Chapter 304: Allow his name to appear on my tombstone
Chapter 304: Allow his name to appear on my tombstone
But on second thought, Shen He didn't think it was too strange since this happened to Chu Zhi.
After all, ever since she met Mu Tingyun, the old lady Chu Zhi had a bad reputation.
Old witch, old pervert, control freak...
In short, none of the adjectives associated with Chu Zhi are positive or complimentary.
So Shen He quickly calmed down and accepted the matter.
"When the old lady followed my grandmother to marry into the Tang family in Hecheng, she was already ten years old. At that time, my uncle was 12 years old, right?"
"My grandfather was an intellectual who studied abroad. I'm sure my uncle was also a charming young man with elegant manners when he was young."
"In that era, a young man like my uncle would shine everywhere. Although the old lady and my uncle are siblings, they are not related by blood."
"It may seem unethical at first glance that the old lady would be attracted to her stepbrother, but if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising."
After listening to Shen He's analysis, Cai Ruhong agreed, "If it's just pure admiration, then that's fine."
"But your mother-in-law has always had an extreme personality. In order to marry our eldest brother, she did several stupid things that people criticized!"
Shen He was a little surprised, "What stupid thing did she do?"
"My uncle told me that all the relatives of our Tang family came when my eldest brother just returned. There were several tables set up that day. Your grandfather was very happy and asked your eldest uncle to drink a few more glasses."
“I ended up getting drunk.”
Upon hearing this bloody beginning, Shen He secretly thought that something was wrong. She said hesitantly, "Will the old lady take this opportunity to... sleep with my uncle?"
Cai Ruhong nodded as expected.
Shen He felt quite disgusted.
The relationship between Chu Zhi and Tang Ji is one that is likable and can be attractive.
But Chu Zhi shouldn’t have taken advantage of someone’s drunkenness!
"A person who is really drunk can't go to bed with others. In fact, that night, my brother didn't touch her at all. It was just that when he woke up the next day and saw Chu Zhi in his bed and crying, my brother was not so sure.
"Chu Zhi threatened to die in order to force my eldest brother to marry her. But my eldest brother refused, saying that he was already engaged. If Chu Zhi really wanted him to marry her, he would rather become a monk!"
"This matter has become a big deal and has alarmed the old guys in the Tang family. My eldest brother is the most promising child in our family, how could he become a monk?"
"In the end, it was an aunt who worked as an obstetrician and gynecologist who stepped in to resolve the crisis. The aunt told Chu Zhi that a new technology had been introduced in the country that could test the residues in women's bodies."
"If the test results prove that Chu Zhi really has Big Brother's stuff in her body, then we'll get married!"
Shen He smiled when she heard this, and she said, "Did our uncle teach that mother-in-law to say this?"
This technology can now be used in all major hospitals.
But more than 50 years ago, there was no such thing in China.
But Tang Ji was a scholar who had studied abroad. He must have heard of this technology a long time ago, so he deliberately used the aunt's words to bluff Chu Zhi.
Cai Ruhong nodded, "Yes, this was indeed your uncle's idea. But Chu Zhi felt guilty. She was young at the time, and was not as ruthless as she later became."
"After being frightened by Auntie, Chu Zhi panicked and could only tell the truth to restore our eldest brother's reputation."
"But because of this incident, she completely offended our family, and her reputation became unsavory."
"This is also the reason why my eldest sister chose to marry far away to Qing City, despite having so many good men in Hecheng."
One is because Song Changan truly loves her.
Another reason is that Qing City is far away.
Information was not well developed in those days, and scandals occurring in Hecheng would generally not spread to Qing City.
"After hearing these things from my uncle, and thinking about how my eldest sister lied to drive Dr. Su away, it's not hard to understand."
"She turned her love for her eldest brother into hatred. She thought that the reason why he didn't want to marry her was because of that childhood sweetheart. So when she saw Dr. Su, all the old and new hatreds came flooding back to her, so she deliberately lied and said that her eldest brother was dead."
Chu Zhi failed to marry Tang Ji, and she would never allow Su Jin to marry Tang Ji.
People’s jealousy is so strong.
"No wonder my uncle was so silent after hearing what my grandma said."
The year Tang Ji returned to China, his reputation was almost ruined by Chu Zhi, and his marriage was ruined by Chu Zhi when he was young.
He must have hated Chu Zhi in his heart.
No wonder he was so indifferent when Song Jingcheng asked him whether the wedding needed to be postponed.
Because Chu Zhi doesn't deserve to be respected.
"Shen He." Cai Ruhong held Shen He's hand and said frankly, "My aunt is a big mouth and can't keep things secret. I know about this and I won't be happy if I don't tell you."
"But I can't tell Jingcheng about these things. After all, no matter how bad the eldest sister is, she is still his mother. You are different."
Cai Ruhong said quickly: "Since ancient times, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been enemies. Besides, she is gone, so it doesn't matter if I talk to you about it."
Shen He: “…” Thank you so much, aunt.
"And I'm telling you this because I hope I can use you to tell Dr. Su about these hidden secrets."
"I know my eldest brother. No matter how much he hates Jingcheng's mother, he will never speak ill of others after they have passed away."
"Besides, he really likes Jingcheng. For Jingcheng's sake, he won't reveal these secrets."
"But this time, Big Brother shamelessly stayed in Qing City and refused to go back to Hecheng with us. What he thought of Doctor Su was obvious to everyone."
"So I hope Dr. Su can know the truth and not blame my eldest brother. Although they are old, they won't be as dramatic as young people."
"But if the two can get along comfortably for a few years, they can also put some regrets to rest."
"dont you agree?"
Shen He also agreed with Cai Ruhong's opinion, "Don't worry, aunt, I won't tell anyone else about these things, but I will talk to grandma about it."
"Well, that's good."
After taking a walk, Shen He went straight to Su Jin's small building.
Su Jin lives in the dormitory in the staff area. Although it is a dormitory, it is actually a stand-alone small house with a yard.
Taotao and Xie Jin's house is right next to hers.
When Shen He arrived, Su Jin was still walking outside and had not returned yet.
Taotao was sitting under the eaves of Su Jin's small building, sorting out a pile of messy dried medicinal herbs.
These herbs were all cut into oblique slices and mixed together. Taotao's job was to sort them out and make no mistakes.
Su Jin is training Taotao to identify Chinese medicinal herbs.
Otherwise, why is it said that learning Chinese medicine requires talent?
Taotao can sit for a whole day doing this without feeling annoyed at all.
But Shen He can't do that.
She could only hold on for twenty minutes before collapsing.
Shen He sat on a small stool next to Taotao waiting for grandma. He felt bored and wanted to chat with Taotao.
But Taotao refused to chat with her and said seriously: "Sister Shen He, I am studying hard. If you don't like studying, please don't disturb me, okay?"
Shen He really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Okay, okay, I'll play with my phone." She was bored and played some casual games on her phone.
Soon, Su Jin came back.
Tang Ji followed her closely and reminded her: "Ajin, walk slowly, don't fall. As you age, your bones lack calcium, and if you fall, you will break bones."
"Bone fractures are minor, but I'm worried about stroke and hemiplegia..."
Su Jin turned around and glanced at Tang Ji coldly. She said, "If you could stop chattering like a parrot, I can concentrate on the road under my feet."
Tang Ji quickly shut his mouth.
Walking into the courtyard, Su Jin saw Shen He waiting for him. He knew that she had something to say to him, so he said to Tao Tao: "Tao Tao, go home first."
Then he turned back to Tang Ji and said, "You go too."
Tang Ji stood there without moving.
Shen He held back her laughter and coaxed Tang Ji: "Uncle, I'll chat with grandma. You can come and play with her tomorrow."
Only then did Tang Ji leave.
After everyone left, Shen He quickly relayed to Su Jin the inside story that Cai Ruhong had told her.
She is only responsible for relaying, not for matchmaking.
After all, grandma has lived for eighty years and is very wise. We don't need her advice.
After listening to this, Su Jin hummed softly and then kept silent.
After a moment, Su Jin said, "In fact, when I first saw Chu Zhi in Hecheng when I was young, I guessed her attitude towards Tang Ji."
"Love and hate are the same, they can't be hidden." Su Jin shook his head and said, "At that time, Chu Zhi's eyes were filled with her love and hate for Tang Ji."
"Then grandma, what do you think?" Shen He would not persuade Su Jin to accept Tang Ji, but still wanted to know grandma's attitude.
Grandma is very open-minded. She said frankly: "We have missed our whole life, so there is no need to force it to be perfect."
"But I allowed him to stay in Qing City."
She allowed Tang Ji to stay with her.
Nothing else will be given.
"Oh, right." Su Jin thought of something, and told Shen He, "If I walk ahead of him in the future."
"Tell him, just say, I allow his name to appear on my tombstone."
"He has kept his promise to me all his life, so I can still give him this honor."
Shen He was stunned.
Allowing Mr. Tang Ji's name to appear on her tombstone means that -
Grandma is willing to be buried as Mr. Tang Ji’s wife!
