Rebirth Era: After the Beautiful Sister-in-law Refuses to Open Business

"An old friend who had been in the trenches. His family used to live in the same compound as our Chen family."

Thinking that the Xiao family was still living in Shisong Village, Mr. Chen felt mixed emotions. It was not that he had not thought about helping the Xiao family.

But the process involved is both strict and slow, and the old friend and his family can only return to Beijing after everything has been verified clearly.

Thinking about this, Old Man Chen hesitated for a moment and spoke again: "I have heard from your father that you and Xiao Yu are friends. Later, I heard from my old friend about you. He said that you have been helping their family. Son, Grandpa is here to thank you!"

Song Lan shook her head and smiled: "Grandpa, you don't need to thank me. I haven't helped Grandpa Xiao's family for a long time. I first met Xiao Yu in the village by chance.

When I learned about their family's situation, I thought that we were all friends after all, and I could help out within my ability. There was no reason for me to just stand by and watch my friend's family suffer from lack of food and clothing.

Especially when there are old and young people in that family, if I clearly have the ability to lend a helping hand but turn a blind eye, even I would look down on myself.

Besides, friends should be loyal to each other, and it is easier to add icing on the cake than to help someone in need. I believe that if my family and I were in such a situation, Xiao Yu would do his best to help me if he is able to do so."

"You are very thoughtful, and a good kid!"

Old Master Chen spoke sincerely. Hearing this, Song Lan smiled as a response.

As time passed, the car finally drove into a heavily guarded courtyard. About three or four minutes later, Song Lan, who was sitting in the car, saw the car drive into a gate.

When the car slowly stopped, Mr. Chen's attendant and driver got out one after another, followed by Song Lan and Mr. Chen. After standing firmly, Song Lan looked around the yard imperceptibly, and saw that the yard was nearly two hundred square meters.

The flowers and plants are arranged in a very stylish way.

"Come on, let's go into the house."

Mr. Chen had a kind smile on his face and gently asked Song Lan to follow him.

"Lan Lan!"

This was the voice of Old Mrs. Chen. She walked out of the living room, saw Song Lan, and called out happily.

"grandmother!"

Song Lan's eyes were filled with smiles, and she responded immediately.

Speaking of which, the Chen family's house in the compound is almost like a villa, and looks quite grand. And based on the Chen family's specific geographical location in the compound, it is not difficult to see that Mr. Chen's status is not low.

reason?

In this compound, the higher one's status, the further inside one lives, and the environment is undoubtedly quieter.

And the housing area should be larger!

"This is your aunt."

Song Lan took two quick steps and supported Old Lady Chen. Then she heard Old Lady Chen introduce the middle-aged woman next to her. Hearing this, Song Lan looked at her and greeted her politely, "Hello, Auntie."

"You are Lanlan, right? You are so beautiful, like a fairy!"

There is no doubt that the middle-aged woman is Chen Changqing's wife Zhang Hua. She seems to be talking to Song Lan enthusiastically, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to see that she is smiling but not really smiling. The feeling she gives people is just one word - fake!

Song Lan smiled but didn't respond.

After entering the living room, Zhang Hua saw Song Lan still standing after Mr. and Mrs. Chen sat down. She couldn't help but say, "Lanlan, you should sit down too. You must be hungry after getting off the train. Auntie will bring you a bowl of noodles right away."

"I ate on the train, so don't bother!"

Song Lan declined. She could see that the other party didn't welcome her into the house, but because of Mr. and Mrs. Chen, she had to pretend to welcome her.

To be honest, watching the other person acting in front of her, no matter whether that person is tired or not, she feels tired for him from the bottom of her heart.

"It's impossible to eat well on the train. Sit down and take a rest. Ask your aunt to make you a bowl of noodles. Eating a little will make you feel better."

Old Mrs. Chen smiled and reached out to pull Song Lan to sit next to her.

Zhang Hua went to the kitchen, but when she turned around and left the living room, her face was very gloomy.

"Grandma, Grandpa, the hospital should provide me with accommodation, so I won't live at home to avoid any inconvenience at work."

Song Lan didn't want to offend anyone. Although her father was the second son of the family, her parents didn't live in this house after all. Besides, her grandparents in front of her had only known her father for a short time.

She was not even familiar with the other members of the Chen family. If she, a child from the second wife, were to live here, even for just a few days, conflicts might arise.

"What's the inconvenience? You live at home, and grandpa arranges a driver to pick you up and drop you off at get off work every day, so that you can spend more time with me and your grandma."

Without waiting for Old Lady Chen to say anything, Old Master Chen expressed his disapproval of what Song Lan said.

"Lanlan, your grandfather is right. Having a car to pick you up from get off work won't affect your work. Besides, living in a dormitory is not as comfortable as living in your own home, don't you think?"

Old Mrs. Chen agreed with Old Mr. Chen and did not forget to continue to persuade Song Lan.

But Song Lan was not convinced. She smiled and said, "I came to Beijing on a secondment. From a doctor's perspective, I have to be responsible for the patients. Grandpa told me about the general situation of those old comrades on the phone. Once the operation is done,

Then the patient will definitely need to be carefully observed after the operation, and may have to be sent to the intensive care unit for two days after leaving the operating table.

If any emergency occurs during this period, the surgeon will have to rush to the ward immediately. If I live at home, I will definitely be delayed on the road.

Saving lives is like putting out a fire, Grandpa and Grandma, you know there is no time to waste! "

When she spoke the latter part, Song Lan's expression was serious and solemn. Seeing her like this, Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen didn't know how to respond for a moment.

After a while, Mr. Chen said, "Then do as you say."

What my precious granddaughter said makes sense. One of the old guys has shell fragments left in his brain. Although the experts in Beijing can treat brain injuries, it is not easy to remove the shell fragments left in the old guy's brain.

In other words, there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents during surgery.

It's just that the remaining shell fragments cannot be easily moved.

——The brain's neural tissue is complex, and most of the shell fragments that have remained over the years have become adhered to the surrounding neural tissue, making it almost impossible to peel them out smoothly.

This time, he borrowed his precious granddaughter through the organization, and just let the little girl examine the old friends first to see which one is suitable for surgery, and then draw up a specific surgical plan.

As for those who cannot undergo surgery, he would never let his precious granddaughter take the risk!

Thinking of this, Old Man Chen's voice sounded again: "Lanlan, among those old guys that Grandpa mentioned to you on the phone before, one has shell fragments left in his brain.

As for whether he can have surgery, after you carefully examine him, if he can't have surgery, don't feel embarrassed, just tell him the truth."

The little girl has a great talent for medicine, he can't interrupt her career!

"Don't worry, Grandpa. If I'm not sure enough, I won't operate on the patient."

There was a smile in Song Lan's eyes and her tone was light and calm. She always acted casually when it came to curing illnesses and saving lives.

As a doctor, even if you are used to seeing life and death, you still have to have awe in the face of life!

"I was hoping to spend more time with Lanlan, but now it seems that's impossible!"

Old Mrs. Chen's tone was full of regret, but she could not object to what Song Lan said. However, she also guessed one reason why Song Lan was unwilling to live at home - the attitude of her third daughter-in-law Zhang Hua.

She smiled with her mouth but didn't smile, thinking that no one could see her little thoughts!

"Lanlan, eat it while it's hot. Auntie made two poached eggs in it for you."

Zhang Hua returned to the living room with a bowl of egg noodles with chopped green onions. Seeing her coming over, Song Lan stood up, took the bowl from her, and casually said "thank you".

Then, she placed a bowl of chopped green onion and egg noodles on the coffee table in front of her and said:

"There's too much for me to use up. I'll go to the kitchen and get some more bowls and chopsticks to scoop out some."

Zhang Hua: “I didn’t bet much.”

Old Mrs. Chen: "It really doesn't look like there's much. Lanlan, just eat it. If you can't finish it, just leave it in the bowl."

"Grandma, I've really eaten on the train before, but now I feel a little nervous looking at this big bowl of noodles. How about you share this bowl between me, grandpa and grandma?"

Hearing Song Lan say this, Old Lady Chen waved her hand: "I'm not hungry, don't give me any." She turned her eyes to Old Man Chen: "How about letting Lan Lan get some for you?"

Seeing that Song Lan was really embarrassed by the big bowl of noodles, Mr. Chen had to help his precious granddaughter out: "Okay, grandpa will help you share some of the burden."

"I'll get the dishes."

Without waiting for Song Lan to go to the kitchen, Zhang Hua left a message and walked away in a blink of an eye.

Not long after, Zhang Hua returned to the living room with a set of dishes and chopsticks. At this moment, an angry female voice came from the door of the living room: "Who are you? You actually want my mother to serve you?!"

"Xiao Shu!"

Before the bowl and chopsticks in his hand were handed to Song Lan, Zhang Hua heard a familiar female voice, looked up at the person who came, and said in a displeased manner: "What do you mean by serving or not? Speak properly!"

"Mom, who is she? Why are you serving her? Did you cook this bowl of noodles too?"

The person who came was Chen Shu, holding her several-month-old daughter in her arms. She looked arrogant and looked at Song Lan up and down with contempt in her eyes.

"go out!"

Old Master Chen's face darkened as he shouted at Chen Shu, "You are not welcome in this home. Have you forgotten or are you pretending not to know?"

"Grandpa~"

Chen Shu acted like a spoiled child: "It was such a long time ago, why do you still remember it now? I am your granddaughter, do you have to keep arguing with me over such a small matter?!"

"I'd rather you had nothing to do with this family!"

Mr. Chen said, "If you don't leave, do you want me to chase you away?"

"Dad, let the past be the past. Xiaoshu is your and my mom's granddaughter after all. We can't really disown her, right?!"

Zhang Hua spoke up for Chen Shu. Upon hearing this, Old Lady Chen didn't wait for Old Man Chen to speak. She glanced at Zhang Hua and Chen Shu and said:

"You are the one who allowed Xiaoshu to grow up like this. Otherwise, she would have done such shameless things again and again. Now you are pretending to be a good person.

Do you think we old couple are not acting like elders and are being petty with our own granddaughter?"

"Mom, you misunderstood me. I think a harmonious family is the key to success. Xiaoshu has already admitted her mistake. Why should you and my dad bother with a little kid like her?!"

Zhang Hua defended himself.

In Chen Shu's eyes, she felt that Old Lady Chen was bullying Zhang Hua's stepmother. She sat on the sofa with her child in her arms, looked at Old Lady Chen and said:

"Grandma, what do you mean my mother spoiled me into this state? I don't think I have done anything unforgivable.

But you and grandpa felt that I was sorry for the Xiao family and Xiao Yu because Xiao Yu and I divorced normally.

Later, Wang Junchi and I got together. I was just doing something before getting the marriage certificate that can only be done after getting the marriage certificate. What's wrong with that?

We truly love each other and can't help but do that. Now Wang Junchi and I are living a good life. Who in the compound would gossip about us?

On the other hand, you are my closest relatives, but you insist on holding on to the past, and treat me like an enemy. Aren’t you worried that others will say you are cold-blooded? You don’t even recognize your own granddaughter!"

"Xiao Shu, stop talking!"

Zhang Hua saw that both Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen looked very unhappy. He was afraid that Chen Shu would make them angry or kick them out. He could not help but scold them:

"You have to behave like a junior in front of your elders. If you keep saying whatever you want like you did just now, then you really can't come into this house anymore."

"Mom~"

Chen Shu felt wronged, but Zhang Hua ignored her. She couldn't help but bring the fight back to Song Lan: "Who are you and what are you doing in my house?

Could he be a poor beggar, or some country relative who came to my house to beg for money?"

"My father is the second son of this family. My name is Song Lan. I am your cousin by blood relationship. Today I appear in this family.

I am returning to my own home, not the poor beggar that you, my cousin, are talking about, nor am I some country relative who is here to beg for money."

Song Lan looked directly at Chen Shu with an unusually calm expression: "Also, you'd better be polite when speaking in front of grandpa and grandma, otherwise, grandpa and grandma won't bother with a junior like you, but I, your cousin, will teach you a lesson for grandpa and grandma!"

"Cousin? What kind of cousin are you to me? Teach me how to behave? You are so capable, why don't you go to heaven?!"

Chen Shu stood up, put her daughter in her arms into Zhang Hua's hands, and then tried to slap Song Lan.

As a result, before her hand could touch Song Lan, Song Lan slapped her in the face.

"You, you hit me? You actually hit me?!"

Covering the half of her face that was beaten, Chen Shu's eyes were full of disbelief.

"Just fight, do you really need to pick a day?"

Song Lan's eyes were cold and sharp, and he said coldly: "You are spoiled and domineering, disrespectful to your elders, and you don't repent when you do something wrong, but you keep saying that you are right. In my eyes, people like you are simply asking for punishment!"

"I'll fight you!"

Chen Shu tried to attack Song Lan again, and the next moment, Song Lan slapped her on the other half of her face. However, Song Lan did not let her go, and slapped her twice in a row, causing Chen Shu to step back involuntarily and finally fall to the ground.

Facing unilateral abuse, Chen Shu knew she couldn't take advantage, and she immediately opened her mouth and cried out: "Grandpa! Grandma! Are you just going to watch me get beaten by this bitch? Woohoo, am I still your granddaughter?"
