The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it

When Jiang Ziling heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. He then lowered his head and silently continued to eat the rice in the bowl without saying a word, as if all his emotions had sunk into his heart with this silent movement.

Seeing this, Su Yu added softly, "I guess he might be afraid or something, but deep down, he still cares about you."

Her intention was simple. She just hoped to bring some comfort to Jiang Ziling's heart, not to justify Jiang's father's behavior.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ziling responded softly: "Ayu, no need to say more, I understand what you mean."

Su Yu was stunned by this understanding. She didn't expect that he could capture the emotions behind her words so keenly.

Jiang Ziling's eyes flashed with a complicated expression, and he continued, "The problem has been accumulated for a long time and it is difficult to change it easily. From childhood to adulthood, he has never really fulfilled his responsibilities as a father to my brother and me. It is because of his indulgence and indifference that Zhao's behavior has become increasingly arrogant. Every time he turns a blind eye, it is like a knife stabbing us in the heart."

His words were calm, but they could hardly conceal the loneliness that penetrated deep into his bones.

When Su Yu heard this, his heart ached, and he couldn't help but feel a little pity for the tough man in front of him.

Although she knew very well that she was powerless to change it all, she could only listen silently and give him a little insignificant company.

What surprised Jiang Ziling himself was that he, who had always been reluctant to talk about his grievances, seemed to open up in front of Su Yu. The bitterness and pain that were buried deep in his heart seemed to have found a gap and flowed out continuously.

Talking about the days after his elder brother was injured, and the cold stares and alienation he suffered because of his leg disease, Jiang Ziling's voice trembled slightly, but revealed an unusual firmness.

"At that time when everyone was avoiding me, it was Xier's arrival that gave me new meaning. The chance encounter by the river, the meeting of two souls forgotten by the world, I decided to keep her by my side without hesitation, even if the whole world said I was crazy. With her company, the loneliness and pain seemed to become bearable."

Jiang Ziling tried hard to force a smile, but that smile was mixed with bitterness and helplessness, which made Su Yu feel heartbroken.

Xier, who was standing by, seemed to sense Jiang Ziling's emotions. She loosened her little hand and dropped the chopsticks quietly to the ground. She gently leaned her head on Jiang Ziling's shoulder and rubbed it with her soft little face, silently conveying the most sincere comfort.

Su Yu saw this scene clearly and knew it well. Even the smallest life could feel the depression in Jiang Ziling's heart, let alone her? This resonance made her more determined to stand by his side, even if she could only provide the simplest support and companionship.

She smiled, her eyes curved into crescents, and gently put a large piece of shiny pig's trotter into Jiang Ziling's bowl. The meat was plump and the color was attractive.

Her tone was light and cheerful, like a spring breeze blowing past your ears: "Eat what you need to replenish your body. You need to nourish your legs and feet. When you can walk briskly, our family of three, including our little Xier, will enjoy delicious food and fish to our heart's content, leaving others with only envy."

"Okay!" Jiang Ziling grinned, his eyes flashing with infinite expectations and joy for the future, as if he had already seen the warm scene of a family having fun and sharing a feast.

Bai Ling'er, who was standing aside, looked at the dishes of clear soup noodles and bland vegetarian side dishes on the table, her eyes almost popped out of her head.

The air was filled with the aroma of meat just now, but what was served on the table was so shabby that his face suddenly became as gloomy as a dark cloud.

"Sister," Bai Ling'er said with a hint of displeasure, "If you want your milk to be thick and nutritious, you have to eat something delicious, right? Using these bland foods to deal with me is too much."

Fang Qin heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, and she quickly waved her hands to explain, her tone revealing helplessness: "Oh, it's because grandma is not feeling well and couldn't go to town to buy meat. You just have to make do with it today."

Fortunately, Zhao didn't get up to eat, otherwise, with her temper, she would definitely scold Bai Ling'er.

Xie Xinghua usually brought the food she cooked directly to her room, and Dazhuang was snoring loudly at the moment, so there were only four of them at the dinner table, and the atmosphere was particularly subtle.

Bai Ling'er opened her red lips slightly, her voice mixed with dissatisfaction: "When I first stepped into the yard, the smell of meat was simply enchanting, but now you say you don't have any prepared. Do you think I'm an outsider and you're not willing to share even a bite?"

People often say that the Jiang family has accumulated some wealth through hunting over the years, but they didn't expect that they are so stingy when it comes to food, and they are very particular about even a bowl of meat.

Even though Fang Qin was extremely unhappy, she did not dare to offend this young lady. She could only suppress her anger and patiently explain, "No, you must be smelling the stew at my second brother's house. If I really had that, why wouldn't I let you have a taste?"

Bai Ling'er then reluctantly picked up the bowl and chopsticks, muttering: "As soon as I smelled the smell, I knew it was meat stewed with black medicine. I thought you were hiding it and didn't want me to taste it."

"How dare I!"

Fang Qin hurriedly explained, in an anxious tone, "Even if it's true, you can't eat it while you're breastfeeding!"

"How do you say this?"

Bai Ling'er looked puzzled. "Black medicine stewed meat is the most suitable for breastfeeding women. It can replenish blood and relieve gas, making milk more nutritious, which is the best for the baby. When I was in confinement, my mother-in-law would stew it for me every day. Look at how strong our boy is. Isn't that the best proof?"

"what?"

Fang Qin accidentally jolted the dishes and chopsticks, which fell heavily on the table with a clang. Jiang Youfu was so frightened that he involuntarily shrank his neck, looking like a frightened bird.

Bai Ling'er was also startled by the sudden noise and frowned: "What's wrong with you?"

Fang Qin felt extremely remorseful and hated herself for being easily deceived by the unscrupulous businessman's sweet words. She was furious.

Not only did I work hard for the whole day in vain, but I also lost two taels of precious silver. I really can't swallow this.

No, we can't just let this go. We must go find that unscrupulous businessman and demand justice!

She suddenly jumped up from the chair, and the movement was so big that the chair slid backwards, making a harsh friction sound. Jiang Xunzhong was well aware of the entanglement and knew that Fang Qin was holding back her resentment.

He hurried forward, his tone filled with anxiety and helplessness, trying to calm the storm that was about to erupt: "Forget it, things are embarrassing enough. If you stir up trouble again, I'm afraid you will only bring trouble upon yourself."

After he finished speaking, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes, as if he had foreseen possible troubles in the future.

Unexpectedly, Fang Qin not only did not calm down, but became even more furious. Her words were like a wild horse running wild.
