520 Picking up garbage and marrying into a wealthy family

"That's not the case..."

Chen Dejie kept staring at the dark road at night, responding to Chen Aifang's words intermittently.

"How could it not be that bad? Your sister can't stand a word I say to her. If I say one thing to her, she can say ten things back to me. And that's only because she gave birth to a son..."

Chen Dejie frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable with Chen Aifang's words, but he opened his mouth several times, and in the end, he only uttered this sentence:

"Mom, aren't you sleepy? Go get some sleep. There's a traffic jam on the road, and it'll take a long time to get home..."

"Do you find me annoying, or do you dislike me criticizing your sister?"

At certain moments, Chen Aifang's intuition was so accurate that it was frightening.

She immediately turned around, faced Chen Dejie, and questioned him with a stern face.

"How could that be, Mom? You're joking... Hehe..."

Chen Dejie, whose thoughts were touched upon, almost choked on his own saliva, but luckily he managed to hold it back. He maintained an extremely serious face and replied in an extremely serious tone.

In response to this, Chen Aifang narrowed her eyes, staring at Chen Dejie suspiciously. After about three breaths, she let Chen Dejie go:

"Okay, then I believe you."

call--

Safety.

Chen Dejie finally let go of his worries.

However, Chen Dejie thought about it and couldn't help but said to Chen Aifang during a traffic light break:

"Mom, please be a little nicer to us every year. Don't always be like this..."

Originally, Chen Aifang had calmed down and was ready to follow Chen Dejie's advice, cover herself with a small quilt, put on an eye mask, and prepare to learn from Xiang Aiguo, who was already fast asleep in the back seat. However, when she heard what Chen Dejie meant to say about Xiang Huanian, she immediately jumped up from the seat she was lying on, sat up straight, and then began to refute:

"What do you mean I should treat her better? How have I ever been bad to her? I fed her, clothed her, and even paid for her education. But after she graduated from college and didn't have a job, she just stayed home, eating and using my things. I had been thinking she'd finally graduated and could start making money."

"I didn't ask her to contribute much to the household expenses, but she couldn't even find a stable job. She was unemployed right after graduation. Do you know what I've been dealing with these days? People I know and don't know, familiar and unfamiliar, would come up to me and ask what my daughter is doing. Do you know how I felt at that time?"

"If they ask you, that's fine. I can still say a few words. But if they ask about Nian Nian, what should I say? Should I say that she is unemployed and living off her parents? If I spread that out, will people laugh at me?"

"Yes, on the surface, they didn't say much. They just comforted me, saying that everything would be fine in the future and that the industry was tight right now. But there were also some people who were arrogant and stood over me, saying that I doted on her too much, and that's why I raised her like this. Then, they looked at me with pity, as if to say, 'What's going to happen to your daughter in the future? She's hopeless.' Do you think I could feel good about it?!"

Chen Aifang has earned her current wealth and supported her own family through her own hard work and dedication.

Therefore, her self-esteem is very high.

At the same time, she naturally believed that as long as she worked hard, as long as she was diligent, and as long as she could endure hardships, she could achieve the same success as her... Therefore, she could never understand Xiang Huanian's behavior of staying at home and only looking for part-time jobs but not looking for a stable job.

Every time Chen Aifang saw the lazy Xiang Huanian, she got furious.

She couldn't understand why she, a successful and accomplished woman in the eyes of others, had such a useless daughter who was almost a stain on her...

Unfortunately, what she didn't know was that nowadays, one can't get the corresponding rewards just by working hard and enduring hardships.

This is a gap between two generations.

It is an insurmountable and indestructible barrier.

Chen Dejie, who felt the fighting power of Chen Aifang's words:

"...Okay, Mom, I won't say any more. Calm down, calm down, don't be so excited, watch your blood pressure. I won't say any more, go to sleep, I'll play some music for you..."

Unexpectedly, his probing words would make Chen Aifang so angry. Chen Dejie looked at Chen Aifang with her arms crossed over her chest, staring at him angrily, and quickly begged for mercy. He turned on the car speakers and played a soothing music.

"Humph!"

Thus, the conversation ended with Chen Aifang gaining the upper hand and came to nothing.

so cold...

It hurts to breathe...

My hands and feet are a little hot...

But, there seems to be a familiar smell...

It seems that it is the smell of rain that I like...

Very reassuring taste.

Hmm...it's getting warmer, and it's so noisy around here. Did something happen...

"Um...disinfectant, don't..."

Half asleep and half awake, Xiang Huanian smelled the disinfectant approaching and struggled to escape, but was held down. Laughter and anxious noises were heard around him.

Then, Xiang Huanian felt his burning limbs being massaged by someone with soft but strong hands. The burning sensation was gradually fading away, making him drowsy.

Finally, accompanied by the smell of plasters around him and the comfortable feeling of his veins being kneaded open, Xiang Huanian gradually fell asleep from his uneasy coma.

an hour ago.

Halfway through being carried back by Gu Lingyan, Xiang Huanian felt relieved and lost consciousness.

Gu Lingyan, who couldn't wait for Xiang Huanian's response, paused, and the next second, he ran towards the Lin family at an even faster speed.

While running, he used his sensitive neck to feel Xiang Huanian's breath at all times.

Fortunately, Xiang Huanian's breathing, although weaker than normal, was steady.

The journey from the villa area to the riverside, which took less than half an hour, was shortened to ten minutes by Gu Lingyan.

When Gu Lingyan ran into Xiang Huanian's room carrying Xiang Huanian on his back, Song Renan and Lin Yunchu, who had been prepared, made proper arrangements and let Xiang Huanian land safely on his bed.

Then, the corresponding treatment was carried out in an orderly and swift manner.

For frostbite patients, it is very dangerous not to use hot water bottles or heaters immediately.

Use soothing massage to get the patient's blood flowing again, which has become stagnant and sluggish due to the cold.

Gu Lingyan took care of this step personally.

Even though Xiang Huanian, who was in a coma, showed resistance and struggled, Gu Lingyan, with the help of Lin Yunchu and others, was able to open up Xiang Huanian's blocked meridians.

From running out, to finding Xiang Huanian and running back home, to now doing non-stop physical therapy, until the moment Xiang Huanian's vital signs stabilized, Gu Lingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's really, really terrible..."

OS: I originally wanted to write at the beginning that the kiss made the whole body hot, to ease the heat... but here, it is obviously unrealistic... Tsk.
