1952: Walking through Nantongluo Alley

"Dongxu, the food will be ready soon. Go inside and call Tingting to prepare to eat."

Jia Zhang said to Jia Dongxu while cleaning up the dishes.

"Got it, Mom. I'll go call Tingting for dinner."

Jia Zhang frowned slightly and expressed her recent dissatisfaction.

"Dongxu, you have to take good care of Tingting. It's not okay for her to be like this every day."

"Tell me, is there anyone like her in the entire Forty-Nine City? Not to mention serving her mother-in-law and son, she's actually rebelling against Tian Gang."

"It becomes us mother and I serving her all day long."

Jia Dongxu still felt a little scared when he recalled the experience of being beaten by Tingting.

The panda eyes I got when I first got married haven’t completely gone away yet.

He didn't dare point fingers at Tingting.

"Mom, I get it. Tingting just got married, so many things need to be done slowly."

"I'll go call Tingting for dinner first."

After Jia Dongxu left, Jia Zhangshi carried the dishes and chopsticks to the table alone.

After all the dishes were served, Jia Dongxu came out with Tingting.

Jia Dongxu pulled out a chair for Tingting and helped her sit down himself.

This scene made Jia Zhang feel unhappy again.

Tingting sat down and just picked up the chopsticks to eat.

Seeing a plate of ants on the table, his brows furrowed.

"Why are there still ants?"

“Can this be eaten?”

Jia Dongxu hurried to explain.

"This is a folk remedy for treating illness."

"I'm a little weak in that area, but ants fried in lard can cure it."

Then, Jia Dongxu brought over a plate of ants fried in lard, and began to wolf down the ants soaked in the glass of white wine.

Seeing that there were still living ants in the cup, Jia Dongxu gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and drank it in one gulp.

“Hiccup~~~”

After drinking a glass of white wine, Jia Dongxu's whole face began to turn red.

He couldn't drink alcohol, and could only drink two taels at most. The last glass of wine directly reached his limit.

At this time, Jia Dongxu felt a warm feeling in his stomach, and he didn't know whether it was the effect of the white wine or the ants.

"Dongxu, how is it?" asked Jia Zhang.

"Are you feeling unwell? Even if you feel a little unwell, you have to bear it and just eat more steamed bread."

All medicines are poisonous, let alone this kind of folk remedy.

When he first got the folk remedy, the other party told him that his stomach would feel a little uncomfortable after eating it, which is a normal reaction.

As long as you endure and persist for a few days, you can regain your masculinity.

"Now that you mention it, it seems like my stomach is really a little uncomfortable."

Jia Dongxu said while rubbing his stomach.

Then his brows furrowed, and the palm of his hand rubbing his stomach began to exert some force.

"Hiss... Why is it a little itchy, like ants biting in my stomach..."

As he spoke, sweat appeared on Jia Dongxu's forehead.

Jia Zhang handed over a steamed bun.

"Dongxu, this is a normal reaction. Hurry up and eat some steamed bread!"

Jia Dongxu took the steamed bread and swallowed it in two or three gulps.

After eating a steamed bread, the tingling sensation not only did not ease, but became even more severe.

His face had turned a little pale.

"Dongxu, are you okay? How about I accompany you to the hospital now?" Tingting reminded from the side.

Although she was usually dissatisfied with some of Jia Dongxu's actions, they were a legal couple after all.

Although she often said she wanted a divorce, it was only to motivate Jia Dongxu to make progress.

Women in this era all have the mentality of marrying a chicken and following the chicken, marrying a dog and following the dog.

Choose one person to spend the rest of your life with.

"Why send her to a hospital? I already told you it's just a side effect of this folk remedy, just bear with it."

"Dongxu, if you still feel stomachache, try drinking a bowl of cornmeal porridge."

Jia Zhang is becoming more and more dissatisfied with Tingting, and she goes to the hospital for every little thing.

Do you really think that money comes from strong winds?

"Folk remedies, folk remedies, what era is it now and still people believe in folk remedies?"

"I've already said it. If anything happens to Dongxu later, don't blame me for not reminding him." Tingting snorted coldly.

"Tingting, what do you mean? Cursing Dongxu to have problems? I told you this is just a side effect of the folk remedy!" Jia Zhang was a little angry.

When Jia Dongxu was still young, Jia Zhang had consulted a fortune teller.

It is said that his son Jia Dongxu is a wealthy and powerful man who lives a long life.

"Mom, can you please stop talking!" Jia Dongxu said with a pale face.

"Tingting said this because she cares about me. How could you, how could you..."

At this time, Jia Dongxu had difficulty speaking.

Unfortunately, Jia Zhangshi didn’t see it.

Her chest kept rising and falling, and she kept thinking about what Jia Dongxu had just said.

Hearing Jia Dongxu's words, she seemed to see her miserable later years.

It had only been a short time since Tingting got married, but Jia Dongxu was already talking about himself to Tingting.

It’s like this now, what will happen in the future?

Just then, an accident happened suddenly.

Jia Dongxu, who was originally sitting on a chair, fell directly to the ground.

"Hiss... It hurts so much, my stomach hurts so much, Mom, I can't bear it anymore!" Jia Dongxu covered his stomach with both hands and rolled on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Jia Zhang and Tingting panicked and quickly got up to pull Jia Dongxu.

"Dongxu, are you okay? Don't scare your mother." Jia Zhang said in panic with tears in her eyes.

"You're in charge and you still say it's okay? I'm going to call the uncle. We have to send Dongxu to the hospital right now!" Tingting was completely speechless to Jia Zhangshi.

Tingting ran to Yi Zhonghai's house and shouted to the two people who were eating.

"Uncle, something bad has happened to Dongxu. He must be rushed to the hospital!"

Yi Zhonghai and the old lady were so frightened that they stood up immediately.

"Tingting, what did you say? Something happened to Dongxu?"

Yi Zhonghai said anxiously to the old lady.

"Go and ask Uncle Er to pull his cart over here. I'm going to go see Dongxu now!"

The aunt nodded.

Then the three of them split into two groups and ran away in panic.

Yi Zhonghai and Tingting came to Jia Zhang's house and saw Jia Dongxu lying on the ground, holding his stomach and howling.

"Sister-in-law, what happened to Dongxu?"

"Dongxu, Dongxu..."

At this moment, Jia Zhang seemed like a child who had done something wrong. She was crying and wiping her tears constantly.

"Dongxu had some health problems, so I found a folk remedy for him to take. I didn't expect it to be like this."

"What did you feed Dongxu?"

Jia Zhang pointed to the plate of leftover ants fried in lard on the table.

"I gave this to Dongxu..."

Seeing the ants on the table, Yi Zhonghai was furious.

"Nonsense! Sister-in-law, you are really nonsense! How can you eat ants?"

Yi Zhonghai angrily threw Jia Zhang aside, picked up Jia Dongxu and walked out.

At this time, Liu Haizhong also came over in a hurry, pulling a cart.

"What happened to Uncle Yi? I just heard Aunt Yi say that Dongxu was in trouble."

Don't think that the two of them had just had a period of intrigue in the factory a few days ago.

But in the courtyard, if anything happens, they will put aside their past grudges and immediately work together.
