Reborn 73 years later, he takes his mother-in-law hunting in the mountains.

Seeing that Zheng Wenli's expression was off, Lu Yao quickly looked at Jing Youxiang, who was sleeping on the edge of the bed.

You should call her to get up.

Zheng Wenli slapped Lu Yao's hand away:

"Hey, what's wrong with you, comrade? Why are you getting handsy with a woman?"

Lu Yao chuckled: "Little Zheng, are you kidding me? Playing dumb with me after just two days?"

Zheng Wenli looked at Lu Yao very seriously:

"What nonsense are you spouting? I don't know you. Did you come to the wrong room?"

Lu Yao's smile froze.

Zheng Wenli never jokes with himself.

He hates himself, so it's normal for him to lose his temper and curse.

But the expression on their faces, as if they were complete strangers, made Lu Yao sense that something was wrong.

At this moment, Jing Youxiang woke up and wiped the drool from her mouth.

"Hey Wenli, why are you up again? The doctor told you to rest. Your leg was just set; if it's dislocated, you'll suffer. Lie down!"

"Oh, I'll lie down right away. Youxiang, could you please ask this guy to leave? I don't even know him. He was trying to touch you just now."

After saying that, he looked at Lu Yao with a wary expression.

Jing Youxiang then turned around and saw Lu Yao standing behind her.

"Oh, Lu Yao, you're here."

I quickly stood up, but felt dizzy and almost fell.

Lu Yao could tell from her complexion that she was extremely tired.

"You haven't been sleeping well these past few days?"

Jing Youxiang quickly pulled Lu Yao: "Come on, let's go outside and talk to you."

Just as Zheng Wenli was about to sit up again, Jing Youxiang turned around and glared at him:

"You better behave yourself! Or the nurse will get angry!"

"Okay, I'll be good!"

Zheng Wenli quickly lay down.

He pulled the blanket over half his face, leaving only his shifty eyes peeking out.

Lu Yao followed Jing Youxiang out and into the corridor.

Jing Youxiang sighed, staring at Lu Yao with bloodshot eyes:

"Zheng Wenli was dumbfounded."

After saying that, her eyes filled with tears.

"What happened? Did you damage a nerve?"

Jing Youxiang nodded: "Yes, the doctor said he suffered a concussion and nerve damage..."

She leaned against the corridor wall, rubbing her sore eyes, her voice a little hoarse.

"The doctor called it 'retrograde amnesia.' It means that I suffered a severe blow to the head, which damaged the part of my brain that is responsible for memory. I can still remember things from before, but I can't remember things from recently. It's like an overexposed photograph; that part is gone."

Lu Yao asked, "How much does he remember?"

Jing Youxiang thought for a moment: "He knows his father and mother. It's just... he can't remember how he got injured, nor can he remember what happened in the last few months. Just now, Yang Shouye and the commune accountant came to see him, but he didn't recognize them. He even asked me when I went to work at Shuiling Commune."

Lu Yao didn't say anything, but lit a cigarette.

This guy seems to be in a bad situation.

At least he survived.

Jing Youxiang added, "The doctor said that this kind of amnesia could be temporary or permanent. It depends on how well it recovers on its own. There's no blood clot in the brain, it's just a concussion of the nerves. It was caused by an external impact."

Lu Yao looked at her.

Her eyes were red, her lips were a little dry, and her face had thinned. She hadn't been able to relax these past two days.

"It's better if he doesn't remember," Lu Yao said. "If he doesn't remember, he won't have to worry about people he shouldn't. By the way, if he doesn't recognize me, how does he recognize you?"

Jing Youxiang laughed: "Because the first thing he saw when he woke up was me. It's strange, he can call me by name, but he doesn't know how he knows me. He just feels like I'm family to him! What a fool."

Lu Yao reached out and patted her shoulder:

"You've had a tough time these past few days. If you don't want to stay here, I'll have the hospital find someone to replace you. Go home and rest."

Jing Youxiang gave a bitter smile: "His mother didn't want me to get close to her son after she heard that I was Jing Yiming's daughter. But just as I was about to leave, Zheng Wenli pulled out his needles and tried to get out of bed to follow me, saying that if I left, he would leave and wouldn't continue treatment. That's why his mother didn't dare let me leave."

Lu Yao couldn't help but smile wryly: "But you can't just stay here all the time without earning a salary. How about this, I'll talk to Shi Mengyi and have her reinstate your employment..."

Jing Youxiang pulled Lu Yao back, her expression somber:

"Lu Yao, no need."

"What do you mean? Didn't you want to come back to work?"

"I don't want to think about it now."

Jing Youxiang shook her head:

"I've been in the hospital these past few days... My former colleagues are all avoiding me, and Little Fatty won't even talk to me anymore. I don't know what I did to offend her... We used to be best friends..."

Lu Yao glanced at the sad Jing Youxiang and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This girl is new to the world; she doesn't know the coldness and warmth of human relationships until she experiences them!

Her father used to be a prestigious factory director, so his colleagues naturally fawned over him, and even the director and dean spoiled her.

She thought it was because she was popular with people.

Now that her father is not only a prisoner but also a spy for her family, who would want to see her?

Especially now that people hate the Japanese so much, many of them have a blood feud with the Japanese. If your identity is exposed, it's already a miracle that they don't gang up on you.

Lu Yao reached into his pocket and pulled out another twenty yuan:

"It's alright, Youxiang, go back to Jiapigou. No one there will look down on you; they'll all treat you as a friend."

Jing Youxiang quickly pushed Lu Yao's hand away:

"No, no, no, you and Xiao Meizi need money to make a living, I can't always take your money."

"Then you need to rest too. I'll go find the hospital director and ask a nurse to take your place."

Jing Youxiang grabbed Lu Yao again:

"Lu Yao, Zheng Wenli encountered bad guys while I was being escorted, and he was also beaten up for saving me. Helping him makes me feel better; this little bit of suffering is nothing. Don't ask anyone else for help."

Seeing that she was determined, Lu Yao nodded:

"Okay, as long as you can handle it."

Jing Youxiang bit her lip again and looked at Lu Yao:

"Uncle Zheng said he wants to contact a major hospital in Beijing to see if there's a better way to treat Zheng Wenli. Otherwise, not only is he forgetting what's been happening lately, but he's also acting dazed, and I'm worried it will affect his work."

"Oh, that's good, after all, the medical standards in the capital are higher."

Jing Youxiang glared at Lu Yao: "I'm going too, you won't be angry, will you?"

Lu Yao understood Jing Youxiang's meaning.

She still likes herself, so she cares a lot about Lu Yao's feelings.

Lu Yao grabbed her shoulders: "Youxiang..."

He felt somewhat speechless.

No matter what, I can't give her a proper title, so it's not right to occupy a position without doing anything.

I respect your choice.

That was all Lu Yao could say.

Jing Youxiang smiled and pushed Lu Yao's hand away:

"Look at what you're saying! I'm just going to Beijing to take care of him. I'll come back as soon as he gets better. Do you think I'm going to marry him? I like you, not him. You were already silly, and now you're even sillier..."

At this point, she quickly covered her mouth, her big eyes darting around to look at her surroundings:

"Don't let his mother hear this, that woman is fierce."

Lu Yao smiled and said, "You serve her son and she still dares to be mean to you. If she dares to be mean to you again, I'll tell her that you're my sister."

"Will it work?"

"Why don't you give it a try?"

"Haha, hopefully your reputation will intimidate her."

Just then, the sound of leather shoes echoed down the corridor.

The two turned around and saw that it was Zheng Wenli's mother, Li Yinping.
