Chapter 175 The Sisters-in-Law's Intentions
"It's alright, Mom. There's no need for formalities among family. If you feel unwell anywhere, just tell me and I'll treat you."
Zhang Shuhua nodded repeatedly, her eyes filled with increasing satisfaction as she looked at her eldest daughter-in-law: "Good, I'll enjoy this blessing. I won't stand on ceremony with you. It's hot in the yard, so hurry inside."
"Baozhu, get some orange soda for your eldest and second sisters-in-law. Your father went to town and bought a few bottles so they can try some."
Jiang Baozhu exclaimed in surprise, "Mom, Dad is willing to buy orange soda now? He wouldn't buy it before when I asked him to. Hehe, do I have a bottle?"
"Yes, they're all for you. Go and take them."
"Haha, that's great!"
Seeing her sister-in-law's loud and boisterous manner, Wang Zhaodi couldn't help but say, "Mother, I'm not trying to be mean, Baozhu, but it's not good for a grown woman to be so loud and boisterous."
"Sigh, she'll be looking for a husband in a couple of years. Some people get married early, and at her age, she's already married. She can't be too loud and domineering to be a good wife and mother, or her husband's family will look down on her."
"I'm doing this for her own good. After all, I'm the second sister-in-law. Who else would tell her these things?"
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat tense after those words were spoken.
Jiang Baozhu's smile froze, and her eyes flashed with a mixture of grievance and anger as she looked at her: "You, you've gone too far."
Zhang Shuhua glanced at her second daughter-in-law, then at her second son, and suppressed a smile.
Seeing this, Wen Yao said gently, "Sister-in-law, what you're saying is wrong. Baozhu is just lively and lovely. Who doesn't like a girl full of energy? A lifeless girl is too easy to attract bad luck."
"Moreover, I read a lot of books since I was a child, and my parents are both cultured people. They told me that if you want to do good for others, you should either give them money or praise them more. Only seeing their shortcomings is not doing good for them."
"Sister-in-law, don't you think so? Baozhu is not even eighteen yet. This is the perfect age for her to be lively. What's the problem?"
Wang Zhaodi watched as her lips moved, instinctively wanting to retort, but remembering the purpose of her visit, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Forget it, she came here to ask her for a favor. If I offend her too much, it would be very embarrassing to be rejected at the dinner table.
He forced a smile and said, "Yes, sister-in-law is right. I treat Baozhu like my own sister. I just hope she'll be sensible so she can have a good life with her husband's family in the future."
Wen Yao smiled and said, "Oh, I see. So you're so considerate of outsiders, sister-in-law. It seems that your in-laws, whoever they are, have a lot of influence."
"It's different for me. I'm protective of my own. Baozhu has such a good personality. She's good-looking and lively. A lively home brings good fortune. Otherwise, a noisy home is bad luck."
"Baozhu, go get some soda, just in case someone can't shut up, that wouldn't be good."
Jiang Baozhu looked at her second sister-in-law, whose face was flushed with anger, and suppressed a laugh: "Okay, I'll go get it right away. Sister-in-law, please come inside and sit down. The dishes I cooked today are delicious."
Wen Yao hummed in agreement: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Baozhu."
"It's not hard for you, Enen."
The family sat around the table, and Zhang Shuhua urged, "Eat the food while it's hot and see how it tastes."
"By the way, second brother's wife, you said you needed to talk to the eldest brother's wife about something, why don't you say so now? It's good for family members to speak frankly."
Wang Zhaodi glanced at her husband and coughed lightly, "Alright, I came to see you about something, sister-in-law. I mainly want to get some medicine, not for myself, but for Zhiqiang."
Jiang Zhiqiang looked at his wife blankly. Was it for his sake? Didn't she say she should come back to see her family more often? Otherwise, if they didn't see each other for a long time, their relationship would fade. What did that have to do with him?
"For me?"
"Ahem, yes, it's all because of you. Didn't you say before that the director's daughter was scalded by boiling water a while ago, and her face, neck and body were all messed up? The director was so worried about her."
"Yes, that's true. The director has a very bad temper because of this. He gets yelled at for even the slightest mistake at work."
Wang Zhaodi's eyes darted around, and she said earnestly, "That's right! If you had an ointment that could cure his daughter, wouldn't it be easy to ask the front desk of the building to do him a favor?"
"Who wouldn't want to work in an office building? It's respectable, and the salary is more than ten yuan higher than what you get at the supply and marketing cooperative. That's a lot of money; if you're careful, it's enough to feed and support your whole family."
Jiang Zhiqiang was still a little confused: "Wife, what does this have to do with the family? The director's daughter was burned, and I'm not a doctor, what can I do?"
Wang Zhaodi glanced at the person opposite her, her eyes filled with anticipation: "Sister-in-law, don't keep it a secret anymore. It's all over the place. People are saying that you're a good doctor and that your medicine is better than what's sold outside."
"Look, we're all family. Can you help us out? If Zhiqiang can get a job in the building, our family will have an easier time. Let us know in advance if there's anything good happening in the future."
"We can buy good stuff at cheap prices at the building, don't you think? You can definitely help us with this."
Wen Yao understood. This person wanted to use her ointment to do a favor for free. If it failed, she, as the sister-in-law, should accept it. If it succeeded, the couple would enjoy a good life, and she might be able to get insider information about cheap things in the future.
He couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, then gave his sister-in-law a deep look: "I don't quite understand what you mean, sister-in-law. You said that girl's burns were severe, so there's also the issue of infection that needs to be addressed."
"We don't even know if she's out of danger yet. It's not a burn problem anymore, it's an infection problem. If she's not out of danger and not in the healing period, then you should use the ointment I gave her."
"If the allergy worsens and the infection becomes more severe, and the little girl can't withstand it and her life is in danger, do you think we can bear the consequences?"
"It's possible that my brother-in-law might lose his job."
The captain's expression turned serious upon hearing this: "Second brother, tell me what exactly happened. Do you know how badly that girl was injured? It's not wrong to want to curry favor with the leader."
"I'm not that stubborn, but you have to understand, there are some things you'd rather not do and not take the favor for than do something wrong and cause someone's death, because that could mean losing your job and having to go through rehabilitation."
"Your health isn't good to begin with, but you're doing an easy job at the supply and marketing cooperative, earning enough to support your family. We can help you out a bit more, but don't be careless."
Wang Zhaodi felt embarrassed and was somewhat unhappy: "Father, I'm doing this for Zhiqiang's own good. Such a big favor is right in front of us. As long as that girl gets better with the medicine..."
"It'll be easy for Zhiqiang to get promoted in the building. When our family is better off, we'll be more filial to you. Don't you want to see him succeed?"
"So what if you're physically weak? It won't stop you from going to the building."
