By the time Zhang Xiaoyan returned to the Siheyuan, the news that Jia Dongxu had suffered a work-related accident and had been sent to the hospital had already spread throughout the Siheyuan.

The third uncle saw Zhang Xiaoyan at the door and asked a few questions.

"I don't know either! It was Doctor Liu who went there at the time, so he doesn't know either."

Zhang Xiaoyan didn't know what was going on, so she couldn't answer the third uncle's questions.

"I thought you were also a doctor and knew what was going on! If you don't know, forget it! Dongxu's mother and his wife have been in the hospital for a long time, and they will probably be back soon."

As the third uncle was talking, he saw Qin Huairu limping in from the gate. He said without thinking:

"Qin Huairu, how is your Dongxu?"

Qin Huairu was thinking about what to do in the future. This afternoon, she was still washing clothes at home, and someone rushed into the yard to tell her this shocking news. From not believing it at first to accepting the reality in the end, Qin Huairu felt dizzy and her world was falling.

It was the second aunt who was standing nearby and washing clothes who quickly caught the man, otherwise who knows what might have happened.

After coming to her senses, Qin Huairu rushed into the room and shouted at her mother-in-law who was still sleeping. After being slapped by her mother-in-law and crying for a long time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law rushed to the hospital. They were greeted by Jia Dongxu, who was covered with a white cloth.

The third uncle regretted the moment he said it. After all, looking at Qin Huairu, whose eyes were swollen from crying and whose face looked as if she had lost all hope in life, what else was there to ask?

"Thank you, Uncle Third, for remembering Dongxu. My Dongxu, he he he, wuwuwu..."

"Don't cry, don't cry! Tell me what difficulties you have, and Uncle Three will help you if he can. Even if I can't help you, there's still Uncle One, and there's still everyone else!"

The third uncle quickly said that it was really not good for a young wife to cry like this in front of an old man like him.

"Yeah, I knew it. I knew I married in the right place. With Uncle San's words, I feel much better. My Dongxu has a miserable life. He had a work-related accident at the factory today and it's too late to be sent to the hospital. I'm back to get something. The hospital asked me to take it to get a certificate."

Qin Huairu cried for a long time and finally finished her words. Zhang Xiaoyan stood beside her for a long time and didn't know what to say. She felt a little embarrassed. It was not right to persuade her, after all, their relationship was not good to begin with.

But Qin Huairu couldn't care less about that now. After saying what she thought she should say, she went home.

"Life will be difficult for the Jia family now."

The third uncle looked at Qin Huairu's back and said with emotion. The third aunt and several other aunts were not far away. They didn't say a word after seeing Qin Huairu enter the gate. Only after they left did they start talking.

Zhang Xiaoyan was not interested in what they said and just left. After all, she knew what these people would say without even thinking about it.

It was nothing more than how Mrs. Jia would treat her daughter-in-law in a cunning way in the future and lock her up at home to raise children, or whether Mrs. Jia would go to the factory to make a scene about this incident and whether the factory would pay compensation.

Since getting married, He Yuzhu's wife Li Mei has adapted more and more to the life in the courtyard. She cleans the room every day, washes clothes for several people, and cooks two meals at most. The evening meal is usually cooked by He Yuzhu. After all, he needs to practice his cooking skills.

It can be said that life is going very smoothly. Of course, because He Yushui specifically said so, Li Mei is basically busy with her own things every day. She doesn't like to chat with those people in the yard. After all, in her opinion, those who always say that they are elders are not worthy of respect, and if she takes her identity seriously, she will easily suffer losses, so she is even more unwilling to pay attention to these people.

"Swallow is back, come in and have a cup of water, I just made it."

Zhang Xiaoyan had just entered the middle courtyard and passed through the middle gate when she heard Li Mei's voice.

"What did Sister Li cook? If it doesn't taste good, I won't come next time!"

Zhang Xiaoyan said jokingly, and walked towards the other person's house very consciously.

"Wouldn't you know if you came in and took a look?"

Li Mei said mysteriously that the two of them had entered the He family before.

"look."

Perhaps because Li Mei married a chef, after watching He Yuzhu practice cooking every day, she also started to like studying how to cook. Sometimes when she got some rare things, she would want to use them to practice.

"Not bad! Where did you get it? If you don't have enough sugar, I have some at home."

Zhang Xiaoyan watched with a smile as Li Mei removed the cover on the bowl. On the table was a large aluminum basin filled with apples cooked in sugar.

"Hey, this thing does use up a lot of sugar, but I don't know why, I've just started to like eating this these past few days. I asked Brother Zhuzi to cook it once before, but he was very busy these past two days, so I just cooked it myself. There are two apples and two tablespoons of sugar in it, it really makes me feel bad."

Li Mei felt a little embarrassed. To be honest, if she was at her mother's house, she wouldn't dare to use sugar like this. She couldn't even cut two apples into pieces and put them in the pot.

Of course, He Yuzhu bought these apples on the black market. As for who sold them, it was naturally the dealers who sold them wholesale through Zhang Changzheng.

In fact, Zhang Xiaoyan likes to eat apples raw rather than cook them into syrup. Of course, she doesn’t like candied apples either, but someone has already scooped out a bowl and placed it to her, so she has to be tactful.

I picked up the bowl and scooped up a small spoonful to take a bite. The crispy and sweet apple has now become soft, but the sweetness is moderate, and the taste is sweet but not greasy.

"Mm, it tastes sweet and not greasy, delicious."

"Really, I think there's not enough sugar, but I just can't bear it, so I'll just drink it like this!"

Li Mei said with a smile, God knows she really felt that the sweetness was a little bland.

I never noticed that this person likes sweets so much! Zhang Xiaoyan looked at him suspiciously. Naturally, she wouldn't be so polite to her own people. She held his hand and began to feel his pulse. The result was the same as she guessed, but the month was too short. She could only see it by doing B-ultrasound. But after thinking about it, she still said it.

"No wonder you have such a strong taste now. You are particularly fond of sweets recently. Your sleep quality is also very good. It's so good that you don't want to get up once you fall asleep."

"Yes, yes! Everyone says you are a good doctor. I thought they were just bragging at first, but you are really amazing. I don't know what's going on, but I've been liking candy a lot lately. Let me tell you! Last night I secretly got up and poured two spoonfuls of sugar into my mouth and chewed it dry. It's true. Don't laugh at me."

Li Mei looked a little embarrassed, but still spoke seriously.
