Chapter 373: Chapter 373: Men Are Big Pig Hooves
Xu Ancheng drove directly to Harmony Hospital, helped register, used Mu Guixian’s connections to arrange hospitalization directly, and then began detailed examinations.
"I’m really so grateful to you all today." Tang Guoqing didn’t know what to say, and could only continuously express his gratitude. If it weren’t for Xu Ancheng and Yi Roujing, they wouldn’t know any doctors, and would’ve had to wait in line, most likely not able to get admitted today.
"It’s nothing, Sister Cuizhu is the oldest among us and has taken good care of us." Yi Roujing said, "Now that Mrs. Tang is taking care of Xiaocao, how about we take you to Jing University to find Sister Cuizhu?"
Tang Guoqing was very embarrassed but still thick-skinned enough to agree and sat in the car to Jing University.
Yi Roujing went directly to the dormitory, and her roommates were startled by her sudden appearance, especially since it was a rest day.
"Roujing, why are you here now?" Gong Jue’e asked directly.
"I’m here to find Sister Cuizhu." Yi Roujing replied.
"Looking for me?" Yu Cuiyu was a bit surprised, but immediately went out with Yi Roujing.
"Roujing, has something happened?" Yu Cuiyu asked with concern.
"Sister Cuizhu, I went to the train station today to see my mom and them off, and then I ran into your family. Your mother-in-law and husband brought Xiaocao to Jing City, and they’re now at Harmony Hospital for Xiaocao’s check-up."
"What’s wrong with Xiaocao!" Yu Cuiyu’s pupils trembled, her face suddenly filled with panic. As a mother, no matter how calm she usually was, she was thrown into chaos when it came to her child.
"Sister Cuizhu, don’t worry, Brother Tang is downstairs, let’s talk while we walk." Yi Roujing advised.
Yu Cuiyu hastened her pace, and when she went downstairs and saw Tang Guoqing not far away, she quickly rushed over, "What happened, what’s wrong with Xiaocao?"
Tang Guoqing lightly patted Yu Cuiyu’s back, "Don’t worry, don’t worry, we’re going to the hospital now. Our local doctors said it was serious, but the doctors at Harmony Hospital said rest would make him better."
"We really owe thanks to your classmates and her husband today. Xiaocao has now been admitted to the hospital."
Upon hearing this, Yu Cuiyu calmed down a lot and, looking at Yi Roujing and Xu Ancheng, was full of gratitude, "Mr. Xu, Roujing, truly, thank you so much."
"Sister Cuizhu, let’s go to the hospital first. We’re all from the same dorm; no need to be so formal, especially when it’s about children." Yi Roujing comforted.
After dropping off Tang Guoqing and Yu Cuiyu at the hospital, Yi Roujing and the others returned home.
"The milk powder sent home before, the milk powder coupons were all provided by Roujing. She knows about Xiaocao’s situation, being a mom herself." Yu Cuiyu’s eyes turned red, but she didn’t say much more, just kept it in her heart, then followed Tang Guoqing to the ward.
"Mom, I’m hungry." Baozi had been obedient the entire time and, now that it was just family, spoke up.
Yi Roujing felt a bit of pity hearing this, "Let’s go home and eat now."
Xu Ancheng also pressed the accelerator, speeding up on the less busy roads, and when the three of them reached Beiluo Lane, Li Hongying had already prepared lunch.
"Why did you take so long? Did the in-laws get on the train smoothly?" Li Hongying asked.
"They did get on. We met someone we knew and helped them a bit." Yi Roujing explained.
"Grandma, I’m hungry." Baozi looked at Li Hongying and said in a childish voice.
"Oh, my dear, grandma will dish up for you now. I made your favorite braised ribs and fish balls today, you must eat plenty." Li Hongying picked up Baozi and headed to the main house.
"I love the food Grandma makes the most." Baozi didn’t forget to flatter.
"As long as you like it, Grandma will make it for you anytime." Li Hongying smiled beamingly.
"Brother——" Mantou heard the commotion and ran out of the main house. Baozi struggled a bit upon seeing him, and Li Hongying laughed as she put him down.
"Little brother, let’s go eat together." Baozi took Mantou’s hand and went inside.
"Only Baozi can handle this little rascal." Ding Anmin came out laughing, linking arms with Yi Roujing, "Sister-in-law, we haven’t seen each other in ages, I’ve missed you to death."
Yi Roujing raised an eyebrow, "Look at you fawning like this, is there something you want to tell me?"
Ding Anmin covered her mouth and chuckled heartily, "It’s just that Huang Xiaobao received some good things sent by Sister-in-law and I felt I had to come and thank you personally."
As she spoke, Ding Anmin leaned in and whispered so only Yi Roujing could hear, "I heard Sister-in-law gave a thorough lesson to that girl in the Qing University Management Department who had eyes on Second Brother."
Yi Roujing was somewhat amused by this, "I just told it like it is, it can hardly be called a lesson."
"Hmph." Ding Anmin snorted softly, "Men are all the same, ignoring when someone’s interested in them until it’s too obvious. Huang Xiaobao is his buddy, same department even if different classes, should’ve known. Then relaying brotherly tales to me when Sister-in-law had already acted."
"But it’s all settled now, no one’s interested." Ding Anmin grinned widely, "It had to be you, Sister-in-law, to handle things rightly, you’re worth two men."
"I’ll take that as a compliment." Yi Roujing gave Ding Anmin a playful side-eye.
"Of course it is, truly heartfelt this time." Ding Anmin led her inside, "I brought some tasty treats for you."
Ding Anmin took out a basket of strawberries, "Hehe, knowing you love them, I already washed these."
"Good of you." Yi Roujing eagerly picked one up and ate it.
"A local girl from my dorm, her family grows them in the Jing Suburb, and she gave me a student price. Let me know if you want more." Ding Anmin herself enjoyed them, popping one in her mouth.
At the table over there, another plate of strawberries was already pushed to Baozi by Mantou, "Brother, eat, aren’t they sweet? I’ve already tested them for you."
Baozi raised an eyebrow and picked one up to eat.
"My rascal won’t share his food even with me, but he truly loves Baozi." Ding Anmin clicked her tongue and shook her head, "I wonder if he’ll treat little girls kindly when he goes to kindergarten, otherwise, it might be hard to find a wife."
"What nonsense, hurry up and serve the food." Li Hongying stepped into the main house, hearing her daughter’s silly talk, and gave her a look.
In the afternoon, back in Baiqian Village, Xu Ancheng put the already sleeping Baozi in bed, then pulled Yi Roujing to their room and began undressing her without a word.
"What are you doing!" Yi Roujing pinched him playfully, "It’s broad daylight."
"What are you thinking?" Xu Ancheng chuckled.
Seeing Xu Ancheng just taking off her outer clothes and looking at her right shoulder, Yi Roujing realized he just wanted to check if she was injured, really, a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, "It’s nothing, it wasn’t very strong."
"Let me rub it for you." Xu Ancheng tenderly massaged her, making Yi Roujing relax at once—only a fool wouldn’t enjoy such kindness.
As he rubbed, Yi Roujing occasionally let out warm hums that made him restless, earning her a teasing look as she cast him a sultry glance, fueling more impulsive daytime antics.
