CHAPTER 78: CHAPTER 75: SEEKING OUTSIDE HELP

"Big Brother, there’s something I’ve never told you. Do you know who the father of Liu Yinghe’s baby is? It’s Jiang Beihua."

"Bang!" Jiang Mingyue only knew that the back seat of the bicycle suddenly felt lighter, and simultaneously, dust rose at a certain spot on the road.

When she turned around, she saw her big brother sitting on the ground looking embarrassed, like the grass mound at home.

Jiang Mingyue: "..." Silly! Both angry and amused.

Jiang Mingyue hurriedly got off the bike to help, "Oh my! Big Brother, are you okay? Where did you fall? Does it hurt?"

But Jiang Jian Country didn’t feel embarrassed or hurt. He grabbed Jiang Mingyue’s hand and asked, "Yueyue, is what you said true?"

"Of course it’s true. Would your sister harm you?"

The rest of the way, Big Brother became silent, and the only thing he said was, "Yueyue, how about I take you there?"

Jiang Mingyue: "Can you ride?"

He can’t ride!

After that, there was no sound from behind, and Jiang Mingyue didn’t want to talk. Her strength was enough to carry a big man, but talking while facing the wind made her mouth uncomfortable, so it’s better not to talk.

This entry into the city was sudden, Jiang Mingyue was not prepared, but she came up with a plan on the road.

She remembered the original owner’s second sister-in-law, Zhu Xiangxiang, who was at the Nanxi City Hospital. Jiang Beihua is in the city, and perhaps Liu Yinghe had a check-up at the hospital. This is her only clue at the moment.

Ah, the Nanxi City Hospital, a place the original owner was very familiar with.

When she was young, she often went there to deliver lunch to Xu Ya. The grasses and trees here seem to be engraved in her mind.

However, the past hospital visits felt intimate, while the present ones carry an inexplicable rejection.

"Yueyue, why are we at the hospital?"

The silly big brother was silent all the way, his state was still not good after getting off the car, but it was clear his thoughts had shifted. She guessed the words "Jiang Beihua" had triggered his nerves.

If the child’s father is really Jiang Beihua, then Liu Yinghe saying she was bullied would be disproved. It’s not hard to guess they’ve teamed up to con him!

Jiang Mingyue ignored him. As long as he’s willing to follow her to find the evidence, that’s enough! Just wait to see the evidence with your own eyes.

Familiar with the way, she walked to the left to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department. Passing by Xu Ya’s office door, she remembered Xu Ya was also a doctor here. She glanced at the tightly shut door, feeling relieved, not wanting to meet! She had no desire to see this woman!

Zhu Xiangxiang is a nurse in Xu Ya’s department. The original owner’s second brother Jiang Shuangyi is a general surgery doctor. The three of them work at this hospital, with the second brother and second sister-in-law meeting and getting married here.

At the nurse’s station, there were two nurses. They seemed new, with no sign of Zhu Xiangxiang. Jiang Mingyue asked politely.

The tall nurse had a cold expression, "What do you want with Nurse Zhu? Who are you to her?"

Jiang Mingyue laughed, "Sister, I’m Xiangxiang’s friend."

The tall nurse remained cold, "Wait, I’ll call her."

The shorter nurse with a round face and some baby fat explained with a smile, "Don’t mind her, Lingling’s personality is like that. She’s the same to everyone. The director has mentioned this to her many times."

Jiang Mingyue thought she could see it, a person with a cold exterior but a warm heart.

Jiang Mingyue glanced at the round-faced nurse’s name tag, smiling, "It’s okay, thank you Ms. Yang for telling me this."

One was named Ding Ling, the other Yang Yuanyuan.

Soon, Ding Ling returned with a nurse following behind who showed little emotion but wasn’t cold either. According to the original’s memory, this was Second Sister-in-law Zhu Xiangxiang.

Zhu Xiangxiang saw Jiang Mingyue outside the nurse’s station, visibly stunned, then joyfully came over.

"Mingyue? Is it really you? How are you doing? Let’s talk over there."

She pulled her to the outdoor courtyard under a pomegranate tree in bloom.

In memory, all the pomegranates on this tree were taken by the original owner.

"Thank you for leaving a trail for me, letting me know the truth. And, I’m sorry! Yueyue, it was thoughtless of me to believe Zhou Ye was good."

How is she supposed to respond to that?

"Yueyue, has the past while been tough?" Zhu Xiangxiang pulled Jiang Mingyue for a closer look, feeling increasingly heartbroken. Although her clothes were fine, she wore Liberation shoes, which compared to before in the city was a downgrade, but...

"Why do I see your spirit is better than before? And your skin looks whiter?" Zhu Xiangxiang couldn’t figure it out. Normally, going to the countryside would make one like Jiang Zhenzhu, appearing dark despite applying powder.

Seeing Zhu Xiangxiang drifting off-topic, Jiang Mingyue straightforwardly stated her purpose.

After understanding Jiang Mingyue’s intention, Zhu Xiangxiang was astonished but didn’t ask much, quickly dashing back to the nurse’s station.

"Wait here."

Jiang Jian Country, who had been a transparent person all the while, breathed a sigh of relief, plopping down on a bench in the courtyard.

"Yueyue, is that your city second sister-in-law? Was she good to you before?"

"Yes."

"I don’t see you guys close?"

Jiang Mingyue glanced at him like he was an idiot, "You want me to be close with her?"

Jiang Jian Country quickly denied, "Of course not, I’m your real big brother."

Jiang Mingyue looked at this silly big guy, seemingly in a much better state. Hopefully, he won’t cry when the evidence is in front of him.

For some reason, she couldn’t bear to see this silly big guy whining tearfully.

The siblings sat side by side on the bench, having casual chats, and the time passed quickly. When Zhu Xiangxiang appeared in front of them again, both siblings watched her with bated breath.

Zhu Xiangxiang looked at the two similar foreheads and eyebrows, smilingly asked, "Is that your brother?"

"Yes, my big brother Jiang Jian Country."

"Hello, I’m her city second sister-in-law Zhu Xiangxiang." Zhu Xiangxiang looked around seeing no one, then took out a folded note from her pocket and handed it to Jiang Mingyue.

"There really is such a person, Liu Yinghe from Lotus Village, 20 years old, came for a check-up last month, the result was pregnancy."

"How long has she been pregnant?"

"Our equipment isn’t that advanced. To know the months, she’d need to give birth, and relies on an experienced old doctor’s judgment, but it’s not 100% accurate. Do you know her?"

"Yes." Jiang Mingyue wasn’t prepared to say more.

"Okay then, thank you Second Sister-in-law for today."

Inwardly, Zhu Xiangxiang sighed. Mingyue indeed became distant from her, but if she were misunderstood for so long, likely she wouldn’t be warm either.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xiangxiang felt somewhat sad.

"Wait, Mingyue..." Zhu Xiangxiang suddenly grabbed Jiang Mingyue and then stuffed the money tickets she had just scraped from her bag into Jiang Mingyue’s hands.

"You still call me Second Sister-in-law at any rate, I know rural life is tough, take these, don’t refuse."

She really wanted to refuse! Jiang Mingyue isn’t short of money, and besides, she didn’t want any ties with Xu Ya and her people. If it weren’t for her big brother, she wouldn’t have come.

Jiang Mingyue pushed them back, "No, Second Sister-in-law, my family can still get by, but I appreciate your thought. I’m leaving."

No plans to meet again, no arrangements for future encounters, the figure walked farther and farther away.

Zhu Xiangxiang felt very uncomfortable. Actually, the little sister-in-law was just a bit spoiled, with a good heart, unlike the current one, who truly is a white lotus flower, sweet-tongued and deceitful, yet the mother-in-law only listens to her.

Suddenly, a low magnetic voice came from behind.

"What’s up? Who was that just now?"
