Chapter 134: A Happy Event
The next day, Su Li paid attention.
Seeing that Huan Ge'er was still swallowing meat like poison, he quickly patted his back and said, "Son, you don't have to eat if you don't want to. Don't force yourself."
"Mom, I can do it!"
Huan Ge'er's face looked uglier than if he was constipated.
Su Li knew that he felt sad to see Su Zhe injured and wanted to become stronger quickly.
But she felt sorry for her son.
She decided to have a good talk with her son.
"Son, you don't have to eat meat to become strong. You can just supplement your protein. Look, I prepared eggs, milk, and nuts for you. Eating these will do the same."
Huan Ge'er looked at the dinner table today and found that it was indeed a little different. There were two boiled eggs in front of him, a glass of milk and a plate of nuts.
"Mother, is it true?"
"Of course, when has mother ever lied to you?"
Huan Ge'er thought for a moment and said:
"Don't worry, mother. I will adapt. Father said that for a man, there is no difficulty that he cannot overcome. I can eat eggs, milk, and nuts, and I will gradually learn to eat meat."
Su Li felt both relieved and sad when she heard this.
However, Huan Ge'er is a child with his own ideas, and no one can change what he has decided.
There was no way, Su Li could only follow him.
He just instructed the kitchen to make some adjustments to Huan Ge'er's diet, adding a milk breakfast and two eggs in the morning and evening, and also asked someone to prepare nuts for Shi Tou to carry with him.
He boiled the medicine and personally delivered it to Su Zhe. On the way, he heard the servants report that Xu Jing had arrived.
It was the first time for Xu Jing to step into the general's mansion.
As soon as she entered, she was shocked by the grandeur of the general's mansion. She followed the well-trained servants around for a long time before entering the backyard. Her feet were sore from walking.
But my heart was filled with sourness.
Her maid's eyes were darting around as if she had never seen the world. From her expression, you could tell how envious she was, and at the same time, how much sympathy and pity she felt for her master.
Thinking of this, Xu Jing glared at the maid fiercely.
When she entered the room where Su Zhe was recuperating, she smelled the smell of medicine and felt nauseous. She took the opportunity to cover her mouth and nose and started crying.
"Aunt, why is Azhe like this? Aunt, you must be strong!"
Qin had stopped crying, but now she was moved to tears again. She pinched her handkerchief and tears fell down her face.
Xu Jing saw that Su Zhe's upper body was wrapped in gauze, and he was lying unconscious on the bed. Thinking of Su Zhe's usual teasing towards her, she couldn't help but feel comfortable.
"Aunt, did the doctor say when Azhe will wake up?"
Qin shook her head weakly.
Ah Zhe's injuries were too severe. If it were any other doctor, he would have died long ago. So it took the genius of the doctor to keep him alive with medicine.
"Aunt, Azhe is like this now. Shouldn't the family make some preparations?" Xu Jingke wished that Su Zhe would die. She had been bullied a lot since she was a child.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
As soon as Su Li entered the room, she heard Xu Jing talking nonsense, and her face darkened and she started to scold him.
"Azhe will be fine. What are you trying to get Mom to prepare for? Xu Jing, what are you thinking?"
Xu Jing choked and covered her mouth and nose awkwardly. Then she quickly changed her words and said:
"Ali, why are you so anxious? I'm talking about finding a wife for Azhe. As the old saying goes, "rushing happiness to rush in, rushing in happiness"—I was just thinking that maybe rushing in happiness would help. Ali, you misunderstood. Didn't General Pei succeed by rushing in happiness?"
"Shut up!" Su Li quickly walked to the bed, pulled Xu Jing away, and said angrily, "What's the point of bringing good luck? Azhe will wake up in a few days."
Qin was obviously moved by what she said. She pursed her lips and said, "That's what I'm saying. Li'er, should we..."
Su Li grabbed her mother and said:
"Mom, that's all superstition. Mr. Fei said that Azhe will definitely wake up in a few days. You have to trust his medical skills. Don't bother him at this critical moment."
"Ah Li, how can this be called a hassle? Marriages for the sake of prosperity have been around since ancient times, and you and the general are a prime example. Aunt, I think this is a great idea, and we can't delay any longer."
Qin looked at her unconscious son and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this method was feasible. But then she thought again and was stumped. She said:
"But with Ah Zhe in his current state, no girl would be willing to marry him! If it's from a lower-class family, I'm afraid I won't be able to control him!"
Xu Jing said, "Aunt, don't we have a ready-made candidate? I think Miss Song from the Zhenguo family is quite suitable. Ah Zhe risked his life to save Miss Song, so shouldn't Miss Song be willing to marry him?"
"no!"
Su Li knew that Xu Jing was holding back a lot of bad intentions, and when she heard her proposal, she immediately refused.
"Mother, the idea of a wedding for the sake of prosperity is nonsense. You say the general and I are a ready-made example. I'm sorry to say that the general's recovery was entirely thanks to Master Fei. What does a wedding for the sake of prosperity have to do with it? Mother, with Master Fei here, A-Zhe will definitely get better. We must fully trust Master Fei's medical skills."
"It's not that I don't believe in Dr. Fei. It's just that, Li'er, wouldn't it be better to have another way out? I think Jing'er is right! Besides, doesn't A-zhe like Ci'er too?"
"It's true that Azhe likes Song Ci, but he definitely wouldn't be willing to marry her in this way. Mother, if we go to the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion to propose marriage at this time, how will outsiders view Azhe? How will they view our Yong'an Marquis's Mansion? This is moral kidnapping and repaying a favor!"
What's more, Song Ci doesn't like Su Zhe either!
The twisted melon is not sweet!
This will ruin Song Ci's life!
"Aunt, you have to make a decision quickly! A-Zhe can't wait."
"Mom, you can't do this!"
Su Li strongly opposed it.
Qin looked at this and that, covered her mouth and burst into tears.
At this moment, a weak voice suddenly came from outside the door:
"Aunt Qin, I do."
Su Li turned around and saw Song Ci carrying a food box, his eyes red and his face pale. It was unknown how long he had been standing outside the door or how much he had heard.
"Ci'er, this is a matter of your life, don't act on impulse. Azhe will get better, there is no need for you to sacrifice yourself. You don't have to do this!" Su Li stepped forward quickly, trying to comfort Song Ci.
Unexpectedly, Song Ci pursed her lips and burst into tears. She said in a hoarse and weak voice:
"Sister Su, I know you're doing this for my own good. But I, Song Ci, have always been a man of gratitude and resentment. Ah Zhe's life and death are unknown in order to save me. I am willing to marry him to bring him happiness."
"Ci Er! There are thousands of ways to repay your kindness, and you don't need to sacrifice yourself."
"Sister Su, this time I think Xu Jing is right! My life was given by Azhe, and I am willing to repay him with my whole life!"
"Ci'er!"
Before Su Li could say anything else, Qin came forward and hugged Song Ci, crying:
"Good child! Good child! It's worth it that Aunt Qin loved you so much in the past, and it's worth it that Azhe risked his life to protect you. Don't worry, I will never treat you unfairly. I will treat you as my own daughter."
