Chapter 151 1 Family
After bottling up his anger for several days, Ye Xiaosheng finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
After He Zhang went to Jiang Xinyu's place again, he also had a wheelchair brought and pushed him there.
He wanted to see what those two were up to.
Who knows if all the servants in the mansion betrayed them, which is why the adoptive father didn't know the two had such a close relationship.
Ye Xiao was somewhat deceiving himself.
Many of the supervisors are veterans who have followed Xiao Yuan for over ten years. How could they possibly be won over by Jiang Xinyu, a wife who has only been married for half a year?
He was just making excuses for his impatience.
Jiang Xinyu and He Zhang were not unaware of the need to avoid suspicion, although they knew that some of their conversations were inconvenient for the maid to know and that they should send her away.
But the two would deliberately leave the door open and sometimes even talk directly in the yard.
Ye Xiao sneaked over, intending to take a quick look and leave, but the courtyard gate was wide open, and He Zhang spotted him as soon as he peeked out.
The little tabby cat immediately bristled and urged the maid to push him away quickly.
But now that he's here, how could He Zhang let him go so easily? He smiled and chased after him, supporting the wheelchair and pushing him directly into the courtyard, ignoring his exasperation.
He knew Xiao Ye wouldn't be able to hold back any longer.
This is just in time. I can apologize to the lady and shake hands to make peace, so that the Grand Eunuch won't be worried about going to the disaster relief site.
Jiang Xinyu watched this scene with her arms crossed and a mischievous grin on her face. She was tired from studying important matters, so playing with the kittens would be a good way to relax.
Although Ye Xiao is a year older than her physically, she has no problem being his mother in terms of mental age.
If Ye Xiao is still madly infatuated with Xu Qinglan and willing to fight for her, Jiang Xinyu will naturally be wary of this kid.
But now Ye Xiao has come to her senses. After all, he is her husband's adopted son, and she doesn't need to fight him to the death.
Because of her psychological age, Jiang Xinyu can naturally put herself in the role of an elder.
But for Ye Xiao, it was really embarrassing to call a woman younger than himself his godmother.
But that bastard He Zhang pushed him into this situation, and if he didn't tell his godfather, he would definitely be unhappy.
Ye Xiao regretted it; he shouldn't have made this trip.
Ye Xiao, feeling anxious, angry, and frustrated, blushed deeply and mumbled for a long time before finally managing to call out "Mom-in-law" in a barely audible voice.
Jiang Xinyu exaggeratedly picked at her ears, "What was that sound? Did someone just speak?"
"He Zhang, did you hear that?"
"Hey, you woman, don't go too far. I've already lowered my head, what more do you want?"
As expected, Ye Xiao got angry again, baring his teeth and brandishing his claws as if someone had stepped on his tail.
He Zhang covered his face in exasperation.
Is it possible that Xiao Ye and his wife are incompatible according to their birth charts? He understands the道理 (principles/reasons), so why can't he control his temper?
Jiang Xinyu cracked her knuckles as she moved them, "What did you say, you little bastard?"
"Your skin's itchy again, isn't it!"
Ye Xiao instinctively grabbed He Zhang's hand.
Didn't you say you liked him? Why don't you stop him? Are you just going to watch him get beaten up?
But He Zhang didn't speak up for him or take him away. As Jiang Xinyu's hand reached out to him, Ye Xiao closed his eyes in despair.
Everyone's on that woman's side; I can't live like this anymore.
The expected pain did not come; Jiang Xinyu simply flicked his forehead.
“I won’t take advantage of someone’s misfortune to beat up a cripple. It’s the father’s fault for not raising his child properly. I’ll beat up your godfather later.”
"you dare!"
"See if I dare!"
Jiang Xinyu could be infuriating too, she said smugly, fiddling with the bracelet on her wrist.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, you're just a nominal son-in-law who hasn't had a wedding banquet or been registered in the family genealogy, while I'm Xiao Yuan's lawfully wedded wife."
If you don't want to acknowledge me, I don't want to acknowledge you either!
"I'll let Xiao Yuan pick a few good children to adopt later; who would want you?"
Ye Xiao was so angry that her eyes turned red, and she stubbornly refused to admit defeat.
“I was raised by my godfather since I was a child, so it’s impossible for him to abandon me.”
Don't think you can act like a tyrant just because your godfather dotes on you. I'll find him a few beautiful women and have him replace you.
"Haha, it's one thing for others to say that, but how could you have the nerve to say it?"
Jiang Xinyu could hardly contain her laughter. "With your taste, what good can you possibly choose? Do you even know what 'good-looking' means?"
To have a great beauty like He Zhang but not be interested in a naive girl like Xu Qinglan, it's no exaggeration to say you're blind.
Don't try to pimp out Xiao Yuan; I'm afraid the beautiful woman you chose will scare him away.
"Who says I have no aesthetic sense? A pretty face is just a facade; I look at the inner qualities."
Hahaha.
Jiang Xinyu laughed even harder, "Are you sure?"
In the past, Ye Xiao would have been confident, but after learning that Xu Qinglan was not as kind as he had imagined, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
He admitted that he had indeed misjudged Jiang Xinyu, but that did not mean that Jiang Xinyu was worthy of his godfather.
In his heart, his godmother should be as gentle, quiet, kind, and benevolent as Xu Qinglan had shown before, definitely not a crazy woman like her.
The kitten snorted and turned its head away, ignoring everyone. He Zhang rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.
If the lady were a few years older, Xiao Ye probably wouldn't be so resistant. But now, it's really difficult to deal with two people with such bad tempers.
He was already quite grateful that his wife hadn't given Xiao Ye a beating.
Jiang Xinyu was too lazy to argue with a little kid and invited He Zhang to continue their previous topic, which was now about distilled water extraction.
The collected penicillin powder must be diluted with distilled water before it can be injected into the body.
If you use a steamer to collect distilled water directly, it won't be fast enough, so you'll need a distillation apparatus to ensure the cleanliness and supply of the water.
Then there are syringes.
Jiang Xinyu had jade carvings and wooden items, but neither of them were ideal choices, as one was fragile and the other was prone to mold and contamination.
She had already drawn up the blueprints and sent them over to the Qian family's glass factory, but the craftsmen had never made something like this before, so it was hard to say what the finished product would be like.
He Zhang suggested forging it with silver and copper, which would make it easier to sterilize in boiling water and less prone to breakage.
As for the scale issue, an inlay technique can be used to inlay transparent glass or crystal onto it.
This is the most likely method to be realized so far, but it is still uncertain whether the injection needle will be integrated or replaceable.
Jiang Xinyu naturally preferred replaceable needles. Even if they couldn't be used all at once, they still needed to be disinfected after each use. She wouldn't feel at ease unless they were boiled for at least ten minutes.
He Zhang, however, felt it was a bit too pretentious.
Doctors usually just soak the acupuncture needle in alcohol, apply it, and then continue using it. He was an ancient person who didn't know about AIDS and had no concept of blood transmission.
Once the two got down to business, they forgot about Ye Xiao. Sometimes, He Zhang even forgot about hierarchy and argued his case relentlessly.
At first, Ye Xiao was sulking, but he unconsciously became engrossed in what the two were talking about.
Now he realizes that he was just being bored and overthinking things.
They were talking about serious matters, even major issues that could change people's lives.
If that coal stove, syringe, and penicillin were really as good as that woman said, his godfather's disaster relief efforts would be much easier.
He truly hadn't expected that such a young girl would know how to build dikes to control sand and divert water.
No wonder He Zhang always spoke of her with such admiration; he admitted that this woman was not as vulgar as she appeared.
The two not only discussed things but also occasionally conducted experiments. Jiang Xinyu finally understood how to use the hidden and visible guards left behind by Xiao Yuan.
In the middle of the conversation, he suddenly got a little flustered and shouted that someone should bring over something.
Fortunately, the second steward has prepared almost all the materials that can be found on the market in the past two days.
With pieces of sheet metal on the left and copper coins on the right, I wonder what the lady is busy with.
Ye Xiao is also someone who is stubborn on the outside but soft on the inside.
He was skilled at darts and had great strength. He looked at the little gadgets that Jiang Xinyu couldn't handle and, despite his disdain, he unconsciously took them from her.
Without realizing it, the three of them became more and more harmonious.
Xiao Yuan came home a little earlier today. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his wife, son, and daughter-in-law happily busy together.
The Grand Eunuch, who had just stepped inside, stepped back out and looked up at the sun.
It must have risen from the east, right?
