Chapter 26: Minimally Invasive Surgery

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After a long time, Zhao Jinli finally understood that her mother-in-law had gone to the city with Chen Ji for treatment early in the morning. Didn’t her mother-in-law always hate to part with their money?

Zhao Jinli was puzzled. Last night, Chen Ji spent the night with his mother-in-law in the small house. They didn’t say anything and quickly turned off the lights to sleep. In the end, his mother-in-law, who was still raging yesterday afternoon, left with Chen Ji this morning. It was really strange.

Looking at the two tire marks on the ground, Zhao Jinli’s mood fell to rock bottom. If her mother-in-law cured her eyes, wouldn’t that mean… She shook her head, not daring to continue thinking.

She didn’t take a closer look last night. Chu Wei realized that the big bag that Chen Ji brought back looked like a mini mobile supply shop. There was everything inside—perfume, eyebrow pencil, hairdryer, and a few unopened cassettes. They were all pop songs. One of them was an album by Yu Ying, the queen of sweet songs. That “Amorous Smile” was still a new song. Yesterday, when she went to buy bedding, she passed by a deli and saw this song in the store.

Looking at the few tapes, Chu Wei thought of Chen Ji and her mother-in-law again. She wondered if they went to see a doctor today and if everything went smoothly. Was her mother-in-law’s illness serious? Could it be treated?

Fortunately, they had gone in the car and should be back soon. In order to know the results as soon as possible, she did not go anywhere today and waited at home with the children.

…

Soon after, the day passed and the sun was setting.

On the main road of Peach Blossom Town, Zhao Jinli stood by the side of the road. Unlike Chu Wei who waited quietly, she seemed to have lost her soul the entire day.

A few minutes later, a black car appeared on the road. Zhao Jinli was so nervous that she almost stopped breathing. Her heart was beating wildly. A young man in military uniform drove over. He was sent by Chen Ji to deliver a message.

Zhao Jinli ran over and asked, “Little comrade, how’s my mother-in-law’s condition? Can she be treated?”

The young man rolled down the car window. It was the energetic young man who had passed by Chu Wei yesterday. Without Chen Ji’s introduction, the young man did not know who Zhao Jinli was. When he heard her asking about this, he immediately regarded her as Chen Ji’s wife and quickly saluted. “Sister-in-law, I’ve brought Auntie Chen for a checkup. The doctor said that Auntie’s blindness is due to her optic nerves being blocked. It seems to be caused by a thrombosis in her head.”

Zhao Jinli asked again, “Can it be treated?”

The young man smiled and said, “The doctor said that it’s just a small block. If we use the most advanced minimally invasive surgery, it can be cured. However, we need to bring auntie to the capital. Only the big hospitals there can do minimally invasive surgery, so he asked me to come back and tell you to pack your things and prepare to go to the capital at any time.”

Zhao Jinli’s heart skipped a beat. Her mother-in-law’s eyes were indeed curable, and she had gone straight to the capital for treatment. When she thought about her mother-in-law’s fierce aura before she lost her sight, her blood pressure immediately soared, and her eyes turned black. She clutched her chest with a pained and flustered expression.

Chu Wei ran over and heaved a sigh of relief when she found out that her mother-in-law could cure her. The weight in her heart was finally lifted. She chatted with the young man for a while more before turning around and preparing to go home to pack her things. Just as she turned around, she saw Zhao Jinli holding her chest and walking around like a headless fly. When she saw her, she didn’t say anything and ran towards the Ding Family’s wine shop.

Chu Wei was confused and did not know what was wrong with her sister-in-law. Looking at how anxious she was, she probably did not want her mother-in-law to go to the capital to treat her illness. However, this made Chu Wei even more bewildered.

All these years, life had been smooth-sailing for Chen Hu’s family, and they had been living in peace. The credit of her mother-in-law could not go unnoticed. When her eyes were cured, her mother-in-law would still be able to work like before. Hence, Zhao Jinli should be happy. Why was she so anxious?

The more she thought about it, the weirder she felt. Her eldest brother’s alcohol tolerance was low. Apart from the holidays, he basically did not drink. However, why did her eldest sister-in-law go to the Ding Family’s wine shop? Could there be some shady business going on?

She wasn’t afraid that her sister-in-law would say anything to others because her mother-in-law was taken away by Chen Ji. No matter what she said, it was useless. No one dared to say anything either. She was just curious.

After taking a few steps home, Chu Wei still turned around and headed towards the Ding family’s wine shop. It wasn’t that she had nothing to do, but she was really too curious and wanted to see what her sister-in-law was up to.

Just as she approached the entrance of the Ding Family’s wine shop, Zhao Jinli’s anxious voice could be heard. “Auntie Ding, you said that you liked my jade pendant last time, so I brought it here today. Do you still want it?”

Mrs. Ding smiled. “I offered 600 dollars the other day, but you didn’t sell. What tune are you singing today?”

“Auntie Ding, don’t say anything else. I can’t wear this jade pendant. Since you like it, why don’t I do you a favor and sell it to you?” Zhao Jinli smiled.

Looking at the jade pendant, Auntie Ding shook her head. “This jade pendant of yours was quite rare a few days ago, but now…”

Zhao Jinli’s breath caught in her throat as she listened carefully. She knew that it was time for Auntie Ding to pay attention, and she panicked.. “I’ll sell it if you give me money! I can’t keep this jade pendant anymore!”
