——————
Don’t mention Fan Jiefang being shocked; in fact, Xie Tiesheng’s feelings were also quite profound.
When Li Jianfeng and his party came earlier, all the thanking for Third Son’s Wife, he was actually reserved in his opinion, thinking that Li Jianfeng and the others were just flattering her.
When it actually came to saving someone, it would definitely have to be Third Son who did it.
Who knew, just now seeing Zhang Shanni effortlessly lift up her spouse, he immediately believed what Li Jianfeng and the others had said!
Country folks, compared to city dwellers, even if they don’t look physically strong, due to constant exercise over the years, their bodies are truly robust and hefty, not just with a strong burst of muscle, but even their bones are much denser than average people’s~
Back in those days, he had also lifted his spouse, who wasn’t considered short or small. That’s to say, the people in Old Xie’s Family, none were short or small. His spouse back then was a good one meter sixty-three, not looking fat, but indeed not light. He himself was one meter seventy-seven, and their children all took after them, none of them short [by the average height of the time, these numbers were really considered tall].
And Third Son was a sort of genetic outlier, the most perseverant among all the siblings and the tallest, nearly ten centimeters taller than the youngest and tallest, Fifth!
Therefore, on hearing that it was Zhang Shanni who saved the person, Xie Tiesheng naturally assumed in his heart that it had to be the merit of his own Third Son.
He hadn’t expected at all that what Li and Chen Families had said was all true. And the reason the credit was attributed to Zhang Shanni was ultimately because Zhang Shanni’s germaphobia acted up, she couldn’t stand seeing her own husband holding another woman.
Even if it was a pregnant woman in a critical condition, it wouldn’t do!
A husband should be disciplined by his own family, and she wasn’t incapable of lifting a person herself, there was no reason to let her goodwill in saving someone end up causing her psychological distress, that would be a loss not worth the gain~~
Speaking of which, Fan Jiefang, leading Zhang Shanni and the other three, hurriedly rushed to the hospital, scurrying up and down in the hospital in a flurry, and finally managed to settle all the procedures within an hour. This was also because the staff saw Fan Jiefang dressed in Wurong Team’s official uniform, gave him a convenience, and thus the efficiency was achieved!
In this aspect, no matter how times change, people who eat public grain always have some privileges.
Zhang Shanni summarized the attending doctor’s diagnosis and concluded that Zhou Xiuhua’s condition, just as she had suspected, was coronary artery occlusion causing chest tightness, shortness of breath, and angina.
Furthermore, there were some common diseases among ordinary rural elders, all from wearing out the body through labor, such as back pain, shoulder periarthritis, and rheumatic bone ache.
The doctor didn’t prescribe any Chinese medicine, only some western medicine, and since the medicines were expensive, seeing that those who came were not dressed like the wealthy, he prescribed some that were more for symptom relief than for a cure.
Fan Jiefang’s character was something Xie Jingchen had seen and deeply approved of, which is why he staunchly supported his second sister’s romance with him. It was because Xie Jingchen always had accurate judgment, therefore, back then, despite Fan Jiefang’s less than ideal circumstances, both Zhou Xiuhua and Xie Tiesheng nodded in agreement for them to start dating.
Starting to date, for real, Fan Jiefang had yet to show his dedication; Xie Jinghong, on the other hand, was wholeheartedly devoted to Fan Jiefang.
Later on, whether Xie Tiesheng and Zhou Xiuhua were satisfied or not didn’t matter; their eldest daughter insisted on marrying him, so she married him. On the side, Fan Jiefang repeatedly pleaded to treat Da Niu well, Xie Jingchen also nodded, thus they could only follow Xie Jinghong’s wish.
This might be a fundamental conflict with the way of thinking of the new generation. Even though the Xie Family agreed, they still fundamentally disagreed with how the Fan Family handled their internal affairs.
The point of contention, for the older generation, when choosing a daughter-in-law or son-in-law, was to first look at the family background of the other person, how neighbors viewed that family, and then consider the family’s upbringing and education. After comparing these comprehensive factors, the actual individuals involved weren’t the focal point, but rather the focus was on their parents.
For the younger generation, they value ’free love’, with the state even supporting the people’s freedom to marry and love, which makes the children of this generation often have a rebellious streak against their parents. The more the parents like someone, the more the child tends to be averse to them.
The younger generation has a different starting point from the older generation in terms of judging people, hence the results are naturally very different. The younger generation’s first consideration is whether ’he/she’ is their type; only then will they rationally consider the differences between their family backgrounds.
To be honest, there’s nothing wrong with this thinking. After all, since you have to spend a lifetime together, you should prioritize who you like, right? Only then can two people live well together for a lifetime.
However, ’infatuation’ can often cloud one’s judgment, and once passionate, who cares whether the two families can get along well or not? Over time, each other’s flaws will emerge and be magnified, leading to severe conflicts between two vastly different family backgrounds, and in the end, the victims are always just the women and children.
