The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 184: Jiang Yan Leaves Again on a Mission
Hearing Old Master Jiang relent, Jiang Peng knew that this matter was already settled.
Jiang Peng thought for a moment and said, "Dad, if you really want to divorce Mom, then let her come live with me, I’ll bring her home to live together."
Jiang Peng’s words surprised both Old Master Jiang and Jiang Zhongyi.
The ward instantly fell silent.
After a long while, Jiang Zhongyi said, "Are you sure? Don’t you need to discuss this with Bai Li?"
Jiang Peng was originally going to affirm confidently, but upon hearing Jiang Zhongyi mention Bai Li, he hesitated a bit. Then he thought of his wife’s gentleness and kindness over the years and nodded with certainty, "I’ve thought it through. I believe Bai Li will agree."
Jiang Zhongyi looked at him and chuckled lightly, "Alright, we’ll talk about it when the time comes."
That night, Grandma Jiang didn’t wake up, and those accompanying her didn’t sleep either.
On New Year’s Day, as far as the soldiers of the troop are concerned, daily training does not change because of the holiday. Early in the morning, the bugle sounds, and spontaneous training proceeds in an orderly manner.
Wang Miaomiao finished washing up and opened the door, "Morning, Miao Miao, did you sleep well yesterday?"
Jiang Yan leaned casually against her door. Seeing her come out, he gave a cheerful smile and greeted her.
"Morning, it was fine." So many things happened yesterday, she was actually still in a bit of a daze.
Wang Miaomiao closed the door, then the two went to the training ground together and started training.
Although she fears hardship and fatigue, she always completes the basic training every day.
After training, the two strolled together to the cafeteria for breakfast, then began their day’s work.
However, it was evidently not a day for leisure today, as Xiao Liu found her before she even got to the office, "Report, Commander, there’s a task."
Jiang Yan’s aura instantly emerged, his lazy leisurely demeanor was replaced with cold determination, striding far ahead, leaving Wang Miaomiao behind.
Wang Miaomiao froze momentarily, then hurriedly jogged to catch up.
Jiang Yan left with a team by helicopter, while Wang Miaomiao stood on the corridor balcony watching the helicopter take off, gradually becoming distant, then turning into a black dot... disappearing...
Wang Miaomiao slightly furrowed her brow, feeling a strong sense of loss for a moment. She shook her head vigorously, trying hard to shake off this discomfort.
This task seemed heavy, with Jiang Yan taking several specialists ahead by plane, while ten trucks with a battalion force followed closely behind on the ground.
Regarding these specialists, Wang Miaomiao discovered their uniqueness by accident. Each of them had a solid special skill. Actually, she should also be categorized by Jiang Yan as a specialist, otherwise, she couldn’t enjoy the privilege of having a room to herself.
Wang Miaomiao stood quietly for a while. After returning to her small office, she heard the phone ringing in Jiang Yan’s big office. She rushed in to answer it, "Hello, 81257 Troop."
"Is it Miao Miao?"
Wang Miaomiao’s hand holding the phone slightly tightened. She recognized it as Jiang Yan’s dad’s voice. Remembering yesterday’s events, she felt a bit stuffed up.
"Yes, Uncle. Are you looking for Brother Jiang? He’s not here, he’s on a task."
Jiang Zhongyi felt even more low-spirited hearing his youngest son was away, thinking of his mother still unconscious in the hospital bed as he left.
"I see, alright then. Miao Miao, when he returns, please tell him to call home."
"Sure, Uncle, I’ll definitely let him know."
After hanging up, Wang Miaomiao sighed softly, trying hard to calm her mind before continuing work.
Jiang Zhongyi also sighed after hanging up. Hoping his youngest son can come back soon, yet knowing clearly that when duty calls for a soldier, everything cannot be swayed by personal will.
Grandma Jiang woke up around noon. Though she woke, her condition was very poor, intuitively sensing things weren’t looking good. Jiang Zhongyi watched her in heartfelt sorrow, his chest aching.
When he saw Zheng Zhen carrying a lunch box following Bai Li into the room, he desperately wanted to rush up and throttle her to vent his anger.
Zheng Zhen also didn’t sleep well last night, looking very fatigued. After hesitating all morning, she finally mustered the courage to come to the hospital at noon.
She knew this time she had caused big trouble. If Grandma Jiang had a serious incident, Jiang Zhongyi definitely wouldn’t let it go, then what would she do?
"Why are you here? Go away?" Jiang Zhongyi snatched the lunch box from her and contemptuously tried to get her to leave.
"I came to see Mom, how is she? Has she woken up?" Zheng Zhen didn’t show her arrogance this time but displayed her vulnerability.
She hastily moved in front of Grandma Jiang’s bed and knelt down without hesitation, "Mom, you woke up, that’s great. Yesterday was my fault. I was possessed by a ghost, saying those words. Please don’t take it to heart, I won’t dare anymore."
"Hurry up and leave. Look at what you’ve done, none are worthy of forgiveness. Don’t trouble my mom anymore." Jiang Zhongyi was astonished and moved seeing her remorse. This woman had been proud and domineering all her life, becoming more outrageous and stubborn in recent years.
"No, I won’t leave. I know I was wrong. I won’t dare to contradict you anymore. Whatever you say goes, even if you want that woman as a granddaughter-in-law, I’ll agree. Can you? I just ask you to say something for me. I don’t want to leave the Jiang Family, don’t drive me away." Zheng Zhen cried pitifully, pinning her hopes on Grandma Jiang.
Grandma Jiang didn’t know which words of hers she had heard, but her eyes brightened slightly. Jiang Zhongyi saw it and hurried forward, "Mom, do you want to say something?"
"Miao Miao, Yan Er, good kids." Grandma Jiang rasped each word, "Zhen Er, take good care."
Jiang Zhongyi kept nodding, his eyes filled with tears, and now he would agree to whatever Grandma Jiang said. As for how to act, that would be decided later.
"Mom, thank you. Mom, I’m sorry, I’ve wronged you." Zheng Zhen was touched. She didn’t expect Grandma Jiang to forgive her so easily without pursuing previous issues.
Zheng Zhen sighed lightly.
Thus, Jiang Zhongyi didn’t mention divorce for a while. He wasn’t in a hurry.
Half a month passed, and Grandma Jiang’s condition was very poor, worsening day by day, her body’s functions rapidly deteriorating, causing worry for the Jiang Family.
But, Grandma Jiang seemed to know she wasn’t doing well either. In recent days, when she managed to wake during the day, she would always seem to be looking for someone.
They knew she was looking for Jiang Yan, but he hadn’t returned from his task yet.
"Yan Er, Miao Miao..." Old Mrs. Jiang woke again, muttering these two names from time to time...
