Chapter 1541 Your wife didn't rest properly during her postpartum period
"Hmm? How about you bite me?"
He stretched his strong arm right up to her mouth and said, "Anything is fine, don't cry, it hurts me to see you cry."
Jiang Tong wiped away her tears, "You don't care at all."
“How could I not feel sorry for you? If I didn’t feel sorry for you, I wouldn’t have let your dad bring you to Beijing. I don’t want to drag you down with me.”
"So you only moved yourself. We're not right for each other, it's better to break up..."
"Everyone has a different way of doing things. I can't bear to separate from you because I love you."
Jiang Tong was silent.
"I don't feel that you love me."
"..."
Li Jingchen was silent.
Jiang Tong was still angry. If he loved her, he wouldn't have let her suffer those rumors.
He even blamed her for not telling him about her back pain, but telling other men instead. What else could he do besides argue with her?
This time, Li Jingchen didn't argue with Jiang Tong anymore. He helped her with the shop's affairs without complaint, and he left whenever she left.
I went back to her place with her that night.
He took the initiative to care for Xiao Er and comfort the child.
After dinner, he went to the bathroom and brought back a basin of hot water and a hot towel to wipe Jiang Tong's face, apply a hot compress to her waist, and then bring her a basin of water to soak her feet.
I patiently coaxed her.
"Come back to Nandi with me tomorrow. I'll go with you to the hospital for a check-up. If there's nothing wrong, I'll accompany you to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor."
"I don't need you to accompany me," Jiang Tong refused.
“Listen to me,” Li Jingchen raised his head and said decisively, “I have to go with you to get checked out and see what the professional doctor says about why you have back pain.”
Jiang Tong suddenly realized something and became even more resistant...
"I told you I don't need you to come with me."
Jiang Tong became agitated.
Li Jingchen frowned.
"Do you want to get better or not?"
"I've made up my mind, but I don't need you to come with me. I know my own body best. You're so self-righteous, do you even realize how incredibly self-righteous you are?"
"Hmm." Li Jingchen lowered his head.
"What did you say?"
"I know," Li Jingchen changed his words.
"What do you know?"
“…” Li Jingchen pursed his thin lips.
What would be the correct way for him to answer?
Because she was angry, Jiang Tong's firm chest heaved, and Li Jingchen didn't argue with her anymore.
“I know I was presumptuous and didn’t consider your feelings, but I care about your health. I’m not indifferent or heartbroken.”
"..." Jiang Tong fell silent again.
The next day, she still went back to the Southern Emperor.
Because it's the Ghost Festival, we need to sweep the graves of our grandparents.
Back in Nandi, their driver picked them up in a Rolls-Royce.
Li Jingchen then told Jiang Tong the truth.
Song Qingyi didn't want to celebrate her birthday at home this time, so she went to climb Mount Tai with Li Jingchen. The two of them had climbed Mount Hua, Mount Heng, and Mount Song together when they were young, but they had never been to Mount Tai, the foremost of the Five Sacred Mountains.
The two talked a lot during the hike.
Family, life.
It wasn't until I reached the summit that I truly understood the meaning of "standing at the top of the mountain, looking down on all the smaller peaks."
Li Jingchen took Jiang Mingyang and Li Feifan with him to climb Mount Tai. Children's physical strength can't compare to that of adults.
Li Jingchen was able to take a plane the next day to Beijing to see Jiang Tong. The younger children, however, couldn't manage; being able to crawl a third of the way was already quite an achievement.
So I was exhausted and resting at home. It wasn't that I didn't want to come back, nor that I didn't miss her.
Jiang Tong suddenly realized and said, "No wonder the sheep didn't answer my call."
Li Jingchen said, "I'm exhausted, I'll just sleep at home all day."
Jiang Tong added, "If I had known, I would have gone too. My grandma's hometown is Tai'an, and I haven't been back to visit her in a long time."
Li Jingchen said, "I remember when you two were still alive, you were afraid of heights and couldn't fly. You said you wanted to go back to visit during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I drove you back. Do you remember?"
Jiang Tong certainly remembered, "Grandpa gets carsick, and he even threw up on the highway. The old man suffered."
Li Jingchen said, "Back then, high-speed rail tickets were impossible to get, and train tickets were also sold out, otherwise the trains wouldn't have been running."
Jiang Tong still remembers, "So I never went back. I don't know what happened to those distant relatives, my second aunt, my third aunt, my great-uncle, etc."
Because their grandmother was buried in Qicheng after her death, they never went back.
Li Jingchen said, "They even asked me if I was your bodyguard."
Jiang Tong smiled; she would never forget the embarrassed, ashen expression on Li Jingchen's face at that moment.
Li Jingchen smiled slightly and looked out the window. "Back then, I wasn't good enough for you. I didn't have the right temperament."
Jiang Tong said, "No, it's not that. The suit you wore that day was too old-fashioned, and the tie looked like it was wrapped around your neck twice. Plus, you were carrying so many bags in your hands, and you wouldn't let me carry anything. And you were following behind me, so they misunderstood."
Jiang Tong continued, "Then I said you were my husband, and you took off your coat. Everyone praised you for being handsome and tall. Everyone liked you so much. They said you must be some rich young master."
Hearing her say that, Li Jingchen just looked at Jiang Tong, his smile becoming very gentle.
After she finished speaking, he took her hand.
"Let's not get a divorce, okay?"
"..." Jiang Tong then realized that he had done it on purpose.
He deliberately brought up these pleasant memories of the past to soften her heart.
"Let's keep our issues separate."
Li Jingchen: "..."
Relieved that no problems could be found at the hospital, Li Jingchen took Jiang Tong to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.
The old Chinese medicine doctor was the best he had found in Nandi, the one most skilled at treating back pain, after asking around.
Jiang Tong was surprised to learn that this old Chinese medicine doctor was the same one that Wang Ying had recommended to her before.
The old Chinese medicine doctor was puzzled. He had been doing well with the acupuncture, and another course of treatment would have cured him. So why did he leave?
"I went to work in Beijing and just came back to Nandi."
"There are more renowned doctors in Beijing; you must persevere in everything you do," the old Chinese medicine doctor said earnestly.
"Okay." Jiang Tong felt particularly uncomfortable and kept wanting Li Jingchen to leave and not stay inside.
While Jiang Tong went to the restroom, Li Jingchen asked the old lady, "Doctor, why does my wife have back pain?"
The old woman asked in confusion, "You're her husband, and I'd like to ask you the same thing! Your wife's health problems stem from not having a proper postpartum period. As her husband, weren't you supposed to take care of her during her postpartum period? Women catch colds, and the coldness travels from their waist. And..."
Li Jingchen was already feeling extremely guilty, as he hadn't been there for her during her postpartum period, as it was her first time giving birth.
Then the old Chinese medicine doctor said something else.
Also, Jiang Tong has a history of back injury.
He remained silent, his expression heavy, as if someone had shot him in the heart.
"I will stay with her during her rehabilitation until she is fully recovered."
"She should pay more attention to keeping warm, do moxibustion and physical therapy, and avoid catching a cold, so that it is less likely to recur."
"Thank you, I've noted it all down."
Jiang Tong lay down, ready to receive the acupuncture.
Li Jingchen sat next to her, holding her hand tightly the whole time.
Jiang Tong looked up and froze.
