Jiang Ci didn't hide anything and said truthfully: "Of course I figured it out, and I also figured out that your wife never blamed you for what happened back then, so you don't have to blame yourself so much."
Hearing Jiang Ci's words, the old Chinese medicine doctor was obviously stunned. Tears flowed from his sunken eye sockets, and his wrinkled face trembled slightly.
The old Chinese medicine doctor was silent and sighed slightly: "Actually, I have always known that she is such a kind person, how could she blame me? It's just that I have never been able to forgive myself!"
He is now in his seventies. That incident happened more than fifty years ago, when he was only in his early twenties.
An old Chinese medicine doctor named Qi Zhen, when he was twenty-three years old, he met a girl he admired - Yao Yulan.
The two fell in love at first sight and soon fell in love. Not long after, Qi Zhen expressed that he wanted to marry her, so he explained the situation to his family, but he did not expect to be opposed by his family.
At that time, marriage was about being well-matched. Yao Yulan's family background was not good. Her parents were involved in an accident during a construction project. The accident caused heavy casualties and even the boss ran away. Although Yao Yulan's parents survived, But he also became disabled as a result.
After that, her parents became inconvenient, and the heavy responsibility of supporting the family fell on Yao Yulan. She not only had to make money to support the family, but also took care of her disabled parents.
Qi Zhen's family was a businessman. In those days, a family that could do business could be said to be a wealthy family. Naturally, his parents looked down on Yao Yulan, who was from a small family at that time, and firmly disagreed with Qi Zhen marrying her. They even forced the two to break up.
So Qi Zhen ran away from home after a big quarrel with his parents.
Qi Zhen came to Yao Yulan's house and told her about it. After hearing this, Yao Yulan clenched her hands on her knees.
She wanted to persuade Qi Zhen to just let it go. She loved Qi Zhen very much and didn't want to be separated from him, but she didn't want Qi Zhen to fall out with her family because of her.
But Qi Zhen asked her to wait patiently for a few days, saying that he would definitely come to marry her in a few days. After saying this, Qi Zhen left Yao Yulan's house.
Sure enough, a few days later Qi Zhen arrived as promised to marry Yao Yulan.
Because Qi Zhen is the only son of the Qi family, Qi's father still hopes that this son will inherit the family business.
At first, Qi's father and Qi's mother did not agree with him marrying Yao Yulan. Qi Zhen, who ran away from home, was taken back and imprisoned by his parents, who said they would not let him out until he broke up with Yao Yulan.
However, Qi Zhen was also stubborn and refused to break up with Yao Yulan. He even refused to eat or drink for several days and went on a hunger strike to resist his parents.
In the end, Qi's father and Qi's mother had no choice but to agree to let him marry Yao Yulan.
Qi Zhen got his wish and married the one he loved, and their married life was also very happy. However, the Qi family still looked down on Yao Yulan behind their backs, thinking that she was the one who had surpassed their Qi family.
A year later, Yao Yulan gave birth to a son for Qi Zhen, and also added a son to the Qi family. Qi's father and Qi's mother were very happy and loved this grandson very much.
The Qi family favors sons over daughters, perhaps because Yao Yulan gave birth to a son, and Qi's father and Qi's mother now look upon her much more favorably than before.
Just when everything was going well, a plague broke this hard-won happiness.
The entire town was enveloped by a sudden plague virus. No one knew why the virus started. They only knew that many people failed to survive and died after being infected by the plague.
For a time, the whole town was filled with panic and mourning.
Many wealthy families took effective protective measures to avoid contracting the plague in the early stages of the virus outbreak, including the Qi family.
Unfortunately, despite various protective measures, Yao Yulan was still infected with the plague. The Qi family isolated Yao Yulan, and dedicated people took care of her every day.
Yao Yulan couldn't afford to fall ill, and her whole body became thinner day by day.
It didn't take long for there to be medicine that could cure the plague, but the medicine was very expensive. Ordinary people who couldn't afford the medicine had to wait to die.
The Qi family has money, but Qi Zhen has no money, because all the money is in the hands of his parents, and he doesn't have a serious job now. When he wants to spend money, he usually asks his parents for it, so he doesn't have much money at all.
Qi Zhen originally wanted to ask his parents for money to buy medicine to cure his wife, but unexpectedly his parents refused.
Qi Zhen begged, but his parents never agreed.
"Why?!" Qi Zhen felt like his lungs were about to explode: "Mom and Dad, she is my wife, Xiaoyuan's mother!!!"
Xiaoyuan is Qi Wenyuan, the son of Qi Zhen and Yao Yulan.
Qi's mother said calmly: "Since she has given birth to a son for our Qi family, there is no use keeping her. It is better to die."
Qi Zhen was stunned as if struck by lightning. He didn't want to believe that these words came from his parents' mouths.
Qi's mother was still persuading her earnestly: "Son, what kind of good girl can't find a good girl with the conditions in our family? Do you have to hang her on a tree?
"Don't worry, mom will find a better one for you after she dies!"
Qi's mother has always disliked Yao Yulan. She always believed that Yao Yulan's family background was not worthy of her son. If she hadn't given birth to a son for the Qi family, she would have kicked her out long ago.
Now God has opened his eyes and let her contract this plague. If she dies in the end, then she can't blame others, right?
Thinking of this, Qi's mother refused to take out the money no matter what.
Qi Zhen was extremely anxious: "Mom! Do you want to watch Yulan die?!"
Qi's mother was indifferent: "Son, it's not that my mother is cruel. You see, the medicine is so expensive. Our family won't be able to afford so much money for a while?"
Qi Zhen didn't believe it at all. The medicine was expensive, but it wasn't so expensive that his family couldn't afford it!
"Mom, please don't lie to me. Our family can't even afford medicine. I beg you, please save Yulan!!" Qi Zhen knelt on the ground and begged.
But Qi's mother was determined not to save Yao Yulan.
"Get up!" Mother Qi raised her eyebrows and said, "How can you, a grown man, kneel down casually for a woman?"
Qi Zhen stood up quickly, "Mom, did you agree?"
Qi's mother's tone became colder: "No, I won't give you money. You should give up this idea as soon as possible!"
"mom!!!"
"Okay, okay." Qi's mother waved her hand and said, "Hurry up and go back to your room to study. Your dad is still counting on you to take over his class!"
"Okay! If you don't give me money today, then just think you don't have a son like me!" Qi Zhen said angrily.
"You——!" Mother Qi said angrily: "Are you going to make me mad to death?!"
"You forced me to do this!"
"Okay, then you give it a try!" Qi's mother was so angry that her chest heaved violently, "If you can, get out of this house!"
