Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Husband and Wife as One

New Year’s Eve.

The atmosphere in Yan City was gloomy, with only a few households hanging red lanterns at their doors.

Heavy snow fell steadily, covering the eaves of houses completely.

"Since everyone is here, let’s start eating."

Lin Shougui was looking at his children and grandchildren at the table, and opened his mouth with a hearty laugh.

Now, with three generations under one roof, his children are filial. To speak truly, this was something he hardly dared to dream of.

Mother Lin was also very comforted by the manners of her grandchildren.

Who would have thought a few years ago that her two grandsons would grow up to be what they are today?

If they were still living in the past, they would probably be wearing coarse clothes and scavenging for food in the fields.

Who wouldn’t praise them now for their fine upbringing?

It’s rare and fortunate that her sons and daughter are so filial, and all their spouses are great.

Even if she couldn’t live for one more year, she would be content.

The family was talking and laughing around the dining table, celebrating New Year’s reunion.

Other people in Yan City were also celebrating New Year’s eve at home.

"Jingzhi, I’ve heard that you have become a doctor at the medical hall?"

Mr. Zeng asked suddenly while eating dinner.

"Yes."

Ever since his marriage to Miss Zeng, Wang Jingzhi has become more energetic.

Having a virtuous wife beside him made it possible for him to vent the pent-up shame and guilt in his heart.

Nowadays, he had devoted all his attention to his medical studies and naturally progressed fast.

"That’s good." Mr. Zeng nodded approvingly. Thinking of the rumors circulating outside the city, he sighed.

"Jingzhi, do you know the situation outside the city?"

Wang Jingzhi was stunned. He glanced at his wife before choosing his words carefully.

"I know a little. The outskirts of the city are being plagued by the rat plagues, and the constant heavy snow is not making things any better."

Mr. Zeng nodded, seeing his hesitant expression, he continued to ask.

"I’ve heard that there are people in the villages outside the city who were bitten by the rats and have been unconscious due to high fever. Do you have any solution?"

Seeing that her husband kept pestering him, and that her son-in-law showed a troubled face, Mrs. Zeng nudged Mr. Zeng under the table, hinting at him to stop questioning.

The situation inside and outside the city was already chaotic, why is he asking about this now?

"I don’t."

Wang Jingzhi shook his head, his face showing a hint of frustration.

The masters were old, and this year was particularly cold, their health was deteriorating.

They had read the letter sent by Big Brother Shen a few days ago, but the masters had never seen such sickness before.

However, Big Brother Shen had visited again in the evening.

He said that a doctor from outside the city had found a cure, but that he would need their help in the subsequent recuperation process.

Now that the masters’ health was deteriorating, he feared that he would have to go out of the city with his senior brother in a few days.

Although the masters had affirmed his medical skills, he was still nervous.

"Jingzhi..." Mr. Zeng wanted to say something more, but Mrs. Zeng kicked him, and he had to shut up.

"Jingzhi, Mother-in-law knows that you are a good doctor with a kind heart, but you have been married for several months now. Have you thought about when you will give us a grandson or granddaughter?"

Old Madam Zeng said with a smile, while underneath the table she gave Mr. Zeng a hard kick. Mr. Zeng gritted his teeth, trying his best not to cry out in pain.

"Mother!" Miss Zeng blushed, surprised that her mother would suddenly bring up this topic.

"The situation outside the city is chaotic now, and Jingzhi still has to go and help people. We can... we can discuss this matter later."

Miss Zeng cheeks flushed, the words she said made Wang Jingzhi freeze.

He was certain that he hadn’t told her about this matter.

"The situation outside the city is chaotic." Mr. Zeng only said this, but his meaning was clear.

Wang Jingzhi was somewhat awkward, while Miss Zeng defended him righteously, "Jingzhi studied medicine to save people. Now is the time when the people need doctors the most."

"Nonsense! There are plenty of doctors in the city. They know what to do. It’s most important that he stays home and takes care of you since your health has just improved. "

Mentioning that, Mr. Zeng slammed the table, his face suddenly turned cold, and there was discontent in his tone.

Miss Zeng got angry with him and stalked back to her room sullenly.

Wang Jingzhi felt a little embarrassed. He hurriedly followed her after giving a quick bow.

Mr. Zeng was not slightly angry, and just sat there sulking.

"What are you talking about on New Year’s Eve?"

Mrs. Zeng signaled to the maid to pour a cup of tea, and then tried to calm him down.

"This girl, she’s gotten wild! I’m doing this for her! Look at the chaos outside the city, aren’t they afraid of catching the plague? If Jingzhi goes, what will she do!"

"Don’t you know what kind of person Nana is? Jingzhi has learned medicine and he’s kind. If he didn’t have this character, would you have agreed to this marriage in the first place? Now the people outside the city are suffering from disease and need Jingzhi’s help, how can we stop him?"

Mrs. Zeng got up and massaged his shoulders, feeling a bit upset.

The child has grown up and has her own thoughts.

"Nana has always had a weak constitution. If anything happens to Jingzhi again..." Mr. Zeng and Mrs. Zeng had married at a young age, and all these years he never took a concubine or frequented brothels.

He had eyes only for Mrs. Zeng.

He cherished the daughter born after their marriage as if she were a gem, but she was physically weak. Now that she has finally gotten married and her health has improved, he didn’t want to see her upset.

"Whatever Nana wants to do, we will protect her. We’ve been doing good deeds and accumulating virtue for all these years, isn’t it for her sake? Now she wants Jingzhi to go out and help people. How can we stop him?

Husband, although we are reluctant to part with Nana, it’s Jingzhi who will accompany her throughout her life in the end."

Mrs. Zeng spoke, massaging his shoulders.

Their family was in business. Although they weren’t extremely wealthy, they had accumulated some assets over the years. It wasn’t difficult to protect their daughter and son-in-law.

"Sigh..."

Mr. Zeng sighed, and the anger in his heart subsided.

Honestly, a married daughter is like water poured out of the family.

"Wife, how, how did you know..."

Wang Jingzhi was a bit nervous, standing there like a child who had done something wrong, unsure of what to do.

"Because I’m smart." Miss Zeng held her head high and just hummed.

"Jingzhi, if you really think of me as your wife, you should discuss everything with me."

"Yes."

Wang Jingzhi’s face turned from red to white, then from white to red again. After a long time, he responded timidly.

Actually, the reason he hid this from her was because he himself was also very confused.

His grandfather had once said that he was a very talented child.

But when he came to Yan City, he realized that there was an abundance of people with talent. If he did not study hard, he would be surpassed by those with even greater talent.

Now that he had graduated, if he was really going to save people as a representative of Jihe Hall, he would be uncertain himself.

"Jingzhi, I trust your medical skills, and you don’t have to worry about me, alright?"

Miss Zeng whispered. There was a gentle smile on her face.

A husband and wife are one in spirit.

She didn’t want Wang Jingzhi to back down because of her.
