Chapter 238: Nothing is impossible to solve with the help of the ancestors
Li Wan had never encountered such a thing before, and she was so frightened that she didn't know what to do. Although their reproaches were unpleasant, she didn't care about her face at this moment. She thought about asking Mrs. Wang for help, but Mrs. Wang looked embarrassed and said, "I asked you at the beginning if you could take on these tasks and do them well, and you agreed in front of me. Alas! If Feng Ge'er was here, she would have thought of a way to solve these troubles and mistakes."
Madam Xing continued, "If you ask me, if Feng girl were still alive, she would never make such a mistake. Even if she was really careless, she would have thought of a way to solve it before the matter reached our ears. At most, she would go to the ancestors to beg and act like a spoiled child. There is no problem that cannot be solved."
Li Wan was stunned and couldn't say a word. Only then did she realize that these people had put her in this position and made her responsible for everything. If something went wrong, no one would care about her.
However, Mrs. Xing's words reminded her that now only Lady Jia could help her, and only Lady Jia had the ability to help her.
After Jia She and Mrs. Xing left angrily, Li Wan rushed to the hospital to visit Lady Jia.
The sun was shining brightly at three o'clock in the afternoon, shining on the window of the ward. The window was open, the curtains were drawn, and occasionally a breeze blew, gently lifting the curtains.
Yuanyang was washing towels and handkerchiefs in the bathroom, while Zijuan was sitting in front of the hospital bed holding a big pomelo, carefully peeling the skin and picking out the seeds.
Li Wan knocked on the door and gently pushed it open to come in. She glanced at Jia's mother lying on the bed. She just smiled at Zijuan, not daring to say anything, and tiptoed towards the sofa.
"Who's here?" Jia's mother asked softly, her voice still a little hoarse.
"Grandma, I'm here to see you." Li Wan approached the bed and whispered. Yuanyang heard the noise and came out of the bathroom. Li Wan then put the fruit basket in her hand on the coffee table.
"Hurry up and sit down!" Jia's mother immediately asked Zijuan to help her sit up, and Yuanyang also came to help. The two of them worked together: three, two, one! Finally, they helped Jia's mother sit up, and then adjusted the electric bed board to the appropriate angle.
After Jia's mother sat back, she slowly said, "I'm much better now. I want to eat something today. You don't have to worry about me. We are all very busy. The doctor said I can be discharged the day after tomorrow."
Li Wan was at a loss for words, and she didn't know how to start. She could only awkwardly ask Grandmother Jia what she thought.
"The doctor said: Thanks to Zijuan for feeding me the detoxifying soup in time, and the timely rescue at the hospital, I suffered less than those other people."
Zijuan quickly replied, "How can you not suffer less? You are sweating after drinking those bitter medicines, and you vomited out everything in your stomach. Your stomach, which you have managed to heal with great difficulty, needs to be healed again."
The speaker said this unintentionally but the listener took it seriously. Li Wan's face turned unhappy and she sat there feeling ashamed and guilty.
Yuanyang saw that Li Wan looked unhappy, so she winked at Zijuan and said to comfort her, "However, what our ancestors said is right. They are blessed with a long life, so naturally they have suffered less. As for your stomach, as long as you are obedient and know how to avoid certain foods, we will slowly help you get well."
Just as the party was getting lively, Wang Xifeng pushed the door open and walked in. Grandmother Jia was not used to eating outside food, so Wang Xifeng cooked all three meals a day and two snacks in between and sent them to her. The recipes were written by Zijuan and given to her.
What we have now is dinner and afternoon snacks. Be sure to eat small meals frequently.
Wang Xifeng placed two bags on the coffee table, and a small thermos box contained rice paste made of yam, poria cocos and water chestnut. Li Wan saw it and hurriedly got up to wash her hands in the bathroom. After coming out, she held the thermos box and fed it to Jia's mother herself.
Wang Xifeng had a stern face throughout the whole process. Li Wan let her feed the baby with her own hands, but she didn't give her a good look.
Jia Mu drank half a bowl and stopped. Zijuan hurriedly brought some mouthwash over. Jia Mu rinsed her mouth gently and spit it out. She then asked Li Wan to peel an apple for her.
"The garden should be closed?" Grandmother Jia finally spoke.
"Well, I found my father and asked him to ask someone to take a look. The main thing is that if we delay any longer, all the ingredients we imported will be wasted, and the longer we close, the easier it is to lose customers."
Grandmother Jia said calmly, "It would be best if your father can resolve it."
Li Wan immediately softened her tone: "My father is only in the Ministry of Education. He can help with the schooling problems of my children. But he may not be able to help this time. It's nothing more than asking his students to find a solution." Li Wan didn't actually look for her father. She had already fallen out with her family because of the investment in Guanyuan. The reason why she brought up her father was to remind Jia Mu and everyone: First, she had thought of a way, but it just didn't work out, not because she was not capable enough. The second was to remind them that their family had helped the children of the Jia family solve many schooling problems before. Even if they didn't have any credit, they had worked hard.
Grandmother Jia nodded and told Wang Xifeng, "Then you should help her smooth things over! All the money for handling things will come from my account. I should compensate them for their medical expenses, lost wages... not a single bit less. Our business relies on word of mouth. We must make sure they are satisfied. Of course, we must not reduce our responsibilities and let them investigate the supplier's problems."
Wang Xifeng nodded, told Zijuan about the dinner, and then led Li Wan out.
After entering the elevator, Li Wan smiled awkwardly at Wang Xifeng, who snorted behind her: "If you don't have the skills, don't take on the job. Now that something has happened, you know what role you play. If I were still in that position, I would never let them make a fool of themselves. I look down on these people's work. When something happens, they just shrink their necks and wait for us to deal with them."
Li Wan did not dare to refute a word, and just nodded in agreement. Although Wang Xifeng's words were unpleasant to hear, they were very reasonable. There was no one in this family who could help her. Before, everyone called her sister-in-law, but later those who should have withdrawn withdrew, and those who were not on the same page with her stopped pretending. She had to deal with three mountains above and difficult employees below. Now that this happened, she was like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror, neither human nor human!
She followed Wang Xifeng around for the rest of the afternoon, met with some people in charge of the matter, and tried to find all kinds of information and documents. It was not until several days later that the matter was resolved and Guanyuan Garden began to open for business again.
After this incident, Li Wan's character became much stronger. After a few days of keeping her head down, she finally solved the problem. Then she secretly made up her mind that when the garden reopened, she would do something big to show them, and she would never be so cowardly and let them look down on her.
