Chapter 351: Chapter 351

Gong Ruini could sense something was off from Zhao Xuran and the others’ intense reactions, but she never thought her condition would be that serious.

Serious to the point that even Zhan Jing found it difficult to treat her, how could Gong Ruini not be terrified.

If even Zhan Jing couldn’t handle it, how serious must the illness be, "Wasn’t I just asleep?"

Gong Ruini remembers sleeping a bit on the ox cart on the way back, but that shouldn’t have been a big deal.

How did it escalate into such a severe illness?

"You caught a cold and then faced a lot of pressure," Zhao Xuran knew that Gong Ruini would definitely face bullying when she returned to the Gong Family; he just didn’t expect the pressure to be that immense.

Pressure? Gong Ruini didn’t understand; where did the pressure come from? Was it academic pressure?

Come on, wasn’t that kind of pressure supposed to be for that kid Zhao Guangran?

"I must have been exhausted; I didn’t rest well along the way and there were too many things happening over there." Sigh, Gong Ruini truly regretted it, she should have known that joining the excitement wasn’t a good idea, see, she almost got herself into trouble.

Gong Ruini decided that if there were such lively events in the future, she really needed to think it over carefully; it’s good to see the bustling relatives, but she couldn’t let herself get into trouble. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel⸺fire.net

No pressure? Didn’t Uncle Gong say Ni Zi was very upset about the tombstone? Zhao Xuran stared at Gong Ruini for a long time, realizing she truly had no regrets.

Zhao Xuran didn’t know how to ask, worried that Gong Ruini was pretending to be fine, but Zhao Guangran was different. He bluntly asked, "Aren’t you angry about your grandpa’s tombstone?"

"I don’t think Ni Zi would be so upset over such a thing." Who is Gong Ruini? Her face is as thick as it comes; when Gong Dajiang came by last time, Zhao Guangran didn’t see her being too friendly with her grandparents, just slightly better than strangers.

Since the relationship with Gong Dajiang is so cold, how could she be unhappy about a tombstone?

"I wouldn’t be upset about that; whether my name is on it or not doesn’t matter, it’s not my loss anyway." Gong Ruini actually wanted to say that if possible, none of her family’s names should be on it, to completely sever ties and have no interactions in the future.

But that’s just a thought, Gong Qiang isn’t a fool; he wouldn’t actually do that; otherwise, really, Gong Tao would beat him half to death.

"Right, right, it’s not Ni Zi’s loss." Zhao Guangran admired Gong Ruini’s various tsundere ways but also thought Gong Ruini has an unusually thick skin.

"Ah, we forgot to notify my mom." Sitting on the kang (heated brick bed), after chatting with Gong Ruini for a while, Gong Ruwen realized they hadn’t informed Gong Tao and his wife.

They had repeatedly instructed that as soon as Gong Ruini woke up, they should be notified immediately, and now she’d been awake for a while, yet they hadn’t informed anyone; sigh, what a blunder.

"Uncle Gong, Aunt Cai, Sister Ni is awake." Zhao Zisu kept repeatedly saying that Gong Ruini had woken up.

Cai Meina was also full of surprise; she never thought that just when she was considering taking Ni Zi to the hospital, her daughter woke up, leaving Cai Meina so excited she almost fainted.

"I was the one who discovered Sister Ni woke up." Zhao Banxia was the most excited.

Humph, even if his older brother and the others were in the room next to Sister Ni, they weren’t as good as them occasionally visiting Sister Ni and seeing her wake up.

Zhao Banxia was excited, why did Sister Ni wake up just when they went in, Zhao Banxia thought it was all because they and Sister Ni had a telepathic connection.

Listening to the two kids boasting, Zhao Guangran was gnashing his teeth in anger, aware that these two boys running outside wasn’t a good thing, knowing they’d most likely report things.

Gong Ruwen’s face turned red immediately, he really forgot to inform his parents, he really shouldn’t have, but now it’s too late to inform them.

Gong Ruwen could only pray and hope that his parents wouldn’t be angry with him, but he expected they wouldn’t be angry because his sister waking up was a big happy event.

Although Cai Meina heard from Zhao Banxia and others about Ni Zi waking up, she didn’t dare believe it until she saw it for herself.

"Mom." Gong Ruini, although lacking much strength, still had enough energy to greet people.

"Ni Zi." Cai Meina, seeing that it was truly her daughter who had woken up, rushed over and hugged her, crying.

"I knew Ni Zi would be okay."

"I knew Ni Zi would get better."

"In the future, we won’t go back, that place is not good for you, Ni Zi."

These past two days, Cai Meina had thought a lot, always feeling that the old home was really not favorable for Gong Ruini; otherwise, why would Ni Zi fall seriously ill after returning from there, and why, when she stayed there, was her health always not quite good?

Was this trying to say the old home is jinxed for her? Originally, Gong Ruini wanted to say this was a feudal superstition, but seeing how tightly Cai Meina was holding her, she could sense her tension, realizing that her serious illness had truly worried her parents a lot.

At this time, Gong Ruini noticed the weary look on Cai Meina’s face, and she had white hair, which made Gong Ruini feel very guilty. If only she had resisted falling asleep back then, perhaps none of this would have happened.

"Mom, I’m sorry. I really shouldn’t have fallen asleep." Gong Ruini thought that if she had just held on a bit longer back then, this situation would never have occurred.

"If you had resisted, your health might have really taken a turn for the worse." Zhan Jing had just gotten home; although it was the Spring Festival, she was used to checking the health station daily to see if anything was happening.

For the past two years, she had trained a few kids, although none were really gifted, they were diligent and keen to learn, which made Zhan Jing tolerate it. Otherwise, just based on these kids’ abilities, Zhan Jing really wouldn’t want to teach.

Ah, really? Gong Ruini always felt that Zhan Jing might be exaggerating. It’s as if every time she fell ill, there was some good news; Gong Ruini truly didn’t understand, but after thinking about it, Zhan Jing had never really hurt her before.

"Rest well for the next few days and don’t worry about your studies." Zhan Jing was concerned that Gong Ruini, who was eager to learn, would start studying as soon as she was reminded, so she told her beforehand.

"Also, you can’t eat meat these days, only bland food, preferably white porridge daily." Zhan Jing knew Gong Ruini would be annoyed by the following words, but since Gong Ruini was her patient, she had to give proper instructions.

Drink white porridge daily? Oh my, not eating meat is already tragic enough, and now she has to drink porridge for a few days? Gong Ruini was really worried she’d end up looking like porridge herself.

Meat, meat, meat, she wanted to eat meat. Gong Ruini’s skin and muscles were constantly protesting inside, everything else was negotiable, but not letting her eat meat was not.

Clearly, there was meat at home, clearly they had celebrated a big New Year filled with abundant meat supply. Yet Zhao Xuran had reached a point where just seeing meat made him want to avoid it.

Gong Ruini couldn’t help but find her friends annoying, knowing she was weak and yet kept talking about how delicious pork was, it was a bit intolerable.

Gong Ruini gave Zhao Guangran a hard stare. That kid was clearly up to no good, continuously praising the taste of meat, just to make her crave it,

This kind of person, in later generations, would definitely be someone you’d need to block without hesitation.
