After a short while, the baby finally stopped crying. He was truly easy to take care of. He seemed to be able to sense the strange atmosphere and did not want to cause trouble for the adults who were distracted.
Song Ning walked over to Sister Yu and said with a smile, “Smelly baby, you really stink…”
The baby lay in Sister Yu’s arms and looked at Song Ning. His bright eyes darted around the room as he chewed on his fist. He did not have any reaction to Song Ning at all.
Song Ning reached out to pinch the baby’s cheek, but Jiang Jin, who approached from behind, quickly grabbed her hand.
Song Ning was taken aback.
Jiang Jin held Song Ning’s hand and said, “Song Ning, your nails are too long. If you want to hold the baby, you’ll have to trim them. Otherwise, you’ll end up hurting the baby. Why are your nails so shiny? Did you paint them? This isn’t good for the baby. Aren’t you a doctor? You should know this…”
Song Ning hurriedly withdrew her hand from Jiang Jin’s grip. She really regretted trying to touch the baby now. “Grandma, I was just curious and didn’t think about my nails. Moreover, I usually don’t take care of the baby so I forgot all about it and let my nails grow. I… I’ll trim them immediately…”
Jiang Jin sighed. “Even if you don’t take care of the baby, how are you going to check your patients’ pulse with such long nails? That’s right. It’s been a while since you last checked my pulse. Before you go to bed tonight, why don’t check Yu and my pulse?”
Song Ning’s expression changed slightly upon hearing these words. Then, she hastily hugged Jiang Jin’s arm like a spoiled child and said, “Grandma, you’re healthy. Why do you want to have your pulse checked? Don’t worry yourself needlessly. There’s nothing wrong with you. Ignorance is bliss after all. The most important thing is to enjoy life. Look at your complexion! You’re clearly very healthy. Don’t worry. As long as I’m around, you won’t fall sick. Moreover, all you need to do is spend more time with your great-grandson. I guarantee all your illnesses will go away when you look at the baby. Sister Yu, don’t you agree?”
Sister Yu nodded with a smile, but her smile was so forced that she looked worse than if she were crying.
In the past, Song Ning had insisted on checking Jiang Jin’s pulse every day. Although Jiang Jin said multiple times it was unnecessary, Song Ning had always said prevention was better than cure. Song Ning had also said many times that sometimes one would not show symptoms even if they were sick, but one’s pulse would not be able to hide the sickness. It could be seen that nothing was more important to Song Ning than Jiang Jin’s health.
Therefore, how could Sister Yu not feel uneasy when Song Ning said there was no need to check Jiang Jin’s pulse and that ignorance was bliss? If it were not for Song Ning’s appearance, she would have thought the person in front of her was not Song Ning.
On the other hand, Jiang Jin’s expression did not change. She only said with a smile, “You’re really good at coaxing me and making me happy…”
Then, Jiang Jin and Song Ning left the room to go downstairs for lunch.
Sister Yu gently placed the baby back into the cot as a helper came in to clean up the mess. A gust of wind blew in, causing Sister Yu to feel a chill on her back. It was the cold sweat from the earlier interaction. As she looked at the baby, she felt the weight on her shoulders grow heavier. After a moment, she said tonelessly, “Go and call Nuan who’s helping out in the kitchen here…”
The helper was stunned. “Sister Yu, why are you looking for Nuan? She’s still inexperienced. Let me help you instead.”
Sister Yu said, “It’s fine. I don’t have much to do recently so I can show her the ropes. Moreover, her father has repeatedly told us to look after all. It’s only right that we teach her some skills…”
The helper sighed. “Sister Yu, you’re really kind. Everyone in the family is kind as well. We’re all blessed. I’ll get Nuan to come over immediately.”
Sister Yu smiled. “It’s not easy for everyone.. It’s important to help each other out. Apart from that, remember not to gossip about our masters, understand?”
