"I have no money, but you can take my life!" Li Shanxing's father resorted to shamelessness. He already had a bad reputation in the village, and now that he was in the wrong, he started acting like a rogue, refusing to pay a single penny.

He was also anxious. He hadn't been avoiding talking about it much lately, and he was worried that he might have been infected as well. He also had two children, so he needed to find time to go to the county hospital.

Li Xiuxiu won a complete victory in this farce. The villagers had no doubt about her innocence. First, there were written hospital examination reports as proof. Second, Li Xiuxiu had brought her fiancé with her. If she really had a disease, what man would dare to marry her? Even foreigners wouldn't be that stupid. Would they marry a wife with a disease? Had they been kicked in the head by a donkey?

Li Xiuxiu weathered her ordeal safely, and no one talked about her anymore.

Moreover, the villagers are now in a state of panic. Even those who haven't been to Li Shanxing's house are worried about being infected, so they might as well go to the county hospital for a check-up to put their minds at ease and avoid living in constant fear.

The test results from the county hospital weren't coming in quickly, and it just so happened to be the weekend, so it would take at least a week to get the results. The whole village was shrouded in a stifling quiet, with less laughter and chatter. Everyone worked in silence, and there were fewer women chatting at the village entrance. Only some children were still playing carefree.

Li Xiuxiu only stayed in the village for one night and returned to Pingjiang the next day. She was still feeling guilty and afraid that her parents would find out if she stayed too long. She didn't even eat breakfast before taking Ye Qingqing and Bruno away in a taxi.

The taxi driver was very responsible and also lived in the village. After arriving in the city, Li Xiuxiu paid him, and the three of them took the train home. Only after boarding the train did Li Xiuxiu breathe a sigh of relief.

She'll definitely go home again after she's fully recovered; she won't go back until she's cured.

Back in Pingjiang, Ye Qingqing reported the trip to the old lady and the others. They were very pleased to hear that Li Xiuxiu and Bruno were together.

"Bruno is a good guy. He's a true friend in need. They should be a good couple for a long time."

"How is Li Shanxing doing? Doesn't she feel any remorse?" Gu Nianci couldn't help but ask.

Ye Qingqing sneered, "How could she possibly feel guilty? Right in front of us, she even tried to smear Sister Xiuxiu. If she hadn't produced the hospital's examination report, this matter wouldn't have been resolved so easily."

Gu Nianci shook her head and sighed, "How did this child turn out like this?"

Ye Qingqing couldn't stand these words and retorted angrily, "Grandma, you're wrong. Li Shanxing is just like that by nature. She's never been a good person. And that Aunt Xu, I misjudged her too. This whole family is no good."

Gu Nianci looked embarrassed. She had indeed misjudged Li Shanxing. She had even spoken ill of her granddaughter before because of Li Shanxing. Her judgment of people was indeed poor. However, Li Shanxing was indeed a scoundrel.

A week later, Ye Qingqing received a call from Li Xiuxiu, who told her about the village's medical examination results.

“Everyone else is fine, but Li Shanxing’s whole family was infected, including her younger brother and sister-in-law. None of them were spared.” Li Xiuxiu’s tone was not happy; this was not the result she wanted.

Li Shanxing's younger brother is getting married, and her younger sister is in high school. Now that she has this disease, it is feared that the marriage will fall through and she will be unable to continue her studies.

"How could they all get infected? The doctor should have given instructions, and Li Shanxing should have known them herself. How could she be so careless?" Ye Qingqing found it strange. As long as one is careful, it wouldn't be so easy to get infected even if they live together.
