Seeing Bai Ruanruan turn around and leave, Qiao Cuiying was afraid that the fat sheep would run away again, so she quickly got up and ran over to hold Bai Ruanruan, "No, no, I just twisted my ankle. Just take me home and rub some medicinal wine on it, and I'll be fine."
Bai Ruanruan pulled her hand back and said, "Let's go to the clinic. Spraining your ankle is no small matter. It needs proper treatment to heal quickly." She glanced at Qiao Cuiying's foot and said, "I see you can walk on your own, so why don't you go to the clinic yourself? I'm waiting for soy sauce to cook at home, so I'll leave first."
Qiao Cuiying was not willing to let her go just like that. She had been waiting for so many days and finally saw Bai Ruanruan go out alone. Moreover, Song Yun and that annoying Song Ziyi were not at home today, and even the nosy old man was not at home. She was alone, and this was a rare opportunity that she must not miss.
She grabbed Bai Ruanruan's arm and pretended to be in unbearable pain. "Ouch, just help me back and apply some medicinal wine. There's no need to go to the clinic and bother the doctor. I live over there, not far away."
Qiao Cuiying pointed out that Fang Xiao was a regimental-level officer who lived in a three-bedroom courtyard. If it were someone else, they would probably compromise without saying a word and help Qiao Cuiying go back to apply medicated wine. It was not a big deal and it was not far away.
But Bai Ruanruan always remembered Song Yun's warning, telling her not to go to other people's homes alone, no matter who she met or what reason they asked her to go, she must not go.
You should never drink food or water handed to you by someone you are not familiar with.
"Aunt, please find someone to take you home. I have something to do and can't help you." Bai Ruanruan said.
Qiao Cuiying grabbed Bai Ruan's arm and refused to let go. "Well, who can I turn to now? Besides, you were the one who bumped into me. I'm lucky I didn't hold you responsible. Is it too much to ask you to take me home and rub me with medicinal wine?"
Bai Ruanruan frowned, "Aunt, you're wrong, when did I bump into you? It was clearly you who fell to the ground."
Qiao Cuiying could no longer maintain her friendly expression and glared at Bai Ruan. "You're still saying it wasn't you? There was no one else here just now. Who else could it be if not you? You're so young, how come you've learned to lie? You hit someone and you won't admit it. Are you afraid that I'll blackmail you for medical expenses? I already said I won't go to the clinic. I just need to go back and apply some medicated wine. I don't want you to be responsible. You just help me back home and I'll be fine. Can't you do even this little thing?"
Bai Ruanruan was not a fool. The other party had been wanting her to go home, obviously with some ulterior motive. Who knew what kind of dirty things were waiting for her in that house.
"Auntie, although I don't know what you're up to, I urge you to stop now before things get out of hand and get out of control."
If Qiao Cuiying was someone who could listen to advice, she would not have had such delusions, and she would not have sat there waiting for so many days.
She grabbed Bai Ruan's arm tightly and dragged Bai Ruan towards the three-room courtyard. "You must take me back today, otherwise this matter will not be over."
This was her last chance. As long as her son could succeed with Bai Ruanruan, she and her son would not have to leave the family compound and return to their hometown, nor would they have to live under someone else's roof and depend on others for their lives. At that time, the mother and daughter would move directly to the small courtyard where Song Yun lived. There was no elder in that courtyard, so she could be the head of the family.
A rich lady like Bai Ruanruan was no match for someone like Qiao Cuiying who had been doing physical work for many years. Pulling her was like pulling a chicken. At this time, everyone in the family compound had either gone to work or was still taking a nap at home. The sun was scorching outside and no one came out. In addition, there were two women pulling each other, so even if someone in the compound heard the noise, they would be too lazy to come out to watch.
When Bai Ruanruan was anxiously preparing to hit someone with the soy sauce bottle in her hand, Si Fengnian walked into the family compound carrying a net bag of sweet melons. From a distance, he saw Bai Ruanruan being forcibly dragged somewhere by an aunt. Bai Ruanruan was obviously unwilling and was struggling hard, but could not break free.
