Chapter 80 The Fight Begins
"Mom, stop fighting." The tall Ma Qijun stood up and pulled the two men apart with one hand each.
Wang Lan angrily shook off the hair she had grabbed in her hands. There was a whole handful of hair there.
"Mom, don't be angry, let's just let it go." Ye Xiaomei said in a soft voice.
Wang Lan's arrogance gradually subsided, and she waved her hand and said, "I tell you, Wang Minzhi, if it weren't for my daughter-in-law, I would tear your face to pieces."
Ye Xiaolin, who was standing by, was stunned with fear. All she could think about was what to do next, her reputation, her child... She didn't even focus on the fact that her mother was beaten.
Wang Minzhi was not willing to be outdone. She had already lost face in front of her fellow villagers, but this was not a big deal.
With his hands on his hips, he pointed at Wang Lan and said, "Come on, come on, tear it here. If you have the guts, beat me to death. Otherwise, I will burn your house down in the middle of the night while I am still alive."
"Hey, say another word to me." Wang Lan was about to confront him, but fortunately Ma Qijun held her back.
"Uncle Liang, you heard it too." Ye Xiaomei said softly, "If my house really caught fire, you would know who did it."
"..." Ma Qijun looked at his wife in surprise. Her little face was full of a serious expression. He really didn't expect that this weak girl could so calmly catch the opponent's handle at this time.
Good fellow, with just these words, Wang Minzhi, who was about to start a fight, was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that she had said the wrong thing:
"Who, who said that, I was just joking." Who can guarantee that there won't be a fire in his kitchen someday?
"Alright, alright, stop making a fuss. This matter is over. Xiaolin, it's not easy for Director Feng to come here. If you have anything to say, take this opportunity to tell her."
Ye Xiaolin and Wang Minzhi knew exactly what Liang Guodong was hinting at.
This child is not Ma Qijun's, so there must be a clue, it's impossible for a woman to get pregnant by herself.
After saying this, Liang Guodong picked up the teacup and left.
Then, everyone left the brigade yard one after another.
"What is this all about?"
"That's right. After all this time, Xiaolin is pregnant with a bastard."
"That's right. Let's call the village chief to hold a meeting. Now we don't have to stab people in the back. They will poke their eyes out in front of us."
"That's right. He was just blind and took off his pants to look at the sky. In the end, he got a shit pot and banged his head on it."
"That's right, the two old ladies of the Ye family are really good at making trouble."
Rumors were like knives, and Wang Minzhi felt that the way the villagers looked at her and her mother were like cutting flesh.
Li Cuilan went to the canteen to draw cards for a full half month, and Ye Xiaolin had locked herself in the east room for more than ten days.
"Minzhi, what are you doing lying at home? Have you harvested beans and planted corn?"
Li Cuilan hurried her to work in the fields.
Wang Minzhi had no choice but to carry a hoe every time. As long as she saw someone working in the fields near her home, she would turn around and head up the mountain. She would wait until they finished their work and went home at noon before she would rush over to dig a few more weeds.
Watermelon field.
Zhao Mei did not attend the meeting. Firstly, she didn't know what it was about, and secondly, she had to farm, pick up the children, raise sheep and rabbits by herself.
More than ten days passed before Zhao Mei learned about the incident from her fellow villagers.
"Xiao Mei, you said I was really confused all these years. How come I couldn't see that your aunt's family had bad intentions?"
The incident has passed, but Zhao Mei still sighs from time to time: "Wouldn't it be better for him to live a down-to-earth life?"
"Mom is right. We can live a good life if no one bullies us. But if someone really rides on our necks and poops and pees on us, we can't endure it like we did before."
Ye Xiaomei stuffed a handful of grass into the rabbit cage, leaned on her knees and carefully observed the three lips. The little rabbits were now as big as a soup basin, round and plump, and their fur looked more and more pleasing:
"If we keep forbearing, others will think we are easy to bully, and then they will make plans to bully us."
"Isn't it?" Zhao Mei touched her daughter's head and said, "Xiao Mei, you have grown up."
Xiao Mei smiled and said nothing more, but Zhao Mei slapped her thigh in surprise:
"By the way, the day before yesterday Li Dazui lent me half a pound of corn seeds. I have to go and get them back, or she'll say she forgot about it after a while."
As he said this, he swung his arms and walked out of the yard.
Only after Zhao Mei came back happily in the evening with half a pound of corn seeds did Ye Xiaomei go home.
Who knew that he would meet Wang Juan who had just got off work. As soon as she saw Ye Xiaomei, she got off her bike in advance and waited for her at the intersection.
Ye Xiaomei also noticed Wang Juan in the setting sun.
"Ye Xiaomei, even though that incident happened half a month ago, you must clarify it for me."
Wang Juan spoke first.
"Clarify what?" Ye Xiaomei was confused.
Wang Juan originally disliked Ye Xiaomei, but it was only after she saw Director Li being respectful to her half a month ago that she began to have a desire to get close to her.
Ye Xiaolin went to the hospital for an abortion yesterday. She and the obstetrician and gynecologist had to follow the procedures and persuade her not to have an abortion if possible, especially since this was her first child and not an extra birth.
Who would have thought that Ye Xiaolin would be mad at him? She said that all this was caused by Wang Juan. How could she be blamed for this? She was just a nurse in the hospital and she hadn't even been promoted to a regular employee.
In order to be successfully converted to a permanent employee, she naturally had to complete her work properly and said that she was here on orders. However, Ye Xiaolin didn't believe her and even said that he would break off all ties with her.
"I know you have a good relationship with Director Li of our hospital, but you can't cheat me. Now Ye Xiaolin doesn't believe that I came to testify for you because of work needs, and she insists that I harmed her. You have to come with me to talk to your cousin about this matter."
As he said this, he was about to grab Ye Xiaomei's arm and pull her towards the Ye family.
Ye Xiaomei shook off her hand: "You said it yourself that it is your basic job. Even if Zhang San or Li Si needs you, you have to go, so this matter has nothing to do with me."
After saying this, Ye Xiaomei left.
Wang Juan, who didn't react in time, looked at the twisting weak figure and fell into confusion.
She and Ye Xiaolin are classmates, both 25 years old. She is more than six years older than Ye Xiaomei, so it is not an exaggeration to say that she has watched her grow up.
Ye Xiaomei, who has always been cowardly, can't do anything even if she tries hard. She is so good at scheming and she hides it very well.
"Ye Xiaomei."
Ye Xiaomei stopped and turned around, waiting for Wang Juan to speak.
"I have something else to tell you." Wang Juan pushed her bicycle and chased after him a few steps.
Ye Xiaomei didn't ask any more questions and just listened to Wang Juan talk while walking home.
"Let's not talk about your cousin. I just want to ask you, your relationship with Director Li is not ordinary, right?"
Wang Juan thought about her promotion to a regular employee. She could easily talk to her master in the obstetrics and gynecology department, but the final decision after the nomination every year still had to be signed by Director Li.
Ye Xiaomei was slightly stunned. She knew Director Li because of Brother Ma. Later, when she was teased by Zhang Changjiang, he helped her.
Considering what happened half a month ago, Ye Xiaomei still had a good impression of Director Li. At least he was an upright person:
“It’s just an acquaintance.”
Wang Juan was a little disappointed when she heard this: "Not only that, I saw you chatting with Director Li in the office for a long time every time you went there, and some patients who had registered with him were transferred to other doctors."
Ye Xiaomei did not answer because she didn't understand why Wang Juan's expression changed so quickly.
Wang Juan was a little embarrassed, thinking that Ye Xiaolin's matter had affected their communication, so she was still unwilling to confess:
"Xiao Mei, Ye Xiaolin really deserves what she has done. I also advised her to find Director Feng and explain her true situation. Maybe Director Feng can help her adjust."
When saying this, Wang Juanxi looked at Ye Xiaomei and said, "Actually, let me tell you a secret. Ye Xiaolin is not pregnant with Ma Qijun's child." This will definitely bring up something to talk about with her.
