"What military marriage? Is it true or not?"
"Yingzi found a partner who is a soldier in the army? Isn't he talking about a labor camp inmate on the farm?"
"What do you mean by 'reform through labor'? He's just a soldier! Yesterday, that soldier drove over to take Yingzi home. He looked so energetic!"
When everyone present heard what Bai Ying said, they started a crazy discussion about it. The discussion was so heated, even more passionate than their own affairs.
Chu Xianglan quickly winked at Bai Ying. "My dear girl, if your boasting is exposed, there will be no end to it..."
There was a hint of helplessness in Bai Ying's eyes.
No, these days no one believes the truth, right? She really didn't lie.
"fart!"
Old Lady Bai naturally wasn't happy to see Bai Ying showing off, so she quickly jumped in and said, "How come I didn't know you were married? To a soldier at that? Just to disobey an elder like me, you can even lie like this. You're so young, you have no shame!"
"Oh, so you were lying to us?" Hearing what Old Lady Bai said, Cai's mother's fear when she heard about the military marriage instantly disappeared. "Just by talking to you, you said you were getting married, so you're really getting married? If you have the guts, take out the marriage certificate!"
Although she was a little old lady from the countryside and had never seen the world, she knew that marrying a soldier required filing a marriage report with the army and also reviewing the marriage partner. How could it be so easy to get a marriage certificate?
In her opinion, Bai Ying was clearly trying to intimidate them and scare them away! She wouldn't be fooled!
Seeing that Old Lady Bai and Cai's mother were talking endlessly like clowns, Bai Ying's eyes became more vicious. "Isn't it just a marriage certificate? Fine, then I'll let you die knowing the truth!"
As he spoke, Bai Ying reached into the shoulder bag he was carrying, and then... found nothing.
Bai Ying then remembered that when she went to the farm to find Chen Ao this morning, she showed him the marriage certificate, and Chen Ao took it away and did not return it to her.
“…”It’s a bit difficult.
Seeing that Bai Ying couldn't produce the marriage certificate, Cai's mother immediately became excited. "Can't produce it? We knew you were lying to us! Since you're not married, come home with us quickly! Don't delay the good day of getting married!"
Old Lady Bai nodded repeatedly in agreement, "That's right!"
Cai Dabao, who was pinned to the ground by the militiamen, also struggled hard, "Let me go! I want my wife! I want to take my wife home!"
"Be quiet! You want to take our team members away? Have you gotten permission from me, the director of public security?"
The person who made the sound was an old man in his sixties. He picked up the walking stick in his hand and hit Cai Dabao on the shoulder.
He came with the militia and was the brigade's security director in charge of managing the militia. His surname was Cui. He had participated in battles in his early years. After demobilization, he returned to Liushu Village and became the village's security director, responsible for the village's public security issues.
Bai Ying's clinic was near his office, so of course he knew Bai Ying.
The new barefoot doctor had been working for more than a month. He was careful, responsible, and knowledgeable. He had a good impression of Bai Ying and naturally did not want to see Bai Ying being harassed by these rogues.
Moreover, if Bai Ying was really taken away by the Cai family mother and son, who would their team go to for treatment when they got sick in the future? I'm afraid it would be difficult to find another barefoot doctor as conscientious and responsible as Bai Ying.
He really decided to take care of this trivial matter!
Bai Ying glanced at the director of public security and thanked him sincerely, "Grandpa Cui, thank you for speaking up for me."
In her previous life, the director of public security had brought militiamen to protect her and spoke for her. No matter what the reason was, whether it was because he didn't want the village to lose a barefoot doctor or something, she remembered this kindness.
The director of public security shook his head. "Why are you being so polite, kid? I'm in charge of the village's public security. I've already sent someone to find Secretary Liu. As long as we're here today, we won't let them take you away!"
Chu Xianglan was so moved that she thanked him repeatedly.
With the support of the brigade, Bai Ying looked at Cai's mother with a cold face, "Yes, you paid a hundred yuan for the betrothal gift, but I didn't take the betrothal gift, and I didn't spend a penny. So I don't recognize this marriage. Whoever took your money should go after him!"
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Bai was furious.
Even at her advanced age, she showed no sign of weakness. She pinched her waist and angrily scolded with full energy, "You little bitch! I'm your grandmother, so of course I have the final say on your marriage! Besides, the family I found for you is so good, you're going to enjoy a good life once you enter their house, so don't be so ungrateful!"
Hearing this, Bai Ying couldn't help but laugh, "Grandma, why don't you get married when it's such a good match? Grandpa has been dead for so many years anyway, it's time for you to find a companion."
“Puff!”
A burst of laughter came from the crowd. Those who were watching the fun always wanted to stir up trouble, and they all picked up the topic and started gossiping.
"That's fine, since it's Old Lady Bai who collected the money, then she can just marry him!"
"A fool and an old lady, don't look down on each other."
"They're a perfect match! They're a perfect match! Hahahaha..."
The malicious looks from those around her made Old Lady Bai so angry that she almost had a cerebral hemorrhage. She didn't dare argue with those who gossiped about her, and could only point at Bai Ying, "You, you, you... you unfilial descendant!"
There are many rules in rural areas of Shandong Province. The most important one is that the words of the elders are like imperial decrees, and the younger generations are not allowed to talk back. Those who talk back will face criticism.
However, I don’t know if it’s because Old Mrs. Bai no longer behaves like an elder, but when Bai Ying contradicted her, not only did no one speak up for her, but everyone else laughed at her.
Ever since her husband died and Old Lady Bai became the head of the Bai family, she has never suffered such injustice!
All the younger generations of the Bai family coaxed her humbly, just like coaxing Empress Dowager Cixi, but Bai Ying, the granddaughter, actually didn't give her any face?
Old Mrs. Bai was almost mad with anger. Her body was swaying in the cold wind, as if she would fall to the ground at any moment.
Seeing this, Qiao Xiaoling quickly supported Old Lady Bai and kept trying to calm her down. Her pretty face was filled with anger as she looked at Bai Ying, "Bai Ying! How dare you talk to Grandma like that? Do you still respect me as an elder? Apologize to me now!"
"Oh?" Bai Ying raised the corner of her mouth and said with interest, "If elders are really that important to you, then I remember you are two years younger than me, so you should call me cousin. Is this bossy attitude you have now, really how you treat your elders?"
“……!”
Qiao Xiaoling's eyes widened, and with her limited vocabulary, she was speechless for a moment.
Is it her fault that she didn't read enough books?
“Puff!”
Zhou Li, who followed Bai Ying, immediately smiled happily.
It was very uncomfortable to be criticized by Bai Ying before, but now it’s really interesting to watch Bai Ying criticize others!
Zhou Li chose to stand up and speak for Bai Ying. "This matter is so easy to handle. Whoever receives the betrothal gift will marry her. It's fair."
“Yo hou hou…”
The members of the cooperative also started to make a fuss, "Old Lady Bai, you are so old, why are you still so shy? Go home with your mother-in-law and your husband!"
