Chapter 192 Gaining Trust
"Xiao Hai, you've been busy for so long, take a break and don't exhaust yourself."
The villagers handed Xiao Hai a glass of water. He took it, drank it all, and wiped the sweat from his head.
"It's okay. Even though I can't remember my name or where I live, since you guys saved me and brought me here, it's okay to do what I can."
After hearing what he said, the villagers had a better impression of him. "It's okay. It doesn't matter if you can't remember. You'll eventually remember who you are."
"Didn't Doctor Su tell you that you might have been under too much stress before, which is why you temporarily lost your memory. You need to recover from this process."
After Su Jinhui returned to the island, Yan Li'an had not come here yet due to military reasons.
In the evening, Su Jinhui got off work at the military hospital. She had just left the hospital building and was walking towards home when she met Xiao Hai at the intersection.
He was holding a few salted duck eggs in his hand. When he saw Su Jinhui, a shy smile suddenly appeared on his face. He waved to Su Jinhui and said, "Doctor Su, I'm here."
Xiao Hai excitedly approached Su Jinhui with a salted duck egg in his hand. "The sun is almost setting. What are you doing here? I heard you've been helping the villagers rebuild their houses. You've been working hard. You shouldn't be working at this hour. Why don't you go back and rest?"
"I'm not tired, and the villagers are very considerate of me. They even gave me a few salted duck eggs, but there are too many for me to finish, so I thought of bringing some to you."
"I may have remembered some things over the past few days, but they may not be that important. I just wanted to come here to thank you properly. I know it was you who suggested that the villagers keep me here to recuperate. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid others would definitely let me leave."
"You are my credit for allowing me to stay here peacefully. Although I didn't get these salted duck eggs myself, I still wanted to give you something. I hope you don't mind."
Seeing that it was the salted duck eggs that the other party sent her, Su Jinhui actually felt that he didn't need to go to such lengths. "I am a doctor. Although your whereabouts are unknown, no matter who you are, I will always save your life first. You don't have to think too much."
"Take this salted duck egg back too. I don't want to eat it."
Xiao Hai felt a little disappointed after hearing this. "Doctor Su, are you worried that I might need to find you for something, so you don't want to accept my kindness?"
"Don't worry, I don't need your help with anything. I just wanted to bring you something. If you don't like salted duck eggs, what do you like to eat?"
"People who work in the team receive a monthly allowance. After the house is rebuilt, the higher-ups will give us some money. I'll buy it for you then."
Su Jinhui frowned, but it was just a flash. Facing Xiao Hai, Su Jinhui didn't think too much, "No need, go back quickly, keep the money when you get it, you earned it with your own hard work, you don't have to give it to me."
"I'm going back first."
Su Jinhui walked past him and headed towards home. Xiao Hai lowered his hands, and his eyes gradually became clearer as he looked at Su Jinhui.
The next day, when Xiao Hai was working in the team, he heard several villagers complaining.
He didn't pay much attention at first, but when he heard someone mentioned Su Jinhui's name, he became curious and leaned in to listen.
"I'm telling you, Su Jinhui is just sincerely trying to do good things to win your favor. You usually treat her like a living Buddha, but I think she's just exaggerating."
"Why does Chen Lao Er next door get money from his superiors just for watching a man break his leg?"
"My son, Lao Wang, broke his leg. He asked his superiors, but they said our family's situation doesn't qualify for self-help and we can't get a penny. We don't know how much money our family has spent on treating his leg."
At this time, another villager suddenly said, "That person, Chen Laoer, broke his leg. It was a work-related injury. He was a former soldier and is now retired. His health is like this because of work. Logically, the superiors must give him some benefits, otherwise the family will make a fuss, right?"
"Your father Wang's leg was accidentally broken while working. It's at most a fracture, not that serious. Besides, your father Wang is just an ordinary farmer. Why should he receive subsidies from the government? Are you kidding me?"
After hearing what the villager said, the woman angrily threw down what she was holding. "You're the only one who would say that. Why do other families have it but my family doesn't? Did my Lao Wang's leg break for nothing? Even if he broke it while working, he didn't do it on purpose. Do you know how much his leg cost?"
"It's all Su Jinhui's fault for setting such a rigid condition. If it weren't for her, I would have received an allowance from my superiors long ago, and I wouldn't have to work so hard every month to come up with such a large portion of my money to treat his leg."
Xiao Hai heard all the villagers' complaints in his heart. He thought that Su Jinhui was very important in the hearts of these villagers, and some people still felt unfair.
After all, no matter how well Su Jinhui does, there will always be people who feel uncomfortable.
After lunch, everyone prepared to work together again. Xiao Hai deliberately approached the villager who was somewhat dissatisfied with Su Jinhui and suddenly said, "Doctor Su is so outstanding, and Chief of Staff Yan is away all year round. He has to handle so many things alone. It's really heartbreaking. I wonder if Chief of Staff Yan understands his hard work."
This would have been nothing, but Xiaohai happened to be a young and handsome man.
Moreover, some villagers had noticed before that he always went to find Su Jinhui, and the two of them were very close.
There were no entertainment activities in this village, so gossip became the most common topic of conversation. Su Jinhui became close to the young man, and the seeds of gossip were planted in their hearts.
After a while, everyone looked at Su Jinhui and Xiao Hai with a little different look in their eyes.
"Xiao Hai, why are you so concerned about Dr. Su?"
"But then again, Dr. Su and Yan Li'an have been married for such a long time, and there's no sign of any movement in her belly. Could it be that she's not feeling well?"
When the gossips met each other's eyes, I knew what they were planning.
"Who knows? I got pregnant within half a year when I got married before."
"But you know what? Some time ago, when they didn't leave the island, they lived together every day, and nothing seemed to happen. Could it be that Su Jinhui really doesn't like Yan Li'an?"
