Chapter 16 If I can't marry you, I can still marry you
The woman was wearing a headscarf and had an IV in her hand. When she saw the nurse was about to leave, she quickly pulled the person to ask for information.
"Comrade, is this all true? Isn't it said that Captain Huo in your army has a bad temper? Every time we see him, he always has a sullen face. How dare the comrade named Xia Mi marry him?"
Others followed suit.
"That's right. If this is known to everyone, which man would want her?"
The nurse wanted to say something but stopped herself. Thinking of what happened to Dr. Li last time, she decided it would be better for her to be careful with her words and actions.
"I don't know. I'm in the hospital all day and I don't know much about what's going on outside." After saying that, the nurse stood up and checked the infusion bottle. After confirming that there was no problem, she left with the tray.
As soon as the nurse left, the people inside became even more unscrupulous. Several of them lived nearby and had some understanding of the situation in the army.
"It is said that soldiers have bad tempers, and Captain Huo must be even worse. He might be a dark devil. Female comrades will have a hard time in the future."
After hearing this description, everyone inside and outside the house was worried for Xia Mi.
As time went by, the rumors became more and more outrageous.
Fu Ming walked into the house and hurriedly explained, "Aunts, you misunderstood. Xia Mi didn't do what you thought. She just dragged me ashore and didn't do anything else."
"Rumors stop with the wise. Stop talking nonsense. I'm not afraid as a man, but you are women, and you know better than me how much harm these rumors can cause to others."
Fu Mingyi spoke sternly, his face serious and his eyes determined.
"This... you fainted, how do you know if someone kissed you? Besides, I heard that girl is pretty. If she can't marry Captain Huo, she can marry you, Fu Ming."
Someone joked that everyone watched Fu Ming grow up.
The nurse who was helping in the infusion room just now started throbbing with fear when she heard these words.
I couldn't help but sigh that these people should really be grateful that they were just ordinary people, otherwise these words would not have reached the ears of Captain Huo.
She shook her head and said, "She is so brave!" Fu Ming frowned, showing his dissatisfaction with this. "No need, I will explain it one last time. I am not drowning, and Xia Mi did not kiss me!"
Seeing that he was angry, the others coaxed him.
"Yes, yes, you didn't kiss, haha, stop being angry."
"That's right, we didn't say we didn't believe you."
Fu Ming was so angry that he left. He walked out of the hospital, and the more he thought about it, the more upset he became. He scratched his head angrily, and his heart was in a mess. -Xia Mi changed into her boots and prepared to go to the beach, but the big sister at the guesthouse called her.
"Comrade, Captain Huo asked me to tell you that there will be a strong wind today, so don't go to the beach. If you get blown away, he will be left without a wife."
The older sister at the guesthouse laughed and teased Xia Mi.
"Captain Huo really loves you, but it is indeed windy here often, so you should just stay around here and don't go to the beach."
Xia Mi nodded, "Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome. Captain Huo has done a lot to protect our island over the years. Now he's getting married, and I'm really happy for him."
The lady from the guesthouse was sitting at the door, also wearing a scarf, with dark skin, a pair of bright eyes, wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and a look of vicissitudes.
"Did he accomplish many military feats?"
Xia Mi has always been curious about Huo Jingchen.
She sat on a small wooden stool nearby and listened quietly to her elder sister talking about Huo Jingchen's life on the island.
"Not only that, in our area, in the early days, there were green-eyed, blue-eyed, and golden curly-haired foreigners coming back, and then there were pirates. They came every now and then to kidnap people and steal things. Anyway, they came to take whatever they needed."
"It was Captain Huo and his men who drove them away. Over the years, most of the pirates have been captured or killed. Last year, another wave came, but they were eventually wiped out. It's a pity that Captain Fu died."
Xia Mi was in a heavy mood and her emotions were infected.
I don’t know how long it took, but when the eldest sister was reminiscing about the past, Xia Mi got to know Huo Jingchen again through the past she was talking about.
"Aunt Lanhua, I want to ask if Comrade Xia Mi lives in the guesthouse?"
After a period of ideological struggle, Fu Ming decided to come to Xia Mi to apologize.
Xia Mi was at the door. She looked at Fu Ming and asked, "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Fu Ming looked at Xia Mi. She was looking up at him with her clear and lively eyes.
"I came here to thank you and apologize to you."
When Fu Ming saw Xia Mi, he stuttered and had to bow quickly to avoid looking into her eyes.
"I can understand thanking you, but what about an apology?"
Xia Mi didn't understand what he meant.
Aunt Lanhua also brought a stool for Fu Ming, "Ah Ming, sit down and talk slowly."
Fu Ming tactfully told Xia Mi the gossip he heard in the hospital and apologized sincerely.
"I'm sorry to have caused you trouble. If I had known this would happen, I would never have dragged you down and I shouldn't have swum back."
Fu Ming lowered his head in frustration, too ashamed to face Xia Mi.
There was too much information that he shouldn't have swam back, and Xia Mi couldn't help but speculate that he might have committed suicide.
"You are not the one who should apologize. It's just that we all overestimated the cognition of this group of people."
This group of people spent most of their lives on the island.
Their focus is not that CPR can save lives, but that CPR will cause a woman to be burdened with rumors.
Fu Ming asked worriedly, "Will Captain Huo misunderstand?"
The conversation between the group of aunts inside just now really scared him.
"No, he gave me a prize for being a good person and doing good deeds yesterday. He was so grateful to me for saving you that he couldn't wait to think about such a small matter."
Xia Mi smiled slightly and let the matter go in a relaxed tone.
Fu Ming finally put his heart at ease and left after expressing his gratitude again. -The Huo Family in the Imperial Capital.
Ever since the telegram from Zhuifeng Island arrived, the atmosphere in the Huo family dropped to freezing point, and the four of them sat in the hall without saying a word.
Father Huo tried his best to suppress his anger, veins bulged on his forehead, and his patience had reached its limit.
Mrs. Huo sighed continuously, and became annoyed after just one look at the telegram. She turned her head away and sulked.
Brother Huo was more curious, wondering what kind of lesbian could make his rebellious brother get married so desperately.
The second sister Huo's eyes sparkled, and she was also interested in her brother's wife, but she was happy that the Huo family finally had a new woman besides her and her mother! Each family member had their own concerns.
Huo Jingchen didn't know yet that his decision had caused a huge storm in his own family.
"Boss, what do you say we should do?"
Brother Huo is a steady person and acts calmly and composedly, but he is helpless when facing his younger brother.
It’s just because Huo Jingchen is too good at sophistry and has no shame.
"It's a done deal. I think it's better to go along with Jingchen. Otherwise, given his personality, I'm afraid he won't be willing to return to the capital to develop."
Second Sister Huo also agreed and couldn't wait to see her sister-in-law.
"Mom and Dad, my eldest brother and I have the same idea. Jingchen is not easily persuaded by soft tactics, but he may not be unwilling to be persuaded by soft tactics now. Otherwise, why don't we start with my sister-in-law and ask her to persuade Jingchen to come back?"
After hearing the solutions proposed by her son and daughter, Mrs. Huo almost fainted.
"No, I can't accept a woman of unknown origin as my daughter-in-law. Besides, Xiao Ran is already on her way to see your brother.
Calculating the time, she will arrive in one day. If she arrives on the island and finds out that your brother is married, what if something happens to the child?"
The book should be put on the test, I hope those who like it will not hoard it for the time being, please recommend and vote for it QAQ (End of this chapter)
