Bai Yajing returned to the consultation room, where Zhao Hui was already seeing patients.
After giving a greeting, she sat down and began seeing patients.
...
Liu Meiling had originally planned to go back to the countryside to visit her grandparents, but now that her friend had asked her to exchange cotton, she simply got ready early in the morning and went to catch the bus.
When they returned to the countryside, Grandpa and Grandma didn't look too good.
"Meiling, why are you back? Quick, let's go back!"
"Girl, don't come back unless it's absolutely necessary!"
The two elderly people didn't let her in; they just pushed her out the door.
Liu Meiling was completely bewildered. Her grandparents doted on her the most, and they would always greet her with sweet words when she came home! What happened today?
"Hey, grandpa and grandma, what's wrong? What happened?"
Grandpa Liu had a worried look on his face and didn't say much, he just kept pushing her out the door.
Grandma Liu opened the door and looked around to make sure no one was there before letting the old man bring the person out.
He whispered, "Get her out of here quickly, and watch her get into the car with your own eyes!"
"I understand. If... you can stall for time and I'll deal with it when I get back."
"Okay, go now!"
Even if Liu Meiling was slow to realize, she knew something had happened at home.
But she wasn't stupid; she knew she shouldn't breathe too loudly to attract attention at this time, so she quietly followed her grandfather, winding her way to the back of the mountain.
There's a shortcut to town over there, but it involves crossing mountains and valleys, which most people wouldn't dare to take.
Grandpa Liu was a hunter in his younger days, which gave him the courage to bring her here.
When they arrived in the mountains, Grandpa Liu visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Meiling, remember, don't come back to your house recently. If anyone comes to your place, ignore them and just have the security guard chase them away."
Liu Meiling didn't want to leave without knowing why; she knew something had happened at home and she couldn't just ignore it.
"Grandpa, tell me what happened? What if my parents, brother, and I get scammed by bad people if you don't tell me?"
Grandpa Liu sighed deeply and fell silent.
Liu Meiling didn't rush him, knowing he had to figure it out himself.
Grandpa Liu was also afraid that those people would really go to his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson and talk nonsense to deceive them.
She finally spoke up, "It's all because of your good-for-nothing cousin! Of all people to fall for, he had to fall for that girl from the Qian family!"
The Qian family are all bad people! That idiot in the Qian family is this age and no one wants to marry him!
He...he was set up! He was caught in bed! Sigh! Now they're pressuring him to agree to a marriage exchange! They'll report his cousin for indecent assault if they don't agree!
Your uncle and aunt didn't have any daughters, so... Ugh! It makes me so angry!
Liu Meiling was having trouble accepting this; it seemed her uncle's family had set their sights on her.
I'm so angry!
"That bastard! He made a mistake himself, and now he wants me to cover it up? That's utterly absurd!"
Grandpa, hurry, let's go!
She wasn't worried about her uncle's family at all; they weren't good people either!
"Where are you going? Huh? Uncle Liu, that's not fair of you! Your grandson slept with my daughter, and you don't want to take responsibility? Do you want to go to jail?"
Seeing the group of people catching up, Liu Meiling was so startled that she quickly grabbed her grandfather's clothes.
Grandpa Liu was so angry that he was trembling all over.
The Qian family arrived so quickly; it would be strange if it weren't for the eldest son's involvement!
"You bastard! You piece of trash! I'm going to break his legs!"
The elderly couple, Mr. and Mrs. Liu, who were hiding behind a tree at the back of the crowd, shivered a few times. They shrank back as much as possible, afraid of being seen by the old man.
They knew this road too. Today, when Sister-in-law Liu returned from washing clothes by the river, she saw Liu Meiling going to her in-laws' house next door.
Only then did he hurriedly go and find the Qian family.
