When Dr. Xiao learned that Yu Rujia had come to the hospital, he came looking for her, accompanied by the hospital's director, Zhong.
Dr. Xiao said gently, "Comrade Yu is here. Your friend Comrade Guo is out of danger. He can stay in the hospital for two or three days for further observation. If there are no problems, he can be discharged."
Yu Rujia smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Dr. Xiao: "You're welcome, it's what we should do; Comrade Yu, this is Dean Zhong of our hospital. We have some things we'd like to discuss with you. Are you available now?"
Guo Xiaojie said considerately, "Rujia, go ahead. I'll chat with Sister Guihua for a while."
As the three left the ward, Dean Zhong said warmly, "I've heard about Comrade Yu for a long time and have always wanted to meet you, but I haven't had the time. In the end, we met at the hospital."
"I heard about what happened last night. Comrade Yu's medical skills are superb, he can be described as bringing the dead back to life, and he is a role model for us in the medical field."
Yu Rujia: "Professor Zhong, you flatter me. I am unworthy of the words 'bringing the dead back to life'."
Zhong Yuansheng: "Comrade Yu is humble and has outstanding medical ethics. He is exactly the kind of talent our hospital urgently needs. I wonder if he would be willing to work at our hospital?"
Yu Rujia: "Thank you for your kindness, Dean Zhong, but unfortunately I have too many children at home, the oldest of whom is only eight years old. They are at an age where they need someone to take care of them, so I cannot come here to work. I am really sorry."
In that case, it's not appropriate to insist that she continue working at the hospital.
Dean Zhong: "In that case, we will not insist. There are several patients in the hospital with particularly serious conditions. Could you please give us some guidance? We will certainly prepare a generous gift in return."
Yu Rujia: "Dean Zhong and others are all seasoned veterans with superb medical skills. It is a great honor for me, a barefoot doctor, to have the opportunity to communicate with you."
The patients that Dean Zhong asked Yu Rujia to see were all patients they had no way of dealing with. Asking her to take a look was just a last resort.
Unexpectedly, Yu Rujia pointed out the direction for treatment.
Dean Zhong sighed, regretting that they hadn't met sooner. If he had known that Yu Rujia's medical skills were so high, he should have gone to Shangfen Brigade to get to know her no matter how busy he was. He wouldn't have waited until now to discover this medical genius.
Just as the group was discussing medical techniques, a commotion outside caught their attention.
A doctor went out to find out what was going on and came back saying, "It's Dr. Xiao's patient from last night. I heard her family is making a scene."
"That must be Guo Xiaojie," Yu Rujia said. "I'll go take a look."
Dean Zhong remembered why she was there and quickly followed, saying, "Let's go together."
As Yu Rujia walked down the hospital corridor, she could hear Wei's mother and Huang Guihua arguing from a distance.
Mother Wei retorted sharply, "She married into our family, so she's one of us. What's wrong with giving her a job? Everything she has should belong to us."
Huang Guihua retorted, "Everyone says we country folk are uncouth, but I think you, a city person, are even more uncouth. We country folk don't even bring dowries."
"You city folks are something else! Once you're married in, you even confiscate your wife's dowry. Is your whole family wiped out? Are you going to rely on a married woman to support all of you able-bodied people?"
“You even beat pregnant women. In our countryside, people like you would have been arrested long ago. You bunch of ignorant people. Don’t think that just because you’re mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, you can bully your daughter-in-law with impunity.”
"The Qing Dynasty has been gone for decades. Do you still want to restore feudal society?"
Enraged, Wei's mother pointed at Wei Jianqiang and cursed, "Are you dead? I'm being insulted like this, and you're not going to hit me back?"
"I think you're the one who deserves to be hit. This isn't over yet. She's my daughter-in-law, so I can't argue with her. But I'm different. Just wait for the Guo family's revenge." This was Guo's mother, who rushed over in a menacing manner after receiving the news.
Seeing that the scene was getting more and more chaotic, Dean Zhong pushed through the crowd and walked up: "Everyone, this is a hospital, and we need to be quiet. Please go outside and make noise so as not to disturb other patients."
On the way home, Huang Guihua was still indignant about Guo Xiaojie's experience: "With a family like that, no wonder the substitutes Xiaojie found were scared away. Not to mention city people, even in our countryside, few people can withstand her abuse."
Yu Rujia: "You're really good. To deal with shameless people like that, you have to hit them where it hurts."
Huang Guihua held her own against Wei Mu in their battle just now, and her aura surged to two meters and eighty centimeters.
Yu Rujia doesn't have the patience to argue with people; she always acts faster than she talks.
Huang Guihua said smugly, "There's no shrew I can't handle."
Huang Guihua went to work in town on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year and took the opportunity to visit Guo Xiaojie.
He returned and told Yu Rujia that, thanks to the Guo family's intervention, the Wei mother and daughter were not sent to the police station, and Guo Xiaojie did not get a divorce, but they did separate their households.
The couple rented a house near the Guo family's place and moved in with their child.
With the Guo family watching over them, whenever the Wei family came to cause trouble, the Guo family would always step in to help deflect the attack.
The Guo family is the kind of family that allows their daughter to marry with a job, which shows that they are wealthy and have good manners. With their protection, Guo Xiaojie's life will be much more stable.
Yu Rujia's medical skills were registered at the hospital, and they would come to her for help when they encountered problems, but not often, at most three to five times a month.
She was also given a consultant position with a monthly salary of several tens of yuan.
The tenth day of the Lunar New Year is the day Huang Lijie and Cheng Qi get married.
Many people find it hard to believe that the two have actually gotten married.
“Lijie earns a few dozen yuan a month, why didn’t she find a worker? Instead, she chose Cheng Qi, a sent-down youth who lives on work points just like us?”
"Could she be thinking that since Cheng Zhiqing is a high school student, she might have the same opportunity to become a factory worker as her?"
"She's thinking too highly of herself. Aren't there enough high school students in the educated youth compound? Aren't they working in the fields with us too?"
"Do you think there's something wrong with Lijie?"
"Could it be that he messed around in town and ruined his reputation, forcing him to look for someone in the countryside?"
When Yu Rujia returned from the banquet, she heard the increasingly inappropriate chatter of her teammates by the roadside. She pretended to cough, startling the people who were whispering.
Not long after Huang Lijie graduated, Zhou Zhenzhen brought her to see Yu Rujia, wanting her to take her under her wing and make her a team medicine apprentice.
Yu Rujia refused, and no one ever said a bad word about her.
After Huang Lijie became a worker, she often brought food to the little ones in her family.
This family is indeed of good character, and Yu Rujia couldn't bear to watch Huang Lijie be slandered.
It takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it.
When she first arrived at Shangfen Brigade with Duofu and the others, some gossipy women in the brigade started talking about her being unmarried and raising several children, saying some really nasty things.
Fortunately, she lived long enough and had a strong enough mentality to not take it seriously.
If it were an ordinary sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, she might have been driven to despair by the rumors and gossip.
