Time passed quickly, and Liu Ruonan had a quiet time during this period. No one came to pick on her. Mei Hong was crazy, and the old and the young were having a tantrum with Liu Dazhuang.
Later, no one knew where the mother and daughter had gone. They disappeared in the village and no one knew where they were.
Chen Guihua never came to cause trouble. Although she always spat at Liu Ruonan angrily every time she saw her on the street, Liu Ruonan no longer cared.
Originally, Liu Ruonan wanted to demolish the west house that she had won, as a way to vent her anger at Zhuang Qiang's family for driving Zhuang Sheng out.
However, after the tragedy of Xiangdong and Liu Ergou, Liu Ruonan no longer wanted to care about it.
If they could not provoke Liu Ruonan, Liu Ruonan would have regarded the hatred from the previous life as gone into thin air.
She only looked forward to the day when she could go to the city with Zhuang Sheng, away from all the grudges and complications here.
Gao Shanshan had already graduated from elementary school. She'd scored first in the entire school. This not only delighted Chen Jianmin and Gao Shu, but also Liu Ruonan and Zhuang Sheng.
The old leader sent a letter to Zhuang Sheng, and based on Gao Shanshan's grades, he arranged for her to go to the best junior high school in the provincial capital.
When Zhuang Sheng told Chen Jianmin the news, Chen Jianmin hugged Liu Ruonan and cried, and even Gao Shu hid aside and shed tears secretly.
They knew their family circumstances. In the countryside, even with excellent grades, their daughters couldn't have a bright future. But moving to the city would be different; their daughters would have more opportunities.
Liu Ruonan told Chen Jianmin about her idea and said that she would take Liu Ruonan with her to the city when she left in a few days. Gao Shanshan would be taken care of by her, so they, as parents, could rest assured.
I'll be gone in a few days.
Zhuang Sheng set up several banquet tables and invited all his relatives to come, as a farewell!
No one had expected that Zhuang Sheng would be such a promising soldier. No one had expected that Liu Ruonan would have such a promising doctor.
If they had known, when Zhuang Sheng was desperate, they would have all been vying to take care of him, right? Chen Jianguo and Chen Jianguang's wives had been secretly muttering, wondering how much Chen Jianmin had benefited from Zhuang Sheng and his wife! But even if they had benefited, they couldn't say it out loud! After all, they were the ones who were unkind first.
I can't help but feel a little emotional. Chen Jianmin is quite cunning.
Of course, besides Chen Jianmin, Chen Jianhua's family was also secretly blamed. Their son, Chen Lei, had established a close relationship with Zhuang Sheng and Liu Ruonan early on. From what Liu Ruonan and Zhuang Sheng had said, it seemed like when they left, they would not only take Gao Shanshan with them, but Chen Lei as well!
This made them feel a little unbalanced.
But Chen Jianguang was a man of many thoughts. He told the two women to calm down first. They were all family and would help each other sooner or later. They should just let the past things settle down and move on.
Besides, even if Liu Ruonan went to the city, she wouldn't know what she would become. You know, cities are very different from rural areas. Her medical skills might be very successful in the village, but it would be a different story in the provincial capital.
No matter how capable Liu Ruonan is, she is just a woman after all. Is it really possible for her to make a name for herself? If Liu Ruonan really succeeds, it won't be too late to find her!
At that time, Liu Ruonan was already a person of status, and she couldn't just refuse when her relatives from her hometown came to visit her.
The two women heard Chen Jianguang's analysis and couldn't help but feel that it made sense, so they reluctantly agreed. Even though they were still a little uncomfortable in their hearts, they still maintained a friendly attitude towards Liu Ruonan.
Li Ping's attitude towards Liu Ruonan was completely different from usual. She had never expected that her silly son, who usually seemed foolish and naive, could actually be quite independent when it came to serious matters. Fortunately, he had decided to follow Liu Ruonan at the time; now, he had found a way out for himself!
In the countryside, by the age of 25, a woman would have already been married and had children. Chen Lei, being silly and burly, always gave off a fierce vibe. He had been tried for a wife over the years, but none of them worked out.
Maybe this time I go to the city with Liu Ruonan and find a city wife! Thinking of this, Li Ping felt happy.
Chen Wanglong and Tian Ni were also very happy. Zhuang Sheng was able to stand up again, which was a blessing in disguise. They did not expect Liu Ruonan to have her own abilities. The old couple only hoped that the two of them would live happily in the city in the future.
The next day, a banquet was held to entertain the village chief and the neighbors. Those who were close to Chen Jianmin's family came, and even those who weren't came to join in the fun. Zhuang Sheng and Liu Ruonan didn't mind; they just wanted to have fun, didn't they?
Zhuang Qiang's family didn't come, and seeing their son now successful, but enjoying the glory of someone else's family, how could they not feel upset? He had a big fight with Chen Guihua, and Chen Guihua scratched him all over!
How could Chen Guihua accept this? Now that he was fine, he regretted it and put all the blame on her. He had agreed to it in the beginning.
But no matter how much the couple quarreled, what could change? Their own flesh and blood had become someone else's after all.
While Liu Ruonan was toasting, she saw a little head looking into the yard.
Wasn't that child Zhuang Qiang's youngest son, Lai Di? Lai Di was still young, only nine years old, and he was confused to see his older brother, who was supposed to be his brother, no longer close to him. Plus, with such a lively scene, what child wouldn't want to join in the fun? Many children from the village came.
But he couldn't! Because his mother said that if he dared to come, she would break his legs.
Liu Ruonan waved to Zhuang Laidi, signaling him to come in. But Laidi opened his big, innocent eyes and shook his head firmly.
Zhuang Sheng happened to see Liu Ruonan's actions, so he followed her gaze and saw Zhuang Laidi standing at the gate.
Zhuang Sheng took Liu Ruonan's hand and walked in front of Zhuang Laidi. When Zhuang Laidi saw them coming, he straightened up, lowered his head, and clenched the corner of his clothes with his small hands, making them wrinkled.
"Come in, brother, and have dinner." Zhuang Sheng stood straight with the demeanor of a soldier.
Zhuang Laidi shook his head.
Liu Ruonan knew that Chen Guihua must have made such instructions beforehand. But he was still a child after all, so how could he be blinded by hatred?
Liu Ruonan returned to the table and broke off a large chicken drumstick and handed it to Zhuang Laidi. Zhuang Laidi refused to take it at first, but under Liu Ruonan's gentle gaze, he finally took it.
Liu Ruonan squatted down and looked at Zhuang Laidi with tenderness in her eyes.
