At the same time, a sharp pain shot through his head, and he remembered what had happened before. His face turned deathly pale, and he cried out in terror, "Did my head explode?"
Upon hearing the voice, Shen Jianguo jumped up, both surprised and delighted: "You're awake! That's wonderful! Is there anything else that's bothering you? I'll go call the doctor."
Song Jianshe frowned and said weakly, "My head hurts, it hurts so much."
Yu Yuehua and Yu Shan, who had just returned from dinner, heard the noise inside the house and hurriedly pushed open the door. Seeing that Song Jianshe had already woken up, they rushed over and asked, "You're awake. How are you feeling now?"
Yu Yuehua reacted quickly, turning around and running towards the nurses' station to call the doctor.
The doctor bent down and focused intently on performing various examinations on Song Jianshe, sometimes gently pressing his head and sometimes carefully observing his pupil reactions. After a series of meticulous procedures, he straightened up and said, "He's fine now, but he's weak and still needs to be properly nourished."
Upon hearing this, Song Jianshe instantly recalled the image of himself falling, a calculating glint flashed in his eyes, and then he winced in pain, his features contorted, and said in a tearful voice, "Doctor, are you really alright? My head hurts terribly, I feel nauseous, and my vision is blurry."
His expression suggested he was suffering immense torment.
Upon hearing this, the doctor's previously relaxed brows furrowed slightly again, and he began a more comprehensive and in-depth examination of Song Jianshe.
While examining Song Jianshe, the doctor asked him about all sorts of subtle feelings, not overlooking any possible symptoms.
After a long while, the doctor straightened up and concluded: "Concussion. The patient needs to rest and recuperate." The doctor looked at Yu Shan, after all, among this group, Yu Shan was the most authoritative elder.
By this time, the villagers and other educated youth had already embarked on their journey home.
In the hospital, only Yu Shan and his son Yu Yuehua, along with Shen Jianguo, remained.
Even Wan Chun'er and Wang Xiao went back with the main group.
As Wan Chun'er was leaving, she frantically rummaged through her pockets, pulled out all the money she had, and handed it to Yu Shan with a flustered and guilty expression. Her hand trembled slightly, and her voice was tinged with tears: "Uncle, I'm really sorry this time. Please take this money and use it to pay for Song Jianshe's medical treatment. If it's not enough, I'll find another way."
Her eyes were filled with fear; clearly, this incident had terrified her.
Wang Xiao only took out one yuan, but with red eyes, he said, "I... I only have this much money left. I'm going back. I'll think of a way... I'll borrow..."
In reality, however, he had his own ulterior motives.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Wan Chun'er cried out, "Who are you going to borrow from! If you could borrow money, you wouldn't be starving like this."
Then, he whispered, "I'll figure out the money myself."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
As soon as he returned to the educated youth settlement, Wang Yindi was already waiting there.
The heavy snow continued to fall today, and in the hazy snow, Wang Yindi saw Wang Xiao's figure and immediately went to greet him.
Her eyes were full of concern. She first checked Wang Xiao over and, after confirming that nothing was wrong, glared at Wan Chun'er and then pulled Wang Xiao to a secluded corner.
Wang Yindi carefully examined Wang Xiao from head to toe again, her hands unconsciously patting his body to make sure he wasn't injured. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and say, "Why are the female educated youths at your settlement like this? They're like crazy women. Did they hurt you?"
Wang Xiao's eyes instantly reddened, and her voice choked with sobs: "Yin Di, I'm sorry, this is all my fault, if it weren't for me..."
As he spoke, he lowered his head, his long bangs obscuring the fleeting smugness in his eyes.
Wang Xiao tearfully recounted his ordeal, embellishing his story with exaggerated details. Wang Yindi listened with heartache, pulling him into her arms and comforting him, "It's alright, it's alright, it's not a big deal. It's all Liu Yihong's fault. If he hadn't refused, would this have happened?"
"If you ask me, you're just too kind. Those houses were originally for educated youth, not for Liu Yihong. You should have just moved in. Why did you have to ask him?"
"And what is Wan Chun'er up to? Has she been colluding with that Song Jianshe all along? Is she deliberately framing you this time?"
As Wang Xiao listened, a subtle, almost imperceptible smile crept onto his lips. He sneered inwardly: "As expected, a woman's heart is the most poisonous!"
He listened quietly to Wang Yindi's various foul and harsh curses without uttering a sound, occasionally nodding slightly in response.
When Wang Yindi finished cursing and stopped to catch her breath, Wang Xiao, with red eyes, looked into the distance, her eyes full of sorrow: "Now, everyone thinks that I caused this, I... I don't even have the face to stay in the educated youth settlement anymore."
As she spoke, her eyes filled with tears, and she looked at Wang Yindi with misty eyes. Her pitiful appearance melted Wang Yindi's heart.
Wang Yindi tiptoed, trying to wipe away the tears from Wang Xiao's eyes. Her fingernails were grime-black, as if they were filled with dirt.
Wang Xiao noticed her movement, and the thought of those dark fingernails made his face turn deathly pale. He still pretended to be affectionate and grabbed Wang Yindi's outstretched hand, saying, "Yindi, you're all I have now."
"For the sake of our happiness, I offended everyone else in the educated youth settlement."
Wang Yindi looked at the hand that was being held, her face flushed with happiness.
Her dark, pockmarked face looked even worse when she blushed, a dark reddish-black, and paired with her messy curly hair, Wang Xiao couldn't bear to look at her, and his gaze involuntarily drifted away.
He feigned a sigh, "I have no idea how they're going to make things difficult for me tonight."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yindi was immediately furious: "They've treated you like that, why are you still going back to the educated youth settlement?"
Wang Xiao lowered his head and remained silent, as if he were having a fierce internal struggle.
Wang Yindi, however, imagined everything and suddenly said loudly, "Let's get married today. Come to my house with me now."
As she spoke, she reached out and pulled Wang Xiao towards her home.
Wang Xiao stood rooted to the spot, not moving an inch: "Let's not. Our house isn't ready yet. If I go back with you now, your parents will be unhappy."
Wang Yindi shook her head nonchalantly and patted her chest to assure him, "What's the big deal? I've already cleaned up our house. Don't worry, I will never let you suffer any more grievances."
"From now on, although we'll live under the same roof, we'll keep to ourselves except for meals, so don't worry." She said, a happy smile spreading across her face.
Hmph! She'll definitely be happy from now on, and she'll show all those who looked down on her how good her man is.
Wang Xiao was secretly delighted; this was exactly what he wanted to hear.
