Chapter 83 A man's worth is proven by the old wooden bed that's been rocked too hard.
Of those present, only Qin Suisui, besides Mai Dong, understood the deeper meaning behind Li Yaobao's words. But before he could finish speaking, Mai Dong dislocated his jaw.
Mai Dong's eyes were sinister and terrifying at this moment. He had been searching for Xie Ting for so many years, and finally found her, but Xie Ting had been murdered by someone, and the person who murdered her was Li Yaobao, his nominal brother-in-law.
He knew that after this incident, Xie Ting could never reconcile with him, and his long-cherished wish had come to nothing.
The crux of the problem lies with Li Yaobao. Heaven knows that he has been secretly investigating what Li Yaobao has done over the years. The more he investigates, the angrier he becomes, but ironically, all of this is because he has indulged in it!
As much anger as Mai Dong felt, so much regret!
Now Li Yaobao is trying to drag Xie Ting into this mess and ruin his relationship with her. He deserves to die!
Soon, the police arrived, followed by those wearing red armbands. With two charges against them—attempted murder and adultery—everyone knew that Li Yaobao and Li Chunmei were doomed.
No matter how much trouble Li Yaobao's mother caused, she was too scared to speak in front of the police officers and those wearing red armbands.
After the person was taken away, along with Li Yaobao's mother, the two brigade leaders also collapsed into despair. Now, forget about being recognized as an advanced brigade; for the next few years, their brigades probably won't even be eligible for any awards.
However, Mai Defu, the captain of the Bright Peak Brigade, quickly perked up again because he saw Qin Suisui!
How could he forget! Qin Suisui is now the village's benefactor! As long as he cooperates with her to make a name for himself in cultivating medicinal herbs, who will care about a woman who's been caught having an affair! Productivity is the only thing that matters!
With the two individuals arrested, the others naturally dispersed.
Qian Mei came to her senses and insisted that Qian Rencai ask the police to help him divorce Li Chunmei.
Even without his daughter saying anything, Qian Rencai had the same idea! Having a wife like that would only affect his daughter's future!
Qin Suisui watched in amazement. Qian Mei was only 12 years old, but she handled things very decisively, even though the other party was her own mother. Many adults could not match such courage.
Wait a minute, why does the name Qian Mei sound so familiar?
Qian Mei, Qian Mei… That’s right! She remembered!
In the original book, after the male protagonist Zhou Zecheng inherited the Qin family's business, he kept a low profile in the early stages. It wasn't until after 1978, when the policies became more and more relaxed, that many of the Qin family's pharmacies were able to see the light of day again. The person who helped Zhou Zecheng manage these pharmacies was a girl named Qian Mei!
Qian Mei in the book is not only capable, but also very resourceful! The Qin family has both Chinese and Western medicine pharmacies, but more Chinese medicine pharmacies. Originally, the managers of the Chinese medicine pharmacies were all elderly people trusted by the parents, so they were naturally not convinced by Zhou Zecheng, an outsider. However, under Qian Mei's management, these old managers quickly changed their attitude and treated Zhou Zecheng with the same loyalty as they treated the Qin family. Moreover, under Qian Mei's management, these pharmacies quickly opened chain stores all over China, and even expanded to Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas.
While the male lead's halo certainly played a part, Qian Mei's abilities were also indispensable. Moreover, Qin Suisui believed that even if Qian Mei left Zhou Zecheng and went into business on her own, she would definitely be very successful.
Qin Suisui's gaze towards Qian Mei suddenly became intense.
Qian Mei naturally sensed it too. Before leaving with the police, she deliberately avoided others and ran to Qin Suisui, who was about to leave. She knelt down with a thud and kowtowed three times: "Sister, thank you for saving my life. From now on, my life belongs to you. I will repay you after I help my father get a divorce!"
Before Qin Suisui could answer, she stood up and ran away in a flash.
Qin Suisui's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. No, this girl was indeed decisive; she hadn't even uttered a single word!
As they came out of the Hongqiding brigade headquarters, Qin Suisui looked at Pei Jiuyan and Song Yunlai, who were pushing bicycles: "What are you two doing here? Weren't you going to find Brother Donglin?"
Song Yunlai sighed, "I haven't found it yet. That's why I'm looking everywhere! I'm planning to go check out Hao Ke's athletes' training base."
Qin Suisui then realized that Hao Ke's training base was right next to the Hongqiding Brigade, just a little further up the ditch from where they had just crossed.
She couldn't help but suspect that Hao Ke had been transferred here on purpose.
Pei Jiuyan looked at Qin Suisui: "Wife, are you alright? Do you want me to come with you?"
Qin Suisui waved her hand: "No need, we're already at the brigade, there's nothing else to do. You guys go ahead and get busy, Donglin's matter is more important." Chi Donglin is an active-duty soldier, if something really happens to him, it will be too late to regret it.
Pei Jiuyan nodded, and the two of them took Qin Suisui to the small wooden house they had seen before, retrieved her bicycle, and then the three of them parted ways.
Qin Suisui rode her bicycle straight to the educated youth settlement of Hongqiding Brigade. It was the time for the educated youth to start work. After asking around, she learned that Sun Ruwen was working in the rice paddies.
Hongqiding Brigade has many more paddy fields than Guangmingding Brigade. It's mid to late July now, the time for harvesting rice. After harvesting the rice, the transplanting of late rice will begin immediately. It usually has to be completed before the beginning of autumn. Time is very tight, and it's commonly known as the "double rush".
Therefore, the Hongqiding Brigade has been particularly busy lately. Even though such a big thing happened in the brigade just now, there weren't many people watching the spectacle. After all, given the choice between eating a full meal and watching a commotion, anyone with a brain would choose the former.
Qin Suisui also felt that she might have come at the wrong time, but Sun Ruwen asked her to help treat the patient at this time, probably because the family was in a hurry.
Sure enough, after finding Sun Ruwen in the rice paddy, Sun Ruwen immediately asked the brigade leader for leave and then led him straight to Wen Lian's house. Wen Lian was the good brother he had mentioned before.
Upon hearing the name, Qin Suisui instinctively imagined a refined and elegant person. However, when she encountered Wen Lian in person, she was instantly bewildered. Those muscular arms, dark skin, and the scar on his face—how could they possibly resemble the name "Wen Lian"?
Seeing the shock in Qin Suisui's eyes, Sun Ruwen couldn't help but laugh: "Don't let Wenlian's appearance fool you, he's actually a veteran."
Knowing that Sun Ruwen had guessed her shock, Qin Suisui felt a little embarrassed. But Wenlian looked to be less than thirty years old, so why was he discharged from the army?
But since this involved someone's privacy, Qin Suisui didn't ask any further questions.
When Wen Lian saw Qin Suisui, he was very respectful. Even though he was a man more than ten years older than her, Qin Suisui felt quite embarrassed.
The three of them quickly arrived at Wenlian's house.
Wenlian's home was a very ordinary farmhouse, with a bamboo fence, vegetables in the front yard, and chickens in the side yard. Wenlian's wife, Lin Lan, came out from the inner room and was somewhat surprised to see Qin Suisui and Sun Ruwen, but she quickly came out to greet them: "Lian, Sun Zhiqing, and who is this?"
Wenlian took her hand: "Alan, this is the little miracle doctor that Sun Zhiqing mentioned before. He came here today to treat you."
Upon hearing that it was the Little Miracle Doctor, Lin Lan's expression immediately warmed up. She let go of Wen Lian's hand and instead grasped Qin Suisui's hand: "So it's the Little Miracle Doctor! I was so blind! Come in, come in quickly. Are you hot? I'll get you some cold jelly!"
Without waiting for Qin Suisui to refuse, she quickly went into the backyard and soon brought out several bowls of grayish-white, semi-transparent jelly. The jelly also contained fresh mango pulp and coconut juice. One bite, and it was cool, smooth, and slightly bouncy. It was very different from the seaweed jelly made by Grandma Mai. Qin Suisui's eyes lit up: "Sister-in-law, how did you make this? It's so refreshing!"
Lin Lan smiled and said, "This is made from cassava, and I chilled it in the well water in the backyard for a while. If you like, take some back with you later!"
Qin Suisui nodded and didn't stand on ceremony with her: "Sister-in-law, teach me how to do it in a bit."
It was hot, and she didn't have a good appetite. She just wanted to eat something cold and refreshing. Lin Lan's words reminded her that she should also dig a well in the yard. Since there was no refrigerator at the moment, it would be much more comfortable to eat if the food was chilled in the well water for a while.
After finishing the cold noodles, Qin Suisui closed the door and began to see Lin Lan for medical advice.
Qin Suisui placed her fingers on Lin Lan's wrist and felt her pulse for a long time before frowning and asking Lin Lan, "Sister-in-law, are your periods irregular every month?"
Lin Lan nodded quickly.
"Does it sometimes come for more than ten days, and sometimes not come for several months?"
Lin Lan was almost in tears: "Little miracle doctor, do I have some kind of terminal illness?"
Qin Suisui chuckled and shook her head: "You just have irregular periods. I'll prescribe some medicine for you, and you'll be fine after taking it for a while!"
Lin Lan's eyes widened: "Huh? Will this disease affect my fertility?"
Qin Suisui frowned and thought for a long time, then placed her hand on Lin Lan's wrist and felt it for a while before speaking: "Judging from your pulse, there shouldn't be any problems with your health. Irregular menstruation shouldn't affect fertility. Is it your man..."
Qin Suisui immediately turned her suspicious gaze to Wen Lian.
Hearing Qin Suisui's words, Lin Lan and Sun Ruwen also immediately turned their gazes to him.
Wen Lian's dark face instantly turned bright red, and the usually taciturn man became so anxious that his tongue was tied in knots: "Wife, don't you know best whether I'm capable or not?"
Lin Lan blushed deeply. Whether her man was capable or not, the old wooden bed that had been broken before could prove it.
Knowing that everyone had misunderstood her meaning, Qin Suisui quickly waved her hand: "No, I didn't mean that Comrade Wen is not good enough. I meant that he might have some hidden illness or other problems that could affect his ability to have children."
Wen Lian frowned: "I retired before because of an arm injury, will that have any impact?"
Qin Suisui shook her head. In theory, it shouldn't have any impact, but she still had to take her pulse to check.
Wenlian nervously reached out his hand. The burly man, with his legs crossed, fists clenched, and lips pursed, was as nervous as a child.
Lin Lan also became nervous. If it was proven that it was her husband's problem, it would clear her name of "innocence." But this wouldn't do either. Her husband was still her husband. He treated her very well and protected her in front of his family. They had even moved out to live separately because of this. He couldn't have any problems!
Qin Suisui was also a little nervous. The pulse felt strong and powerful, so there seemed to be no problem. What could be wrong? Was she going to tarnish her grandmother's reputation as a miracle doctor?
Sun Ruwen was the only person in the room, staring intently at Wen Lian's fair fingers on his wrist, his gaze unfathomable.
