Chapter 102 I Don’t Need Proof
Yu Chengping frowned and looked at Jiang Weiguo who had called out for him to stop. "Mayor Jiang, do you have any questions?"
Jiang Weiguo said seriously, "The letter I received said that the doctor who saved the lives of the twelve people was not Li Si, but Ye Rou, the doctor from Dahe Village."
He shook the letter in his hand and asked Yu Chengping, "Director Yu, what's going on?"
Li Si and Village Chief Li sat in the first row. He looked at his second uncle anxiously, "Why would Town Chief Jiang..."
"Shut up." Village chief Li scolded him in a low voice.
Li Si was unwilling to keep his mouth shut.
Yu Chengping stared at Jiang Weiguo with his eyes slightly narrowed.
Jiang Weiguo wanted the Public Security Bureau to set up a special task force to investigate human trafficking, but he did not support this proposal because he and Jiang Weiguo had been at odds for a long time because of this matter. Now that Jiang Weiguo suddenly stood up to support Ye Rou, he suspected that there was something fishy going on.
Because of this suspicion, he didn't make a final conclusion on the matter. Instead, he said cautiously, "Doctor Li Si is a graduate of the Workers', Peasants' and Soldiers' College. He has been working at the Lijia Village Medical Clinic for three years. It makes sense for him to treat this disease."
He continued, "As for Ye Rou that Mayor Jiang mentioned, I don't know her specific situation. May I ask who is Ye Rou?"
Fang Zhongxing looked at Ye Rou who was sitting next to him in surprise. She was sitting in the first row and raised her hand, instantly becoming the focus, with everyone's eyes fixed on her.
Yu Chengping was kind and had a friendly smile. He asked, "Comrade Ye Rou, which school did you graduate from?"
Ye Rou said calmly, "I have never been to school."
Hearing her words, the people sitting in the back sneered.
Fang Zhongxing turned around angrily and saw that the rows behind him were all filled with doctors in white coats. He remembered that his father said that all the doctors in the town and nearby villages were invited to this commendation meeting, and they wanted to set Li Si as a role model to encourage medical workers.
"A girl who has never been to school can treat such a rare disease. You'd rather let me believe that a sow can climb a tree!"
This sentence caused the whole audience to laugh.
Fang Zhongxing wanted to defend Ye Rou, but since this was the first time he had met Ye Rou, he didn't know her at all and didn't know what to say. He looked at his father for help, signaling him to help Ye Rou.
Fang Tiancheng was an old fox. He saw that Yu Chengping and Jiang Weiguo were fighting each other. It was best not to get involved in such matters. He lowered his eyes and pretended not to see his son's eyes.
Seeing that his father was planning to stand by and watch, and the people behind him were talking more and more harshly, Fang Zhongxing could no longer sit still and stood up and said loudly: "Ye Rou is a doctor at the Dahe Village Health Center. Everyone in Dahe Village says that she has superb medical skills!"
"Little comrade, you have been deceived by her."
Fang Tian looked at the person who spoke, and saw a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit suddenly stand up. It was none other than the village chief Li of Lijia Village.
Village Chief Li continued, "Everyone in the surrounding villages knows her story very well."
He looked at Ye Rou with disgust and said, "She flirted with other men and ruined the marriage arranged by her family. In order to be with a man, she broke off relations with the Ye family and moved in with him without getting married!"
Fang Zhongxing shook his head in disbelief, "You're lying!"
Village Chief Li said, "I was struck by lightning because I lied. If you ask them about this kind of thing, they will know it. I didn't make it up."
Village Chief Li spoke with such confidence that Fang Zhongxing's eyes trembled. He lowered his eyes to look at Ye Rou and asked, "Is what he said true? Are you really..."
His voice was hoarse, and the last sentence was particularly difficult to say: "Living with a man?"
Ye Rou frowned slightly and said coldly: "I'm afraid I don't need to explain my affairs to you."
Fang Zhongxing smiled bitterly. There was really no need to explain to him. After all, today was their first meeting.
He did not sit back next to Ye Rou, but sat silently two chairs away.
Fang Tiancheng on the rostrum looked at his decadent son and shook his head.
He believes everything he hears. He is not as calm as a little girl. How can he pursue a girl like this?
Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen's originally tense body relaxed and leaned back, the hand holding the cigarette slowly tapping the armrest of the chair, he glanced at the pretty boy with disdain, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Yu Chengping continued to ask: "Comrade Ye Rou, do you have anything to say?"
Li Si stood up and suddenly said, "I'm sorry, Director Yu, this incident is caused by me."
Hearing him say this suddenly, everyone looked at him.
Li Siwei said, "Comrade Ye pursued me some time ago, but I rejected her. Perhaps my rejection was too harsh, and Comrade Ye Rou was so upset that she went to the mayor and said that she saved the man."
Yu Chengping suddenly realized, then looked at Li Si seriously and said, "Comrade Li Si, I'm going to criticize you. Comrade Ye Rou is a girl. Even if you don't like her, you should handle it properly. Look at what a mess this has caused."
Li Si nodded repeatedly and said it was his fault.
"What a shameless bastard!" Zhou Liang was furious and rushed forward to beat Li Si.
Meng Guan stopped him.
Zhou Liang yelled, "Let me go, or I'll beat him so hard his mother won't even recognize him."
Meng Guan turned his head and made him look at Brother Jiang.
"It's not your turn to fight."
Zhou Liang looked over and saw his brother Jiang smiling.
Jiang Chen's smile widened, his eyes darkened, and he stared at Li Si as if he was looking at a dead person.
Zhou Liang shut up and sat back down quietly. This guy is finished.
Jiang Chen and the others knew that what Li Si said was bullshit, but the others in the audience believed it.
"That's what I was saying. How could a woman who has never been to school and probably can't even read and write possibly heal a disease?"
"Women can't be doctors. They scream when they see blood."
The discussions continued one after another, becoming increasingly unpleasant.
Yu Chengping smiled and said, "Okay, let's continue with the award ceremony."
Li Sisong breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Ye Rou with a smug look, and looked at Yu Chengping with full anticipation.
"Wait a moment." Jiang Weiguo once again stopped the award ceremony.
Li Si was so angry that he could hardly maintain his facial expression, and cursed Jiang Weiguo in his heart for being nosy.
Yu Chengping smiled gently: "Mayor, is there anything else?"
Jiang Weiguo said seriously, "Women hold up half the sky. We should not underestimate women's power and should respect their opinions and speech. I think Comrade Ye Rou should have a say."
He said this, but his eyes were looking at Jiang Chen who was sitting in the corner.
Jiang Weiguo didn't think that Ye Rou could solve today's problem. If he wanted to bring down Yu Chengping, he still had to rely on Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen held a cigarette in his mouth and smiled nonchalantly, as if he had no intention of speaking at all.
Jiang Weiguo frowned, not understanding what Jiang Chen was waiting for.
Yu Chengping said in a good-tempered manner, "Comrade Ye Rou, how can you prove that you saved the twelve lives of Lijia Village?"
Ye Rou sat with her back straight, her wide pure white skirt hanging down to cover her ankles. Her pretty face did not show any anger after being cursed and insulted. On the contrary, she was very calm, with a calm look and a smile on her lips.
She said her first words of the day: "I don't have to prove anything."
