Chapter 57: Village Chief Li's Plan
Ye Rou walked into the clinic angrily, and as soon as she entered, she saw Aunt Li had woken up.
Li Daniu smiled as he saw her come in and said, "Doctor Ye, my mother's fever has subsided."
Ye Rou nodded, walked over and checked the red spots on Aunt Li's face.
Aunt Li has been feeling dizzy and half asleep since yesterday. She remembered that Xu Rong had come and that he had brought a doctor with him.
Then the girl's voice lingered in her ears.
"Auntie, how do you feel now?"
"I'm giving you a fever-reducing injection now. Don't worry, it won't hurt."
"Auntie, please drink some water."
Aunt Li struggled out of her coma and opened her eyes to see her son sitting next to her. Seeing that she was awake, her son was so happy that he talked a lot.
When Dr. Ye was mentioned several times, she thought of the girl's voice in her dream and looked forward to meeting her savior.
When Ye Rou came in from the door and saw her face clearly, Aunt Li was stunned.
They look alike, very similar.
Ye Rou was frightened by Aunt Li's gaze. She couldn't stand it any longer and asked, "Aunt, why do you always look at me?"
Aunt Li asked, "Is your mother Zheng Li?"
Ye Rou's heart moved: "Aunt knows my mother?"
Aunt Li looked at Ye Rou and nodded, "Your mother is very pitiful."
At that time, the world was in chaos, and all kinds of monsters and demons were running around. Lijia Village was remote and located in the mountains, and the men in the village could not find wives, so they would "buy" wives from outside.
The group came once a year, and she remembered clearly that one afternoon in March 1955, the group came again.
All the men in the village went to see it. Her mother-in-law was going to choose a wife for her younger brother-in-law, so she took her with her.
Like merchandise in a supply and marketing store, the girls were driven onto the stage to be displayed to buyers for their selection.
The sisters Zheng Li and Zheng Xiu are so beautiful that they stand out among the crowd of gray-faced girls.
The people of Lijia Village saw that the two sisters were crazy and vowed to take a picture of one of the sisters.
The two sisters, Zheng Li and Zheng Xiu, hugged each other tightly, like innocent lambs surrounded by wolves, and kept shaking with fear.
The leader of that group was surnamed Wang, and everyone in the village called him Wang Mazi.
Wang Mazi knew that the sisters were valuable and wanted a sky-high price for them, but no one in their Lijia Village could afford that kind of money.
Some people tried to bargain, but Wang Mazi refused to give in. The men from Lijia Village could not afford the money, so they took the two sisters away again.
The reason why Aunt Li still remembered it was because the older sister of the pair was pregnant.
After hearing what Aunt Li said, Ye Rou fell silent.
A doubt in her mind was confirmed.
No wonder Zhao Xiulan treated her and Ye Wen in completely different ways, and no wonder Ye Hai could sell her to a cripple and a fool without hesitation.
Everything is clear now.
Ye Hai is not the original body's biological father.
"Aunt, thank you for telling me this." Ye Rou changed the medicine bottle for Aunt Li. Her head was in a mess and she wanted to go out and calm down.
Ye Rou just turned around and saw Jiang Chen leaning against the door, staring at her silently.
She was still mad at him and didn't want to pay any attention to him.
I squeezed past him, found a slightly cleaner place to sit down, and looked up at the bright moon in the sky.
One problem was solved, but a new one arose.
Why was Zheng Li sold? Who was the original person's biological father?
Originally, she thought that Zheng Li's surname was also Zheng, the same as Mr. Zheng in the cowshed, so they might be from the same family.
But what was sold to Mr. Zheng were a pair of children, not a pair of sisters.
After returning to the village, she must find her aunt and find out what happened.
"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Chen sat beside her. There was so much space next to her, but he didn't want to sit there, so he squeezed in next to her.
Ye Rou ignored him, resting her head on her arm and leaning to the other side.
Jiang Chen reached out and grabbed Ye Rou's hair, which was smooth and soft. He applied a little force, and the red cloth tied in her hair fell off, and her black hair spread out.
Ye Rou glared at him angrily: "What are you doing?"
Jiang Chen grabbed her hair, half-smiled and half-smiled, and said in an unpredictable tone: "Are you willing to pay attention to me?"
"Hmph." Ye Rou pulled her hair back from Jiang Chen's hands, preventing him from touching it.
"So stingy." Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Rou.
Ye Rou gathered her hair in her arms and rested her head on her arms. Her originally complicated mood disappeared after Jiang Chen's disturbance. She felt sleepy and heard a crisp sound, followed by a whiff of smoke.
Smoking again...
Jiang Chen exhaled a puff of smoke, and his left shoulder sank. He tilted his head with the cigarette in his mouth and looked over. Ye Rou closed her eyes and rested her head on his shoulder. She had fallen asleep.
She didn't sleep comfortably, and kept moving her head around as if trying to find a more comfortable position.
Jiang Chen sighed, opened his arms and hugged the person in his arms.
Now she was obedient.
Filled with fragrance, he ground the cigarette.
A head of black hair fell down, and Jiang Chen grabbed a strand and played with it around his fingertips.
——
Li Si was still frightened after being scared away by the strange man.
The man should be Ye Rou's boyfriend. He looked too fierce and difficult to deal with. Li Si was afraid that his plan would go wrong, so he went to find his second uncle.
"Uncle, the fever of several people in the clinic has subsided." What Li Si really wanted to say was that the villagers no longer believed him.
When the people in the clinic knew that it was he who proposed to burn them to death, the look they gave him scared Li Si.
What will he do in the village in the future?
"Why are you panicking?" Village chief Li disliked him for panicking when encountering problems.
But he has no son, and he still relies on Li Si to support him in his old age, so he still has to plan a future for him.
"Don't work in the clinic anymore. If you can't treat illnesses, you'll be exposed sooner or later."
Ultimately, it was Li Si who was stupid. He offended someone when he went to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University and was expelled. He didn't even get a diploma. He couldn't find a job and had to come back to cheat the villagers.
As soon as Village Chief Li finished speaking, Li Si panicked: "Second Uncle, if I don't work at the clinic, what should I do?"
"What's the rush?" Village Chief Li glared at him. "I'll write you a letter of recommendation. I'll use this achievement as a stepping stone to get you noticed by the higher-ups and get you a government job."
Having saved more than a dozen lives, the people above him will definitely be shocked. With a little effort, his nephew might become the second Yu Chengping.
Li Si's eyes widened: "Second Uncle, is this possible?"
Village Chief Li smiled calculatingly, "Why not? The current Public Security Bureau Chief, Yu Chengping, was originally a farmer. He got lucky and stumbled upon a human trafficker, saving seven children. He became a police officer and now the Public Security Bureau Chief. If he can do it, why can't you?"
Li Si's breathing quickened as he thought that one day he would be as majestic as him.
But he was still worried: "Second Uncle, what if it doesn't work?"
Village Chief Li chuckled and said, "Don't worry, it will definitely work."
He has the leverage over Yu Chengping. Even if he becomes the director, he still has to beg him not to report him.
