Chapter 127 Cute Village Girl VS Innocent Educated Youth (13)
"I have something to ask you." Jiang Zhiyi remembered that she still had some gossip to ask, "I heard that there's a male educated youth in your village who's having affairs with several widows?"
"Someone has bumped into him several times, saying he's always leading people to do bad things in the woods. Is that true or false? Cheng Jiahe, tell me quickly."
Cheng Jiahe frowned. This matter was indeed true. That man was of particularly bad character and had probably been having affairs with several women behind his back.
Once, when they were chatting with the villagers, the man revealed his true nature and spoke in a very vulgar way. Many people's faces changed halfway through the conversation, but unfortunately, the man didn't realize anything was wrong.
However, he felt even more sorry for the women who were deceived. Many of them thought they would be taken to the city to live a good life, but in reality, the man was just playing around.
"It's true, but he's been messing around with women, and the captain has been watching him for a long time. I reckon his punishment will be coming down soon," Cheng Jiahe said.
Jiang Zhiyi's eyes crinkled as she agreed, saying, "Such a beast should be taught a lesson, preferably a major demerit, and severely punished."
"And you! If you ever lay a hand on me again, I'll expose you and make you take the blame."
Cheng Jiahe took her hand that was pointing at him, kissed her, and said, "We're in a serious relationship."
Cheng Jiahe was still thinking that if they got married in the future, he would be even more justified in doing so, and he could make her cry however he wanted.
However, he will definitely prioritize her wishes and will not force her excessively.
...
A few days later.
At night, Jiang Zhiyi looked around at the gate; Jiang Xiangnong and the others had not yet returned.
She found it strange because they had been coming home very late every day these past few days. Especially today, it was already so dark, yet she still hadn't seen a soul.
"Mom, why are you the only one back? Where's Dad?" Jiang Zhiyi saw Li Jiaoyun, whose face was still wet with tears. "What happened?"
Li Jiaoyun said, "Your father fell down the mountain today and is at the village clinic now. You stay home and take care of your younger brother. I'll grab some things and head over."
Jiang Zhiyi was very anxious and said, "Mom, I'll go with you. Just let Jiadong watch the house."
Before Li Jiaoyun could answer, Jiang Zhiyi ran into the room and took all the money with her.
The village's medical station.
"Doctor, how is the patient?"
“His leg is broken, and it’s unclear whether there are any other problems. I heard he fell from such a high mountain, so I suggest you go to the hospital in the county town for a more comprehensive examination.”
Jiang Xiangnong frowned: "No need, I'm fine. I'll go to Dr. Li's clinic later to get a prescription for my leg, and then we can go home now."
Going to the hospital costs a lot of money, and he can't bear to spend it.
These days he's been taking on a lot of jobs to earn more money, so if he has to go to the hospital to pay for medical treatment, then all his hard work will have been for nothing.
Jiang Zhiyi was worried; it was really necessary to go to the hospital for a checkup. What if she had injured other parts of her body that hadn't been discovered? It would be too late to regret it then.
"Dad, let's go to the county town and have a look."
"I'm not going."
Jiang Zhiyi ignored him and said, "Mom, go ask the team leader if we can borrow a car to take us to the county town."
"Zhizhi, don't waste money, I'm not going to the hospital." Jiang Xiangnong absolutely refused.
"You have to go whether you want to or not!" Jiang Zhiyi snapped at him, her eyes red-rimmed. "What if something really happens?"
Jiang Zhiyi was on the verge of tears, but she said again, "I still have money, so you don't need to worry."
Jiang Xiangnong frowned and asked, "Where did you get this money from?" He noticed that the amount of money she had just taken out was quite substantial.
Jiang Zhiyi didn't intend to hide anything. She said, "It was given to me by Cheng Jiahe. We've been dating for a long time. He often gives me money to buy food and other necessities. This is all the money I've saved up that I haven't spent yet."
"You have to listen to me now. If you don't go to the county town for medical treatment, I won't want you as my father!"
The team leader was very helpful; he immediately drove the village car to take them to the hospital in the small county town.
The test results came back, thankfully nothing serious, but the doctor recommended staying for a few days of observation. Jiang Zhiyi thought that since she was already here, she might as well stay in the hospital for a few days.
"If you need me to pick you up, just come find me. You can tell the village if you have any difficulties, and we will help you in any way we can."
"Okay, thank you, Captain."
...
Cheng Jiahe heard about this the next day. He went directly to the hospital in the small county and contacted a more authoritative doctor to give Jiang Xiangnong another examination.
Now, Jiang Xiangnong and Li Jiaoyun know the whole story about the two of them.
Cheng Jiahe took care of Jiang Xiangnong for several days and often helped Li Jiaoyun. He was very thoughtful and considerate.
Li Jiaoyun was quite satisfied; this Cheng Jiahe was even better than the previous Chen Zhiqing. He was tactful in his words and actions, had a good personality, came from a good family, and cared for Jiang Zhiyi a lot. He seemed like a good son-in-law.
However, Jiang Xiangnong didn't think that way. He thought further ahead. Although the young man was indeed quite good, he was still a city dweller and would eventually have to go back home.
He wasn't very capable, and if Zhizhi went to the city with Cheng Jiahe, he wouldn't be able to protect her. Although life in the city might indeed be more comfortable, he didn't want his daughter to go too far away.
He felt he needed to be a little ruthless and let his daughter stay by his side, or marry someone nearby. That way, if anything happened, he could find a way to help her.
In the ward, Jiang Xiangnong and Li Jiaoyun chatted idly.
"I think he's a pretty good person."
Jiang Xiangnong shook his head: "There are people like them in the village, but I haven't seen many of them have a good outcome. Besides, Cheng Jiahe will definitely go back to the city. Will Zhizhi go with him then? I don't agree."
“Wouldn’t it be better for Zhizhi to go to the city? You’re just being too controlling. I think our daughter should be allowed to see more of the world. Besides, I think Cheng Jiahe treats Zhizhi very well,” Li Jiaoyun said.
“You don’t understand. He’s acting impulsively right now. You can’t say these things too soon. He’s washing her feet today, tomorrow, and the day after. Can he guarantee he’ll wash her feet for the rest of his life? People are fickle.”
"I agree, anyway. You just don't want Zhizhi to leave here. Even if they don't end up together, if she wants to move to the provincial capital in the future, are you going to stop her?"
Jiang Xiangnong didn't say anything more, clearly having been hit where it hurt.
Cheng Jiahe happened to overhear their conversation.
...
night.
Temporary accommodation near the hospital.
"Cheng Jiahe, what are you doing?" Jiang Zhiyi was forced onto a wooden chair by him. He squatted down and started taking off her shoes, and then her socks.
“I’ll wash your feet,” he said.
Jiang Zhiyi was completely bewildered. What was Cheng Jia and he doing now? Who had provoked him?
"Sit still and don't move around. I'll wash your feet," Cheng Jiahe repeated.
