Chapter 144: Not willing to be outdone
What's worse, all the food coupons used to exchange for food had just been used up during the journey.
But I still have no idea how to get money for tomorrow's meals.
Right now, we can’t even solve the most basic problem of eating, and our situation is very embarrassing.
What else can I do?
They were cornered and had almost no other options.
Yuan Mengjuan held the child and hesitated for a moment, then finally whispered tentatively, "How about... let's go back first?"
The puppy in his arms seemed to be affected by these words, and his eyes began to look dazed.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Chao's eyes widened and he roared at her fiercely.
"Shut up! Stop talking nonsense!"
He glared at his wife, and the flesh on his face was almost twisted into lumps.
Seeing this, Yuan Mengjuan didn't dare to say anything more and lowered her head silently.
But at this time, the young dog started crying and sobbing.
"I-I want to go home! I want to go home, Mom!"
Xie Guihua was already full of anger, and the sudden crying of Gou Wa made her even more irritated.
She finally made up her mind, stamped her foot heavily, gritted her teeth and said, "Let's talk about the adoption later... We really can't waste any more time today. Let's go back to the village."
"Go back?"
Xie Chao was stunned when he heard these sudden words and was unable to fully react for a while.
His eyes were a little glazed.
You know, before leaving the village, he boasted to his fellow villagers that he would be successful in doing big things in the city and would bring back good news.
Now that the plan has completely failed, how should he explain to others?
Where can I put my old face?
He tried to struggle and save the situation, "But... Aunt... didn't you promise me?"
His voice trembled slightly.
In his opinion, there was still hope.
As long as the adoption is negotiated, not only can Gou Wa be kept smoothly, but he might also be able to gain some benefits from it.
"Are you blaming me?"
Xie Guihua completely exploded.
She put her hands on her hips, her eyes wide open and shouted back angrily.
"You're not convinced, are you? If you don't want to leave, then you can pay for the hotel!"
Her tone was sharp.
"Why should I pay? You were the one who asked me to come along!"
Xie Chao was not willing to be outdone and roared back.
The tension between the two people is getting stronger and stronger.
"Are you blaming me for this?"
Xie Guihua was so angry after hearing this that her chest heaved violently.
"I invited you all here, but you should make the decision yourself, right? And all the money comes from me. I subsidize every single thing. How can you put all the blame on me?"
Her anger almost reached its peak.
Yuan Mengjuan stood aside and watched them quarreling with each other.
She felt weak in her heart and didn't dare to say a word. She could only lower her head to coax the dog.
Gou Wa was already in a bad mood, and when he was frightened he started crying loudly.
Yuan Mengjuan had no choice but to pick him up and comfort him softly.
But she herself was also very confused.
Ruan Dejun, who was standing next to him, squatted beside a stone and silently took out his pipe from his arms.
He slowly lit the flame and took puffs one after another.
Smoke lingered on his rough face, his eyes were deep, and he didn't say a word.
Xie Chao here still looked indifferent.
No matter how Xie Guihua scolded and questioned him, he refused to tell the truth.
Xie Guihua couldn't stand it any longer.
"Very good! Xie Chao!"
"Since you're capable, why don't you just handle this adoption issue on your own? I won't serve you anymore, a deaf-mute!"
After she finished speaking, she stamped her foot, her tone icy and piercing.
"If you have any problems in the future, don't come to me. I can't control you or help you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and rushed into a nearby restaurant to ask for directions.
Without waiting for others to react, she grabbed Ruan Dejun, who was still smoking, and dragged him away.
Xie Chao, who was standing next to her, saw that Xie Guihua was serious and the muscles on his face twitched slightly.
However, he still held on and refused to bow his head.
He shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Humph, I can take care of Puppy by myself! I don't need your help! Who wants you to get involved?"
When Yuan Mengjuan heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly tugged at the corner of his clothes.
But he ignored her and turned around to curse at her without even looking back.
"What are you still doing there? Why don't you leave quickly? If you don't come back to the village with me, are you going to spend the New Year here?"
Before he finished speaking, he strode towards the direction where Xie Guihua and the others had left.
Yuan Mengjuan felt extremely aggrieved when she heard these angry scoldings.
She hugged the crying puppy tightly in her arms.
She lowered her head and followed quickly in silence.
only……
As she walked back, she couldn't help but think that all the money for travel, food, clothing and other expenses for her return this time was borrowed.
How can I repay this debt? Where should I start after returning to the village?
Thinking about these questions, her heart became heavier...
A few days passed quietly...
Soon it will be a week.
But from that day on, Xie Guihua and the others never showed up again, nor did they meet each other.
At the same time, Ruan Chuxia in the hospital began to live a repetitive life.
During the day she is busy treating patients and saving lives in the hospital.
When I get home at night I still have to worry about housework.
She had almost no time to rest during this period.
As for where they were going, Ruan Chuxia didn't care at all.
Just as she was sitting at her desk writing a medical record, a young nurse pushed open the door and leaned half of her body in from outside, her voice clear and loud.
"Doctor Ruan! Director Huang wants you to come to his office!"
She heard the call, raised her head and responded.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Only after confirming that it was complete and accurate did he close the medical record folder, slowly stand up, straighten the sleeves of his white coat, and prepare to go to the dean's office.
"Is it because Elder Deng is being transferred back to the capital and wants you to go and say goodbye?"
Zhou Lulu next to her was full of envy.
Ever since she heard that Ruan Chuxia was accepted as a disciple by Master Deng, she felt jealous, not jealous.
At least she herself didn't think it was that kind of vicious jealousy.
But I suddenly realized why the differences between people are so huge?
They are both twenty years old.
But what about Ruan Chuxia?
Not only did he receive the third-tier salary, he was also a key training target in the unit.
And now, she has become a student of the famous Mr. Deng.
And what about yourself?
Punching in at work day after day.
Apart from slacking off, it seems that he didn't do anything else.
Before leaving get off work every day, I think about whether I should take a day off the next day, and never think about how to improve myself.
"Well, Teacher Deng said that he will indeed return to the capital tomorrow."
Ruan Chuxia signed the last form with a pen, looked up at Zhou Lulu who was sitting opposite her, and responded softly.
