Chapter 3 Severing Relationship
Ruan Chuxia glanced indifferently at this family, which was actually not well-off. Three generations of them were farmers, and they relied on the meager assets left by their mother to support themselves.
She calmly put away all her deposits and belongings, and smiled after confirming that everything was correct.
"Then it's settled, comrade. Let's go."
In fact, apart from the small package on her back, Ruan Chuxia didn't have much to bring with her.
Then, under the envious eyes of the villagers, she followed Chen Rong into the green jeep and left the village.
The villagers were talking about it, they were envious and jealous of Ruan Chuxia's good luck.
"I heard that the eldest girl is going to the city to be someone's wife?"
"What good luck! But the second girl..."
These words reached the ears of Xie Guihua, who was already angry.
Thinking that her original plan to arrange a good marriage for her child had now become empty talk, and her daughter actually married a poor teacher, Xie Guihua was furious. She slapped her daughter hard and scolded her, "This is all your fault! You ruined everything!"
Ruan Chenshuang responded unyieldingly, "Mom! What do you know? After I marry Brother Jiang, I'm going to be the wife of the richest man. Our good days are yet to come!"
"Let's not talk about that. Mom, please lend me some money first. I've used up most of my savings on the headdress, and we're short of money right now. Please also give me an extra bag of rice and some flour..."
Ruan Chenshuang continued to beg her mother, with a hint of coquettishness and urgency in her tone.
After hearing what her daughter said, Xie Guihua felt dizzy.
The thought of Ruan Chuxia entering a good life almost made her faint.
She couldn't accept that all her careful planning had come to nothing.
On the other side, Ruan Dejun humbly bent over and pleaded against the car window: "Chuxia, you are now living in the family compound and you have entered a wealthy family. Remember to send more money home to help us in the future..."
Ruan Chuxia in the car glanced coldly at the people outside the window, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
"You are short of money, does it have anything to do with me?"
She closed the window without hesitation and said indifferently, "When I was little, you didn't take good care of me and even let my stepmother and sister bully me. Now that I'm married, you come to ask me for money."
"Ruan Dejun, how can it be so cheap?"
When Ruan Dejun heard what she said, his face turned red and he lowered his head guiltily.
Just when he was about to continue using family affection as an excuse, he heard Ruan Chuxia say coldly: "Don't even think about it. It's impossible for you to get a penny from me."
"From now on, I have nothing to do with the Ruan family!"
In the hospital.
The corridor was filled with a strong smell of disinfectant.
In the ward, an old man in patient clothes was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his face pale, his chest rising and falling with difficulty, and he was having difficulty breathing.
Xiao Zhenwu and his wife Guo Huaqin, who were waiting on the side, looked worried and tired.
"Mom and Dad, I have something to tell you."
The door of the ward opened gently.
A woman with short, neat hair whispered.
"Zhiwei, did something happen to Zhiyu?"
Xiao Zhiwei frowned slightly.
"It's not him, it's the marriage that grandpa arranged before."
"Chen Rong just said that the other party has been brought here."
Guo Huaqin was stunned for a moment.
Only then did he remember that before his father was admitted to the hospital, he had specifically instructed them to hold a wedding for Xiao Zhiyu.
The girl was the granddaughter of the old man’s good friend when he was young, but the Xiao family actually did not approve of the marriage at that time.
After all, their family is quite famous in the capital, and Xiao Zhiyu became the head of the village at a young age, so his future is bright.
Of course, it is a fact that parents are unwilling to accept that their son will marry a girl from a rural background.
Guo Huaqin showed a dissatisfied expression on her face and said impatiently: "I know, just ask someone to arrange a place for me to stay."
"Tell Chen Rong that if the girl from the Ruan family needs anything, she can go to him and solve it. Don't bother us anymore."
Xiao Zhiwei had the same idea. He didn't have much affection for this girl in the first place!
It was Xiao Zhenwu who frowned.
"After all, this is the engagement made by the old man. Now that she is here, she should be brought in for the old man to see."
"Zhiwei, go tell Chen Rong to bring that lady over."
"Dad..." Xiao Zhiwei was a little unhappy.
"Stop talking nonsense and do as I say!"
Xiao Zhenwu said seriously that although he has reached middle age, he still maintains his unique integrity.
He added with a stern expression, "Ask Zhiyu to come over too. His future wife has arrived. Shouldn't she meet her?"
In the family compound.
Chen Rong first arranged accommodation for Ruan Chuxia, and then took her to the hospital.
"Knock knock", there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Ruan Chuxia pushed open the door and frowned as she entered the room because of the pungent smell of medicine in the room.
Her eyes quickly locked onto the frail face on the hospital bed.
The old man's breath was very weak and it seemed that he might pass away at any time.
Ruan Chuxia's eyes flickered slightly. She had been practicing medicine for many years and could tell at a glance what was wrong with the other person's body.
Old Master Xiao was old, with weak qi and blood, and his old injuries from years of marching had not been healed, so his condition became even more serious.
In her previous life, Ruan Chuxia’s medical skills were average and she couldn’t cure the old man’s illness, so she could only watch him die.
But in this life, Ruan Chuxia has mastered rich medical experience and has also gone abroad to learn domestic and foreign medical technologies. She not only understands Chinese medicine, but is also proficient in Western medicine.
Therefore, Ruan Chuxia is now very confident that she can save the critically ill Mr. Xiao!
While Ruan Chuxia was observing Old Man Xiao, Guo Huaqin was also looking at her future daughter-in-law.
The little girl has fair skin and a plump figure, and you can tell at a glance that she has a good physique.
Guo Huaqin's expression softened a bit, "You're here."
Her tone was not friendly and her expression was cold. "Since you are here, let's go see the old man."
"After all, the old man is the benefactor who allowed you to marry into the Xiao family. Without his approval, someone like you from a rural background would never be able to set foot in the compound in your lifetime!"
"Huaqin!"
Xiao Zhenwu frowned and glared at his wife, feeling very uncomfortable.
Ruan Chuxia didn't really care.
She had been mentally prepared that the Xiao family might look down on her.
She looked at Xiao Zhenwu. Among all the Xiao family members, this man who seemed the most difficult to approach was actually the easiest to talk to.
There was a gleam in her eyes. This pretty and generous girl stood in the light and said in a firm tone, "Uncle Xiao."
"If you believe in me, I can save Mr. Xiao!"
"You? You can heal illnesses?"
Guo Huaqin opened her eyes wide in surprise, then frowned and looked Ruan Chuxia up and down carefully.
After looking her up and down, she looked like a young girl in her twenties. How dare she say that she could cure the old man's disease!
"Even the best doctors in the capital couldn't cure the old man's illness. What do you think a little girl can do?"
It was obvious that Guo Huaqin didn't trust her at all and waved her hand to ask Ruan Chuxia to go away.
