"Forget it. Our house is not close to the hospital. My second sister is young. Don't let her run away so late at night. I'll ask the nurse to get me a meal from the hospital cafeteria." Xu Ping swallowed the bitterness in his heart and said to Liu Xiaocui with forced calmness.
"That's fine. It's not easy to ask for leave from my mother. You should take care of yourself."
Liu Xiaocui didn't even ask her daughter whether she had money in her pocket or how she could go to the toilet with her legs in plaster. She just told her about her difficulties and slipped away quickly.
As soon as she left, Xiaodong slipped in from outside the ward.
This ward is a triple room, but currently only Xu Ping and a security guard who bravely fights thieves and protects the property safety of the film and television base live there.
The uncle was pushed away by the nurse to take an X-ray, so Xu Ping is the only patient in the ward at the moment.
When Xiaodong came in, he grinned at Xu Ping, with a hint of embarrassment on his dark face.
Xu Ping's eyes lit up instantly when she saw him coming back. She leaned forward slightly and called out to the man with joy, "Brother Dongzi, why are you back again?"
Dongzi walked closer, rubbed her head with his hand, and said with a smile: "If I don't come back, you will cry, right?"
Xu Ping felt a little embarrassed by his actions and words. She grabbed the hand that was causing trouble on her head and said unwillingly, "Do you care whether I cry or not?"
Dongzi tapped her forehead and teased her, "Silly girl."
Seeing Xu Ping's uneasy eyes, he thought for a moment and said, "When you recover from your injury, I will ask my mother to go to your house to propose marriage."
After hearing this, Xu Ping felt relieved. Just as she was about to take the things out of her pocket, the door of the ward was slammed open with a loud bang, revealing the angry face of Dongzi's mother, Sister Wang.
"I absolutely don't agree with this marriage!" Sister Wang was extremely angry.
Thinking of her son Dongdong, he is handsome, obedient and filial. Although he does not have a high level of education, he is a college graduate after all. He not only has a Beijing household registration, but also has a car and a house. She would never marry an outsider who can barely read or write.
Thinking of this, she glared at Xu Ping lying on the hospital bed: This woman is so scheming that she seduced her son right under her nose. She really regretted renting the house to such a family. She really let a wolf into the house.
Sister Wang prided herself on being a civilized person, and she disdained to hurl harsh words at a little girl lying in a hospital bed. She suppressed her disgust and said to her son, "Come here and come home with me. You're embarrassing me!"
Dongzi felt sorry for his mother's poor health, but seeing tears in Xu Ping's eyes, he couldn't bear it either, and was in a dilemma for a moment.
Sister Wang took a few steps forward, grabbed her son's arm, and dragged him out, cursing as she did so: "You little bastard, I knew what you were up to the minute you raised your butt. I noticed something was amiss between you and her earlier when we were here. When you didn't come home after leaving the hospital, I knew you were up to no good. It doesn't matter if you're blind, but your father and I absolutely don't approve of you marrying someone like her."
"Why do you disagree? What's wrong with Xu Ping? Didn't you praise her for being sensible and capable at home before?..."
Dongzi said he was "arguing with reason" with his mother, but he didn't stop at all, nor did he look back at Xu Ping's helpless and confused face.
.......
The quarreling sounds of mother and son were getting farther and farther away, but Xu Ping couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes.
At the rental house, all the Xu family's belongings were thrown outside the gate, and the two houses they had rented before were rented out to others by the landlord's family at the speed of light.
The first person to get the news was Xu Ping's father, Xu Daming. His auto repair stall was at the entrance of the village, which was the busiest place in the village. Usually, any big or small events in the village would be quickly spread and fermented here.
