Chapter 20: Many Bad-Hearted People
Uncle Chen Qiang locked the deserted house and made an appointment to come back in two days before he left with a worried look on his face.
Ruan Fu sent the person to the village entrance, thought for a while, and decided not to go to the valley to pick wild peaches. Instead, she walked towards the town’s health center.
Sun Hongxia's expression just now was obviously guilty. Her mother's illness happened more than ten years ago, and there were many suspicious points. In her previous life, she blindly believed the thief to be her mother and did not think about it carefully. Now it is time to investigate. If there is any hidden secret, she will never let the mother and daughter go.
The conditions in the town health center are much better now than before.
Ruan Fu seldom came here and was not familiar with this area, so she randomly found a clinic where a young female doctor was sitting.
"Doctor, I want to ask if you have any experienced doctors who have been working here for more than ten years. I want to see a doctor."
"Those are all monsters and demons who have been defeated long ago. If you don't trust us young people, then don't treat patients." The female doctor was arrogant.
Ruan Fu hit a wall, but she was not discouraged. This was all within her expectations. It had been more than ten years since the incident, so it was not that easy to investigate.
Just after coming out of the clinic, she happened to see the gatekeeper listening to an opera at the door, and immediately came up with an idea.
The young doctor is unwilling to pay attention to me. Can't the older generation handle this situation myself?
When asking for help from someone, you have to give gifts, especially to an elderly person. Giving cigarettes is always a good idea.
Ruan Fu hardened her heart and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a bag of Daqianmen. She handed it to him with a smile and said, "Hello, uncle. I want to ask you something."
When the old man saw the pack of cigarettes, his eyelids twitched.
He has been a security guard at the health center for many years and has seen many people of all kinds, but it is rare for someone to offer a pack of cigarettes directly.
I wanted to ask what was going on and why he was willing to spend money like that. The old man usually smoked local cigarettes, but now looking at the exquisite packaging, he felt tempted, but he didn't dare to take it.
"Girl, what do you want to ask?"
Ruan Fu stuffed the pack of cigarettes into the man's hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, uncle. I just wanted to chat with you. This health center has been running for many years, right?"
"Yes, I've been here since the 1960s. I've worked here all my life and am almost retired," the old man said with a hint of pride. "Then you must know a lot of people, right? Do you know all the doctors in this clinic?" Ruan Fu flattered him calmly, making him very happy.
The old man puffed out his chest and said, "Of course. In this clinic, as long as you ask, there is nothing I don't know."
"More than ten years ago, a doctor here treated my mother for scabies and performed surgery. I've always wanted to thank him, but I forgot his name. Do you remember him?"
"Performing surgery more than ten years ago?" The old man squinted his eyes and thought for a moment. "You must be talking about Doctor Shen Jun. At that time, he was the only one in the hospital who dared to perform surgery."
Seeing that there was a clue in the matter, Ruan Fu hurriedly asked: "Where is Doctor Shen now?"
"He was promoted a long time ago and transferred to the county hospital. I heard he's the director now. If you want to thank him, I guess you can only go there."
Ruan Fu's smile became even more enthusiastic. "Then do you know who his family is?"
The old man clapped his hands. "When you mention this, I remember that his girlfriend at the time came to make a fuss. She seemed to say that Shen Jun had hooked up with another woman outside. I thought he would be unlucky, but who knew that he was transferred to the county town soon after."
When Ruan Fu heard this, she suddenly had a guess in her mind. She had vaguely heard before that before Sun Hongxia married into the Ruan family, she was dating a guy named Chen. Later, the two broke up. Sun Hongxia then met Ruan Dahe and got pregnant with Ruan Hongxing in a daze. Only then did she quickly marry into the Ruan family.
Although there are not many useful clues, it is better than being completely confused before. It seems that I have to go to the county hospital to inquire when I have time.
The old man looked at her with a frown on his face and said one more sentence.
"Little girl, I'm telling you this because you're such a sincere person. Shen Jun isn't a conscientious doctor. Your mother's recovery was purely luck. It's been over ten years, so there's no need to thank him specifically."
This sounds very meaningful.
Ruan Fu became even more confused. She looked up and was about to ask again, but suddenly she saw a familiar figure across the street.
Sun Hongxia was carrying a cloth bag, looking around anxiously.
How come this person is here?
Ruan Fu was afraid that she would see her, so she looked around and quickly hid.
Sun Hongxia wrapped herself in a headscarf, covering herself completely, and strode into the clinic.
Ruan Fu hurried to catch up, but was afraid of alerting the enemy, so she didn't dare to follow too closely.
The door of the clinic in front of me was half-open, and I could hear faint conversations from inside.
"...Tell Old Shen that this damn girl is getting suspicious now, tell him to be careful..."
"Please tell me one more thing. He owes us mother and daughter too much. Don't think that everything will be fine just because he goes to the county town. Hong Xing is his daughter after all, and he has to help her find a stable job."
"Okay, I'll definitely tell you, but you can take these eggs back. I can't eat them..."
Ruan Fu was secretly shocked when she heard this at the door, and she quickly started to think.
When his mother died, Ruan Dahai quickly remarried a month later because his wife, Sun Hongxia, was pregnant.
After all this time, it turned out to be someone else's scheme. Ruan Hongxing is not his child. I really don't know how he would react after he knew about this.
Such a heartless man deserves to end up like this.
The door of the clinic opened again.
Sun Hongxia cautiously stuck her head out, looked around, and then left in a hurry.
Ruan Fu walked out from the corner next to her, looking at the other person's back expressionlessly, her eyes full of hatred.
No wonder Sun Hongxia said that that day. It turns out there was something strange about her mother's death.
She clenched her fists tightly. Although she didn't know what this woman was up to, she would definitely find out.
As it got darker, Ruan Fu returned to the village.
When I looked up, I saw Ruan Hongxing standing on the hillside not far away, and the man standing opposite her, wasn't that Lu Lijun?
These two had a falling out a few days ago, and now they're together again. I'm sure they're not discussing anything good.
She frowned and slinked closer.
Perhaps because she thought there was no one around, Ruan Hongxing did not lower her voice, and her words floated over intermittently with the wind.
"... She's near the threshing ground. We'll find a way to get her there, and then we can vent our anger together. You can do whatever you want..."
Then Lu Lijun said, "There won't be any problems with this, right?"
"No, she's a coward, and since she likes you, she'll definitely listen to you and won't dare say anything more afterwards."
Ruan Fu immediately understood when she heard this.
These two are trying to plot against me! I didn't expect Ruan Hongxing to be so persistent. Those slaps last time didn't scare her away, but now she wants to do something bad again.
First it was Sun Hongxia, then Ruan Hongxing. This mother and daughter pair are really not easy to deal with.
Ruan Fu pursed her lips and stared at the two people who were discussing with their heads down.
In this case, she would do as the other party wished and see who would be unlucky in the end.
Ruan Fu was already familiar with going to the city to sell wild peaches.
She got up early the next day. There were not many peaches left in the valley, so she quickly filled half a basket, which weighed more than ten pounds in total.
It can probably be sold for more than ten yuan, which is also a considerable income. When I was leaving, I was surprised to find a large patch of honeysuckle growing next to it. This is a high-quality Chinese medicinal material and can be sold for a lot of money. I can pick it when I have time.
The sun had already come out at this time. In order to prevent the wild peaches from drying out, Ruan Fu specially picked some thick mulberry leaves to cover them. Then she hurriedly put on the basket and walked towards the county town.
