Zheng Laidi's complexion wasn't good; she was clearly complaining that Ma Fenglai didn't know how to speak properly.
Who are you calling Sister Ma?
Ma Fenglai was fed up. Standing next to Zheng Laidi, she looked to be about the same age as her. But why did Zheng Laidi have to call her "Sister Ma"? Did she think she was too old?
"If I don't call you Sister Ma, should I call you Little Sister Ma?"
Zheng Laidi looked bewildered. She said, "You're six years older than me, and in terms of appearance, look at you, you clearly look like a middle-aged woman, while I..."
Before she could continue, Ma Fenglai interrupted her: "I'm a middle-aged woman, and what are you? Zheng Laidi, don't think you look young just because you're a few years younger than me. In everyone's eyes..."
"With your slovenly appearance and wrinkled face, you must be over fifty. Look at me, aside from being a little overweight, my complexion and the smoothness of my face are far superior to yours."
You mean I'm older than you?
Zheng Laidi said coldly, "I'm six years younger than you, and you actually say I'm older than you? Ma Fenglan, are you blind? And all of you, do you all have something wrong with your eyes?"
"What are you doing? How did you get us involved in your argument?"
Some of the women standing with Ma Fenglan were unhappy. They were being targeted by Zheng Laidi for no reason. How could someone be so unreasonable?
"Do you also think I look older than Ma Fenglan?"
Zheng Laidi asked.
However, no one answered her.
In other words, this is equivalent to the default.
"Well, you really do have bad eyes. Ma Fenglan is six years older than me and already has a grandson. Why does she look younger than me? My daughters are still unmarried, which shows that I'm not that old as a mother."
No woman is indifferent to her age. In Zheng Laidi's mind, she was clearly six years younger than Ma Fenglan. Unexpectedly, these people were all blind and thought that Ma Fenglan was younger than her. Were they not just bullying her?
“Zheng Laidi, I think you’re the one who’s messed up. We’re just chatting here, and you’ve been quietly joining in. Now you’re picking a fight with us. Tell me, what are you trying to do?”
Ma Fenglan glared at Zheng Laidi angrily: "Let me tell you, if you keep spouting nonsense, don't blame me, Ma Fenglan, for not giving you any face!"
To be honest, in terms of appearance, Ma Fenglan does look younger than Zheng Laidi. Even though she is slightly chubby, she herself is right. Not only is her skin fair, but apart from a few fine crow's feet at the corners of her eyes and two or three wrinkles on her forehead, it is hard to find any other wrinkles on her face.
In addition, Ma Fenglan is diligent and clean, and she never forgets to dress herself neatly and appropriately when she goes out. Her first impression is that she is energetic, and it is easy to overlook her age.
In contrast, Zheng Laidi is sloppy and only washes her hair once every ten days or so. When she goes out, she doesn't care whether her clothes fit or not; she just grabs whatever is in the closet and puts it on. Her black cloth shoes get muddy, but she doesn't know to dry them or brush them, or wash them properly in water when the weather is sunny. She only takes off her shoes when she goes to sleep; otherwise, she basically never takes them off.
His slovenly appearance was simply unbearable to look at.
Besides these, let's talk about her appearance. She was truly beautiful when she was young. While not exactly the village beauty, she was definitely considered "pretty" among girls her age in the village. However, after marriage, perhaps burdened by life...
Her skin gradually became rough and yellowish. In addition, she gave birth to several daughters in succession, which may have affected her mentality. Her facial features were affected by her mentality. For example, her eyes almost became triangular as she got older. When her facial features came together, it would not be an exaggeration to describe them as "sharp and mean".
To put it bluntly, he doesn't look like a nice guy.
"I didn't say anything, why are you making such a fuss?"
Zheng Laidi was a paper tiger. As soon as she saw Ma Fenglan taking it seriously, her momentum immediately weakened, and she said, "I have something to do, so I won't chat with you any longer."
She left after saying a few words.
"She walks fast!"
"If we don't leave, she'll probably start crying and screaming later."
"What you're saying..."
The women standing with Ma Fenglan laughed out loud as they watched Zheng Laidi leave.
"Do you think she might cause a scene at the staff hospital?"
"Possibly."
"I heard that her second and third daughters have already started families in the rural areas where they were sent, and the couple are trying to get their fourth daughter transferred back."
"If that's the case, she'll definitely go to the hospital and cause a scene so that her fourth daughter can take over the nurse position from that Song Lan."
"That depends on whether she can pull the person off their post."
"Song Lan? Doesn't that name sound familiar?"
"Does our factory have many people with the name Song Lan?"
"I don't know."
"I've never heard of it."
"I did hear Shengli's mother mention this name a few days ago, but that Comrade Song Lan works in the security department."
"Why is Victory's mother suddenly bringing up a female comrade with you? Could it be that Victory is dating her?"
"That's not true. Comrade Song is married. I heard from Shengli's mother that the whole family lives in the old residential area. The reason she mentioned him to me was to praise Comrade Song's medical skills."
"Good medical skills?"
Ma Fenglan asked curiously, "How good can it be?"
"You all know that Pu Jun's mother suffers from headaches, right?"
"I know, I know."
"It is said to be a stubborn headache."
"That's right, but not long ago, Comrade Song cured Prussia's mother's headache."
Ma Fenglan exclaimed in surprise: "No way? She had several tests at our factory's staff hospital, but they still couldn't find the cause of her illness. Every time I saw her, she looked sickly because of her headaches. To be honest, I felt sorry for her. I never expected that she would get better now!"
"I heard it from Shengli's mother, as you all know. Shengli and Pujun both work in the security department. If Shengli wants to know what's going on in Pujun's family, it shouldn't be difficult to find out from Pujun."
Zheng Laidi left in a hurry, naturally unaware of what Ma Fenglan and the others were talking about. Instead of going home, she carried her vegetable basket straight to the factory staff hospital and, upon seeing a nurse, inquired about the gossip she had heard from Ma Fenglan.
After making inquiries, the answer was always the same: there was no nurse named "Song Lan" in the hospital.
"How could there not be?"
Zheng Laidi stood in the outpatient hall, frowning and muttering, "Ma Fenglan said the news had already spread yesterday. There's no way no one at the staff hospital has heard about it..."
"Comrade, are you here for a medical checkup?"
A nurse, who was about thirty years old, saw Zheng Laidi standing motionless in the lobby and kindly went up to ask her what she could do to help.
"Huh? I'm not here for a medical appointment. I just want to ask about someone at this hospital."
Zheng Laidi came to her senses and asked the nurse in front of her, "Does our staff hospital really not have a nurse named Song Lan? I heard that she was transferred from the general factory staff hospital in Beijing."
"Is there something you need from Comrade Song Lan?"
