“Su Zhiqing, don’t be angry. I believe you now. You can set bones and treat patients! But, village doctors are different from other positions. They need a certificate. Do you… have a certificate?” Ding Daguo smiled and softened his tone.
Su Ruyi: "What certificate?"
Ding Daguo became a little smug again: "If you don't even know what kind of certificate it is, then you definitely don't have one."
"He's talking about a medical license," Jin Dachun said. "Ruyi, once my leg heals, I'll take you to the county to get one—I still have two nomination slots for my apprentices!"
Ding Daguo said smugly, "That's right, you can only be a village doctor after you get the certificate. You'd better stay in the fields for the next few months!"
“Dr. Jin, I’ll take you to the county to get this certificate now, and then I’ll bring you back, okay?” Yu Min suddenly said.
"That's wonderful!" Jin Dachun clapped his hands and laughed. "Comrade Yu, you are truly a good policeman of the people!"
Ding Daguo's face turned ashen: "Don't waste your energy! Having a certificate is useless! In Dingjiatun, as long as I, Ding Daguo, am in charge, this wild girl has to obediently go to the fields!"
Su Ruyi turned her head and gave him a deep look.
Ding Daguo suddenly shivered—this girl's gaze was so eerie, as if he were being stared at by an old monster who knew everything about the world!
Yu Min shook her head: "Captain, why are you doing this!"
Ding Daguo yelled in a rage, "You're the police officers I hired! You're here to handle the theft case at the brigade headquarters! I don't know what kind of spell this wild girl has cast on you, you're all sidling up to me like little lambs! Anyway, the theft case isn't solved, you can't leave!"
"We can't leave?!" Yu Min frowned. "People say that you, Ding Daguo, are running a one-man show in Dingjiatun. It seems that's really true?"
Ding Daguo then realized he had misspoke and quickly forced a smile to explain, "Deputy Director Yu, as you know, these infrastructure subsidies are supposed to be distributed to the villagers today! I still need to write a report on this matter! If you don't solve this case quickly, you won't be able to escape responsibility if the higher-ups blame you!"
"I can't escape some responsibility?" Yu Min asked, puzzled. "Something went missing from your brigade headquarters, how can you expect me to take the blame?"
Ding Daguo's expression grew increasingly stiff: "Deputy Director Yu, what are you saying? I didn't mean that at all! You know, I've been thinking about this, let's solve the case as soon as possible. My uncle even called last night to ask about it. I told him, 'Deputy Director Yu, you can rest assured about handling things...'"
Yu Min's expression instantly turned cold: "Are you threatening me with your cousin?!"
Su Ruyi raised an eyebrow—it seems Ding Daguo has connections! No wonder he's so arrogant!
At that moment, a new plan formed in her mind.
Ding Daguo did not respond to Yu Min's question, but he did not look away.
The two stared at each other, their anger visibly rising.
"Ouch!" Jin Dachun suddenly cried out in pain, "Xiao Yu, could you two please carry me home first? My old bones are going to stiffen if I sit on this cold ground for a while longer! Don't worry, I'm not fat at all, I'm not heavy at all!"
Everyone looked at Jin Dachun, knowing that he was trying to ease the tension, and they all appreciated his gesture.
Yu Min and Xiao Zhou carried the old man to the back of the police car.
"Raise this broken leg as high as possible."
As Su Ruyi spoke, she placed her handbag under the old man's legs, propped that leg across the seat, and then sat down in the small empty space that remained.
Yu Min got into the driver's seat, and Xiao Zhou immediately got into the passenger seat.
Ding Daguo stood with his arms crossed, coldly watching the group. Little did he know that everyone had gotten into the car, leaving him behind.
Once the car started moving, he shouted as he chased after them, "Deputy Director Yu! Squeeze in! Squeeze in, there's room!"
Yu Min immediately sped up.
Ding Daguo ran after the car for several dozen meters before stopping, where he stood hunched over, panting.
Even after he became a tiny black dot, you could still see his furious and cursing expression.
Jin Dachun said to Yu Min, "Xiao Yu, go to my room first and get my medical license, then take me to the city right away, is that convenient?"
Su Ruyi hurriedly said, "Master, there's no need to rush."
Jin Dachun shook his head: "Ding Daguo is petty and narrow-minded. We can't let him gain the upper hand. Moreover, his influence in Sanhe County, and even in Tieshi and Bingshi, the provincial capital, is not to be underestimated! If he makes a move, you'll never get your certificate in this lifetime! Ruyi, listen to your master, you won't go wrong."
So Su Ruyi nodded obediently: "I will listen to Master."
This newly recognized master was treating her with such sincerity, simply because she had saved him once.
Su Ruyi felt that a glimmer of hope for humanity had been rekindled within her.
She secretly plotted how to help the old man's leg injury heal faster.
The best way, of course, is to simply and directly give the old man some marrow-cleansing soup.
However, the marrow cleansing soup still had to be given to Fifth Brother first, and the old man had to wait his turn.
Yu Min turned and glanced at Su Ruyi: "Su Zhiqing, did you practice this when you were a child?"
With her fourth brother still alive, she couldn't lie through her teeth: "No, it's just that I did a lot of chores when I was little, so I've always been strong. As I grew up, my older brothers liked to play around, and I picked up a bit of that too!"
Yu Min chuckled twice: "Su Zhiqing is quite modest."
Su Ruyi said earnestly, "Thank you for what you did earlier."
Yu Min waved her hand: "It's none of your business. I've disliked Ding Daguo for a long time. Isn't that bastard just taking advantage of his cousin Ding Honglei's good fortune these past two years?"
Xiao Zhou whispered, "Team Leader Yu!"
Yu Min sneered, "What's there to be afraid of! A clear conscience fears no accusation! I bet this theft case is just a self-directed scheme by that bastard Ding Daguo who can't cover his own tracks! Just you wait, I bet he's already found a scapegoat!"
Upon hearing this, Su Ruyi looked at Yu Min again.
Yu Min, who was driving, felt her gaze: "Comrade Su, don't be afraid, but be careful too, don't let anyone take advantage of you! I think that old bastard Ding Daguo has no good intentions towards you!"
These words struck a chord with Su Ruyi, and she couldn't help but think of her fourth brother, Su Tong.
Just as Yu Min said, if the hole can't be filled, Ding Daguo will start thinking about other things.
Su Tong was probably the best candidate to frame someone.
Thinking of this, Su Ruyi became anxious.
Could Fourth Brother have already fallen into the trap?
Has Ding Daguo already made some arrangements?
Otherwise, why didn't he let the two policemen leave?
Thinking of this, Su Ruyi could hardly sit still.
At that moment, she felt an overwhelming longing for cell phones from later generations.
If only I had a cell phone, I could send a message to Su Tong!
