Chapter 331 It's just your wishful thinking
When Feng Zhenzhen saw Erzhuzi walking towards the village office, his heart trembled suddenly. He moved his feet towards the wall, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
But Erzhuzi's eyes had already locked onto her, and his angular face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
"What are you doing here?" Erzhuzi asked. He had already smelled something unusual.
Feng Zhen was really irritated by his attitude, and raised his chin and said, "You are allowed to come but I am not? Is this village office owned by your family?"
"I didn't stop you from coming. I asked you what you were doing here?"
"What do you care about me?" Feng Zhenzhen snorted coldly.
The two of them were talking in a tense atmosphere. Secretary Lu frowned and said, "You two should solve the problem between yourselves. Don't make trouble without knowing right or wrong. I repeat again, Dr. Xu was sent by the higher-ups to help us fight the epidemic. Who can take the responsibility for delaying the work?"
Erzhuzi didn't understand what Lu Zhishu meant: "What do you mean?"
The few old ladies who were watching were immediately in an uproar and started talking to Erzhuzi all at once about what Feng Zhen had just done.
"She blocked the door and cursed for a long time, saying that Dr. Xu was a vixen and a slut who had seduced you! She also said that she had ruined your marriage!"
"Bullshit!" Er Zhuzi was furious when he heard that. He turned to Feng Zhenzhen and said, "Didn't I make myself clear last time? I don't have any feelings for you. There's no chance between us. Our marriage is just your wishful thinking. I didn't agree to it at all! Who told you to spread rumors that I wanted to marry you?"
Feng Zhenzhen staggered back because of his yelling, her eyes suddenly turned red and tears dripped down.
When a beautiful woman sheds tears, it will arouse pity.
But Feng Zhenzhen is just annoying. Erzhuzi doesn't want to look at her: "I didn't bully you, you don't have to cry in front of me. Just leave quickly and don't make yourself miserable here."
"Erzhuzi, you have no conscience! I have liked you for so many years, and you treat me like this! I hate you!" Feng Zhenzhen covered her face and ran away crying.
As soon as Feng Zhenzhen left, the women who came with her felt embarrassed to stay any longer, so they lowered their heads and left in shame.
"Doctor Xu, please come out." Lu Mancang knocked on the door.
Xu Nuo made sure that everything outside was calm before he opened the door and walked out.
As soon as she came out, she saw Erzhuzi standing in the crowd with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Yes... I'm sorry, Dr. Xu. I didn't expect to cause you so much trouble. That Feng Zhenzhen, I really have nothing to do with her. She... she was angry with me, so she came to trouble you and took out her anger on you." Erzhuzi rubbed his hands and apologized to Xu Nuo with half of his face red.
"It's nothing." Xu Nuo smiled, with a hint of helplessness in his smile, "It's not your fault. It has nothing to do with you. Don't take it too seriously."
"But……"
Erzhuzi wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Secretary Lu: "Alright, Doctor Xu said that it's over and it's over, so don't mention it again."
Erzhuzi: "Well... okay then."
"Also, I want to say one thing." Secretary Lu cleared his throat and said loudly, "The thirty or so young men in our village who came here to help are not helping Doctor Xu, but helping our own villagers. You must understand this! There is another point, I have said it again and again, but I feel that none of you take it to heart. Doctor Xu from the medical team came here to help us, and he doesn't owe us anything. Can you please stop holding your breath and looking for trouble with him every day?"
Secretary Lu's words were very pointed. Among the crowd watching the excitement, there were people who had caused trouble before. When they heard this, they couldn't help but lower their heads.
"I'm saying this for the last time. If I find out that someone is causing trouble for Dr. Xu and others for no reason, our village will punish them. You will know how to punish them when the time comes. Don't blame me for not showing you mercy. Do you hear me?"
"Hear...I heard it." There were sporadic responses from the crowd.
"Let's all go."
Secretary Lu waved his hand, and the onlookers gradually dispersed, and the village branch returned to calm.
"Thank you, Secretary Lu, you helped me out today." Xu Nuo thanked.
Secretary Lu looked ashamed and said, "This shouldn't have happened. You came here to help us, but I made you suffer. This is because I didn't do my job well."
"Everyone has their own difficulties. It's not easy for you either. It's hard to manage so many villagers..."
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Secretary Lu, Doctor Xu, have you forgotten about him?" Erzhuzi listened to the two people exchanging greetings for a long time, and seeing that they were about to continue talking, he hurriedly interrupted the conversation.
In the back seat of the car, Chen Rui sat astride, with one leg supported on the ground and the other leg hanging in the air.
He just listened in silence for a long time, and silently made an evaluation of the people in this village in his heart.
Apart from these villagers, he paid more attention to Xu Nuo.
This girl saved his life, paid his medical expenses, and came from the army to support the anti-epidemic treatment in the remote mountain village.
Logically speaking, she shouldn't be a bad person.
However, Chen Rui felt that there were some things that he needed to observe further.
"Ouch." Lu Mancang slapped his head, "I almost forgot about you."
He walked up to Chen Rui and said to him simply, "Old Lu told me everything. He said that you can just stay at his house to recover from your injuries. He was originally planning to pick you up from the hospital, but Er Zhuzi brought you back. So, let Er Zhuzi take you to Old Lu's house."
"Thank you very much, leaders. I am sorry to have caused you trouble."
"The people you really need to thank are not me, but Erzhuzi, Zhao Dun and Doctor Xu who saved your life."
Chen Rui said gratefully: "When my injury is healed, I will definitely repay everyone's kindness."
"Okay, you follow Erzhuzi. If you need any help, just ask Uncle Lu to give me a message." Xu Nuo said.
"Okay, got it."
Er Zhuzi was going to take Chen Rui to Lv Laoer's house on his bicycle. Before leaving, he remembered that he still had ten yuan left in his pocket. He took it out and gave it to Xu Nuo: "We have just two people eating, so we haven't spent all this money."
Xu Nuo stared at the ten yuan and knew that Erzhuzi and Chen Rui must have saved money for her.
Otherwise, two grown men can’t afford twenty dollars for five days?
"No." Xu Nuo pushed away the money he handed over. "Keep this money. I tore your vest and haven't had time to buy you a new one. Ten dollars is not much. You can buy a new vest. If it's not enough, you can pay for it yourself."
Erzhuzi: "No need, really no need..."
"Don't refuse, take it now, I have to go to work, bye!"
Looking at Xu Nuo's departing back, Er Zhuzi murmured, "A vest costs only seven or eight yuan... it doesn't need to cost ten yuan..."
