Chapter 332 Timely Resolution
Lu Laoer carried a shovel and strode into the crowd, followed by Mu Pingping carrying a rolling pin.
His face turned livid. He pulled Zhou Ling behind him and pounded the ground with a shovel, causing dust to fly.
"Who's going to try and make a move?!" He looked at everyone fiercely, "Do you have any shame to bully a girl from another place?!"
The scene suddenly became quiet, and the impulsive young men took a half step back in disappointment.
Zhou Ling stood behind Lu Laoer, her chest heaving violently and tears falling silently, but her eyes were still stubborn, staring at the group of people, as if she wanted to glare back at all the grievances she had suffered in the past few days.
After Lu Laoer finished shouting, the restlessness in the crowd suddenly subsided.
The villagers looked at each other, and no one dared to rush forward - after all, Lu Laoer was Secretary Lu's uncle, had a high seniority in the village, and his words carried weight.
Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Lu Lao Er snorted coldly, turned to his daughter-in-law Mu Pingping and said, "Pingping, tell us how Junjun got better in the first place?"
Mu Pingping nodded and took a step forward.
She didn't rush to speak, but looked around first, her eyes lingering on the faces of several women holding children for a while, and then she slowly said: "Do you remember what my Junjun looked like a while ago?"
Someone in the crowd whispered, "Isn't that child dying?"
"Yes!" Mu Pingping raised her voice, her eyes instantly reddened, "At that time, Junjun had a high fever that wouldn't go away, rashes all over his body, and he was paralyzed. It felt like he would die soon... The doctors at the county hospital said there was no hope for him, and asked us to prepare for his funeral..."
At this point, her voice choked for a moment, but soon she relaxed again: "But his father and I didn't give up, so we took the child to the military hospital overnight. Guess what happened?"
She paused, and glanced at everyone. Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, she continued, "It was Doctor Xu and Nurse Zhou who saved him."
She was afraid that others didn't know who Dr. Xu and Nurse Zhou were, so she specifically pointed at Xu Nuo and Zhou Ling.
"After my son Junjun went there, the doctor promised to examine him right away. In addition to measles, he also had pneumonia and encephalitis. If they hadn't treated him in time, Junjun would probably be dead now."
As soon as these words came out, low murmurs of discussion arose in the crowd.
Several members of the family who had been making the most noise looked at each other, their expressions somewhat shaken.
"Did they really cure this?" someone asked in a low voice.
"It's absolutely true!" Mu Pingping said firmly, "And Doctor Xu said that if Junjun had been vaccinated earlier, he wouldn't have suffered this pain!"
These words were like a stone thrown into the water, causing a ripple.
Several women holding children looked down at their babies, then stole a glance at Xu Nuo and Zhou Ling, and the hostility in their eyes gradually faded.
Seeing this, Lu Lao Er snorted at the right time: "Now you know what level he is at, right? Are you still going to make trouble?"
No one said anything. The man who had been so aggressive just now scratched his head and took two steps back awkwardly.
The old lady opened her mouth and seemed to want to say something.
Xu Nuo saw it and said to her hurriedly, "Don't worry, Auntie, we will definitely help you cure the child."
The old lady showed a trace of guilt on her face: "Okay, okay."
The old man seemed to feel ashamed as well. He looked at Zhou Ling and felt too embarrassed to speak.
Finally, the old lady pulled him aside and said, "Let's go, let's go."
The crowd gradually dispersed. A few women hesitated for a moment, but still came close to Xu Nuo and asked in a low voice: "Doctor Xu, then... can my child still get the vaccine?"
Xu Nuo smiled slightly and nodded: "Of course, you can register now."
Zhou Ling stood aside with her hair still messy, but as she watched the villagers' attitude change, her tense shoulders finally slowly relaxed.
Mu Pingping came over, quietly put a handkerchief into her hand, and whispered, "Girl, wipe your face."
Zhou Ling took the handkerchief, her fingertips trembling a little, but the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "Thank you sister-in-law, you saved me today!"
"Don't be polite, we are all family." Mu Pingping said, "Don't worry, we are here and we will never let you suffer any injustice again."
"Uncle Lu, sister-in-law, why are you here?" Xu Nuo came over and said gratefully, "Thanks to you, otherwise today would not have ended well."
Mu Pingping looked at Xu Nuo's tired face and felt sorry for her: "This is nothing. You have been wronged by what you said about our village."
Originally, Lu Laoer was squatting in his own vegetable garden and busying himself in the morning, when his third aunt from next door came running over in a panic.
"His second uncle! Go check it out!" Third Aunt held onto the fence and panted, "There's a fight at the entrance of the village. They say it's about the vaccine. Doctor Xu and the others are surrounded!"
When Lu Laoer heard Xu Nuo that he was going to suffer a loss, he stopped working, got up and ran home.
Mu Pingping was working in the yard. When she saw Lv Laoer coming back in a hurry, she asked him, "Dad, what happened?"
"Ping Ping!" He yelled, picked up the shovel in the corner and rushed out, "Follow Dad!"
Mu Pingping was hanging clothes. Upon hearing this, she wiped her wet hands on her apron and ran after him: "Dad, what are you doing with the shovel?"
"Show your strength!" Lv Lao Er kept walking, "Doctor Xu is in trouble, follow me!"
In this way, the two people arrived at the scene in time and rescued Xu Nuo and Zhou Ling.
Liu Chunlan also came over and said, "Thanks to you, Uncle Lu. I really can't control this group of people by myself."
Lv Lao Er was not satisfied with this statement. He sighed and said, "Chunlan, they came here to help. How can you just watch them get bullied? As village leaders, you have to do your job well!"
After this happened, she felt ashamed.
Liu Chunlan could only smile and say, "Yes, yes, we will definitely work hard to do a good job."
As they were talking, Lu Mancang also hurried over. He heard that a fight had broken out at the entrance of the village, but found that there were almost no people here.
"Are you okay?" Lu Mancang asked.
Lu Lao Er glanced at him and said, "If I hadn't arrived in time today, there would have been a big mess! Mancang, where have you been?"
Lu Mancang said embarrassedly: "Uncle, I went to answer the phone! He said it was a call from a senior leader in the army, so I hurried over."
Since this is the case, Lu Laoer can't say anything.
Lu Mancang turned his gaze to Xu Nuo: "Doctor Xu, come with me quickly to answer the phone. The person on the other end is Captain Lu from the army, and he is here specifically to see you."
When he heard that it was Lu Chen, Xu Nuo's heart skipped a beat.
I haven't had time to call him these days, but I didn't expect him to call me.
"Did he say anything?" Xu Nuo asked.
"No, they just said they were looking for you." Lu Mancang asked Xu Nuo curiously, "Then Commander Lu specifically asked for you. Doctor Xu, do you know the big leaders in the army?"
