Lu Mingfa said coldly, "Once you're married, you belong to someone else's family. Why are you always running back to your parents' house? Go back right now!"
Lu Xiaolan was furious when no one spoke up for her, but there was nothing she could do. She realized that if she dared to cause trouble today, she would definitely be beaten badly.
So she glared at everyone fiercely, then ran away crying.
When she got home, Zhao Mingzhe frowned when he saw that she had come back empty-handed: "Didn't you say you were going to your parents' house to get some food? Why did you come back empty-handed? Where's the food?"
Lu Xiaolan was furious; her face was swollen from the slap, and Zhao Mingzhe hadn't offered a single word of comfort, only thinking about food. So she said irritably, "Eat, eat, eat! All you know is eating! What else can you do besides eat? Useless!"
She saved all the good food at home for him to eat during this period, and what was the result?
What a waste of all her good stuff!
That thing is still the same old thing, what else can it be but a piece of junk!
Zhao Mingzhe had never suffered such an insult before.
Moreover, he was even called a good-for-nothing by Lu Xiaolan, who was always gentle and considerate in front of him!
He suddenly remembered the nightmare he had on his wedding night, and his face instantly darkened.
"Lu Xiaolan, who are you calling trash!"
Lu Xiaolan regretted it as soon as she finished cursing. She was so angry that she blurted out the words without thinking.
But seeing Zhao Mingzhe looking at her with the eyes of an enemy, as if he wanted to pierce two holes in her, the anger that had been suppressed in her heart for a while finally erupted.
"Don't you know who I'm talking about? Zhao Mingzhe, what kind of look is that? Do you think I've wronged you? You're a grown man who can't lift a finger, and I'm the one who does everything at home. You just sit here and wait to be served. What else are you but a good-for-nothing?"
"Smack!"
Zhao Mingzhe was provoked by the word "useless" and slapped Lu Xiaolan hard across the face.
Being beaten by her brother and sister-in-law at home, and then by her husband when she got home, Lu Xiaolan was so angry that she went berserk. She yelled and charged at Zhao Mingzhe, and the two of them started fighting.
Although Zhao Mingzhe wasn't very strong, he was still a grown man, and he had been well taken care of by Lu Xiaolan during this time, so he had gained a lot of weight. He fought Lu Xiaolan to a standstill, and both of them were badly injured.
After the two finished fighting, they sat on the ground, one on each side, their faces turning into pig heads.
While other families were happily setting off firecrackers and eating dumplings during the Lunar New Year, their house was cold and empty. Lu Xiaolan hadn't gone to fetch water today, and the water tank was empty; there wasn't even a drop of hot water.
For both Zhao Mingzhe and Lu Xiaolan, this year was the worst year they had ever experienced.
And this is only the beginning.
After having their New Year's Eve dinner and exchanging New Year's greetings at the old house, Ye Weiwei, Huo Xiao, Ye Erge, and Xiao Xingxing went home.
Liu Guilan didn't have any particular custom of staying up all night on New Year's Eve, but she was afraid of disturbing Ye Weiwei's rest, since Ye Weiwei was pregnant.
So after paying New Year's visits and giving out red envelopes, they let everyone go home to sleep.
Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao told Ye Erge that they were going to check on the patients in the shed and asked him to sleep with Xiaoxing first.
Ye Erge waved his hand, indicating that they should go about their own business and not worry about them.
Thanks to the grain and a large piece of venison that Huo Xiao delivered last night, the seven people in the shed had the best New Year they'd ever had in Daqingshan Village.
When Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao arrived, they had just finished eating dumplings. Zheng Weiguo was holding a bowl of dumpling soup and drinking it, saying, "The original soup helps digest the original food. You must drink dumpling soup when you eat dumplings."
Upon seeing Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao arrive, Zheng Weiguo and the others happily exchanged New Year's greetings with them and offered them soup, which Ye Weiwei politely declined.
"I just had dinner at my in-laws' house, and I'm still full."
After saying that, she looked at Old Master Qin, who was getting up on the kang, and quickly said, "Old Master Qin, lie down and don't move around. I'm going to give you another acupuncture treatment soon."
Qin Zhenyuan had already heard about what happened last night from several old friends, and he looked at Ye Weiwei with great affection and gratitude. "Thank you for your help, Dr. Ye."
Ye Weiwei laughed and said, "I dare not call myself a miracle doctor. It's just a rumor among the villagers. Please don't tease me."
Seeing her so humble at such a young age, her sincere eyes, her lack of prejudice and disgust towards them, and her perfectly measured words, Qin Zhenyuan couldn't help but feel even more fond of her.
Since arriving here, he had not felt treated as an equal for a long time.
“I’m not joking. Your medical skills are worthy of such a title. But don’t worry, there are no outsiders here, that’s why I’m saying this. You’re still young, so it’s not advisable to show off too much, lest you attract unnecessary trouble.”
That's a bit too forward for someone you've only known for a short time.
But considering Ye Weiwei's kindness in treating him and the things she brought him, he felt he should say these words.
Ye Weiwei smiled and accepted Old Master Qin's kindness.
While talking to Ye Weiwei, Qin Zhenyuan would occasionally glance at Huo Xiao standing next to her.
Huo Xiao was incredibly perceptive and had long since noticed his scrutinizing gaze, but for some reason, he kept a cold expression and didn't want to talk to him.
Ye Weiwei assumed that Huo Xiao was still upset about being mistaken for a woman by Grandpa Qin last night, and didn't pay much attention to it.
After taking Old Master Qin's pulse, Ye Weiwei found that he was in much better condition than last night. She then gave him another acupuncture treatment and secretly used her supernatural abilities to help him recover, treating some of his minor ailments.
Grandpa Qin felt waves of heat surging through his body, sometimes accompanied by a slight stinging pain, but the stinging pain quickly subsided and disappeared, leaving only comfort.
After Ye Weiwei finished acupuncture, Grandpa Qin felt that something that had been binding him was gone, and his body felt lighter than ever before.
"Dr. Ye, your medical skills have truly surpassed your teacher's. You deserve the title of 'divine doctor'."
Ye Weiwei: "Does Old Qin know my maternal grandfather?"
There was a hint of disappointment in Old Master Qin's eyes: "Back then, Doctor Zhang saved my life. Unfortunately, I was unable to repay him before he went abroad. Now I have been saved by his descendants. I owe him more and more gratitude."
Ye Weiwei joked with a smile, "Does Old Qin still owe my grandfather money for medical treatment back then?"
Old Master Qin quickly replied, "How could I! What kind of person would I be if I didn't even pay for the consultation?"
Ye Weiwei: "Since you've already paid the consultation fee, there's no need to mention repaying it. My grandfather treated and saved lives, and you paid the corresponding consultation fee. The cause and effect are settled, so there's no need to worry about it."
Grandpa Qin was taken aback, and then looked at Ye Weiwei with even more admiration: "As expected of Grandpa Zhang's granddaughter, your tone of voice is exactly the same as your grandfather's back then."
This child, like Old Zhang, is of noble character and clearly a kind and generous person.
