Cuiju responded with a smile, thinking to herself, 'Me, better? I wonder who's better!'
If that's the case, if anyone asks again, just give them an impossible answer; anyway, they're definitely just a temporary worker.
Thinking that this would get rid of these people's entanglement, she didn't expect that someone would be jealous and directly sow discord between the sisters.
"Cuiju, how could you be so selfish? You had the chance to go to the city, why didn't you think about your other sisters?"
"You went by yourself without saying a word? Even if someone were to go, shouldn't it be your eldest sister?"
Tang Cuihua wasn't going to fall for it. "When I got this job, I hadn't been jilted yet! If Cuiju doesn't go, who will?"
"That's not right. Even if you don't want to break off the engagement, you can still go. Once you have a good job, would the Huang family still let you break off the engagement?"
Cuihua was speechless: "So the Huang family broke off the engagement with me because I didn't have a job? It was because of a marriage exchange, okay?"
"That's not right. Even if it were a marriage exchange, it wouldn't be Huang Xin's turn, would it? People would choose gold over Huang Xin."
Tang Cuihua gave her sister-in-law, who was speaking, a meaningful look.
"Well... that's none of our business, is it?"
"No, are you really willing to be jilted? After all, with your qualifications,"
Tang Cuiju frowned. "What do you mean by that? What's wrong with my sister's qualities? Is she not good enough for Huang Xin?"
The woman gave an awkward smile. "No, what I mean is, wasn't your sister looking for a son-in-law to live with her family? In all these years in our village, only Huang Xin was willing. Now that your sister's engagement has been broken off, what will happen in the future...?"
Cuihua pulled back the angry Tang Cuiju and replied with a gentle smile.
"Are you saying that if I miss out on Huang Xin, I'll never be able to find a son-in-law to live with me in this lifetime?"
Although the woman's face showed apology, anyone could see the schadenfreude in her eyes.
Cuihua wasn't annoyed. She hadn't announced that she had a job yet, and as for whether she could find a son-in-law in the future...
"Don't worry about it. Instead of thinking about that, why don't you think about how to divide the next meal in your family?"
After all, compared to the unfairness in your family, my family's actual situation seems to be a bit better than yours, right?
It's not a big deal if we can't find a son-in-law or get married; at least our family can!
These words, which went straight to the heart, made the woman's face turn pale, but she couldn't lash out in public.
Everyone knows that her mother-in-law is unfair. She doesn't distribute food according to labor, but according to her own personal preferences.
No matter how stifled she felt at her in-laws' house, she would find ways to vent her frustrations outside.
Tang Cuihua initially felt sorry for her, but her gloating expression was really irritating, so she naturally stopped being polite to her.
You shouldn't expose someone's dirty secrets, but today, she did exactly that. If you don't even give me face, why should I give you face?
In the end, the crowd of onlookers dispersed in displeasure, and Cuiju finally had a chance to eat a bowl of hand-pulled noodles made by her sisters.
After the meal, Cuiju quickly called Xiaojiu over: "Come on, I have something good for you."
Xiao Jiu curiously leaned closer: "What's that, sis?"
"That Cao Li next door, the water resources bureau official you rescued, she was discharged from the hospital after you left, and she was still regretting not seeing you."
So I bought you two fountain pens, two of these high-quality notebooks with plastic covers, plus two bottles of ink, one black and one dark blue.
As he spoke, he handed the gift to Xiao Jiu.
Upon taking a look, I exclaimed, "Wow, it's a Hero brand fountain pen! This pen isn't cheap!"
Moreover, the packaging was intact, with the box included, and two were given away at once. Each one must cost at least seven or eight yuan, right?
These notebooks are the most high-end plastic-covered thick notebooks available today; you might not even finish using both of them during your two years of high school.
There's even ink, one black and one blue—they've thought of everything.
“I absolutely refused to accept it, but she said it was a life-saving favor and that what she gave me was nothing, so she insisted that I accept it.”
As he finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Sister Cao has had a tough time. She's just recovered from a serious illness and still has to catch a train. Luckily, her son came and helped her leave. She won't be back until after the Lantern Festival. She'll thank you in person then!"
Xiao Jiu was very happy to receive the gift; the feeling of being affirmed by others was wonderful.
On the other hand, Tang Cuimei was genuinely happy for her.
"That's great. Our little Jiu is so young, yet he has already saved so many people."
"Where are you, sis? I'm nowhere near as good as you. But you're right, saving lives does make you feel proud."
It was a genuine joy, a feeling that after so many years of studying medicine, I finally had a chance to use my skills, and I felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Tang Cuixiang suddenly regretted studying civil engineering: "Is it too late for me to study medicine now?"
Tang Cuimei rolled her eyes at him: "Didn't you say before that persuading someone to study medicine would be struck by lightning? What, are you seeing the benefits now?"
Tang Cuixiang immediately shook her head vigorously.
"No, no, no, there's no sweetness in it. Just the fact that you all study your whole lives is enough to drive me crazy. I was just saying it casually, don't take it seriously. Studying civil engineering is great. The future construction of our motherland needs us to contribute our efforts."
"Have I not told you yet that I also got a degree in forensic medicine on the side?"
Xiao Jiu's eyes suddenly widened.
"My goodness, Fifth Sister, you're amazing! You're studying clinical medicine while also pursuing a degree in forensic medicine? What do you plan to do in the future?"
"I'll learn when I have time. As for the future, we'll see how it goes."
Xiao Jiu suddenly found it much harder to swallow.
"Forensic medicine, that's a degree that most people can't get. Sis, have you ever smelled that smell?"
I've heard that in the days when technology was underdeveloped, forensic doctors had a very, very tough job.
Many people have also been infected with cadaveric toxins, and their lungs have been infected, leaving them with sequelae.
Although dealing with the dead is quite peaceful, sister,
"Let me give you some advice: never think about changing careers in the future. Just help out occasionally."
After Xiao Jiu said that, the other sisters finally understood what the forensic doctor meant.
"Could it be some kind of coroner we used to talk about? The one who examines corpses for the government?"
After Xiao Jiu nodded in agreement, the others stared at Tang Cuimei, seemingly finding it hard to understand why she would learn this.
Cui Mei didn't show any particular emotion.
"I studied it out of curiosity. Clinical medicine and forensic medicine are not contradictory. An excellent forensic doctor must first be an excellent clinician. If the two can be combined, they can reach a new level. I just wanted to make myself more professional. You can try it in the future, Xiao Jiu."
Xiao Jiu was about to say that she was too timid to learn it, but then she thought, which medical student didn't start by vomiting, screaming and resisting?
When I first started taking anatomy classes, I vomited bile. But I studied it for eight or nine years, and eventually it became muscle memory.
Isn't the same true for forensic doctors?
However, what Fifth Sister said was not wrong. If you want to become an excellent forensic doctor, you must first be an excellent clinician.
