Chapter 46 Char Siu Sister
Unbeknownst to Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng, after they returned home, another commotion erupted at the hospital, providing plenty of entertainment for the shameless onlookers who stayed behind.
After the doctor said Wu Meifang was alright, Qin Ziwen and Wu's family couldn't wait to go in and check on her condition.
Regardless of whether it was out of concern or not, the group of people rushed into the ward very quickly.
Wu Meifang lay pale and weak in the hospital bed, looking utterly pitiful, which broke the hearts of her family. Their daughter, their little sister, was always pampered at home; when had she ever suffered like this?
It's all Qin Ziwen's fault, that pretty boy!
"Little sister?! How are you?"
"Meifang, are you feeling better?"
Wu Meifang opened her eyes groggily, her unfocused gaze sweeping over the worried faces of her family members before finally landing on Qin Ziwen's bruised and swollen face. Her pupils widened instantly.
"ah!"
"Brother Ziwen, your face, what happened to your face?!"
"Tell me, who is it? Who beat you up like this? I'll get my older brothers to go and beat him up!"
Wu Meifang was already angry because the accident almost harmed the child she was carrying with Ziwen, and when she saw Qin Ziwen's obviously injured face, she immediately exploded.
The Wu brothers felt a chill run down their spines. Last time, fearing their sister would be angry, they had only hit Qin Ziwen's body, leaving no marks on his face. Afterwards, they threatened Qin Ziwen not to tell his sister, so Wu Meifang had no idea what had happened.
In his anger, he became careless and left a mark on his face.
The doctor said that the younger sister couldn't get angry right now, otherwise the baby in her womb would be in danger. In a moment of panic, the Wu brothers glared fiercely at Qin Ziwen, knowing that the pretty boy wouldn't dare say a word!
Qin Ziwen's eyes flickered. Just as he was considering whether to subtly hint at Wu Meifang, he saw his brother-in-law's fist, as big as a sandbag, clenched so tightly it made a "crackling" sound, and his eyes were also staring at him fiercely.
Sure enough, Qin Ziwen immediately chickened out; now was not a good time.
So he deliberately spoke in a nonchalant tone, "It's nothing. I accidentally bumped into someone on the way to the hospital and that's why I got beaten up."
Wu's eldest brother: "!!!" This pretty boy is indeed a treacherous villain!
The Wu family all glared at Qin Ziwen, but they couldn't expose him, which made them extremely frustrated.
Wu Meifang was moved to tears, "Brother Ziwen, you've suffered for me. I know how you feel about me, I know everything."
Qin Ziwen pursed his lips, "It's okay, as long as you're okay, I don't care what happens to you. As long as you're alright, that's all that matters."
"Brother Ziwen..."
The two held hands, their eyes red and gazing deeply into each other's eyes.
Others: ...
The onlookers gathered in the courtyard outside the house were so excited their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"Ah, so, Qin Ziwen is actually good at charming women?"
"Is this girl missing a screw? Has she forgotten how she ended up in the hospital?"
This girl ended up in the hospital because of Aunt Yan's kick. Even if Qin Ziwen was injured while taking her to the hospital, there's no need to be so moved, is there? After all, it was his family who caused the trouble!
They immediately looked with sympathy at the Wu family members who had rushed in with anxious and worried expressions, only to be ignored by Wu Meifang.
Having such a daughter must have been tough for them.
In the hospital room, after pouring out their hearts to each other, Wu Meifang lovingly touched the wounds on Qin Ziwen's face while scolding him.
"How can this person be so rude? You only bumped into him lightly, how could he hit you? How uncouth! So petty! You only bumped into him, maybe he wasn't looking where he was going and bumped into you, how could he turn around and beat you up like this, he's not a man!"
Wu Meifang was not a girl with a good temper. As the youngest child in the family, she was loved by her parents and spoiled by her older brothers and sisters. Wu Meifang always got whatever she wanted at home, and even her two sisters-in-law had to avoid her. She never suffered any grievances.
Seeing her beloved Ziwen brother beaten up like this, she was furious.
Wu Meifang didn't notice the embarrassed looks on her two brothers' faces. She said fiercely, "A person with violent tendencies like this should be sent to the police station and made to sit in jail!"
They actually beat Ziwen up like this, they deserve to die!
As soon as she said that, not only did Wu's brother look unhappy, but Wu's two sisters-in-law, who had been standing silently to the side, also became displeased.
"Meifang, it's best not to start hurling insults before you've figured things out. Why don't you ask why this pretty boy got beaten up? Why was he the only one being attacked? Isn't it his own fault?"
Wu Meifang's two sisters-in-law, despite being pampered by the whole family, have always had little presence in the household. Over the years, they have suffered a lot from this spoiled sister-in-law and don't have much affection for her.
In addition, my sister-in-law recently got pregnant out of wedlock and cheated on me, making them lose face. She also cursed and insulted their men. My anger kept rising and I couldn't hold it in anymore.
Wu Meifang was bossy and very dissatisfied. "How did I curse people randomly? Why was I beaten? It's just that I was blind and bumped into someone, so I got angry and beat him up. The person who beat up Brother Ziwen is rude, petty, vengeful, and has violent tendencies! People like that should stay in the fenced area so they don't cause trouble for others outside!"
Wu's eldest sister-in-law was furious and spat viciously, "Rude, petty, and violent? If it weren't for your mess, would your brother have fought with someone?! You even want to send your brother to jail, you heartless ingrate! I think the one who should be sent in is you, you shameless slut!"
The words "broken shoe" deeply stung Wu Meifang's recently sensitive nerves. Her face flushed red, and she screamed wildly in anger.
"Aaaaah! I'm not a slut, I'm not a slut..."
"What right do you have? What right do you have to insult me like that?! Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to insult me?!"
As a result, Wu Meifang's stomach started hurting again from anger.
"Little sister! Are you alright?!"
"Meifang, what's wrong? Why does it hurt again?"
Wu's parents and two older brothers quickly came over to comfort him.
Even though they were embarrassed by their younger sister's scolding, the two older brothers from the Wu family were still very concerned about their little sister's discomfort. After all, their little sister didn't know that they were the ones who hit Qin Ziwen, so what did she do wrong?
"Little sister, your sister-in-law doesn't know how to talk, don't take it to heart, don't be angry, the doctor said you can't get angry." As she spoke, she winked at Wu's eldest sister-in-law, signaling her to apologize to Wu Meifang.
Wu's eldest sister-in-law didn't want to apologize, but her parents-in-law and husband were all watching her. She knew that if anything happened to her sister-in-law, her life in her husband's family would definitely not be easy. So she had no choice but to hold her breath and say in a sarcastic tone, "I'm sorry, little sister. I'm just too blunt and don't know how to speak properly. Please don't hold it against me."
Unexpectedly, Wu Meifang looked up at her two brothers with a reproachful expression, "Brothers, why did you hit Ziwen? What did he do to you?"
Wu Meifang pursed her lips and said, "I know that Ziwen is smarter and more outstanding, but the family's resources won't be used on his son-in-law. You don't need to be jealous of him. Brother, I beg you, please don't touch him, okay?"
Qin Ziwen: "!!!" He wanted his father-in-law's help, not to offend his father-in-law to death!
He quickly covered Wu Meifang's mouth, but it was too late. The others had already heard everything, both what they should and shouldn't have heard.
The onlookers outside: "!!!"
This is truly eye-opening!
It's unbelievable that a brother can be unfairly blamed for standing up for his sister.
Uh, this girl is really missing a screw in her head, she doesn't seem very smart!
Qin Ziwen chuckled, "Big brother, second brother, Meifang just misunderstood. She's young and doesn't understand, so please don't hold it against her."
The two older brothers from the Wu family looked extremely grim. Their earlier cursing could be excused by claiming their younger sister didn't know they were the ones who hit her. But they were clearly acting in her best interest, and yet, the girl they'd cherished since childhood thought this of them?
The two older brothers of the Wu family were truly heartbroken. "Heartbroken" wouldn't be an exaggeration.
The two sisters-in-law of the Wu family sneered and spat, "Pah! You heartless ingrates!"
"Let's go, let's go!"
They each forcefully pulled their men out of the house, telling them to stop getting involved.
Heartbroken, Wu's brother actually left with his wife.
Wu's parents' faces were as black as the bottom of a pot. They had seen how their two sons treated their youngest daughter, and they could say that their sons treated her even worse than they had. They never expected that their youngest daughter would make such assumptions about her two brothers. The two old people felt a little uncomfortable.
He wanted to give her a scolding, but looking at Wu Meifang's pale and haggard face, his heartache ultimately prevailed.
With red eyes, Wu's mother softened her tone and said, "Meifang, take good care of yourself and don't overthink things. We'll go back and talk to your brother and sister-in-law; they definitely won't be angry with you. Just tell us what you want to eat, and I'll have your dad buy it. Just stay here and relax; Xiao Qin and I will stay here with you."
Qin Ziwen quickly said, "Yes, yes, Meifang, your most important thing right now is to take good care of yourself. Your two brothers thought I hadn't taken good care of you, and that's why they accidentally bumped into me in their haste. Please don't be angry with them, and don't overthink things. There's no such thing as jealousy. Saying things like that will only hurt your two brothers' feelings."
Qin Ziwen thought to himself, if he had a sister like that, he would have kicked her out of the house long ago, and wouldn't care. But now he was the sister's boyfriend and also had to rely on his two brothers-in-law, so naturally he had to say nice things.
He felt that he had used "in a moment of panic" and "by chance" very skillfully.
Sure enough, seeing that this person was not deliberately trying to sow discord between their families, Wu's parents had a slightly better impression of him and gave him their first smile that wasn't quite a smile in a while.
"Xiao Qin, please take good care of Meifang these days."
"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Qin Ziwen secretly rejoiced; thankfully, he had turned misfortune into blessing. Wu Meifang made a foolish mistake; compared to him, the two old women of the Wu family had actually changed their opinion of him somewhat.
After a while, when the Wu family gradually forgets about this matter, I can take Wu Meifang to coax them, and they will probably be able to fully accept me.
...
Qin Ziwen, who was secretly pleased with himself, had no idea that someone else was thinking about him at that very moment.
At the entrance of the alley, behind the public toilet, a young couple was pouring out their hearts to each other.
Zheng Haicheng stared in shock at Bai Xiaohui's haggard face.
"Xiaohui, what happened to you? Have you been having a bad time lately?"
So, poor Zheng Haicheng was finally discharged from the hospital a few days ago. As for the beating, since he stubbornly refused to say he was there to sell bicycles, and the police had no other evidence, the matter was left unresolved.
He knew it was shameful to be beaten, so he usually stayed home and didn't go out. This was the first time he had seen Bai Xiaohui since he came back. He never expected that in such a short time, his goddess seemed to have completely changed.
Look at that messy, dull hair, that slightly dark complexion, and those bloodless lips…
Zheng Haicheng felt extremely sorry for him.
"Haicheng, I, I, sob sob sob... It's all Qin Ziwen's fault, he's the one who ruined me!" Bai Xiaohui cried as she spoke, her face contorted with humiliation.
She recounted the incident at the vegetable cellar in fragments, omitting parts of it. However, she changed the story of Bai Zhenzhu asking Qin Ziwen for help to Qin Ziwen making an appointment with Bai Xiaohui and then standing her up, which led to Grandpa Guo's misunderstanding.
"This is outrageous! This is absolutely outrageous!" Zheng Haicheng slammed his fist against the wall, sending plaster flying.
In the restroom, Cheng Jiajia, her hair covered in dust, exclaimed: "!!!"
She really just wanted to use the restroom, why did this have to happen to her?!
Zheng Haicheng dared not blame the older and more senior Uncle Guo, so he could only direct his resentment at Qin Ziwen.
He was the one who teased Xiaohui; otherwise, how could Xiaohui have become like this?
He sneered, "Xiaohui, don't worry, I will definitely get revenge for you!" That damned Qin Ziwen, the girl he cherished most, how dare he play with her like this, just wait and see how I deal with him!
Bai Xiaohui's eyes flickered, and she hesitated, "Isn't this a bad idea? Qin Ziwen is the factory's propaganda officer after all. If he finds out, neither of us will be in trouble."
Zheng Haicheng patted his chest, a smug look on his face. "Xiaohui, don't worry, I'm always reliable. He won't find out. Besides, even if he does find out, it's my own decision, what does it have to do with you?" He was determined to teach Qin Ziwen a lesson!
Bai Xiaohui finally agreed reluctantly.
"But now my reputation is ruined, what am I going to do?"
Zheng Haicheng hesitated for a moment, looked around, and seeing that no one was around, whispered, "I'm telling you, but don't tell anyone, my brother found out some inside information that the factory will be hiring soon. Once I pass the exam to become a worker at the machinery factory, I'll come and marry you, okay?"
Bai Xiaohui's eyes lit up, and she started calculating in her mind, "Really? The machine factory is really hiring?"
"Of course, would I lie to you? Don't worry, I'll definitely pass the exam, and then I'll have my mom propose marriage."
Bai Xiaohui looked touched. "Haicheng, you're so good to me. You're the only one who still trusts me and treats me well." But in her heart, she didn't believe for a second that this good-for-nothing could pass the exam.
Zheng Haicheng took Bai Xiaohui's hand affectionately, "You've always known how I feel about you, Xiaohui. Thank you for being with me."
A stench of unwashed body wafted over, and Bai Xiaohui struggled but couldn't break free. She was forced to lean against this person, her face turning blue from the stench.
Cheng Jiajia: "!!!"
Why should she hear this while she's on the toilet?
This cheesy conversation is seriously affecting her performance!
but……
Zheng Haiyang was not surprised that the technical department was recruiting, but she was curious about why Zheng Haicheng was talking about how he was sure he would pass the exam.
Putting aside his abilities, if she remembered correctly, Zheng Haicheng only graduated from junior high school, right? Zou Qingshu said he was recruiting high school graduates, so he probably couldn't even register.
