During this period, Xie Yanzhao has done a lot of good things for the villagers. The captain would ask this question, otherwise, if it were someone else, the villagers would have taken action directly. Didn't you see that the people who followed were glaring at them?
The countryside is xenophobic, and this place is no exception.
The villagers usually fight each other like cross-eyed chickens, but if they are bullied by outsiders, the whole village will come to seek justice.
Zhou Peng is a psychopath, but he is also a villager, and others will not watch him being beaten by outsiders.
Xie Yanzhao said calmly: "He wants to strangle Ruan Zhiqing to death."
The captain was shocked, and the other villagers had the same reaction.
"How is that possible?"
"Why would that kid from the Zhou family want to strangle Ruan Zhiqing for no reason?"
"This is murder..."
"Could this be a misunderstanding..."
They also saw the marks on Ruan Mingfu's neck and swallowed the rest of their words.
It was because Ruan Mingfu looked too miserable, and there was a large mark on her originally fair and slender neck. One could imagine how much effort Zhou Peng had put in.
The villagers didn't know what to say.
The captain sighed and said, "Ruan Zhiqing, could there be something in here..."
Before the old man finished speaking, Zhou's mother suddenly became excited.
"Bullshit!" Mother Zhou was afraid of Xie Yanzhao standing by, so she didn't step forward to tear Ruan Mingfu apart. "I know how good my son is to this bitch. He's not so good to me, his own mother, so how could my son strangle her to death?"
"He was beaten up like this by your mistress, and yet you still want to frame him like this? You have such a dark heart!"
Mother Zhou became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and all the dissatisfaction that had been accumulating for days burst out.
"Bitch! It's all your fault. How could my son be so blind as to fall for you!"
"I don't want to be favored by your son either," Ruan Mingfu was helped up by Xie Yanzhao, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't you want to report to the police? Then report it. You sue us for assault, which is perfect. I also want to sue Zhou Peng for murder."
Ruan Mingfu had never hated anyone so much.
Her gaze fell on Zhou's mother, with hatred in her beautiful eyes.
Ruan Mingfu said word by word: "Your son threatened and forced me to marry him. If I didn't agree, he would use my parents as a scapegoat. I wouldn't even want a man like him!"
Her throat was injured and it hurt every time she spoke a word.
Ruan Mingfu's brows were tightly furrowed and never relaxed.
"You little bitch, you are talking nonsense. My son has never done such a thing!"
Facing the suspicious gazes of the villagers, Zhou's mother's fat face turned red with anger.
The villagers know best what kind of person Zhou Peng is.
Moreover, he had previously beaten up all those who had been courting Ruan Mingfu. This incident caused a big stir at the time, and the villagers even gossiped about it.
But they are not the ones affected, so they can just turn a blind eye and let it go.
The old women whose sons were beaten could only swallow their anger due to the power of the Zhou family and only cursed the Zhou family behind their backs.
If we bring it up again now, everyone will look unhappy.
"You clearly had an affair with this man and wanted to get rid of my son, so you framed him like this," Zhou's mother said, the more she felt that this was the truth, "You are so shameless that you deliberately inflicted injuries on yourself in order to frame my son."
Zhou's mother started crying again, "My son is so miserable, falling in love with such a shameless bitch!"
Xie Yanzhao's face darkened, "Speak more politely."
"Captain! I want to report that these two people are having an affair."
The dirty words that were on the tip of her tongue were stuck in her mouth, and Zhou's mother almost passed out. She sat on the ground, opened her eyes and looked over, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
——Are these two people too close?
After this, Ruan Mingfu's whole body exuded the frailty of Lin Daiyu. She leaned on Xie Yanzhao, one hand still tightly grasping his clothes. And Xie Yanzhao did not seem to avoid her at all, one hand gently held her, in a protective posture.
If there is nothing going on between the two of them, Zhou's mother's life would have been wasted!
Ruan Mingfu stared at her with wide eyes.
At this moment, she seemed to see the figure of Xu Pandi in Zhou's mother.
The villagers also looked over.
But Xie Yanzhao and Ruan Mingfu did not show any sign of avoiding the public, and they were still the same as before.
"Are they a little too close?"
"Even if Ruan Zhiqing was injured, men and women shouldn't be so close to each other."
"There is definitely something wrong with these two people!"
"Could it be true that the two of them are having an affair, as the Zhou family said?"
The captain had a headache, but he couldn't ignore it. But looking at Xie Yanzhao's ferocious face, he swallowed all his questions. He turned his head and pointed the spearhead at Ruan Mingfu: "Ruan Zhiqing, do you have anything to say?"
Ruan Mingfu pursed her lips, but heard Xie Yanzhao firmly say: "Ruan Zhiqing is my fiancée, and we will get the marriage certificate after the marriage report comes out."
Captain: “!!!”
Folks: “!!!”
Hearing the noise, the educated youth who came to join in the fun said: "!!!"
But the one who was even more shocked was Xu Zhu who was standing beside him: "......!!!"
My goodness, he was just regretting that Xie Yanzhao wouldn't seize the opportunity, and now his brother says they are together?
Xu Zhu felt very complicated.
Moreover, he and Xie Yanzhao had been together all the time, but he didn't even know about their affairs.
That's too much!
This is so abominable. If it had been any later, should we have let him attend the baby's full moon banquet directly?
Xu Zhu's sharp eyes turned into knives and shot towards Xie Yanzhao.
Compared to Xu Zhu's feeling of being kept in the dark, the female educated youth's feelings were much simpler.
Thinking of Ruan Mingfu's previous words that she would capture Xie Yanzhao within seven days, they laughed and ridiculed her at that time. Now hearing this news, the educated youth felt that their faces were swollen.
Although Xie Yanzhao had sent Ruan Mingfu back to the educated youth point before, they were mentally prepared.
But I just thought they were dating, but I didn't expect they were actually planning to get married.
Xu Pandi in the crowd was even more angry and jealous.
hateful!
How did Ruan Mingfu do it? I really want to learn.
"Impossible!" Zhou's mother shouted, "They had never been in contact before, how could they suddenly say they wanted to get married?! I don't believe it, this must have been planned by you two."
The captain glared at her and said, "Old Zhou, shut up."
He had been in the army, so he naturally knew the approval process for military marriages. From what Xie Yanzhao said, the marriage report had already been submitted, so it was probably decided long ago.
"Captain, are they going to let it go even though they beat my son like this?"
Mother Zhou was so angry that blood might bleed out of her.
"I don't care! They beat up my son, I'm going to make them go to jail!"
"Old Zhou, calm down." The Zhou family has a younger brother-in-law who is an official in the Communist Party of China, and the captain does not want to get involved in his family's affairs. "Now Ruan Zhiqing said that Zhou Peng wants to kill him, you have to think it over carefully."
Mother Zhou: “…”
She knew better than anyone that the wound on Ruan Mingfu's neck was caused by her son.
But Zhou Peng was beaten like this, and Zhou's mother hated him so much that she really didn't want to let them go so easily.
When she saw Lin Yujiao's figure, her eyes lit up.
"Yujiao, tell me, what exactly happened?"
The captain also looked at her.
The villagers also thought it made sense.
"Yujiao called us here. She should know what's going on."
"Yujiao, speak with confidence!"
“That’s right!”
Compared to Zhou Peng killing someone, the villagers are more accepting of Xie Yanzhao beating someone. The former is a scandal after all, and it will affect young people's marriage proposals if it gets out. If it is the latter, Zhou Peng is the victim, and he is right no matter what he says.
Lin Yujiao was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't speak rashly under the gazes of so many people.
She watched it from beginning to end and knew that Zhou Peng was not innocent. If it really counted, Xie Yanzhao would deserve it even if he beat him to death.
But if she said that, the first person she would offend would be Zhou's mother.
All her previous flattery was in vain. It would be difficult for her to marry into the Zhou family in the future. If she said... Lin Yujiao suddenly met Xie Yanzhao's eyes and was frightened. Her body trembled and she fell backwards.
Her parents quickly took her in. "Yujiao has never seen anything like this before. She must be terrified."
Mother Zhou: “…”
If you fail at the critical moment, you are useless.
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
Seeing Lin Yujiao's eyelashes still trembling slightly after she fell down, Ruan Mingfu was speechless.
At this moment, stretcher bearers and doctors rushed over, and several people worked together to lift Zhou Peng up. A tractor also drove over and carefully placed Zhou Peng on it.
The captain came over and said, "Comrade Xie, take Ruan Zhiqing to the hospital."
"No need," Ruan Mingfu knew the village chief's good intentions, but seeing the look on Zhou's mother's face as if she wanted to eat her, the people standing beside her also looked at her with murderous intent.
Ruan Mingfu still rejected the captain's kindness.
After this incident, she valued her life very much and didn't want to be with these dangerous people.
The captain frowned, "But your injury..."
"The captain is right. The wound on your neck is not light. You should go to the hospital," Xie Yanzhao raised his hand towards a place not far away, and a military vehicle stopped in front of them with a tailspin.
In the driver's seat was Xu Zhu.
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
Hadn't he been here all the time before? How come she didn't know when he left?
The villagers' eyes almost popped out of their heads. If it wasn't a military vehicle, they would have really wanted to touch it. The educated youths looked at this scene with envy in their eyes.
Xie Yanzhao directly picked up Ruan Mingfu and carried her sideways.
She felt dizzy, and when she came to her senses, she leaned softly in Xie Yanzhao's arms. When she looked up, she saw his firm and resolute chin.
Ruan Mingfu grabbed his clothes with one hand, but her heart was beating wildly. Facing everyone's gaze, even if Ruan Mingfu was thick-skinned, she couldn't stand this scene, her face flushed, as if she had put on a layer of rouge.
She simply buried her face in Xie Yanzhao's arms, trying to pretend she didn't see anything.
After the two got in the car, they closed the door to isolate themselves from all the envious looks from others.
Mother Zhou was so angry when she saw the mighty military vehicle. Then she saw it shooting out like an arrow, while the tractor she was sitting on could not start for a long time. Mother Zhou was so angry that her face was twisted.
The four-wheeled vehicle was much faster than the tractor, and we arrived at the hospital in no time.
At this time, there were not many people in the hospital.
The doctor who examined Ruan Mingfu was a middle-aged female doctor. She frowned tightly and looked at the scar on her neck. Her eyes glanced vaguely at Xie Yanzhao and Xu Zhu.
"Little girl, how did you get this injury?"
“Hiss… it hurts…”
Ruan Mingfu's face was pale, and tears were in her beautiful peach blossom eyes. The scar on her neck was more swollen than before, and it hurt when touched.
The female doctor sighed, "...it should have injured the soft tissue inside."
"Is it serious?"
Xie Yanzhao watched this scene.
His brows were tightly furrowed, and his temperament looked even more ferocious.
The female doctor ignored him.
Xie Yanzhao: “…”
Ruan Mingfu leaned on Xie Yanzhao and raised her head to facilitate the doctor's examination.
Seeing a horrible palm print on the originally beautiful and slender neck, Xie Yanzhao's face was as gloomy as water, and he looked like a bandit who had committed all kinds of evil and had killed several people.
"Two men, go out," the female doctor's hands trembled, "I need to do other tests."
"Ah?" Xu Zhu looked at the female doctor blankly, "It's just a neck injury, do you want to check other parts of my body?"
The female doctor's face darkened: "Get out!"
Xie Yanzhao and Xu Zhu had no choice but to go out.
After closing the door, the female doctor's expression became much more relaxed, and she was even gentler to Ruan Mingfu.
"What is your relationship with them?"
Do you have to ask these questions when seeing a doctor these days?
Ruan Mingfu was a little confused.
"One... is my fiancé," Ruan Mingfu said, blushing as she spoke of their relationship in front of a stranger for the first time, "and the other is his comrade-in-arms."
"The tall and strong one?" the female doctor asked, "Is he a soldier?"
Ruan Mingfu nodded.
The female doctor's expression also changed, "Did he hit someone?"
Ruan Mingfu stared at the female doctor with eyes wide open in surprise. Then she realized that this was the only hospital in Xuancheng, and Zhou's mother must have sent Zhou Peng here.
The female doctor must have known about it and felt that Xie Yanzhao was too harsh. Thinking of this, Ruan Mingfu couldn't help but make a rebuttal.
"That's because he deserves to be beaten. He's a good man."
Can someone with the temperament of a bandit leader be called a good person?
The female doctor still warned, "As a woman, you can't be too soft. If a man is wrong, you can't indulge him. We have to protect ourselves first before we can talk about other things."
Although I don't know what the female doctor is talking about, it sounds reasonable.
Ruan Mingfu nodded obediently.
What a beautiful and innocent girl, how could that evil spirit have the heart to kill her?
The female doctor wanted to help her, so she said, "The neck is our most vulnerable part. We don't know if the bones are injured. I'll write you a prescription and go to the second floor to take an X-ray."
"To be on the safe side, it's best to stay in the hospital for one night. Eat a light diet, preferably liquid food..."
Ruan Mingfu took the list and was about to stand up, but the female doctor couldn't help but ask: "Do you have anything to tell me?"
She thought about it, and then responded: "...Thank you, doctor."
Female doctor: “…”
…
Gu Yilin came in from the main door carrying something, and happened to see the backs of Ruan Mingfu and Xie Yanzhao disappearing in the corridor. She tilted her head, feeling somewhat familiar.
She didn't think too much about it and went straight into the female doctor's office.
"Aunt, here I come!"
The female doctor looked at the visitor, her serious eyes full of smiles.
"Why are you here? You're already 17 or 18 years old, but you still look like a child."
"What do I want to do when I grow up?" Gu Yilin pulled out a chair and sat on it. "Aunt, are you busy now?"
The female doctor looked up at her and asked, "Why, do you need my help?"
"Aunt really understands me," Gu Yilin smiled flatteringly at the female doctor and brought up the things he brought. "Only Aunt can help me with this."
The female doctor was very pleased with her niece's flattery, and the smile on her face deepened.
"Take it away!" The female doctor glared at her. "Why are you trying to trick your aunt? Just tell me what you want to say."
Gu Yilin chuckled, "Aunt, I heard that the hospital needs a temporary worker to dispense medicine?"
"Where did you hear that?"
The female doctor put down the pen in her hand and looked up at her.
"I just...overheard it by chance," Gu Yilin said anxiously, "Aunt, just tell me if you need it or not?"
"You don't want to work at the supply and marketing cooperative anymore?" The female doctor looked at her seriously. "Your job is a formal one, and the hospital wants temporary workers."
Gu Yilin realized that the female doctor had misunderstood and quickly explained.
"It's not me, it's a friend of mine."
"She grew up with me, and then her family got into trouble, so she became an educated youth here," Gu Yilin said hesitantly, "The last time I met her here, she was having a miserable life."
Gu Yilin felt sad when he thought of the way Ruan Mingfu's eyes lit up when she saw meat.
What a hard life her fake bestie has been leading.
The female doctor frowned and thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out who she was talking about.
This niece of hers was spoiled by her brother and sister-in-law. She was arrogant and self-willed. But when she was sweet-mouthed, she was really sweet-mouthed. When she was irritating, she was really irritating. Therefore, she had few friends since she was a child.
Being able to tolerate Gu Yilin's bad temper and being her friend, wouldn't that be taking advantage of her, right?
"She is very beautiful, you will definitely like her."
Gu Yilin's eyes sparkled.
The female doctor frowned, but didn't say anything final. Gu Yilin was simple and easy to deceive, but she was not that easy to fool.
"Bring your friend over someday, and I'll meet him first."
Thinking of this, the female doctor mentioned Ruan Mingfu.
"I just saw a pretty girl," the female doctor took a sip of water, "but her eyesight wasn't very good. She fell in love with a man like that. Even after being beaten like this, she was still willing to marry him."
The female doctor said this and shook her head regretfully.
"You haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already hitting someone?" Gu Yilin despised people who swallowed their anger the most. "How can such a mentally ill person be pretty? My friend is really pretty."
Gu Yilin felt jealous when he thought of Ruan Mingfu's face, which was as smooth as a peeled egg.
Her face, which she applied with lotion every day, was not as smooth and tender as Ruan Mingfu's face, which was exposed to the wind and sun every day.
hateful!
Once she gets Ruan Mingfu under her nose, she will definitely dig out Ruan Mingfu's skin care secrets.
…
Ruan Mingfu didn't know that someone was plotting against her behind her back. She was already in the ward. Xie Yanzhao arranged a single room for her, which was not so noisy.
She really loves this man's thoughtfulness.
Xu Zhu: ...It was clearly arranged by him.
Xie Yanzhao opened the medicine prescribed by the female doctor.
One for internal use and one for external use. He handed the medicine over, and also prepared warm water for drinking.
It can be said that Ruan Mingfu was well taken care of by Xie Yanzhao.
Even the housekeeper in her previous life was not so attentive.
The medicine at this time was not a capsule, nor was it coated with sugar. Ruan Mingfu took the medicine and smelled its bitter taste before she even got close to it.
Ruan Mingfu's delicate little face was wrinkled into a ball, full of bitterness and hatred.
"Are you afraid of taking medicine?" Xie Yanzhao looked at her with amusement as he saw her holding the medicine and hesitating.
She pursed her red lips for a long time, but still didn't have the courage to swallow the medicine.
"...Can I not eat it?"
Ruan Mingfu's pitiful appearance did not move the hard-hearted Xie Yanzhao, "Don't you want to get your throat healed?"
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
Very good, I successfully convinced her.
Her original clear and pleasant voice was gone, replaced by a low, hoarse, broken voice.
I hate that bastard Zhou Peng even more.
With hatred, Ruan Mingfu quickly put the medicine into her mouth, and then gulped down a glass of water. Although the bitterness was diluted a lot, she still frowned because of the bitterness.
yue!
Xie Yanzhao sat on a chair nearby, legs crossed, looking at Ruan Mingfu with an aggressive gaze.
Ruan Mingfu looked straight at him, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
He didn't speak.
It was so long that Xie Yanzhao could no longer speak, but he heard him say, "Just stay in the hospital for the time being. Don't worry about anything. Just let me handle it."
The educated youth center cannot be returned.
Zhou Peng was beaten like that, the Zhou family would definitely not give up. Although there were many people in the educated youth site, it was the Zhou family's territory after all. And those villagers also showed that if the Zhou family really wanted to do something, they would not help Ruan Mingfu.
Xie Yanzhao had already made plans.
Even if the female doctor did not allow Ruan Mingfu to be hospitalized, Xie Yanzhao would still apply for her to be admitted.
Ruan Mingfu looked up.
Xie Yanzhao's figure was reflected in her clear eyes, and she responded softly.
"Thank you so much for today," Ruan Mingfu was not someone who didn't know what was good for her, "If it weren't for..."
If Xie Yanzhao hadn't arrived in time, she would have been dead.
"You rest first," Xie Yanzhao stood up. Ruan Mingfu looked up at him, but accidentally pulled the wound on her neck. "I'll go back to the village and get you some clothes."
Ruan Mingfu was still wearing the clothes she wore to work, and they smelled like rot.
"No, I'll wait for you."
Ruan Mingfu's pretentiousness came back again.
She wants to take a bath!
Xie Yanzhao didn't know what was going on in his mind, but the tips of his ears were slightly red, but because of his dark skin, it was hard to see.
Xie Yanzhao cleared his throat and said, "I'll be right back."
Ruan Mingfu looked over in confusion, only to see that Xie Yanzhao's back actually had a look of fleeing in panic.
Weird.
…
Xie Yanzhao came back soon just as he said.
When he entered the room, he happened to meet the female doctor. She looked at Xie Yanzhao with a hard-to-speak look, and then hesitantly said something to Ruan Mingfu, wanting to say something but not knowing how to say it, and finally left.
Xu Zhu brought over the things he bought and asked, "What happened to her?"
It would be strange if Xie Yanzhao knew this.
He handed the clothes to Ruan Mingfu and said, "I don't know what you want to wear, so I asked an educated youth named Zhu to pack a few sets of clothes for you that you usually wear."
Ruan Mingfu took a look and found that the dress above was the floral dress she wore when she went to the reservoir to meet Xie Yanzhao.
"I understand," she nodded, then looked at Xie Yanzhao confidently, "I want to take a bath."
The hospital provides a place for patients to take a shower, as long as they pay.
Xie Yanzhao took her over and stood guard at the door like a door god.
The bathroom on the single ward floor was cleaner because there were fewer people there. Ruan Mingfu's eyes were filled with satisfaction.
Xu Zhu was bored, so he just walked over and looked at him with a teasing look on his face, "When did you... and Ruan Zhiqing start?"
"yesterday."
When this was mentioned, Xu Zhu got angry, "You and Ruan Zhiqing... then why did you hit me?"
He felt that all the bones in his body were still aching.
I don't know what made this guy crazy, he said he was really ruthless. He was lying on the ground like a dead dog, unable to get up.
But Xie Yanzhao acted as if nothing had happened.
Isn't it infuriating?
