“I told you back then that this girl wouldn’t do.”
"Look at her family structure, her grandmother, and her parents. What kind of good girl could come from a family like that?"
"See? I was right!!"
"Annecel the engagement, annul it immediately. If you can't handle it, I'll do it myself."
Bai Hao pursed his lips and silently carried his father to the health center, inwardly blaming Zhong Linfang for causing this mess.
Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Bai rushed off towards Zhongjiawan without stopping for a moment.
Su Qingci and the others sat at the Xie family's house for a while, but before Xie Dapeng and his family returned, they were greeted by Wang Dachui, who looked anxious.
"Captain, Captain, something terrible has happened!"
"Xie Dapeng's family went to the Bai family and the school to make a scene. The Bai family went to the Zhong family to break off the engagement. Comrade Zhong couldn't stand it, so while Grandma Zhong was arguing with the Bai family, he locked himself in the door and hung himself from the roof beam."
"They've just been brought to the health center..."
As Liu Siqing listened to Wang Dachui's story, he charged out like a raging bull, leaving a trail of afterimages as he pedaled his bicycle.
Su Qingci and Song Jingzhou also had frosty expressions on their faces.
How did things escalate to this point?
They were careless; they were only worried about trouble from Shi Guang and Liu Xiaomei, but they didn't expect Huang Baohua and Xie Dapeng to be such scoundrels.
Inside the rudimentary clinic, Lü Jingzhi seemed to have lost his soul, slumped alone at the door of the treatment room with his shoulders drooping and his head bowed.
In the closed treatment room, an elderly traditional Chinese medicine doctor with gray hair quickly inserted acupuncture needles into the lifeless Zhong Linfang lying on the bed.
Soon, Zhong Linfang's head and neck were covered with a dense array of needles.
Liu Siqing rushed over and, seeing Lü Jingzhi slumped on the ground, asked anxiously.
"Grandma, where's Sister Linfang? How is Sister Linfang?"
As he spoke, Liu Siqing pushed open the tightly closed door of the treatment room.
Lu Jingzhi looked up and said fiercely, "Shut up, don't make a fuss, don't disturb the doctor's efforts to save Linfang."
Liu Siqing suddenly squatted down and put his hands in his hair.
"Sister Linfang will be alright, she'll be alright! She'll definitely be alright!"
"It's my fault. I knew she couldn't handle it. How could such a delicate girl like her bear it? How could she possibly bear it..."
“I kept my mouth shut and didn’t tell anyone, so she shouldn’t have admitted it.”
"Grandma, she doesn't understand the implications of this, but don't you? No matter how the captain and the others look for you, you shouldn't admit it. Waaah, it's my fault!"
Lu Jingzhi slowly turned his head and looked at the young man who was squatting on the ground, breaking down and crying.
"It has nothing to do with you. I haven't even thanked you for saving Linfang back then."
"It's all fate, it's all fate~"
Lu Jingzhi sighed, and a trace of moisture slowly seeped into his long-dried and cloudy eyes.
Neither she nor Linfang had auspicious birth charts. She was an experienced person and understood her granddaughter.
At this time, the Bai family was her granddaughter's only lifeline, and she knew in her heart that Linfang liked Bai Hao.
She had been immersed in the joy of getting married since the end of last year, and in recent days she had been on tenterhooks, afraid that something might go wrong.
Unexpectedly, things still went wrong.
She had previously opened up her own scars and revealed her experiences to her granddaughter, hoping that she...
Unexpectedly, the person who dealt the most fatal blow to Linfang was the most important person in her heart.
With the Bai family's lifeline gone, Linfang could no longer hold on.
"It's the Bai family. The Bai family has come to break off the engagement. Old Mrs. Bai said a lot of nasty things."
"Linfang, she couldn't take it anymore. While I was arguing with Old Lady Bai outside, she had a moment of despair..."
Liu Siqing knelt before Lü Jingzhi and said urgently.
“What’s there to be upset about? It’s okay if the Bai family misunderstood. I can help explain. I was there at the time, and I know what happened.”
“Linfang is innocent. I can help her explain to the Bai family, and I can explain to Teacher Bai Hao on her behalf.”
Why would she be so foolish?
Lu Jingzhi's heart ached. Just now, when the oxcart brought Lin Fang in, they happened to see Teacher Bai Hao helping Old Man Bai out.
The two groups clashed. Bai Hao's worry seemed genuine; he wanted to come and see what was happening, but Old Man Bai's rebuke stopped him.
Even now, Lü Jingzhi has to admit that Bai Hao, who seemed so good before, is not.
They are not a good match.
Su Qingci and Song Jingzhou followed Liu Siqing, arriving in a hurry.
The group remained silent, standing guard outside the treatment room door, not daring to leave.
As time ticked by, Su Qingci grew increasingly agitated.
"Why isn't it out yet? If it's not working, don't waste any more time, just send it to the county!"
Song Jingzhou held Su Qingci's hand. He knew Su Qingci felt guilty and could only gently comfort her.
"Don't worry, Head Nurse Wang just said that the doctor inside is an old Chinese medicine doctor who used to practice at Tongrentang. His acupuncture skills are superb. If he weren't too old and unwilling to leave his hometown, he could have a place in even a city hospital."
"Everything will be alright!"
Just as the two were talking, the wooden door creaked open.
A young man carrying a wooden box poked his head out.
"Family members, who are the family members? My master is calling the family members in to listen to the patient's heart."
Lu Jingzhi and Liu Siqing stood up at the same time.
Liu Siqing lifted his leg and rushed inside. Su Qingci saw that Lü Jingzhi was leaning against the wall, trembling and unable to take a step, so she quickly went forward to help him.
Lu Jingzhi had been squatting by the door for too long, causing poor blood circulation and numbness in his legs. Su Qingci helped him into the treatment room.
On the hospital bed, Zhong Linfang's lifeless face regained a little color, but she remained unconscious.
"Linfang, Linfang?"
"Sister Linfang, Sister Linfang? Wake up! Can you hear me?"
"Doctor, how is she?"
The old Chinese medicine doctor said wearily, "His life has been saved; he should wake up in the latter half of tonight."
"She fell into a coma due to lack of oxygen to the brain. Fortunately, she was brought in in time. If I hadn't happened to be at the hospital, her chances of waking up would probably be..."
"Hey, you're so young, what's bothering you? Try to talk to her after she wakes up."
"Don't go looking for death again. Even if I, Hua Tuo, were alive, I couldn't compete with someone who's eagerly seeking out the King of Hell!"
"Thank you, doctor. Thank you so much! You've worked so hard!"
The group kept thanking them.
Lu Jingzhi lovingly smoothed his granddaughter's hair, a resolute glint flashing in his eyes.
She won't let them get away with this! Even if it costs her own life!
