Chapter 10 Ointment



"Bullshit!" The Liu family members looked as if their secrets had been exposed.

"Don't think you can say whatever you want just because you're Captain Lin's daughter!" Liu's daughter-in-law rushed over, almost poking Lin Miaoyin's face with her fingers.

Lin Miaoyin stepped back in disgust and sneered, "I didn't make up what I said. Everyone has seen everything you did."

The people around also frowned and thought, and actually felt that Lin Miaoyin's guess was quite correct.

Old man Liu has three sons, and they had separated a long time ago. After Old man Liu became paralyzed last year, it should have been their turn to take care of him. However, he himself could not even get enough to eat these days, so where would the food be to feed a disabled person? So the three sons all made excuses, and finally the secretary came out to mediate and the son was able to reluctantly settle down.

But conflicts continued, and they fought and quarreled every few days. People who saw Old Man Liu said he was pitiful, as he looked skinny and in a daze.

If this old man Liu died in someone's house in the end, it would be troublesome and very unlucky, so if he was carried out and died outside, according to the style of the Liu family, they could really do it.

Besides, they said they were going to send Old Man Liu to the clinic. This was really ridiculous. His family was so poor that they normally wouldn't even send their kids to the clinic when they had a cold or fever. How could they be willing to send Old Man Liu there?

Secretary Li, who happened to hear the news, also arrived at this time.

Secretary Li is about the same age as Lin's father. He came with his son, holding an umbrella.

Now the rain has become much lighter, only a drizzle remains.

"Liu family, what are you doing? Just leaving your father out in the rain?"

Secretary Li is a college graduate with very orthodox ideas. He cannot stand such unfilial behavior.

Lin's father is in charge of production, while Secretary Li is in charge of politics. In addition, Secretary Li is much more serious than Lin's father, and he was sent by the government, not elected by the people, so people in the team are more afraid of him.

As soon as Secretary Li arrived, the Liu family's momentum instantly weakened a lot. Father Lin went over and told him the whole story in a concise and clear manner.

Secretary Li pondered and asked Zhu Wanqin, "Qin girl, are you sure that Father Liu died shortly after you left?"

Zhu Wanqin replied, "That's the way it should be."

Secretary Li was silent and thought about it, then went to ask Liu's family questions.

Seeing that everyone's attention was on Secretary Li and the Liu family, Lin Miaoyin turned to look at Meng Yuanzheng, only to find that someone had already gone to comfort him before her.

Zhu Wanqin, aren’t you the heroine? Wake up! Your true love is still digging coal in that small coal mine in the back mountain! You got the wrong person!

"Meng Zhiqing, I heard that you were injured, so I brought you some medicine." Zhu Wanqin took out a tube of ointment from his coat pocket, stood beside Meng Yuanzheng, held an umbrella to cover his head, and handed the ointment to him with a delicate hand.

Meng Yuanzheng was lazy and spoiled since childhood. After being beaten and left in the rain for so long, he bent down and supported his knees with his hands as soon as the two men let go of his hands.

He waved his hand and refused.

Zhu Wanqin was a little stunned, pursed her lips, and said, "I see you're seriously injured, but the clinic is closed now, so you should apply some medicine."

"No need, thank you." Meng Yuanzheng stood up and saw a woman striding over and taking the ointment from Zhu Wanqin's hand.

Lin Miaoyin smiled and said, "I heard that Zhu Zhiqing came from the city. This medicine must be expensive. It's impossible for you to give it to us without paying. So, we will buy it from you. I will give you the money to stay tomorrow."

Zhu Wanqin quickly said, "No, no, it's just a tube of medicine. I have a lot more. Today, thanks to Meng Zhiqing for helping me carry the luggage." As she spoke, she looked at Meng Yuanzheng with a grateful look.

However, Meng Yuanzheng was looking down at the wound on his arm and didn't notice it at all.

Lin Miaoyin was a little confused. What was wrong with this heroine? Didn't the original novel say that Zhu Wanqin avoided Meng Yuanzheng like the plague and had no good face when she saw him? And Meng Yuanzheng believed that what he couldn't get was the best, and he was keen on trying to please others.

How come Zhu Wanqin is now very affectionate with Meng Yuanzheng, while Meng Yuanzheng looks like, "I don't know you, I don't want to talk to you."

Did she remember the heroine's name wrong? Is Zhu Wanqin actually the female educated youth who fell in love with Meng Yuanzheng and therefore went against the heroine?

Secretary Li has also figured out what happened.

Although he was a serious and old-fashioned person, he was smart and had an overwhelming aura. In addition, the analysis of Lin Miaoyin and Zhu Wanqin had already broken through the Liu family's psychological defenses, so he got the truth out of them in just a few words.

It turned out that Old Man Liu was almost dying in the morning. He was groaning on the kang, and kept complaining about chest pain, and that he was breathing out more than he was breathing in.

The three sons of the Liu family got together to discuss the funeral arrangements, but no one was willing to accept Old Man Liu's death in their own home, nor were they willing to spend money on a funeral. If they didn't hold a funeral, they would be criticized by people in the team.

After arguing for a long time without any result, Old Man Liu suddenly had an attack and looked like he was about to die. They didn't care about anything else. They couldn't let him die in their own home. Then the house where he had slept would become uninhabitable. So they planned to carry him to the back mountain and let him die outside.

They had only taken a few steps when they saw two educated youth coming towards them from afar. An idea immediately came to their mind: if they could pin the blame for Old Man Liu's death on someone else, they could at least extort the money for his funeral.

So they slowed down and anxiously asked for help, "Dad, how are you? I hope you're okay."

As for these educated youth, who came from the city, I heard that they were all honest and liked to stand out, especially the foolish ones like Meng Yuanzheng, who especially liked to show off in front of female comrades.

As expected, Meng Yuanzheng took the initiative to go forward to check on Old Man Liu, put him on the ground and pressed on his chest.

Old man Liu felt a little better at that time, and his breathing became calmer. The Liu family members were unhappy when they saw this. Why did the man seem to be unable to die after pressing his chest? They immediately stopped Meng Yuanzheng, pretended to be in a hurry to go to the clinic, and carried the man away.

Meng Yuanzheng followed them out of kindness. They originally wanted to find a way to kill Old Man Liu and put the blame on Meng Yuanzheng, but Meng Yuanzheng kept following them. Fortunately, Old Man Liu couldn't hold on and died, which was exactly what they wanted.

As expected, when they arrived outside the clinic, where there were many people, they attracted a lot of attention. They beat Meng Yuanzheng as if he were the murderer and sent him to the Lin family to seek justice.

Who would have known that these two women, Lin Miaoyin and Zhu Wanqin, actually knew so much and could see through their thoughts.

The rest of the matters were left to Secretary Li and Lin's father to resolve, and the others went back home.

"Thank you, Zhu Zhiqing." Although Lin Miaoyin was reluctant, she still had to save face and supported Meng Yuanzheng reluctantly.

Zhu Wanqin said gently, "It's just a small favor, because Meng Zhiqing is willing to help others, good people will be rewarded, and the public has sharp eyes, all bad thoughts will be exposed. I admire Brother Meng's character, and I can't bear to see him being wronged, so I followed my heart and testified."

good! Well said, he is indeed a genuine educated youth!

Lin Miaoyin maintained a smile on her face and nudged Meng Yuanzheng with her elbow, "Why don't you say thank you to me?"

Meng Yuanzheng raised his eyelids and said dryly, "I just said that."

Lin Miaoyin...

Zhu Wanqin's expression froze slightly, and he smiled, "It's getting late, go back and rest early. Remember to apply medicine and drink ginger soup to avoid getting sick. If you don't have enough ointment, you can ask me for more."

After Zhu Wanqin left with an umbrella, Lin Miaoyin always felt something was strange, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

The author has something to say: Lin Miaoyin: Speak! What did you two do behind my back?

Meng Yuanzheng: I also want to know

Zhu Wanqin: Because Brother Meng is handsome and helpful, I really admire him~
