Chapter 176 Yi
"Thank you, thank you Dr. Su... I... if I really am pregnant..."
I'll secretly set up a longevity tablet for her at home!
Zhu Yuhua knew she couldn't say these words now, so she kept them to herself and made a decision in her heart.
"How much does this medicine cost?"
"Well, this..."
After some hesitation and contemplation, Su Ning could estimate the market price of all the medicinal ingredients used in the medicine, but what about the most precious jade and emerald...?
Seeing her furrow her beautiful brows in apparent distress, Zhu Yuhua carefully pulled an old, frayed handkerchief from her waistband.
The small bills wrapped inside were all saved up little by little by the couple through frugality. She didn't know if it was enough and felt a little heartache.
But thinking of the chubby baby, and knowing that money could be earned back, he quickened his pace in taking out the money and tickets.
“If Dr. Xiao Su doesn’t have enough, I and that man’s punctuation will make up for it.”
The largest denomination of the bills, whether they are 10 or 50 cents, is still one dollar. Roughly calculated, a stack of these bills rolled up would only amount to twenty or thirty dollars.
Taking the money from Su Ning, she pretended to count the bills in her hand and said with a smile, "Sister Zhu, this is just right. When you get back, remember what I told you, don't apply too much, just a thin layer will do."
"Okay, Dr. Su, I've remembered the amount: a fingernail-sized amount to apply around my belly button!"
He nodded and escorted her to the courtyard gate. Looking at the person who walked with a confident stride, dispelling her gloom, he couldn't help but feel that his decision was correct.
"nailed it?"
"Ah."
She's been so secretive every time, what illness does she have?
Luo Shuangshuang tucked her braid down her back to her chest, twirling the end of her hair with one finger. She only thought about it for a moment before stopping.
He moved two chairs out and sat with her in the sunlight, basking in the sun as they talked about the group of educated youth they had just met.
"Those guys came in and started making a racket. The injured woman hadn't even said a word before the men started arguing."
Especially that leader, what's his name, Zhang Yi? He had shifty eyes, and the moment he came in, he was looking around, not looking for anything. He was definitely not a good person!
"Knowing they're not good people, I'll stay away from them from now on."
Thinking of that person's eyes, Su Ning nodded in complete agreement, but then reminded her, "Especially Zhang Yi."
"I can't be bothered with him! If he dares to come near me again, I'll really beat him up."
……
They chatted for a while, then each read a book for a bit. Having each other company made them feel less bored.
The afternoon passed just like that. After packing up our things and locking the doors and windows, we headed back together.
As they passed through the center of the village, not far from the educated youth settlement, Luo Shuangshuang stopped, grabbed her hand, lifted her chin, and pointed forward.
Following her direction, Su Ning looked over and narrowed her eyes slightly upon seeing the two people struggling against each other.
If she remembered correctly, the woman in the military green jacket was Dong Ruolan, the village accountant's daughter, and the man was Zhang Yi, an educated youth.
These two people?
"Ning Baogai, look! They've gone into the grove!"
This scene, which she had only read about in storybooks, had actually happened in real life. Luo Shuangshuang's eyes widened in surprise, filled with both inexplicable excitement and utter bewilderment.
"Ning Baogai, should we go and check it out?"
She really wanted to know what the two of them were doing in the grove, and whether they were up to something bad.
The small flame, named Bagua, instantly made his eyes shine.
"You still want to go and see? Do you believe Fu Jiaming will give you a good talking to if he finds out?"
"He wouldn't dare! I'd be the one to teach him a lesson, hehe, let's go, let's go, Ning Baogai just took one quick look and then we're leaving!"
"Slow down, don't push!"
Dragged and tugged by her to the grove, Su Ning had no choice but to sneak in with the gossipy girl, crouching low.
When they found the two again, they were already deep in the grove.
Judging by his appearance alone, Zhang Yi was indeed born with rosy lips and white teeth, but he had a somewhat effeminate appearance.
Wearing white shirts and military trousers, they exude the scholarly and artistic air unique to educated youth, but from their angles, their arms, waists, and shoulders appear unusually thin and frail.
At this moment, Dong Ruolan, with a rosy complexion and hazy eyes, was gazing at him with a dreamy expression.
Fearing they might be discovered, the two stood some distance apart, making it difficult to hear what they were saying. Zhang Yi lowered his head and spoke tenderly, causing Dong Ruolan, who was leaning against him, to blush even more. She lowered her head shyly and took out two hard-boiled eggs from her bosom, presenting them to him with great care.
With a smile, Zhang Yi accepted the gift, but as he looked at the woman who had lowered her head again, a deep sense of disgust and aversion appeared in his eyes.
Her haughty attitude, treating people like she was doing them a favor, was nauseating.
'Damn, that bastard is disgusting!'
Turning around, she silently opened her mouth and complained to her friend, then raised her fist, truly wanting to punch her.
That girl's eyes are clearly bright and sparkling, so how could she have selective blindness?
He grabbed her hand and led her out of the grove, fearing that she might accidentally shout and attract attention, which would truly ruin Dong Ruolan.
The village still values a girl's reputation highly. In broad daylight, a girl going into the woods with a grown man, regardless of whether she did anything outrageous, is considered a slut by them.
Not to mention herself, her whole family would be ashamed to face the surrounding villages.
"What should we do about Ning Baogai? That octopus is obviously not suspicious; it doesn't really care about her at all. Should we intervene?"
She was only sixteen or seventeen, not much younger than them, and they just watched her get ruined by such a scumbag?
"Let me think about it."
Su Ning patted her hand reassuringly and led her back the way they came, pondering the matter of Accountant Dong's family.
She has always been popular with the elderly and children, and this place is no exception. Especially after becoming the village's barefoot doctor, the elderly smile at her with even more kindness, and the children like to follow her around even more.
Don't underestimate the elderly and children just because they may not be able to work; they may know a lot.
Elderly people know a lot about everything because they are old and experienced; nothing can be hidden from their eyes and ears.
Children are naturally young, and adults rarely deliberately avoid discussing such matters.
Therefore, Suning has heard a lot of things, whether actively or passively, and it involves far more than just one team.
Among them was the Dong family, known for spoiling their daughter. Unlike other families who hoped for sons, the entire Dong family longed for a daughter.
It is said that the Dong family has become predominantly male and weak in females. For generations, all the men have been male, and there has not been a single delicate and lovely girl. Things are valued because they are rare.
Other girls, around five or six years old, were either helping to take care of their younger siblings or doing chores inside and outside the house. It's not that they were mistreated, but every girl grew up like this.
Dong Ruolan from the Dong family was raised to be plump and healthy, and was not allowed to do any work. Like the boys, she only needed to carry her schoolbag to school.
Unfortunately, she was not academically gifted and could not continue studying after finishing elementary school. When she returned home, she was advised to sit and wait until she got older to marry into a good family.
"Ning Baogai, what are you thinking about so intently? Do you know that woman?"
"I've heard of you but never spoken to you; this is only the second time I've seen you."
"She looks fair and plump, with the kind of face and figure that mothers-in-law currently prefer. She shouldn't have a shortage of matchmakers. How could her family agree to her marrying a sent-down youth? Unless..."
"Her family doesn't know yet."
"I think she was definitely fooled by that octopus's sweet talk!"
Su Ning paused, both amused and exasperated, and squeezed her hand, saying, "Don't give nicknames to people you don't know well."
"Oh, I see. Yes, Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi!"
"Just pretend you didn't see what happened. I will..."
"Comrade Su!"
"what are you doing?!"
Zhang Yi, who had just emerged from the other end of the grove, was immediately delighted to see two stunningly beautiful women, each with their own unique charm, holding hands and talking. He quickly went to greet them.
Luo Shuangshuang was startled by the person who suddenly jumped out. When she came to her senses, she realized that he was like a cat seeing a fish or a fly seeing shit... Uh, ptooey!
They approached with ill intentions, so I immediately pulled my friend behind me, clenched my fist, and shouted, "Stay away from us!"
"Comrade, I just wanted to..."
"Don't even think about it!"
"I…"
"Shut up! Your mouth stinks!"
Even the most good-tempered person would turn pale after those two sentences. Zhang Yi was both angry and confused. Why were the two of them so hostile towards him when they had only just met?
