After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 117, Episode 0121: A Bit Mysterious (Part Two)

Because Luo Hui was marrying into the family, although Shani had a good relationship with many people in the educated youth settlement [Shani was strong and often helped with gathering firewood], most people in the educated youth settlement still chose to send gifts but not attend their wedding.

Therefore, the only educated youth who went to the banquet that night were Li Bin and Yu Mengmeng, who were usually on good terms with Luo Hui.

Oh, and there are two more: Ren Yan and Wang Qin, who also bought firewood from Sha Ni.

"When the banquet was halfway through, Grandma Hua suddenly started making a scene. At first, we didn't know what she was arguing about. One minute she was saying that Luo Hui was marrying into the family and should give her a dowry, and the next minute she was saying that Luo Hui, an educated youth, was deceiving the silly girl."

Ren Yan was just summarizing the situation. The truth is that Old Lady Hua had a foul mouth at the time, and the words she used were all things that would be censored. Especially when she talked about Luo Hui, she said all sorts of hurtful things. Luo Hui was so bad that if Li Bin and the others hadn't stopped him, he would have beaten the old lady on his wedding day.

At the time, Grandma Sun was helping in the kitchen when she heard the noise outside and rushed out. After seeing what was happening, she immediately turned around and scolded Grandma Hua.

Only then did everyone understand from what Granny Sun said that Granny Hua wanted to force Sha Ni and Luo Hui to "return" the old house.

Having her thoughts exposed by Aunt Sun, Old Lady Hua simply stopped pretending and said confidently, "Silly girl isn't a member of the Li family, so why should she occupy the Li family's house? Anyway, she's married now. A woman should follow her husband for food and clothing."

Grandma Sun was so angry at her shameless words that she laughed. "When the old house was divided among my second brother, it was dilapidated and old. It was my second brother who paid for the renovation himself. My husband helped with the work."

"From the moment her parents nodded in agreement, Sha Ni was Second Brother's own daughter. What's wrong with Second Brother leaving his house to his only daughter?"

The Li clan elder, who had been hastily summoned, also came out to stand with Granny Sun. Granny Hua was still quite afraid of the elder, and no matter what she was thinking at the time, she didn't dare to cause any more trouble.

"Perhaps feeling ashamed, or perhaps feeling indignant, when Grandma Hua left, she pushed Wang Qin, who was not far from her. And then, by sheer coincidence, Wang Qin was pushed backward and landed on Yu Mengmeng's stomach behind her."

Ren Yan pulled the chair closer and said mysteriously, "Yu Mengmeng has been feeling unwell in her stomach for several days. That morning, she happened to run into Dr. Gao passing by at the entrance of the educated youth settlement. Yu Mengmeng asked him to take her pulse. Dr. Gao said that she was almost a month pregnant and the situation was not very good. It would be best for her to rest."

Yu Mengmeng went to the wedding banquet that night because of Luo Hui's friendship with them.

"You guys think it's such a coincidence that Wang Qin didn't fall on anyone else, but she fell on Yu Mengmeng, who was newly pregnant, and even sat right on her belly."

She immediately started bleeding. Fortunately, Dr. Gao was also present, and even more fortunately, he always carried acupuncture needles with him. After a few needles, he was able to quickly alleviate Yu Mengmeng's danger.

Leng Xingran was genuinely confused this time. "Does Wang Qin really like Li Bin?"

Lin Yuexi: "..."

Ren Yan was even more direct, rolling her eyes at him. "I think Wang Qin is mentally ill. She's doing this because she's desperately trying to get revenge on Li Bin and Yu Mengmeng."

“I saw it clearly. Based on the direction in which Grandma Hua pushed Wang Qin, even if she was pushed off balance, she should have fallen to the left, not miraculously backward.”

Not only did she see it, but anyone who wasn't blind at the time could see it too.

That's why Old Lady Hua refused to admit that Yu Mengmeng's matter had anything to do with her. She was just a little guilty. Old Lady Hua, who always loved to gossip about others, hadn't been seen in the village for the past few days.

"No, what is there to retaliate against her for? Isn't she the only one who's at fault from beginning to end?"

Leng Xingchen didn't fully understand, but she got the gist of it. She couldn't help but raise her hand and give her silly younger brother a big slap.

"You've seen this kind of person before, what's the big deal?"

Speaking of Wang Qin?
Why does this name sound so familiar?

Huo Han, who had finished eating and was sitting upright like a wooden figure, also felt that the name 'Wang Qin' sounded somewhat familiar.

The two looked at each other, and suddenly, as if on cue, they both remembered: Wasn't Wang Qin Wang Hanzhong's eldest daughter, who had been abused and mistreated by her stepmother for a long time but never dared to fight back?! Wait a minute, isn't there something wrong with this character?
The Wang Qin they knew and the Wang Qin they were hearing now were so different that they sounded like completely different people.

However, compared to Wang Qin, whom they had only heard about from strangers, they naturally trusted their relatives, such as Lin Yuexi and Leng Xingran.

So, could it be that Wang Qin was just pretending when she was in the Wang family all along?

Oh well, it doesn't matter whether it is or isn't, it's none of their business anyway.

Huo Han was just dropping Lin Yuexi and the others off on his way back. After eating the noodles, even though he was reluctant, he had to get up and prepare to leave, as he still had a mission to carry on his shoulders.

He glanced at Leng Xingchen, whose arm was still in a sling, with considerable dissatisfaction. Leng Xingchen was lucky to be able to stay and recover from his injury.

Lin Yuexi was exhausted from the long drive back. She only ate a small half bowl of noodles and started nodding repeatedly. Everyone fell silent upon seeing this, and Ren Yan quickly helped her into the house to rest.

Huo Han, who didn't even have time to say goodbye and could only watch helplessly as the girl he had been longing for walked into the house without looking back, was speechless.

However, he was too good at hiding it, and no one present noticed his disappointment. Leng Xingran even warmly escorted him to the door, waving goodbye until his car was out of sight.

&
Lin Yuexi fell ill again, and her condition was critical.

The mental and physical strain of working in the military corps, coupled with the bumpy ride, caused her, who was still physically weak, to collapse after relaxing.

In the middle of the night, Old Chen, who had been secretly invited, was so angry that his eyes were red and his hands were trembling as he performed acupuncture.

No one in the surrounding circle dared to utter a sound, not even daring to breathe heavily, for fear of startling Old Chen, and also out of self-reproach.

Xu Shan, who was guarding the door, was so ashamed that he clenched his teeth and his eyes were bloodshot.

It's all his fault; he should have stopped Comrade Lin.

"Go, go, go! Don't all stand here in the way. Are you trying to steal the patient's oxygen or something?"

After the last silver needle was inserted into the acupoint, Old Chen got up and immediately waved his hand to shoo people away in a bad mood.

At this point, the doctor was the most powerful, and no one dared to resist him; they all quickly left the room.

Little did they know, as soon as they left the room, Lin Yuexi on the bed inside opened her eyes.

Old Chen went over and sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), his position blocking the door and Lin Yuexi.

A pale hand reached out from beside the blanket, clutching a small piece of paper.

Old Chen hurriedly took the note, opened it, read it, rolled it up again, and put it back in Lin Yuexi's hand. Lin Yuexi gripped the note tightly and pulled her hand back under the covers.

Old Chen tucked the slightly drafty blanket around her, his eyes filled with sorrow, and said in a breathy voice:

"You said you'd take care of me in my old age."

Lin Yuexi immediately smiled, "I'll take it with me wherever I go from now on."

"Ah."
