80s: The cold-faced tough guy was controlled by the beautiful woman

Chapter 14: Hard Talk
When Li Yingtang got off the minibus at the village, it was still dark, but the moon had already risen.

There seemed to be endless darkness hidden ahead of the sight, dense bushes, eerie and frightening.

She should arrange a time with Qin Xian to pick her up.

But it doesn’t matter, we’re just walking at night.

Not afraid.

Dad!

It's terrible.

The wind howled in my ears like ghosts and wolves howling.

After walking for a while, Li Yingtang found a figure in front of her. Her hands and feet were numb in the snow. If she met a bad guy, wouldn't it be dangerous if she couldn't beat him? Considering this, she nervously hid behind a tree and observed carefully.

When the other person got closer, his vigilant eyes instantly turned into surprise, and then into grievance.

"Ah Xian! Woohoo. I finally see you."

Qin Xian stopped the car. The moonlight was dim. The woman ran out from behind a tree and hugged him and cried.

Qin Xian hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and gently patted her back to comfort her. After she calmed down, he asked, "Why don't you find a place to live?"

"There are no decent small hotels in the countryside. Even if there is, I wouldn't dare to stay there since I'm unfamiliar with the place. Where are you going? To treat patients?" Li Yingtang asked curiously with wet eyes.

Qin Xian's eyes flickered: "Well, don't worry, I'll take you back first."

"Okay, I'm freezing." Li Yingtang sniffed, sat in the back and hugged him, and said as if he remembered something, "That's not right. When ordinary people go to see a doctor, how can a doctor come to their home in person? Unless someone comes to invite you, you came here specially to pick me up, right? How did you know I was coming back today?"

Qin Xian gripped the handlebars tightly: "I'll pick you up on the way."

Li Yingtang thought, you are just being stubborn! If you didn't take the photo on purpose, how could it be such a coincidence? Should I expose it? I won't expose it to save his face. She changed the subject: "Didn't you say before that you need my home address for the letter of introduction? Listen carefully, my home is No. 66 Xian'an Road. Ah!"

The car suddenly twisted a few times as if it was out of control.

Li Yingtang was so scared that she screamed.

The village road is narrow, with dry ditches on both sides. If you fall down, you will definitely get bruised and battered.

Qin Xian steadied the car: "It's pressed against a tree branch."

Li Yingtang was scared: "I was scared to death. Did you remember my home address?"

Qin Xian hummed vaguely.

Her eyes were filled with doubts. Since she had entered the city, why didn't she go get a letter of introduction herself? And the address she mentioned was actually his home.

What does she want to do?
Hinting that he should marry her?
It is indeed time to give the girl a status.

Li Yingtang smiled proudly, but the next second, she couldn't smile anymore because he said, "It's not a long-term solution for a girl like you to live with me without any status. I will visit your parents during the Chinese New Year holiday to discuss the wedding date."

Li Yingtang was panicked. A visit? Wouldn't she be exposed? "This time when I went home, my parents told me that they were going to work in another place and would not be back for the New Year. You can discuss it with me. I can make my own decision."

"I can't listen to you. It's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Even if it's a free marriage, the necessary etiquette cannot be reduced. You are young and don't understand, but I can't pretend not to know." Qin Xian insisted.

Li Yingtang was filled with worry. What should he do?
There were two patients standing at the door of the health station.

Seeing Qin Xian coming back, they immediately came forward, one said he had a fever, and the other said he had a backache.

Qin Xian was busy seeing patients.

Li Yingtang went into the kitchen to fill the thermos with hot water, and brought it into the room to wash. While soaking her feet, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Qin Xian walked into the room, holding an enamel cup in his hand: "Drink some glucose to replenish your body."

Li Yingtang took the cup and drank it in one breath.

When he put it down, he caught a glimpse of him taking his coat.

"Wait." Li Yingtang said, "I bought you a watch and put it in the pocket on the chest. See if you like it."

Qin Xian reached out and touched a beautifully packaged small box, a jade bracelet, and a jade pendant. Inside the box was an exquisite watch that was obviously worth a lot of money. "It's so valuable, I can't accept it."

"Take it. Consider it my betrothal gift. Our token of love." Li Yingtang covered her mouth carefully and almost said it as a betrothal gift.

He is a top student and has a stable job.

You must be unhappy after hearing what she said, right?
Qin Xian: "."Shouldn't he be the one to give the token of love? "Are the jade bracelet and jade pendant heirlooms from your family? You can just put them in your pocket without worrying about them falling."

"I bought it. It's not expensive. I'll give you the jade pendant as well. I'll wear the bracelet for fun." Li Yingtang dried her feet and put on slippers. She took the watch from his hand and put it on him. She admired and praised him, "You have beautiful hands. This watch doesn't look good on you. When I get rich, I'll buy you a better one."

Qin Xian felt uncomfortable. Should he buy it for him?

Is he some kind of young wife?
"It's not easy for elders to earn money, you can't spend it like this."

"I earned it myself. The money came cleanly. I didn't sell my body, and I didn't break any law. You can keep it with peace of mind. As for how I earned it, I'll tell you slowly later."

Qin Xian was puzzled. Can’t he say it now?

The next morning.

Li Yingtang slept until she woke up naturally, got up and had breakfast, took out the wool she had bought two days ago, and sat under the eaves to knit in the sun.

"The sweaters knitted by Doctor Qin's family."

The sunlight was dazzling, and Li Yingtang squinted at the other person.

She recognized the person who came. She was Wu Hong, the wife of Cheng Da from the village. Cheng Da and Cheng San, who saved Cheng Fang, were cousins.

That day Cheng Fang fell into the water. Fortunately, Wu Hong went home to get a quilt, otherwise Cheng Fang would have frozen to death or suffered frostbite.

She smiled and responded, "I'm knitting a scarf. What is Mrs. Chen doing?"

"Look at the third master's son, the fifth son. Wasn't his wife's head chopped off? Give him some eggs to make up for it." Wu Hong lifted the cloth on the basket and showed Li Yingtang the eggs inside. "They are all good things. We can't bear to eat them at home. The fifth son's wife is too fierce. She has been married for three months and has beaten her husband more than his mother has beaten him in twenty years."

Li Yingtang thought of the woman who scolded her daughter-in-law that night. She wanted to say something bad about the old woman, but it was difficult to say it, after all, it was someone else's family affair. So she teased, "Is that so? This bride is more powerful than me."

Wu Hong chuckled: "Of course."

Li Yingtang changed the subject: "How is the girl who fell into the river these days?"

"That damn girl Cheng Fang, she was in pain here and there all day long. I don't know if she got sick from the cold she caught in the water that day. The next day she couldn't walk. I asked Doctor Qin to see her, but he said she couldn't be cured.

At first, she refused to get engaged even though the matter with the third brother was a big deal. Now she agrees, but what's the point? No matter how much the third brother loves her, he can't marry a cripple as a burden. Now, her mother wants to marry her to Feng Guanggun, who is from the next village and his wife has died. "Wu Hong sighed, and said as if she remembered something, "Oh, I can't delay here, I have to send the things over quickly, there are a lot of things waiting to be done at home."

"Have a good walk." Li Yingtang stood up and walked a few steps with him before turning back to the infirmary.

Because there was a patient in the room, she could only whisper when she gossiped: "Is Cheng Fang really unable to walk? What's the reason? Tell me, I want to hear it." She asked, holding on to his arm.

Qin Xian glanced at her hand that was resting on his sleeve. It was so soft and pale that he couldn't take his eyes off it. "When she fell into the water, her waist might have been injured by the ice."
