Chapter 338 Who started the fire that day?

Xu Qinghuan's words are not without bias.

If the inference is true, the fact that Tang Jinmei took medication to induce an abortion and then did not seek medical treatment at the local health center to preserve the pregnancy proves that she had already intended to frame Song Yanqing.

Regardless of the outcome, Tang Jinmei can always find a reason to implicate Song Yanqing.

Even if Song Yanqing wasn't the attending physician, she could still falsely accuse Song Yanqing of instigating her colleague to murder her child.

Moreover, Song Yanqing has very high moral standards. She is very strict with herself and naturally has very high expectations of others. This makes her intolerant of any wrongdoing and easily provoked into a fight with Tang Jinmei.

As a doctor, whether she uses words or actions, she is in the wrong and will be placed in the eye of the storm, subject to moral criticism.

Just like Song Yanqing is facing today.

If Deng Aiguo hadn't been afraid of damaging the hospital's reputation and implicating himself, he probably wouldn't have bothered with Song Yanqing.

The investigation results came out quickly. Just as Xu Qinghuan had predicted, Tang Jinmei had originally planned to go to the pharmacy to get a packet of Compound Asafoetida Dispersible Powder herself, but she was seen by the pharmacist, who forced her to sign a document.

She received six pills in total, and four more were found in her house.

Tang Jinmei could not deny it and could only admit, "I did not expect it to lead to a miscarriage. It was Dr. Xu who said that I would miscarry, but I did fall."

Xu Qinghuan asked, "You came straight to the hospital after you fell yesterday?"

"Yes."

In this kind of weather, people basically wear thick cotton-padded trousers. It's quite remarkable for a person to have one pair of thick cotton-padded trousers, and to have two pairs to change into means you're a very wealthy family.

Both fabric and cotton are very difficult to obtain.

Xu Qinghuan asked again, "Where did you fall? In the snow or in the mud?"

Tang Jinmei realized that the snow in her front and back yards had been cleared and the police had been there, so she couldn't lie and said, "In the mud."

Xu Qinghuan remained silent.

The police were finally able to resume their duties. "Comrade Tang, every word you say will be recorded and used as evidence in court. Let me ask you, were you wearing these pants yesterday?"

Tang Jinmei hesitated, and Song Yanqing said "Yes". Only then did Tang Jinmei realize what Xu Qinghuan's purpose was in asking so many questions. She was so frightened that she gripped the edge of the chair tightly with both hands.

But the police still made her stand up; her buttocks were clean, without any mud stains.

With the case closed, Deng Aiguo saw Xu Qinghuan and Jiang Xingye off. "Dr. Xu, are you really not going to consider working at our hospital again? We really need you."

Xu Qinghuan shook her head, "No, the roads will be closed soon, and I'm too lazy to go back and forth. Next year, there will be even less time. We need to rush to plant at the beginning of the year, and the production team has a lot of things to deal with."

After her eighteenth birthday, she will get married, and then she will have even less time.

Jiang Xingye accompanies him every time they go out; he's very busy these days.

The two of them came to the county town and it was noon. They were going to have lunch at the state-run restaurant and bring some food for Old Man Xia. She hadn't been to the scrap metal recycling station in a long time and missed the feeling of finding bargains.

Song Yanqing caught up with Xu Qinghuan and called out to her. She hesitated for a moment, but finally, seeing that Xu Qinghuan was getting impatient, she said, "Dr. Xu, I've come to apologize to you!"

She bowed at a very sincere 90-degree angle, and Xu Qinghuan gave way, saying, "Dr. Song, you're too kind. After all, we're colleagues, there's no need to be so polite."

“I used to admire your medical skills, but to be honest, I actually looked down on your medical ethics,” Song Yanqing thought to herself, including Mr. Ren Shanglu. “But now, I sincerely apologize to you.” That day, Xu Qinghuan gave her a piece of advice: “Don’t advise others to be kind if you haven’t experienced their suffering,” and also wished her that “you will never make enemies in your life, and you will never have to treat your enemies.”

I never expected this day to come so soon.

Xu Qinghuan didn't care. She smiled and didn't say anything.

Song Yanqing is now apologizing and repenting, but a person's character is formed, and it's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature. Besides, they won't have much contact in the future.

The two went to a state-run restaurant for a meal and unexpectedly ran into Lin Yufei and Yu Xiaomin. Yu Xiaomin seemed quite nervous when she saw them.

Xu Qinghuan sat down, and Lin Yufei pushed his untouched rice and chopsticks to her, saying, "I haven't touched them. You eat first. If you want anything else, I'll go buy it."

Xu Qinghuan declined, saying, "No need, A-Ye is buying, you eat yours."

They also ordered a braised pork and a stir-fried dried mushroom dish, but didn't touch their chopsticks until Jiang Xingye arrived, at which point they all started eating together.

Seeing that Jiang Xingye had ordered two servings of braised pork, Lin Yufei said, "One serving is enough. You can take the other one back if you want. Why buy two? Can we return them?"

Xu Qinghuan said, "No need, it's for someone else."

Jiang Xingye knew that Lin Yufei was now after Yu Xiaomin. This man had been running to the Jiang Brigade every few days lately, so he asked, "What are your plans? When are you going to take care of things?"

Yu Xiaomin is a year older than Xu Qinghuan and has reached the legal marriage age. The two are also interested in getting married, but one is in Shangjiang Brigade and the other is in Liaozhong Brigade. Logically, Yu Xiaomin should marry the other, but given the current situation in Shangjiang Brigade and her career there, she really doesn't want to go to Xinlian Brigade.

"I don't know yet." Lin Yufei glanced at Yu Xiaomin, one giving a wry smile, the other blushing.

Xu Qinghuan said, "Do you want to transfer to Shangjiang Brigade? If you do, we'll think of a way. This year, we've lost a lot of educated youth here, there are hardly any left. Anyway, even if you don't come, there will still be plenty of educated youth assigned next year."

Lin Yufei's eyes lit up, and even Yu Xiaomin was overjoyed. "This... is it okay?"

Jiang Xingye said, "What's wrong with that? I'll talk to them later and get you transferred over. We need people here too. The production team is going to open a sewing machine manufacturing plant in the commune, and I'm just worried about not having any useful people."

Lin Yufei stood up and said, "Brother Ye, I owe you a favor. I'll buy you a pound of steamed buns. I'll repay you for the rest later."

Jiang Xingye stopped him, "If you say that, I don't want to help anymore. I know you've always taken good care of Huanhuan, so let's not talk like that in the future."

"Okay, I'll give you a big gift when you get married in the future."

"What do you mean? You mean I should prepare a big gift for you and Xiaomin? Do you want me to tell you how big the gift is? So I can prepare in advance?"

Yu Xiaomin couldn't help but laugh, her face turning bright red with embarrassment. She poked Xu Qinghuan and said, "You're talking nonsense again."

Seeing that his girlfriend was shy, Lin Yufei changed the subject, "You know what, everyone's saying that the educated youth settlement in Shangjiang Brigade is cursed. In less than half a year, half of the educated youth have been lost. Several brigades' educated youth settlements are talking about it."

Yu Xiaomin exclaimed in surprise, "No way, what does this have to do with our educated youth settlement? They brought this upon themselves."

Xu Qinghuan couldn't help but laugh, "So, do you dare to come or not?"

Yu Xiaomin also looked nervously at her partner.

Lin Yufei looked around and lowered his voice to ask, "Dare? Why wouldn't I dare? But speaking of which, who started the fire that day? And who died?"

Happy reading, my dears!
