Chapter 131 The storm is coming
It is an indisputable fact that the blind man Wang attacked the military family members in full view of everyone, and he was even holding a weapon. This is premeditated murder!
The key point is that Ye Nuan is the wife of a deputy regimental commander, and her current job is to save lives. If you, Blind Wang, make such a fuss, aren't you just asking for trouble?
Ye Nuan wasn't really concerned about what would happen next; all she needed to know was that Blind Wang had been arrested and that he wouldn't be able to cause her any more trouble.
However, the story at the entrance of the compound still spread far and wide.
Ye Nuan had no idea that behind her back, someone was criticizing her for meddling in other people's business.
If she hadn't taken it upon herself to help the hospital collect medicinal herbs, none of this would have happened. In the end, it was all her own doing.
Of course, most family members do not agree with this statement.
When Xiang Lan heard Zhai Hua openly discussing this with others at the supply station, she couldn't contain her anger.
"Zhai Hua, I know you're a heartless bastard, but I never imagined you could be this treacherous! Ye Nuan saved your youngest son, and instead of being grateful, you're talking badly about her behind her back. How thick-skinned do people have to be to survive like this!"
Zhai Hua was chatting excitedly with several women, saying that Ye Nuan was just meddling in other people's business.
Unexpectedly, someone was listening in behind my back.
Zhai Hua looked flustered. She was talking badly about someone when her friend saw her. How could she not feel flustered?
Moreover, this was the entrance to the supply station, a place with many people coming and going, so Xiang Lan's accusations against Zhai Hua for being heartless and treacherous were naturally overheard by many.
Everyone knew that Zhai Hua's youngest son had fallen and injured his head, but not everyone knew that Ye Nuan was the first to stop the bleeding.
Now that Xiang Lan had exposed her like this in public, Zhai Hua felt utterly humiliated.
"Xiang Lan, what do you mean by this? I didn't do anything to you, did I?"
"Ha, you didn't provoke me? I'm a straightforward person, I can't stand a shrew like you! Doctor Ye is clearly helping the whole village earn more money so that the villagers can have a full meal, but in your mouth it's meddling. So what? Our soldiers in the army not only fight but also help the people, is that meddling in your eyes too?"
Zhai Hua's eyes darted around, her heart pounding: "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't think that, and I didn't say that!"
"But that's exactly what you meant! You see Ye Nuan helping the villagers and doing good deeds as meddling. Then why didn't Ye Nuan go to save your son first? After all, he's not her son, so why bother?"
Zhai Hua felt a burning sensation on her face, even more painful than if she had been slapped.
"How can that be the same? Ye Nuan is a doctor; saving lives is her job, so she has to save lives!"
"Oh, you've said it all. Dr. Ye is a doctor, that's true, but your son fell and got injured at home, not at the hospital, and certainly not at Ye Nuan's house. Why should he have to save him? Everyone should be careful from now on. If anyone has a headache, fever, or any kind of emergency, don't bother Dr. Ye. Zhai Hua already said that's meddling!"
Our compound has a clinic; no matter how far or near, you should always look for a proper staff member. I'll have to talk to Xiao Ye about this later; don't just save anyone. What's the point? Saving someone doesn't bring any praise, and you might even get blamed for meddling. That's so frustrating!
Xiang Lan deliberately ignored Zhai Hua's matter and said whatever came to mind, just to let everyone know that Zhai Hua was a bad person.
Ye Nuan saved her son, and she can still ruin her reputation like this. If it were someone else, who knows what people would say about them.
Several comrades at the supply station also huddled together and whispered among themselves.
“I think Sister Xiang is right. How can Sister Zhai be so unreasonable? Doctor Ye saved her son, how can she say such nasty things about him behind his back?”
"That's right. I think we should avoid contact with people like Sister-in-law Zhai in the future. If we offend her one day, who knows what kind of scolding she'll give us."
"Makes sense!"
"To gossip about someone who saved your life behind their back, ha, that kind of person is clearly an ingrate!"
"Yes, yes! That's it!"
Seeing that she couldn't win the argument with Xiang Lan, and noticing everyone pointing and whispering about her, Zhai Hua simply slunk away.
Xiang Lan just couldn't stand Zhai Hua's heartlessness.
It's one thing for others to speak ill of Ye Nuan, but why do you have the right to say the same thing?
Unbeknownst to Ye Nuan, a great storm was about to engulf her.
A military compound in Beijing.
Gu Shuang returned to her parents' home dressed in a fashionable way. As soon as she entered, she saw her mother watering the flowers in the living room.
"Mom, where is my dad?"
"He went to play chess with his old friends."
"Mom, I came back this time because I have something to tell you."
The elegantly dressed old lady glanced at her dismissively: "What could you possibly want? Are you out of money again, or don't have enough tickets?"
Gu Shuang smiled ingratiatingly and took her arm, saying, "Neither. Mom, I heard that the Zhang family might be getting better."
"Who?"
"It's Zhang Shiqing! He was once engaged to my sister-in-law. But Zhang Shiqing married someone else, and that woman was unlucky; she left behind two children and passed away."
The old lady finally understood: "What does this have to do with you?"
"Mom, I heard he did a great job this time. He was supposed to be paralyzed in bed for life, but I heard that Grandpa Zhang found a mysterious traditional Chinese medicine doctor from the south, and he is now showing signs of getting better."
"Hmm, and then?" The old lady had actually heard about this before, but she hadn't taken it seriously, since it had nothing to do with their family.
"Mom, my husband's younger sister is divorced too. What do you think, how about we try to set them up?"
The old lady frowned and said indifferently, "It's nothing! This is a matter between the Ding family and the Zhang family. I won't interfere, nor do I want to get involved."
"Look at what you're saying! The Ding family is your son-in-law's family. Besides, now that the Ding family is doing well, when the old man divides the inheritance, won't he favor my brother a bit?"
The younger brother Gu Shuang mentioned is Gu Guoliang, who is also Gu Hanchuan's uncle.
Upon hearing this, the old lady froze slightly, but did not immediately agree.
Moreover, matchmaking doesn't always guarantee success.
“If Zhang Shiqing could have taken a liking to your sister-in-law, he wouldn’t have married someone else in the first place. In my opinion, this has no chance.”
"Mom!" Gu Shuang stamped her foot. "The past is the past, the present is the present. Zhang Shiqing didn't have two children to worry about back then! Now he does, doesn't he? Besides, even if he can be cured, he'll still have some aftereffects. How can we be so picky now?"
