Chapter 256: I was so scared that my shoes fell off
Chapter 256 I was so scared that my shoes fell off
When Zhang Guilan was a child, there was a landlord in the village. She remembers that every time he brought people to collect rent, the whole family would tremble with fear, lowering their heads and not daring to speak.
One time when he couldn't pay the rent, the old man who was over seventy years old almost snatched her eldest sister, who was just a teenager at the time, to be his mistress. It was only through the hard work of her brothers that he finally got her eldest sister back.
Having had such an experience, Zhang Guilan learned that Nie Xiaoqing was the daughter of a landlord. After being surprised, she could not restrain the expression of disgust on her face.
But after listening to what her mother-in-law said, she felt it made sense.
Who can guarantee that all eighteen generations of his ancestors are innocent?
Besides, this girl's father is dead and she has done nothing wrong. Besides, since her mother is a concubine, it means she is also a poor person.
After thinking about this, the disgust on Zhang Guilan's face turned into sympathy. She felt that Xiaoqing must have suffered a lot living with such an aunt and brother.
As for her husband Su Daqiang, he fully understood why his mother said this.
He had heard his father say before that the Su family was once very rich, but later became so poor that they lost even an acre of land and had to work on the land rented from landlords.
So if we really count the generations up, the Su family is actually a landlord family.
But this is too unfair.
Their generation has not enjoyed any blessings at all, and they have been poor since they were born.
So, the things of the previous generation should not be carried over to the next generation. It is too unfair.
Needless to say, the doctors present were well-educated and knowledgeable, and even Su Daqiang could understand the simple truth. They figured it out as soon as they thought about it.
Although the nurses were not very well educated, they all lowered their heads and said nothing.
Nie Xiaoqing has a good personality. He usually has a good relationship with everyone and has never offended anyone.
When everyone said those things before, they either hated her or were angry that she was cheating, but when I thought about it, I couldn't have told the truth.
When Guo Baozhu saw that the nurses did not refute, she seemed to be convinced by Li Xiu'e. She gritted her teeth and said angrily: "Even if you don't mind, she is still a girl from my Nie family, and I, the aunt, have the final say on her marriage!"
"That's right," Guo Baozhu's two sons nodded and said, "She must go back with us today and get married to the village chief's son when she gets home in the evening."
"It's impossible for Xiaoqing to go back with you!"
Su Xiaomeng held Nie Xiaoqing's hand tightly and said in a deep voice to her two brothers: "This is a new society. You have no right to decide who a person should marry."
Many patients gathered around to watch the fun.
Among the crowd, a nurse who had the best relationship with Nie Xiaoqing finally said after some inner struggle: "Yes! This is a new society, and Xiaoqing has the right to choose her marriage partner."
After she finished speaking, many people present couldn't help but help Nie Xiaoqing.
They hated arranged marriages.
"This is no longer the era of arranged marriages. We want freedom of marriage! We want women's liberation!"
"That's right! Freedom of marriage!"
"If Nie Xiaoqing doesn't like the village chief's son, then no one can force her to marry, including her biological parents."
One of the nurses said angrily: "Now that her biological parents are dead, if you force her to marry, you are selling women."
Guo Baozhu didn't expect that everyone was targeting her, and her face turned red, "You..."
"What are you doing? Get out quickly, or we will call the police."
"Get out!" Someone had already picked up a broom and started chasing people away.
The broom hit Guo Baozhu and her two sons. They screamed several times and were driven out of the health center like rats crossing the street.
"Just wait, don't try to escape..."
Nie Xiaoqing's eldest brother shouted: "We are waiting for you at the door to see where you can escape."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, with a "moo" sound, a big bison bumped into them, scaring them so much that they fled in panic.
"What the hell is this? Mother!"
"Mom, don't run so fast. Wait for us. Oops, my shoe fell off..."
He didn't even dare to turn around to pick up his shoes, so he could only continue running barefoot for fear of being hit by the cow's horns.
Xiao Jinbao smiled and said: "Xiao Hei will drive them away, sister, don't be afraid."
Nie Xiaoqing looked at the little girl sitting on the chair and thought she was very cute. Her big eyes were like crystal grapes.
"She is my little niece Jinbao," Su Xiaomeng introduced, and then explained, "Xiaohei is my family's cow, but it is different from ordinary cows."
"I know. I heard someone say that every time your brother comes to see you, he drives that cow. I couldn't help but walk out of the health center and saw it once."
"Ahem!" The director coughed at this time.
He pursed his lips hesitantly and said to Nie Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, come to my office. I have to talk to you about some things..."
"I understand that I lied. Director, I will not make things difficult for you. I will go back to the dormitory to pack my things and leave the clinic later."
"I'm really sorry. This is a rule. Your status is too sensitive."
Nie Xiaoqing said hurriedly: "You don't need to apologize. This was originally my fault. I deceived everyone. I'm sorry, and... thank you just now for being willing to speak for me. Thank you very much."
After speaking, she bowed to everyone.
"Xiaoqing..." Several nurses' eyes were red, obviously reluctant to let her go.
A patient who was cared for by Nie Xiaoqing asked: "Nurse Nie, where are you going after leaving the health center? Do you have somewhere to go?"
Nie Xiaoqing was about to shake her head when a voice said with a smile: "Of course Xiaoqing has a place to go, my home will be her home from now on!"
Li Xiu'e took Nie Xiaoqing's hand and said, "I have chosen you as my daughter-in-law anyway. If you don't dislike my mother-in-law or my son, come and stay at my house today."
"This...I..." Nie Xiaoqing was totally willing, but she just felt embarrassed.
She and Xiaomeng had only known each other for a week. Before, their relationship could only be regarded as that of a nurse and a patient, and even the identity of their lovers had not yet been determined.
Suddenly so many things happened in one day, and she was flustered, happy, and a little worried all at once.
What is Xiaomeng thinking?
Does he feel it's too hasty? It's like he's being rushed to the shelves.
As if she had read her thoughts, Li Xiu'e said with a smile: "Don't be burdened, just think of it as staying at a friend's house temporarily. I won't force you to get married so quickly. Don't worry, Xiaomeng's leg is still hurt."
Even with the injury, we have to wait until the leg heals before we get married."
Zhang Guilan pursed her lips and smiled, "It is the rule of our village that the groom has to carry his wife on his back and run around the village. Xiaomeng's leg needs to get better quickly."
