If anyone is the most guilty of Zhao Zhuangshi's injury, it must be Yu Xiangqin.
He was injured like this because he was trying to save her, and she felt even more uncomfortable than if she was injured.
Yu Xiangqin covered her face and cried until she was out of breath. Her cry was heartbreaking, comparable to Widow Zhao.
Lin Nianhe took advantage of her crying to lift the quilt and check her ankle that was injured twice.
She injured her right foot and her ankle was bruised. Miao Hongqi rubbed her with medicinal wine, and Lin Nianhe used her bag to stop her and took out a piece of plaster from the space that was specially designed to treat bruises and applied it to her.
After doing this, she reached out and patted Yu Xiangqin, interrupting her crying: "Okay, stop crying, think about something serious."
Yu Xiangqin sobbed and cried, her head hurting even more.
Yes, she had to think about something serious - Zhao Zhuangshi couldn't be discharged from the hospital even after being injured for a while, and Widow Zhao would definitely not be able to take care of him alone.
She sniffed, moved a few times, and lay down.
She had to get better quickly, she had to take care of him.
With her eyes closed, she couldn't sleep no matter what. Tears slid down the corners of her eyes and wet the pillow.
Wang Xue sighed lightly and reached out to poke Yu Xiangqin: "Xiangqin, I still have some money here. If you want to use it, just tell me."
Miao Hongqi also nodded: "I have some too."
The two of them thought that since Zhao Zhuangshi was so seriously injured, the medical expenses must be high, and Yu Xiangqin would not be able to raise that much.
Yu Xiangqin slowly opened her eyes and stared blankly at the beam: "How much does it cost to replace a leg?"
Wang Xue and Miao Hongqi both fell silent and looked at each other. Neither of them knew how to respond.
Yu Xiangqin lay there in a daze, like a wooden person who couldn't think.
After a while, she suddenly said:
"I'll marry him."
"What?"
Zhao Zhuangshi looked at Yu Xiangqin with horror in his eyes: "Will you marry me? There is something wrong with you!"
Three days have passed since the accident, and Yu Xiangqin was finally able to get off the ground and walk slowly on her own. The first thing she did was follow Wang Hong to the health center and directly expressed her thoughts to Zhao Zhuangshi.
As soon as she said these words, not only Zhao Zhuangshi was shocked, but Widow Zhao and Wang Hong were also stunned.
Yu Xiangqin originally felt very guilty when she saw Zhao Zhuangshi acting like that, but when she heard that he said something was wrong with her, her face stopped blushing and her heart stopped pounding, and her eyes widened: "What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?" ? I can work, and I am still an educated youth. Although I am twenty-one, I am one year younger than you!"
Zhao Zhuangshi: "That's why I said there's something wrong with you."
He knows his reputation very well. What girl from a good family dares to marry him!
Wang Hong watched from the side and understood why Yu Xiangqin wanted to marry Zhao Zhuangshi. She felt it was inappropriate, but she couldn't say anything to persuade her.
Widow Zhao was actually quite annoyed when she saw Yu Xiangqin. It would be a lie to say that her son doesn't complain because she has become like this. But after hearing her say that she wanted to marry her son, she was... quite embarrassed.
"You!" Yu Xiangqin clenched her fists and stared at Zhao Zhuangshi.
She is a big girl, and she is very embarrassed to say such things to a man. Even if he didn't give an answer, he actually said there was something wrong with her!
She, she...
Widow Zhao tugged at the corner of her mouth, wiped the sweat off her palms, stood up and pulled Yu Xiangqin and said, "Well, Yu Zhiqing, come out and I'll say a few words to you."
Facing the expectant mother-in-law she felt in her heart, Yu Xiangqin obediently followed her and limped slowly out of the ward.
Widow Zhao did not stop after going out and continued walking forward.
She was in a state of confusion, and her brain was already thinking about all the things that happened to Yu Xiangqin over the years.
This girl is indeed very quick at work, clean, and can endure hardships. I heard that her parents work both ways, but there are three younger brothers at home, so they don't take her seriously. And she has a bad mouth, like a firecracker... This temperament can control men.
Widow Zhao walked to the end of the corridor and stopped when there was no way left.
She turned around and saw Yu Xiangqin holding on to the wall and limping along.
Seeing her like this, Widow Zhao unconsciously thought about whether her son would have to walk like this in the future... She felt a little uncomfortable, so she asked, "Is your leg not healed yet?"
"It's okay, I'm just sprained," Yu Xiangqin replied nonchalantly, walked up to Widow Zhao and asked, "Auntie, what do you want to say?"
Widow Zhao looked at her with complicated eyes and was silent for a long time. She dragged Yu Xiangqin to sit down on the stool, stared at the white wall and said, "I'm talking nonsense when I say I don't blame you. I also know that you said you wanted to repay him by marrying Zhuangzhi. , but... if something goes wrong with his legs in the future... you, you are a city girl, if you get married here, you will not be able to go back, I, I..."
"Yu Zhiqing, if you want to repay the favor, just take the money for the medicine. If you can't take it out for a while, it's fine. You don't need it... This is a lifetime thing, don't delay yourself."
Facing an educated youth daughter-in-law who came to her door, Widow Zhao's heart fluttered for three seconds.
But then she thought about it, she wanted to marry her son in order to repay him for saving his life. How long can she maintain this thought? Will she regret it when she sees other educated youths returning to the city? After regretting it, she couldn't blame Zhao Zhuangshi?
Is it still possible to survive that day?
Yu Xiangqin grasped the corner of her clothes and whispered: "Aunt, this is not about money. He is doing it because of me... I can't help him. If I dislike him, then who am I?"
In the past three days, several girls from the educated youth center had tried to persuade her either tactfully or directly.
She herself thought a lot.
The more I think about it, the more determined I become.
Widow Zhao slowly looked away and looked at her suspiciously: "Are you really going to marry him?"
"Um."
Yu Xiangqin nodded, her face slightly red: "Actually, this is not the first time he has helped me..."
"Not the first time? What do you mean?"
In the village school, several teachers were sweeping away the snow with their brooms, and while they were sweeping, they started gossiping.
Lin Nianhe hugged a large broom that was about the same height as her, took out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket and scattered them around. She looked at Miao Hongqi with burning eyes: "Hammer, tell me!"
Wang Xue was also a little puzzled and asked doubtfully: "Yes, when did it happen? Why don't I know?"
"You weren't here yet," Miao Hongqi said while sweeping away the snow. "It really scared us both that time..."
Yu Xiangqin and Miao Hongqi were part of a group of people who went to the countryside. At that time, there were only a few educated youths in the Shili Brigade, and they were the only female educated youths.
Miao Hongqi back then was still Miao Yulan, and Yu Xiangqin back then was not as aggressive as she is now.
Back then, we were poorer than we are now.
There was a thief in the educated youth spot back then. Food was stolen, money was stolen, and even a red scarf with holes in it was stolen from Yu Xiangqin.
Later, the scarf was found.
Yu Xiangqin found it when she went to town to send a letter.
Her scarf was around the other girl's neck.
She determined that the girl was the one who stole their things. Without thinking, she rushed up and grabbed the girl's braid to drag her to the police station.
Then, not surprisingly, Yu Xiangqin was beaten by a bunch of the girl's brothers.
Later, the young village bully found out that the family was from the Victory Brigade, and he brought his brothers to the door.
He snatched back the grain and asked for his money back.
The red scarf was put back on Yu Xiangqin's neck.
