Chapter 66 :There is a real partner in the countryside

“Oh my god, do you even have any sense? You’re unconscious right now. You still want to fight with me?”

Lin Xiangnan remained expressionless, pinching her Renzhong point with one hand, and moving Hu Meili’s arm away with the other. He even neatly placed her two hands on her abdomen.

Good, she looked peaceful.

Her elaborate operation made Grandma Hu frown.

“Move aside, let me do it.” Grandma Hu said anxiously, “Young people just can’t handle things. Your mom is unconscious. If you don’t pinch the right spot, how can she wake up?”

Grandma Hu took over, and soon Hu Meili’s Renzhong point bled.

Hu Meili was tough, she remained motionless and continued to feign unconsciousness.

Lin Xiangnan was helpless, he dared not speak or hint, so he could only secretly poke Grandma Hu’s lower back.

After poking several times, Grandma Hu, who was in a hurry, finally realized, silently exchanged a speechless look with Lin Xiangnan.

Her own daughter was playing tricks, could she kill her or something? She could only help to cover it up.

Grandma Hu first loosened her grip, directed Hu Daxi to carry Hu Meili onto the cart, and then whispered, “Go to the hospital, don’t look for anyone else. Just find Dr. Liu.”

“Huh?” Hu Daxi was stunned for two seconds, then he understood.

For families like the Hu family, who had worked at the pharmaceutical factory for decades, it wasn’t unusual to have a few close doctor friends.

Hu Meili wanted to use medical retirement to make Lin Xiangdong return to the city, how could she not have some backup plans?

They had already discussed it beforehand. After Lin Xiangdong returned to the city, Hu Meili would go to the hospital to get a certificate for heart disease, ideally stay in the hospital for two days, and put on a show of being close to death.

This way, she could go to the neighborhood committee to get a certificate, allowing the organization to give Lin Xiangdong special care and keep him in the city. With the neighborhood committee’s certificate, Lin Xiangdong would be able to find a job at a unit, otherwise, most units wouldn’t recruit employees with rural hukou.

Once his job was secured, Lin Xiangdong’s hukou could also be transferred back.

Besides the common practice of returning to the city through medical retirement for the intellectual youth themselves, parents using medical retirement to bring their children back to the city was also a common tactic. It wouldn’t be humane if parents were about to die and still forced their children to leave.

When Lao Hei Liu helped Liu Honghe get a job, simply opening a medical record could transfer the job to his child, because Liu Honghe had a city hukou, the operation was not difficult.

However, Lin Xiangdong was still an intellectual youth, his relationship was still with the production team, it would be much more troublesome to make arrangements.

The whole family made a big fuss about sending Hu Meili to the hospital.

The familiar Dr. Liu, under Hu Daxi’s hint, immediately understood his intention and readily took over.

Seeing the blood mark on Hu Meili’s Renzhong point, the slap mark and tears on Lin Xiangdong’s face, Dr. Liu silently muttered to himself.

Good heavens! The Hu family are quite good at acting. And their acting skills are all superb.

On the way here, countless people had watched the spectacle. They didn’t need the family to deliberately spread the word, the neighbors should know by now that Hu Meili had fainted from anger.

Under Dr. Liu’s arrangement, Hu Meili was gloriously admitted to the hospital that day.

“Oh, oh, you unfilial son, you’re going to kill me!” Hu Meili opened her eyes, clutching her chest, continuing her performance, “Just now, it went dark before my eyes, I thought I wouldn’t see you all again.”

Lin Xiangdong’s eyes were red, he stood in front of the bed with a guilty face, “Mom, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, I won’t make you angry anymore.”

“Get out of here, I get angry when I see you.” Hu Meili pointed to the door, kicking Lin Xiangdong out.

Seeing this, Lin Xiangnan quickly instructed, “Big brother, Mom should stay in the hospital for two days. Go back and bring Mom’s basin and towels, and bring the thermos from Mom’s room. I’ll stay here with Mom.”

He found an excuse to send him away, but he was still uneasy, standing at the door watching him leave.

“Mom, why didn’t you say anything before you suddenly started acting? Luckily I’m smart, otherwise who would have played along with you?” Lin Xiangnan leaned in and asked, “What exactly is the situation with Big Brother in the countryside, you should tell me.”

Hu Meili glared at her fiercely, grumbling, “You little rascal, why didn’t you just strangle me to death.”

“You’re a bully too. Grandma was the one who was rough, you blame me.”

Lin Xiangnan didn’t give her any face and urged, “Hurry up and tell me. If you don’t, I’ll expose your stage in front of Big Brother. See how you can continue to act.”

After making such a big scene, Hu Meili’s anger had subsided a lot.

“What else could it be? Didn’t you guess? He’s dating someone.”

“Details!”

“You know, the girl in the production team where your brother is an intellectual youth, she’s liked your brother for two or three years. Your brother also thinks the girl is good, so they’ve been dating. Something happened recently, and they held a wedding in the countryside.”

Hu Meili said with some annoyance, “I used to tell him in my letters that I wouldn’t accept a wife from outside, he was afraid I would be angry, so he didn’t mention it in his letters. He just wanted to bring her to me when he came home for a visit next time, and explain it to me in person.”

Meeting face-to-face is more effective than dry words.

Hearing Lin Xiangdong’s plan, Lin Xiangnan couldn’t help but sigh.

Under conditions with no hope or future, spending 6 years in the countryside, very few people would still have hope of returning to the city.

During this time, his family was not around, being lonely for a long time, it was normal for Lin Xiangdong to succumb to the temptation of love.

Moreover, in Lin Xiangdong’s description, that girl loved him very much.

“It’s already like this, Mom, why are you still making a fuss?” Lin Xiangnan suggested, “Don’t make things difficult for Big Brother. At worst, you can send him more money and food stamps, let him have a better life in the countryside. There will definitely be other opportunities to return to the city later.”

“They only had a wedding, they didn’t go to the registry office to register their marriage.”

“How do you know?”

“Of course I know, I asked. Your brother’s girlfriend is not yet 18, she’s not old enough to register for marriage.”

The current legal marriage age is 20 for men and 18 for women.

But in the countryside, people get married early, and there is no awareness of getting a marriage certificate. In the city, you can get extra tickets with a marriage certificate, but there’s no such benefit in the village.

Without a registered marriage, in Hu Meili’s eyes, this marriage was not recognized.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone through all this trouble to deceive Lin Xiangdong.

In the original plan, she didn’t intend to hide her pretending to be sick from Lin Xiangdong.

But now, Hu Meili wanted to use this to force Lin Xiangdong to compromise.

Thinking of this bloody drama of breaking up a couple, which was about to happen in her own family, Lin Xiangnan’s head was already big, “Mom, can’t you just let them be?”

“If it were a small matter, I would let him be, but this is a matter that affects a lifetime.”

Speaking of her sadness, Hu Meili started to cry again.

“Your grandpa is now receiving a retirement pension, every day he has nothing to do but go play chess with other old men. Your second grandpa is still cutting wheat in the countryside.”

“Now you and Xiao Xi are city people, Xiangdong is an intellectual youth in the countryside. In the future, your children and Xiao Xi’s children will still be workers in the city, but Xiangdong’s children will only be able to farm the land.”

“At that time, how will he feel?”
