Chapter 86

There were footsteps outside, and Shen Qingli stood up to greet them.

“Yu Bai.”

“Qingli, the Cui brothers and sisters are here to look for you. It seems something has happened. Go and take a look.” Zhou Yubai said.

“Okay.” Shen Qingli responded. She knew that the Cui siblings came with Zhou Yubai and the others, so she walked out quickly.

Zhou Yubai followed behind her. It was dark at night and he was afraid that Shen Qingli would fall.

Outside the hospital.

Cui Jingqing and Cui Jingming were standing in front of the car. When they saw Shen Qingli, they went to greet her.

Cui Jingqing was already angry, and seeing Shen Qingli felt aggrieved and sad, tears started to fall down her face.

“Qingqing, what happened?” Shen Qingli reached out and grabbed Cui Jingqing, then looked at Cui Jingming.

Seeing that they were not in a hurry to let him get in the car, it should not be that something happened to Cui’s mother. Then what happened?

Shen Qingli was a little curious.

Cui Jingming coughed twice and recounted what had happened.

Zhou Yubai’s face was as dark as ink, he said nothing. Zhou Sian was a scheming girl, not as innocent as she looked.

Shen Qingli patted Cui Jingqing lightly, “It’s not a big deal, Qingqing. You don’t know our relationship. Just look at her, she is Yu Bainiang. You are helping us out of kindness.”

“We appreciate it.”

Cui Jingqing cried even harder, “Wow, I personally participated in the rescue. I stood for several hours. I tried so hard. Wow, if I had known I would not have gone. I regret it so much.”

“Qingqing, I’m going to say something to you about this.” Shen Qingli said seriously.

Cui Jingqing: Come on, scold me, let the storm come even more violently.

“You are a doctor. No matter who your patient is, as long as you enter the operating room, she is your responsibility. You can feel frustrated because you are not well-trained or have insufficient experience, but you cannot regret doing what a doctor should do.”

“Do you understand?”

Cui Jingqing’s eyes widened. She didn’t expect Shen Qingli to say that…

“Think about it, the Hippocratic Oath.” Shen Qingli continued.

Cui Jingqing’s expression changed from surprise to guilt. She really did several things wrong today. She held Shen Qingli’s hand and said, “Qingli, thank you.”

“Okay, it’s us, husband and wife, who want to thank you. If Widow Zhou really got into trouble because of me, I would have to endure enough gossip and rumors in the village. This is good.” Shen Qingli smiled.

Cui Jingming and Cui Jingqing felt relieved when they saw that she really didn’t mind at all. After talking for a while, Shen Qingli asked them to go back quickly as it was too late.

The two drove away.

Shen Qingli turned around and grabbed Zhou Yubai’s hand, “Are you angry?”

Zhou Yubai nodded.

“Zhou Sian is smarter than Zhou Sicheng.” Shen Qingli sighed softly, then raised her eyes to look at Zhou Yubai, “Yubai, this is not a bad thing.”

“I know.” Zhou Yubai took Shen Qingli’s hand and walked towards the backyard.

Gu Qichuan had already carried Gou Wa and Niu Niu back to the front yard and just walked across from the two of them. “Go to bed early.”

“Yeah, you too, Brother Qichuan.” Shen Qingli responded and went back to the backyard with Zhou Yubai. After taking a shower, the two lay on the bed and chatted.

“I won’t let them off so easily. Just wait and see.”

Shen Qingli looked up, “Where have you been? Why don’t you tell me now?”

“I won’t tell you.” Zhou Yubai was in a rare mood to keep the secret.

Shen Qingli put her little hand into his clothes, “Why don’t you tell me?”

“Yeah.” Zhou Yubai turned over and kissed her.

Shen Qingli: This bamboo bed creaks…

The next morning, everyone who was helping to build the house arrived early. Yesterday’s incident with Widow Zhou had spread throughout the village, and no one saw Shen Qingli all morning.

Zhou Yubai said she was too sick to get out of bed.

Everyone sighed silently. After all, Widow Zhou was Zhou Yubai’s biological mother, so there was nothing wrong with her making such a fuss. However, outsiders like them couldn’t say much.

Sun Xiuli came early in the morning with Zhuzi’s mother.

“We sisters will have to cook lunch today. I don’t know how long we will have to take care of Qingli.” Sun Xiuli said.

When the captain returned home last night, Sun Xiuli was waiting for him. Worried that he hadn’t eaten dinner, she left some food for him on the stove.

The captain told what happened while eating.

He had really never done anything so shameful before and felt very sorry.

“Qingli must be more seriously ill now.” Sun Xiuli thought of a lot of things at once, so she got up in the morning and called Zhuzi’s mother to go with her.

In this way, Shen Qingli doesn’t have to leave the shed, she can just say she is sick and no one can go in to see her.

Widow Zhou took the initiative to provoke, so she deserved to be injured and hospitalized, but Qingli was innocent, so naturally no one would say anything.

Shen Qingli was sitting on the bed staring at Gou Wa Niuniu.

“Mom, why do they all say you are sick?” asked Gou Wa.

As soon as he and Niu Niu went out and heard the discussions, they immediately came back to find Shen Qingli.

“Come, Ruirui, take a look at your mother and see if she looks sick?” Shen Qingli asked with a smile.

Gou Wa looked at Shen Qingli carefully, and after a while he spoke solemnly, “I see that mother’s face is rosy, and she looks very energetic. She doesn’t look sick.”

“Well, you are right.” Shen Qingli patted Gou Wa’s shoulder encouragingly.

“Then why does everyone say that Mom is sick?” Niu Niu asked curiously.

“Because some adult things happened, they thought mom was sick.” Shen Qingli smiled, “You two should do what you need to do. If someone asks about me, just say I’m recuperating and can’t be disturbed. Remember that?”

“Yes!” Gou Wa and Niu Niu responded.

Although they didn’t quite understand, they were obedient.

The two little ones took Xiao Hei out.

Sun Xiuli and Zhuzi’s mother are here.

“Auntie, Auntie Zhang, you’re here.” Shen Qingli greeted with a smile.

“You just stay in the shed today and do what you need to do. Leave lunch to us,” said Sun Xiuli.

“Well, thank you, auntie.” Shen Qingli understood Sun Xiuli’s good intentions and naturally agreed. She went to the cellar and took out a small bowl of ribs and pork belly.

Sun Xiuli and Zhuzi’s mother felt painful when seeing this.

Fortunately, Shen Qingli took out brown rice as the staple food this time.

But it contains meat, and the brown rice with meat also has a meaty aroma.

The two of them followed Shen Qingli’s instructions and stewed a big pot of pork rib soup. The ribs were cut into four pieces for each person, the pork belly was braised, and some wild vegetables were stir-fried with animal oil. Just thinking about it makes you drool.

The house was built in a hurry, and the saying that there is strength in numbers is fully reflected.

By noon, the beams were almost installed.

Sun Xiuli and Zhuzi’s mother went to deliver the food. Seeing the pot of braised pork and pork ribs soup on the cart, everyone’s eyes were wide open again…

The food is so good, even better than during the Chinese New Year.

Shen Qingli also followed. She deliberately made her face pale, walked behind, and coughed a few times.

“Why are you here?” Zhou Yubai walked a few steps to Shen Qingli…
