Pampering wife without restraint

Chapter 160: Sour grapes if you can’t eat them

At the rescue camp in Idusa.

While eating a simple lunch, Shen Erlan watched the wedding video sent by Bai Chenxi with great interest.

A relieved smile appeared on her face, but there was a hint of envy and loneliness in her eyes.

The noise around her seemed to fade away gradually, and she was completely immersed in the happy scene in the video.

"It's so beautiful."

She sighed softly, her thoughts involuntarily drifting back to her past visions of the wedding.

At this time, Xu Hui came over and patted her on the shoulder: "Doctor Shen, what are you looking at so intently?"

Shen Erlan came back to her senses and whispered, "My friend's wedding is very romantic."

Xu Hui leaned over to take a look and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow! What a perfect couple, and the bride's wedding dress is so beautiful."

Shen Erlan smiled warmly: "This wedding dress was designed by another friend of mine."

Then, Lin Xiao and Xia Lili also came over to watch.

Xia Lili recognized the people in the video at a glance and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Isn't this someone from one of the major families in Beijing? Erlan, is your friend marrying into a wealthy family?"

Without waiting for Shen Erlan to respond, Yan Kexin, who had been annoyed by the noise, interrupted in a sarcastic tone:

"Humph! What's so great about marrying into a wealthy family? If you are not a good match, you will still be looked down upon."

Shen Erlan immediately retorted: "You are just saying the grapes are sour because you can't eat them. Marriage is not measured by money and status. What is important is the true feelings between two people."

Yan Kexin curled her lips and said disapprovingly: "Can feelings be eaten? The intrigues in the rich families are not something that ordinary people can endure."

Xu Hui couldn't help but retort: ​​"You can't be so extreme. Not all wealthy families are like that."

Xia Lili also agreed: "That's right, looking at how happy everyone is at this wedding, they must be truly in love."

Seeing that another dispute was about to take place, Lin Xiao sighed:

"No matter what, let's do the rescue work first. We can't interfere with other people's lives."

Shen Erlan was too lazy to pay attention to Yan Kexin. She packed up her things and walked towards the medical room nearby.

Not long after, a soldier ran in hurriedly and said loudly:

"The fighting has caused the houses to collapse and many residents have suffered heavy casualties. We need everyone to go to the rescue immediately."

When everyone heard this, they immediately put down what they were doing, quickly prepared rescue equipment, and followed the soldiers to the scene.

The scene was in a mess, with broken walls and ruins crumbling in the strong wind. Broken bricks and tiles fell from time to time, raising clouds of dust.

The groans and cries for help of the wounded sounded even more miserable amid the howling wind.

Shen Erlan and others were racing against time to search for survivors.

Her eyes were determined, and she did not miss any corner that might show signs of life.

Her hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to her forehead, and her face was covered with dust, but she never stopped moving.

"Here, come and help!"

Shen Erlan shouted loudly as she found a wounded person trapped under a stone slab.

Everyone gathered quickly, worked together to lift the stone slab, and carefully carried the injured out.

"Wuwuwu..." At this moment, Shen Erlan heard a very faint cry.

She walked in the direction of the sound and found a shivering child in a corner of a ruin.

"Don't be afraid, kid, sister is here to save you!" Shen Erlan comforted softly and tried to get closer to the child.

However, a beam overhead was crumbling and dangerous.

Shen Erlan completely ignored her own safety, rushed over quickly, and hugged the child in her arms. The moment she turned around, the beam fell down with a loud bang.

"Doctor Shen, be careful!" Ji Feng exclaimed.

Shen Erlan fell to the ground holding the child. Fortunately, both of them were safe and sound.

She hugged the child tightly and patted his back gently: "It's okay, it's okay."

Soon, a hurried sound of footsteps came closer and the child's parents finally arrived.

The anxiety in their eyes turned into relief for surviving the disaster, and their mouths spoke with authentic local accents.

Although the words are difficult to understand, their grateful eyes and clasped hands seem to be telling us silently:

"Thank you, Dr. Shen, you are our benefactor."

Shen Erlan gently handed the child to them.

Looking at the scene of the family hugging and crying, tears of emotion welled up in her eyes.

On the other side, Yan Kexin witnessed this scene, and the jealousy and dissatisfaction in her heart became more and more intense.

She muttered in a low voice: "Humph, you only know how to show off."

As time passed and night fell, lights came on at the rescue site.

Shen Erlan's physical strength was severely overdrawn, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered.

"If we work harder, we will definitely be able to save more people!"

As the captain, Ji Feng encouraged his teammates.

At this time, a cry for help came from another ruin. Lao Zhang shouted, "Come and help us, there are many injured people here."

Shen Erlan rushed over immediately after hearing the noise, only to see several injured people pinned under the stone slabs with multiple injuries on their bodies. One of them had his leg bent unnaturally, obviously with a fracture.

Shen Erlan quickly calmed down, and with her professional knowledge as a Chinese medicine orthopedic doctor, she first conducted a preliminary examination and treatment of the victim's wounds to prevent the injuries from further deteriorating.

She skillfully adjusted and fixed the bones of the injured, and at the same time comforted the injured: "Don't be afraid, you will get better soon."

Ji Feng watched from the side, his heart filled with admiration and praise:

"Doctor Shen, your medical skills are superb. We feel much more at ease with you around."

The other teammates also nodded in agreement.

Ji Feng's praise for Shen Erlan made Yan Kexin even more hostile.

She glared at Shen Erlan fiercely and muttered softly: "What's so great about that? Isn't it a doctor's duty to save the dying and the wounded?"

Shen Erlan heard what Yan Kexin said, but she chose to ignore it and continued to focus on providing follow-up treatment for the injured.

The rescue work continued until late at night, and everyone dragged their tired bodies back.

The night wind was chilly, rustling the branches on the roadside.

The moonlight sprinkled coldly on the ground, casting long shadows of everyone.

On the way, Yan Kexin said sarcastically: "You stole the limelight today, do you think you are so great?"

Shen Erlan still ignored her and just walked silently.

Seeing that Shen Erlan didn't respond, Yan Kexin became even more aggressive, "Don't play dumb, I don't believe you don't feel proud at all."

At this time, Ji Feng couldn't help but said, "Yan Kexin, that's enough! Doctor Shen saved so many people today and was exhausted, and you keep making sarcastic remarks."

Other teammates also accused Yan Kexin of being wrong.

Seeing that everyone was on Shen Erlan's side, Yan Kexin stomped her feet in anger and quickened her pace to the front.
