Chapter 19

Bai Ying knew what was going on.

Zhu Xiaoxiao's move did not necessarily mean to ruin her marriage with Shen Ao.

After all, the brigade had already issued the letter of certification, so her marriage to Shen Ao was a foregone conclusion.

It was estimated that Zhu Xiaoxiao did this simply because she was humiliated at her house yesterday and felt unhappy, so she told this to Old Lady Bai, hoping to kill someone with a borrowed knife and let Old Lady Bai make things difficult for her.

Zhu Xiaoxiao can kill someone with a borrowed knife, so why can't she?

Bai Ying's eyes flashed, and he already had a way to deal with it in his mind.

She was not too angry about Zhu Xiaoxiao's behavior. Even if Zhu Xiaoxiao didn't say it today, Old Mrs. Bai would know sooner or later that she and Shen Ao were going to get married.

Fortunately, she had deployed Zhou Li as a chess piece in advance, so she was not caught off guard by Zhu Xiaoxiao.

"I know about this matter. Thank you for taking the trip to tell me." Bai Ying nodded at Zhou Li and gave her a friendly smile.

Zhou Li blushed, a little uncomfortable with Bai Ying's friendly expression. She subconsciously touched her nose and said, "Well, I don't know why Zhu Xiaoxiao did this. Anyway, you know the reason."

After saying that, Zhou Li turned around and was about to leave.

She separated from Zhu Xiaoxiao on the pretext of going to her aunt's house for a free meal. The brigade clinic where Bai Ying worked was near her aunt's house, so she wouldn't be noticed by Zhu Xiaoxiao if she stopped by on her way to a free meal.

Informing on others is a small matter, but eating for free is a big deal in Zhou Li's life. She has to hurry to get the meal from her cousin's aunt and then go back to the educated youth point to continue keeping an eye on Zhu Xiaoxiao!

"Wait," Bai Ying called Zhou Li and took out a piece of hard candy from the drawer and stuffed it into Zhou Li's hand. "This is for you."

As for children, they need to be coaxed when getting injections or taking medicine. Bai Ying spent her own money to prepare a lot of hard candies in the brigade clinic, and gave a piece of candy to any uncooperative child.

Although Zhou Li was not a child and was even a few years older than her, she still needed to express her gratitude to the other party for completing the task she assigned so effectively.

"Really, really give it to me?"

Zhou Li was shocked by Bai Ying's generosity. She quickly peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed the candy into her mouth. She puffed out her cheeks and said incoherently, "I've eaten it all. If you ask me for more, I won't give it back to you!"

Seeing Zhou Li protecting her food, Bai Ying wanted to laugh.

Zhou Li looks like a little black bear snatching food from others. Why does she look a little cute for some reason?

Just one piece of candy made Zhou Li feel more favorable towards Bai Ying.

She seemed to remember something, and before leaving, she reminded him, "By the way, Gu Changkong was bitten by a snake while plowing the fields this afternoon. Zhu Xiaoxiao has been busy following him around, so she might come to your place soon. If you don't want to see them, you'd better go home early."

Although Zhou Li is not very smart, she knows clearly who is good to her or not. She has been Zhu Xiaoxiao's follower for two years, but Zhu Xiaoxiao only makes promises and never gives her any benefits for free.

Zhu Xiaoxiao is from Shanghai and her family is wealthy. Her family sends her a lot of rare items every month, which Zhu Xiaoxiao uses herself and gives to Gu Changkong.

As her roommate, she had to work and serve Zhu Xiaoxiao in exchange for a piece of candy and half a piece of dessert. When Zhu Xiaoxiao gave her these little things, she acted arrogantly and gave alms.

Even in daily life, if Zhou Li didn't agree with Zhu Xiaoxiao and made her unhappy, Zhu Xiaoxiao would keep pestering her and ask her to return everything she had eaten...

Zhu Xiaoxiao is acting like a real lady! How can she be as generous as Bai Ying?

"Zhou Li, thank you."

While Bai Ying was sincerely thanking her, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Zhou Li was bribed with just a piece of candy. Foodies are so easy to win over.

She took Zhou Li's instructions to heart, quickly packed her things and prepared to go home.

Unexpectedly, as Bai Ying just walked to the door of the clinic, she ran into Zhu Xiaoxiao with a group of educated youth, who were supporting Gu Changkong and blocked her in the clinic.

"Brother Changkong, sit down and take a rest."

Zhu Xiaoxiao caringly supported Gu Changkong and placed him on the chair where patients sat during consultations. From beginning to end, her eyes were full of concern when she looked at Gu Changkong.

But Gu Changkong was like a blind man. He kept staring at Bai Ying as soon as he entered the health room and refused to look away. The expression on his pale face was so complicated, and his eyes were a mixture of love and hate.
