Chapter 48

Yuan Guang's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was still heard by everyone around, and the villagers all surrounded Su Qianqian, pointing and whispering.

"Su Qianqian is pregnant; it must have been that time when we watched the movie."

"It's exactly a month ago; how disgusting."

"What's disgusting about it? She and Shen Xunbao are getting married soon!"

Su Qianqian held back the tears in her eyes, "You're talking nonsense! You're lying! I just have inflammation, my gums are swollen, so I came to you for medical treatment. I didn't expect you to try to harm me!"

Su Qianqian saw Su Qingyue at the back of the line, pointed at her, and said with a sudden realization, "I know now, you are taking revenge for Su Qingyue. You like Su Qingyue, so you are slandering my reputation!"

The crowd exploded again.

"Why does it have anything to do with Su Qingyue again? She doesn't even know Itinerant Physician Yuan."

"How can they not know each other? Wasn't it Itinerant Physician Yuan who called the police about the cornfield incident last time?"

"That doesn't prove anything, does it?"

Su Qingwu couldn't stand Su Qianqian being so crazy, "Su Qianqian, speak properly, don't splash dirty water on Qingyue!"

Su Qianqian's voice was sharp, "I'm not splashing dirty water! Su Qingyue is just loose! I saw with my own eyes yesterday that Itinerant Physician Yuan gave a can of fruit to Su Qingyue. Su Qingyue, do you dare to swear you didn't accept the can?"

Su Qianqian was deliberately smearing Su Qingyue. She knew that Su Qingyue was going to give the can to Dai Xiaohong in the evening and wouldn't say it in public, so she wanted to make her suffer in silence.

Su Qingyue smiled brightly and said with an open and honest manner, "Why should I swear to you! Itinerant Physician Yuan and I are perfectly innocent. If you aren't pregnant, just let the other two doctors take your pulse and you'll know, or go to the Health Center to check; there's nothing to argue about."

"That's right, let Dr. Wang and Dr. Zhou check. But Itinerant Physician Yuan shouldn't be lying; every consultation has been very accurate."

"Exactly, my child's fever was cured by him. Why would he talk nonsense and ruin his own reputation?"

Su Qianqian hurriedly hid her hands behind her back, "I won't let them! How do I know if they are all in on it together!"

Once the crowd saw her posture, there was nothing they didn't understand; she was clearly guilty of a guilty conscience.

Dr. Zhou spoke indifferently, "If you are pregnant, you shouldn't take medicine randomly if your gums are swollen; be careful of a miscarriage. You'd better go to the Health Center to check."

Su Qianqian's face turned pale, and she hurriedly ran to find Shen Xunbao.

After running two steps, she held her belly and stopped in a hurry. She knew that she was most likely pregnant; her period hadn't come when it was supposed to, her appetite had grown a lot lately, and she occasionally felt nauseous.

It's all that bitch Su Qingyue's fault! Itinerant Physician Yuan has a good relationship with Pei Huaiye and deliberately helped her frame her in public!

Since Su Qingyue likes Pei Huaiye, then she will never let her get this man!

Su Qianqian thought for a long time and turned to find Li Cuiyan first.

She must make Su Qingyue taste what it feels like to lose something!

After the free medical consultation ended, Su Qingyue went to the Educated Youth Courtyard to find Dai Xiaohong. She lowered her voice and said, "This is what Yuan Guang asked me to give to you."

Dai Xiaohong's originally gloomy expression suddenly brightened, "Is it really for me?"

Su Qingyue smiled playfully, "Of course it's for you. It's just because I was afraid of outsiders gossiping that I had me pass it on when no one was around. I didn't expect Su Qianqian to see it."

Dai Xiaohong smiled shyly, "Thank you, Qingyue."

Su Qingyue smiled, "You're welcome. Then I'll be going first; if you need anything, come find me." Just as she stepped out of the girls' dormitory, she heard two girls in the kitchen gossiping.

The subject of the gossip was Pei Huaiye.

Su Qianqian deliberately exclaimed, "So you and Pei Huaiye have known each other since you were very young?"

Li Cuiyan's delicate voice rang out, "Yes, when I was thirteen. He was living in a cave at the time, and to save me, he drove away a wolf. I have always kept it in my heart; he is my hero."

"My god, Pei Huaiye actually drove away a wolf for you! He is really good to you, even risking his life."

Li Cuiyan nodded nervously, "So I want to marry him. Uncle Pei has already agreed, and we will get married when Pei Huaiye returns from his business trip."

Su Qianqian said loudly, "Congratulations, congratulations! You must invite me to the wedding feast!"

"Congratulations to you too!" Li Cuiyan looked at Su Qingyue, who had paused for a moment outside the door, and her expression was indeed not very good.

Su Qingyue didn't believe the words that Su Qianqian and Li Cuiyan were singing in harmony, but she was still affected. She walked home slowly, feeling like a frost-bitten eggplant.

As soon as she got home, she saw Su Mingqiang also sulking, "Father, what's wrong with you?"

Su Qingwu hesitated to speak, but finally, Li Zilan spoke in a low voice, "Qingyue, you and Pei Huaiye should just break it off. Pei Fugui went to Wang Juqin's house today to propose marriage, wanting Li Cuiyan to be his family's eldest daughter-in-law. Everyone saw it just now, and it has already spread."

Su Qingyue looked incredulous, "Pei Huaiye is not at home; without his consent, can his parents just make decisions and propose marriage for him?"

Su Qingyue seemed unable to find her own voice, and her face was deathly pale.

Li Zilan helped Qingyue sit down, "That family is just like that; their relationship is bad and they torture each other. His parents are just that unreasonable. Qingyue, it's better if we don't marry into that family, so you won't be angry every day."

Su Qingyue shook her head; she absolutely could not let Pei Huaiye marry another woman!

"Hey! Qingyue, where are you going?!" Li Zilan stamped her feet, and when she followed her out, she saw that Su Qingyue had already run out of sight.

Itinerant Physician Yuan was still at the brigade. Su Qingyue ran over in one breath and told him the whole story, saying aggrievedly, "So do you have any way to contact Pei Huaiye? Tell him! If he doesn't come back, his wife will be gone!"

Yuan Guang looked at Su Qingyue, whose eyes were red with anxiety, and was so scared he got on his bicycle and left, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I'll go back to the county town now to find a way. You hold things down here in the village!"

Su Qingyue walked back in extreme anxiety.

On the way, she was blocked by Su Qianqian again. She pushed a girl beside her forward and said triumphantly, "Su Qingyue, look closely, this is Pei Huaiye's fiancée, Li Cuiyan. Pei Huaiye's parents have already gone to her house to propose marriage; you have no chance!"

Su Qingyue clenched her fists until they were white, but her face still wore a flowery smile, "Su Qianqian, if you have time to sow discord here, you might as well go to the county town to see if the baby in your belly is healthy. You're going to be a mother, so do less evil and accumulate more blessings! It's good for the child!"

Su Qianqian was so angry her face turned red and then white, "Su Qingyue, don't pretend to be calm; you must be dying of anger inside, but it's a pity, it's useless!"

Li Cuiyan looked at Su Qingyue, who was as beautiful as a fairy, and thinking that she also liked Pei Huaiye, she immediately developed a sense of hostility, "My parents will definitely agree to our marriage. Su Qingyue, please don't interfere in the relationship between me and Pei Huaiye when the time comes."

Su Qingyue smiled brilliantly, her eyes filled with cold mockery, "Oh, does Pei Huaiye even know your name? Since you like him, you should know his temperament. Do you think he will agree to a marriage set by his parents?"

Li Cuiyan said in a fit of pique, "Who says Pei Huaiye doesn't know me? We have a very good relationship; I even have the keys to his house!"

Su Qingyue smiled faintly, lively, beautiful, playful, and cute, "Cuiyan, was your pillow too high last night? Did Pei Huaiye give you the keys in your dreams?"

Su Qingyue turned and left, too lazy to argue with them. Now she only hoped that Yuan Guang could contact Pei Huaiye and have him return early to deal with these family matters.

An anxious night passed. Su Qingyue finished collecting the vegetables and prepared to ask around if Wang Juqin had agreed to the Pei family's proposal.

She saw Su Qingxi run over and say, "Sister, it's bad! Li Cuiyan has opened Pei Huaiye's door!"
