Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 167 Rejection
"Li... Can I call you Doctor Li?"

"Of course, many people call me that."

"Doctor Li, what did my mother say to you when she came to see you?"

"She didn't say much, she just asked about my situation. I didn't talk for a few minutes before I had to go to work, and then your mother left first."

"Huh..." Hearing that nothing was said, Zhao Yanan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but his hands on his legs unconsciously clenched into fists.

"I'm sorry, Doctor Li. My mother came to see me at school yesterday at noon, and I told her about what happened today. I really didn't expect that she would come directly to you."

While feeling angry at his old lady for acting on her own, Zhao Yanan apologized to Li Yancheng.

"It's nothing. Your mother is worried about you. I understand."

"Doctor Li, I don't know what my mother said to you yesterday. What I want to say is that what she said is what she said and it doesn't represent me."

Zhao Yanan hesitated for a moment, but decided that it would be better to speak frankly. Although the man in front of her seemed good in all aspects except his academic qualifications, she really didn't want to decide the rest of her life through blind dates.

If it were a different situation...

Thinking of this, a hint of regret flashed in her eyes. If it were a different situation, she could have taken the initiative.

Ok?
After hearing what the girl said, Li Yancheng raised his eyebrows, finding it interesting.

He understood what the girl meant. My mother is my mother, I am me, and my mother cannot be the master of me.

He smiled slightly and just opened his mouth to speak, but unexpectedly the girl opposite him spoke first.

In just a few seconds, Zhao Yanan had already had an ideological struggle in her heart. She decided to give herself a chance and also give the man opposite her a chance.

So she put forward a condition.

The purpose of her proposing this condition was to convince herself that, look, this man can make changes for you, so it is not impossible to be in a relationship with him.

"I have only one condition. If you agree, I can agree to be your partner."

Gan!
Why do you make it seem like I can't find a wife?

Li Yancheng's eyebrows were almost raised to the sky. He resisted the urge to retort and nodded: "Tell me about it."

After saying that, he didn't look at the girl again. He reached out for the cigarette on the table and lit one for himself.

"Find a way to leave the Public Security Bureau or go back to work at the hospital. This is my only condition. If you can agree to it, I will agree to be your partner."

Leave the Public Security Bureau?

Li Yancheng was slightly startled, and it took him a while to realize that the sign their unit displayed to the outside world was the Third Security Division of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

However, once you enter a noble family, it is like entering a deep sea. You cannot just quit this unit whenever you want, unless the higher-ups take the initiative to transfer you out. In that case, you will have to be arranged to sit on the bench in a remote unit for three years before they can transfer you to other units.

This refers to the second-line ones. If you are in the first-line, it is even more troublesome. If you want to leave this unit, you need to stay in the second-line for a year or two, and then go out and sit on the bench. After three years, if you have the ability to get the unit you want to go to accept you, you can be transferred.

But there are exceptions. For example, if you want to work in the Public Security Bureau, that’s easy. You will be transferred there directly.

"I'm sorry, Comrade Zhao Yanan, I haven't considered leaving our unit."

Gah!
As soon as these words were spoken, the confident expression on Zhao Yanan's face suddenly froze.

She looked at the man opposite her in disbelief, as if she wanted to confirm whether she had heard it wrong.

Seeing that she was looking at him intently, Li Yancheng shrugged his shoulders.

He admires confident girls, and there is nothing wrong with the condition they proposed. In the minds of ordinary people today, working in the Public Security Bureau is indeed not a good choice. It is busy, dangerous, and the welfare benefits are poor. It is a world of difference compared to factories and hospitals.

Zhao Yanan was a little short, only about 1.6 meters tall at most, and she looked pretty, but she had no appeal to Li Yancheng because her figure was a little skinny, which was his least favorite feature.

When he is looking for a partner, a good figure is the first requirement, followed by appearance, and finally other factors such as work, education, and family conditions. It is so superficial.

The girl didn't expect Li Yancheng to refuse so straightforwardly without even thinking about it. Her face had already turned a little ugly.

After staring at it for a few seconds, she took a deep breath and stood up, forcing a somewhat ugly smile on her face: "I'm sorry, Doctor Li, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to deal with first."

Not bad, shows good upbringing and knows how to make an excuse.

"Have a quick meal at my place."

"No, thank you, Doctor Li. My business is quite important, so I won't bother you any more."

"Is that so? Well, I'll take you there."

Over in the main house, ever since Ningning was dragged into the house by her sister-in-law by the ears, she has been lying on the window looking at the north room of the west wing. No one knows what she is mumbling with her little mouth opening and closing. Anyway, from the twitching of her nose from time to time, it can be seen that this girl is in a bad mood.

Behind her, Jin Zhihai, Xing Lihua and her mother were sitting at the table, watching the girl's reaction. They were all experienced people, so how could they not know what was going on?

"rather……"

Xing Lihua was just about to ask his sister-in-law to sit down and stop looking when Ning Ning suddenly raised her arm and pointed outside, and said in a low voice with some excitement: "It's coming out, it's coming out, Brother Dacheng is coming out, and that woman is coming out too."

Um?what's the situation?
Jin Zhihai and the other two looked at each other, stood up and walked to the window.

Isn't it out? And...

Are you leaving? It seems the talks have failed?
The three people who had experienced it could tell at a glance that something was wrong.

Not to mention them, Ningning also noticed it. She was leaning on the window and staring outside, and she had no idea whether he was talking to others or to himself.

"That woman seems a little angry. Look, she's walking so fast, almost running. What did Dacheng say? Why did she get so angry?"

"Shut up." Jin Zhihai on the side flicked his sister's head with his finger.

"Ugh, it hurts!" Ningning frowned, raised her hand to rub the place on her head where she was hit, turned her head and glared at her brother with dissatisfaction.

"You still feel the pain. Your brother Dacheng's blind date failed, and you are still gloating over his misfortune."

"Isn't that better? You've already promised me to my brother Dacheng."

The room suddenly became silent.

"Ning girl, what are you talking about?"

"Aunt, I heard everything you said to my brother and sister-in-law last night."

"Uh..." The old lady glared at her daughter and son-in-law who were standing there in silence. She reached out and pulled Ningning into her arms, gently stroking her hair.

"Ning girl, your brother and your sister-in-law did something foolish with good intentions. They are not in a hurry to marry you off."

"Aunt, I don't mean to blame my brother and sister-in-law. I know they are doing this for my own good."

At this point, Ningning looked up at her sister-in-law's mother and said, "I think it's pretty good, really, don't disbelieve me, at least my brother Dacheng won't bully me."

Ugh……

The old lady sighed in her heart and glared at her daughter and son-in-law.

Not satisfied with just glaring at them, he raised his hand and slapped each of them hard on the back.

Look at what you have done. If outsiders knew about this, who knows how it would spread. The backbone of your family and Dacheng would be broken by the rumors.

What a sin!
After beating her daughter and son-in-law, the old lady reached back and stroked Ningning's hair lovingly.

I kept thinking about how to get over this matter.

……

Old Zhao and his wife, who were sitting at the door of their house in the front yard, saw Zhao Yanan and Li Yancheng walk through the two doors one after the other. The girl's face didn't look very good, and they looked at each other in dumbfounded.

What's going on? How come the talks fell apart so quickly?
Aunt Zhang had just left her house and didn’t even know if she had reached the west exit of the alley.

"I'll go see what's going on." Old Zhao stood up and walked towards the door.

When he went out, Zhao Yanan had already walked eastward, and only Li Yancheng was standing at the steps at the door, lighting a cigarette.

"Hey Dacheng, what's going on? Didn't you buy a chicken to cook for them this morning? Why don't you invite them to eat?"

"If they are not satisfied with me, of course they will not stay for dinner."

Seeing Lao Zhao asking, Li Yancheng smiled and said indifferently.

"Unsatisfied? Are you kidding?"

"Really, Uncle Zhao, I'm not kidding."

"Dacheng, what's going on?" Jin Zhihai also chased out. Ningning also wanted to come out, but was stopped by the old lady.

"They put forward a condition to me right away, requiring me to leave my current unit and return to work in the hospital. How could that be possible?"

Li Yancheng spread his hands and explained to Lao Zhao and his brothers seemingly helplessly.

This condition...

After hearing this, Old Zhao had no other reaction except being a little angry. However, Jin Zhihai was different. He knew the nature of his brother's unit and nodded in sudden enlightenment.

"Dacheng, you can calm the girl down first, speak more gently, and then we can take it slow later."

Old Zhao felt that it was not a good idea to directly reject the conditions proposed by the girl, and said with some regret.

How could Li Yancheng not know that he should be more tactful? He could have agreed to it first, and then after they had been together for a long time and had developed feelings for each other, she would not insist on breaking up just because you couldn't adjust your work.

"But Uncle Zhao, I don't like her, so why should I keep her stable?"

"Uh……"

This sentence shut up Lao Zhao. He stiffened his neck and groaned for a long time before he said in surprise, "You don't like her? I think she's pretty. She's a teacher and a college student. Her parents both have jobs. Why don't you like her?"

Li Yancheng was almost unable to answer this question.

"She... she has a skinny body, and it's hard for her to have children."

"What nonsense are you saying, you bastard?"

Old Zhao was so angry that he laughed and kicked Li Yancheng.

"Haha..." Jin Zhihai laughed loudly, gloating.

At this time, Lao Zhao's wife in the front yard, Fan Chunmei and her husband in the back yard, Xing Lihua holding the child, her mother and Ningning all came out.

Seeing Jin Zhihai laughing so hard that he fell down, Lao Zhao also looked at himself, and Li Yancheng stood there rubbing his butt in grievance. The few people who had just come out of the yard looked over curiously, not knowing what was going on.

After listening to Lao Zhao's explanation, except Ningning, the other people immediately gave Li Yancheng a cold look.

The reason is quite bizarre.

Several people agreed that the girl probably didn't like him, and this was just an excuse he made for himself.

This made Li Yancheng laugh and cry. Why no one believed him when he told the truth?

Only Ning Ning stood on tiptoe and whispered in her brother Dacheng's ear: "Brother Dacheng, I believe what you said. The sister just now was too short, not even as tall as me, and so thin. She didn't look good at all."

The heat in his ears made Li Yancheng feel his scalp tingling and goose bumps all over his body.

He quickly moved to the side without making any noise, then raised his hand and rubbed Ningning's little head with a smile.

Ningning raised her neck and looked at her brother Dacheng, grinning foolishly.

This scene was seen by Jin Zhihai's mother-in-law. The old lady sighed again in her heart. She had a headache about what to do.

Even if you don't care about possible gossip in the future, you can't really let Dacheng wait for several years.

What if that girl changes her heart again as she gets older?
Don’t let the two families become enemies.

Alas, these children, each and every one of them is a cause for concern.

No matter how much fun you have, you still have to eat.

The chickens have been bought. Given the current temperature, they cannot be stored for a long time. Let's go home, heat up the oil and cook. We'll cook together in the yard on the 20th at noon today.

……

It didn't take long for the news that Li Yancheng failed in his blind date to spread throughout the alley. When Aunt Zhang, who had just returned home and hadn't even sat down yet, heard the news, she was completely stunned and didn't even sit down. She hurried over again.

After hearing the whole story, Li Yancheng was given a lecture that made those who heard it sad and saw it cry.

In the end, she even dragged him to school to find the girl.

"Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhang, I know you're doing this for my own good, and thank you for your kindness, but I really can't find one right now."

Li Yancheng quickly grabbed Aunt Zhang's arm and explained to her.

"Can't find it now? Dacheng, what do you mean by that?"

"Aunt Zhang, have you forgotten what you notified the neighbors in the alley on Friday?"

"Friday? Oh, I told them to be careful these days. If a stranger enters the alley or someone asks about you, they should report it to the neighborhood committee or the police station immediately. What's going on?"

"It's over now. Our case hasn't been solved yet, and the criminal is still trying to cause trouble for me. Zhihai knows this.

Aunt Zhang, I can't even guarantee my own personal safety right now, how can I dare to look for a date? What if I accidentally harm a girl?"

"Is that why you said you're not in a hurry to find a partner?" Aunt Zhang suddenly realized.

"That's one thing. On the other hand, I really wasn't lying just now. I really don't like people who are too thin."

"Smelly boy"

"Hehe...I am not telling the truth."

"I don't mind you being a second marriage, but you look down on me."

"Everyone has to have some pursuits, don't you think so, Aunt Zhang?" Li Yancheng smiled apologetically and pulled Aunt Zhang back to sit on the chair.

"You can have lunch at my place this afternoon and try my cooking. I made chicken and noodles."

"What are you eating? I'm already full of anger because of you. I won't eat."

"Oh, you are so magnanimous, don't argue with me. I am short-sighted and can't see the inner qualities and moral character of a person. All I see at first glance is the appearance."

"You kid, you're really a cause of worry." Aunt Zhang raised her hand helplessly and patted Li Yancheng's arm.

"Hey, please take a seat. The chicken is already being stewed over at Zhihai's place. I promise you'll have something different to eat today."

"Alright, I won't eat your food either. As for you, I, your aunt, don't know what to say. You have always had a righteous mind since you were young. You can find one yourself in the future. If you need your aunt's help, come and tell me."

"Okay, don't worry. I will definitely need your help when the time comes, but please don't leave today. I have done a lot today, and I was planning to let Ningning go to call you."

"I really don't want to eat today. Some people from my mother's side are coming over later and I have to entertain them." Aunt Zhang said as she stood up.

"Aunt Zhang, please don't lie. I'm telling you, this chicken I made is really delicious."

"I appreciate your kindness, but today I really can't do it."

Seeing that Aunt Zhang was determined to leave, Li Yancheng had no choice but to give up.

Standing at the gate and watching the figure walking away, he felt very sorry for her. Aunt Zhang didn't want anything in return, she was just doing this for his own good. Alas... But marriage is a major event in a person's life, and he didn't want to settle for anything less.

……

A unit in Chengdong District
In a small office, the light in the room was a little dim because the curtains were drawn.

The middle-aged man who appeared in the small courtyard in the middle of the night last night was now sitting on the sofa, smoking a cigarette and thinking about something with a frown on his brow.

Just now he went to the contact point as usual to see if there was any information, and saw that someone on the material supply line had left a message saying that they were missing a very important person on the line, causing the batch of goods to arrive at least ten days late.

After seeing this message, he hurried to the post office and used his own method to contact everyone on that line.

After the contact, he got a mixed result.

The missing person was temporarily sent on a business trip because there was an extremely urgent matter in the factory.

What worries me is that it will take at least ten days for that person to return from this business trip.

He can't come back until ten days later, which means that the goods will not arrive in Beijing until twenty days later at the earliest.

This made him very anxious.

He had been feeling a little uneasy lately, which was why he wanted to get rid of that guy last night.

As long as that disobedient guy is dealt with, no one in Jing City will know his true identity.

In this way, even if all the remaining people in Jing City were arrested, he would not have to worry about being exposed, and there would be enough time for him to leave slowly.
