267 266: not reconciled

No care, no comfort. She was immediately scolded. "You this wretched wench, can not stop a little bit? Ah?"

"Is the disaster area a place for a girl to go? Do you have a death wish? Are you too indulgent?"

"Pack your things and go home immediately. It's a disgrace."

Zhao Yingying held the phone tightly. After a long while, she found her voice and said, "How am I embarrassing myself? I'm a soldier. I provide relief for the common people. Everywhere I go, I'm called a hero."

"How am I embarrassing myself when I'm here with you? Mom, does my dad know what you're saying?"

When the other party heard that, she was speechless for a long time. Then, she said angrily, "You stinky girl, how can you talk to your mom? You're a hero. I think you're trying to be a hero--"

"Which little girl doesn't stay at home and have to go to that godforsaken place? When people ask me where my daughter works, I feel so ashamed."

"You're such an innocent little girl. What did I tell you at that time? Why did you have to study medicine? You spent all day with a group of men, taking off their clothes, and touching--"

Before she could finish, Zhao Yingying said with an ugly expression, "Mom, that's enough--"

When the other party heard this, she said with a cold face, "What? Did I say something wrong?"

"Tell me, when people hear about your profession, who would dare to marry you? Isn't it scary to have a scalpel every day?"

"I've been grooming you since you were young and put in a lot of effort. In the end, you didn't go to the department's arts and crafts team and insisted on becoming a doctor--"

"Also, what's the use of that Lu Yichen no matter how good he is? He's already married. Don't tell me you still want to be his second wife? You're not idle and embarrassed, but I am! If your father knew that, he would beat you to death."

"Hmph, it's been so many years, but you still haven't tied him down. You're really useless."

"Alright, I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you. Hurry up and come back. Your father has already told me to find you a partner. The date has already been set, so come back for the blind date."

"Let me tell you, the person I'm going to meet this time is really something ,@#%% ..."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yingying's entire body went limp. Then, she slowly closed her eyes, covered her face with both hands, and her shoulders kept twitching.

She didn't want to go home at all. A cold and stern father, and a vain mother, she couldn't wait to sell her as high as possible. All she cared about was the other party's family background, so how this person was not in the reference range at all.

She was merely a chess piece in her mother's hands. It could make her even more proud and allow her to show off her chips everywhere.

Originally, she could have been a filial daughter. She could have listened to her mother's arrangements and joined a literary troupe. She could have had a decent job and not have to work so hard every day. This was all planned out.

However, after meeting Lu Yichen, everything changed. She was not willing to live her life like her sister. She wanted to follow in Lu Yichen's footsteps and be closer to him. Therefore, she went to study medicine and became a surgeon.

When she thought about the girl who grew up dancing in primary school, she could not even bear to step on an ant on the ground. However, after she studied medicine, she had to face all kinds of difficulties. Other things were fine, but when she faced the corpses in the dissecting class, she simply did not spit out her bile. She had nightmares every night. Those painful days were still fresh in her memory.

She tried so hard to get close to Lu Yichen. She was not afraid of the ridicule of others, the ridicule of her mother and relatives, and the hardships. From a timid and shy little girl, she only needed to admire flowers, dance, and wear beautiful clothes every day. She had become a woman who was not afraid of being cut into pieces with a scalpel.

But why, why did Lu Yichen not look at her? Why? Why was all this?

Zhao Yingying cried bitterly. Why had her life turned into such a failure? Now, she had to be given away as a gift. She had to use her marriage to exchange for the bright future and glory that other people wanted. Why? Why?

She was not willing, not willing--

Zhao Yingying's eyes were red as she stared fiercely ahead, muttering softly.

"I, Zhao Yingying, have gone through a lot of hardships, but I still can't get him. Why should you be able to take over a bird's nest just by falling into the water? I've worked so hard for so many years, why should I lose? I'm not convinced, I'm not convinced--"

"We'll see--"

...

Kang Xiaoqiao naturally didn't know what Zhao Yingying had gone through. However, a woman with such a vicious mind deserved everything she had gone through.

Kang Xiaoqiao was cleaning up the mess in the house. After the typhoon last night, there were shards everywhere. The glass was broken, and so was the mirror. Fortunately, a small soldier came to help early in the morning. At this moment, the glass on the window was all fixed, but a big mirror was wasted.

Kang Xiaoqiao planned to buy another one. The rest were easy to deal with. She could also buy a broken kettle or something. The loss was not too heavy. However, a lot of her tools were broken, which made her very sad.

Kang Daqiao saw Kang Xiaoqiao looking at these things so sadly and sighed. "Little sister, these things, break it then. At most, I will buy some back. Don't be sad."

Kang Xiaoqiao said in a low mood while cleaning up, "These things, even if you have money, there is no place to buy them."

"It's all thanks to Lu Yichen that I got this from his good friend. Now that it's broken, where else can I get it?"

Kang Daqiao's eyes lit up when she heard that. "Little sister, go find brother-in-law and ask him to help you get another set."

"It just so happens that he hasn't had his lunch yet. I'll go make some side dishes and you can send them to him--"

Kang Xiaoqiao rolled her eyes at Kang Daqiao when she heard that. "If you want to go, go ahead. I'm not going."

Hmph, her ears were about to grow calluses. This good big sister of hers had been nagging at her ear for two to three hours. She really couldn't stand it.

When Kang Daqiao heard this, she immediately said earnestly, "Little sister, the husband and wife quarrel is already over. How can they continue to be angry?"

"You see, these things can not be bought outside. We can only ask brother-in-law for help. Then, why don't you be more attentive?"

"Look at the flowers on the kang. They are piled so high. If there is another rain, we won't be able to keep them. We have given away those eggs for nothing. How much will we lose?"

When Kang Xiaoqiao heard this, she frowned. As expected, she glanced at the pile of flower bags on the kang.

Kang Daqiao continued to work hard. She bit her lower lip and said, "Little sister, even if you don't look at these things, you have to look at big sister."

"Brother-in-law has agreed to let me divorce Wang Baogui. What if, what if, when he gets angry, he won't do it..."

Before she could finish, Kang Xiaoqiao immediately said resolutely, "That's impossible. If he speaks, he will definitely do it."

Kang Daqiao swallowed her saliva when she heard that and said, "That's true. But, you have provoked him into such a state. What if, what if..."
