It was none other than Ma Xiaohui's neighbor, Mrs. Gao.
After Mrs. Gao entered the room, she did not even look at Tong Ling. She panted as she ran straight towards Ma Xiaohui." You brat, you're really something. You even abandoned your own mother and came here to talk nonsense. You're really embarrassing your mother," Mrs. Gao scolded Ma Xiaohui.
Ma Xiaohui was confused by Mrs. Gao's scolding. Didn't we talk about it at her house last night? Why did her expression change overnight? Ma Xiaohui thought to himself and asked Mrs. Gao," Auntie Gao, didn't I tell you yesterday that Mrs. Tong was sick and hospitalized? You clearly knew about this. Why are you saying that I'm talking nonsense now?"”Ma Xiaohui was obviously very dissatisfied with what Mrs. Gao said just now.
"Yeah, when you told me yesterday, I didn't know anything about your place. Now, I understand everything. You don't have to say anything and hurry home with me.”Mrs. Gao said as she pulled Ma Xiaohui.
At this moment, Ma Xiaohui realized that his mother must have said something to Mrs. Gao, which was why she came to the hospital in a huff.
"Aunt Gao, sit down and rest for a while.”Tong Ling said very politely to Mrs. Gao.
Who knew that after hearing Tong Ling's words, Mrs. Gao's anger grew even more intense. She shouted at Tong Ling," Why are you sitting? Look at you. You're such a cultured person. How can you be so scheming? I'm so embarrassed for you."
Sister-in-law Gao was actually pouting and talking about Tong Ling.
Hearing Mrs. Gao's words, Tong Ling's face turned red all the way to her ears. She lowered her head in shame and said nothing.
Seeing Mrs. Gao speak to Tong Ling like this, Ma Xiaohui angrily dragged Mrs. Gao out of Tong Ling's ward. "Alright, I'll go back with you now. "Ma Xiaohui held Mrs. Gao's hand and said as they walked. The reason why he was in such a hurry to pull Mrs. Gao away was because he was afraid that Mrs. Gao would say something unpleasant later and that she would hurt Tong Ling again.
When they arrived at the gate of Ma Xiaohui's house, Mrs. Gao entered the house first while Ma Xiaohui was parking his bicycle. When Ma Xiaohui entered the house, Mrs. Gao was whispering to Ma Xiaohui's mother. Seeing Ma Xiaohui come in, Mrs. Gao sat beside Ma Xiaohui's mother. "Mom, what are you doing?”Ma Xiaohui was so angry that his face turned green as he asked his mother. Hearing Ma Xiaohui's question, Ma Xiaohui's mother didn't say anything, but Mrs. Gao couldn't hold her temper and continued," We were just about to ask you, why are you asking us?" Mrs. Gao said to Ma Xiaohui.
"Auntie Gao, I know that you've been good to me, my mother, and our family all these years, but can you not get involved in this matter?”As Ma Xiaohui spoke, he knelt down in front of Mrs. Gao.
"Hey, look at you, child. You're just like a dog biting Lu Dongbin. Do you think I'm full? I pity your mother.”Mrs. Gao said angrily to Ma Xiaohui.
Looking at her son kneeling on the ground and listening to Mrs. Gao's words, Ma Xiaohui's mother did not say a word. She shed tears again.
Ma Xiaohui saw that his mother was crying again. He hurriedly got up and handed a towel to his mother.
"Mom, I've never begged you for anything since I was young. This time, I'm begging you. I beg you to help Tong Ling and I.”Ma Xiaohui knelt down in front of his mother after saying that.
" Xiaohui, I can agree to anything you want. I won't even say anything if you want my head. I will never agree to this unless I die," Ma Xiaohui's mother said as she wiped her tears.
"Yes, this matter can't be said no matter what. A student marrying a teacher, is this still reasonable?”Mrs. Gao added fuel to the fire as she spoke to Ma Xiaohui's mother.
"Alright then, since Mom has already said it out loud, let me tell you guys. From now on, I, Ma Xiaohui, will not marry anyone other than Tong Ling. Without Tong Ling, I would rather be single for the rest of my life.”After Ma Xiaohui finished speaking, he stood up and walked out without looking back.
Seeing that Ma Xiaohui had left, Mrs. Gao said to Ma Xiaohui's mother," Don't listen to him. He said it out of anger. He'll be fine in a few days."
Ma Xiaohui's mother knew her son's temper. He was a person who would not change his mind even if he had a fried dough twist.
Ma Xiaohui stormed out of the house and rushed back to the hospital.
When Tong Ling saw that Ma Xiaohui had returned, she asked him anxiously,"What's going on at home?"”"Ah, nothing. This Auntie Gao just likes to poke her nose into other people's business.”Ma Xiaohui answered Tong Ling as if nothing had happened.
"Our mom must have said something to her. Otherwise, why would she say something like that?”Tong Ling asked Ma Xiaohui.
"When these old ladies get together, they just chat idly. Otherwise, what would they talk about? If you want them to talk about national affairs, human geography, would they know how to talk about it? Don't you think so, haha?" Ma Xiaohui forced a smile and said to Tong Ling.
"That's true." Tong Ling said casually.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. Tong Ling's body had almost recovered. She had asked to be discharged several times, but the doctor had not approved. During the ward rounds this morning, Tong Ling requested to be discharged from the hospital. After seeing that Tong Ling's body was basically fine, the doctor agreed to let her be discharged.
After Tong Ling was done with the discharge procedures, she took the things she used in the hospital and took the bus back to her single dormitory.
After Ma Xiaohui got off work, he returned home and hurriedly made food for his mother. Then, he placed the dining table on the brick bed and told his mother to eat. However, he did not have time to eat before he rushed to the hospital.
On the way, Ma Xiaohui stopped his bicycle and bought three catties of big red apples. After paying, he rushed to the hospital with the apples.
Ma Xiaohui excitedly walked into Tong Ling's ward with a net bag of apples, but the person lying on the bed asked him angrily," Who are you looking for?”Ma Xiaohui and Ding Qing saw that it was a woman in her fifties. He asked the woman," Aunt, where are the people in this ward?”Who knew that when Ma Xiaohui asked this, the woman became even angrier. She glared at Ma Xiaohui and said," Am I not human?”" Pfft!" Ma Xiaohui was amused by the woman's words. He hurriedly explained," Aunt, I'm sorry. I spoke wrongly. My wife is hospitalized in this ward, so I asked this."”"Oh, I don't know about that. I only came in in the afternoon. You can ask the doctor.”the woman said to Ma Xiaohui.
After Ma Xiaohui heard the woman's words, he went to the on-call room of the Inpatient Department. After he asked the doctor, he found out that Tong Ling had been discharged.
Ma Xiaohui knew that Tong Ling had been discharged from the hospital, so he hurriedly rode his bicycle and rushed to Tong Ling's single dormitory.
Tong Ling returned to the dormitory. She hadn't been back for more than half a month, and the room was covered in a layer of dust. Ma Xiaohui had already cleaned up the window that Ma Xiaohui had broken. However, he was in a hurry to go back to the hospital to take care of Tong Ling, so he had not had time to clean up the broken glass on the table. Therefore, the moment Tong Ling came back, she started to clean up the broken glass. After cleaning for a long time, she saw that the table was clean, so she went to clean the room again. Then, she washed the things that she had brought back from the hospital one by one.
Tong Ling had been busy for half a day. Just as she sat down and wanted to take a break, Big Sis Sun from the canteen suddenly walked in. "Mrs. Tong, I heard that you're back, so I came to see you.”Big Sis Sun said to Tong Ling.
"Sister Sun, sit down, sit down." Tong Ling said to Big Sis Sun as she hurriedly gave her a seat.
"I just heard from the guard yesterday that you were hospitalized, but I don't know which hospital you're in. How is it?”Big Sis Sun asked Tong Ling.
"I'm fine. Thank you, Sister Sun.”Tong Ling said.
" Aren't you being too polite? There's no need to thank me," Big Sister Sun said.
Tong Ling was chatting with Big Sis Sun when the door suddenly opened. Ma Xiaohui walked in with a net of apples in his hand.
"Look at you. Why didn't you tell me that you were discharged?”Ma Xiaohui complained to Tong Ling the moment he entered.
" Hehe, it's fine. Look at me, I'm back alone," Tong Ling said with a smile." Oh, Xiaohui, let me introduce you. This is Big Sis Sun from our canteen."”Tong Ling continued to introduce them to Ma Xiaohui.
"Hello, Big Sister Sun!" Ma Xiaohui asked Big Sis Sun politely.
"Hello, hello. You're a good young man. I say, Mrs. Tong, you really have good taste.”Big Sis Sun said with a smile as she sized up Ma Xiaohui.
Ma Xiaohui was embarrassed by Sister Sun's stare. He hurriedly took the fruit plate on the table and walked out with the apple.
Big Sister Sun saw that Ma Xiaohui made her feel embarrassed, so she smiled and said to Tong Ling," I should go back and get busy. You just got discharged from the hospital, so don't do so much work at once. Alright, I'll see you another day. I'm leaving."”Big Sis Sun said and went back to the canteen.
Ma Xiaohui washed the apples and came back with a fruit plate. He entered the house and saw that Big Sister Sun had already left. He smiled and said to Tong Ling," Your Big Sister Sun is quite interesting."”"Hehe, you're so sharp-tongued. Why did you scare her away?”
"Isn't this the first time we've met? Besides, she's the eldest sister. It would be great if she was the younger sister. Hahaha." Ma Xiaohui said with a smile.
"Look at how beautiful you are. It's a pity that you won't have a sister-in-law in this life.”Tong Ling said to Ma Xiaohui with a smile.
Tong Ling and Ma Xiaohui were chatting and laughing in the room when suddenly, someone knocked on the door of the dormitory. Hearing the knocking sound, Tong Ling and Ma Xiaohui were both stunned. Who could it be?
