I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 221: Chapter 220: Confessing Feelings

Luo Xudong single-handedly knocked down eight brothers from the Ba Wang Zhang Family, immediately bringing the Zhang Family’s arrogance to a low. Now, everyone knows that Luo Xudong can fight!

The turnaround for Luo Er’s family makes most people envious. They originally had Doctor Bei, who was already leading the family towards prosperity and a better life. Now, their son, who had been dead for six years, has returned, gloriously triumphant, a future big shot, not only capable but also a fighter!

The Zhang Family really hit a wall this time. When Luo Xudong was not around, they were already being properly handled by someone’s daughter-in-law. Now that Luo Xudong is back, they have been directly subdued!

Zhang Lianqiao has now become the ’sinner’ of the Old Zhang Family. If it weren’t for her antics, would they have offended Luo Er’s family so many times?

This time she has truly offended Luo Er’s family and Doctor Bei deeply, along with the future leader!

Even Li Fengzhi is no longer helping Zhang Lianqiao. If it weren’t for her nonsense, would they have lost face so badly this time?

This time, the Old Zhang Family really lost face completely, not to mention they lost the last bit of their dignity. Who’s afraid of the Old Zhang Family now?

Before, at most Luo Er’s family wasn’t afraid of them, while the rest had some misgivings about them. This time, many people have united, and even if Luo Xudong and Beisitian are gone later, the Old Zhang Family won’t be able to regain their dominion!

Zhang Lianqiao is a true spoilt girl!

Even more so, Huo Laosan nearly didn’t want her after hearing about Zhang Lianqiao’s matters. Although aware that he was deliberately putting on airs, the Old Zhang Family wants to quickly marry this girl off so she won’t cause trouble for the family anymore!

So, Huo Laosan reduced the bride price twice in succession, cutting it down to three hundred, though still somewhat reluctant, fearing that even less would prompt the Old Zhang Family to back out in anger.

Huo Laosan originally found Zhang Lianqiao to be a rare young woman, and he intended to treat her well after marriage to prevent her from running away. To his dismay, she turned out to be promiscuous!

Even if she denies it, her eagerness to self-humiliate is truly disgusting, and Huo Laosan despises her character, yet is attracted to her youth and beauty.

Fortunately, Huo Laosan sees things clearly. As long as she’s married into the family, he can properly discipline her!

Zhang Lianqiao knew her father set her wedding date for twenty days later, which nearly shattered her spirit.

They intend to marry her off quickly!

In that instant, she contemplated suicide, but as she caressed the wall for a while, she hesitated to bump into it, fearful of the pain it would inflict!

Zhang Lianqiao wasn’t willing to die, and threatening them with death likely wouldn’t be effective. Perhaps she should run away!

Thinking of running away, Zhang Lianqiao’s eyes sparkled, right, becoming a maid in town would definitely work!

However, what Zhang Lianqiao could think of, others could too, starting with her three brothers. At such a pivotal moment, how could they allow her to run away?

If she ran away, the three hundred yuan bride price would have to be returned!

So, after word got out to her, the four brothers at home started guarding against her. Li Fengzhi wore a long face every day; after nurturing her daughter for nearly twenty years, she hoped to marry her off well, with glory and style, able to look after her family. Who knew she would send her off for just three hundred yuan!

Just the thought of it made Li Fengzhi feel like she had lost out terribly!

Nevertheless, after raising her daughter for nearly twenty years, she couldn’t turn off all feelings because of these things. It’s just that hearing Zhang Lianqiao’s constant crying and fussing every day made her annoyed, so she chose not to see it.

Peace has somewhat returned these past two days, but based on her understanding of her daughter, she’s probably planning to run.

Being a woman herself, she knows Huo Laosan’s character, and marrying over would be suffering. Therefore, although she guessed Zhang Lianqiao’s intent, she didn’t tell anyone. If she runs away, her future is up to fate. If not, then she’ll obediently marry over.

Li Fengzhi has completely let go of this matter.

Besides her family, intending to let her run, many in the village are also preventing her from escaping, at least voluntarily acting as informants for Doctor Bei.

This little girl is too vile, doing such outrageous things, she must be punished.

Huo Laosan now knows her character, and marrying her won’t bode well. Marrying a man is for clothing and food, a lifelong matter, just let Zhang Lianqiao live under Huo Laosan’s shadow forever.

A wicked girl like her deserves such punishment!

So, in just over ten days, Zhang Lianqiao attempted to run away three times. The first attempt was the closest to succeeding, nearly leaving the village but was spotted by a neighboring villager who was having a drink and immediately informed the Zhang Brothers, who caught her from the road embankment.

After the first time, the following two attempts weren’t as smooth, basically caught before reaching the end of the street.

After failing three times, it was time for the wedding. The night before, the bride’s side held a dinner, which she spent tied up in the west wing.

The next day, Zhang Lianqiao was forced to marry Huo Laosan, and the banquet was barely set up. Huo Laosan was reluctant to spend much. Marrying a young maid might have been worth spending more on, but marrying this wretched thing — better to save the money for liquor, perhaps?

Huo Laosan set up only a dozen tables, squeezing fifteen to twenty people per table. Many local neighbors didn’t get to eat much, quite stingy by village standards.

The once-fierce Old Zhang Family seemed blind to this, leaving before the banquet finished, with Zhang Guodong and Zhang Shunfu departing, leaving Zhang Shuncai and Zhang Shungui till the end.

After troubling herself for so long, Zhang Lianqiao ended up with such a fate. The despair she felt upon seeing the lice-infested Huo Laosan in his thirties — only she could tell.

The whole village was abuzz with the incident of the Ba Wang Zhang Family, but it had nothing to do with Luo Er’s family anymore.

Luo Xudong carried a light smile these days because he discovered a noticeable change in Beisitian. She was no longer so resistant to his advances, nor did she demand the cleaning of the west room.

Noticing Beisitian’s change, Luo Xudong contemplated and decided to express his feelings to her.

He had never spoken clearly before, fearing he would scare her away, knowing that although Beisitian felt somewhat positive towards him, it was limited.

Now seeing her no longer resistant, he thought of holding the banquet before leaving.

In the east wing, Luo Xudong saw Beisitian put down her pen and said, ”Sitiang, would you be willing to live with me at the military base?”

Beisitian was stunned and looked up at him.

Luo Xudong felt her gaze, with ears slightly red.

Though young men and women in some big cities were already quite open, he still couldn’t bring himself to say overly intimate words in a straightforward manner. Having said it, a slight sense of anxiety rose in his heart.
