Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 377: Chapter 377 Prejudice

Our family is good enough with just Lin Dong.

When Qiao Bing said this, Chu Yunxiu’s body stiffened, unable to hold back any longer.

”Little Bing, I told you to reduce contact with Lin Dong, but you just wouldn’t listen. Now you’ve even learned to brag like he does, huh? And not just that, you’re bragging to others about him. I really can’t understand you.”

”To say that Lin Dong alone is enough, enough my ass. What is he even worth? Just on account of his so-called medical arts?”

Qiao Bing replied, ”Mom, don’t look down on Lin Dong’s medical abilities, they’re actually quite good. Back when he was in the provincial city, he even...”

”Stop telling me those nonsense stories, and don’t you blow his trumpet for him! All this talk of his medical skills, boasting to the skies, can’t change the fact that he’s a high school grad and a barefoot doctor.”

”Never mind others, just take Zhou Ming next door that you looked down upon. He’s better than Lin Dong. He went overseas to study medicine and ended up practicing as a doctor there.”

”According to his mother, Wang Ling, he works only a few hours a day and earns an annual salary of several million.”

”Can Lin Dong even compare to that? Not even close!”

Chu Yunxiu’s face filled with contemptuous words, interrupting Qiao Bing.

Qiao Bing also felt helpless, her mother just looked down on Lin Dong, no matter what she said.

Some people are just like that, unwilling to acknowledge others’ excellence.

If they think someone is inadequate, no matter what that person achieves, they simply won’t acknowledge it.

And often, these are the people closest to you.

Like some parents, always thinking their children aren’t good enough. When the child does poorly in school as a kid, and then perhaps excels in other areas as an adult, like being an exceptional novelist, the parents would still say, ’He couldn’t even get into university, and now he wants to write novels?’

Fathers- and mothers-in-law, needless to say, there are even more of such people, always finding faults with their son-in-law.

Chu Yunxiu was evidently one of such people, though she certainly didn’t think her daughter wasn’t good enough. Rather, it was Lin Dong, this man who almost became her son-in-law, that she found inadequate.

”Bang bang bang～～”

At this moment, a series of footsteps sounded at the entrance of Qiao’s villa.

Then, a voice that was clearly feminine, but sounded like a drake’s, rang out.

”Yun Xiu, congratulations.”

The one who had entered was the mother of Zhou Na next door, the sharp-mouthed Aunt Wang Lingling.

Seeing her come in, Chu Yunxiu frowned slightly and said with a forced smile:

”Congratulations for what? What is there to congratulate in our family?”

Wang Ling shrugged and said, ”Congratulations for Qiao Bing, she’s found a ’great’ sharp-mouthed son-in-law for you.”

As soon as she said this, Chu Yunxiu couldn’t help but look at Qiao Bing.

”Little Bing, when did you start dating? Why don’t I know about this? What’s his background? What does he do for work? Where is he?”

Before Qiao Bing could reply, the gossipy Wang Ling burst into laughter:

”Yun Xiu, are you out of it? Isn’t he right in front of you?”

At these words, Chu Yunxiu was startled.

Her face turned green, white, and red, showing how ugly she felt inside.

”Qiao Bing, is this true? You actually chose Lin Dong, the man your sister rejected? Who else could you have chosen? In the past, so many men pursued you. Even Zhou Ming next door, the least of them all, would have been better than Lin Dong.”

Chu Yunxiu jumped up, calling out her daughter’s name in extreme anger.

”Yun Xiu, what do you mean Zhou Ming is the least of them? I don’t like the sound of that! What’s wrong with my Zhou Ming? Studying abroad, became a doctor overseas, making an annual salary of several million...” Wang Ling retorted, displeased.

Chu Yunxiu had no time to bother with her and instead turned to Qiao Bing and said:

”Qiao Bing, let me tell you, I will never agree to you being with Lin Dong. You want the man your sister rejected? You’re really something, aren’t you?”

”It makes sense why you were always speaking up for Lin Dong. It turns out you’ve taken a fancy to him?”

”Are you attracted to his looks? But should a man be judged only by his looks? Back in my day, I chose your father for his handsome face, but look at how badly I ended up because of him?”

”When choosing a man, you must look for one with substantial capital, with a good family background. Only then can you have a decent life in the second half of your life. Otherwise, your marriage will be as laughed at as mine.”

Chu Yunxiu got angrier as she spoke.

Probably recalling Qiao Renyi.

And her own unhappy marriage.

Seeing her mother react so strongly, Qiao Bing quickly said:

”Mom, Lin Dong is not just handsome; he has many strengths. Take his medical skills, for example, they’re countless times better than Zhou Ming’s, whom you so praise!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ling’s face grew even darker.

What do this mother and daughter mean? Aligning Zhou Ming with their argument, is my son so unworthy?

”Moreover, I have the final say in my choice of partner. I certainly won’t be influenced by you like my sister!” Qiao Bing continued.

Chu Yunxiu was livid. ”Qiao Bing, I am telling you. I will never agree to the two of you being together! Absolutely not!”

Qiao Bing got mad as well. ”Mom, why do you always look down on Lin Dong?”

”Because he’s not up to par! He has neither the family background nor the academic qualifications. Besides his good looks, he’s useless. If he had a prominent family like Ye Ruyu, or the ability to start a business from scratch like Shen Yun, would I look down on him?” Chu Yunxiu scoffed.

Qiao Bing’s chest heaved. ”Mom, I’m telling you, you’re wrong. In Lin Dong’s view, people like Ye Ruyu and Shen Yun mean nothing.”

”One day, you’ll realize just how absurd your prejudice against Lin Dong is!”

Having said that, she no longer wanted to stay at home, so she directly grabbed Lin Dong’s hand and headed outside.
