Chapter 78 Brother and Sister Quarrel
"Taken away? Who allowed anyone to take him away? He was so seriously injured, how could he be taken away? What if he gets injured again?" Ling Zhuolin became even more panicked.
"Are you... a relative of that man?" Looking at Ling Zhuolin's anxious look, the person on the other side asked puzzledly.
"I... I am Ling Zhuoqun's sister, and the sister-in-law of the injured man just now." Ling Zhuolin then realized that the people in the infirmary did not know her.
"Oh, it turns out to be Brother Ling's sister. The man was taken to the hospital by Brother Ling. Don't worry, it's nothing serious. Just a little scalp break. I have already treated it. It's not a big problem." The medical staff comforted Ling Zhuolin.
But Ling Zhuolin couldn't believe it now and could only feel at ease after seeing Gao Yuliang with her own eyes.
"Is it a hospital in the city?" Ling Zhuolin continued to ask.
"Aren't there only two hospitals in our county? I don't know which one it is." The medical staff continued.
"I won't leave. You two are taking me to the hospital. You have bad intentions." Gao Yuliang's voice came from outside. Ling Zhuolin, who was originally discouraged, suddenly became excited.
When I rushed out of the door, I saw Gao Yuliang, with a big white ball on his head, holding the handlebars of the tricycle tightly, and his floral shirt was also worn out.
"Yuliang!" Ling Zhuolin said.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you are finally here. It was him. It was him who hurt me!" Gao Yuliang pointed at Ling Zhuoqun and said vigilantly.
Ling Zhuoqun crossed his arms over his chest and said, "Gao Yuliang, you have to be conscientious."
"Conscience? Pah! Do you still have a conscience?" Gao Yuliang spat out, "I have worked diligently in your farm for two or three years, in the wind and rain during these two or three years."
"When have I ever complained? Now you want to fire me just because you want to get married?" Gao Yuliang's eyes were red as he accused Ling Zhuoqun.
"Oh? Even if you have no credit, you have worked hard? Who smashed the sign of our breeding farm and paid three thousand yuan in compensation? And who pocketed more than five hundred yuan after paying the bill?" Ling Zhuoqun remained neither humble nor arrogant and confronted Gao Yuliang.
Gao Yuliang's eyes dodged for a moment. It was indeed he who did not tie the pig tightly, allowing it to run away. As for the 500 yuan, he took it privately because he wanted to pick up girls, and did not report it.
Ling Zhuoqun never pursued these matters, but only mentioned them in front of him. After he admitted his mistakes, Ling Zhuoqun saw that he was sincere in his attitude of admitting his mistakes and did not blame him.
"You're spreading rumors about your sister-in-law this time? Do you really need to be charged with hooliganism before you can feel at ease?" Ling Zhuoqun emphasized the word "hooliganism".
Gao Yuliang was even more flustered now. He touched his head and started shouting, "Ouch, my head hurts. This is a work-related injury. I got hurt at our farm. You have to pay me, or I won't leave!"
"We said we would take you to the hospital. Do you think the problem can be solved by just wasting time here?" Li Luo said indignantly.
"Sister-in-law, you can't say that." Seeing Li Luo, Gao Yuliang was still harboring evil intentions and kept glancing back and forth at Li Luo.
Ling Zhuoqun grabbed Gao Yuliang by the collar, frightening him so much that he pretended to faint again: "Ouch, my head hurts, my head hurts."
"Brother, don't bully Yuliang like this. No matter what, Yuliang has indeed contributed a lot to the breeding farm. Although he made some minor mistakes, he corrected them later. What was the reason that made your brother use violence against Yuliang this time?" Ling Zhuolin held Ling Zhuoqun's hand, trying to make Ling Zhuoqun let go.
Ling Zhuoqun's eyes flashed with hurt: "Why don't you ask him what he did? And any worker can testify that he fell down by himself."
However, after Ling Zhuolin looked at Li Luo beside her brother, she still said firmly: "I believe Yuliang. Yuliang is my brother-in-law. He is usually very gentle to others. How could he do something out of line?"
"And, like Yuliang said, even though it wasn't brother who pushed him, he was injured in brother's factory. Brother should at least take him to the hospital for a check-up." Ling Zhuolin protected Gao Yuliang like a hen protecting her chicks.
"He hasn't stopped spreading rumors about your sister-in-law! He needs to go to the hospital, and I'll go with him. If there are any sequelae, I'll treat them. Let's go, let's go now." Ling Zhuoqun didn't want to waste any more time. He just wanted to get rid of the two annoying people in front of him.
"Brother, what you said is wrong. What do you mean by spreading rumors? I see my sister-in-law wears brightly coloured clothes every day, which is really ostentatious. It takes two to tango. Maybe it is really my sister-in-law who seduces Yuliang."
"Pa!" A crisp slap sound was heard, Li Luo was stunned, and Ling Zhuolin was also stunned.
"Ling Zhuolin, you are also a woman. You dress beautifully, is it to seduce men? What kind of clothes a woman wears is entirely to please herself. What does it have to do with men?" Ling Zhuoqun was so angry that his hands were shaking.
Half of Ling Zhuolin's face was swollen, and her eyes were full of disbelief. This was her brother who had protected her since she was a child, but for another woman, he had not only embarrassed her before, but now he was beating her...
"Ling Zhuoqun, are you still a man?" Ling Zhuolin had obviously lost his mind and no longer cared about the occasion.
He reached out to grab Li Luo's hair, but was blocked by Ling Zhuoqun.
"It's all because of this woman. She's such a troublemaker and has made our family restless. We really shouldn't have been allowed into our house. Not only has the Ling family been implicated, but even the Gao family is having a hard time!"
"Wow, wow, wow..." Immediately followed by Ling Zhuolin's sobbing voice.
"Sister-in-law, what you said is wrong. What do you mean by a troublemaker? Is it a sin just because I am pretty and the clothes I wear are nice? Is it a crime for a man to be innocent but to possess a treasure?"
"My sister-in-law is also beautiful. If you are accused every day of seducing men and marrying into the Gao family for money and vanity, how would you feel?" Li Luo sneered.
Hearing these words, Ling Zhuolin's crying voice gradually became weaker: "Who... who is vain? I am not that kind of woman."
"But the reality is that once people think you have a stain, no matter how you prove your innocence, there will still be people who think it's all just a disguise."
"So I'm just being myself. No matter what others say about me, I'm innocent. I've never done anything like it, so why should I be afraid of what others say?" Li Luo straightened his back, his eyes were sharp, he looked at Ling Zhuoqun and said confidently.
Now it was Ling Zhuolin's turn to lose her composure. What Li Luo said made her feel guilty. After all, ever since she moved to the city, she had called herself a city dweller. She even changed her household registration to an urban one as soon as possible. She didn't want to have to guard that one acre of land for the rest of her life.
