Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 825: Chapter 925: Rubbing Salt into the Wound

She lowered her head to smell the bottle and dabbed some of the saline on her leg to taste it, then angrily turned away, ”Zhang Guifang! Have you gone too far? To actually pour saline on my wound.”

”Saline?” Li Zecheng’s angry gaze shot towards Zhang Guifang, he had thought she had learned her lesson.

”Saline? Impossible!” Zhang Guifang denied, ”This bottle is for alcohol, I never touched it. Oh, I remember now, I hurt my leg a while ago, and you were the one who bought this for me. But it was also you who disinfected it for me, I was wondering why it hurt so much! Turns out you were making mischief!”

”I... I could never do such a thing to you, sister-in-law,” Xin Ni’s face flushed with urgency, this woman had actually learned to bite back.

”That’s hard to say. What if you held a grudge against me for how I treated you before and secretly took your revenge?” Zhang Guifang cornered Xin Ni, leaving her speechless and unable to refute.

”Sister-in-law... Brother, I really didn’t, I really didn’t...” Xin Ni started crying again, tears are a woman’s weapon.

Especially effective against men!

”You didn’t, I didn’t, your brother didn’t. This is really strange,” Zhang Guifang said, looking at Xin Ni.

”Enough, stop being so aggressive,” Li Zecheng glared at Zhang Guifang, then turned to Xin Ni and said, ”No matter what you may think deep down, you can’t take revenge on your sister-in-law. I know things haven’t been easy for you, getting divorced and having to pay off your family’s debts, so I’ve always taken your side when you and your sister-in-law had conflicts. You’ve seen what your sister-in-law’s attitude is like; from now on, it’s most important that you two get along without causing trouble.”

Xin Ni was shocked, her lips trembling for a while before she finally said, ”Alright.”

”Come on, get up. I’ll take you to the infirmary,” Li Zecheng put out the cigarette butt in his hand and got up, going downstairs first.

Waiting for Li Zecheng’s figure to disappear, Xin Ni reverted to her true self and said to Zhang Guifang, ”Trying to trick me, huh? Just wait! I’ll make sure you have nowhere to cry in the end.”

Zhang Guifang looked at her, expressionless, and said, ”Fine. I’ll wait! I’ll make sure you constantly taste the pain of salt on a wound.”

”We’ll see about that,” Xin Ni left a parting shot and went downstairs.

Zhang Guifang slammed the door shut and burst into hearty laughter.

An Hao’s trick is really good!

Looks like, she’ll have to go back to An Hao for more tricks.

...........................

When An Hao went back to work, she told Cheng Yu that she had already called Cheng Yue.

After listening, Cheng Yu smiled faintly and thanked An Hao, after which she never mentioned the need to call the military again.

The medical team had been busy for a week, and the number of people had decreased.

Yan Ye let everyone take turns to rest for two days.

In the evening, just as An Hao stepped out of the door, she saw Cheng Yu asking a local for information, ”Excuse me, can you tell me where the town’s post office is? I want to send a telegram home.”

”Oh, you go out and turn left, walk for about two li, then turn right and you’ll be there.”

”Thank you!” Cheng Yu said thanks and turned to leave.

”Cheng Teacher!” An Hao called out to her, ”I’m so sorry for not calling you these past two days. I got so busy that I forgot.”

Cheng Yu smiled lightly, seemingly no longer as warm to her as usual, ”It’s okay. I can go to the post office to send a telegram! That way, I won’t bother you.”
