Once a seed of doubt is planted in someone’s heart, even the best of relationships will develop cracks: "Shuzhen, you’re not young anymore, it’s not good for me to have to accompany you in everything."
Lian Shuzhen always felt her aunt was acting strange: "Or should I call Uncle to see if he has time, let him accompany me for a trip, Uncle’s workplace has a car, and time is sufficient, this way I won’t have to take leave."
Bai Yutong was already suspicious, and Lian Shuzhen’s words were like stabbing a knife into her heart: "No, your uncle is very busy lately, he doesn’t have time to accompany you to the city."
Afraid she would make more demands: "If you want to seek treatment, just take a bus to the city by yourself, I’ll find someone to write you a note later. If you don’t want to go, then go back to the village, maybe you’ll get better in a few days."
Lian Shuzhen was dumbfounded, what’s going on, she’s sick, and how is her aunt behaving like this: "Auntie, you, I, I came to the countryside here, my parents were counting on you to look after me, and now that I’m unwell, you’re telling me to go to the city alone?"
Bai Yutong was momentarily speechless, yet she thought about her niece having the same illness as her husband, and that female doctor even said it could be due to unclean living habits, possibly infectious, how could she treat her niece kindly?
She calmed her emotions a bit: "Shuzhen, I’m really tied up these days, how about I accompany you to the city in a few days, you go back to the village today.
After all, as you said earlier, if you go to the city, you might not return the same day, and you don’t have an introduction letter to go to the city, it will be a hassle, don’t you think?"
Lian Shuzhen had a conflicted expression on her face: "But if I just go back like this, those fellow zest youth roommates of mine will definitely say unpleasant things."
Bai Yutong had lost her patience by now: "Shuzhen, you’ll have to endure it a bit, after all, Auntie has important matters to attend to these days, it wouldn’t be good to back out on a date set with the girl’s side, right?"
Seeing her aunt was determined to handle her own affairs first, Lian Shuzhen could only compromise: "Alright then."
Feeling unhappy, she naturally didn’t follow her aunt back, but headed directly to the ox cart going back to the village.
