Chapter 896 Don’t be ungrateful!
For a time, the news spread quickly.
Many people in restaurants in the city discussed this matter as an interesting thing after dinner.
Of course, the military camp of Hailan Army also heard about it.
On this day, in the wounded barracks, several women from the fishing village who were hired to do laundry were chatting and gossiping while beating their clothes by the well.
A fat woman looked around, winked and said to everyone: "Why don't you see Miss Coral? At this time, shouldn't she be changing the dressings for the wounded soldiers?"
A young daughter-in-law replied: "Just now when I went into the tent to get some clothes, I heard a few words, as if Miss Coral had caught a cold and was not feeling well.
“The military doctor asked her to rest for two days, and I’m afraid she won’t be able to come out of her small tent right now.”
The fat lady looked very understanding, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Girl Coral is too shy to come out to meet people!"
"What do you say?" Someone asked immediately, "Who is interested in Coral Girl and wants to marry her?"
“Shouldn’t it be possible?” Another person was also surprised: “Girl Coral is a good girl, everyone knows this, but her life is too miserable.
“And the old people said there was something wrong with her horoscope, so who would dare to marry her and go home.
“If anything happens, it will be too late to regret.”
An older woman who saw that she was usually close to Hualu couldn't bear to hear this, "I don't know if Miss Hualu is seriously ill. I want to see her soon."
“It’s so pitiful that a person is sick and has no relatives around him to take care of him.
"Let's not talk about anything else. Even if Lord Chengxian Wei is in love, we should take more care of Miss Hualou."
Everyone looked embarrassed when they heard this.
Girl Coral's father's surname is Hong. He has been a county captain for more than ten years. He has never been corrupt and has an excellent reputation. He does his duty to protect the people.
Otherwise, the thieves will not be resentful and then destroy the whole family.
A woman also felt guilty and said, “I brought two kilograms of rice with me, which I wanted to deliver to my parents’ house after work.
“Why don’t you borrow a jar later and cook some porridge for the coral girl? You don’t have a good appetite when it’s cold, so it’s best to eat some porridge with pickles.”
The fat woman was afraid that everyone would think she was ungrateful, so she also said: "I didn't mean to laugh at Coral Girl just now, I was really worried for her.
“Some people in the city said that someone came to General Li’s house for General Li’s marriage.
“Although Miss Coral had nothing to do with General Li before, it was not easy to talk about it or not, and it would not be easy to marry again.
“Should we advise Miss Coral and ask her to quickly ask someone to check out the Li family? It’s better to be a second wife than to hang out in the wounded barracks.
“I heard that the Li family has a good reputation in Xindu and has a great business. General Li will marry his first wife from now on.
“Isn’t it a good thing that the principal wife stays in Xindu to honor the elders? Miss Huanhu can just stay here to guard General Li and be the master of the family!”
When all the women heard what she said, their work stopped.
Even the older woman couldn’t help but praise, “What you said makes sense!”
The fat lady got the affirmation and became more energetic, "It makes sense, I hope Coral Girl will do well!"
Everyone laughed, and the elderly lady greeted: "Let's work harder. After we're done, we'll go see Coral Girl and ask her what her plans are."
“Okay, I have three more items and they will be washed soon.”
“I’m almost there too.”
The women responded one after another, and soon after washing, they pulled off their clothes, gathered their hair, and went into the camp.
Girl Coral didn't get married. After her family was destroyed by thieves, they burned everything down.
Her relatives believed the rumors and refused to take her in because they were afraid of her identity.
So, after she was rescued, she stayed here after the wounded soldiers were nourished and healed. He lives in a small tent next to the military doctor's tent and helps the military doctor change dressings for wounded soldiers.
At this moment, the women walked over together. Just as they were about to shout into the tent, they saw a group of people coming from a distance.
Seven or eight soldiers surrounded two servant girls and two middle-aged women.
One of the women wore a silver-red dark floral cardigan with a horse-faced skirt. Her hair was neatly combed, with a gilded jasper hairpin inlaid with beads inserted sideways.
As he raised his hand, the twisted gold bracelet on his wrist was revealed.
His brows and eyes are looking forward, showing a bit of sharpness and shrewdness.
The other woman wore a lotus blue plain slanted shirt with a moon white skirt, a double-snail bun, and a beeswax wreath with flowers on her forehead.
A pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets on her wrists made her whole person gentle and soft, and there was a bit of bookishness between her brows and eyes.
Where did this noble man come from? !
A group of women who planned to visit the coral immediately took a few steps back and cautiously stopped where they were.
Fatty couldn't hold back his excitement. He poked the elderly woman and said excitedly: "It's General Li, and the one accompanying him is General Li!"
Of course the older woman saw it and guessed that these two ladies were from the Li family.
But she couldn't say anything at the moment. She could only hold the fat woman's hand to prevent her from ruining the good thing.
They guessed right. It was Tao Hongying and Mrs. Wen who came.
The Li family doesn’t know what Miss Coral is thinking, so it’s not good for Mrs. Li to come directly.
So, Tao Hongying and Mrs. Wen volunteered to take the lead.
Perhaps Mrs. Tang had greeted General Tang. They took the car to the gate of the camp and were greeted by Jiayi. They had an unimpeded journey to the wounded barracks.
Seeing the fat woman standing next to the tent, Tao Hongying and Mrs. Wen both smiled and nodded to them.
The fat lady was so excited that she quickly saluted.
Tao Hongying raised her hand and said first: "We are from the Li family in the city and want to visit Miss Huanhuan.
"But it would be rude to go in hastily. I wonder which sister-in-law can help me?"
The older woman grabbed the fat woman who was about to run out, and said quickly: "Madam, wait a moment, the little woman will go in and talk to the coral girl."
"Thank you very much!" Tao Hongying thanked her, and then dismissed Jiayi, "Just go and do whatever you need to do. We saw Miss Coral and went home directly."
“Okay, Fourth Aunt.” Jiayi was also a little shy, so she quickly responded and retreated with her soldiers.
But he couldn't go far, so he just wandered around a few tents in the injured camp, where his soldiers were also recovering from their injuries.
Soon, the older woman came out of the small tent, followed by a tall and thin young girl.
The girl's appearance is more heroic, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose and red lips, which is really good.
Unfortunately, her figure was too thin and her face was a little pale, which slightly made her lose some of her energy.
Perhaps she didn't expect that the Li family would come over. She was a little panicked and wanted to speak, but she coughed lightly.
Tao Hongying quickly smiled and said, "Is it Miss Coral? Why are you coughing? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
The older woman was worried and couldn't help but help and said: "Reply to this noble lady, Miss Coral caught wind and cold yesterday. It's not serious. She can rest for two days and she will be fine."
Tao Hongying nodded and comforted: "Although wind-cold is a minor illness, it is also very torturous.
"Why don't we go in with the girl and sit there, and the girl will blow less of the sea breeze."
Girl Coral hurriedly turned around and lifted up the tent curtain. Tao Hongying winked at Xia Qing behind her, and then walked in with Mrs. Wen...
