When Xu Weiguo and Fang Hui arrived at Xujia Village with their men, it was already dark.
"Let's go to the village chief's house first, rest for a while, and have something to eat."
"Just ask around, does the village chief have any news about Lin Chunyan and the others?"
"Alright, then lead the way."
Fang Hui also felt that they needed to eat something first.
Whether Lin Chunyan returned to Xujia Village or not, they probably won't be going back to the city tonight.
Knock knock knock
Village Chief Xu had just finished eating when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. He was a little puzzled; who could be looking for him at this hour?
When the village chief opened the door and saw Xu Weiguo standing at his door with a group of people, he was startled.
"Weiguo, why are you back in the village so late?"
Looking at Xu Weiguo and the people behind him, Village Chief Xu asked hesitantly, "What's going on here?"
At the same time, I felt a little scared: Could it be that someone in their village has committed a crime?
"It's a long story. Village chief, would it be convenient for us to come in and sit down to talk?"
"Oh, oh, that's convenient, please come in."
When Village Chief Xu opened the door, his wife quickly moved the food from the dining table back to the kitchen to make room for them.
Because there were quite a few people, some had to stand because there weren't enough chairs.
The village chief's wife hurriedly ran back to the storeroom and brought out the long benches that were usually used for banquets for them to sit on.
"Thank you, Auntie, you've gone to so much trouble."
Xu Weiguo knew that it was so late, and that so many of them coming to the village chief's house was really a disturbance.
"Auntie, we haven't had dinner yet. Could you please cook something for us?"
"Anything you cook is fine, thank you."
As he spoke, Xu Weiguo handed two yuan to the village chief's wife.
"No! No!"
When the village chief's wife saw that Xu Weiguo was going to give her money, she waved her hands repeatedly to refuse and took a few steps back.
"It's just cooking some food, why would I need to pay?"
"Auntie will cook for you right away, please wait a moment."
After saying that, she immediately turned around and went to the kitchen.
Left with no other choice, Xu Weiguo could only hand the money to the village chief.
Before the village chief could refuse, Xu Weiguo interjected, "Village chief, don't be in such a hurry to refuse."
"There are so many of us, we can't just not pay."
"Everyone's grain is precious. If you don't accept it, how can we bear to eat it?"
"If we go to a state-run restaurant, two yuan is only enough for two or three people at most."
"If you really think about it, we actually benefited."
Since Xu Weiguo had already put it this way, Village Chief Xu couldn't refuse any longer.
However, after accepting the money, he made an excuse to go to the toilet and asked his wife to boil all the eggs in the house.
"Village chief, I want to ask you, have you seen Xu Weimin's wife and Xu Daya these past two days?"
When Village Chief Xu heard this question, his expression became slightly unnatural for a moment.
Although he quickly recovered, Xu Weiguo still noticed.
Village Chief Xu was unsure whether he should tell Xu Weiguo that Lin Chunyan had returned to the village.
Just like not long ago, he chose to hide Xu Weiguo's whereabouts from Lin Chunyan.
Unless there are special circumstances, Village Chief Xu does not want to inform Xu Weiguo of Lin Chunyan's whereabouts.
Because he didn't want to get involved in Xu Weiguo and Lin Chunyan's affairs.
"Um, is there something you need from Weimin's wife?"
Just to be on the safe side, Village Chief Xu decided to ask Xu Weiguo why he wanted to see Lin Chunyan.
Then decide whether or not to tell.
If one hadn't noticed the brief change in Village Chief Xu's expression just now...
Xu Weiguo probably wouldn't tell him why they were looking for Lin Chunyan.
But things are different now. Xu Weiguo is certain that Village Chief Xu must have met Lin Chunyan.
So he truthfully said, "Xu Weimin's wife is involved in a child trafficking case in the city."
"The arrested suspects confessed that they were also involved, so we arrested them."
"No, that can't be, right?"
"If you don't believe me, you can ask the man next to me. He is the director of the Revolutionary Committee."
Xu Weiguo pointed at Fang Hui, indicating that Village Chief Xu could ask him.
Upon hearing that Fang Hui was the director of the Revolutionary Committee, Village Chief Xu dared not ask any more questions.
He swallowed hard and silently moved the stool a little further away.
"No need to ask, I definitely believe you, hehehe."
Village Chief Xu quickly relayed the information he knew.
"I saw them at their doorstep around 10 a.m. this morning."
"But they left quickly, and then they went to see the barefoot doctor."
"Then, just over an hour ago, someone saw them going up the mountain."
Have you gone up the mountain?
Xu Weiguo and Fang Hui exchanged a glance, a knowing look flashing in their eyes.
If they remember correctly, Xu Weimin had previously collaborated with Shanmin and Scarface.
Now that they knew where Lin Chunyan and the others had gone, Xu Weiguo and the others were no longer in such a hurry.
There's no use in being anxious. The mountain people have been hiding in the mountains for so long, they must know the terrain inside the mountains very well.
If they rush in rashly, they will definitely not gain anything.
So they need to think carefully about how to get the mountain people to voluntarily drive Lin Chunyan and her group out.
......
Since Wang Laidi's husband passed away, the ward has become much quieter.
Huang Qinqin felt sorry for Wang Laidi, who had been hungry from noon until night.
Despite her sympathy, Huang Qinqin wouldn't give her anything to eat.
It wasn't that she was reluctant to part with the food.
Rather, Wang Laidi was simply not worth her help.
Huang Qinqin felt indignant when she recalled how Wang Laidi had called her a "money-loser" repeatedly that afternoon.
Why would someone who is clearly a woman say their daughter is a money-losing burden?!
Moreover, it's unclear whether Wang Laidi lacks milk or genuinely doesn't care about her child.
Her child had cried several times, but Wang Laidi hadn't even held her or comforted her.
They just let the child cry, until the hospital nurses couldn't stand it anymore.
I borrowed some milk powder from Huang Qinqin and fed it to the child, and then the child stopped crying.
Huang Qinqin felt that if the nurses didn't intervene, Wang Laidi might really let her cry and go hungry.
Before going to bed, Huang Qinqin said somewhat dejectedly, "I really don't want to stay in the hospital any longer."
"I feel like I'll become depressed if I stay in the same hospital room as their family any longer."
Xu Junhui fetched hot water and used it to wipe Huang Qinqin's face.
He leaned close to Huang Qinqin's ear and said with a smile, "No, I guarantee she'll be discharged tomorrow."
"Even if they don't leave the hospital, their family definitely won't cause any more trouble."
Huang Qinqin raised an eyebrow: "From what you're saying, what did you do?"
