"What's wrong with him?" Mr. Cheng was shocked.
Song Yun said, "He was too emotional, which was not conducive to his recovery. I gave him an injection, which allowed him to sleep for a few hours."
Elder Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good." He turned to look at the elder beside him and said, "Old Yuan, what happened to Old Gu? What did he want to say just now?"
Yuan Lao already knew that the two old friends were coming to take them back to Beijing. He was very excited. After so many years, he finally made it. He was wiping away tears when he heard Cheng Lao's question and hurriedly said, "He probably wants you to pick up his daughter."
Mr. Cheng recalled that seven years ago, when Mr. Gu was sent down to the countryside, his youngest daughter was only fifteen years old. She refused to stay in Beijing and live a dependent life, and came here to suffer with Mr. Gu regardless of anything else.
"I remember Mr. Gu's youngest daughter, Gu Yuting. She is about 20 years old now. What happened to her? Is she not here?" asked Mr. Qu on the side.
The elder sighed, "Yuting married a village idiot in order to borrow money for Elder Gu's medical treatment. She's not living well, and this is a source of worry for Elder Gu."
Cheng Lao's face grew serious. He said to Song Yun, "Could you please, Captain Song, take someone to pick up Yuting?"
Song Yun nodded, "No problem." Then she said to Dr. Fei, "Mr. Gu can be moved now. Please be careful and move him to the bed first."
Dr. Fei nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Song Yun took Gu Xinghua and Liao Fuqiang to the village to pick up people, and the rest of the people stayed at the cowshed.
People in the village were also discussing Gu Yuting's story. Some people envied the Wang family for being so lucky to have the daughter of a Peking University professor as their daughter-in-law, thus marrying into a good family.
Some people are not optimistic about this, thinking that Professor Gu would never let his daughter stay in the Wang family to serve a fool for the rest of her life, and that this marriage is likely to fail.
Some people also gave the Wang family an idea, asking them to take Gu Yuting to get the certificate as soon as possible, otherwise the cooked duck would probably fly away.
The Wang family was also anxious, but it was already dark and they had no way to get evidence. Moreover, Gu Yuting was injured and couldn't get out of bed. If Professor Gu sent someone to look for Gu Yuting, they wouldn't know how to explain.
What you fear will come true.
The Wang family was discussing sending Gu Yuting to the neighboring Daqiao Village overnight, claiming she had gone to visit relatives and hadn't returned, and delaying their detention. But before they could come to a conclusion, the captain arrived at their home with three officers.
"Old Wang, this is an officer from Beijing. He's here to take Gu Yuting to the cowshed to see her father. Hurry and call Comrade Gu Yuting out."
Old Man Wang was so frightened that his hand trembled and the pipe in his hand fell to the ground. The others also looked uneasy. No one moved to call Gu Yuting. Only one fool was in the yard, smashing things with a stick, muttering, "Kill the bitch, kill the bitch!"
Song Yun frowned, feeling a bad premonition.
Seeing that the family didn't move, the captain also frowned and said, "What are you standing there for? Go call for help."
Old Man Wang glared at Old Lady Wang and said in a low voice, "You caused this trouble, go and tell us."
Old Lady Wang was pushed to the front by Old Man Wang, and could only bite the bullet and speak, "Well, Yuting, she accidentally fell and got hurt. She's lying in the room. Why don't we let her go to the cowshed when she's better?"
