Shen Conghe didn't know when she would be exonerated. With a husband like him who had a bad family background, Tao Susu and her son Shen Ting would definitely be affected as long as her father was alive.
Tao Susu was alright; she was an adult and could tolerate the gossip, but Shen Ting couldn't.
He is still young, and school is about to start. If someone at school causes trouble for him because of his father's political background, it will have a huge impact on Shen Ting.
The only solution now is for Tao Susu to divorce him.
Tao Susu is from Beijing. She can write a letter to her father-in-law, who will then help her get a divorce and obtain a letter of introduction to take her child back to Beijing, away from Zhongmo Town.
Jiang Ci said with mixed feelings, "I will pass on your words."
Shen Conghe pursed her lips and said dryly, "Thank you."
Jiang Ci recalled the day Tao Susu went to the union and was pushed out and fell to the ground. She also recalled how Tao Susu cautiously and diligently approached her after learning that she was the one delivering food to the cowshed.
She relayed her message to Tao Susu, but Tao Susu might not necessarily agree to the divorce.
Shen Conghe was thinking of Tao Susu and her son, while Tao Susu...
She remained devoted to Shen Conghe as well.
Jiang Ci's eyelashes drooped slightly, her fingers twitched slightly, and her tone remained calm, "Principal Chen, have you ever seen how beautiful the light is after a rainstorm?"
Shen Conghe paused slightly and looked out the window.
The heavy rain continued.
Before leaving, Jiang Ci said one last thing to Shen Conghe, "Principal Shen, just wait."
The heavy rain will eventually stop.
Dawn will always come.
...
On rainy days, the dirt roads in the countryside are really difficult to ride; they're all crooked and muddy.
The bicycle wheels were covered in mud and water, and it took Zhou Mingli a lot of effort to ride the bicycle to Zhou Gou's house.
He banged on the door, "Brother Er Gou!"
Zhou Gou was talking to his daughter. Wang Zhaodi had been increasingly afraid to provoke Zhou Gou lately. She sat alone in the kitchen, her face gloomy, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
Zhou Gou had very sensitive hearing. Upon hearing the noise, he immediately got up, opened his umbrella, and went to the door.
"Second brother? What brings you here? Come in quickly!"
Without exchanging pleasantries, Zhou Mingli propped himself up on his bicycle with one foot and said, "Old Mr. Cheng Yehan has a fever. I'm going to find Dr. Niu to take him to the cowshed. Do you want to come and see him?"
Zhou Gou raised his voice in shock, "What?!"
"I'll go! Wait for me! I'll ride my bike and come with you!"
After saying that, Zhou Gou immediately turned around and went home.
As expected of a soldier, Zhou Gou packed up very quickly, putting on his raincoat in no time. He then shouted to Zhou Huai, "Daughter! I'm going out for a bit. You stay home and behave yourself!"
Zhou Huai, dressed in a brand-new cotton outfit, stood at the door, his eyes sparkling with new life. Watching Zhou Gou ride away on his bicycle, he called out, "Good!"
After Zhou Gou left, Zhou Huai turned her head and met Wang Zhaodi's dark gaze. All the color drained from her face, and her back slumped down instinctively.
...
On the way to the medical station, Zhou Mingli briefly explained the situation to Zhou Gou. Zhou Gou frowned and decided to pretend to be someone who worked at the medical station and go with Dr. Niu.
Although Dr. Niu didn't quite understand why Zhou Gou was so insistent on going to the cowshed, Zhou Gou had helped him before, so Dr. Niu didn't express any objection to Zhou Gou's idea.
The three people and two bicycles quickly arrived at the cowshed despite the relentless downpour.
Jiang Ci had already boiled water and placed it aside. There was no medical alcohol here, so she couldn't help Cheng Yehan wipe his armpits. She could only wait with Liu San.
When Jiang Ci heard someone calling her from outside, she knew that Zhou Mingli had brought his men over.
“My husband is here, I’ll go see him,” Jiang Ci said to Liu San immediately, standing up.
Liu San had been waiting anxiously for a long time, and upon hearing this, he quickly asked her to bring the person over.
Jiang Ci took Liu San's umbrella and ran to the door. As expected, she saw Zhou Gou. She didn't say anything and led the group into the cowshed.
Cheng Yehan's room was already small, and with the arrival of three men, it was instantly packed full.
"Which one of you is the doctor? And you there? Jiang Ci's husband, get out. You don't need to come in!" Liu San shouted.
This person is a master at discarding someone after they've served their purpose.
Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli exchanged a glance, then looked at Zhou Gou, who was nervously staring at Cheng Yehan. Without saying anything, the couple walked out together.
Dr. Niu quickly took the medical kit from Zhou Gou and began treating Cheng Yehan.
Zhou Gou once saw Cheng Yehan's photo at Cheng Huasheng's place.
The photo is black and white, and the old man in the photo is much younger and fatter than the white-haired old man in front of us.
Zhou Gou could tell that this person was Cheng Huasheng's father, Cheng Yehan.
This cowshed is no place for humans; they torture people to the point of exhaustion!
Zhou Gou silently handed the things to Doctor Niu while keeping his eyes on Liu San.
Just from hearing how Liu San kicked Zhou Lao Er out like a used tool, it's clear he's no good.
Who knows how they might torment Mr. Cheng?
Zhou Gou made a note of it.
"Doctor, how is he?" Liu San asked hurriedly.
"He has a fever. People his age are prone to catching a cold. This room is damp and doesn't get any sunlight. It rained heavily and the temperature dropped suddenly. His body couldn't handle it." Dr. Niu gave Cheng Yehan an injection.
"After he wakes up and eats, give him his medicine. If his fever goes down, take out the aminopyrine and continue giving him the rest."
Dr. Niu quickly wrapped the commonly used fever medications in neat square pieces of paper, looked around for a while, remained silent, and then placed the packets of medicine on the table covered with paper.
