It was already dark when Gu Qingmeng and Pei Xiaohua arrived in the city. They took the last bus to the city and went straight to the city hospital.
When they arrived, Pei Weidong was lying on the hospital bed receiving an IV drip.
Seeing them coming over, he stood up and was about to get up, but Su Xue pressed him down on the bed: "Don't move."
"Why are you here at this time? I thought you wouldn't come today." Su Xue asked the two of them. She thought they would arrive at noon, but she waited and waited but no one showed up.
Pei Xiaohua glanced at her brother, her eyes red, and she choked up and said, "Xiaocao is gone."
"What's the reason?" Pei Xinghe's face darkened.
Gu Qing dreamed that Pei Weidong was the only one in the ward, so she went to the door and closed it.
"Xiaocao was constantly bullied by Chen Lan's two sons, and...she was pregnant, which drove her crazy. She committed suicide, claiming she died of illness. She was buried early this morning."
Pei Xiaohua didn't know much, she only knew that her sister committed suicide, and she started crying again as she spoke.
"Okay, this is a relief for her. What about those two bastards?" Pei Xinghe asked.
Pei Xiaohua wiped her tears and said, "I don't know. Great-grandfather said that this matter ends here and is not allowed to be mentioned again."
Don't mention it again. This is not like the way of doing things by great grandfather. Pei Xinghe doesn't believe that this matter will be forgotten! The girl who harmed their Pei family must pay with her life.
"You guys stay at the guesthouse tonight, I'll stay with you. I have to go back to Peijiagou tomorrow to take care of some things."
Pei Xinghe rubbed his sore forehead. In his impression, Pei Xiaocao had always been a timid and cowardly person. She would even walk around him when she saw him on the street! Over time, he would also subconsciously walk around him when he saw his cousin. He thought Chen Lan didn't want Pei Xiaocao to have any contact with them.
"Olive, take Xiaohua to rest first."
Gu Qingmeng felt distressed when she saw her best friend’s red and swollen eyes. She asked her to go to the guesthouse to rest first, and she would stay with Pei Xinghe for a while. She had something to say to Pei Xinghe.
"Okay, I'll tell the front desk of the guesthouse the room number. What would Weidong like to eat tomorrow morning? I'll bring it over early."
Su Xue was indeed feeling a bit headache, she needed to rest, and she didn't need to be polite to these people.
After seeing the two off, Gu Qingmeng sat with Pei Xinghe in the ward, watching Pei Weidong receive the infusion. Until 7:30, when the two bottles of drip were finished, Pei Xinghe got up and sent Gu Qingmeng to the guesthouse.
Gu Qingmeng was wearing a down jacket and her face felt a little cold when she left the hospital. In November in Xiai City, people had already put on cotton-padded jackets.
"It's cold!"
Pei Xinghe waved his big hand in front of Gu Qingmeng a few times, and finally his big hand fell on her ear. In the end, he did not dare to touch the little girl's fair and delicate face!
"It's going to snow in a few days, and the village school will be very cold! Qingqing, let the other educated youth go to class! They will definitely agree! We're getting married soon, and I can support you."
Pei Xinghe saw that the little girl was so afraid of the cold! He thought of asking her to resign. If he went out more often, he would definitely be able to take care of the little girl! She would be better than when she was at home.
They are getting married next month, and he has to take on the responsibility of taking care of the little girl. Naturally, it is most comfortable to stay at home in winter.
"I will definitely work in the future! I can't stay at home to take care of my husband and children. I hope you don't interfere with my work!"
She could ask not to do the school work, but Gu Qingmeng couldn't stand it when the man told her not to do it. This bad habit should not be tolerated at all. She should have the final say in her own affairs.
"Qingqing, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to stop you from working. I just saw that you were afraid of the cold, so I suggested not going to school. If you like teaching students, then you can continue to go to class."
At worst, he would go to school earlier to light the fire. Pei Xinghe apologized humbly. What he feared most now was that Gu Qingmeng would be angry. He would feel extremely anxious when the little girl was angry.
"I'll forgive you this time. Grandma wanted us to work in Xiai City. She said your third uncle works at a pharmaceutical factory and can help arrange a job. What do you mean? Do you want to be a worker?"
Gu Qingmeng didn’t know why Grandma Pei told her about the job. Was it because Pei Xinghe refused, and the old lady wanted her to persuade him?
"Do you want to work in Xiai City? I don't think it's a good time to work now. The job that Uncle San will arrange is probably a temporary job, and I'll only get a dozen or twenty yuan a month. I don't like routine work."
Pei Xinghe asked Gu Qingmeng for her opinion. He felt that the little girl would not leave Peijiagou now. After all, there were people she had to take care of in the cowshed. At the same time, he also expressed his opinion that he did not want to go to work.
"How many people are desperately trying to be a factory worker? That's a stable job that can be passed down from generation to generation. Why wouldn't you want to go?"
Gu Qingmeng knew that Pei Xinghe would not agree to work in the city. He was the one who got Pei Xiuzhen's job. If he wanted a job, he would have found it for himself long ago.
"It sounds nice to say it's a stable job, but who knows what will happen in the future? Maybe one day workers will be worthless."
Pei Xinghe didn't think his job was a permanent one. There hadn't been many accidents over the years! Even high-ranking officials and leaders were living in peril, so what were workers to him?
Gu Qingmeng didn't expect Pei Xinghe to be so forward-thinking, so she immediately brought up the matter of sending her two younger brothers to school.
"Guodong and Guoliang's mother is here today. She's my stepmother. My uncle found her a job as a nurse in a hospital in Xiai City."
"Do Guodong and the others need help with school? How do we arrange their living space? Do we need to buy a yard?"
Pei Xinghe offered to help. He saw how much the little girl loved her two brothers-in-law, and thought that they must have a harmonious relationship.
"Don't worry about it. She has money. My dad divorced her because she got pregnant before the family incident. He won't give her less money."
