"It's great-grandfather and the others. They just caught a cold. Didn't it snow before? They are old and naturally weaker." Pei Xinghe comforted him.
If everyone in the cowshed hadn't been sick, he would have come after sending Chen Lan away three days ago.
"Them? Who is sick?" Gu Qingmeng asked.
She had a bad feeling. Did someone send a package? Who was it?
"Everyone is sick except Uncle Gu, including Great Grandpa." Pei Xinghe told the truth. He knew that this matter could not be concealed. When Qingqing returned, he would definitely go to the cowshed!
You'll know everything once you get to the bullpen.
"The medicine is ready, you can take it back!" Qian Xizi sighed, thinking that this medicine might not save his life.
"How much are these medicines?"
Pei Xinghe took out the money, but was stopped by Qian Xiazi. He waved his hand and asked the two to leave.
Although he loves money, he sells medicine to cure diseases and save lives. If the medicine cannot save people, he naturally will not accept money.
The two of them quickly took the medicine and got on a car bound for Gaoling County. When they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, they saw Pei Dazhuang waiting there driving a ox cart.
"You're here, so get in the car first! We'll be heading back soon. Gu girl, the package in the car is yours, and here's your letter."
Pei Dazhuang took out the letter and handed it to Gu Qingmeng.
Gu Qingmeng then remembered that the postman had told her that there was a package for her at the post office, but she was so busy that she forgot and never went to pick it up. When she opened the letter, she found a work indicator inside. The letter was written by her second uncle, indicating that the work had been arranged!
Even the house allocated by the company has been agreed upon, and Tian Liping will get the key as soon as she completes the employment procedures.
Gu Qingmeng knew that her uncles must have put in a lot of effort!
Put away the letter and work indicators. The work certificate is a piece of paper with an official seal and no name on it. Whoever's name is filled in will get the job?
So it can't be lost. Gu Qingmeng put the work indicators into the space. Now the top priority is to cure the illness of grandpa and others. The stepmother's work is not urgent.
"Qingqing, use this to warm your hands." Pei Xinghe went to the supply and marketing cooperative and took out some roasted sweet potatoes. He exchanged them with his sister for buns. The sweet potatoes were warm enough to warm Gu Qingmeng's hands.
After waiting for a while, people started to get on the ox cart one after another. Pei Dazhuang did not start the cart until it was full. It was not that they did not want to go first, but there were people waiting to ride the ox cart. After pulling people out, they had to be responsible for pulling them back.
It was almost five o'clock when they returned to Peijiagou. Gu Qingmeng and Pei Xinghe went straight to the cowshed with the medicine.
Thinking of the original owner's illness in the dream, Gu Qingmeng stopped Pei Xinghe and said, "Don't go in. I'll go deliver the medicine."
"I'm going to deliver the medicine. I've been taking care of little grandpa these past few days. Can you... can you go home first?"
Pei Xinghe persuaded softly that he had dealt with Qian Xiazi before and knew something about him. He knew what was going on when he didn't pay for the medicine today. He thought the disease could not be cured.
Several elderly people were coughing particularly badly due to this cold. Pei Xinghe actually didn't want Gu Qing to dream about Gu Huaian, for fear that she would feel uncomfortable.
"You're taking care of them, so are you sick?"
Before Pei Xinghe could answer, Gu Jun helped Mr. Lu out.
"Have you paid for the medicine?" Old Lu asked. His heart sank when he saw Pei Xinghe shaking his head.
"Mr. Lu, how's my grandfather?" Gu Qingmeng tried to enter the cowshed but was stopped by Mr. Lu. He said, "Don't go in, girl. I suspect this disease is contagious, and it spreads very quickly, especially to the weak. Unless there's an imported special medicine, I'm afraid these herbs won't be of any use."
Gu Qingmeng, who already had some doubts, was certain that someone had attacked his grandfather when he heard the word "infectious disease".
"Dad, did you receive the package from Jing City? Who sent it to you?" Gu Qingmeng asked in a deep voice.
Gu Jun: "...I didn't receive it! Our family is in this state, who would send me a package?"
Suddenly seeing his daughter's face darken, Gu Jun couldn't help but stutter. Because since she was little, whenever his daughter's face darkened, she would get angry, and he was the one who always resisted her anger at home.
"There was an infectious disease in the hospital where Tingting's mother worked. The symptoms were similar to those of the common cold. She heard that several people had died before she went to the countryside." She had taken all precautions but didn't expect her family to still get the disease. She didn't receive the package, but Tian Liping and her brother Tian Zhixin both came from Beijing.
"Did your stepmother give you something? Or did that Tian Lixin get you something? Is it food or something useful?"
Gu Qingmeng now deeply regretted why she left that day?
If she hadn't left, would she have noticed something? Grandpa wouldn't have gotten sick, and now he's implicated others.
"No, your uncle just brought me two vests, saying they were made by Guodong's grandmother. They were meant for us to wear to keep warm and not be conspicuous." Gu Jun's heart sank. He didn't want to believe his brother-in-law would do anything to him! Did Tian Liping know about this? What role did she play in this?
"When Tian Zhixin was in Beijing, he would always come to you asking for money or food. You found him jobs. He would give you things out of kindness. It's lucky he didn't even step on our family's bad luck. You still treat him as a good person. Why would grandpa wear clothes he took?"
She made a cotton-padded jacket for her grandfather, and he would not wear other clothes of unknown origin, because she had told him not to use other people's things, and he also knew that someone wanted to harm him.
Gu Qingmeng was puzzled. How could her grandfather be tricked so easily?
"I...I went to see your Aunt Tian. Tian Zhixin knew your grandfather didn't like him, so he told me to take the vest back home to keep warm. I gave it to your grandfather and gave the other one to Old Wu."
The more Gu Jun spoke, the lower his voice became. Elder Wu was the first to get sick. He gave the vest to Elder Wu because he was the weakest. He was afraid that Elder Wu would get sick in the cold weather, so...
"If anything happens to my grandfather, we will sever our ties. You can stay with Tian Liping and live as a family."
Gu Qingmeng was breathing heavily. She said that her grandfather would not accept other people's things, so it turned out that he was using her name.
If something really happened to her grandfather, she wanted Tian Zhixin to be buried with him.
"My dear, your Aunt Tian must not know about this! I..." Gu Jun closed his eyes in annoyance.
