After Xiao Cheng knew that Pei Heixiong was a retired soldier, he started talking and the few of them chatted non-stop.
Gu Qingmeng was bored, so she started chatting about gossip with other people on the ox cart.
There were two aunts from Peijiagou, and Gu Qingmeng heard the name Li Xiangyang again from them. This man had never left Peijiagou and even married the daughter of an accountant a few years ago.
She got pregnant before marriage and it became known to everyone. Even if the accountant didn't want to marry his daughter off, he couldn't send her to jail.
This was a risky move, but Li Xiangyang won the bet.
What Gu Qingmeng cared about most was the school. Her two aunts described the school in vivid detail. Knowing that the students were doing well, she felt relieved.
There was also some candy in the bag that she brought back, which she brought specially for the children.
I chatted with two aunts on the way and arrived at Peijiagou unknowingly. As soon as the ox cart entered the village, I saw Zhao Weiting running towards me.
"What happened to Tingting?"
Gu Qingmeng jumped off the ox cart before it stopped, and Xiao Cheng followed closely behind. His heart sank.
"Weiting, what happened?"
"Grandpa Xiao's leg is inflamed, and he's delirious with fever. The barefoot doctor the team leader hired said he needs to amputate."
Zhao Weiting's eyes were red. Her mother was a doctor. She knew better than anyone else what amputation meant.
Amputation harms not only the patient's body but also their mind. How many people become depressed and die of depression after amputation?
"Where is the cowshed? I..." Xiao Cheng wanted to see his grandfather right now and couldn't wait until night.
"Gu girl, bring your friends to your house to rest."
Pei Heixiong interrupted Xiao Cheng and Gu Qingmeng immediately understood what he meant.
"I bought a house in Peijiagou. Come and have a look at my house. Pei Xinghe, go home first. I'll be there soon."
Gu Qingmeng took the two of them back to the house by the river and asked Pei Xinghe to take his things and go home first.
"Okay, I'll come over to see you guys later and have dinner together tonight."
Pei Xinghe told Zhao Weiting and Xiao Cheng that he guessed that the man in military uniform came to Peijiagou not just to see his fiancée!
It was related to the cowshed again. He thought of his grandfather and father-in-law, and Pei Xinghe felt more sympathetic towards the people in the cowshed.
Otherwise, persuade his father to send him to the hospital!
Gu Qingmeng brought the two back home, closed the door, and asked, "How is Grandpa Xiao's injury? How could it be so serious that he needed amputation?"
"When Grandpa Xiao arrived, his leg injury was already very serious. The team leader wanted to send him to the hospital, but Grandpa Xiao refused. Later, a barefoot doctor was called in, who said he wanted to amputate. Grandpa Xiao seemed unwilling to receive treatment, and Grandma Xiao kept crying."
The more Zhao Weiting spoke, the lower her voice became. Ever since Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao came, she went to see them every night. She found that Grandpa Xiao was determined to die!
Now that Xiao Cheng is here, I don’t know if he can arouse their will to survive.
Zhao Weiting wanted to ask Gu Qingmeng if the Xiao family could leave the cowshed? But then she thought, she couldn't tell them. Grandpa Gu and the others left the cowshed because of the infectious disease.
There are other people inside helping with the operation, so she can't ask Gu Qingmeng for help. It's too much to ask!
"Let's go after dark. My father-in-law is the captain of Peijiagou. He can still send the person to the hospital!"
The people in the cowshed were sent down there for reformation. They can only be educated and reformed while they are still alive. But when they are sick and sent to the hospital, no one can tell what is wrong with them?
"Thank you Qingmeng!" Xiao Cheng calmed down and realized that now was not a good time to go to the bullpen.
When my grandparents got into trouble, my parents and uncle directly published an announcement in the newspaper to sever ties with them.
He was the only one in the family who didn't express his opinion. Not expressing his opinion actually made it clear that they no longer recognized their grandparents and would recognize them on their own.
He used his own power to investigate his grandfather's affairs and had some clues, but no substantial evidence.
"We grew up together, what's there to thank for? You can stay here today! Weiting lives in a villager's house, there's no room for you."
Gu Qingmeng went to the west room to pack up her things, and Zhao Weiting went over to help.
"Why are you coming with me if you're not accompanying your Ice Face?"
Zhao Weiting closed the door to the west room, tears instantly falling from his eyes. He choked up and said, "I received a telegram from home."
"What? Did they ask you to break up with Ice Face and cancel the engagement?" You could tell it was just this.
"Well, they didn't say it explicitly, but they wanted me to go back to Jing City."
Zhao Weiting doesn't want to go back to Beijing now. Now that the Xiao family is in trouble, it is not a good time for her to marry Xiao Cheng. Besides, her parents are unlikely to agree to their marriage at the moment.
Grandpa Xiao and the others are now in Peijiagou, and she is worried about them, so she wants to stay in Peijiagou to take care of them.
"It's fine to go back to Beijing. I'm not often in Peijiagou now, and I'm worried about you staying here." Gu Qingmeng saw that Zhao Weiting didn't say anything, so she continued, "You don't want to stay here to take care of the Xiao family, do you?"
Zhao Weiting: "...Well, I want to take care of them."
Gu Qingmeng: ...
I didn't realize that Zhao Weiting is still in love. Outsiders really can't answer this question.
"I think you should discuss it with Xiao Cheng!" Gu Qingmeng dreamed that silent efforts would not be rewarded.
"I......"
Zhao Weiting knew that Xiao Cheng would not agree. He would definitely force her to return to Beijing! Their marriage might also fall through, which was what she least wanted to see.
"Tingting, relationships require two people to work together to succeed. Trying alone will be very tiring. Think carefully about it. Is that the life you want?"
Gu Qingmeng felt that this was the best she could do.
Zhao Weiting fell into deep thought. After thinking for a while, she decided to listen to Gu Qingmeng's words. She wanted to have a good talk with Xiao Cheng.
They were people who were going to spend their whole lives together, and his family was their own family. How could they just withdraw when something went wrong? She, Zhao Weiting, would never do such a thing.
Gu Qingmeng gave the two of them enough space, went out to get some firewood, and lit the stove and hearth in the house.
The house is not that dirty and can be lived in after a simple wipe. I guess my mother-in-law comes here often to clean.
"Qingqing, let me do the work." Pei Xinghe entered the house and found his wife working.
