After watching Pei Xinghe and the others get on Dean Lu's car, Gu Qingmeng and Pei Dazhuang drove the ox cart back to Peijiagou.
After walking for a while, I saw Pei Fugui and Pei Jianshe. Their legs were shaking from walking.
Pei Fugui asked, "Dad, why are you back? Where are Mom and Old Four?"
"I went to the city to see a doctor. It will take half a month for me to come back. Let's talk about it when I get home!"
Pei Dazhuang's face was dark. Today's incident was closely related to Pei Erzhuang's wife. He couldn't do anything to his sister-in-law, but his brother would let him beat him. It was a disgrace for Peijiagou if he couldn't control his wife.
The Pei Fugui brothers looked at each other. Dad was in a bad mood, so they had better squint! Otherwise, they would definitely become punching bags. They didn't expect their mother to go to the city for treatment.
And it will take another half a month. How much will it cost? How can the family afford treatment? Both of them were calculating their own plans in their hearts, not daring to show it on their faces. They both knew Pei Dazhuang's temper.
"Gu girl, thank you today! You saved your aunt's life. If you need my help, just let me know. I will send you the money in a moment." Pei Dazhuang said solemnly. If the old woman died today, his family would be broken up, so he was very grateful to Gu Qingmeng.
"Uncle, don't say that! It's what I should do. Anyone else would save my aunt if it were them." Gu Qingmeng said with a smile.
Pei Dazhuang couldn't help but feel scared when he thought of his wife's appearance. He knew that if Gu Qingmeng hadn't been there today, his wife would have died without a doubt! He remembered Gu's life-saving grace.
Gu Qingmeng watched the father and his two sons leave, then turned around and went back home. Pei Xinghe and his two brothers were not in a good mood. Aunt Shuqin would make a fuss when she came back. Just now, when the two of them were on the ox cart, they heard that they were going to the city for treatment, and their faces showed obvious reluctance.
When he heard that he was borrowing money from her, his face changed even more. He only had money in his eyes. How could Aunt Shuqin, such a good person, give birth to such a son? Oh, every family has its own problems.
When I returned to the yard, I saw two people working. Pei Weidong's eyes were red, obviously he had been crying. The most important thing was that Su Xue was standing next to him, and the atmosphere between the two was obviously not right.
"What's going on? What happened to Olaf?"
The more Gu Qingmeng looked, the more she felt something was wrong. Gu Guoliang ran out of the vegetable garden and winked at her frantically.
"Ahem...Gu Zhiqing, you're back! How's my aunt? What did the doctors say? When can she be discharged?"
It was because of him that his aunt became ill. He was not in the village in the morning and did not know how serious the situation was. When he came back, he heard that his stepmother had angered his aunt to death.
At that time, he just wanted to kill his stepmother to avenge his aunt! It was his great-grandfather Pei Hei Xiong who stopped him and he gradually calmed down and did not cause any casualties.
"Aunt Shuqin is fine now. She happened to meet doctors from the city who were there to give her guidance at the commune hospital. They saved her and she should be in the city now. She'll be discharged in half a month."
Gu Qingmeng briefly explained Zhang Shuqin's condition and discharge date.
After learning that the two people working at home came to help on their own initiative, Gu Qingmeng expressed his gratitude to them. They refused to accept the gifts prepared for them and left quickly after finishing their work.
"Everyone knows that you are going to build a school for the village. They are very happy to help you and will not accept any gifts from you," Pei Weidong explained.
Gu Qingmeng has already felt the enthusiasm of the villagers. Since the news of building a school spread, there has been a constant supply of wild vegetables at her doorstep.
After three days of sick leave, the school was not yet completed, so they had to go back to work. Pei Dazhuang assigned them the easiest job: cutting grass for pigs.
Collecting grass for pigs was the job of the children in the village. The two men mingled with the children all day long, with snake repellent and mosquito repellent hanging on their bodies. They spent more than ten days in the mountains without seeing a single snake.
Gu Qingmeng couldn't help but sigh at the effectiveness of this medicine. No wonder it was sold at such a high price. In just over ten days, the school had taken shape. It was located by the river, just south of the bridge, not far from home and only a five-minute walk away.
Next to the school was the cowshed. Gu Qingmeng was speechless about the choice of this seat. She heard that it was Pei Hei Xiong who chose it. She was a little confused.
What made Gu Qingmeng speechless the most was that Pei Weidong chose to build his house behind theirs, and he also got close to Su Xue every day, and his intentions were too obvious.
In the past half month, Gu Qingmeng exchanged a lot of dry goods with the villagers and packed two large bags to send back to his grandfather and grandfather.
After diligently collecting pig grass for half a month, Gu Qingmeng and Su Xue asked for leave to mail a package and no one said anything, only the people at the educated youth point made a few sour remarks.
Gu Qingmeng's relationship with them was average. The only ones she had a good relationship with were Guan Beibei, Jiang Yifen, and Jin Yuanyuan. The five of them always gossiped together.
Jiang Yifan looked quiet, but she loved to listen to gossip. Was there anything going on in the village that she didn't know about? She knew all about the relationships between men and women at the educated youth camp, and she also knew about every little gossip in the village.
In Gu Qingmeng's words, Jiang Yifen is the know-it-all in Peijiagou.
Jin Yuanyuan looks bright and clever, but she's actually quite clueless. She'll fire away when others are armed, and her words are incredibly irritating. She'll even make people mad and not be affected at all! And yet, she can still be your good friend.
Guan Beibei is the little princess spoiled by her family. She is very simple and kind. If she hadn't been watched by them and Zhou Yu, she would have been dragged away and married by someone with bad intentions.
Ever since she was pushed into the river and was almost rescued by a man, Zhou Yu has not allowed his cousin to go out alone, and she goes to work with Gu Qingmeng to collect grass for pigs.
"Mengmeng, can you guys bring me a pound of meat when you go to the commune? It would be even better if you could buy two pounds. I want more lean meat. If you ask for leave, I won't go to work. I can finally sleep in tomorrow."
Guan Beibei fantasized about sleeping until noon tomorrow. She also wanted to go to the commune with everyone. After struggling for a day, she finally chose to sleep in at home.
"Okay, I'll help you with the meat. Do you want to see your package?"
Gu Qingmeng asked with a smile. Guan Beibei was like a little sun and very likable. Being with her would make Xiao Liao happy every day.
"Take a look! I'll give you my household registration certificate tonight. If you have any, please buy me some bone marrow! I want to give Chang'an and Nian Nian some weight-loss supplements; they're too thin!"
Guan Beibei frowned slightly when she thought of her two children at home. Li Changan was four years younger than her and was as thin as a stick. Li Changnian was also thin and small, not like an eight-year-old child at all.
Thinking that the school was about to be completed, Guan Beibei started to become talkative, asking Gu Qingmeng and Su Xue to take better care of Li Changnian. She had already heard the skinny boy say that he wanted to send his sister to learn to read.
"You have to take good care of them, or the brother and sister will lie down and suck your blood." Su Xue reminded.
She has seen so many people like this that she doesn't dare to sympathize with anyone now.
"Ah! Chang'an and Changnian are not that kind of people. They never take advantage of me." Guan Beibei immediately retorted.
