Chapter 18 Care
Su Tong could clearly see the joy in Xing Dongyang's eyes. He was a kind-hearted and open-minded young man.
He sincerely cares about the original owner and does not hesitate to express his feelings, not just because the original owner helped him once. He moved from the city to Yunshan Village. Compared with the backwardness and isolation here, he has ideas, insights and enthusiasm. In the past few years, the lonely elderly, out-of-school children and backward young people in the village have all received his help to varying degrees.
She is just one of them.
Tian Qingrong's expression changed, and she coughed beside him and said jokingly:
"Brother Dongyang, Wu Tong just said one thing to you, and you're so happy! What you said... she may not understand!"
"No! She can understand!"
Xing Dongyang laughed and refuted Tian Qingrong's words, "When I heard that she even hit her head against a pillar to resist the arranged marriage, I knew that this girl finally came to her senses and she finally fought for herself!
You see, she then performed a meritorious service, risking her life to get the child back."
Xing Dongyang looked back at Su Tong again, "When I saw Wu Tong today, I felt like she had been reborn! She will get better and better!"
Su Tong also smiled, "Yes! Brother Xing! This time, hitting the pillar woke me up, it was like I was reborn. Now I will live well! Not only live, but live brilliantly!"
Tian Qingrong, however, could no longer hold back. Wu Tong had always been the least noticeable and least liked person in the village. Every time she was seen, she was always humble and silent with her head lowered. She had never said a few words throughout the entire year. Especially when she saw the educated youth in the village, she would bow her head to the ground. She was a girl with inferiority complex to her core.
She did have other intentions for coming here today. Although she had never dealt with Wu Tong on weekdays, she felt that Wu Tong should be an easy person to control. She didn't expect that this girl seemed to have become a different person after bumping into the pillar. Not only did she become much bolder, but even her temperament and conversation had changed.
Although she was still the little girl with sallow and rough skin, Brother Dongyang had never cared about her like this. It was ok for him to be nice to Zhang Yaping usually, but now he cared so much about such an inconspicuous little girl.
She saw all the nutritional supplements in the bag, including brown sugar, malted milk, and canned syrup, all of which were expensive.
She herself hadn't drunk brown sugar water for more than half a year, let alone malted milk. It was difficult to buy even if she had money, but Brother Dongyang had a bag full of it. She felt suffocated and a little depressed just thinking about it.
Tian Qingrong calmly changed the subject, "Brother Dongyang, have you changed the parts of the tractor?"
Xing Dongyang said, "Not yet! I came to the hospital first and planned to go to the agricultural machinery station after seeing Wu Tong."
"Brother Dongyang, after you change the parts, can I take your tractor back to the village? The shuttle bus won't be available until very late."
"sure."
Xing Dongyang hesitated for a moment after he finished speaking, "But I don't know if the agricultural machinery station is busy or not. I don't know when I can finish the replacement."
"Brother Dongyang, how about I go with you, so that we don't have to meet each other later."
Xing Dongyang glanced at Su Tong, then at the book on the bedside table, "You--don't have to accompany Wu Tong anymore?"
In fact, Tian Qingrong felt a little embarrassed after she finished speaking. She had clearly said before that she came to accompany Wu Tong, but she was unwilling to give up the opportunity to be alone with Xing Dongyang.
Su Tong said, "Brother Xing, please let Tian Zhiqing go with you! I don't need anyone to accompany me. I can still read books when I have nothing to do. Don't worry!"
Sister Dong finally found an opportunity. She shouted at the bed opposite, "Let's go! I'm watching her IV! I can call the nurse for her. I have a loud voice!"
After some care and courtesy, Xing Dongyang and Tian Qingrong left together, and the ward finally became quiet.
Sister Dong had just been watching for a long time, and now she concluded thoughtfully, "That girl likes that boy, but that boy doesn't have eyes for her. That girl saw you by chance, and she must be waiting for that boy."
Su Tong gave Sister Dong a thumbs up.
When Xing Dongyang walked out of the inpatient department, he saw a man in military training uniform standing at the gate. He was tall and straight, with an awe-inspiring demeanor, and was talking to a nurse.
The nurse saw Xing Dongyang and Tian Qingrong and said to the man, "Captain Qin, the people who visited Wu Tong have come out. You can go over."
Qin Yi nodded, glanced at Xing Dongyang and Tian Qingrong, and passed by them.
He hadn't taken two steps when he heard someone calling him from behind, "Captain Qin?"
Qin Yi turned around and saw that it was the young man who had just walked out. Although he was dressed in ordinary clothes, he was handsome and gentle, with a scholarly air.
"Captain Qin! Hello! Are you handling Wu Tong's case?"
Qin Yi looked at him with scrutiny, "Who are you?"
"Oh! I'm from Yunshan Village. My name is Xing Dongyang. I'm Wu Tong's friend. Can I...talk to you for a moment?"
Xing Dongyang? Qin Yi quickly found this name in his mind. This was the only name of a young man other than relatives that appeared in Wu Tong's investigation records.
Qin Yi nodded and walked into the yard first. Xing Dongyang asked Tian Qingrong to wait on the side and followed him.
Tian Qingrong reached out her hand to grab Xing Dongyang, but she was a step too slow.
The two of them stood beside the holly tree in the yard.
Xing Dongyang said, "Hello, comrade! I know you have discipline. Let me make it clear that I am not asking about anything related to the case. I just want to know whether all the fugitives have been caught?
Are there any other accomplices out there?
Wu Tong stepped forward to exchange the child, and the town and village have publicized it. Her identity has been exposed, so will she face potential threats in the future?"
Qin Yi was a little surprised. This incident happened so long ago, and many people from the town and county came from all walks of life. They were all thinking about how to expand publicity and how to win honors. This was the first time that someone really considered Wu Tong's safety.
Qin Yi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you concerned about her safety?"
Xing Dongyang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes! That girl has no status at home. Because of some rumors, she is also discriminated against in the village. She has always had a hard life. Even if we want to help her, we can't help her much.
She almost lost her life this time, and she is lucky to be alive. Saving people this time should be the bravest act in her life. I don’t want her to face the revenge of the criminals in the future, because if she does that... she will completely lose faith in this world.
To be honest, I don’t want this to be publicized again and again. For Wu Tong, before she learns to protect herself, these honors will become pressure, weighing on her and even hurting her.”
Qin Yi looked at the young man in front of him. He was a person who truly cared about Wu Tong. No wonder he appeared in Wu Tong's almost blank interpersonal relationships.
