Originally, Su Man and Zheng Biaozi planned to go down the mountain the next day, but the snow on the mountain was too thick and the ox cart could not move forward.
It was obviously unrealistic for Su Man to walk down the mountain on her own with such a big belly.
There was no other way, so at Zhu Jiumei's request, they stayed at home for a few more days.
In the past few days, Zhu Wangdi has looked visibly more haggard.
Holding the newspaper, I had nightmares all night long. As soon as I closed my eyes, I dreamed that I was buried by Li Genshen.
I was in a daze until dawn, and finally I heard some noise outside and felt a little sleepy.
He was also afraid that Su Man and the others would run away with Gu Tianxing, so he could only prop himself up and sit up and stare at them.
If she continues like this, she's afraid she'll die before Gu Tianxing.
Finally, on the eighth day of the New Year, the snow on the mountain stopped.
Yun Chengcai and Yun Dashu wrapped their ox cart with straw ropes to prevent it from slipping, and wrapped the ox hooves with rags.
The ox cart was covered with thick hay and bedding, and only after making sure that Su Man would not be shaken at all did they prepare to send Su Man down the mountain.
Before leaving, Su Man held Zhu Jiumei's hand reluctantly.
"Aunt Jiumei, thank you for taking care of me these days!"
"After I give birth to the baby, I will definitely come back to see you!"
Zhu Jiumei put the eggs she had cooked early in the morning into Su Man's pocket while they were still hot.
"Okay, then I'll be waiting for you at home."
Finally, she looked at Gu Tianxing and smiled again.
"Comrade Gu, you are welcome to come back and visit us again."
Gu Tianxing didn't seem to understand what this meant, and just shrank behind Su Man.
Su Man helped Gu Tianxing onto the ox cart, settled her down, and waved to Zhu Jiumei.
Yun Dashu whipped the ox cart and it slowly moved down the mountain.
Before he had run a few steps, he saw Zhu Wangdi chasing him, panting.
He used his hands and feet to climb onto the ox cart in a clumsy manner, glaring at Su Man angrily.
"God damn it, I knew you had bad intentions."
"What? You want to wait until I fall asleep and take me away? Dream on."
Gu Tianxing leaned closer to Su Man, opened his arms and protected her like a hen.
"No, touch her!"
Zhu Wangdi couldn't help but sneer when she saw Gu Tianxing like that.
"You're so funny, you lunatic. You're protecting your child like a baby. If someone who doesn't know her sees her, they'll think she's your daughter!"
"Come on, follow me back!"
Gu Tianxing ignored her and stood between her and Su Man, holding on to the ox cart.
"Hey, I'm talking to you..."
Zhu Wangdi was about to use violence, but Zheng Biaozi, who was sitting in front of her, suddenly coughed and gave her a warning look.
"What? Want to fight?"
Zhu Wangdi naturally didn't dare to do that, but she still refused to let him go.
"You can't take her with you. Even if you go down the mountain, you can't leave the town."
"There are people watching outside. If anything happens to her, none of us will be safe."
"As soon as possible, let her come back with me. I will pretend that this never happened."
On this point, Su Man didn't think Zhu Wangdi was lying.
Since Li Genshen hid people here, it is impossible that he had no precautions at all.
She paused, frowned, and gently patted Gu Tianxing's shoulder.
"Don't be afraid!"
Then he glanced at Zhu Wangdi.
"We didn't say we were leaving. My belly is getting big, and I'm afraid it would be too late to give birth if I go back."
"So I'm going to stay at the town hospital first. Comrade Gu is willing to stay with me, so I'll take him with me."
"If you're worried, you can follow."
"However, if I were you, I would first think about my future retreat..."
These words reminded Zhu Wangdi again.
She opened her mouth to refute Su Man, but held her words back.
Wait, she will wait a little longer until Xu Lang comes over to ask.
Half a day later, the ox cart finally arrived at the town hospital.
Zheng Biaozi ran around to help Su Man complete the hospitalization procedures.
It’s just the Chinese New Year, so there aren’t many people in the hospital.
Su Man was lucky and was assigned a single room.
There were two beds in the single room, one for her and one for Gu Tianxing.
After sitting on the ox cart for a whole morning, her waist was about to break.
Gu Tianxing helped her lie down on the hospital bed, and she felt better.
Before leaving, Yun Dashu told Su Man to have a good rest.
Su Man didn't let him bother by saying that she would bring them food later.
The mountain road is difficult to travel on due to the snow, and it takes a whole day to go back and forth.
"Uncle Dashu, that's not necessary. You can buy anything in town. Just go back and have a good rest."
Zhu Wangdi's eyes rolled when she heard this.
"No! How can the food in town be as delicious as Jiumei's?"
"Besides, it costs money! Let them deliver it..."
Without waiting for Su Man to say anything, Yun Dashu frowned.
"Even if I'm delivering food, it's not for you."
"If you want to eat, go back and eat it yourself. I'm too lazy to serve you!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Su Man and spoke gently.
"Well, Dr. Su, you have a good rest. I'm going back first!"
After Yun Dashu left, Zheng Biaozi glanced at Zhu Wangdi and said coldly.
"You, come with me to buy some daily necessities. My sister-in-law can use them."
Zhu Wangdi was very unhappy, but under the threat of Zheng Biaozi, she did not dare to say no.
I could only stand up dejectedly and follow him.
"You all are bullying an old widow like me. Just wait and see..."
After Zheng Biaozi and Zhu Wangdi left, the ward became quiet.
Su Man could finally sleep for a while, but Gu Tianxing refused to sleep.
She sat at the door alertly, listening to the noise outside.
Everything here matched a certain point in her memory, a vague memory she vaguely remembered.
Su Man, lying on the hospital bed, at some point turned into her own face.
