Lin Ye first helped Gu Dequan and Hu Hongping to lock Xu Lang in the vegetable cellar at home.
Then, he asked Tian Da to drive Xu Lang's car away and hide it.
After doing all this, he returned to the hospital with peace of mind.
Dawn breaks, and a ray of morning light falls.
The ground was covered with white, and it made a crackling sound when you stepped on it. The streets and alleys were filled with the sound of firecrackers and laughter.
Today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow is the Chinese New Year.
The air was filled with joy everywhere, and Lin Ye's mood also became a little more relaxed.
He didn't dare leave the hospital, for fear that Zheng Biaozi would call and not be able to find him.
He waited until the night of the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month before he finally got the call he wanted.
It was Zheng Biaozi, and his tone sounded a little anxious.
"Brother, I'm sorry, my car broke down on the way."
"So it's a bit slow. I guess it will take a few more days to find my sister-in-law."
I don’t have a car and I’m not familiar with the terrain.
It was quite difficult for him to search from village to village just by walking.
On normal days, you could spend some money to find someone to show you the way, but during the New Year, everyone in the town was closed and no one was bothered to open the door even when you knocked.
"No need, I'll tell you an address, you can go directly..."
After Lin Ye gave the address, he did not forget to remind Zheng Biaozi.
"The roads are slippery after dark. You should go during the day tomorrow."
"Remember, you have a family too, so be careful about your own safety."
Zheng Biaozi wrote down the address and gave Lin Ye a promise.
"Brother, I will definitely pick up my sister-in-law and send her to you safely."
Outside the window, a sharp sound of fireworks broke through the clouds, exploding into a beautiful stream of light in the dark night sky.
Zheng Biaozi hung up the phone and decided to recharge his energy and have a good sleep.
This way, I can continue looking for people tomorrow!
————————
In the middle of the night, the snow started falling again and never stopped.
The next morning, Su Man was awakened by the laughter outside.
Today is New Year's Eve. The children in the village rarely get a few cents of New Year's money, so they bought fireworks and played with them while running.
She opened her eyes and sat up, suddenly startled.
Gu Tianxing is missing. When I went to bed last night, she was still in the bed next to me?
Zhu Jiumei said she was afraid that Gu Tianxing would not sleep well at night and kick Su Man in the stomach.
I specially brought out the summer bed, laid out bedding and let her sleep next to it.
Gu Tianxing herself insisted on sleeping separately from Su Man, so Su Man didn't even know when she got up.
Su Man was startled when she thought that Zhu Wangdi was still at home.
Could it be that Zhu Wangdi took the person away?
She didn't even bother to put on her cotton clothes and ran out in her slippers.
"Aunt Jiumei..."
"Hey, here it is!"
Zhu Jiumei in the kitchen responded, and Su Man hurried over.
I saw Gu Tianxing and Zhu Jiumei standing by the stove, which was already filled with wrapped dumplings.
Zhu Jiumei smiled when she saw Su Man got up.
"You know what, your mom makes really good-looking dumplings. She knows how to make more dumplings than I do."
They eat both noodles and rice in Linshui Town, but because they are poor, they seldom eat dumplings.
It was also the Chinese New Year, and Yun Dashu was happy for a rare time. He cut a few pounds of meat and went home to make dumplings.
Zhu Jiumei thought that Su Man came from the capital and should also like to eat.
So I got up early in the morning to chop the stuffing and mix the dough, but when it came time to actually wrap it, I got stuck.
The dumplings she made looked nothing like what they were made of, and I guess they wouldn't taste very good.
Unexpectedly, Gu Tianxing heard the noise and ran over, kneading the dough and starting to wrap it.
You know what, it really just happened in a short while.
Su Man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Gu Tianxing was still there.
"I thought my mother was murdered by Zhu Wangdi..."
Zhu Jiumei knew what she was worried about and waved her hand with a smile.
"The mountains are blocked by heavy snow. We can't go anywhere."
"She can only sit at home and worry!"
As they were talking, Zhu Wangdi opened the door of the pigpen and walked out with a gloomy face.
"You're saying bad things about me again, aren't you?"
Gu Tianxing refused to go back to the mountain, and Yun Dashu and his wife would not let her take her away.
There was no choice but to stay at Zhu Jiumei's house.
But Zhu Jiumei didn't treat her as a family member at all. She said there was no extra space at home and asked her to live in the pigsty.
These days are really frustrating.
Zhu Wangdi went into the kitchen and sat shivering in front of the stove to warm herself by the fire.
"Eating dumplings? Cook more for me, I'm hungry!"
Zhu Jiumei frowned and glared at her: "You didn't contribute any money or effort, how dare you say that?"
Gu Tianxing looked at Su Man and put down the work in his hands.
After washing my hands, I went back to the house and got her a cotton coat to wear.
Then he walked to the stove and picked up Zhu Wangdi.
"Go away!"
Then, he invited Su Man to sit over.
"It's warm here, kid!"
Zhu Wangdi was thrown aside and was about to beat Gu Tianxing with gritted teeth.
"Hey, you crazy woman, are you becoming more and more arrogant now?"
Su Man stood in front of Gu Tianxing and looked at her coldly.
"Can you try to move her?"
Zhu Wangdi was really scared when she saw Su Man like that.
He is obviously a barefoot doctor, but I don’t know why he is being so arrogant?
Zhu Jiumei walked up to her angrily and pushed Zhu Wangdi out of the kitchen.
"Go stay in the pigpen. I'll call you when the dumplings are ready."
"I do nothing all day long, just causing trouble for others!"
Zhu Wangdi's face was full of grievance: "No, who is really your family?"
"Why do you only help outsiders and not me, your own family?"
Zhu Jiumei snorted and closed the kitchen door.
