"Adie, you're really back!" The neighbor saw little Fudie and walked towards her happily. "I didn't mean to ask about your itinerary. I just heard your conversation when I was talking to you on the phone. I guessed you might be taking a bus back to the village, so I came to the village entrance to wait and see."
Xiao Fudie came back in a hurry, without taking anything with her, and only carried a cross-body bag.
The neighbor wanted to take the bag from Xiao Fudie: "Adie, you must be tired from the long journey home. Give it to me quickly, I'll carry it for you!"
Xiao Fudie subconsciously grabbed the bag of her backpack, and the smile on her lips was a little stiff: "No need, uncle, it's just a small bag, it doesn't weigh much, I'm not so weak that I can't even carry a crossbody bag."
Xiao Fudie's cross-body bag is very small and can only hold a mobile phone, a notebook, a pen and a pack of toilet paper.
The bag does not weigh much when it is carried because it contains few things. It is like an ornament when worn on the body. Most people will not help others carry such a bag just to share the weight.
In this situation, Xiao Fudie could only think of one possibility when someone wanted to take her bag away - he wanted to cut off her contact with the outside world, so that she could not send a distress signal to her colleagues or anyone else through the Internet.
Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Fudie became more careful with her cross-body bag, fearing that it would be taken away by her neighbor if she was not careful.
"Okay, if you feel tired carrying it, just tell me anytime!" Xiao Fudie was reluctant to give him the bag, and the neighbor didn't force him.
He walked side by side with Xiao Fudie, chatting with her from time to time.
When we were about to reach my grandmother's house, a neighbor suddenly said, "Adie, you look a little strange today. Did something happen at work?"
Xiao Fudie paused, and when she heard Shen Yijin's voice in her ears, she felt a lot more at ease.
Xiao Fudie repeated Shen Yijin's words in a relaxed and natural tone, "I've had a lot of troubles at work lately. I've revised the plan several times, but the client is still not satisfied. And my grandma had an accident. The thought of what might happen if we don't find her in the mountains... makes me feel very sad. If she didn't want to, I would definitely bring her to live in the city."
When the neighbor heard what Xiao Fudie said, a dark light flashed in his eyes.
If Xiao Fudie takes her grandmother to the city this time, she will never come back to the village.
No, this time, no matter what, he must keep Xiao Fudie and let her take care of his son willingly!
"Why don't you consider staying in the village for a while? You are so tired from work. Living in the village for a while can relieve your work anxiety and you can spend more time with your grandmother. She is in danger now if no one is watching her." The neighbor tried to persuade Xiao Fudie to stay in the village for a while. The longer Xiao Fudie stayed in the village, the greater the probability of his plan being successfully implemented.
Xiao Fudie sighed and said helplessly, "No, I can't. Party A hasn't settled the matter yet. If I ask for a long vacation now, I will definitely be fired from the company. The employment environment is not good now. If I lose my job, it will be difficult to find another job with such good salary and benefits."
"Besides, uncle, you said grandma might be hallucinating. There's no point for me to stay with her. We still have to take her to a big hospital in the city. Uncle, didn't you tell me the same thing on the phone before?" Xiao Fudie tilted her head in confusion, as if she didn't understand why her neighbor changed his mind again.
The neighbor hadn't expected his trick to get Xiao Fudie back would backfire. He was speechless, "Well, people tend to talk nonsense as they get older, but it's not to the point where we need to go to the city hospital. Going to the hospital too often isn't good for your health. Those medical tests and stuff have serious side effects."
After the neighbor finished speaking, he realized that what he said was just a slap in the face.
He was just regretting his wrong words when he heard Xiao Fudie say in surprise, "Uncle, you're wrong to think that way. We have to do physical examinations every year in our company, and the elderly should go to the hospital for regular checkups. This way, we can detect any hidden diseases in the body in time and get treatment before the condition becomes serious."
"Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing. But the medical equipment in our village clinic is very complete now. You can take your grandma to the clinic first. If there is no big problem, there is no need to go to the city. It is very troublesome to go back and forth." The neighbor quickly changed his words.
Xiao Fudie finally understood. No matter what, as long as she mentioned going back to the city, her neighbors would find an excuse to stop her from going back.
Fearing that the neighbor would become desperate, Xiao Fudie followed Shen Yijin's instructions and agreed to stay in the village for two or three days.
The neighbor finally breathed a sigh of relief. He watched Xiao Fudie go into her grandmother's house and said that he would invite her and her grandmother to dinner in the evening.
Xiao Fudie agreed with a smile, and after closing the door, she felt weak all over.
She gasped for breath and asked Shen Yijin in a low voice, "What should I do with the anchor? I feel like he's angered by what I just said and is going to attack me tonight. Should I find a way to take grandma away before dinner?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yijin quickly said, "No, your two families are so close. As long as you and grandma go out, he will find out immediately. I have already called the police for you. Don't eat the food he prepared for you tonight. Just buy time and wait for the police to arrive."
Do the police in this village really care about this? They might know what my grandmother's neighbors are up to and even let them off the hook, accusing Xiao Fudie of making a false alarm.
[This is how it is in small places. It's completely normal for people to go along with the crowd and become corrupt.]
[I'm scared by what you said, but no, if it really goes as you said, then little Fudie won't be able to escape!]
Xiao Fudie didn't take out her phone and didn't know what people were talking about in the barrage, so when she heard Chen Yijin say that she had called the police, she felt that her safety would be guaranteed soon and she breathed a sigh of relief.
The neighbors on both sides would wait until dinner time to attack her, so Xiao Fudie went to the bedroom to check on her grandmother first.
Xiao Fudie's grandmother fell down in the mountains and hasn't recovered yet. After being carried home by the villagers, she fell asleep not long after.
When Xiao Fudie heard her grandmother's clear breathing, the huge rock that had been hanging in her heart finally fell.
Fortunately, no matter how dangerous her situation was, at least her grandmother was safe.
Sick people need to stay in a ventilated environment. Xiao Fudie saw that the bedroom window was closed, so she got up and walked to the window, wanting to open it for ventilation.
However, as her hand touched the window, Shen Yijin's stern voice rang in her ears: "You can't open the window!"
