"She's a female employee at the factory. Since you're here, I'll find you a guesthouse to stay in."
Chen Shuyun was surprised and grabbed Su Ying tightly to stop her from speaking.
"Tsu, then... can we stay here?"
"Didn't she say she was injured and needed medical treatment? Stay here. I'll take her to the city hospital this afternoon."
Although he said he would take Su Ying to see a doctor, he didn't ask her how the wound on her head worked. He just looked at her face with a deep look in his eyes.
He pushed the bicycle in front, and Chen Shuyun supported Su Ying and followed closely behind.
"Yingying, look, I told you your dad can't just not care about you. He still loves you. Let's treat your illness together."
Su Ying nodded lightly, but she didn't think so in her heart. Su Jianshe's attitude changed too quickly. He was in a hurry to divorce before, but now he acted like he wanted to take care of them. Something was wrong.
The guesthouse Su Jianshe found was not far from the textile factory and the environment was not bad.
But in the 1980s, all guesthouses were like this. The room was a double room, and they were not allowed to sleep in a dormitory.
"How did she get this injury?"
Su Jianshe asked as soon as he sat down.
While Chen Shuyun was looking for a thermos and a teacup to pour him some water, she told him about Su Ying's situation.
"What? Got into college?"
Chen Shuyun let the hot water cool down for him and looked at Su Ying's face full of pride.
"Yes, our Yingying's daughter looked like she could go to a university in Beijing. She was the only child in our village who got into university, but someone took her place. Yingying went to find the person who took her place and got beaten up."
Su Ying observed Su Jianshe's expression for a while. When he heard these things, he was not angry or concerned about her injury at first, but praised himself.
"It's my daughter indeed. She has a talent for learning."
Chen Shuyun also nodded happily.
"Yes, just like you, I can study."
Su Jianshe looked at Su Ying again, examined her face carefully, and then noticed the gauze on her head.
"Is the wound serious? Is it large?"
Su Ying didn't say anything, so Chen Shuyun spoke.
"The doctor at the county hospital said it looked like there was blood in her head. Yingying was having headaches all the time. The wound on the outside wasn't big, just a small wound."
Su Jianshe nodded, sighed, and finally said something caring.
"Alas, the child has suffered. I have to go back to work. I will take her to the hospital this afternoon. You guys should eat something first and rest for a while."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked away. Chen Shuyun followed behind him and asked in a low voice.
"You won't eat with us?"
"No, I still have work to do. You guys eat. I gave you ten dollars. Give Su Ying something to eat. She's too thin. After we finish eating, take her to buy some clothes. Her clothes have too many patches on them."
Having said that, he thought for a moment and took out another thirty yuan from his pocket.
"Buy her one if you are picky."
Chen Shuyun held the money and sent Su Jianshe out of the guesthouse, watching him leave before returning.
"Yingying, what do you want to eat? Your dad gave you some money to take you out for a meal and buy you some clothes."
Su Ying frowned, always feeling that Su Jianshe was not at ease. Only her mother Chen Shuyun would believe that he cared about her as a daughter. But she didn't know why Su Jianshe changed his attitude. Not only did he not mention divorce again, he also said that he would take her to see a doctor.
Su Jianshe took him back to the textile factory on his bicycle, but he did not go to the workshop. Instead, he returned to the factory's family dormitory.
