Chapter 69: Keepsake Handkerchief
"What happened?"
Ye Qing was very puzzled. Wasn't he going to the Kwantung Army Fortress? Why did he come down so quickly?
Hao Shaofeng had a sullen face and said nothing. He just got into the car and started the engine.
Gu Weidong opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, gritting his teeth and uttering a few words with difficulty:
"There's a row of labs hidden inside!"
He couldn't say the rest.
Because of the inhumane and horrific scenes inside, even though he was looking in through the window, he felt the blood flowing backwards through his body and rage roaring deep in his soul.
The atrocities that filled those rooms and all the evidence left behind are like silent roars and shouts, constantly reminding the survivors on this land that blood debt must be paid with blood!
After hearing the word "laboratory", Ye Qing immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
Her face turned pale immediately.
There was no need to ask any more questions. She knew why Gu Weidong and Hao Shaofeng were suppressing their anger, and she also knew why they hurried down the mountain and drove to the commune.
These are important evidences left over from history and must be properly preserved. Even though the country is now in decline, the hatred engraved in the bones must not be easily buried and forgotten!
The better the situation becomes in the future, the more every Xia citizen needs to look through these evidences, face up to and remember this humiliating history!
Because only by remembering this suffering and how our ancestors endured these painful years can the younger generations avoid being careless and repeating the same mistakes, leaving the invaders with the opportunity to make a comeback!
Gu Weidong and Hao Shaofeng drove out quickly and headed straight towards the commune.
It was already around eight o'clock in the evening, almost nine. Because Wu Yongbing had followed the troops into the mountains and had not come out again, all the villagers gathered at the end of the village.
Some were there to get information, others were there to watch the row of heavy-duty armored vehicles. Everyone was whispering to each other, wanting to know why so many soldiers had come to Kaoshantun, and what had happened in the back mountain.
Many people came to Ye Qing to inquire about the situation.
However, no matter who came to ask, Ye Qing said that she only led the way into the cabin in the mountains to find Gu Weidong, and she didn't know anything else.
It was true that she had never been to the fortress, and she had no idea what was hidden inside, so she was not lying.
Because Hao Shaofeng mentioned it to the old branch secretary when he ran back from the fields in the afternoon, he roughly guessed what had happened.
But after Gu Weidong and Hao Shaofeng went into the mountains, they came down and ran to the commune in a hurry with serious expressions. The old branch secretary knew that the situation inside was probably not good.
For fear of getting into trouble, he dared not say anything nonsense, and he didn't even dare to reveal a word to his family.
People in the village were scratching their heads and trying their best to find out the inside story, while Gu Weidong and Hao Shaofeng rushed to the commune and anxiously called their superiors.
After the situation was reported to the group, the news quickly reached the highest level.
The top leaders were also shocked when they received the news and immediately issued instructions, requiring all ministries to arrange relevant personnel to go to Jiaotan County as quickly as possible to handle the emergency.
The Cultural Relics Protection Bureau, the Ministry of Health, the Institute of Biology, the Intelligence and Archives Bureau, the Military Combat Readiness Material Bureau, the Propaganda Department, and major newspapers, as long as they have branch offices and are relatively close to Jiaotan County, basically all received emergency calls from their superiors in the middle of the night.
The instructions on the phone required all units to immediately dispatch the nearest relevant staff to Changbai Mountain for work support. The integrity of all types of physical evidence in the fortress must be ensured at all costs. What can be retrieved must be retrieved and what can be archived must be archived. In short, all the evidence inside must be returned to the National Archives without missing a single piece!
After the phone call, Hao Shaofeng and Gu Weidong did not stay in the commune for too long.
But such a big thing happened, an 8.0 magnitude earthquake was about to happen. If Jiaotan County didn't hear any news at all, then these local government units would have no place to work.
So, not long after Gu Weidong and Hao Shaofeng returned to the mountain, people came to Kaoshantun one after another.
There is no need to mention Lai Guochang. When Gu Weidong and Hao Shaofeng came back, he came here with them by car.
An hour later, the county government office, the county public security bureau, and the county cultural relics bureau were the first to receive the news and rushed over quickly. Not long after, Zhao Jinliang and Qiao Youqing also received instructions from their superiors and came to Kaoshantun to support the work here.
Car after car drove into Kaoshantun, filling up the not-so-big village. Although these people who came to support did not make any noise, the village was as bright as day when illuminated by the car lights. How could the men, women, and children in the village sleep?
With so many people coming, even if they didn't know what had happened, the villagers in the village knew that it must be a big deal. They became more and more anxious and wanted to rush up the mountain to get first-hand information.
But these days all cars are buses, so the identities of the people entering the village are self-evident. With so many people from government agencies rushing in one after another, the atmosphere is extremely tense and solemn. The villagers of Kaoshantun still have some brains, and apart from quietly hiding behind their own windows and spying, no one dares to come out and cause trouble at this time.
At the Zou family's side, Grandma Zou and Wang Chunhua also did not sleep.
Perhaps because they were at home together every day, and because they both cared about taking care of the abandoned baby girl, after a few days of slowly getting to know each other, they actually got along pretty well.
After the two of them coaxed the little girl to sleep, they all went to the main room to watch the excitement.
Grandma Zou was knowledgeable, but she couldn't see what was happening outside. Wang Chunhua could see it, but she had grown up in the countryside and had never seen such a battle. So one of them watched and described it, while the other analyzed it seriously, telling Wang Chunhua which units the people were from and what they were doing.
All in all, the two of them were enjoying the excitement and were so excited that they had no time to sleep.
Anyway, they had nothing to do during the day so they could catch up on their sleep, so Ye Qing ignored them.
After she came back from the mountain, she never went to mix again.
Especially after learning from Gu Weidong what was in the mountain, she was left with only hatred and respect for the fortress and dared not to cross the line again.
Moreover, such a big commotion was caused, which showed that the higher-ups took the matter very seriously. With so many people involved, they would surely be able to properly handle the things in the base. There was no need for her to get involved and make a splash at this time. She should just stay at home and make medicine.
As it happened, everyone was paying attention to the incident in the back mountain at the moment, and no one was paying attention to the small medicinal garden she had newly built in her backyard. This instead gave Ye Qing the opportunity to do something secretly.
So when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she quietly planted a few ginseng plants and a few red ganoderma lucidum in a corner of the medicine garden, and stopped when the medication standards were met.
Dig up and pick as much ginseng and ganoderma as possible, dry them, grind them into powder, and then simmer them in a clay pot over low heat.
Finally, she added the maltose and flour she had made earlier and mixed them together, then rolled them into small, bean-sized pills.
Using the same method, Ye Qing boiled several other Chinese medicine prescriptions and made them into pills.
Then put the pills in butter paper bags, package them carefully and tie them up tightly, and write down the corresponding diseases and dosage instructions of the pills one by one.
These pills are made according to three months' supply. Three months is enough time for both sides to communicate with each other and have a little understanding of each other's situation.
By then, after Ye Qing has a more detailed understanding of the master's symptoms, he can adjust the treatment method according to the situation and prescribe more appropriate medicine.
But for now, Ye Qing can only do this for the time being. He will send some mild tonic medicine that will not hurt the internal organs to his master to see if it works. At least it is much better than doing nothing.
Making medicine is a time-consuming and hard job. By the time Ye Qing finished making the pills, it was already dawn outside.
It was during this period of time that many units received the news and rushed to Kaoshantun overnight. After this group of people gathered in Kaoshantun, Hao Shaofeng coordinated and deployed them, and then they were led into the mountains by Gu Weidong.
At the same time, Zhao Jinliang also urgently dispatched a group of volunteers from the army's farm construction corps to set up a cordon at the foot of the mountain in the nearby area and blocked all entrances to the mountain, with a guard post every ten steps and a sentry every fifty steps to ensure that no one would sneak into the mountain to cause trouble during the chaos.
The sight of so many regular army soldiers armed with live ammunition standing guard at the foot of the mountain frightened everyone in the village.
"Oh my goodness, what on earth is going on? It's so fussy, it makes people feel uneasy."
Meng Jia, who came to report to Ye Qing as usual in the morning, couldn't help but start muttering.
Gu Weinan also chimed in: "That's right. Last night, many leading experts came. They were all brought into the mountain by my brother. My mother quickly locked me and my brother in the closet and didn't let us go out to ask. This is too scary. Master, can you tell me a little bit? What's going on in the mountain? Are there any explosive bows hidden? Could it be atomic bows?"
Ye Qing was so annoyed by Gu Weinan's nonsense that he wanted to roll his eyes:
"Listen to what you are saying. Do you think what you said is true?"
"Stop making up stories and spreading rumors. I'm telling you, that's how rumors spread! Don't take my words lightly. If fake news spreads everywhere and someone comes to your door, don't blame me for not warning you in advance!"
Gu Weinan immediately shrank his neck, quickly closed his mouth, and dared not to make random guesses anymore.
In the absence of Captain Wu, only the old branch secretary and other village cadres organized everyone to go to the fields to harvest corn. However, during the fight in the village, everyone was busy chatting and had low enthusiasm for work, which made the old branch secretary and other cadres of the production team so angry that they cursed and wanted to whip these bastards.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long. Around three or four in the afternoon, people started coming down from the mountain one after another.
The group of soldiers that Hao Shaofeng had brought into the mountains before came out in twos and threes, carrying boxes or shouldering shoulders. The things they brought out were basically covered with cloth or straw, so outsiders could not tell what was inside.
Hundreds of soldiers went in and out more than a dozen times to move the things inside. It took them two days and one night to move all the things inside. The dozens of heavy trucks and armored vehicles were all filled up.
At around nine o'clock in the evening of the third day, the armored vehicles started to move out, turning around in an orderly manner and evacuating the evidence cleanly and quickly, leaving only the black exhaust fumes lingering in Kaoshantun.
The temporary expert groups that came to support the work also left one after another, and Zhao Jinliang also withdrew the sentry post. Kaoshantun seemed to have returned to its former tranquility.
Hao Shaofeng hasn't left yet.
All the strategic materials and evidence in the fortress have been organized and registered. He will not be needed for subsequent matters. It is a headache for the higher-ups to decide which unit should take over. As a political commissar of a special forces regiment, he has no right to manage those matters.
What he should take care of are the soldiers under his command.
Gu Weidong's trip back to his hometown caused such a big fuss, Hao Shaofeng was really unconvinced.
"Your luck is unstoppable. I didn't expect that after returning to Tun to recuperate, I could earn myself several third- and second-class merits!"
It's only been half a month since this kid came back from Shanghai, but he's been causing trouble one after another, alarming the higher-ups several times.
The regiment was not involved in the poppy powder incident, but Gu Weidong led soldiers from the neighboring Qingshan Military Farm to investigate the poppy fields and arrest people in Mapipo, and Zhao Jinliang did not take credit for his contribution and reported the situation seriously.
Although the case is still under intensive investigation and no final conclusion has been made on Gu Weidong's contribution, the team has already received the news.
Several regiment leaders held a meeting to discuss the case and felt that the case was of great significance and that Gu Weidong's contribution could not be ignored.
The regiment could not remain silent about this NCO who selflessly rushed to the front line despite being injured and made outstanding contributions, so the regiment finally agreed that one of the deputy battalion commander's promotion rank quotas this year should be reserved for Gu Weidong.
That is, three days ago, before Gu Weidong called the regiment to report the incident at the Guandong Army Fortress, Hao Shaofeng got the approval letter for Gu Weidong's promotion to deputy battalion commander. The application had been stuck for about a month, but after several twists and turns, it was finally approved smoothly.
Hao Shaofeng was just about to contact Gu Weidong to tell him the good news, but who knew that Gu Weidong did not calm down at all and actually caused him a bigger fight than the previous poppy powder incident.
In the last poppy powder incident, it was Ye Qing who discovered the key problem, so even though Gu Weidong participated, he was only assisting in the investigation and his contribution was quite limited.
But this time, the matter of the Kwantung Army Fortress was different. The whole process was led by Gu Weidonglai. He was quite a leader and was very good at organizing and mobilizing personnel from all parties. The whole cleaning and moving process was meticulous and orderly. With this guy as the backbone to coordinate, the cleaning work was completed so quickly and safely.
It can be said that after this incident, Hao Shaofeng looked at Gu Weidong with a new respect, and even had the illusion that he had gotten to know this guy again.
He always felt that, starting from the mission in Shencheng, this kid had become different from before. He seemed to be more calm and reserved, and his aura was stronger. However, his brain seemed to have opened up, becoming wise and alert, making him hard to understand.
However, no matter how powerful he became, in Hao Shaofeng's eyes, this kid was still his soldier. He could beat him or scold him whenever he wanted. Just like now, as soon as he got down the mountain, he pulled off his hat and spanked the kid on the butt:
"You are really risking your life. That's a gas chamber. Others wouldn't dare to go in when they see the skull and crossbones logo. Only you are trying to be a hero. If something goes wrong with that thing, would you still be alive?"
Gu Weidong smiled and said, "If I don't go up, someone else will have to go up. Then the lives of the other soldiers won't matter, right?"
Anyway, he has already lived a lifetime, and every day he lives longer is well earned.
"It's not like I didn't use my brain. I was wearing a gas mask, didn't you see? And I carefully observed before entering, and basically eliminated the risks before opening the door. How could it be as serious as you say?"
Hao Shaofeng was angry that this kid rushed forward without even asking for his opinion. He was afraid that this kid would do anything to gain merit. After all, it was not the first time that this kid did this. He did the same thing last time in Shencheng. It was so dangerous when he was sent to the hospital that Hao Shaofeng was left with psychological trauma.
"Although you are a fierce general of our regiment, as the political commissar I certainly hope that you can do more meritorious deeds to bring honor to our regiment commander, but I hope you can understand one thing clearly."
"There are many capable people in this world. Don't act as if this country can't function without you. You have to adjust your mindset. It's very dangerous to play the role of individual heroism. Do you understand?"
Political Commissar Hao pointed out Gu Weidong’s problems very sharply.
Gu Weidong was stunned, and then a bitter smile appeared on his face.
Political Commissar Hao was right. Perhaps because he was reborn, he always wanted to make use of his advantages as quickly as possible, racing against time and trying to gain the upper hand step by step.
But in this way, he seemed to be a little too impatient. He was always worried that these things would get out of control without his participation. To outsiders, it seemed like he was deliberately trying to show off.
As the saying goes, those in power are confused, while those who are not involved see things clearly. Before this, Gu Weidong had no idea that something was wrong with his condition. But after being reminded by Political Commissar Hao, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart and began to reflect.
Hao Shaofeng saw Gu Weidong's expression and knew that the boy had taken his words to heart, so he felt relieved:
"I'm not asking you to back down when faced with difficulties. We are soldiers, and we must be brave when necessary and live up to the uniform we wear. Otherwise, why would the people trust us?"
"But you have only been out of the hospital for a short time, and your body has not fully recovered yet. As long as you have a life, you will never worry about lack of firewood. We can plan and act cautiously, but we must not act rashly without thinking!"
As he spoke, Political Commissar Hao took out a folded square piece of paper from his inner pocket and handed it to Gu Weidong.
"Did you remember it, Captain Gu?"
Gu Weidong sensed something was wrong from Hao Shaofeng's half-smiley teasing, and hurriedly took the paper and opened it to read.
After seeing the row of "agreement" signed by various leaders on the regularization certificate and the big red stamp at the bottom, Gu Weidong couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
"Recover your health in the village and stop torturing me. When your sick leave is over in half a month, remember to take this certificate to the regiment to complete the formal formalization procedures, and then go for training. After all, after you are formalized, your monthly allowance will increase significantly."
Hao Shaofeng patted Gu Weidong on the shoulder. Thinking of the incident at the Kwantung Army Fortress, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Last time you joked with me in the hospital, saying that you would make a three-year grade jump in five years after completing these two years of advanced training. At that time I thought you were just daydreaming, but now it seems that this goal is not impossible to achieve."
Gu Weidong smiled, turned around silently, and took out the structural drawing of the Desert Eagle that he had drawn after discussing it with Ye Qing last time from his room, and handed it to Hao Shaofeng:
"What if we add this?"
Hao Shaofeng was stunned and lowered his head to take the drawing. After seeing the design drawing and the various related parameters clearly, his heart trembled and his eyes almost popped out.
"Where did you get this?"
Gu Weidong did not hide anything:
"I drew it myself, but it's not my original idea. This thing is being vigorously developed by the United States and Israel. I secretly got the design drawings and related data from someone I asked for help."
"As for who I'm looking for, don't worry about it. Anyway, the data I provided and the structural diagram are definitely correct. The problem is that some core data is missing."
"My ability is limited, and this is the best I can do. The rest will have to be figured out by our own firearms experts. Do you think this blueprint can be used? If so, hand it in. If not, I'll keep it for my own amusement."
When Hao Shaofeng heard that Gu Weidong wanted to stay, he immediately became anxious, fearing that Gu Weidong would snatch it back. He quickly rolled up the drawing and stuffed it into his chest pocket impatiently:
"It works. It works really well. Once I hand this thing over, it will definitely shock those guys above me!"
"You kid, if you don't say anything, then you're going to shock people. You must have been hiding this blueprint for a long time, waiting for this opportunity, right? You are really scheming, aren't you? I see you don't want to make a three-level jump in five years, you want to sit on my head and shit in five years, right?"
Hao Shaofeng said these words of disdain, but his eyes were full of smiles, and it was obvious that he was happy for Gu Weidong from the bottom of his heart, and he even hoped that all the soldiers under his command would have a bright future.
If all the guys in the group knew what they wanted like Gu Weidong and had the ability to plan, he and Xu Tuan would have to save themselves a lot of worries.
Unfortunately, he could only think about this matter in his heart. If everyone could be as evil as Gu Weidong, then it would not be his and Xu Tuan's turn to take over this special forces corps.
"I'll take this drawing. Don't worry, Xu Tuan and I will do our best to help you get it. We will definitely not let you hand over this drawing in vain!"
Gu Weidong was waiting to hear Hao Shaofeng say this. With the approval of the political commissar, he had nothing to worry about.
In the county steel mill, promotion and salary increase depend on flattery and the connections behind the scenes.
But the army is different. Compared with other social units, it is simpler and there is not so much intrigue. If soldiers want to move up, most of the time they rely on actual combat capabilities and meritorious performance. As long as they are willing to endure hardships and have strong physical fitness, they basically don't have to worry about being buried.
So after Political Commissar Hao said this, Gu Weidong felt relieved.
The Kwantung Army Fortress plus the blueprint of the Desert Eagle are of great importance. Not to mention that it will allow him to achieve a step-up in rank immediately, at least after he returns from two years of further studies, he will definitely have a place on the list of deputy commanders in the regiment.
Thinking of this, Gu Weidong expressed his gratitude to Ye Qing from the bottom of his heart. Since his rebirth, this girl has been helping him all the way. She is simply his destined benefactor.
"I forgot to ask, during the time you returned to Kaoshantun, you seemed to get along quite well with Ye Zhiqing next door. Do you know much about that girl?"
Hao Shaofeng suddenly changed the subject and asked about Ye Qing.
Gu Weidong knew that Ye Qing came from the end of the world. When he heard Hao Shaofeng ask this, he immediately became alert and couldn't help asking:
"Why are you asking this? The girl is very good. She is a skilled doctor with a kind heart. She treats villagers and city dwellers equally. She is also determined to contribute to rural medicine. You can't find a more idealistic and independent female comrade than her. Don't try to take advantage of her and take the initiative to investigate behind her back."
Hao Shaofeng originally wanted to find out whether Gu Weidong had any feelings for Ye Zhiqing and whether the two of them had any signs of developing into a couple, but he didn't expect that the guy would defend her as soon as he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to do something to the girl.
Hao Shaofeng: "Am I that kind of person? And she has made up her mind to be a doctor in your village, and I can't get her to be a female soldier in the regiment. Why should I investigate her for no reason?"
Gu Weidong immediately sensed something else in these words and narrowed his eyes:
"You are impressed by Ye Qing's flying needles and medical skills. Do you want her to join the army and serve as a special forces soldier in our regiment?"
Hao Shaofeng was furious. Did this kid have to be so good at finding the key loopholes in his words?
He had indeed thought so before, but the problem was that the little girl was not interested in being a soldier. What could he do? He couldn't force her to sign up for the army, could he? So he could only find another way to save the country.
Hao Shaofeng was quick-witted. Since Ye Qing didn't want to be a soldier, it didn't matter. She could still join the army. As long as this girl became a military wife, she would have to report to their regiment sooner or later. At that time, he and Tuan Xu would have the final say on how to arrange for the soldiers' families.
Thinking of this, Hao Shaofeng couldn't help but look at Gu Weidong, hinting:
"Do you know if that little girl has a lover in the city? What kind of person is she looking for? There are so many gay men in our group, all kinds of people. If she wants to find a partner, I can introduce her to someone."
Gu Weidong glanced sideways at Hao Shaofeng and said coldly:
"As a military wife, you spend less time together and more time apart. Why does she want to find a soldier instead of a good man? Besides, our group is full of straight men, none of them know how to love their wives. How can they be worthy of a gifted girl like me?"
"I advise you not to think of this. If you want to be a matchmaker, you should find someone else. Ye Zhiqing is still young. Even if he wants to find a partner, it will take at least a few years, okay?"
Moreover, Gu Weidong had already seen that the girl was just like him, only focused on her career and had not much idea about marriage. Otherwise, she would not have picked up an abandoned baby on the street and prepared to adopt the baby herself. It was obvious that she was planning to give up the idea of starting a family in Kaoshantun.
Gu Weidong came from the 1990s. Although the group of people who do not want to marry was not very large at that time, this concept had already begun to emerge.
Moreover, by the 1990s, divorce was no longer shocking news. Divorce and remarriage were becoming more and more common in cities, and marriage relationships were no longer as unbreakable as they used to be.
Gu Weidong himself had endured eighteen years of torture in his marriage, so after he was reborn, he was ready to be a bachelor for the rest of his life. So Ye Qing's decision not to get married just happened to coincide with his idea, and he could also understand Ye Qing's reluctance to get married.
After all, for souls like them who have come from the afterlife, it is extremely difficult to find a soul mate who is completely compatible with them in this era.
So at this moment, when Gu Weidong heard that Hao Shaofeng wanted to introduce someone to Ye Qing, he immediately felt that Ye Qing would definitely not like this, and it might even cause trouble to her, so he subconsciously wanted to stop it for the girl.
However, Gu Weidong's behavior, which seemed like "protecting food", caused Hao Shaofeng to misunderstand instantly.
He felt that Gu Weidong was a dishonest boy.
It was obvious that he had fallen in love with the girl, but he still pretended to be a gentleman and used such high-sounding words to fool him, saying that the girl was too young and he should wait a few years before finding a partner. It was all nonsense.
In his opinion, Gu Weidong was actually worried that he would have to go to another province for further studies for two years and would not be able to keep a close eye on this girl, so he deliberately talked about all these nonsense, so that those who coveted Ye Qing would be more restrained, lest the girl be snatched away by some other big bad wolf while he was away from Kaoshantun!
Thinking of this, Hao Shaofeng couldn't help but reveal a hint of ambiguity and understanding in his eyes when he looked at Gu Weidong.
Well, if you are not allowed to say it, then don't say it. Anyway, no matter whether it is Gu Weidong or anyone else in the regiment, as long as the girl marries into the army, it will not be considered as keeping the wealth within the family. Once she becomes a military wife and follows the army, won't the girl fall into his hands again?
"Okay, then go for it!"
Before Hao Shaofeng got into the car to leave, he suddenly clenched his fist and encouraged Gu Weidong, and uttered such a nonsensical sentence.
Gu Weidong just felt puzzled and had no idea that Hao Shaofeng had come up with such a melodramatic drama just because of his few words.
After the matter at the Kwantung Army Fortress was resolved, Gu Weidong no longer lived in the cabin in the mountains.
Mancang's injuries had been healed directly a few days ago after Ye Qing's supernatural powers were upgraded, and he didn't need to stay by his side to change the dressings, so he returned to the village.
However, in the past two days, he led the soldiers to work non-stop in the mountains to transport strategic materials from the base warehouse, so the "improvement" of his leg was naturally noticed by Captain Wu Yongbing.
So when he returned to the village, he didn't feel comfortable pretending to be lame anymore, and soon the news that his leg was healed began to spread in the village again.
When Wu Yueying learned that Gu Weidong was not lame, she couldn't believe her ears.
"This is impossible. His leg was shot, the meniscus in his knee was damaged, and treatment was delayed. It should be impossible to cure it. How could it be healed?"
Ever since she had a big fight with Wu Yongbing at the village entrance last time, Wu Yueying ran away to her grandmother's house and lived there for a while.
But her grandmother's family had not yet split up, so when she lived there there was one more person to eat. Plus, she was a lazy glutton. She would sit at the table at mealtime every day and wouldn't even clean up the dishes after dinner. She didn't help with housework and was picky about the food. So the three aunts were unhappy and always blamed her for other people's faults. They bullied her openly and covertly, and they almost pointed at her and scolded her for being a cheat from the previous family.
Wu Yueying couldn't stand the boredom any more, and after enduring it for a few days, she finally couldn't bear it any longer and had a conflict with one of her aunts. Finally, she was so angry that she cried under her uncle's accusation, and she ran back to Kaoshantun in shame.
After these few days, Wu Yongbing's anger subsided a lot. The village was in an uproar because of the Kwantung Army fortress incident, and everyone's attention was focused on the things hidden in the back mountain. No one paid attention to the trivial matters between Wu Yueying and Jian Ming. Therefore, when Wu Yueying returned to Kaoshan Village, she was no longer criticized.
But she had just moved back when she heard a piece of news that shocked her.
Gu Weidong’s leg was actually cured?
The two daughters-in-law of the Wu family were very surprised to see Wu Yueying's reaction.
This sister-in-law is simply incomprehensible. She was the one who looked down on Gu Weidong first, and she was the one who broke off the engagement with Gu Weidong with great effort. Now that his leg has been cured, she is so concerned about Gu Weidong's affairs. I don't know what's wrong with her:
"It's not surprising that she can cure it. Don't forget that we have a miracle doctor in our village. Ye Zhiqing's medical skills are so great. She has cured so many patients since she came here. Gu Weidong's leg is a piece of cake for Ye Zhiqing, isn't it?"
Although the relationship between the Wu family and the Gu family has become strained, that has nothing to do with Ye Qing. Because of their frequent dealings with Wu Yongbing, Wu Cong and Qin Xingzhi, the entire Wu family has now become Ye Chuis, and they admire and respect this new female educated youth from Shencheng.
Even Qin Xingzhi had already started to think of her own little tricks in her mind. She planned to wait until her eldest daughter grew up a little and ask her father-in-law to help mediate and see if she could follow the same path as Gu Weinan and Meng Jia and send the child to Ye Qing as an apprentice.
It’s Ye Qing again!
After being reminded by her two sisters-in-law, Wu Yueying finally remembered that Ye Qing was indeed quite skilled in medicine.
But even so, she never thought that there was a possibility that Gu Weidong's leg could be cured.
After all, she had witnessed the entire process of Gu Weidong seeking medical treatment, and Wu Yueying knew better than anyone how disabled his left leg was.
Who could have thought that something that was sentenced to death by so many hospitals and experts in the previous life would turn around so easily in this life? !
If Gu Weidong's leg was not lame, did that mean that he would not have to retire from the army to work as a security guard in a steel factory? Did that mean that he could continue to serve in the army, and would most likely get a promotion and a raise in the future, becoming a senior officer and someone she could never reach?
Thinking of this, Wu Yueying's face suddenly turned pale and blue, and she couldn't help but feel irritated. She could only constantly prepare herself mentally, comforting herself that it was not so easy to get promoted in the army. Gu Weidong had no background or connections, and he would probably be just a soldier until his death in the army. How could it be so easy for him to climb up to the position of a senior officer?
But Jian Ming is different. He will be taken back to the city by his family soon, and will go abroad after a few years of reform and opening up. When he comes back, he will become a Wall Street elite, with an annual salary of one million and huge wealth. He is the real upper-class nouveau riche, the diamond bachelor that countless people desire but cannot obtain. He is definitely not comparable to Gu Weidong, that poor soldier!
Thinking of this, Wu Yueying secretly hardened her heart.
She came back again not to continue living the dark and miserable life she had in the past, nor would she allow the person she had spent so much effort to plan for to be snatched away so easily!
That bitch Liu Mei, she wouldn't really think that she can keep her status and rest assured just by getting a certificate, right?
Wu Yueying's eyes flashed with deep hatred and malice, and she was determined to snatch Jian Ming back from Liu Mei!
Ye Qing had no idea that Wu Yueying had been secretly planning her plan to steal his husband.
After Gu Weidong came down the mountain, Ye Qing couldn't wait to hand him the medicines she had prepared in advance, and asked him to help find someone to take them to Mohe as soon as possible.
"After something like that, people are very cautious. If you send these things to them, I'm worried that they may not accept them. Even if they accept them, they may not eat them. I think you'd better write a letter or something to let them know who sent them."
Gu Weidong couldn't help but remind him.
What can Ye Qing write? She has never met Han Yabo, and Han Yabo doesn't even know she exists. No matter how much she writes, no one will believe it.
It would be great if she had Song Chunhua's handwritten letter in her hand. The problem was that she had only been in Kaoshantun for too short a time. She had not received a reply from Song Chunhua since she sent a letter back to Shencheng to assure her safety. So she could not produce Song Chunhua's handwriting at all and could only look at these things and feel anxious.
Fortunately, Gu Weidong saw her embarrassment and said at the right time:
"If there is no letter, a token will do. At least he should know that you are one of us after seeing it once."
Ye Qing slapped her forehead suddenly, rummaged through her box, and pulled out a handkerchief.
"This is a handkerchief embroidered by my teacher. The pattern and the word 'Song' on it are very personal. He will definitely know who it belongs to when he takes it to him!"
This handkerchief was used by Song Chunhua to wrap the tickets when she exchanged them for her grain coupons.
On the day Ye Qing left Shencheng, she stuffed the tickets back under the teacher's pillow, except for the handkerchief embroidered by Song Chunhua herself, which she kept as a souvenir.
Gu Weidong nodded, immediately took the handkerchief over, and comforted Ye Qing:
"Don't worry, I'll go to the county right away to find someone. I have a friend who works for a transportation company in the county and often runs the Mohe route. I'll ask him to help take it over. The stuff will be delivered to your master in three days at most!"
