The next day.
The Sun family.
After Su Ying finished breakfast, Gu Sinian took Su Ying to the brigade leader's house.
Upon entering, I saw Sun Xuelin sitting in the courtyard, neither crying nor laughing, nor making a fuss. He looked like someone who had lost their soul, with a foolish look in his eyes.
No wonder the villagers spread such nasty rumors; Sun Xuelin really does look like a fool.
What exactly is in the basement?
To scare a normal man like this.
This piqued her curiosity, but no matter how hard she tried, Gu Sinian acted as if he hadn't heard her and didn't mention the basement at all.
Is it really that scary?
She's practically a doctor.
She nudged Gu Sinian's chest with her elbow, covered her mouth with her hand, and muttered, "You guys must have gone into the basement that day, right? What was in there that scared people like that?"
"I've heard there are quite a few cases like this at the hospital? Is that true?"
Gu Sinian pinched Su Ying's cheek. "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about. It's not suitable for pregnant women to hear. It's too bloody and cruel."
Is it really that scary?
"Of course... I couldn't help but throw up... even the police officers at the station couldn't help but throw up all at once... I won't tell you... I'm afraid of scaring you... your pregnancy isn't stable yet, I'm afraid something might happen."
He gripped Su Ying's shoulders with both hands, "Can we please stop bringing up these disgusting things?"
Su Ying nodded. She hadn't expected the truth to be like this, so she decided not to ask any more questions.
Even seasoned police officers couldn't bear to watch such scenes... so she decided not to get involved.
When Chen Cuie saw her husband return unharmed yesterday, she hugged him and cried her heart out...
But after crying, she realized that her husband seemed to have gone mad, always wearing the same expression.
She neither cries, laughs, nor makes a fuss; she's just like a robot without any expression.
But... she was already content...
My father-in-law said that many people are already gone, and even their bodies are... pitted and scarred...
Today, being pregnant, she couldn't bring herself to describe those disgusting images.
She didn't sleep all night after her father-in-law said that yesterday. She couldn't eat dinner and felt nauseous until morning, so she didn't eat breakfast either.
She had just finished feeding her husband breakfast and was washing the dishes when she returned to find Su Ying and Gu Sinian standing at the door.
"Why did you come here? Have you had breakfast?"
Gu Sinian and Su Ying nodded in unison, "We've already eaten."
Chen Cuie opened the wooden gate in the courtyard and beckoned people to come in.
"Come in quickly."
After the two entered, Chen Cuie poured them two glasses of water. They took a sip and then put the glasses down.
“My father-in-law told me last night that my husband is still alive thanks to you two. If you ever need our help in the future, just let us know.”
"I will definitely help you if I can, and I will not make excuses."
"Sister-in-law, you flatter me."
The two chatted back and forth, while Su Ying looked around boredly, not seeing the captain.
"By the way, Sister Cui'e... where's the brigade leader?"
Chen Cuie sighed, "He's gone to call a meeting with the villagers."
"What meeting? We haven't heard anything about a meeting."
"It's nothing major. The Bai family members are all important talents in Willow Tree Village. They usually take care of the fruit trees on the mountain, and also manage the vegetable greenhouses. Recently, they've also been guiding the digging of fish ponds. They're incredibly busy, and we've all seen it."
“Nothing major in the village usually doesn’t bother the Bai family.”
Su Ying nodded, "I see... Just as Sister Cui'e said, the Bai family has been extremely busy lately, leaving early and returning late."
Even their meals were prepared and delivered to them by their eldest sister; they only ate breakfast and dinner at home.
Now that you mention it, I am indeed very busy.
"So what's the reason for this meeting? Is it to call a meeting of the villagers?"
"We'll select new tractor drivers to handle deliveries... and also procurement work."
Su Ying pointed to Sun Xuelin, who was sitting not far away, lost in thought and expressionless.
"Isn't this Comrade Sun's job? What should Comrade Sun do about selecting a new tractor driver?"
Whenever this is mentioned, Chen Cuie feels as if her heart has been ripped out.
Her husband is such an outstanding man, now she has to help him with his three meals a day and his personal hygiene.
It's heartbreaking to think about.
"There's nothing we can do about it. My husband is in such a state that he needs to be fed. How can he drive a tractor to deliver goods? This is a matter of life and death for our Willow Tree Village, so we can't be careless."
Speaking of this, Chen Cuie was still a little embarrassed, "During this time... I still need to trouble Comrade Gu to help with the delivery."
“He’s not from Willow Village after all. It’s already a lot of trouble for him to help deliver goods for a while. My father-in-law said that we should train a tractor driver as soon as possible so that Comrade Gu won’t have to get up early to deliver goods.”
"I originally invited you to come back as guests, but I didn't expect to trouble you. I'm really sorry."
"It's alright. Those who are capable should do more."
Gu Sinian knew, of course, that it wasn't time to deliver yet. He was thinking of accompanying his wife over so they could deliver the goods later.
He turned to his wife and said, "After you finish your work, you can't go back alone. Let Comrade Chen take you home."
Before Su Ying could speak, Chen Cuie assured her, "Don't worry. I know she's pregnant, and I will definitely take her back to you."
"Thank you, Comrade Chen."
"You're too kind. We should be the ones saying thank you."
Su Ying hated seeing this kind of scene the most. After all this thanking, she said, "Let's go quickly. Don't delay the important matters in the village."
After Gu Sinian left, Su Ying explained the purpose of her visit that day.
"What! You say you can cure my man's illness? Is that true?"
Su Ying nodded, "It can be cured, but are you comfortable letting me treat it?"
Chen Cuie nodded without hesitation, took Su Ying's hand and patted it.
"Of course I believe you. I've already witnessed your medical skills."
Completely bewildered, Su Ying stared straight at Chen Cuie, not understanding what she meant.
"You forgot, you prescribed me some medicine a while ago."
This reminder brought back memories for Su Ying.
"Oh, is that so? But the medicine I prescribed has only been on for a few days, and it's already working?"
Chen Cuie nodded. "I took the medicine for a few days, and it just so happened that I had my period. This time, I didn't have any pain. I know it must be the effect of the medicine you prescribed."
"so……"
“I agree to let you treat my husband. If you weren’t confident, you wouldn’t have come to me.”
Su Ying looked at Chen Cuie in surprise. Although she was illiterate, she was very clever.
Unlike other ignorant women who would question her medical skills or ask her for her medical license.
"Don't blame me for being petty first and then being honest, I don't have a medical license."
