Jiang Yue and Gu Ye did not arrive at the hospital until around five in the afternoon. Uncle Lin underwent emergency surgery the day after he was sent there. After nearly a week of recovery, he is now able to eat and is in good spirits.
"Girl, look at you, I'm an old man and you still go to so much trouble to save me, it's a waste of money!" When Uncle Lin saw Jiang Yue and Gu Ye coming in, his mouth with only one tooth left was sunken, and tears flowed from his turbid eyes.
But Uncle Lin was just saying this, in fact his face and heart were filled with gratitude.
Uncle Lin's nephew was also filled with gratitude towards Jiang Yue. If Gu Ye had not quickly supported him, he would have almost kneeled down.
"Thank you so much, girl. The doctor said if you had come two days later, even gods wouldn't have been able to save you!"
"Don't be polite to me!" Jiang Yue actually felt a little guilty. The calligraphy and paintings she bought back from Uncle Lin by the pound, although they looked ordinary now, would appreciate dozens, hundreds or even tens of millions of times in the future, not to mention the Yuan blue and white porcelain that was sold at a sky-high price.
If these treasures are worthless from today's perspective, the small yellow croakers found in the yellow pear wood table are real hard currency.
Jiang Yue got these through Uncle Lin, and she has been struggling with whether to give half of them to Uncle Lin.
Emotions told her to score, but reason prevented her from acting on impulse.
"Although Uncle Lin and I have known each other for a short time, we get along very well. Now that I know he is ill, it is my duty to help him to the best of my ability!" Jiang Yue placed the supplements he had specially bought on the bedside.
"Girl, I, with my old bones, have no way of repaying your great kindness!" Uncle Lin struggled to get up.
"Uncle, please take good care of yourself. I'm still waiting for you to help me collect calligraphy and paintings!" Jiang Yue hurriedly pressed Uncle Lin's shoulder gently and said a half-joking remark, which made Uncle Lin smile with his mouth that only had one tooth left.
"Girl, you only picked up books and paintings when you came to the scrap yard for the first time. I knew you were a studious person!" Uncle Lin looked at Jiang Yue with gratitude and appreciation.
Jiang Yue felt a little ashamed. It was true that she loved studying, but she often went to the scrap yard to look for books, not for studying, but for making money in the future!
But she couldn't say it out loud, so she could only nod.
Uncle Lin was hospitalized by the doctor contacted by Gu Ye. Gu Ye went to see Director Wang to ask about Uncle Lin's condition, and came back to tell Jiang Yue that Uncle Lin would be able to be discharged in three days.
Uncle Lin and his nephew Liu Da were very happy at the thought of going home.
Although Liu Da is the nephew of Uncle Lin's deceased wife, he is still very filial to Uncle Lin. This time, he put aside his housework and accompanied Uncle Lin to the provincial capital for medical treatment.
When he heard Jiang Yue say that Uncle Lin's house was too shabby, he immediately said that he would take Uncle Lin to live in his own home.
Before leaving, Jiang Yue secretly gave Liu Da twenty yuan.
"This, this is not possible. Captain Gu has already paid for our hospitalization. We can't ask you for more money!" Liu Da refused to take it.
"Take it. You need to eat here, so buy something delicious!" Jiang Yue stuffed the money into Liu Da's hand.
She actually wanted to give more, but they were not related, and Uncle Lin and Liu Da were simple and honest people. Giving too much would most likely increase their psychological burden.
Moreover, it is not safe for them to have too much money when they go out.
This era may seem peaceful, but in fact there are many thieves and bullies!
When they came out of the hospital, it was already dark. Jiang Yue and Gu Ye went to Lian Rongrong's place to pick up Ningning, and took Ningning and Lian Rongrong back to Qingshan County in one car.
At that time, when the Han family heard that their men had not found Gu Ye, Han Chengren had a stern face and looked very gloomy.
"They must have beaten someone up and then ran away! No, Yaoyao and Lulu can't take these slaps in vain! We must find those three people! Can my Hao Fugui's precious granddaughter be bullied by just any cat or dog? Those people's hands must be chopped off!"
The person who spoke was a skinny old man with gray hair. He had a pair of hawk-like eyes and a downward-bending hooked nose. When he got angry, no one around him dared to speak.
"Dad, don't be angry. Be careful about your blood pressure getting high again!" Hao Qian helped Hao Fugui with his back.
"Qianqian, is the captain surnamed Gu the one that Yaoyao likes? You just said that the family member surnamed Gu opened a clothing store in the city? Is it the one that has been doing good business recently?" asked Hao Fugui.
"Yes, it's that family!" Hao Qian frowned. When she thought of her precious daughter being beaten, she felt heartbroken and hated those who beat her. She wished she could catch them immediately and teach them a lesson herself.
"Hmph, he's quite smart! But it's a pity that he's unlucky and offended someone they can't afford to offend!" Hao Fugui sneered.
"We can't find those people now. I don't know if they ran away. I heard that Gu Ye is serving as a soldier in Qingshan County!" Hao Qian said with a gloomy face.
"No matter where he is serving in the army, he beat my precious granddaughter. Even if he runs to the ends of the earth, I will catch him and chop off his hands and feet!" Hao Fugui's eyes were sinister, and he leaned his crutches hard on the carpet.
"Dad, we can't be so careless about this matter. Gu Ye has already become a regimental-level cadre at such a young age. He must have some background!" Han Chengren still had some rationality. It was true that the Hao family was powerful in the provincial capital, but Gu Ye was in the army and was the commander of a field regiment. If they rashly went to cause trouble, they would definitely get nothing good.
However, Hao Fugui was used to being domineering, so he would not listen to Han Chengren's words. Instead, he scolded Han Chengren, "Han Yao and Han Lu have a father like you, no wonder they were slapped in public!"
After saying that, Hao Fugui stood up, went upstairs with the help of Hao Qian, and went into Han Lu's room first.
"Lulu, why are you still crying? Stop crying, okay? Grandpa has already sent people to catch those people. Once they are caught, I will hand them over to you to deal with them, okay?" Hao Fugui saw that both sides of Han Lu's face were swollen. She had been crying for the whole afternoon and her eyes were swollen like peaches. He felt so distressed.
"Why haven't those three guys been caught yet! Grandpa, didn't you say that we could catch them right away?" Han Lu was slapped twice in public today. She lost face and suffered a great loss. She kept crying when she came back and was still crying until dark.
"It's almost there, we'll catch them soon!" Hao Fugui coaxed Han Lu.
Han Lu wiped the tears from her face, and a fierce look flashed in her red and swollen eyes. "Bring that woman to me immediately after you catch her! I'm going to slash her vixen face to pieces! She looks so coquettish, isn't it because of that face that she attracts men! I'm going to slash her face to pieces, and see if she can still be so arrogant!"
"Okay, okay, scratch that woman's face. As long as our Lulu is happy, scratch her whole face!" Seeing that Han Lu stopped crying, Hao Fugui went to Han Yao's room next door with peace of mind.
"Yaoyao, why are you sitting there in a daze? Does your face still hurt?" Hao Fugui felt so distressed when he saw Han Yao sitting in front of the window in a daze with her eyes staring straight ahead.
"Grandpa, Gu Ye hit me!" Han Yao still refuses to believe that Gu Ye beat her in public just because she cursed that woman. He hit her so hard that he almost knocked her down. She felt extremely humiliated.
