Chapter 220 A Watch
"I was helping out with the medical team, and on my first day there I saw an old lady.
With tattered clothes and messy hair, we looked like pitiful people.
She was lying beside a man's body, crying and howling.
The people who were listening had red eyes, and a little child gave half of the steamed bun he had been given to her.
The man continued sobbing, hiding his heart in his arms, and kept bending over to express his gratitude.
But we couldn't just stand there, so I went to do something. The old lady lay there crying and then left.
I haven't seen him for several days. Guess how he came back?"
He said so much in one breath and kept the audience in suspense.
"Hey, tell me quickly."
He Cuicui was so anxious that she stopped talking halfway through hearing these words. She felt so uncomfortable.
Sister Mei stopped knitting and came over to wait for people to continue talking.
Yan Yue looked outside. It was raining today and no one had come yet.
“The old lady was eventually apprehended by the military; this man was a con man.
When he was caught, both of his arms were covered with watches, a total of 17 of them!
Lin Xiaotong never expected that this old lady had an honest face but did such a terrible thing.
On the surface, she was shouting, "My son, what will I do if you leave me? I won't live anymore."
In fact, she was lying on top of someone with her watch on, crying while secretly putting the watch on her own wrist.
He repeated the same routine 17 times, and even when he was finally caught, he still didn't give up.
She insisted that the item belonged to her son, but was eventually taken away and locked up.
Sister Mei was so angry that her hands were shaking, and she wished she could use the knitting needle to poke holes all over her body.
"It's really heartless. She doesn't even feel hot when she wears this watch!"
He Cuicui's face flushed red: "How can there be such a person, who even cheats children out of their steamed buns!"
"Even at this point, there are still people who act like delinquents. How can such people be worthy of the people who have come all the way here to provide disaster relief?"
Yan Yue was extremely disgusted with such people. Workers from factories all over the country were sent to the front line, not to mention the soldiers who were always at the front line.
Lin Xiaotong also saw the scar on Xie Yi's hand last night. He almost broke his hand when digging the prefabricated board.
"People like this should be fed peanuts or sent to labor camps."
He Cuicui pinched the rice candy ball with her hands and put it into her mouth, chewing it fiercely.
"Of course, it's cheaper to send her to labor camp."
When they got off work at noon, Er Nengzi came to pick up He Cuicui to go to her uncle's house to visit her parents. He Cuicui sat in the back seat and waved to Lin Xiaotong.
"Xiaotong, go home for dinner."
When she went down the stairs, she saw Xie Yi standing next to the old man in the carport, smiling and calling her.
"Hey, here I come."
She sat in the back holding an umbrella while Xie Yi pedaled the bicycle.
"Mom wasn't home at noon. Aunt Big Mouth came back with a leg injury. Mom finished her meal and went to the hospital first."
Gao Xiulan and Yu Afen went together. The relationship between the three gossip groups in the compound is quite close.
"Ah? How is it? Is the injury serious?"
"It's a bit serious. When I accompanied my mother to the hospital, I saw that Aunt Dazui's legs were swollen. Uncle Zhou also rushed there.
"It's a broken bone. I guess it'll take a while to recover. Fortunately, I'm fine."
On weekdays, Zhang Dazui is quite popular in the compound. She is efficient and kind-hearted. Ninety percent of the latest gossip in the compound comes from her.
…
Gao Xiulan didn't come back until noon when she went out, and the rain stopped in the afternoon.
The doors of the Zhou family's house on the west side of the backyard were all closed. Hu Tou was not at home, so Wu Jiabao went to the third uncle's house alone to play with Lie Wazi.
Xie Yi also bought some supplements in the afternoon and went to the hospital.
When I rode my bike out and passed through the puddles on the road in the alley, small splashes of water were made.
She planned to go and take a look after get off work.
He Cuicui also came with her when she got off work. The hospital was the one where Xiao Xue worked.
The two went up to the second floor, and when they came in, there were quite a lot of people in the ward.
There are four people living in this ward, and the patient in the bed next to Zhang Dazui is Xiao Xue.
The other two patients were also surrounded by a group of people.
At a glance, I saw Gao Xiulan and Yu Afen sitting next to Zhang Dazui and talking to him. Zhang Dazui looked in good spirits.
He was receiving an IV drip, Zhou Jianguo was sitting next to him peeling an apple, and Hu Tou was sitting on Zhou Zhiwen's lap.
"Xiaotong is here, come and have an apple.
It's nothing serious. You guys are busy at work and don't need to take the time to come and see me."
Zhang Dazui gestured to Zhou Jianguo to take two apples.
Lin Xiaotong stood behind Gao Xiulan and said:
"Aunt, what are you talking about? What kind of relationship do you have with my mother? Isn't it my responsibility to come here?"
"You are a child who knows how to tell the truth, this is Cui Cui.
Er Nengzi is quite lucky to have found such a beautiful wife."
He Cuicui's face turned red when people teased her.
"Big Mouth, you don't know, but now there are more people looking for Jin Qiaofeng to be their matchmaker than ever before."
Gao Xiulan saw that Jin Qiaofeng had replaced her notebook with a new one.
Lin Xiaotong looked at Xiao Xue who was lying on the hospital bed next to her, tilting her head to look over here.
Yu Afen sat in the middle, just enough to look after Xiao Xue at the same time.
"Xiaoxue, do you want to go to the bathroom?"
Xiao Xue had just finished the infusion and nodded.
Her injured arm was her left arm, which was already in a cast and sling, making it inconvenient for her to go to the toilet with one hand.
"I'll go with you."
Lin Xiaotong helped Xiao Xue to the bathroom at the end of the corridor. There were more people in the hospital than ever before in recent times.
When Xiao Xue came back after finishing the work, she walked to the door of a ward and took a look.
This bed was relatively quiet. Xu Huiping was staying in it and was still sleeping. Xiao Xue took a look and left.
"Where is Sister Huiping injured?"
Lin Xiaotong had met Xu Huiping before, and they greeted each other in a friendly manner. Unexpectedly, she found herself lying on a hospital bed again.
"On our way out, she suddenly developed a low-grade fever. Her legs and eyes were swollen. She didn't feel any better after we came back. She just wasn't feeling well."
Xiao Xue's tone was depressed. She didn't expect that the friends who went with her would become like this.
"What about her family?"
But she saw that there was no one to accompany him in bed.
"No one in her family is a good person. Sister Huiping usually has to worry about housework after work.
This time, her parents didn't show up even though the neighborhood committee went to their home to look for her.
Xiao Xue was speaking up for Xu Huiping, and just as she finished her words, several people came upstairs.
The leading woman was aggressive, followed by two men and one woman.
"Isn't this the room? I don't see anyone there?"
"Mom, it's still in front. Didn't the street say that my second sister lives in the front?"
"This dead girl, I wonder how badly she's injured?"
Xiao Xue and Lin Xiaotong watched the three people walking towards them.
"This is it."
"Mom, you have to talk to my second sister later."
"I know my limits. Fourth brother, please keep quiet for a moment. Mom will tell you."
The woman stood at the door and wiped her tears vigorously with her sleeves, then went in, and the fourth brother followed.
The female comrade who was lagging behind glanced at the two of them standing at the door, her eyes turned, and she followed them in, slamming the door shut.
"Who is it?"
"My poor Huiping, you can't even recognize your mother? Oh my God, look at what you have done."
