Chapter 647 Grandpa Vomits Blood
Ye Rou is not a person who is indecisive or hesitant in speaking.
But when faced with her grandfather's question, she hesitated for the first time.
What a smart person Zheng Zhiyuan is.
Seeing Ye Rou's hesitation, he guessed that she must have asked Chang Long about Lily.
But he saw Ye Rou's hesitation and stammering, and he had a guess in his mind.
Zheng Zhiyuan stared at Ye Rou in amazement: "It's related to me. Lily's abduction and trafficking has something to do with me, right?"
His body was shaky, and he stared at Ye Rou with mixed emotions in his eyes, a desire to know the answer, and a fear of knowing...
The problem was thrown to Ye Rou.
In Dahe Village, when Ye Rou learned that Lily had given birth to a daughter and committed suicide in a village not far from the cowshed, the horrifying scene of Zheng Zhiyuan spitting out blood was deeply imprinted in her memory.
Ye Rou hesitated for a moment, then lied: "No, it has nothing to do with you, it's... it's..."
Jiang Chen helped to cover up the lie and said in a deep voice, "Chang Long came up with this idea on the spur of the moment."
Ye Rouru, as if she had been pardoned, quickly echoed Jiang Chen's words, saying, "He saw my mother being driven out of the military zone, and he became malicious and kidnapped her and sold her. That's it."
After she finished speaking, she looked at her grandfather cautiously.
Zheng Zhiyuan lowered his head and said nothing, and it was impossible to see the expression on his face.
Ye Rou wanted to ask, but didn't know what to say.
She stood there in a daze.
Zheng Zhiyuan slowly turned around and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground. His body was shaky and his voice was tinged with blood:
"Li Guang!"
Ye Rou stared blankly at the bright red blood, her mind going blank.
Jiang Chen was the first to react and stepped forward to support Zheng Zhiyuan.
The usually elegant old man was pale, with blood at the corner of his mouth, and he was unconscious.
"The man fainted."
Liu Yutang, who had just been picked up by Jiang Chen from his apprentice's home, heard Jiang Chen shouting that someone had fainted and hurried out.
Seeing that Old Man Zheng had fainted, he didn't care about anything else and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and carry him in!"
Wang Guoping and Zhou Yuqing, who had just returned from University A after class, happened to see this scene. After hearing what Liu Yutang said, they hurried forward to help carry the person.
Zheng Zhiyuan was lying flat on the kang, unconscious.
Liu Yutang took his pulse and after a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Liver regurgitation, turning into fire..."
Wang Guoping pressed Liu Yutang's shoulder and pleaded, "Speak something understandable."
Liu Yutang changed the subject and said in plain language, "It was just a sudden attack of anger. The emotional ups and downs were too much and the stimulation caused him to faint. Fortunately..."
He paused, and the impatient Zhou Yuqing urged, "Fortunately? It's already this late, why are you keeping us in suspense?"
The most annoying thing about seeing a doctor is being rushed. Liu Yutang glared at him angrily, but didn't argue with him. He continued, "Luckily, Xiaorou had prepared a tonic soup for him earlier. He just fainted, and his lungs and heart weren't injured."
Speaking of Xiaorou, Liu Yutang looked around the room, but when he didn't see Ye Rou, he asked in surprise, "Where's Xiaorou?"
Jiang Chen's eyes darkened and he strode out.
As soon as I lifted the bamboo curtain at the door, I saw Ye Rou.
She sat on the steps with her back to the ground, her pink petal skirt spread out and her head buried in her arms, like a little pink ostrich.
Jiang Chen's heart softened as he sat beside her. As if afraid of startling her, he lowered his voice and told her Old Man Liu's diagnosis in a gentle voice.
The little ostrich moved its ears but did not lift its head.
Jiang Chen smoothed her long hair and said, "Guai, you were scared when your grandfather suddenly vomited blood and fainted, weren't you?"
After a long while, a very low and soft "hmm" was heard.
Jiang Chen didn't let her dwell on her fear. He put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Don't be afraid. He's fine. Old Liu said that thanks to your Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup, your grandfather didn't suffer any internal injuries."
The little ostrich slowly raised its head, revealing a pair of red fox eyes: "Really?"
He uttered just two words with a choked voice, and it was obvious that he was extremely sad and frightened.
Jiang Chen couldn't bear to see Ye Rou cry. Seeing the tears falling from her eyes, his heart ached and bitterness spread. He hugged her tightly and said casually, "You know your master's abilities best. If he says it's okay, then it's definitely okay. Don't be afraid."
"It's all right, it's all right."
She said it was okay, but her brows were still furrowed.
Jiang Chen knew Ye Rou best and knew that she couldn't bear to see people she knew get sick or pass away.
When the old leader passed away, Ye Rou was so shocked that she was speechless for a while, and the shadow of this situation lingered in Jiang Chen's heart.
Unable to let Ye Rou wallow in sorrow, he wiped away the tears from her eyes and asked for her opinion: "Do you want to go in and see him?"
Ye Rou hesitated for a moment before saying, "I dare not."
The voice was very low and soft.
Those three words expressed all her fear.
He blamed himself for insisting on finding out the truth about Zheng Lili's abduction, which caused his grandfather to vomit blood and faint. He was also terrified of seeing his grandfather lying unconscious in bed.
Jiang Chen had anticipated this. He pulled Ye Rou to her feet, lifted her head, and forced her to look up at him. "I'll go in with you, okay?"
Ye Rou seemed to have been shocked by the tragic scene when her parents passed away in her previous life. Even though she was worried about her grandfather, she did not dare to step into the house.
At this moment, Liu Yutang's pharmacy had become a monster with its bloody mouth wide open.
She hated herself for being timid, but was also worried about her grandfather's health. She was caught in a dilemma, and all the emotions surged into her heart, making her nose sore and her whole body tremble violently.
Jiang Chen quickly hugged her: "It's my fault. If you don't want to go in, then don't go. Let's go eat, okay?"
Everything he did was for Ye Rou, and if it made Ye Rou unhappy, he would not mention it again.
Ye Rou just cried, buried in his arms and cried out of breath.
She seemed to be back in the summer of her senior year in high school, having suddenly lost her loved ones and was left alone.
Jiang Chen's body temperature gave her a great sense of security.
She held him tightly and sobbed, "You promised to go in with me."
Hearing her say she wanted to go in, Jiang Chen was startled, but he quickly reacted and agreed, "Okay, I'll go in with you."
He gently wiped the tears from Ye Rou's face, and waited until she calmed down before holding her hand tightly and leading her into the house by the bamboo curtain.
Zheng Zhiyuan has woken up.
He was just anxious and angry, it wasn't a serious illness.
Liu Yutang used silver needles to disperse the accumulated heat in his chest, and with the help of Ye Rou's tonic soup stewed with spiritual spring water as the base, he woke up quickly.
Seeing that he was silent and looked so miserable, as if there was nothing more sad than a dead heart, Liu Yutang quickly whispered something in his ear.
Wang Guoping and Zhou Yuqing, who were watching from the side, had no idea what Liu Yutang said.
But Zheng Zhiyuan was visibly cheered up again, and the sadness on his face dissipated a little.
The two looked at each other, wanting to ask, but knowing it was not the right time, they suppressed their curiosity.
Coincidentally, Jiang Chen came in holding Ye Rou's hand at this time.
As soon as Ye Rou came in, she saw her grandfather.
There were more than a dozen silver needles stuck in his body, and the silver needles, as thin as cow hair, trembled with every breath.
Seeing Ye Rou, he smiled slightly, as kind as always: "Xiao Rou, come here."
"Grandpa." Ye Rou's voice choked with sobs. She quickly walked over and took his hand, apologizing repeatedly: "Grandpa, I'm sorry."
She took over the body of Zheng Lili's daughter, intending to avenge the mother and daughter and settle the cause and effect.
This was originally her selfish desire, but it caused her grandfather to be so sad that he vomited blood. At this moment, she felt self-blame and guilt.
"It has nothing to do with Xiaorou." Zheng Zhiyuan said gently, "Grandpa is also investigating your mother's past. It's because Grandpa is old and useless. It's not your fault."
When Zheng Zhiyuan said this, Ye Rouquan thought he was comforting herself and felt very uncomfortable.
But my grandfather was already worried about his daughter's affairs, and he didn't want him to worry about himself anymore.
Ye Rou wiped away her tears and forced a smile, "Grandpa, I'm fine. The most important thing for you now is to take care of your health. Leave the rest to me, okay?"
She was the one who asked for the money that the Li family owed to the Zheng family, in order to comfort Zheng Lili and her daughter and to resolve her grandfather's emotional knot.
——
The Zheng family is a family of scholars. Through generations, they have accumulated and passed down many calligraphy and paintings by famous people, which are of great value.
After Zheng Zhiyuan was beaten to the rank of "stinking ninth" and sent to the cowshed, Li Guang took his wife and children and openly occupied the Zheng family's house.
Later, during the most turbulent ten years in the country, Li Guang sold the Zheng family's house and antiques, calligraphy and paintings early, bought a boat ticket and fled overseas with his family. There has been no news of him since then.
The original clue should have been cut off here.
But by accident, Jiang Chen got wind of the Li family's plan to return to China.
At this time, the state does not allow private land transactions, but the right to use the land can be transferred.
Jiang Chen is purchasing the right to use the land where Anding Hospital was located in his previous life.
It just so happened that a group of hooligans who were hired by someone were also competing with him for this piece of land.
The man who hired this group of hooligans was named Li.
Because of his experience in Anding Psychiatric Hospital in his previous life, Jiang Chen knew that the Li family would return to China to set up a hospital, and use this as a stepping stone to knock on the door of a big family in Beijing.
Large families all have secrets or things they don't want others to know - a mental hospital is a good place to deal with gossipy people within the family.
Li Guang learned this from foreign hospitals.
After returning to China, he revealed this secret to his family and helped deal with many people in the name of caring for the "mental illness". Jiang Chen in his previous life was one of them.
Jiang Chen also had a grudge against the Li family and had been keeping an eye on their movements for a long time.
This piece of land in the northern suburbs is low-lying and muddy when it rains, making it difficult to walk on. Also, because the soil is loose, it is not a focus of the future development plan of Beijing, which allowed Li Guang to take advantage of the loophole and build a hospital.
Jiang Chen bought this piece of land in the northern suburbs in order to stimulate Li Guang to return to China as soon as possible. As long as he returned, everything would be easy.
He didn't want Ye Rou to worry about the Li family's affairs, nor did he want her to indulge in the hatred of revenge, so he took the matter over and promised Ye Rou that he would inform her as soon as the Li family returned to China.
This is how the matter came to an end.
