Du Weili had been driving for a whole day and was extremely tired. If it were any other time, he would definitely have been a bit rude, but it all depends on the situation.
Knowing that this was not the time to be lazy, he put his hands on his waist and spoke seriously.
"Something has happened. You should be prepared."
Hearing this, Yang Niannian's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Zheng Xinyue was impatient and couldn't help but urge, "Hey, hurry up and tell me! My heart is in my throat."
Du Weili didn't keep the secret and sighed.
"When we were about to leave this morning, we got the news that Li Fengyi had an accident and was admitted to the hospital. After Ruoling found out, she became emotionally unstable and had a premature birth. Jiang Yang and Yueyue accompanied Ruoling to the hospital, and I came here by myself. I don't know Ruoling's current situation yet, and I didn't inform you because I was afraid you would worry."
Zheng Xinyue opened her eyes wide and subconsciously looked at Yang Niannian, her eyes full of concern.
Yang Niannian pursed her lips and said, "Come in and take a rest first. The food is ready. Eat first. I'll call back and ask what's going on."
After saying that, he turned and went into the yard.
"No one will answer your call. Jiang Yang and Yue Yue are both in the hospital." Du Weili followed her. "You know, Ruoling doesn't have many relatives in Haicheng. Jiang Yang is taking care of her in the hospital. There's no one at the scrap yard."
Yang Niannian also guessed it, "I'll call the factory and ask Master Qu to help check what's going on."
Upon hearing this, Du Weili did not stop him. He had been driving all the way and his legs and feet were sore and uncomfortable. He did not sit down to eat immediately, but went to the toilet first.
Zheng Xinyue followed Yang Niannian into the room and did not disturb her while she was on the phone.
At this time, Miao Yu had already finished get off work, but Qu Xiangyou was still in the factory. He didn't know about Lu Ruoling yet. After hearing what Yang Niannian said, he immediately expressed his opinion.
"I'll go check it out now, don't worry, I'll call you when I get back."
"Okay, thank you, Master Qu." Yang Niannian said gratefully.
Seeing her hang up the phone, Zheng Xinyue asked anxiously, "What did you say?"
"Master Qu, go to the hospital and call us later." Yang Niannian said.
Zheng Xinyue comforted her, "Don't worry too much, Ruoling will be fine."
Yang Niannian nodded and walked out of the room. Du Weili just came out of the bathroom.
He asked, "Did the call go through?"
Yang Niannian nodded. "Yes, Master Qu will call back later. Did you have anything to eat on the way? Eat first."
Du Weili thought Yang Niannian would be in a hurry to go back, but seeing her so calm, he was a little confused about what she was thinking.
"Why are you so calm?" he asked in surprise.
If it were someone else, they would be eager to set off back now, right?
Yang Niannian replied calmly, "There's no point in worrying. Eat first, then go to the guest room and have a good rest. We'll set off back to Haicheng tomorrow morning."
Du Weili thought for a moment and said, "I'll rest for two or three hours and then leave overnight."
Yang Niannian refused decisively, "No, you've been driving for a whole day, and you have to drive back overnight. What if you fall asleep on the way? Besides, driving at night is not safe."
She had promised Lu Shishen that she would not take safety lightly, and even if she went to Haicheng now, it wouldn't change anything.
Du Weili was indeed very tired, but he did not object. He pulled up his trouser legs and sat on the stone bench.
"Okay! You guys should sit down and eat something too! I think Ruoling is in good health, so she shouldn't be in any trouble."
Yang Niannian took a deep breath. Ruo Ling should be fine. However, if she was really born prematurely, based on current medical conditions, it would be hard to say whether the baby in her belly could be saved.
She calculated carefully and found that the child was not even nine months old.
And Li Fengyi, he didn't know what was going on either. With a hint of worry in his eyes, he sat down opposite Du Weili and asked.
"How is Feng Yi's injury?"
Du Weili looked regretful and said, "One leg was amputated, but his life is not in danger."
Zheng Xinyue exclaimed, "A leg is missing?"
Du Weili glanced at her. "I heard that he was lucky to survive this time. This kid is also unlucky. He is about to retire from the army, and such a thing happened. He is still so young. I don't know if he can accept such a blow."
Yang Niannian could only think optimistically, "It's good that his life is saved. I can get a prosthetic leg in the future."
He glanced at Du Weili and said, "Hurry up and eat! Go to bed early tonight and leave at five in the morning."
It gets light at five in the summer, so the earlier you leave, the earlier you arrive.
Du Weili was indeed tired, so he took a quick shower after dinner and went to the guest room to have a good sleep.
About an hour later, Qu Xiangyou found a telephone booth near the hospital and called.
"Niannian, don't worry. Ruoling and the baby are fine. It's a girl, weighing only 5 kilograms. She may have to stay in the hospital for ten days or half a month before she can be discharged."
When Qu Xiang had several children born, the lightest weighed more than six kilograms. In his opinion, a child weighing more than five kilograms was very light.
After a pause, he said regretfully, "Li Fengyi has passed the critical period, and the army has notified his family. When his condition gets better, the hospital will arrange for him and Ruoling to stay in the same ward."
Yang Niannian finally felt relieved.
"This is a blessing in disguise. As long as there is no danger to one's life, Master Qu, you should go back and have a rest. I'll call home."
Lu Ruoling gave birth, and she had to inform her family.
When Yang Niannian called back to the village, Ma Xiuzhu happened to be at the village chief's house, chatting with the village chief's wife. When she heard that her daughter-in-law was calling back, she answered the phone very quickly.
"Second brother, why are you calling so late?"
Although it’s late, it’s actually not completely dark yet.
Yang Niannian didn't know whether to announce the good news or the bad news. After thinking about it, she decided to announce the good news first, "Ruoling is born, and mother and daughter are safe."
Are mother and daughter safe?
Isn't that a girl?
Ma Xiuzhu was not happy at all and said with disdain.
"If Ruo Ling's belly doesn't work and she doesn't look like me at all, and she gives birth to a girl, her mother-in-law probably won't want to go to Haicheng to see her."
Seeing that she was seriously biased towards boys, Yang Niannian didn't indulge her and directly said to her, "It's not your child, so it doesn't look like you, what's so strange about that?"
Ma Xiuzhu choked and changed the subject awkwardly, "What was Wilmar's reaction after they found out? Were they happy?"
Yang Niannian told the truth, "Feng Yi was injured and had one leg amputated. If you come to see him, don't talk nonsense when you get to Haicheng."
"What?" Ma Xiuzhu was so frightened that she almost dropped the phone. "How come his legs are gone? The child was just born and he lost his legs. How are we going to live in the future?"
"You can just get a prosthetic limb later." Yang Niannian reminded again, "I have to go back to Haicheng tomorrow, so I'll have to rest first. If you go to Haicheng, don't talk nonsense in front of Fengyi."
