Liu Xuemei was arranged to stay in the hospital for recuperation. She had no problem taking care of herself, so Jiang Manyue went home to pack up her things and cook, and then brought over the meal and clothes for dinner.
Jiang Manyue returned home and told Lu Lin the news that Liu Xuemei was pregnant.
Lu Lin frowned slightly. "He's going to be hospitalized? Is his condition really that serious?"
Jiang Manyue shook her head. "Not really. It's just that her health isn't very good, and Cheng Ge is also in the hospital, so the doctor kept her for two days for observation."
Lu Lin sighed, "I'll have to trouble you. I can only do some simple housework and can't help with anything else."
Jiang Manyue smiled and said, "There's nothing special to be busy about. Xuemei can take care of herself. I'll just go over to cook. Brother Cheng can only visit for half an hour a day, and he doesn't need anyone to take care of him."
As the two were talking, a guard knocked on the Lu family's door.
"Excuse me, does Comrade Liu Xuemei live here?"
Jiang Manyue was a little confused. Did the guard come to see Liu Xuemei specifically?
"She's not here right now. What can I do for you?"
"A female comrade named Li Hongxiang came to see Comrade Liu Xuemei, saying she was her aunt and was waiting at the gate of the military district."
Jiang Manyue scratched her head. How come another aunt appeared?
I don’t know what this aunt is here for. Starting a family is already chaotic enough, and she must not be here to make things worse.
"Comrade, Comrade Liu Xuemei is currently in the hospital. Her husband, Comrade Cheng Jianyong, is also injured and hospitalized. There's really no other way. Otherwise, I'll go with you to meet that aunt at the door. She has something to say to me, and I'll pass it on to Comrade Liu Xuemei."
The guard did not refuse, and Jiang Manyue followed him.
When she arrived at the gate, Jiang Manyue saw a middle-aged woman, about forty years old, carrying a large luggage bag and standing next to the guard post.
He was carrying such a big luggage bag. Could he be here to seek refuge with Liu Xuemei?
Jiang Manyue walked forward and nodded politely to the woman, "Hello, comrade. You must be Liu Xuemei's aunt, Comrade Li Hongxiang, right?"
Li Hongxiang did not wait for her niece, but only waited for a strange young girl, who nodded with a lot of questions in her mind.
"I'm Liu Xuemei's neighbor. She and her husband are both hospitalized right now and can't leave for the time being. If you have anything to ask her, I can help you pass it on."
When Li Hongxiang heard that both of them were hospitalized, she quickly asked, "What happened to Xuemei? What's wrong with her?"
In Li Hongxiang's mind, minor illnesses and pains do not require seeing a doctor. Any illness that requires hospitalization is a serious illness.
When Li Hongxiang heard that Liu Xuemei and her husband were both in the hospital, she was frightened, not knowing what serious illness her niece had.
"Well, it's pretty serious. Anyway, he needs someone to take care of him right now. But it's hard to get into the military area. Aunt, if you have anything to say, I can help you pass it on."
When Li Hongxiang heard that Liu Xuemei needed someone to take care of her, she quickly said, "I can! I can take care of Xuemei! I'm here to take care of her!"
Jiang Manyue blinked, "Aunt, are you here to seek refuge with Xuemei?"
Li Hongxiang nodded awkwardly, "Yes, I have no choice. I can only think of Xuemei."
Jiang Manyue didn't dare to bring her into the military area. What if Liu Xuemei didn't want to have anything to do with this aunt?
If she brought people there without permission and any conflict really happened, it would be her fault.
"How about this, Auntie? I'll go talk to Xuemei first. Can you wait for me for a moment?"
Li Hongxiang looked at her eagerly, "Girl, can't you just take me in? I'm Xuemei's aunt, I'm not an outsider."
Jiang Manyue shook her head in embarrassment. "Aunt, you're not my family member. I can't take you in. You can only go in if Xuemei agrees. The military district has strict management. Please understand."
Li Hongxiang looked at the guard standing upright beside her and had no choice but to agree with Jiang Manyue's method.
Jiang Manyue hurried to the hospital and told Liu Xuemei the news that her aunt had come to seek refuge.
"My aunt has come to seek refuge with me?"
Liu Xuemei sat up straight abruptly. "I have to go check it out."
Jiang Manyue quickly helped her out of bed and said, "He's waiting at the gate. Go and have a look."
Anyway, Liu Xuemei was just pregnant, which was no big problem. It didn't matter if she walked a few steps to the military district gate, so Jiang Manyue took her there directly.
As soon as Liu Xuemei walked to the gate and saw Li Hongxiang, she hurried over in two or three steps.
"Aunt! Why are you here? Did your uncle beat you again?"
Li Hongxiang almost cried when she saw Liu Xuemei, "Xuemei..."
Seeing her like this, Liu Xuemei knew that her uncle must have beaten her again, and he beat her particularly hard, otherwise she would not have burst into tears as soon as she opened her mouth.
"I went to look for your mother, and the neighbors said your whole family was arrested and thrown into jail. What on earth is going on?"
Liu Xuemei didn't want to talk about her family, so she asked her, "Aunt, have you left that home?"
Li Hongxiang nodded. She had packed her luggage and wanted to go to her sister first. When her sister found a part-time job, she would move out and live on her own.
But when she went to her sister's house, the door was locked and it seemed like no one had opened it for a long time.
After asking her neighbors, she found out that the entire Liu family was in jail. However, the neighbors couldn't explain why they were in jail. They only knew that the whole family was in jail, even the old lady was arrested.
Li Hongxiang heard from her neighbors that her niece had married an officer and moved to the military compound, so she had no choice but to go and look for her.
