Just as Grandpa Li was about to go home to cook, he ran into Jiang Yue and Qin An, who were carrying food.
"Uncle Li, my sister and I have cooked a meal for you and Aunt Li."
Grandpa Li was deeply moved when he heard this.
"This is too much trouble for you...you..."
Back in the ward, Jiang Yue saw another person in a police uniform.
"Xiao Jiang, thank you so much."
Aunt Li was also deeply moved.
Jiang Yue steamed buns and mantou, and also stir-fried a few dishes. She brought extra with her.
When Xu Yi saw Jiang Yue handing him a steamed bun, he quickly refused.
"Comrade, this won't do."
How could he accept things from the people? He couldn't.
Xu Yi declined for a while, but Jiang Yue finally spoke up.
"My man's name is Lu Yu. You used to work for him, right?"
Upon hearing Jiang Yue's words, Xu Yi looked at her in surprise, then stood at attention and saluted her.
"Hello, sister-in-law."
Jiang Yue naturally knew Xu Yi. After she escaped from that mountain village and returned to the county town, it was Xu Yi who came to her to find out what had happened. Xu Yi was a soldier under Lu Yu and later worked at the county town's public security bureau.
Xu Yi originally intended to ask her privately, but Qin Xiang ended up telling everyone...
"Let's eat first."
Hearing Jiang Yue say this, Xu Yi no longer refused.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Although Xu Yi was puzzled as to how his sister-in-law recognized him since she had never seen him before, he didn't think much of it. He assumed that Battalion Commander Lu had spoken highly of him to her. He felt a surge of pride; it seemed that in the battalion commander's eyes, he was much more important than the other brothers.
Qin An glanced at Xu Yi. Just moments ago, Xu Yi had a stern face and a cold demeanor, but now he was grinning from ear to ear, as if he had secretly eaten honey.
After the meal, Jiang Yue asked about the person who had been watching Grandpa Li and his group.
"He's still being interrogated, and he keeps denying it..."
They're already investigating this person. He's from the county town, but he's a hoodlum who steals chickens and dogs and has done all sorts of other things.
Upon hearing Xu Yi's words, Jiang Yue recounted the two men she had seen at the state-run restaurant.
"I went to a state-run restaurant before and saw two men who seemed suspicious..."
Upon hearing Jiang Yue's words, Xu Yi's expression turned serious.
"Sister-in-law, I'll go report this to our bureau chief..."
Xu Yi went out, and after a short while, he brought back another comrade. He instructed the comrade to guard the house, and then he left.
"Uncle Li and Aunt Li, I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow morning. Please don't leave your hospital room..."
Upon hearing Jiang Yue's words, Grandpa Li quickly replied.
"No need, there are still some leftovers from tonight, we can just reheat them tomorrow morning."
When Grandpa Li said to heat it up, he meant soaking the lunchbox in hot water for a few minutes until the food was slightly warm.
"Uncle Li, I made a lot of steamed buns and mantou today. It would be a waste if you didn't eat them. Aunt Li, I also made some chicken soup. It'll be perfect for tomorrow morning..."
Hearing Jiang Yue say this, Grandpa Li and Grandma Li were moved to tears. "Thank you, Jiang Yue."
Jiang Yue and Qin An left the hospital and walked towards the courtyard.
Qin An looked at Jiang Yue with some doubt. She felt that Jiang Yue treated Grandpa Li and Grandma Li differently from other people.
Why are you so nice to them?
Qin An asked directly.
Uncle Li and Aunt Li don't look like ordinary people; they seem like people who have seen the world.
