As Song Sanhe was saying this, Li Jumei asked again, "How did that ungrateful wretch Song Jiaojiao disappear? You didn't mention it in detail just now."
Upon hearing this, Song Sanhe hesitated to speak: "She..."
After a long pause, he said, "She disappeared when she got up to go to the outhouse at night."
"How can someone just disappear after getting up to use the outhouse in the middle of the night? Is someone specifically waiting in the outhouse for that ungrateful wretch to get up in the middle of the night?"
Li Jumei had a rather complicated story to tell.
"Who knows! Anyway, some of the female educated youths who shared her room said they heard noises in the room in the middle of the night, and when everyone woke up in the morning..."
Finding Song Jiaojiao's bed empty and the mattress cold, everyone guessed she had probably gotten up to use the outhouse in the middle of the night and then disappeared without a trace.
As Song Sanhe spoke, he shook his head and sighed, "I don't know what's wrong with the educated youth in our brigade. They're always causing trouble. The brigade leader and the party secretary have grown a lot of gray hair from worry."
"Could that ungrateful wretch have fallen into the latrine?"
If you're half asleep at night, it's easy to slip and fall into the latrine.
"The captain had someone check, and there was no one in the latrine."
Song Sanhe said, "Besides, if someone really accidentally falls into a latrine, she would definitely call for help, but the others in the know didn't hear anything."
"So what do we do now?"
Li Jumei's eyes were full of curiosity.
"What else can we do? The captain has already reported it to the police station. We'll see when the police can find any clues. We're just ordinary country folk. At most, we can help search in the surrounding villages."
If we can't find it, we can only leave it to fate.
Song Sanhe sighed inwardly.
Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng listened quietly, neither of them saying anything.
Qin Yaxin then spoke up: "Song Jiaojiao is no good. If she falls into the hands of kidnappers, it would be best if she were sold to some remote mountain forest, so she can never escape!"
Upon hearing this, Song Lan's face darkened: "Second Sister!"
She stared at Qin Yaxin: "Didn't I tell you that you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want? Have you forgotten what I said?!"
"I...I didn't!"
Qin Yaxin shrank her neck and shook her head, saying, "I haven't forgotten what you said, sister-in-law. I just think that if something happens to someone like Song Jiaojiao, it's her own fault."
"When someone gets into trouble, whether it's their own fault or not, it's wrong of you to talk nonsense!"
Song Lan rebuked him.
Qin Yaxin lowered her eyelids and pursed her lips, remaining silent.
Did you hear what your sister-in-law said?
Qin Yanzheng stared sharply at Qin Yaxin.
"Yes, I heard it... I know I was wrong!"
Looking up at Qin Yanzheng, Qin Yaxin whispered, but seeing that Qin Yanzheng ignored her, she quickly shifted her gaze to Song Lan:
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. I couldn't keep my mouth shut and said whatever came to mind. I know I was wrong and I promise I won't do it again!"
"I don't think you understand where you went wrong!"
Song Lan's expression was serious: "What you just said has little to do with whether you keep your mouth shut or not. Your problem is that you shouldn't have said those kinds of things in the first place."
If others overheard this, they would not only think you are ill-mannered, but also that you are malicious.
Do you really want to bear such a disgraceful reputation?
Upon hearing this, Qin Yaxin immediately shook her head vigorously, saying, "I don't want to, I don't want to have a bad reputation..."
"If you don't want to, you should know to think before you speak, know what you should say and what you shouldn't say, and always keep in mind the word 'good manners'."
Song Lan looked at her seriously, her tone equally earnest. Qin Yaxin nodded solemnly, "Understood!"
"Lanlan's words make a lot of sense. I think she's better at raising children than we are!"
Li Jumei looked at Song Sanhe and uttered a sigh.
Song Sanhe nodded in agreement.
...
After lunch, Song Lan rested at home for more than half an hour before Qin Yanzheng asked her to get in the car. In fact, it was like going back to the days when she was pregnant with her first and second children, when she was picked up and dropped off by car every day to and from work.
After the car drove away, Qin Yaxin left home to go to work at the factory.
As for the fifth and sixth children, since it's summer vacation, they naturally didn't go to kindergarten and stayed home to play with their older and younger siblings.
Song Sanhe returned to Shisong Village in the late afternoon.
The staff hospital of the machinery factory.
"Dr. Fu, is there something you need?"
As it was nearing the end of the workday, Fu Jinheng appeared in Song Lan's consultation room.
Song Lan had no patients at the moment, and her eyes lit up with curiosity as she smiled at the man sitting across from her consultation table.
"I've come to say goodbye."
Fu Jinheng's smile seemed somewhat forced. Seeing this, Song Lan became even more curious: "Saying goodbye? Where is Dr. Fu going? By the way, you don't look too good. Did something happen?"
"My work relationship was transferred back to Beijing, or more precisely, back to the hospital where I used to work."
Fu Jinheng's mouth was unusually bitter. He said, "This is not my idea. My wife didn't want to stay here anymore, so she asked someone to transfer my job to another place. She... she didn't even discuss it with me!"
As he spoke, Fu Jinheng's expression turned quite unpleasant.
"This...this is great news! Congratulations!"
Song Lan paused for a moment, then smiled sincerely. She said, "Beijing is much better than here, and in my opinion, being transferred back to your original workplace will only benefit your future development."
Working in a large hospital in a big city means you'll be exposed to a lot more patients, which means you'll encounter a wide variety of clinical cases. This will undoubtedly allow you to quickly accumulate work experience and relieve the suffering of more patients.
In short, Song Lan felt that there was nothing to worry about about Fu Jinheng being transferred back to his original workplace.
