Qin Huairu could understand Xu Damao's concerns, so she explained through the door why she had suddenly run back.
Lou Xiao'e waited and waited inside the house, but her husband didn't return, so she opened the door and came out.
"What's going on, Da Mao?"
"Shh... It sounds like Qin Huairu is outside."
"What?"
"Da Mao, Xiao E, is it really me? I'm all alone outside, and I really have nowhere to go. I just came here to ask where Xiao Dang and Huai Hua are staying now?"
"It really is Qin Huairu!" Lou Xiao'e heard it clearly this time; the voice was indeed quite familiar.
"Da Mao, open the door. It's snowing so heavily, let them come in first."
Since his wife had said so, Xu Damao was bound to listen. He first turned on the door light, then peeked through the crack in the door before opening it.
He didn't believe a word of what Qin Huairu said about the great joke being taken away, but who knows what got into this woman and she came back.
When he returned to the house and saw the letter, he remembered what Li Chu had told him before. Comparing the two with the contents of the letter, it seemed that her son had indeed been transferred to the Northwest.
"Qin Huairu, what are you planning to do now that you're back?"
Sitting in front of the radiator inside the house, and taking a sip of the hot water that Lou Xiao'e poured for her, Qin Huairu felt like she had come back to life. She had almost frozen to death after walking all this way and standing outside for so long.
"I want to find my daughter first and see if I can be with them."
"That's definitely not going to work. Xiao Dang and Huaihua are staying at my shop right now, so you definitely can't stay there."
Xu Damao had no room for negotiation on this point, and Lou Xiao'e would never agree to it.
Despite having anticipated this kind of rejection, Qin Huairu was still very disappointed by the straightforward refusal.
He forced an awkward smile: "I still have some money here. If necessary, I'll try to rent a place to live. I'll leave once I hear any news from Bang Geng."
"Are you still planning to go to the Northwest?"
Xu Damao and his companion were truly astonished by her idea. Although neither of them had ever been there, it was mentioned in books and on the news. All they could think of when they thought of that place was the vast Gobi Desert, deserted and filled with endless yellow sand.
How would you live in such an environment, especially since you're a woman?
Qin Huairu remained calm at this moment, and smiled faintly: "What else can I do if I don't go there? My son is there."
“I don’t know why you think that way, but if you say you should go there for Bang Geng’s sake, then you shouldn’t go. You should stay in Beijing and make money so that he can have a place to live when he comes back. Otherwise, to put it bluntly, it’s questionable whether you can even survive until he comes out. What will he do then? He won’t even have a place to live.”
Lou Xiao'e's words struck Qin Huairu's heart like a heavy hammer.
No one had told her these things before, and she had become fixated on this, only thinking about being closer to her son so she could visit him more easily, and also earn some money to leave for Banggeng. Actually, having a place to live was the most important thing.
"I..." She didn't know what to say. It seemed that everything she had done in the past six months had been meaningless, and she had even sold the most important house.
Now she not only has to find a way to make money, but also to buy another house. Otherwise, when Bang Geng comes back in the future, even if she wants to find him a wife, no woman will want to be with her if she sees that she has just been released and doesn't even have a house.
"Qin Huairu, who has been collecting your retirement pension for so long?"
"Xiao Dang, I'll have Xiao Dang collect them for me, and then send them to me when they're all accumulated into a whole number."
Xu Damao glanced at his wife, pursed his lips and thought for a moment before saying, "How about this, I'll take you to that shop first. You can make do with Xiaodang and the others tonight. It would be a bit heartless of me to kick you out so late, but you'll have to figure out a way for yourself tomorrow."
These words completely broke Qin Huairu down, and she buried her head in her legs and cried.
"Sigh~" Xu Damao sighed and said to Lou Xiao'e, "Wife, I'll go start the car first, you can bring her out later."
"Go ahead."
Intentionally or unintentionally, he placed the iron rod he had been holding in a convenient spot for Lou Xiao'e, and even gave her a wink. He didn't trust Qin Huairu at all.

...
Li Chu and Ding Qiunan didn't find out that Qin Huairu had returned until three days later.
However, both of them had very calm expressions. What did it matter to me whether you came back or not? Just like He Yuzhu, they had brought this situation upon themselves and it had nothing to do with anyone else, although they were indeed a bit pitiful.
"Where does she live now?" Ding Qiunan asked again.
"The next day, Xiao Dang helped me rent one of those rooms that someone else built themselves, for two yuan a month, in the west of the city." Lou Xiao'e said, picking up a peanut from the coffee table and popping it into her mouth.
"Qiu Nan, you have no idea how scared Da Mao and I were that night. They were banging on our front door all night long."
Ever since Xu Damao was taken away at night last year, the couple has been traumatized by anyone coming to look for them at night.
Li Chu sat to the side, listened with a smile, then got up and walked into the study, leaving the two women alone to chat.
In the study, he took out the documents he hadn't finished organizing during the day from his bag and began to look at them carefully.
Of the cancer patients we admitted, one passed away this morning; he had stomach cancer.
He was the first man to come to him for treatment.
The woman who came with him is now basically cured; all that's left is to come for a check-up once a year.
The two men had similar illnesses, both stemming from their spleen and stomach issues. One recovered, while the other passed away. It's a truly poignant outcome.
Li Chu noticed that the male patient was in a very low mood, and he tried to comfort him, but the effect was limited.
From this perspective, the patient's mental state may have a significant impact on their condition. However, a single case cannot prove anything, and continued observation is necessary.
However, the patient's treatment plan after he took over, the changes in the condition, and the impact of his mood on the condition, etc., must all be organized in order to facilitate future reference and research.
Now he has brought Wenxuan and the other two into the group, and asked them to create a new file for each patient, record all the changes in the patient in detail, and write down their understanding.
When a bird grows up, it has to go out and fly on its own; it can't live under its wing forever.
Especially Wenxuan, there are a lot of people watching him.
