Feng Hui's eyes were scanning the room, and he didn't see Su Yin, who was frantically winking at him. He casually replied, "It's Xia Tianxiu, the one in your room. We met at the state-run restaurant in Sanhe County! Su Zhiqing, there's an important letter of introduction in my relative's bag. Think again, did you find it?"
Su Yin shook her head: "If an ordinary person found it, they would probably hand it over to the restaurant staff for safekeeping. Did you go and ask them?"
Feng Hui was sweating profusely with anxiety: "I asked, and everyone said no. Su Zhiqing, if I hadn't been in such a hurry to give you your seats, I wouldn't have forgotten to take my relative's bag. Please help me think of something else!"
Su Yin looked at Xia Tianyu with a constipated expression.
Xia Tianyu's eyes were already brimming with tears: "Brother Su Yin, why did you go to Sanhe County with that bastard behind our backs?"
Su Yin sighed, "Xiuer and I met on the way, and I only decided to go to Sanhe County on a whim!"
Feng Hui then realized something was wrong and glanced guiltily at Su Yin: "Su Zhiqing, if... if you didn't find it, I'll go ask somewhere else!"
"Stop right there!" Xia Tianyu grabbed him. "What are Su Yin and Xia Tianxiu eating?"
"Vegetarian noodles!" Feng Hui dared not offend this young lady, so he quickly broke free from her and ran away in a flash.
Xia Tianyu and Su Yin stared at each other for a few seconds, then Xia Tianyu suddenly stomped her foot, turned around, and ran away.
After eating melons for a while, Li Wang saw Su Yin turn around, so he quickly covered his face with a large book and pretended to be asleep.
Su Yin ignored him, opened her lunchbox, and started eating.
About three minutes later, Xia Tianxiu's pig-like screams came from the front yard: "Please stop hitting me! I didn't! No! You've misunderstood! Ah!!!"
Amidst the heart-wrenching wails, Su Yin calmly finished everything in the lunchbox, let out a satisfied burp, and then lay down on the kang (heated brick bed) to pick up a book and start reading.
Li Wang peered through the gaps in the book at his nonchalant demeanor and really wanted to get up and beat him up.
However, in the end, it was Xia Tianxiu who was pinned to the ground and beaten up.
That night, Summer Xiu was forbidden from going inside to sleep by the Rain and Dew Sisters.
Xia Tianxiu had already been beaten to a pulp. She was both ashamed and anxious, and dared not stay in the courtyard for long, for fear of being laughed at by the people in the other two rooms.
After thinking it over, she headed towards Su Ruyi's house.
Before the soft knock came, Su Ruyi's divine sense detected that the person who came was Xia Tianxiu.
Su Ruyi frowned deeply, stopped Yi Lele who was about to open the door, and whispered, "Ignore her."
Yi Lele withdrew her hand from the door latch and lowered her voice, "Is it some kind of urgent patient?"
Su Ruyi shook her head.
Just then, a voice called softly from outside the door, "Dr. Su, it's me, Xia Tianxiu! I need to talk to you!"
Su Ruyi pulled Yi Lele into the house.
Su Qiushi was also woken up by the commotion in the courtyard: "Who's outside?"
Su Ruyi told him to shut up, "Don't pay attention to flies."
Su Qiushi understood: "One of the three girls from the Xia family?"
The three people in the courtyard went back to their respective rooms and never came out again.
Xia Tianxiu knocked on the door for a long time. At first, she could hear some noise in the yard, but then it became quiet.
Later, all the lights in the courtyard went out.
Xia Tianxiu was both anxious and angry. She went around to the outside of the yard and prepared to climb over the big tree to get into the yard.
In her opinion, she had betrayed Su Ruyi, and now the two of them were in cahoots.
Now that her partner is in trouble, why should Su Ruyi stand idly by?
But after searching for a long time, the big tree she remembered was nowhere to be found.
When she tripped and fell face-first into the mud, she realized that the big tree had turned into a short stump, and that was the stump that had tripped her.
Xia Tianxiu got up, pushed her loose front tooth back into place with her hand, and limped away.
That night, no one knew where she went.
The next morning, General Shen Guoliang's car once again sped into Dingjiatun and headed straight for Su Ruyi's courtyard.
Shen Guoliang's loud voice rang out even before he knocked: "Dr. Su! I'm here to ask you for someone!"
Su Ruyi was brushing her teeth when she heard this and was very suspicious.
Ask her to return the person?
Yi Lele had already opened the door. Upon seeing Shen Guoliang, she mumbled, "Second Uncle."
Because of their childhood betrothal, she had called Shen Guoliang "Second Uncle" since she was a child, following Shen Heping's example.
Her principle in dealing with her loud-voiced and stern-faced second uncle was to avoid him whenever possible.
Unexpectedly, when Shen Guoliang saw her this time, his eyes lit up: "You little girl, you really are with Doctor Su!"
Yi Lele instinctively took a step back.
Shen Guoliang said seriously, "Lele, your dad asked me to find someone to take you back to Haicheng. Pack your things and come with me in a bit."
"What?!" Yilele exclaimed in shock. "What mistake did I make?!"
"Sigh!" Shen Guoliang sighed. "I heard that a female educated youth from Haicheng who was sent to the countryside made a mistake in Dingjiatun, and it was quite serious—this matter has spread throughout the entire Haicheng compound circle. Your dad is probably worried about you, Lele, you can understand, right?"
"What do I understand? Xia Tianlu made a mistake, what does that have to do with me?" Yi Lele's eyes instantly reddened. "I've been obediently learning medicine from Grandpa Su and Dr. Su in Dingjiatun, I haven't made any mistakes, why should I?"
Su Ruyi and Su Qiushi stood to the side, neither of them saying a word.
If a father wants to discipline his daughter and call her back to school, it's inappropriate for them to say anything.
"Lele, how about this? You go back to Haicheng and explain to your dad. Once he's reassured, he'll let you come back!" Shen Guoliang was clearly lying.
"No way! The training program won't stop for me! By the time I get back, I'll be behind!" Yi Lele wiped away her tears. "Why does my dad have to do this? It's always like this!"
"Lele, your second uncle knows you're upset. Why don't you hold back your anger for now, and then unleash it all when you get back to Haicheng and see your dad, okay?" Shen Guoliang said half-jokingly. "Alright, Lele, hurry up and pack your things, or you'll miss the train! Your second uncle got up especially early to pick you up!"
Yi Lele looked at Su Ruyi: "Master! I... I'll just go back for a little while! I've explained everything to my dad, and I'll be right back! I... I won't bring anything from my room, just a few changes of clothes! Is that okay?"
Su Ruyi naturally knew that Yi Lele would not return this time.
It was obvious that the news circulating in Haicheng circles was about the Xia sisters' Hua Mucang attack. Although it was unclear how the news spread, after such an incident, the Yi family would never allow their daughters to return to Dingjiatun, the scene of the crime, and get involved in such dangerous matters again.
