Upon seeing Jiang Qiao administer acupuncture, Liu Zhanyu automatically fell silent. Liu Xinmin's condition was quite bad, even worse than Gu Zhengkai's before, so Jiang Qiao's acupuncture session took a rather long time.
Just as Liu Zhanyu was getting impatient, Jiang Qiao slowly put away the needles.
"Alright, carry him inside. Let's figure out a way to get his wife out. There wasn't a problem to begin with, so why did they lock her up like that?"
Jiang Qiao's next thought was: Shouldn't this be thoroughly investigated and dealt with?
However, thinking that it would be useless even if she said it, since Liu Zhanyu couldn't control or afford to, she swallowed her words.
"Don't worry, they're investigating. We should have news soon."
After settling Liu Xinmin in, Liu Zhanyu went out again to fetch the food from Jiang Qiao's place. Otherwise, what would the elderly and children eat tomorrow morning? There was also a pregnant woman there.
However, when he returned, Hou Diankui and Dongzi had already returned. As a son, Dongzi was naturally worried about his father, especially since his father had clearly gone to the hospital. Why was he suddenly brought back?
He didn't know what was going on, and he wouldn't feel at ease unless he saw it with his own eyes.
Grandpa Hou was also worried that something might happen to the child on the way. This family is already in turmoil, so we can't let anything else go wrong. That's why he told Grandma to accompany the child back for a visit.
Seeing his father cleaned up, Dongzi somewhat understood why Jiang Qiao and the others had brought people back. With his father looking so dirty, even if they were to treat him, he was afraid of getting infected.
Especially after seeing that his father was already on an IV drip and his leg was bandaged, the young man really couldn't hold back any longer and knelt down on the ground in front of Jiang Qiao.
"Get up quickly, you're shortening my lifespan. If you really want to thank me, we can get to know each other better in the future."
Jiang Qiao pulled Dongzi up and said, "You're not allowed to kneel like that anymore. It's not fashionable in our family."
We're looking for your mom, and we should have news soon. Don't worry about things at home; just focus on taking care of your grandma and your younger siblings at the hospital.
What happens at home is not to be told to outsiders; it's best to keep it to yourself.
Dongzi glanced at Jiang Qiao with suspicion, then nodded. To be honest, he had his doubts about Jiang Qiao and Hou Diankui's identities.
But since they're so good to his family, they can't be bad people. Besides, they were able to get his father out of jail. These two people are capable of things that ordinary people can't do. He just can't understand why such capable people would be collecting scrap.
In Dongzi's limited knowledge, he had never met anyone of Jiang Qiao's status, so it's no wonder that the boy was full of doubts.
Jiang Qiao patted the thing's head and said, "Don't worry, we're good people. As for what kind of people we are, you'll naturally find out later."
"Dad, you've seen it too. Hurry up and go back to the hospital with Grandpa. Master, you need to come back tomorrow morning to get food and medicine. I can't go over for now. I'll give her acupuncture after she's discharged."
Hou Diankui nodded. "Okay, let's take care of Dongzi's father first. I'll come back to take care of the patient later, since it's inconvenient for you."
"Xiao Liu, hurry up and find a way to get Dongzi's mother out. It's not a big deal. Once this person is investigated, there won't be any issue of his wife covering for him or not, right?"
Liu Zhanyu smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll have someone get it done as soon as possible. Master Hou, please take care of things here. You still have to buy coal and grain tomorrow, so I won't delay you any longer."
"Girl, remember, if this person wakes up, notify us immediately."
Liu Xinmin didn't regain consciousness until the third day, and it was around this time that his wife was brought back.
The couple wept bitterly at the sight of their husbands in such a state. Especially after learning that the mother-in-law and child were still in the hospital, Dongzi's mother immediately wanted to kneel down before Jiang Qiao and the others, expressing her deep gratitude for their life-saving act.
"No, sister-in-law, you two will have to take care of my brother. No need for thanks. Someone else will be coming over later. Brother Liu, you'd better explain your situation to them."
Liu Zhanyu arrived at a reasonable time. He talked with Liu Xinmin and his wife inside for a long time before coming out and revealing the truth to Jiang Qiao.
"That woman is still stubborn; she refuses to admit to framing Liu Xinmin."
However, Liu Xinmin isn't stupid; he's kept evidence. Let's see how she can deny it this time.
Jiang Qiao snorted coldly, "Don't be polite with people like this. Go ahead and offer your help. If all else fails, I have some medicine here. Do you need it?"
Liu Zhanyu waved his hand, "No need, we can definitely handle it this time. As for the rest, we'll talk about it later. You can stay here for now. Going back and forth will only be a hassle for you."
"Is the couple's problem considered resolved or not?"
Liu Zhanyu was in a hurry to get back. "We're just waiting for that woman to confess so we can get things done. Oh, by the way, Cui Changfa's men found out that the strategist seemed to have been near the train station, but we didn't catch him. I'm off now—"
When Liu Xinmin's mother learned that her son and daughter-in-law had returned home safely and had their stitches removed, she refused to stay in the hospital and took her grandson home with her.
Seeing the family reunited, Hou Diankui and Jiang Qiao were the most gratified. To be honest, it would be a lie to say they weren't tired these days. A pregnant woman and an old man, to be able to do this much, even Liu Xinmin's own mother told her son and daughter-in-law that they had met good people.
Liu Xinmin knew in his heart that they had not only met good people, they had met the right people. Otherwise, it was uncertain whether he would have survived to come back alive, let alone his mother and child.
Jiang Qiao gave the old lady acupuncture for a few days, leaving her the medicine and prescription. "Remember this. Use this medicine I prescribe in the future. If you run out, I will have someone send it over."
Auntie, remember this: don't get angry or upset. You need to take care of your illness. If you want to live a long life, you can't overwork yourself or hold grudges. Try to think positively. If you can't think things through, even a god can't save someone who wants to die.
That's all I can do to help. I have other things to attend to, so my master and I will be leaving now. Please keep this money and tickets for now. Your matter should be resolved soon, so don't worry. I'll keep an eye on things for you."
Liu Zhanyu's wife held Jiang Qiao's hand, unsure of what to say. Having spent time together, she knew Jiang Qiao was pregnant; her figure was already showing.
"Hey girl, come over anytime you have time. If you need anything, we'll definitely help. Take care of yourself."
She didn't know what was going on with Jiang Qiao. She was pregnant and still traveling around with a master. In the woman's mind, she suspected that Jiang Qiao had been abandoned by a man. You know, even in this situation, they were still helping them. She could never repay this kindness in her lifetime.
When Jiang Qiao left, just like when she came, she left in the tricycle ridden by Hou Diankui, without letting anyone from the Liu family see her off.
