Jiang Qiao and the others saw Gu Zhixuan pacing back and forth in front of the restaurant and called out to him, "Gu Zhixuan, we're back."
Eight young men rushed over excitedly, grabbed Gu Zhixuan, and lifted him up.
"We should thank you for what happened today. Please take this. It can't make up for our mistake yesterday, but it's just a small token of our appreciation. Don't think it's too little."
Gu Zhixuan smiled and waved his hand, "I can't take that much, twenty is enough. How about this, we'll use the remaining twenty to buy meal tickets, and we'll eat together later, what do you think?"
The suggestion was unanimously approved by everyone. Jiang Qiao looked at the energetic young people with a smile and said, "Alright, don't let anyone see us. Hurry up and go inside to get the food."
Although the food had been ordered in advance, these days you have to fend for yourself; no one will serve you food. Fortunately, Jiang Qiao and his group were large, so each of them went once and managed to get almost everything.
Gu Zhixuan really didn't skimp on the food. When Jiang Qiao gave him the money and tickets, she said that there were too many people and the food wouldn't be enough. After all, he had lived in the countryside for so many years and he had a general idea of how much food ten people could eat. He was sure there would be enough to eat, but he wouldn't waste any.
Speaking of which, Jiang Qiao was the only one who ate very little here. The food at the restaurant was good, but it was a bit bland and not as good as what she ate at home. Plus, without the space water to adjust the flavor, she always felt that the taste was a bit lacking.
But the rest of the people didn't think so. What a delicious meal! They couldn't even get one during the New Year. They were getting a free meal thanks to Jiang Qiao and Gu Zhixuan. How could they not eat their fill?
Even when that ugly narcissus treated them, he only ordered two plates of meat. Unlike the dishes in front of them, it seems that Gu Zhixuan ordered all the meat dishes in this restaurant.
It's true that dining etiquette is very important. While eating, these nine young men warmed up to each other, as if they hadn't been fighting at all yesterday.
Gu Zhixuan knew exactly why his sister was doing this, so he cooperated with her as much as he could. Jiang Qiao had done so much for him, so he had to try his best too.
Seeing that his elder brother had become familiar with those eight people, Jiang Qiao nodded to himself and then gave them a few more instructions.
"Remember what I said before: don't try to find out those two people's secrets. Just do your own thing. Don't say I didn't warn you. Your current task is to study. As for the rest, the adults will take care of it."
"Oh, I see. Don't worry, we'll learn from this experience and won't make the same mistake again."
Gu Zhixuan added from the side, "They're telling you to go out, but don't go out. Don't rely on your numbers. There are plenty of people more capable than you. Having more people isn't an advantage."
After all the plates and bowls on the table were empty, Jiang Qiao and Gu Zhixuan took the students back to school, and then took Gu Zhixuan home. She then rode her bike to the hospital and talked to Song Zhi about what Gu Zhixuan and the boy had discovered.
"you mean?"
Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "I don't mean anything by it. I just feel that something is wrong. There must be something fishy about things that are not normal. You guys should investigate this matter secretly and find out what kind of background that woman has. Also, that horse-faced PE teacher."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Song Zhi dropped a bombshell on Jiang Qiao: "The higher-ups have sent people to take over this case, and we have no choice but to cooperate."
Jiang Qiao frowned. "Who sent you? Don't pretend to know what you don't, or you'll delay important matters."
Song Zhi smiled and said, "I heard that person knows you."
Jiang Qiao frowned. "You know me?"
Suddenly, she remembered someone, and she was certain that this person might be Song Shutian.
"Someone surnamed Song?"
Song Zhi smiled and nodded, "That's pretty impressive. It's from my family. I'll talk to him about it later."
While administering the acupuncture, Jiang Qiao said, "I have something to do tomorrow night, so I can't come over. I'll do the acupuncture the day after tomorrow. I estimate you'll be discharged from the hospital soon."
"real?"
Song Zhi felt like he had misheard. Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "What's the difference between true and false? You're almost ready to be discharged. You should go home and rest. Nowhere is as comfortable and convenient as home. Just wait for the doctor to let you go. I'm leaving."
After the acupuncture was finished, Jiang Qiao quickly got up and left, as two elderly men were waiting for her at home.
Gu Hanting was worried; he was afraid that his granddaughter would beat him to a pulp in a fit of anger.
Seeing Jiang Qiao enter with a smile, the old man was relieved. If he could smile, the matter must have been resolved.
Without the old man even asking, Jiang Qiao briefly explained what had happened.
"That's about it. You don't need to worry about your eldest grandson anymore. I'll bring us some water to wash our feet and let us soak our feet."
Qiao Jie nodded while sipping his tea. "Yes, our Qiao'er is definitely capable. Why are you worried? What's there to worry about? She may be capable, but she's not the kind of person who can't tell right from wrong. You're just worrying too much."
Come on, drink some water with me, don't waste it—
Gu Hanting sighed deeply, "I never expected that woman to get involved in this. What kind of person is she? She just takes revenge because someone doesn't like her. What kind of parents could raise such a thing? My grandson was beaten for nothing. How wronged he is."
Qiao Jie said in a cryptic tone, "It's not like you took it for nothing. Didn't you hear what Qiao'er said? In the future, let those people continue to train with your grandson. Maybe in a couple of years, Qiao'er won't even need to lift a finger. Zhixuan can handle everything on his own."
If you're going to talk about how to fight, you first have to learn how to take a beating. That takes time. We old folks shouldn't get involved in young people's business. Don't underestimate our kids just because they're young; they're all very independent and have their own ideas.
Gu Hanting thought Qiao Jie's words were a good summary; their grandsons were all very opinionated.
"Fine, I don't care anymore, let's have some tea."
Jiang Qiao brought water over and gave the two old men a foot bath, casually mentioning that she was going out for a while.
"Who? Who are you talking about? Say it again."
Gu Hanting thought he must be hearing things. How could he hear Hou Diankui's name? How could this person possibly be in their small county town?
"Hou Diankui, what's wrong, Grandpa? Do you know him?"
Gu Hanting gave a wry smile. "It's more than just knowing him; his name is legendary. Even our family's cemetery was looked after by his junior brother. Girl, how do you know Hou Diankui?"
Jiang Qiao rubbed her ear. "Well, it was a chance encounter. He was sick, and I treated him. That's how we got to know each other. I even gave him some food. Then he gave me three medical books. You wait here, I'll show them to you."
Upon hearing about the medical book, Qiao Jie instinctively felt that it was no ordinary book. When he saw the three books his granddaughter brought over, he casually flipped through them and found them to be quite good.
"Grandpa Qiao, why don't you learn from him too?"
Qiao Jie gave a wry smile. "Girl, don't you see how old I am? I can't learn anything more now. I'm just not cut out for medicine. Don't waste this good book. You, study hard, remember that, study hard. If you do well, you'll be extraordinary in the future—"
