Jiang Qiao smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute to everyone. "Dear alumni, I apologize for the neglect. I was in a coma for four years and only woke up this morning, so I don't remember who you are for the time being."
"If there's anything wrong, investigate it; we'll handle it officially. But if you use this as an excuse to cause trouble or make things difficult for my family, that's non-negotiable."
When people in the courtyard and the village saw Jiang Qiao, their eyes widened as if they were dreaming.
Stone expressed it more directly, "Sister, sister—"
He stretched out both arms and pounced over. Jiang Qiao was being supported by Ning Hao and Song Zhi, so she had no choice but to reach out one hand, grab her younger brother's hand, and then pat Shi Tou's head.
"My little brother is so great. I know that Shi Tou often chats with me and gives me delicious food. Thank you, Shi Tou. When I recover, I'll cook you something delicious, okay?"
The little guy nodded vigorously, holding Jiang Qiao's hand tightly. "Sister, please don't sleep anymore, okay? Please stay with Shitou, okay? Mom cries every day, blaming herself for not taking good care of you. I don't want Mom to cry anymore. Please take good care of yourself, okay?"
At this moment, Wen Jingwan and the rest of her family were already in tears. Jiang Qiao raised her head and stretched out her arm to Wen Jingwan.
"Mom, I'm home. You've worked so hard. I'm so sorry for being such a disrespectful daughter—"
Despite being mentally prepared, Wen Jingwan could no longer contain her emotions when she saw a living person standing in front of her. She rushed over, hugged her daughter, and burst into tears.
Ever since her child collapsed, she has been a strong mother. Now, all her emotions have been released, except for tears and a heartfelt cry: "My child—"
The mother and daughter embraced and wept bitterly, and those present also shed tears.
Four years have passed. Others may not understand, but the villagers do. Facing a hopeless daughter and a patient who has no consciousness every day, how much patience and perseverance must it take to persist until now?
In particular, Wen Jingwan took excellent care of the child, changing his clothes and diapers every day, and bathing and massaging him. The villagers privately remarked that Wen Jingwan had made up for the years she had missed with her child.
Ma Liu wiped away his tears and came over. "Good child, let's not cry. We should be happy. Now that the child is better, our family should have a good celebration today."
Ladies and gentlemen, our Qiao'er has woken up! This is such a joyous occasion for our family. You've all shown her so much care and concern. Please come in and have a cup of tea before you leave.
"You lot, hurry up and do your checks. They're our Qiao'er's schoolmates. We have a happy occasion today, so we're entertaining guests. Please stay for a simple meal."
The group waved their hands sheepishly, "No need for a simple meal. We noticed you don't keep many animals in your yard. Sorry, Jiang Qiao, we'll be going now. Let's chat again sometime."
They didn't know Jiang He at all. They had always thought he was a scoundrel, and now they understood. He was an absolute scoundrel. How could someone like him have infiltrated their team? They would have to report this to their superiors later.
Jiang Qiao clasped his hands in a fist salute to everyone and said, "Fellow alumni, once I've recovered, I'll come over to find you all, and we can all catch up."
Upon seeing that these people were no longer following orders, Jiang He blurted out, "They are the 'Five Black Categories,' we shouldn't be fooled by them."
Before Jiang Qiao could even speak, Ning Hao had Song Zhi help Jiang Qiao up, and then he went over and grabbed Jiang He by the collar.
Hou Diankui, who was standing to the side, also spoke up, "Jiang He, I really didn't expect this. You've been neighbors for so many years, and you would do this to Jiang Qiao. Yesterday, as soon as I got off the train, you had people arrest me to prevent me from getting sick for Jiang Qiao."
Today, you came over again and searched someone's house. What deep-seated grudge do you have to cause such harm? It would be unfair to say you didn't have malicious intentions.
Ning Hao was unaware of this hidden story. His gaze towards Jiang He was piercing, and he exuded a chilling aura that even made Jiang He shiver involuntarily.
What bad luck he had today! Imagine, someone who's been in a coma for four years suddenly recovering. Did he forget to check the almanac before leaving home? If he had known that Hou Diankui was really capable, he wouldn't have dared to openly provoke him.
Jiang He chickened out when faced with Ning Hao. This guy was not to be trifled with from the start. Don't be fooled by how well he's doing now. Ning Hao is not even in the same league as them.
Jiang He was aware of this point. The people he knew were all influential figures. He couldn't compare to Ning Hao. If he fell out with this person, he didn't know what Ning Hao would do.
He couldn't compare to the other party in terms of fighting skills. As for causing trouble, Ning Hao was a well-known thug in their area back in the day, and he couldn't even imagine the connections Ning Hao had built up over the years.
"Brother Ning, no, this is a misunderstanding. It's all just a coincidence. I'm sorry, I'll take my people away right away. Please don't be angry."
The ruthless are afraid of the stubborn, and the stubborn are afraid of the reckless. Jiang He values his life, and he can't afford to offend Ning Hao and Jiang Qiao right now.
They originally planned to take advantage of Jiang Qiao's unconsciousness to rob him and recover all the things that had been stolen from him, but who would have thought they would run into a brick wall.
Now that the girl is awake, she should listen to her sister and avoid getting involved with these people. She should just focus on being comfortable.
"roll--"
Song Zhi chimed in from the side, "Jiang He, you're going to report to the Public Security Bureau tomorrow. Don't even think about running away. You know better than I do what the consequences will be. Don't force me to send someone to invite you. Go there on your own initiative, and we'll discuss this matter again tomorrow."
Jiang He paused, cursing inwardly. What kind of luck was this? He hadn't gotten any benefits, and instead, he'd run into these few troublemakers, people he couldn't afford to offend right now.
I regret it. If I had known this would happen, I would never have let Hou Diankui come back yesterday. Without him, Jiang Qiao wouldn't be here today.
To be honest, he was most wary of Jiang Qiao and Ning Hao. As for Song Zhi, although he was also afraid of him, it wasn't like Jiang Qiao, who was a nightmare for him.
"Okay, I'll come see you tomorrow. We're old acquaintances, it's nothing serious. See you tomorrow."
As soon as Jiang He and the others left, thunderous applause erupted behind them, with everyone cheering.
Why? Because these people are just here to cause trouble. They're not like the work team members. These people are almost like bandits. When people from the commune come down, at least they'll give you some pointers and help you cover for them. They're all from the same village, so they're not this ruthless.
Some of the people Jiang He brought with him went to Jiang Qiao's house, while the rest caused chaos in the village. Now that they're all gone, everyone is grateful to Jiang Qiao and his group. With such a hero around, their Gu Family Village can be much more peaceful.
