She rushed into the kitchen, grabbed a few empty lunchboxes, changed into a turtleneck short-sleeved shirt by Ruan Baozhu, and ran out of the house with her things.
As expected, as the key figure in the matter, she was immediately surrounded by gossipy aunties who chimed in with their opinions as soon as she appeared.
Tian Tian was almost frantic with worry, suppressing her urge to kill and saying all the good things about Ruan Kangri.
Her rigid, brainwashing-like rhetoric quickly made the aunties lose interest, and they let her leave.
Before leaving the military area, I was stopped by a guard. The guard had a sharp look in his eyes and spoke very aggressively.
"Brigade Commander Ruan said that Comrade Tian is injured and needs to rest in bed. You are not allowed to go out and wander around. Go back quickly."
This is probably one of her maternal grandfather's people, Tian Tian knew, and shook the lunchbox in her hand.
“Brother guard, my mother is still in the hospital. I need to go and bring her food, otherwise she won’t have anything to eat. I’ll be back soon and I won’t wander off.”
A hint of mockery flashed in the guard's eyes. Just as the brigade commander had said, she would use the excuse of visiting her mother to confirm whether Ruan Qing was really in the brigade commander's hands.
Before leaving, Ruan Kangri instructed that if she wanted to go, she should go, and it was good to see the truth and give up.
Moreover, the guards did not have the right to prevent family members from leaving the house.
Along the way, Tian Tian walked with her head down, not daring to stop at the post office.
She feared that Ruan Kangri might send people to follow her and do something heinous after discovering that she had called for help.
Even after arriving at the hospital, she couldn't be sure if anyone was following her, so she decided to be cautious.
She first discovered that Ruan Qing was not in the ward, then secretly ran to the stairwell to wipe away her tears, and then sweetly asked a doctor to use the telephone.
He figured that even if someone was following him, they would be watching from some corner outside the hospital.
You can't just walk into a military hospital; your identity needs to be verified.
Ruan Qing lived inside; at least Ruan Qing lived inside yesterday, which allowed Tian Tian to enter.
The call connected, and a sweet, girlish voice came through, almost suffocatingly so, "This is Ruan Xianxian, who's looking for me?"
For some reason, upon hearing this voice, Tian Tian burst into tears, her voice choked with sobs, unable to form coherent sentences: "Cousin, it's me."
There was a moment of silence on the other end. "What's wrong? That crying is so pitiful!"
With a doctor by her side, Tian Tian didn't dare to speak too directly, and stammered, but the gist of it was that her mother had been sent to Heilongjiang Province by her grandfather to recuperate, and she wanted to ask her cousin to take care of her.
She spoke very cryptically; will my cousin understand her?
Fortunately, Ruan Xianxian understood. She not only understood what Ruan Xianxian was trying to say, but also promised to find someone she knew to go to the train station to pick up her aunt and take care of her.
Having received the promise, Tian Tian burst into tears again.
Ruan Xianxian was too lazy to listen to her wailing and hung up the phone directly.
Sitting next to the commune's telephone, with one chair leg touching the ground, Ruan Xianxian swayed back and forth, a smile playing on her lips.
Sending a parcel through the post office costs postage, but Ruan Kangri is sending her a ready-made hostage and leverage.
Sigh! I still need to check which train she took, which will be a hassle for her nephew and Cai Cai again...
...
Beijing Military Region Hospital
The gentle female doctor patted Tian Tian's back as she sobbed uncontrollably. She had seen many patients whose families broke down in tears because they couldn't accept their serious illness.
This woman is quite young. Does the fact that her mother was sent to Heilongjiang Province for treatment mean there is no hope of recovery?
No wonder she cried so sadly.
After thanking the doctor, Tian Tian sat alone in the empty stairwell, hugging her legs and looking blank.
You handed your mother over to that perverted Ruan... and then what?
What path should they take next? Ruan Xianxian had never taught them.
Yes, she only wanted her to deal with Ruan Baozhu, not the Ruan family. Who else could she rely on?
No, mountains crumble and people run away; the only one you can truly rely on is yourself.
Tian Tian went from crying and laughing to being completely delirious.
An image flashed into my mind: Ruan the Pervert sitting in a chair, waving a tattered palm-leaf fan, laughing so hard he almost fell over...
They said the commune secretary's mistress only had a gynecological disease, and it was a pity she didn't get syphilis!
After laughing with her friends, she turned around and slapped herself in the mirror as she practiced crying.
Because of that inexplicable slap, she vividly remembered that conversation.
Syphilis, also known as syphilis, is contagious and can be fatal.
If Grandpa gets this disease...
I heard the death was very painful; the patient's body rotted from the inside out...
How can someone get syphilis?
Meanwhile, Qin Wuye, who had sold Ruan Xianxian's urine on the black market, received a call of condolence from Heilongjiang Province.
"Fifth Master, it's me! Xianxian!"
Every time he heard that delicate, high-pitched voice, his hair would stand on end, and he would blurt out, "Grandma Cai!"
I wanted to call her the Goddess of Wealth, but then I remembered that phone calls weren't safe, so I quickly changed my mind.
Upon hearing Ruan Xianxian's call, Fifth Master Qin's eyes lit up and his tone softened: "What's up? Or are there new arrivals?"
After parting ways in Beijing, the two did not lose contact despite the distance between them. Phone calls to express their condolences were secondary; they continued to exchange goods.
Ruan Xianxian: "It's nothing serious. Send someone to the West Lake Road near the military district gate, stop a girl who likes to wear white dresses, and sell her bayberry sores."
Qin Wuye was thinking happily, "Could it be that there's some new product this time, that's why they called to let me know?"
A little distracted, I subconsciously answered, "Yangmei? Yes, I have some. The one I delivered to you was from the woman in the white dress on West Lake Road, right? How many do you want?"
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. "I said 'bayberry sores,' not bayberries."
Qin Wuye wondered if he had misheard, and his voice unconsciously rose eight octaves: "What sore?"
Ruan Xianxian covered one ear and held the phone further away. Sure enough, the next moment, a roar of excitement, distorted by excitement, came from the other end of the line:
