After finishing her noodles, Xu Guiying prepared to leave.
Qian Yu'an couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, can you still walk? Why don't I take you home?"
Xu Guiying waved her hand, "No, I can go back by myself."
After saying that, Xu Guiying asked casually, "By the way, I see there are still books on your desk. Are you still in high school or preparing for college?"
Qian Yu'an blushed and said shyly, "I didn't get into university in my senior year of high school, but I want to try again. I'm studying at home by myself."
Xu Guiying nodded. "Okay, then I'll be going."
Xu Guiying still went out with her left ankle twisted, but after taking a couple of steps she realized something was wrong and quickly switched back to her right ankle.
After seeing Xu Guiying leave, Qian Yu'an went inside to wash the dishes. When he picked up Xu Guiying's bowl, he found ten yuan at the bottom!
Qian Yu'an took the money and chased after her, but Xu Guiying had already disappeared.
Qian Yu'an looked bewildered; ten yuan was enough for her to work for half a month.
That auntie didn't look like a bad person.
Qian Yu'an put the money into her bag, planning to return it to Xu Guiying the next time she saw her.
As soon as Xu Guiying stepped out of the alley, she walked briskly. She hadn't eaten enough noodles earlier, so she bought two large white steamed buns from a roadside vendor. By the time she returned to the Song family home, it was already eight o'clock.
Song Xinfu was waiting for her outside the Song family's gate.
"Old woman, why are you so late?"
Xu Guiying found Qian Yu'an and was in a good mood tonight.
"Nothing much, I just did something big."
Song Xinfu's lips twitched. "Have you eaten?"
Xu Guiying straightened her back. "I've eaten, I've eaten. Let's go inside first."
It was already past nine o'clock when I soaked my feet and went to bed.
Just as Xu Guiying finished covering herself with the blanket, there was a loud knocking on the Song family's front door.
"Old Song, your second brother is calling. Open the door!"
"Your father hit his head and needs to go to the hospital. Open the door right away!"
Song Xinfu didn't even have time to put on his coat before he rushed out the door.
The person who came was the community director. Song Anmin's brother called from the town hospital, saying that in the afternoon, Grandpa Song was pushed down while working in the fields, hit his head, and cut his foot with a knife. The head wound was too big for the town hospital to operate on, so he was brought to the city!
This news came like a bolt from the blue.
Song Xinfu swayed precariously, "Dad!"
Xu Guiying rushed out, threw her coat to Song Xinfu, and patted him on the head.
"Stop howling, let's get to the hospital right away!"
The Song siblings also got dressed and came out, but they could only see their parents riding their bikes away from behind.
Song Yangmin had already packed up when Song Jianmin called out to him, "Second brother, I'll go with you."
Song Rongrong also wanted to visit her grandfather. "Second brother, wait for me, I'm going too."
Song Yingying ran after her and finally closed the Song family's gate.
The Song family left Heping Lane in a noisy commotion. Now that it was late at night and everyone was quiet, several of Aunt Wang's neighbors opened their doors to see what was happening.
Song Guomin also heard the commotion.
Now was the time to make a good impression on his parents, so Song Guomin put on his clothes and prepared to leave.
Liu Aimei pouted, "I still have to take care of Yan Yan and Lele, so I won't go. You go."
Song Guomin didn't expect Liu Aimei to go at all.
The old man was taken to the Third Hospital, the same hospital where Song Yingying had been hospitalized last time. The Song family members were already very familiar with the place and went straight to the operating room.
Seeing that Song Zhicheng and his family were waiting outside the operating room.
"Mom! Second brother!"
Grandma Song still had blood on her body. She sat on a chair by the wall, and her face looked terrible!
"Xinfu is here."
Song Xinfu's legs went weak. "Mom, how is Dad?!"
When Song Zhicheng saw Song Xinfu, his eyes were red. "Big brother, Dad is still in surgery!"
Song Xinfu nodded, then looked at the people besides Song Zhicheng's family. They were several unfamiliar faces, and even the village secretary had come.
Song Xinfu's face darkened. "Did you cause my dad to fall?"
Those people didn't dare to speak.
The Party Secretary quickly stopped Song Xinfu, saying, "Xinfu, let's wait until your father has the surgery before we talk about it."
Xu Guiying stood a few steps further away from Song Xinfu, staring intently at Jiang Hong in the corner.
Jiang Hong frowned deeply, noticing that Xu Guiying was staring at her with a displeased expression.
Xu Guiying looked around but didn't see Song Anmin. Suppressing her anger, she stepped forward and asked Song Zhicheng, "Second brother, tell me everything that happened!"
As she spoke, Xu Guiying glanced at the Jiang family members.
The visitors were Jiang Hong, her father Jiang Qiang, her mother Sun Xiangxing, her uncle Sun Rong, and her aunt Jin Zhu.
Sun Rong's face was covered in bruises, and his body was covered in footprints.
Sun Xiangxing is a spoiled brat who prioritizes her brother's needs and is very unreasonable. "Why are you glaring at me? The matter hasn't been investigated yet, and this has nothing to do with us!"
With a dark expression, Song Zhicheng rolled up his sleeves and faced Sun Xiangxing.
"Shut up! You think I don't hit women?!"
The Song family members were all tall and strong, and Jiang Qiang was much shorter than him.
The atmosphere was tense, and Xu Guiying told Song Zhicheng to calm down first.
"After Dad's surgery, none of the Jiang family members will escape what's rightfully theirs!"
In her past life, Sun Xiangxing loved to speak ill of the Song family behind their backs, saying that the Song family was high and mighty and wouldn't associate with poor in-laws like the Jiang family. When Song Anmin incurred gambling debts, Jiang Hong turned around and ran away. After Xu Guiying and her husband paid off Song Anmin's debts, Jiang Hong ran back and wanted to marry Song Anmin. After the marriage, she even wanted to take money from Xu Guiying and her husband's pockets.
Even so, Jiang Hong still had to tell Sun Xiangxing that Xu Guiying was stingy.
Song Zhicheng snorted coldly, and his second son, Song Mingrui, and third son, Song Mingchen, also stared at the Song family with unfriendly eyes.
