Bu Ling and Han Weiguo were discharged from the hospital one after the other, with Han Weiguo leaving shortly after Bu Ling.
Although Han Weiguo was discharged from the hospital earlier than Bu Ling, the two groups awkwardly bumped into each other at the gate of the compound.
On one side, Jiang Hua helped Han Weiguo walk unsteadily.
On the other side, Sangs leisurely carried Buling. The two groups arrived at the gate of the compound at the same time and were somewhat stunned when they saw each other.
But Bu Ling was the first to turn the tables, her smile vanishing: "Sister Jiang Hua, that's not right of you. Comrade Han is so badly injured, how could you let him be discharged from the hospital?"
Jiang Hua: ....
She lowered her head gently and said, "Sister Buling is right."
Just as Bu Ling was about to turn her attention to Han Weiguo, Han Weiguo reacted swiftly: "Comrade Jiang Hua, thank you, I'm going home now." After saying that, he stopped staggering, walked with his toes pointing inward, and quickly entered the courtyard, bypassed the screen wall, and ran towards the backyard.
Seeing this, Jiang Hua quickly followed.
Bu Ling and Sang Shen looked at each other for a while, and then Sang Shen suddenly chuckled: "Our Ling Ling is really amazing, she can even cure people's illnesses."
Bling rolled her eyes at him: "Let's go in too."
Sang Shen hummed in agreement and rode her bicycle into the yard. The two of them had just entered the yard.
Aunt Lan, who was squatting under the eaves washing clothes, came up to him, lowered her voice, and asked excitedly, "Xiao Bu, has Xiao Han in the backyard really become a eunuch?"
Buling looked at the aunties and middle-aged women who were gradually gathering around, raised an eyebrow, slapped her thigh, and said excitedly, "That's right! Let me tell you, back then..."
Sangshen quietly left the group chat, parked her bicycle, and went inside to cook for Buling.
In the evening, when Wu Yuanyuan returned home from get off work, she saw this scene: in the courtyard, Bu Ling was sitting on a stool, talking animatedly and giving orders.
She was surrounded by middle-aged women, and even her own father was sitting there, listening intently to Bu Ling's speech.
"Cough cough, Ling, are you alright?"
Buling turned around and saw it was her. She smiled at her and said, "Yeah, it's nothing."
Then he turned his head away mercilessly, "...You have no idea how pitiful Comrade Han's cries were back then. It's all thanks to me, otherwise he might still be lying on the street right now!"
The surrounding aunties and older women listened with shining eyes, and even Wang Ersao, who wasn't usually very noticeable, was beaming with excitement.
Wu Yuanyuan stood there for a while, and seeing that no one paid attention to her, she silently went back to the backyard to start cooking. There was nothing she could do; her mother-in-law was still in the front yard listening to Bu Ling brag, and she definitely hadn't thought about cooking.
Over there, Buling spoke with great enthusiasm, not missing a single detail.
"Lingling, dinner's ready!" Sangshen called out.
"Coming!" Buling replied, then said to Aunt Lan and the others, "Ladies and aunties, it's getting late, let's have dinner first. To find out what happens next, please stay tuned for tonight's episode."
Reminded by Bu Ling, the women who were engrossed in gossip finally realized what was going on.
"Oh my god, it's so late, I need to hurry back and cook!"
"That's right, didn't you even realize it was already dark!"
"Hurry up and hurry up, or the men at home will go hungry again!"
Buling also carried the stool home: "It smells so good!"
Mulberry raised her eyebrows smugly: "Come wash your hands and eat."
Bling obediently did as instructed.
To help Bling recover, Sangshen went to Xie Dong's place and got a fish for free. She made soup with the fish head and braised the fish body. With Sangshen's excellent cooking skills, Bling couldn't stop eating.
That evening, as promised, Buling continued the story for the aunties and older women. Her storytelling was so captivating and exciting that even the children listened with great interest, finding Buling's stories much more engaging than any picture book.
Bling spoke fluently and everyone listened with great interest; it was truly a wonderful night!
That night, the courtyard was filled with an atmosphere of gossiping, of course, this did not include the Han family in the backyard, but no one paid them any attention anyway.
The next morning, Bu Ling still hitched a ride to work on Wu Yuanyuan's bicycle. Actually, Sang Shen wanted to give her a ride, but she refused.
Even couples need some private space, right?
The two had just left the hospital when they bumped into a group of people. Luckily, Wu Yuanyuan was a skilled driver, otherwise they would have been seriously injured.
Having narrowly escaped the group, Wu Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief, while Bu Ling turned around and looked at the group with curiosity.
"Hey? Sister Yuanyuan, do you know those people from earlier?"
Wu Yuanyuan steadied her bicycle and shook her head: "I don't know her. I guess she's a relative of one of the neighbors?"
After listening, Buling seemed thoughtful. Why did she feel that the group of people didn't seem like they were visiting relatives? Instead, they seemed like they were there to cause trouble.
She shared her guess with Wu Yuanyuan, but Wu Yuanyuan said, "Don't worry so much. Wasn't the lesson from the other day enough?"
This was the first time she had ever seen someone get dizzy from watching a spectacle. "You're not in good health, so try to avoid getting involved in such things in the future!"
Bu Ling pursed her lips, thinking to herself, "What does this person know?" But she didn't explain, nor was she in a hurry to be curious about that group. Anyway, someone would share gossip with her when she got back that night.
Upon arriving at the state-run restaurant, as expected, Bu Ling was surrounded and cared for by her colleagues for a long time.
"Little Bu, next time we encounter something like this, let's stay away from it!" said Aunt Ma.
"Little sister Buling, you scared me to death that day!" This was Zhu Zhizhi.
"Little Bu, your health is so good. Grandpa will cook you more nourishing food from now on!" Grandpa Tan
"Xiao Bu, take care of yourself!" said Manager Zhu.
