"There are actually such miraculous pills."
Looking at the small pill in his hand, Gu Nanxun couldn't help but think, if it were really as Qingqing said, this little pill could be used to deal with enemy agents...
What are you thinking about? Gu Nanxun shook his head vigorously, trying to clear his mind. How could he possibly take out something like this? This kind of elixir shouldn't exist in this era at all. How could he explain its origin if he took it out?
"Qingqing, you must never show this kind of pill in front of others again."
Although he knew Lin Qing wouldn't act recklessly, Gu Nanxun still couldn't help but give instructions.
"Don't worry, Brother Nanxun, I know."
"Brother Nanxun, when shall we make our move?"
"Let's wait for Youcai to come back! I'll have him bring Wang Dahua or Gu Changhe here."
Upon hearing Lin Qing's question, Gu Nanxun replied that he was now desperately hoping his leg would heal quickly, otherwise there would be no need for Zhao Youcai to help with this.
"Alright, let's wait for Zhao Youcai to come back then." Actually, Lin Qing could go to the Gu family again, drug them all, and then interrogate Wang Dahua. But since Brother Nanxun said so, that's fine too, it'll just be a few days later.
"Doctor, how is my husband's leg?"
Seeing the doctor come out, Wang Dahua quickly went up to him and grabbed him, asking questions.
"The patient's injury is quite serious, and it has been delayed for a long time. It is estimated that he will be left with a disability after the injury heals."
"What? Doctor, you have to save my husband, Lao Gu! He can't be crippled!"
Upon hearing that Gu Changhe might become lame, Wang Dahua persisted in arguing with the doctor.
"I'm sorry, I tried my best."
The doctor understood the patient's feelings, but he was truly powerless to help. The impact of the stone was too severe; the bones were shattered. He didn't even know how big the stone was to cause such a serious injury.
"Captain, please take my old Gu to the county town. It must be that the doctor in this commune is no good. My old Gu can't be lame!"
Hearing that the doctor had no solution, Wang Dahua turned to the team leader and said.
"Then you should go to the county town for treatment!"
The doctor next to Wang Dahua overheard every word she said, and his face immediately turned ashen. He angrily addressed the team leader and his group, then turned and left, ignoring Gu Changhe completely.
Helpless, the team leader and his men had no choice but to carry Gu Changhe to the county hospital, and they didn't arrive there until evening.
The diagnosis and treatment results from the county hospital were exactly the same as those from the commune.
Wang Dahua started crying and making a scene again. The brigade leader, who had been exhausted all day, no longer cared about saving face. With a livid face, he left Wang Dahua and her husband and rushed home with the villagers under the cover of night.
"Honey, why are you only coming back now?"
Hearing a knock on the door in the middle of the night, Liu Yulan, the brigade leader's wife, quickly got up and opened the door for him.
"Don't even mention it. When Wang Dahua went to the commune hospital, she insisted that the doctor there was no good, so the doctor refused to treat her. She had to go to the county hospital, but they couldn't treat Gu Changhe properly. She even made a scene at the hospital, which made me so angry that I left them and came back."
"Old woman, please get me something to eat. I'm starving. I haven't eaten all day."
Upon hearing his wife's question, the brigade leader entered the room while complaining to her that he had had the worst day ever. He had run into someone like Wang Dahua, who showed him no gratitude whatsoever and instead left him with a lot of complaints.
"If you ask me, you deserve it. Did a donkey kick your brain today? Why don't you think before you speak?"
Hearing the captain's complaints, Liu Yulan grumbled as she cooked.
"What's wrong with me! As the village head, I have an obligation to help anyone in the village who is injured!"
Hearing his wife's complaints, the brigade leader also said with a wronged expression.
"Okay, you're the brigade leader, so no one can say anything about you helping the villagers. But what right do you have to tell others to do good deeds?"
"I...I was thinking of the whole brigade, wasn't I?"
"It's your own business if you think about the brigade's interests. Why should others have to think about the people in the brigade too?"
"But I'm doing this for Xiaolin's sake, after all, she still needs to stay in this brigade! If I offend all the villagers, how can she stay in this village in the future!"
The captain was still puzzled. He had meant well, so why did his wife think he was doing something wrong?
"Then think about it, if Xiao Lin, the educated youth, helps the Gu family today, will the Gu family thank Xiao Lin? Will the villagers thank Xiao Lin?"
After listening to his wife's words, the brigade leader stopped talking. He knew better than anyone that the Gu family would not thank Xiao Lin, but would instead intensify their efforts to cause trouble for him. The villagers would not thank Xiao Lin either, because it had nothing to do with them. They would even think that Xiao Lin was easy to bully.
"I misunderstood."
The brigade leader sighed and said, "No wonder Xiao Lin and Xiao Gu were angry. It's true that I didn't think things through. I only thought about the unity and mutual help within the brigade."
"You're just trying to smooth things over. Don't you think about how much injustice Xiao Lin and Xiao Gu have suffered? Why was Old Gu's leg hit? Wasn't it because he wanted to hit Xiao Lin? Imagine if that rock had hit Xiao Lin on the head, what would have happened to him? What would have happened to you, the brigade leader? You're asking Xiao Lin to save Old Gu, isn't that just rubbing salt into their wounds? Someone is trying to kill you, and you're going to save the person who wants to kill you? Could you do that?"
Seeing the team leader's regretful expression, Liu Yulan sighed and said, "My husband really did a thankless job today. He even offended Xiao Lin and Xiao Gu. Just wait and see. If Xiao Lin can't continue being a barefoot doctor, my husband will definitely be blamed by the villagers."
"Hey! Now we've offended not only Xiao Lin and Xiao Gu, but also all the other educated youth. Do you know Chen Bin, the educated youth from the designated educated youth unit?"
What happened to Chen, the educated youth?
"I can't believe it," asked Liu Yulan, the captain's wife.
“That Chen Bin is from Beijing. I heard his family has very strong connections. When he came, the higher-ups instructed us to take good care of him. I offended Chen Bin yesterday. If the higher-ups investigate, I don’t know how I’ll explain myself. Maybe my job as the brigade leader is over.”
The captain said, his face ashen.
"Oh dear! What should we do?"
After hearing what the captain said, Liu Yulan also said anxiously.
