"What is it? Tell me!" Su Nianxue's expression became more serious.
“It’s just…” Gu Yanliu stammered.
"Just tell me what's wrong! You're trying to drive me crazy!" She suddenly stood up from the stool, looking at her anxiously.
"Sister-in-law, please don't rush. Sit down and let me explain slowly." Gu Yanliu took a deep breath, considering how to begin.
There was nothing she could do; she was someone who couldn't keep things to herself, and she couldn't bear these things.
"Well... my brother... he had a little accident."
"What's wrong with him? Stop stammering and just say it all at once."
Upon hearing that Gu Yanbai was in trouble, Su Nianxue's heart almost stopped for a moment, her mind a jumbled mess, unable to make sense of it all.
Taozi and Wang Erya exchanged a glance, their expressions becoming more serious.
I was hoping nothing serious would happen.
Otherwise, with the old and the young in the family, how could they possibly cope?
Gu Yanliu no longer hesitated and told the whole story, "They... were in a car accident!"
Su Nianxue's mind went blank, her body went limp, and she almost collapsed to the ground. "Yanliu, your brother..."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. It's all my fault for not explaining clearly. My brother is injured, but I heard it's not serious."
Su Nianxue felt a little relieved. "Where is he now?"
“They’re staying at the county hospital. Sister Hongxing is already waiting for them in town. She said she wants to go to the county with you to see them.”
She originally intended to go to the county by herself without telling her sister-in-law.
After all, she was pregnant, and she couldn't afford to take responsibility if something really happened to her.
But, with all these things going on at home, we really can't do without her now.
However, she also inquired carefully and was told that it wasn't too serious, which is why she dared to tell her.
"Okay, I'll go to town right away." She immediately stood up from the stool, her mind still a bit blank, and started to walk out of the yard.
"Sister-in-law, don't rush. Pack a few things and also bring some clothes for my brother." These were the instructions Yang Hongxing gave her.
"Okay, I'll go pack right away." Su Nianxue hurried into the room and quickly packed her things.
Taozi quickly stopped her, "Nianxue, why don't you let your older brother go? He doesn't have anything to do at home anyway, let him go and help take care of things."
Su Nianxue shook her head. "Sister-in-law, thank you for your kindness."
But I won't feel at ease unless I see it with my own eyes!
Remembering her grandfather, she quickly instructed, "Sister-in-law, don't tell Grandpa about this yet, so he won't worry."
"I know, don't worry!" She understood this principle.
The old man is so old, what if he gets seriously ill from the stress?
Wang Erya nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
She picked up a bundle and left the room, urging Gu Yanliu, "Come on, take me to town."
Gu Yanliu knew the situation was urgent, and without even having time to drink some water, he drove the donkey cart back to town.
When they arrived in town, Yang Hongxing was already eagerly waiting.
Upon seeing her, she immediately stepped forward and took her hand, saying, "Nianxue, let's go!"
"Hongxing, who told you this news?" She was eager to know more details.
Yang Hongxing paused, then pointed to a man in a floral shirt next to her and said, "This is my younger brother, Yang Tianbao. He's the one who told me about this."
He's been staying by Zhou Mingjie's side these past few days; there's no mistake about it.
She only found out today that Zhou Mingjie had taken her to work in the county.
Seeing their anxious expressions, Yang Tianbao felt extremely guilty.
I should have kept quiet.
Now that such a big commotion has been caused, he's sure that when he gets to the county, those two will definitely make things difficult for him.
"Yang Tianbao, what exactly happened? Are they seriously injured?" Su Nianxue asked hurriedly, not bothering with formalities.
God knows, she was almost frantic the whole way.
Now that she's finally caught someone who knows the inside story, she's eager to know everything.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, it's actually... not that serious, it's just..." Oh well, what's done is done, so let him take the beating.
"Let's go to the hospital first. Once we get there, you can ask around!"
Su Nianxue thought about it and agreed; nothing is as reassuring as seeing it with one's own eyes.
Soon, the three of them arrived in the county.
Upon entering the county hospital, Su Nianxue and Yang Hongxing hurriedly headed to the ward.
Yang Tianbao followed behind them with a nervous expression. After watching the two of them enter the ward, he felt as if there were tigers inside and refused to go in no matter what.
The two men in the ward were stunned when they saw their wives. "You, what are you two doing here?"
Zhou Mingjie was the first to react, shouting at the door, "Yang Tianbao, you get the hell in here!"
You son of a bitch, I asked you to go buy us some things, why did you call those two over?
"You unlucky bastard, it's freezing cold, and those two are heavily pregnant. If anything happens to them, I'll never forgive you!"
Yang Tianbao poked his head out from the ward door, smiling apologetically, and said, "Well, brother-in-law, I just let it slip."
I didn't want it to be like this either.
It was my sister. She kept pressing me for answers, and I'm not good at lying, so I couldn't hold back and... I confessed everything.
"Who told you to go back?"
Didn't I ask you to go out and buy some things for us? Instead, you went and bought things all the way to town.
"What, is there no one in the county you find acceptable?" Gu Yanbai glared at him fiercely, knowing that this person was unreliable.
I told him long ago to ignore Zhou Mingjie, but he wouldn't listen and insisted on bringing him along.
Now he's like a megaphone; if anything happens to him, the whole world knows about it.
What kind of mess is this?
He grew angrier the more he thought about it, and couldn't help but glare at Zhou Mingjie.
The two had known each other for many years, and Zhou Mingjie understood his meaning at a glance.
He now hates that bastard to death.
In other words, he's currently lying in bed unable to move, otherwise he would definitely have treated Yang Tianbao to a good meal.
Why is this mouth so loose? There's not even a gatekeeper.
"Brother-in-law, Brother Yanbai, I was wrong." Judging from their expressions, Yang Tianbao knew that he had really offended these two people today.
Actually, it's his fault. His girlfriend has been exploiting him these days, leaving him penniless.
Gu Yanbai and the other man clearly hadn't thought of this question, and only asked him to run errands for them.
Buy some food, a change of clothes, and so on.
He was too embarrassed to admit that he had no money, for fear that they would look down on him.
He thought he might as well go home and help them get it.
Just make up some excuse to fool her sister, and you can save some money.
Who knew he wasn't good at lying, and since his sister had raised him since he was little, she managed to get the truth out of him after just a few rounds.
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, he had no choice but to tell the whole story.
