Then she started cursing and swearing, even wishing that the child in her womb wouldn't survive either.
When I went in, Chen Jianguo was so angry that he was already fighting with the man from that house. Li Yan was pale with anger. Then, a little while later…
Tan Yajun spoke calmly, but the anger in her heart was barely contained. Even in the sweltering summer heat, her hands trembled, her fingertips were icy cold, and her voice choked with sobs.
"Soon after, Li Yan vomited blood."
I was so scared I was paralyzed with fear. I held onto Li Yan tightly, too terrified to move. It was only after the village chief's wife reminded me, and then Ling Weidong and Yuan Ye rushed over and found an oxcart, that they, along with Liu Jiefang, dragged Chen Jianguo back before he was finally put on the oxcart.
"An oxcart?"
The simple mind recalled the commotion from earlier.
"Could it be from just now? When we left the village?"
Tanya nodded.
"It should be that Yuan Ye drove the tractor to take the village chief to a meeting at the commune and hasn't returned yet, so they can only use an oxcart."
They left, and I was a bit flustered, not knowing what to do. After a while, I regained my balance and came over quickly.
Mingzhu reached out and took Tan Yajun's hand.
"Why is it so cold? Did you get scared?"
Tan Yajun's nose tingled, and she shook her head.
"Li Yan, is she alright? She's not even as old as me, why is her life so miserable?"
That year, the couple barely made it through the ordeal of having that child. She had previously mentioned that Chen Jianguo didn't actually want the child, fearing that her body couldn't handle it.
It's what she wants.
She said they both had families, but they were practically orphans, with no family to rely on. If, due to her health, she couldn't stay with Chen Jianguo for many more years, at least she would have a child to keep him company. Otherwise, it would be too pitiful for Chen Jianguo to be left all alone again.
A simple blink made me feel a tightness in my chest.
"What about the family that caused the trouble?"
Tanya sniffed.
"The militia are keeping an eye on it."
Jian Dan suddenly stood up, but Mingzhu quickly grabbed her.
Where are you going?
"If you act now, you'll be in the wrong. They can't escape, no matter where they are. Let's go check on Yan'er first; she's worried."
Seeing that she remained unmoved, and her anger grew even stronger, he gently persuaded her.
"Don't you know your strength? Even wild boars can't withstand it, let alone a single punch from you. If someone is killed, wouldn't that give others an excuse to renege on their promise?"
Listen to me, go check on Yan'er first. The village won't let this go easily.
"Yeah?"
"Think about it, everyone knows that our families have a good relationship, and you're always protective of your own. Now you're the village's benefactor, so who would dare to offend you?"
Listen to me, there's no rush to get revenge, okay?
Mingzhu didn't know about the gold mine and treasure, but Lin Dongfang had visited the army and the commune a few days ago, and he could still see those changes.
Lin Dongfang didn't know the specific details, but seeing that Lin Zhengde disliked him more than three to five times more than usual, he was certain that this matter was inseparable from Jian Dan.
It's normal that the villagers and educated youth didn't know, but the commune leaders and village leaders couldn't have been completely unaware. At a time like this, only a fool would dare to offend Jian Dan.
Moreover, the several large truckloads of dried goods and toys that arrive in Beijing every month, along with the vegetable greenhouses, are not just for show; they are the village's source of income. Even so, the villagers cannot afford to do this.
"Listen to me, I'll take the child back, and we'll go with them to check on things. If anything happens, we can lend a hand, right?"
Tan Yajun also calmed down, wiped her face, and her voice became much steadyer.
“I rushed over here in a hurry. I’ll go with you. I’ll go get her two pieces of clothing, lock her front door, and then go back to get some money.”
Mingzhu led the child out.
“You wait for us at home. I’ll take the child back and then have Lin Dongfang get a letter of introduction. That way, if he doesn’t come back tonight, we won’t be caught off guard.”
It has to be said that at this moment, Tanya Jun was flustered and simply angry, while Mingzhu was the calmest.
Soon, the group of people carrying small bundles left the village. They didn't catch up with the oxcart and headed straight for the commune's hospital.
Sure enough, at the hospital entrance, there was an oxcart still stained with blood.
"Third Master, have they gone in?"
The old man's expression remained neither sad nor happy. He looked up and glanced at the sky.
"You've arrived? You've all gone inside. Why don't you go in and take a look?"
Several people rushed to the operating room, and sure enough, the people at the door were already there.
"How is it?"
After looking around, Chen Jianguo knelt at the entrance of the operating room, head down, unresponsive to any sounds from the outside world.
Both of them were visiting the hospital for the first time, and they were quite nervous standing in the corner.
Liu Jiefang and Ling Weidong, who were standing a little further away, came over to greet them as soon as they saw them. Ling Weidong explained softly.
"They've been inside for a while, and the specifics are still unclear."
As they were talking, the operating room door clattered open, and a nurse came out, hurriedly went to the office next door, and soon returned with a tray.
Chen Jianguo stared at her expectantly, hoping she would say something, but perhaps also afraid of what she might say.
Walk over there with simple, brisk steps.
"Hello, how is the patient?"
The nurse was getting impatient and glanced up.
"They are currently treating the patient; the family is waiting outside."
As she spoke, she pushed open the operating room door again, and Jian Dan only had time to say one sentence.
"Please give the patient the best medicine, make sure she's alright."
A clanging sound, mixed with her voice, echoed in the empty corridor.
Mingzhu patted her on the shoulder.
