Chapter 91 Chapter 91 The Trap Is Trap Again
Tong Caifeng fell really hard this time. She lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up. At first she was still yelling and shouting for help.
But today is a workday, and it is past the time to buy groceries and meals in the morning. People in the family compound are out at work or school. Those who are not working are either doing housework at home or visiting neighbors to chat.
For a while, no one passed by this road, and no one came to rescue Tong Caifeng.
After howling for a while and seeing that no one came, Tong Caifeng could no longer howl and could only lie on the ground humming.
"Ouch, it hurts! It hurts so much..."
Meng Yufei held Xia Qinqin's hand and stopped. Xia Qinqin pointed at the person on the grass and said in surprise: "Ah! Mom, why is that person lying on the grass?"
Meng Yufei said: "She fell down."
Xia Qinqin said: "Then let's go and help her up."
Meng Yufei grabbed her daughter. Although the person on the grass had his back to them, they could still recognize that person from his clothes and back as Tong Caifeng.
"Wait a minute, that person is too heavy, the two of us can't lift him up. Well, let's go find other people to help." Meng Yufei explained to her daughter.
Xia Qinqin nodded: "Yeah, okay."
Meng Yufei took her daughter and bypassed Tong Caifeng and went to Tong Caifeng's home. Team leader Fang happened to be resting at home today.
"Captain Fang, I just saw your sister-in-law Tong fall down at the intersection ahead. It seemed like she fell pretty hard and has been lying on the ground ever since. I am not strong enough and I am taking care of the child. I am afraid that I will not be able to help her up and she will get hurt again, so I came to inform you. Please go and take a look at her."
Head Fang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go check it out. Tsk, really, he's so old and still falls down while walking." He couldn't help but complain, but when he thought of Meng Yufei still being there, he smiled and said, "Director Meng, thank you for notifying me."
Meng Yufei smiled and said, "Of course. Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll go back first."
"Okay, okay, take care."
After notifying everyone, Meng Yufei took Xia Qinqin home. When they got home, they put the fruit down first.
Xia Qinqin carefully placed the mango in her arms on the dining table, then tiptoed over, gently moving her nose to smell the fragrance of the mango.
Meng Yufei looked at her daughter's little action and said with a smile: "How about we cut the mango in half first?"
Xia Qinqin shook her head, "No, I want to wait for Dad to come back and eat together."
"Okay then." Meng Yufei smiled and poured a glass of warm water to her daughter, "Drink some water first."
Xia Qinqin nodded and took the cup of water.
Bang, bang.
There were regular knocks on the door.
The door of the house was not closed when she entered just now. Meng Yufei turned her head and saw a small figure standing at the door. She smiled and said, "Yan Nan is here, come in quickly."
Xia Qinqin heard Lu Yannan coming over, and quickly drank the water in two or three gulps, put down the cup and ran to the door, smiling and said, "Brother Yannan, you came to play with me."
Lu Yannan looked at the bright smiling eyes in front of him and nodded: "Yeah."
Xia Qinqin couldn't wait to share with him what she had just encountered: "Brother Yannan, when you came here, did you see a person lying in the grass at the intersection?"
Lu Yannan nodded, "I saw it, it's the one who lost the child that day."
Xia Qinqin was surprised and said, "It turned out to be that bad auntie. No wonder mom went to Lai Di and Xiang Di's house in the back to find someone to help. That bad auntie is Lai Di and their mother."
Lu Yannan said: "When I came here just now, I saw someone walking by. He must have been going to help her."
"That's Uncle Fang. Mom and I went to notify him to come over and help." Xia Qinqin said.
Lu Yannan asked: "Why do you need to ask someone to help her?"
At this time, Meng Yufei said in the room: "Qinqin, take Yannan to sit on the sofa, and we will eat lychees together."
"Okay!" Xia Qinqin responded happily, pulling Lu Yannan into the house and walking towards the sofa: "Brother Yannan, my mother and I just went to the supply and marketing cooperative. We bought lychees and mangoes. However, we have to wait until Dad comes back to eat the mangoes. Let's eat the lychees first."
Sitting on the sofa, Xia Qinqin thought of what Lu Yannan had just said and said, "Brother Yannan, did you just ask us why we should call Uncle Fang?"
Lu Yannan nodded.
Xia Qinqin said: "Because my mother and I are not strong enough, we can't help that bad aunt up."
Lu Yannan said: "That person is a bad person, just let her lie there, why bother to help her."
"Well...but, she fell down and she couldn't get up by herself." Xia Qinqin said, touching her head.
Meng Yufei brought a plate of lychees and placed it on the tea table, smiling and saying, "Being helpful is a good virtue, and every one of us should do so. However, you are still young now, and next time you encounter such a thing, the first thing you should do is to inform adults and seek help, understand?"
Xia Qinqin nodded: "Yeah, I know."
Lu Yannan pursed her lips and nodded slightly.
Meng Yufei smiled and said, "Let's eat lychees first, and then we can read together."
After the three of them finished eating the lychees, Meng Yufei took the two children to the faucet in the yard to wash their hands. The cool running water washed away the sweet juice in their hands.
Xia Qinqin was playing in the water and said with a smile: "Mom, I want to learn how to swim. When can I learn?"
Meng Yufei said: "Well... wait until you graduate from kindergarten and go to elementary school."
"Okay. Brother Yanan, do you want to learn swimming with me then?" Xia Qinqin turned her head and asked.
Lu Yannan said: "Well, Uncle Li said he would find someone to teach me how to swim."
"That's great. Once we learn it, we can go swimming in the sea together." Xia Qinqin thought happily.
Meng Yufei reminded him immediately: "Before you grow up, no matter whether you can swim or not, you must be accompanied by an adult when you go to the beach, okay?"
"Oh, I see." Xia Qinqin responded. Alas, when will I grow up?
…
After receiving the notice from Meng Yufei, Captain Fang did not rush to find Tong Caifeng, but drank the tea in the cup first. This was good tea sent by his comrade-in-arms and could not be wasted.
After drinking the tea, he even went to wash the teacup before walking out of the house leisurely.
After walking a few steps to the intersection, he saw Tong Caifeng lying on the ground groaning. Captain Fang frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Tong Caifeng perked up when she heard the familiar voice, and shouted at the top of her voice: "Lao Fang? Quick, help me up, my leg is broken!"
"Is it that serious? It's just a fall. Get up quickly." Captain Fang reached out to help Tong Caifeng up. Just as he was about to pull her up, Tong Caifeng screamed loudly: "Ouch, it hurts so much! It hurts!!"
Only then did Captain Fang see the wound on her face clearly. He took a closer look and fortunately, it was just a layer of broken skin and not that serious.
Tong Caifeng was still wailing: "My leg is broken! My leg, it hurts so much! This damn thing..."
Leader Fang frowned and asked, "Is it really that serious?"
"Of course!" Tong Caifeng glared and said angrily, "Do you think I'm lying to you? Can't you see I'm lying there unable to move? Send me to the hospital quickly, my legs hurt, my hands hurt, my face hurts... my whole body feels like it's falling apart!"
Captain Fang had no choice but to carry Tong Caifeng to the military hospital.
After examination, it was found that there were abrasions on the face, a slight sprain on the right hand, and a more serious injury on the right foot - a fracture.
The doctor said: "Just rest at home. Remember not to do housework for a few days. Just lie in bed and recuperate."
Leader Fang nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Tong Caifeng asked: "Doctor, don't you need to give me an IV drip? Or prescribe some medicine?"
The doctor said, "Your injuries are superficial. The only serious problem is the fracture in your foot. You don't need to take any medicine. Just go home and rest."
Tong Caifeng didn't believe it and asked, "Really? I'm in so much pain all over my body! Why don't you transfer me to a hospital in the city?"
The doctor said helplessly: "It's the same wherever you go. Even if they give you an IV, it's just glucose. It won't have any effect on your injury. It's a waste of resources."
Tong Caifeng snorted and said, "I think you are just being stingy. You think my visit is free, so you are reluctant to give me medicine."
When the doctor heard her say this, he said unhappily, "It's up to you. Go wherever you want. I can't control you."
Then he shouted to the door: "Next patient!"
Leader Fang said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, please don't bother with her. We'll go back first."
Leader Fang carried Tong Caifeng out of the hospital. Tong Caifeng insisted on going to the city hospital. "I want to go to the city hospital. The last time I was poisoned, they refused to treat me properly. My face became so swollen. Fortunately, I was transferred to the city hospital later."
"Isn't your face like that because you had to be transferred to another hospital and were jolted on the road?" Captain Fang couldn't help but speak.
Tong Caifeng insisted, "I don't care. You have to take me to the city hospital this time."
Captain Fang suppressed his temper and said, "The doctor said that you just need to go home and recuperate. You have injuries from falls. Even if it's a city hospital, they don't treat as many cases as the military hospital! The doctors there are experienced and have seen many patients. Even I have a lot of soldiers who get injured every year. Your case is really not a big deal."
Tong Caifeng yelled, "Are you reluctant to part with the money? Well, you're such a heartless person. I've suffered so much following you, and now that you've become rich, you wish I'd die, don't you?"
Then she wailed at the entrance of the hospital: "My life is so miserable! I met such a man who refused to treat me..."
There were many people coming and going at the hospital entrance. This was a military hospital, so most of the people were acquaintances. The expression on Captain Fang's face was both awkward and angry...
"Stop howling!" Captain Fang said angrily.
He didn't care what Tong Caifeng said, he quickly carried her out of the hospital and walked towards the family compound.
"No one will transfer you to the city hospital. If you have the ability, go there yourself now. Just listen to the doctor and recuperate at home. If your leg is not healed well, I will compensate you for it, okay?" said Captain Fang as he stormed home.
Only then did Tong Caifeng hear the anger in Captain Fang's tone. She didn't know whether it was because she was afraid that he would be angry, or because she realized that she couldn't transfer to another hospital on her own, so Tong Caifeng stopped making a fuss.
When they got home, Captain Fang put Tong Caifeng on the bed and said, "Just take a good rest here."
Tong Caifeng then remembered that the two pieces of cloth she bought in the morning were still there. She didn't pay attention when she came here just now, so she hoped that someone would take them away.
She hurriedly said to the other team leader: "I bought two pieces of cloth, and they were left where I fell. Go and get them back for me!"
Captain Fang was sitting on the edge of the bed, catching his breath. Tong Caifeng had eaten a lot during this period and had gained a lot of weight. It was really tiring to carry him back and forth.
"Let me rest for a while before I tell you. When I came back just now, I saw that there were indeed two pieces of cloth on the ground. I was wondering whose cloth was placed there. It turns out that you bought it."
"How dare you walk into the grass? Didn't you see the hole there? I heard a few days ago that Deputy Head Chen's wife fell there, but her injury wasn't as serious as yours."
Tong Caifeng was so angry when he said that, she gritted her teeth and said, "How do you think I fell? It was all caused by that jerk Qi Huiying!"
Leader Fang frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Tong Caifeng said, "That Qi Huiying deliberately dropped the money in the grass and lied to me that it was the money I lost. She led me into the pit and caused me to fall like this!"
Leader Fang was puzzled: "Why would she want to harm you?"
"Because...she is just bad and can't stand me." Tong Caifeng said.
Head Fang looked at her in disbelief and asked, "Really?"
"Of course! I didn't provoke her. Who knows why she is so unhappy with me? She's just a bitch! So bad that she's oozing pus..." As she spoke, Tong Caifeng started to curse again.
Captain Fang frowned as he listened. Although he knew that Tong Caifeng's words could not be fully believed, the reason why she fell was most likely related to Qi Huiying.
He had heard the rumors about Qi Huiying before, that she was a person with high aspirations and a very arrogant personality, who looked down on everyone.
Thinking of this, Captain Fang felt unhappy, thinking that Qi Huiying looked down on his family.
As Tong Caifeng's words became more and more outrageous, Captain Fang stood up and said, "Okay, stop talking. I'll go get the cloth back."
Tong Caifeng looked at Captain Fang's departing back and muttered, "What a useless man! He didn't even try to help his wife when she was bullied. I'm so miserable to marry such a man..."
Gu Jingwei, carrying a camera and a backpack, came to the gate of the family compound again and handed his letter of introduction and work permit to the young soldier standing guard at the gate.
"This time the newspaper sent me to interview the teachers and students of the kindergarten in the family home. I heard that they won the first prize in the city's youth chorus yesterday."
The young warrior remembered that this person was the cousin of Deputy Commander Chen's family, and said with a smile: "You are so well-informed. You won the award yesterday, and you came to interview today."
Yesterday, a group of children in uniform came in and out of the family yard. Of course, he knew what they were doing.
Gu Jingwei smiled and said, "We journalists value speed and accuracy in grasping news. We must respond and report promptly."
The young soldier looked at the ID and said, "Then you can go in, but you still can't bring your camera."
Gu Jingwei was a little embarrassed and said, "But I need to take a photo of the teachers and students in the kindergarten, so that I can include the photo in the newspaper later."
The young soldier shook his head and said, "Outsiders are not allowed to bring cameras in. This is the rule."
Gu Jingwei sighed and said, "Okay then."
He took the camera off his neck, handed it to the little soldier, and said with a smile, "Please keep it for me for a while."
"Okay, don't worry, I will return it to you in good condition later."
After entering the family compound, Gu Jingwei went to the kindergarten and was told that the kindergarten was closed today. He thought about it and turned to walk towards Qi Huiying's house.
When I was at the intersection, I saw a man bending over and picking up cloth. I didn't know who had dug up the hole next to him that he had filled.
"Comrade, did you fall down? Is it serious?" Gu Jingwei asked.
Captain Fang looked up and saw that it was a stranger. However, anyone who could enter the family compound was most likely a relative of someone's family.
"It wasn't me who fell, it was my wife who fell accidentally, and the cloth I bought fell here."
Gu Jingwei said, "Did she fall seriously? Did she accidentally step into the pit?" and pointed at the pit.
Leader Fang nodded: "It's this pit. I don't know who dug it. Why would they dig a pit here? My wife broke her leg. She has to rest at home for a while."
Gu Jingwei said: "I remember I had filled this hole before I left last time."
"Ah? You had it last time you came?"
Captain Fang was surprised and said that this was the first time he had seen this person today.
