Shen Shixun aimed at the target, greeted Rooney, and then did a quick search on his phone.
They split into two groups and ran towards the surrounding areas where fabric was sold. They also greeted the police and searched everywhere within a two-kilometer radius of the hospital.
They eventually found Shen Mu at a fabric stall in a vegetable market.
The stall owner said that Shen's mother was stammering, and when she came over, she grabbed the cloth and tried to run away. The stall owner didn't realize that she had a mental problem, so he scolded her a few times, and Shen's mother just stood there and didn't leave.
"Mother..."
Shen Shixun stepped forward, but his mother didn't recognize him. She shook her head and ran away.
What's her name?
“I am her son, my name is Shen Shixun, and my mother’s name is Lama.”
"Where is your father? Is there anyone else?"
"My sister is on the grassland, and my father is dead."
When the stall owner saw the police arrive, he stopped interfering. Shen's mother was reluctant to go with Shen Shixun, but Shen Shixun pulled her back, saying, "Mom, stop making a fuss. Go to the hospital and get proper treatment."
"ah!"
Chen's mother broke free from him, picked up a broom from the market, and hit him directly on the head. "Go away, go away! Didn't you leave? Why did you come back?"
"Didn't you leave?"
A barrage of questions left Shen Shixun speechless, but his heart sank.
Compared to when she first went to the hospital, Shen's mother's condition not only did not improve, but began to deteriorate.
Especially her eyes, which were devoid of any rationality and had become extremely agitated and uneasy.
Even after they got her into the car, Chen's mother didn't calm down; she cried, screamed, and cursed the whole way...
Rooney was startled by her appearance. "She wasn't like this before. She was quite cooperative before."
Upon arriving at the hospital, the doctor gave her an injection, and Shen's mother managed to fall asleep. Shen Shixun didn't leave; he sat in the corridor with his head down, while Rooney stayed by her side without leaving for a moment and also called Gila.
Upon learning of the situation, Gila felt extremely heavy-hearted.
"Brother, is Mom not used to it?"
"I don't know, maybe..."
For her, being locked up in the hospital for treatment was almost like being in prison, and he wasn't sure how much of an effect the psychologist's words would have on her.
But everyone needs their own set of psychological therapies, and Shen Shixun didn't know much about his mother and her, so he could only tell the doctor very little.
After two more days of observation at the hospital, Shen Shixun stayed put and didn't go anywhere. He would think about the farm from time to time, but he didn't dare to leave for even a moment.
Fortunately, Benhao and the few newly recruited Gong people were reliable and didn't have many ulterior motives. They managed the farm very well for him and, as he had instructed, gave the beef products to some merchants in the surrounding area. They were just waiting for him to go back and collect the money.
Several ewes gave birth, and one of them gave birth to a lamb with only one horn.
Two bulls fought fiercely for the right to mate with a cow, and one of them was injured and bled a lot...
They would call him about everything, big and small; Shen Shixun was basically never idle.
Shen's mother, who initially experienced memory disturbances that fluctuated between good and bad, became completely irrational and insane...
Once, when Rooney was feeding her porridge, his mother splashed the porridge all over Rooney's face.
Fortunately, Rooney's beard blocked some of the burn, preventing him from getting burned.
If she recovers, it's luck; if she doesn't, it's fate. Shen Shixun discussed it with Jila, and Jila suggested that since even the big hospitals in Latu couldn't cure her, they should go home, back to the grasslands, back to familiar places, where their mother might feel a little better.
Shen Shixun asked Rooney, and Rooney felt the same way.
On the evening before leaving the hospital, Shen Shixun helped his mother sit on the lawn in the hospital for a while.
Her emotions calmed down a little, but she didn't speak; Shen Shixun continued to talk.
“In a few months, Jira will give birth too. You see, Jira and I are doing very well.”
"You'll be able to see Zhizhi's baby in a few days, Mom. From now on, the baby will live with me, and I won't go anywhere else."
"You still need to take medication after being discharged from the hospital. You will get better gradually. I will continue to get you medication."
Shen's mother didn't speak, her eyes filled with tears. Shen Shixun smiled, and then he too started to cry.
Rooney took Shen Shixun back to the grasslands, and Shen Shixun returned to his farm. Upon returning to the city, he called Xiang Nanzhi and told her about it.
Xiang Nanzhi was furious. "What quack doctor? It must be that the doctors on Latu's side are incompetent. These are minor problems now that we're in the ancient city."
"Shen Shixun, let your mother come to the ancient city. Since it's for treatment, don't go back halfway through. It would be better to go back after she's fully recovered."
“You didn’t see how my mother was in the hospital. She was enduring it for the first few days, but enduring it all the time won’t do her any good.”
“My mother will definitely love the old town. I’ll take her to eat a lot of things she’s never eaten before and to see a lot of things she’s never seen before.”
“Zhizhi…”
"Um?"
When will my postpartum period end?
Xiang Nanzhi lay on the bed, wrapped in a blanket, and asked, "You missed me, didn't you?"
After returning home, besides taking care of Shen's mother, he spent his time herding cattle and sheep by himself. The grasslands are beautiful, but after staying in the ancient city for a long time, he would definitely miss some of the entertainment options available there.
He has a very full schedule at this job, so he will definitely feel uncomfortable if he suddenly has free time.
"I miss you, Zhizhi..."
He had no attachment to the ancient city and was unwilling to go back, but he wanted Xiang Nanzhi to come find him.
Once Xiang Nanzhi comes to him, he can finally end all of this.
At least in Saigon, the Xiang family doesn't have the ability to control the overall situation.
"There are still five days left. I'm counting down the days every day. I'll come over as soon as the time comes."
Did you talk to your dad? Did he agree?
"Not yet, but I will tell him. I'll tell him tonight so he can be mentally prepared in advance."
"It's too early to say it tonight. What if he disagrees?"
"No, my dad won't disagree."
I didn't object before because I knew she was just joking, so I let her go. But if Xiang Zheng knew she was coming to Saigon this time, he would never let her come.
The Xiang family had been on guard against him ever since they filed for divorce.
Shen Shixun frowned and said gently, "Zhizhi, take Tangyuan with you. Tell them the moment before you leave, or they might not feel at ease."
Xiang Nanzhi thought about it and it made sense. Her father had said that she should stay at home for at least two months. Now that the whole family liked glutinous rice balls so much, if she took them with her, they would definitely not be used to it.
"You've thought this through very well, so I'll listen to you."
"Um."
Xiang Nanzhi is about to finish her postpartum confinement, but Shen Shixun hasn't signed the divorce agreement yet; it seems he intends to drag it out indefinitely.
When Xiang Ciyuan went abroad, Xiang Jingyi went to inspect the construction site where he had previously collaborated with Zhang Yandong, and took the opportunity to chat with Zhang Yandong.
