Chen Ruixue was caught in a dilemma; at this point, nothing she said would be right.
After all, in this day and age, filial piety is the highest standard by which people measure a person's morality.
Just then, a loud voice came from inside.
"Liu Cuie, Jiang Jincheng, Jiang Yuping, what are you three doing here instead of working in the team?"
“You’re always slacking off, not working in the team to earn work points.”
The work points you three earn in two months are less than what one strong laborer earns. If you three work together, you'll starve next year.
You actually sneaked out now? Do you know that you are the people the brigade specifically wants to keep a close watch on?
I didn't give you any letters of introduction, and you sneaked here on your own. You've gone too far, haven't you?
They're treating our brigade's documents like they're nothing. What exactly are you trying to do?
All they saw was a group of people bursting in. This was the head of the brigade where Liu Cuie and her team were stationed. When the head of the brigade received the call, he was terrified.
I heard that Liu Cuie and her group actually went to the military hospital to cause trouble.
The captain almost had the urge to kill someone.
Their brigade is an advanced brigade.
Whether in terms of work, labor, or output, it is second to none.
This huge mess has happened under my watch; what if it really causes a major blunder at the military hospital?
I heard they went to see the director of the military hospital. Isn't that just looking for trouble?
I don't know if they're alright, but in the end, I, the captain, might be gone.
This was a call from a county official, instructing him to closely monitor these three individuals and absolutely not allow them to run off and cause trouble.
He had his team bring the oxcart overnight, and now they've blocked people at the hospital entrance.
The captain's face turned ashen with anger.
He led eight strong men in his team, and now they had completely blocked the way.
When Liu Cuie saw the brigade leader, she turned pale with fright. They had run away from the brigade.
At this time of year, you need a letter of introduction to go out, and of course they didn't have one.
I originally thought that as long as I found Ouyang Zhenyu, everything would be solved, so why would I need a letter of introduction?
Unexpectedly, they were caught up by the larger group.
Liu Cuie hurriedly said,
"Captain, we didn't run away, we're here to find my son."
"Liu Cuie, can you please stop talking nonsense!"
When your family came to our brigade, you only had one son, two daughters, and yourself in the household registration.
There are no other sons; they lie without even thinking.
Why did you come to the military hospital? What are you trying to do?
You're bringing shame to our brigade.
"And someone like you, who's not proactive in work and always tries to shirk responsibility, comes here—who can believe what you say?"
"And you two are always complaining about being tired while you're working. You're always sick today, have a stomachache tomorrow, or a handache the day after. There's never a time when you two are healthy."
The work points you earned in two months aren't even enough to fill your stomachs. And now you still dare to run away.
"You went to the military hospital without a letter of introduction. What are you doing? This shows you have a problem with your ideological awareness."
"Stop embarrassing yourself here and get back with me right now."
The captain gave the others a look, indicating that they definitely couldn't let these three cause trouble now.
Seven or eight people went up, gagged three of them, tied them up with ropes, and took them away.
The captain cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to the crowd.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry everyone, I'm really sorry, these three people in our village don't work hard and reform themselves, they cause me trouble every day."
You said you snuck out again this time. You've caused trouble for everyone, I'm so sorry.
Soon, the entrance was completely cleared. Chen Ruixue patted her stomach and breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing this, the others also dispersed. If they had any other thoughts in their minds before, it was too late to think about anything now.
Chen Ruixue was glad that the captain and his team arrived in time, but the matter was definitely not yet resolved.
What she didn't know was that these three people would never be able to get out again, and even if they wanted to sneak away, the villagers wouldn't be able to keep a close watch on them.
The brigade leader has spoken: if these three people leave the village, the village will run out of relief grain.
Liu Cuie returned to their cowshed with her son and daughter.
The cowshed was drafty in the dead of winter.
Because the three people left, others had already taken their places, and now the best earthen bed was gone.
They could only sleep on the wooden frame bed next to them.
But the wooden bed frame was shaky and on the verge of collapse.
Because of this incident, they were placed under strict control upon their return.
Moreover, all three of them were assigned a lot of work.
In the evenings, I still have to attend educational classes.
If they weren't well-received here before, at least they had a chance to catch their breath. But after this incident, the three of them have been working non-stop day and night.
If I had any free time, I'd rather close my eyes and take a nap; I wouldn't have time to cause trouble for Ouyang Zhenyu and his gang.
When Ouyang Zhenyu saw Grandpa and Grandma Ouyang at the train station, his eyes were still filled with excitement.
Although he didn't have much of a relationship with his biological parents, they genuinely cared for him.
When the old lady and the old man got off the train, they were accompanied by an aunt carrying large and small bags.
Unexpectedly, these two brought their aunt along with them when they came out, but thankfully the aunt was there, making things much easier.
Once they squeezed out of the station, Ouyang Zhenyu quickly helped them into the car.
"Dad, why did you come too? I was already worried enough about Mom coming alone, and you came all this way."
“Your wife is about to give birth, and your mother is coming over, so how can I not come? Besides, you didn’t even tell your family about such a big event as your wedding.”
“Ruixue is a good child, but it’s too unfair to her to be here.”
The two families were acquaintances. Although the Chen family had fallen on hard times, the old man and the old woman did not take any chances to kick the Chen family when they were down.
“Mom, Ruixue is about to give birth, and I don’t know anything about it, so I’m asking you for help.”
"What do you mean by helping? I'm your own mother. It's only right that I take care of your wife during her postpartum period. You're a grown man who doesn't know anything. Even though you're a doctor, doctors don't necessarily know how to take care of a woman during her postpartum period."
By the way, your eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and fourth brother all wanted to come, but they just couldn't find the time.
However, they all said that once your wife gives birth, they will bring her to visit you and your wife.
"How come you've gotten so dark and thin?"
The old lady felt sorry for her son.
