At seven o'clock in the evening, Old Man Qin and Jianguo and his wife returned.
It was already dark outside and they didn't bring any flashlights, so they had to walk in the dark the whole way.
Fortunately, living in these mountains, they can navigate the road conditions here with their eyes closed.
So even if it is dark, they can walk home safely.
But as they walked along, their shoes and trouser legs were covered in mud.
It rained heavily today, and there was water on the road, with potholes everywhere. If Qin Jianguo hadn't supported him, who knows how many times he would have fallen along the way.
When they got home, they all looked very embarrassed.
Xie Yuwei prepared dinner early. Now the children had finished eating and were washing their faces and feet, getting ready to go to bed.
Xie Yuwei was uneasy all day.
She couldn't feel at peace until her family came back.
It was not until she saw her father-in-law, second uncle and second sister-in-law coming back that her eyes lit up: "Dad, second brother, second sister-in-law, you are back!"
She looked at them happily, but when she saw that there was no one behind them, her smile faded: "Is my eldest brother okay?"
Old Man Qin knew that his third daughter-in-law must have been worried all day, so he said, "It's okay, he's awake. The doctor said that if nothing unexpected happens tomorrow, he can be discharged from the hospital in the afternoon."
Hearing this, Xie Yuwei finally felt relieved: "Thank God, I hope everything is fine!"
"Grandpa, is my dad injured?" Qin Qiu, who was washing his feet, heard the key question and immediately asked worriedly.
The other older ones also showed worried looks.
No wonder after they came back, except for Third Aunt, all the adults were not at home.
At first, Third Aunt said she had gone out to do farm work, and they didn't doubt it. But when she didn't come back until dark, they actually had doubts in their hearts.
But they were still young, and even if something happened, they couldn't help, which would make the adults even more worried, so they didn't ask any more questions.
Now when he heard his grandfather say that his father was injured and hospitalized, Qin Qiu could no longer sit still.
"Your father is fine now. He will be back tomorrow. He will be better after resting for a while.
It’s getting late, wash your feet and go to bed.” Old Qin didn’t elaborate.
The fact that the eldest brother was injured is not a difficult matter. Even if we don’t tell him about it now, when he comes back tomorrow, the children will be able to see the wound on his head.
He didn't mention the details of the injury, just giving the child a vaccination would be enough.
"I don't have classes tomorrow. Can I go to the hospital to see my dad?" Qin Qiu asked.
"I want to go too!" Qin Yu followed.
"What's there to see? We'll be back tomorrow afternoon. You won't just cause more trouble if you go. The ward is too small to accommodate so many people." Old man Qin refused without thinking.
Xie Yuwei guessed that they must not have eaten yet since they came back so late, so she said, "Dad, you haven't eaten yet, I'm heating it up for you in the pot, hurry up and go to the kitchen to eat something!"
After walking for a long way, Old Man Qin and his companions were indeed hungry.
"Oh, Yuwei, this is the milk powder I bought for Han'er, but I only have enough money to buy one bag.
Mom asked you to take care of Han'er for a few days first, and when she comes back, we can think of a way to sell some of the food stored in the cellar.
Also, this is the money you gave to Jianguo, you should take it back now!" Zhao Yan handed the malted milk and money to Xie Yuwei.
Qin Jianguo was holding things he would need for tomorrow's sacrifice on the mountain. He had almost used up the money his mother had given him, with only a few cents left.
“Wasn’t this money supposed to be used for my elder brother’s medical treatment? Why are you giving it back to me?
Han'er still has milk powder to drink for several days, so it is important for my brother to get treatment now.
You should give the money to mom, I'll just take the malted milk." Xie Yuwei reached out and took the malted milk.
Although the thing is light, the family love inside is indeed heavy.
It was a blessing from her previous life that she could marry into such a family.
Sometimes she feels that with such good parents-in-law at home, it doesn’t matter whether she has a husband or not.
She didn't want the money. Since she had given it away, she had no intention of taking it back.
“You know Mom’s temper, she’ll be unhappy if you don’t accept it.
What's more, my eldest brother's hospital bills have been paid, but the remaining money is not enough to buy milk powder.
In fact, it was enough, but the money that my eldest brother took away in the morning was missing.
I don’t know whether it fell or was burned to ashes by the thunder when I put it in my pocket. ” Zhao Yan felt distressed when she thought that the five great unity cards were gone just like that.
Xie Yuwei was stunned: "What happened? Is the money gone?"
Zhao Yan nodded: "Yes, it's gone, but fortunately, no one is hurt, which is a blessing in disguise."
"How did Big Brother get injured? Did he tell her?" In fact, Xie Yuwei was more concerned about this matter.
Speaking of this, Qin Jianguo's veins popped up, and his face was full of resentment: "I don't know which bastard attacked Jiandang from behind and punched a bloody hole in the back of his head.
The eldest brother fainted on the road, and encountered a thunderstorm. He was struck by lightning without knowing anything.
If I knew who did this heinous thing, I would kill him myself."
He doesn't like to cause trouble, but he is not a pushover.
Hearing this, Xie Yuwei's heart suddenly tightened: "Oh my God, how could this happen? Did you call the police?"
“We went to the police station and explained the situation. After listening to us, the police said that the chances of finding the murderer were slim.
They will come to our village tomorrow morning to visit and see if they can find out something from the villagers. "In fact, Qin Jianguo no longer has any hope for the police.
It rained so heavily yesterday that the crime scene had been destroyed beyond recognition, and the boss didn't see who did it.
