Wang Xu touched Gu Xi's red face and pointed to the head of the kang: "I hid the passbook and cash here, you can take it yourself if you need it."
He reached to the edge of the kang and pulled out a long brick. He reached in and pushed it upwards, and another brick at the head of the bed was pushed open, revealing passbooks and cash under the interlayer.
Gu Xi widened her eyes and studied the brick. It fit perfectly after being put down, and it could not be discovered unless it was pushed up from the bottom. When the bricks underneath were removed, nothing was found.
"Your design is really clever, double insurance. Whoever invented it must be very smart."
Wang Xu restored the bricks: "My place is designed the same way. I also have cash. If you don't have enough, go get some yourself."
Gu Xi looked at Wang Xu affectionately with her big eyes: "Wang Xu, I didn't expect that you look fierce but are also a pure love warrior. I have a gift for you."
He turned around, took out a small box from the locked bedside table and handed it to Wang Xu.
Wang Xu took the box and opened it to find a watch. He looked up at Gu Xi in surprise and said, "You bought me a watch? I usually work very roughly and it's not suitable for me to wear a watch. It would be a waste if I bought it for me."
Gu Xi took the watch out of the box with a smile: "Hold out your hand."
Wang Xu obediently stretched out his hand, and Gu Xi helped him put on the watch: "It's the right size, no need to adjust it. I also bought you a shirt and a vest."
He took out a shirt and a vest from the closet and handed them to Wang Xu: "Put them on and try them on."
Wang Xu looked at the new clothes, feeling excited and moved. He hugged Gu Xi and kissed her from forehead to eyes, cheeks, and mouth, with gentle and pious movements.
"Wife, I can't hold it back any longer. Stop teasing me."
Gu Xi pinched his waist and said, "Humph, who seduced you? You're just dreaming."
Wang Xu smiled with a silly look on his face. If others saw him, they would probably think he was possessed. "I just cooked. I'll try again after I take a shower tonight. You should get some sleep too."
Gu Xi couldn't fall asleep for a while, so she took out a book and said, "Come here to study. I also asked Lin Ling to buy you some high school math workbooks. I'll teach you English."
Wang Xu paused with the book in his hand: "Do you know English?"
Gu Xi nodded simply: "Well, many people in Shanghai know how to do this, and it will definitely be useful in the future. I think you should go to the post office to order two newspapers, one for yourself and one for the neighborhood committee. Read the newspaper on the radio every day to learn about real-time news and policies, and subtly increase your sensitivity."
Wang Xu lowered his head and looked at the book. In fact, his mind was working rapidly. Then he made up his mind. If Gu Xi didn't say anything, she must have her reasons. He didn't ask anymore. He would just support her unconditionally.
"Okay, the pig farm in the village is almost finished. I'm going out with Yin Jie and Accountant Zheng in three days. It might take a few days to bring the piglets back. When the time comes, I'll help you order newspapers from the post office."
Gu Xi looked at Wang Xu: "You're going out when it's snowing? Can you come back? Don't get stuck halfway."
Wang Xu: "Don't worry, the snow is coming on and off. It's not snowing continuously yet, so the road won't be closed. It will take at least half a month for the snow to get thick enough to close the road."
Gu Xi: "It's already so cold now, and it's going to snow. I can't imagine how cold it will be then."
Wang Xu: "No one will go out by then, and the whole family will stay together on the kang."
Gu Xi: "Then we need to ask a few teachers to assign homework in advance so that the children won't be idle at home."
Wang Xu looked at Gu Xi with amusement: "If the child knew this, he would be moved to tears."
Gu Xi also found it funny when he said that: "Hahaha, the fear of being dominated by homework."
There was a knock at the gate: "Gu Xi, this is Chang Ru."
When she heard that Chang Ru was back, Gu Xi ran out to open the door and said, "Sister Chang Ru, you're back. How are you?"
Gu Xi invited Chang Ru in, but Chang Ru waved her hand and said, "Come with me to the neighborhood committee. The village chief has also been notified. The situation is not good."
Gu Xi pointed to the room and said, "The two children are still sleeping. If I leave, Wang Xu will be alone. I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it."
Wang Xu came out with a cotton-padded jacket and put it on Gu Xi: "Don't wear a coat when you go out, don't catch a cold. Go if you have something to do, they are still sleeping, I can watch them."
Gu Xi nodded and followed Chang Ru to the neighborhood committee. Everyone else was there, including Xu Zhengrong and Wu Yao.
Chang Ru got straight to the point: "The doctor said that Zhou He could not be saved, and now the family is asked to choose whether to die in the hospital or at home. Zhou He wanted to go home, but Li Tieshi disagreed, saying that Zhou He looked too scary, so he didn't dare to let her go home and let her die in the hospital."
Xu Zhengrong's eyes widened in anger. "If you can be cured, stay in the hospital. If you can't be cured, go home. It's already this late, and you still won't let me go home. It's obvious that you have something to hide."
Chang Ru was still frightened: "It's not that I have a guilty conscience, it's just that it was so scary. Gu Xi gave me a basin to take with her, and she vomited blood on the way, half a basin of blood. Uncle Zhao and I were scared to death, it was so terrible. When we got to the hospital, she vomited another half basin of blood. I think she was going to vomit out all the blood in her body.
Uncle Zhao said that he had lived to such an old age and had seen all kinds of scenes, but he had never seen anyone vomit so much blood. "
Chang Ru's face turned pale when she recalled it, and her hands were shaking unconsciously as she held the cup of water.
Everyone else present fell silent, not daring to imagine the scene.
Gu Xi had seen a video online. Although it was blurred, the scene was still there: "The herbicide is extremely scary and seeps into the whole body through the blood. It will allow people to feel their own death little by little while remaining conscious. You will have time to regret, but never again. "
Wu Yue and Li Tong couldn't help but tremble in fear. The atmosphere became unusually heavy.
Sheng Huaian recalled the scene when he saw Zhou He in the hospital: "It's very tragic, so we have to publicize it even more. At least Qingmiao Village should not use this kind of "herbicide" anymore, and we also have to make it clear that drinking it will lead to 100% death. "
Chang Ru sighed: "The problem now is whether Zhou He can come back. It costs money to stay in the hospital, and Li Tieshi can't afford it. It's too scary to come back."
Wu Yao slammed the table and said, "Coward, you are afraid now. Why weren't you afraid when your mistress wanted a divorce? This is the responsibility he should bear. When a person is about to die, the dead are the greatest. Do as Zhou He wishes. If Li Tieshi can do something in the end, let him go. If not, report him and deal with the disorderly relationship between man and woman."
Chang Ru thought of her two children: "But what about the children? They have already lost their mother, and they are going to lose their father too. How will they live in the future?"
Gu Xi watched them argue and said calmly: "I agree to report it. If you can't decide something, let the law decide it. Call the police and let them handle it."
