Chen Nantai pleaded bitterly: "Aunt Gu, I'm scared! I'm scared! Very scared!"
Li Ying snorted coldly: "Just stay still!"
Chen Xingling ignored them and when he saw Gu Qi driving around, he hurried forward to help "move" Gu Miao into the car.
Gu Qi turned his head and said, "Xing'er, you still have to go to the farm tomorrow, and you have to take care of Xiaohuzi, so you don't have to follow me. Ayi, you and mom can get in the car together."
Li Ying escorted Chen Nantai forward and discovered that most of the space in the back seat was taken up by her chubby little daughter, and there was no way so many people could squeeze in.
"Oh no! What should we do? We can't let this kid escape!"
Gu Qi took a quick look and said, "Let him go. A Miao is probably suffering from heat stroke, and he can't hurt her alone."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Chen Nantai laughed excitedly: "Brother Aqi, you are still reasonable! I am really innocent! I saw her feeling uncomfortable on the side of the road, so I kindly sent her here, and I didn't do anything else! Really! It's true! It's absolutely true!"
Li Ying didn't care about him and hurried into the car to help support her daughter.
Gu Yi turned around and shouted, "Sister-in-law! Write down the boy's address and ID card! If I wake up and tell him something different, I will come to his house and beat him up!"
Chen Xingling waved his hand: "Alright, alright, let's go to the hospital."
Heatstroke is not a minor matter. Severe heatstroke can be fatal, so you must not be careless. Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. Saving people is the first priority.
The car drove into the dark night and sped towards the shipyard gate.
Zhao Xiaoxing was at a loss as to what to do and grabbed Chen Xingling's hand, saying in a trembling voice, "Sister-in-law, is Ah Miao's sister-in-law... okay? She looks scary... She was like she was having a seizure earlier, and I was scared just looking at her."
"If he had been sent to the hospital in time, he would have been fine." Chen Xingling glanced at the watch on his hand in the dark night and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise: "It's already past one o'clock!"
Chen Nantai at the side smiled apologetically: "Sister-in-law, it's so late, I won't bother you anymore. I'm leaving first! Goodbye!"
"Wait." Chen Xingling stopped him and said calmly, "I have a few words to ask you, please stay a little longer."
Chen Nantai almost cried, his brows and eyes were wrinkled.
"Sister-in-law, I've said it several times... I really didn't harm your sister-in-law. Besides, with her fierceness, no one can take advantage of her, right? We are all from the same hometown, I can't just stand by and watch her die! My kindness is being treated like a donkey's liver and lungs! I am really more wronged than Dou E!"
"That's enough." Chen Xingling interrupted him and asked calmly, "Where did you see my sister-in-law? When did you see her?"
"That was probably around eight or nine o'clock." Chen Nantai explained, "I went to have a midnight snack with a few of my friends after work, and I saw her leaning against a tree. She was still somewhat conscious at the time, and she said that your family lived on the first floor of the shipyard facing the river. I helped her walk, and she was sweating all over. She kept saying that she felt dizzy and uncomfortable, and that she couldn't breathe. Later, she couldn't walk anymore, and I carried her and helped her, and I was exhausted!"
Chen Xingling noticed something was wrong and asked, "Where on earth did you meet Gu Miao? It took you several hours to walk? Even if you had to support or carry her, it wouldn't be that slow, right?"
"In the south of the city." Chen Nantai explained quickly: "I am working on the ferry at the south of the city. This is the north of the city, it's too far to walk here!"
Chen Xingling finally believed it and asked him which ferry he was at.
Chen Nantai did not dare to hide anything and answered them one by one.
"Yeah." Chen Xingling's expression eased a little, and he whispered, "Let me thank you on behalf of Gu Miao for sending her here. If she wakes up and it's consistent with what you said, when she gets better, I will definitely let her go to the ferry to thank you in person."
"That's more like it." Chen Nantai laughed, his eyebrows full of ruffian: "Sister-in-law Aqi, you are still reasonable. In fact, we are all fellow countrymen from Shangjing City. It's not easy to make a living in the south. As fellow countrymen, of course we should take care of each other, right? Don't be too polite, okay?"
Chen Xingling waved his hand: "It's late, I won't keep you here, go away quickly."
"My two sisters-in-law, I'm leaving now!" Chen Nantai shook his flowery shirt with a playful smile and walked away with a swagger.
Zhao Xiaoxing asked curiously: "Sister-in-law, who is this person? He doesn't look like a decent person."
Chen Xingling laughed in silence: "He is from Shangjing City, not far from our hometown. He has some hooligan behavior, but he is not a bad guy."
Fate is really mysterious!
In the original book, Gu Miao and Chen Nantai had a relationship, but unfortunately Gu Miao was snobbish and ultimately did not choose him.
Although Chen Nantai is careless, he is born to be a businessman.
After the reform and opening up, he started a business at the dock, which grew bigger and bigger, and he later became a wealthy man. He went to his hometown in Beijing and bought houses, luxury cars, and built a courtyard house.
When Li Ying saw that he had become successful, he secretly felt extremely jealous and regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.
Zhao Xiaoxing couldn't help but remind him, "Just now Ah Yi said he wanted to ask for his address and ID card... Sister-in-law, is it bad to just let him go like this?"
"No." Chen Xingling replied: "I recognize the ferry crossing he just mentioned. He didn't lie. To put it another way, his hometown is also in Shangjing City. The monk may escape, but the temple cannot. There is no need to worry."
"Oh." Zhao Xiaoxing nodded: "That's good, that's good."
Chen Xingling took her upstairs and whispered, "Actually, Ah Miao obviously has heat stroke. No one else is to blame. She can't sit still at home, always likes to run outside, and doesn't like to drink water. It's only a matter of time before she gets heat stroke."
"Sister-in-law, I...I always feel that sister-in-law A Miao doesn't like me." Zhao Xiaoxing buried her head in grievance and murmured, "When I talk to her, she always ignores me."
Chen Xingling comforted her, "She has always looked down on country folks, and always boasts that she is superior because she is from the city. No, ignore her. It's the right thing for you and Ayi to live a good life."
Zhao Xiaoxing was worried and whispered, "Now there is another sister-in-law, who doesn't seem to care much about people. My mother-in-law is here too, and she didn't like me from the beginning. Sister-in-law, I'm really scared."
"I'll bargain with the landlord tomorrow." Chen Xingling lowered his voice, "If you can save two dollars, I'll rent it to you. Just clean it up and you can move in right away. There's a wooden bed over there, and you have your own bedding, so you can move in right away. In the meantime, you two will have your own place to live freely, so you don't have to worry about your mother-in-law and sister-in-law's faces all day long."
"...Thank you, sister-in-law!" Zhao Xiaoxing burst into tears of gratitude: "Sister-in-law, if it weren't for you, Ayi and I wouldn't have the life we have now. But sister-in-law...what should we do? I'm not saying it's a good thing. My sister-in-law just came and she made a lot of trouble. My mother-in-law is not a thrifty person either. I feel scared just looking at her."
Chen Xingling knew that she was really concerned about him, so he told her the truth: "You have all seen the place I live in now, right? That place was bought for me by my fourth brother. We plan to build two small two-story houses to live in. The place is not very spacious, but it is enough for a family of three. After it is built, we will move in. In the meantime, the upstairs suite will be left for my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, because I don't want to live with them either."
Although she is not afraid of him, if she has a choice, who would want to get together with this troublesome family?
Zhao Xiaoxing and Gu Yi would rather rent a house outside than live with them. She and Gu Qi would soon have their own little home, so naturally they didn't want to live there anymore.
Zhao Xiaoxing stared in surprise and asked, "Did your fourth brother give it to you? Really?"
"Yeah." Chen Xingling nodded.
Zhao Xiaoxing looked at her confident expression and felt secretly envious.
Her parents' home was close by, and she had her family members to help and support her at any time. Unlike her, her parents' home was far away, and even if she suffered any grievances, she didn't even have the opportunity to cry to her relatives.
