"How is Hongmei? I'm going to see her." Su Xiaoyun got up to get out of bed after learning about what had happened at home.
Xu Daqiang held her down, saying, "Honey, you just gave birth, you can't get out of bed. Your mother is with Hongmei, so don't worry about her. Just take good care of yourself."
“Even though Hongmei is in her postpartum period, she still needs to rest and recover. Why don’t we have my mom come and take care of me, and let her take good care of Hongmei?” Su Xiaoyun suggested.
Just as Xu Daqiang was about to speak, Su Fengying arrived. She carried chicken soup to the bedside and said, "Xiaoyun, I appreciate your kindness, but it's freezing cold, so I won't trouble you to run back and forth. I can take good care of you and Hongmei."
“Hongmei, she…” Su Xiaoyun’s face was full of worry.
Her sister-in-law was very good to her, and she was genuinely worried about her sister-in-law.
Su Fengying said, "She fell asleep. Before she went to sleep, she comforted me. After this experience, she should be able to see the true nature of that beast and will no longer have any hope for him."
“When you feel better, I’ll come and comfort Hongmei. It’s okay, everything will pass, things will get better,” Su Xiaoyun said.
Su Fengying nodded. "Come on, drink the chicken soup first."
Su Xiaoyun obediently accepted it. Her parents must be heartbroken that her sister-in-law had an accident. She had to be sensible and not cause them any more worry.
"Mom, where's Dad?" Xu Daqiang asked.
Su Fengying said, "I went to the team committee office and discussed with the brigade leader and others how to deal with that beast."
"Yueyue, I heard that Teacher Xu had a miscarriage. Was it that bastard Zhao Guohua who did it? Is it true?"
As soon as Li Xiyue returned to the clinic, Huang Xinrui, who had heard the news, came over to inquire about the situation.
"Yes." Li Xiyue knew the news had spread, so there was no need to hide it.
Huang Xinrui was both angry and furious. "That bastard, he's done nothing but wicked things. Why doesn't God send down a lightning bolt to strike him dead?"
“Comrade Daqiang beat him up, and I also taught him a lesson. The Party Secretary’s family will not let him off easily. He will pay the price for what he did,” Li Xiyue said.
Huang Xinrui was still angry, but then she thought of Su Xiaoyun and asked, "Sister Xiaoyun just gave birth, will it affect her?"
"The Party Secretary's family treats her very well, and she's sensible, so she should be fine." Li Xiyue glanced at the sky outside, sensing it might snow again, and asked Huang Xinrui, "Have you had lunch yet?"
Huang Xinrui shook her head, "Not yet. Zhou Zhiqing and his sister went to town early this morning and haven't come back yet. Wang Zhiqing went to the village to help repair the house and is probably eating at a villager's house. Xu Zhiqing was nowhere to be seen early this morning. I wonder if he went up the mountain to collect firewood."
During holidays, when he doesn't have to work, Wang Jiaxing goes to the village to help the villagers with chores. Sometimes he exchanges his earnings for food or vegetables, and sometimes the villagers invite him to stay for meals.
Everyone knows that Wang Jiaxing's family is not well-off. He has been saving money to help his family and lives very frugally. He goes wherever there is work to be done and tries to earn whatever he can.
"Then you can have lunch here," Li Xiyue said.
Huang Xinrui immediately perked up, "Okay, I'll cook."
As the two headed towards the kitchen, Li Xiyue asked, "How's Little Zhou, the educated youth, doing lately?"
“Ever since you cured her illness, she’s like a different person. She speaks softly and gently, is friendly to people, and doesn’t cause trouble anymore. She agrees with everything we say or do. She’s nothing like the Zhou Yunxia from before.”
Li Xiyue laughed and said, "That's good, the educated youth settlement is finally peaceful now."
“It’s really good. Xu Zhiqing is also a good-natured person and never causes trouble. Zhou Yunxia has changed for the better now, and the three of us have become good friends.” Huang Xinrui said with a sigh, “It’s just a pity that I have to go back to the city after the New Year.”
Li Xiyue sat down in front of the stove to tend the fire, and glanced at her with a smile, "You don't want to leave?"
"I am a little reluctant to leave." Huang Xinrui skillfully started cooking. "Before I could not go back to the city, I looked forward to going back every day. Now that I can go back, I feel a little reluctant. People are really contradictory."
Li Xiyue quickly started a fire and replied, "We've all spent so much time together, we've developed feelings for each other, it's normal to be reluctant to part with each other."
The two chatted casually, and lunch was ready in no time.
"Where did Xiaobai go?" Huang Xinrui set out the bowls and chopsticks to eat, but found that she couldn't see Xiaobai.
