Chapter 72 I'm Not Here



When Lu Jingchuan came out of the shower, Gong Linglong had already boiled a pot of warm water and naturally took on the role of wife.

"Just put the dirty clothes in the bathroom. You go to sleep and I'll wash the clothes."

Lu Jingchuan was happy that his wife was willing to help him with the laundry, but he didn't ask her to do the work. "Linglong, I won't wash the clothes anymore. I'm leaving tomorrow evening. If the cotton clothes can't be dried after washing, I'll take them back to the army and wash them."

"All right."

Conditions were limited these days, and the Song family didn't have a washing machine or drying equipment. The weather was cold, and the cotton clothes couldn't be dried in a day or two. It would be more convenient for him to take them there to wash.

Gong Linglong thought it was getting late, so she urged him, "Go back to your room and sleep. I'll come and wake you up to eat when lunch is ready."

"Okay, make fewer dishes and don't work too hard." Lu Jingchuan didn't want her to suffer.

After he went back to his room to sleep, Gong Linglong went back to the room and said hello to her mother, took the prescription she had just written, put on her hat, locked the door, and rode Song Tao's bicycle out.

I bought some medicine at a state-owned drugstore and was about to go to the meat processing plant to buy some vegetables when I ran into two acquaintances on the street.

Boss Bai and Li Cuihua had just arrived at Tancheng Bus Station and were asking people at the intersection about the location of the city hospital. They didn't notice that Gong Linglong was riding a bicycle not far away from them.

Previously, Gong Linglong asked the bus driver to deliver a letter to Niujiaowan, who handed the letter to the captain. The letter said that Bai Jianren had deceived Qin Menglan and was beaten seriously by the Qin family and was hospitalized. After reading it, the captain hurried over to tell the Bai family.

The old man Bai and the old woman had just been criticized and were undergoing ideological education. They could not leave the production team and it was impossible for them to come to the city to see him.

Of course, even if the old man wanted to, he wouldn't come to visit.

It has now been confirmed that Bai Jianren is not his child. He feels sick at the thought of being cuckolded by the old hag. Now he just wants to ask the bastard for child support. As for whether the bastard is dead or alive in Tancheng, he doesn't want to care at all.

When the old woman learned that her beloved son was severely beaten by the Qin family, she cried bitterly, even more sadly than when she was criticized. She wanted to come and visit him, but she was unable to do so.

At first, Mr. Bai and his wife Li Cuihua were reluctant to come. Later, they didn't know what Mr. Bai said to them in private, but they suddenly took the initiative to come to Tancheng to visit and inquire about the situation, so they took the bus here this morning.

They found the city hospital and were horrified when they learned that Bai Jianren was almost killed by Qin Menglan this morning.

However, when they entered the ward and saw Bai Jianren's miserable condition, they couldn't believe that the man in front of them who was hanging on to his last breath was Lao Er. Finally, they looked at the birthmark on the back of his hand and confirmed that it was really Lao Er.

The two of them just listened to everything the doctor said, took a look in the ward and came out. Now they were hiding in the corner and talking in a low voice.

Li Cuihua's scalp trembled when she thought of the second child's miserable state: "What should I do?"

"The doctor just said that the second child is paralyzed and his throat is mute from the burns. He will be paralyzed and mute for the rest of his life, and his face may not recover. We can't reattach him."

Boss Bai had selfish motives. Even though he and the second brother were half-brothers and shared the same blood, and the second brother had been quite nice to him in the past, he really didn't want to take care of the half-dead brother for the rest of his life.

"Then I definitely can't take him back. I don't want to take care of him."

Li Cuihua understood the situation and said with a pout, "He's not from the Bai family. He's in such a terrible state now. I absolutely can't bring him home. I don't want to raise a paraplegic to bring trouble to myself."

Boss Bai had the same idea as her. His eyes rolled around as he said, "We can't take him back with us. The second son is married to Qin Menglan. He has a wife, so there's no reason for us to take care of him for the rest of his life. Since the second son has taken care of the family over the years, we'll stay here and take care of him for two or three days. Then we'll send him back to the Qin family and let Qin Menglan and her family take care of him."

"But the doctor just said that Qin Menglan was arrested." Li Cuihua said with a frown.

"Didn't Mom tell me? Qin Menglan's parents are both high-ranking officials and have great power in Tancheng. She was taken away by the Public Security Bureau for a few simple questions. Her parents will help her deal with the rest of the matter."

"Too."

Li Cuihua curled her lips, feeling somewhat jealous of Qin Menglan, whom she had never met before, jealous that she would be reborn into a wealthy and powerful family. She said reluctantly, "Then we'll wait here for the second child to wake up and stay here to take care of him for two or three days."

After they discussed the matter, they exchanged glances.

Gong Linglong, who was standing invisible nearby, saw this look and felt that they had other plans for coming here this time, but they were cautious and did not say it out loud.

There is more fun to watch next.

Gong Linglong hurried back to prepare lunch, turned around and left the hospital, found a deserted place, and rode her bicycle to the meat processing plant to buy vegetables.

I returned home and told my mother that Li Cuihua and the others were coming. Then I lit the fire, boiled the medicine, and started preparing lunch.

Bai Shuixian also came to help. She had just picked a bag of cabbage from the space and was slowly washing and picking the vegetables. She said, "Linglong, do you want to learn medicine?"

"Studying medicine?"

Gong Linglong had never thought about this before. In her previous life, she studied finance and economics. After graduation, she joined the Bai Group as an accountant. She started her revenge from the finance department and had never been exposed to medicine.

But this morning, seeing her mother's miraculous acupuncture skills, she was somewhat tempted. Perhaps it was due to her genetic talent, but she was actually a little interested. "Mom, I haven't learned it before. I only know the simple herbs you taught me. Is it too late for me to start now?"

"Of course there's still time. I actually didn't start learning Chinese medicine until I was sixteen or seventeen, and officially entered the profession after receiving the inheritance at eighteen. You're only a year or two behind now. With your intelligence, as long as you're interested, it's not too late."

Gong Linglong thought about it. The college entrance examination would be resumed at the end of next year. She would definitely seize this opportunity to go to college. The country would soon begin reform and opening up, and she also wanted to take advantage of this favorable situation to strike gold.

Seeing her hesitation, Bai Shuixian asked her, "Linglong, do you have any other plans?"

"Mom, I'm a little interested in studying medicine, but I don't want to be a doctor in the future. I just want to learn about the pharmaceutical industry."

Bai Shuixian was slightly surprised: "You want to study medicine, but you don't want to be a doctor?"

"Yes, that's not my ambition. I want to learn some medical knowledge. First, it's always good to have more skills, and second, it will prepare me for the future."

Gong Linglong paused briefly at this point, then lowered her voice and said, "Mom, continuing the inheritance requires a lot of merit. Practicing medicine and saving lives is indeed a good way to accumulate merit. However, you studied Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the current environment for Traditional Chinese Medicine is very poor, so there may not be opportunities for us to display our skills. In addition, treating illnesses and saving lives requires hands-on work. My mother and I have dedicated our entire lives to this field, and the merits we have accumulated may not be enough to ensure the continuation of the ancient bracelet's inheritance."
