Early morning.
Yang Chen got up at five, ran alone to the hilltop, and sat cross-legged on a stone to train.
He felt that training on the hilltop seed to be more effective, and he felt refreshed.
By the ti he returned, it was already six o’clock.
When Yang Chen ca back, he happened to see Gao Hong washing up, preparing to go for a run.
Gao Hong looked at Yang Chen, his face filled with embarrassnt, and said to Yang Chen, "Well... I..."
Yang Chen said lightly, "Besides diligence, find more thods and feel more."
Gao Hong nodded and ran out.
Yang Chen washed his face and started knocking on Li Wanwan’s room door.
Last night, the four girls squeezed into one room.
"Wanwan, get up!" Yang Chen shouted and then started packing things.
About half an hour later, Li Wanwan finally ca out, her face full of sleepy confusion.
Yang Chen had already packed up and said to Li Wanwan, "Let’s go, treat your mother!"
Yang Chen had calculated the ti, and it was just right for the second treatnt.
When they entered the room, Yang Chen applied acupuncture again, repeating the process.
After Wang Guilan took the dicine, they waited fifteen minutes before Yang Chen began massaging for recovery.
At this ti, soone outside shouted, "Wanwan! Guilan!"
Li Wanwan looked at Yang Chen and Wang Guilan.
Wang Guilan said to Li Wanwan, "Go outside and see who has co."
Li Wanwan nodded and went out.
When she got to the yard, she saw her Fourth Uncle and Fifth Uncle standing there.
"Fourth Uncle, Fifth Uncle," Li Wanwan said.
Fourth Uncle said, "Wanwan, we heard soone ca to your ho to treat your mom?"
"Isn’t it a comrade of your brother?" Fifth Uncle asked.
"Yes, it is," Li Wanwan nodded.
"Are you sure of his identity? How can you believe anyone? What if he’s a fraud!" Fourth Uncle said.
Fifth Uncle also said, "Exactly! Your family is just you and your mother, conn like to target people like that!"
Li Wanwan didn’t want to hear others call Yang Chen a fraud, so she imdiately defended, "Brother Chen is not a fraud."
Upon hearing Li Wanwan call Yang Chen "Brother Chen," Fourth Uncle imdiately widened his eyes, "And he’s not a fraud! Did that person leave last night? Where did he sleep? Did he bully you!"
Li Wanwan, albeit young and inexperienced, knew so things. Hearing this, she imdiately said anxiously, "Fourth Uncle, what nonsense are you spouting!"
"Nonsense? Rember this! You are a mber of the Li family, and you must never do anything to disgrace the Li family!" Fourth Uncle said angrily.
The way he looked, it was as if he had already concluded that Li Wanwan had not maintained her purity and had so relationship with Yang Chen.
"Old Fourth! What crap are you spewing!" Wang Guilan stood at the door, yelling angrily.
Fourth Uncle and Fifth Uncle were dumbfounded to see Wang Guilan standing at the door, unbelievably looking at her. They knew Wang Guilan had a disabled leg and couldn’t stand.
Yet Wang Guilan was standing now, leaving the two stupefied.
Wang Guilan pointed at the two of them in anger, "Old Fourth, Old Fifth, you two are truly sothing! What have we done to disgrace the Li family? Think about what your second brother did! And you still have the face to say we’re part of your Li family? When have you ever cared for us, mother and daughter? My son’s comrade finally ca to help us, and you’re hastily slandering our Wanwan. What do you an by that?"
Wang Guilan was furious.
Her daughter was still a pure girl, not yet an adult, graduating from middle school this year. If what they said got out, how could her daughter face people in the future?
Old Fourth and Old Fifth were embarrassed by Wang Guilan’s words.
"Your leg..." Old Fourth stared at Wang Guilan’s leg and asked.
"It’s healed!" Wang Guilan glared, "Xiaochen healed it!"
Old Fourth was sowhat incredulous, "Just in one day..."
"What’s one day? My son’s comrade is a battlefield doctor, treating people on the battlefield. To treat a person like is nothing!" Wang Guilan said coldly.
"This..." Old Fourth and Old Fifth exchanged looks, sowhat in disbelief.
At this mont, several cars stopped at the door.
Several people got out of the cars, stood at the door, and asked, "Excuse , is this Wang Guilan’s house?"
Imdiately, everyone turned to look at the door.
But when they saw the person standing at the door, they were all stunned.
Especially Old Fourth and Old Fifth, they looked in disbelief at the person standing at the door.
Isn’t this the person from the county?
How could such a high-ranking official co here?
Wang Guilan was also stunned, looking incredulously at the big official, recalling the strange stories her daughter told her last night. Could they be true?
"Yes! It’s here!" Li Wanwan, knowing what’s going on, quickly replied.
The county official, seeing Li Wanwan, confird that this was indeed Wang Guilan’s house.
He walked in with a smile, signaled his n carrying things to co in, and said to Wang Guilan, "Ms. Wang Guilan, our county leaders heard about your situation and are very concerned! We sympathize greatly with your family’s situation. This is a token of our regard, please accept it."
Wang Guilan looked in the direction the county officer pointed and saw that they had brought many things: two boxes of cooking oil, two boxes of apples, two bags of flour, two bags of rice, two quilts, two sheep, two pigs, a cow, and so cash.
These gifts left Wang Guilan stunned.
"As the saying goes," the county official said, "it’s better to teach people to fish than to give them fish. Besides so daily necessities, we bring you cattle, sheep, and pigs, hoping you can rely on breeding to improve your family’s life. Though the cash is not much, it represents so intention from our county, so you can buy so recuperative products to convalesce, and about your illness..."
ntioning the illness, the county official blinked, looking at Wang Guilan standing, sowhat puzzled.
During yesterday’s questioning, he was clear about Wang Guilan’s condition through the descriptions by the director and Zhou Yao, but now...
"My illness has already improved!" Wang Guilan said excitedly, "Thank you for your concern, my guard has let Xiaochen treat , Xiaochen is my son’s comrade."
The county official looked at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen said lightly, "Not yet, it’s just initially effective, curing it will take so ti."
The county official found it hard to believe, "Did you not just yesterday..."
Yang Chen said lightly, "Finding the right lesion, treatnt is not difficult."
Hearing this, the county official’s eyes flashed with shock, and he also began to ponder...
Old Fourth and Old Fifth, watching this scene, were completely stunned.
They never expected that a couple of county officials would co here, and from the way the county official spoke, addressed Yang Chen as "you," seemingly very respectful.
"Guilan, who are these people..." Old Fourth thought for a mont and asked.
Wang Guilan looked at Old Fourth coldly and said, "There’s nothing more, you can go back now!"
After what Old Fourth said about her daughter, naturally, Wang Guilan wouldn’t give him any good looks.
Being widows and orphans in the village was already hard enough; if Wang Guilan didn’t show so strength, they would be bullied relentlessly.
