Lin Chuxia wanted Wang Tianyu to see if Gu Peng needed any help over there.
The clothes he was wearing were in tatters.
I don’t even know if the hard-earned money he made in a day is enough for food. Besides eating, is there enough to buy so decent clothes?
Also, where is he living now?
Perhaps he’s still getting by under so broken bridge.
If that’s the case, I’ll take him to the dormitory first.
Both Xiyang Food Factory and Qin’s Buns Shop have employee dormitories.
Wang Tianyu wore a bitter expression, "I did as Mr. Lin instructed and spoke to him, but he seed to be wary of . He wouldn’t even say where he lived when I asked, and when I asked if he needed help, he just said no. I suggested buying him so clothes, he said he’d buy them himself, then he got fed up with following him and just told off."
By the end, Wang Tianyu was both frustrated and amused.
Not to ntion, he’s a grown man, with those tattered clothes and just a few dollars in his pocket—what’s there for anyone to covet?
Wang Tianyu started feeling that Mr. Lin’s decision was too hasty.
But as a subordinate, he certainly couldn’t question Mr. Lin’s decision.
He could only resolve inwardly: there’s no way anyone can take my place.
He wants to beco Mr. Lin’s number one assistant, an irreplaceable existence.
Seeing Lin Chuxia walking towards the driver’s seat of the jeep, Wang Tianyu quickly jogged over.
"Mr. Lin, let drive."
He had gotten his driver’s license last year and had been thinking about practicing a bit more before driving Mr. Lin, but he couldn’t worry about that now.
The reason Mr. Lin wanted to make Gu Peng an assistant was because he valued Gu Peng’s hard-working nature.
Thinking about the trip earlier, it was Mr. Lin driving and him in the passenger seat.
Which employer drives while the employee sits?
Mr. Lin hiring a hard-working person to be by his side—if this isn’t a jab at him, then what is?
He absolutely couldn’t let Mr. Lin think he wasn’t able to endure hardship.
Lin Chuxia raised an eyebrow; she did know Wang Tianyu had a license, but today he seed unusually eager to please.
"Alright, then drive a bit slower."
Lin Chuxia reminded him and then got into the back seat.
Since Gu Peng didn’t need Wang Tianyu’s help, it seed she’d have to handle it herself.
There were other matters in the afternoon, so Lin Chuxia had Wang Tianyu accompany her back to Qin Family Village.
Not long after entering the village, they saw a person lying on the roadside, writhing in pain.
It was almost noon, and likely everyone was at ho having lunch and resting, not a soul was on the road. Who knows how long that person had been lying there?
Wang Tianyu slowed down the car and glanced at Lin Chuxia in the rearview mirror.
After all, this was Lin Chuxia’s village and he didn’t know if Mr. Lin recognized the person.
Lin Chuxia did recognize the person. Wasn’t it Ma Suyun? Her house was just beside.
She was right in front of her house, what was she doing lying there?
As the car got closer, Lin Chuxia’s brows furrowed slightly, "Stop."
Ma Suyun was on the ground groaning in pain, with blood already seeping through her pants.
Had she fallen and miscarried?
Lin Chuxia asked Wang Tianyu to call for soone at Ma Suyun’s ho, and she got out of the car herself.
Wang Tianyu did a round of the house, then ca out shaking his head, "Mr. Lin, there’s no one at ho."
A short distance ahead was her elder brother Qin Liang’s house, so Lin Chuxia asked Wang Tianyu to call for them.
Ma Suyun was already semi-conscious, seeming to have been lying there for quite so ti.
Before long, Qin Liang and his wife ca over. Seeing Ma Suyun in such a state, Qian Chuncao clapped her thigh, "Oh dear, what happened? Where’s Da Wen?"
"I don’t know. There’s no one at ho. We should get her to the hospital first," said Lin Chuxia.
Qin Liang, being her brother-in-law, couldn’t touch her, so Qian Chuncao and Lin Chuxia helped get her into the car.
Together, they took her straight to the county hospital.
Seeing Ma Suyun’s condition, the doctor imdiately concluded the baby couldn’t be saved.
She was almost five months pregnant, and the miscarriage would be severely damaging to her body, requiring a D&C procedure.
Everyone helped get Ma Suyun to the maternity room.
After all the chaos, Qian Chuncao was distressed, "I said before, trying to have another baby so quickly was too rash. Look at the suffering now. Luckily, you encountered her; if not, Ma Suyun might have bled out lying there with no one to help."
Though the families had their grievances, they’d been sisters-in-law for many years, and no matter what, they couldn’t just ignore her.
"Da Wen, where on earth did he go? Never see him doing anything proper. Doesn’t take care of the children; leaves Da Ni with my mom for a whole day, and now even his wife is ignored..."
Qian Chuncao was still talking when the sound of hurried footsteps ca from a distance.
It was Qin Wen striding quickly over, looking for soone, "Where’s Suyun? Where did Suyun go?"
Qian Chuncao thought he was worried about Ma Suyun’s condition, so she responded, "She’s having surgery in there. The doctor said it was caught in ti, but Suyun’s in terrible shape. She’ll need plenty of recuperation when she gets back..."
"What surgery?" Qin Wen cut her off with a wave of his hand.
If Qian Chuncao hadn’t dodged quickly, she might have gotten hit in the face by his arm.
Qin Liang frowned disapprovingly, "What are you raving about? What surgery, you say? When there’s soone like her at ho, you don’t take care, and here you are at noon running off. If it weren’t for my sister-in-law encountering this, who knows how things would have turned out today."
Qin Wen’s expression changed, and he stord towards the operating room, "My son is perfectly fine. What surgery? You all are heartless, can’t stand others being well. No one’s touching my son..."
Qin Liang quickly pulled him back, "Be reasonable."
"I can’t be reasonable," he suddenly turned his head to Lin Chuxia, "Is it you? You’re always in cahoots with Qin Han and the others, resentful of my reporting Qin Han back then, so now you expose us too?"
Qian Chuncao finally understood what he ant, "Da Wen, what nonsense are you spouting? Chuxia saw Suyun fall at the doorstep and notified us to bring her to the hospital. No one reported you."
Qin Wen was about to say more when the doctor ca out of the maternity room.
"Why are you arguing? Don’t you know this is a hospital and loud noises are not allowed?"
Qin Wen grabbed the doctor’s arm, "Doctor, is my son alright?"
"Your son? What are you talking about?" The doctor looked bewildered, glanced at Qian Chuncao and Lin Chuxia, "Everything was cleaned thoroughly, but the patient is severely malnourished and anemic, she needs proper nutrition and rest."
Qin Wen stood frozen for a mont as if only just realizing what the doctor said, then stord toward the maternity room.
Soon after, a roar ca from inside, and he rushed back out with bloodshot eyes, glaring at Lin Chuxia.
"Was it you? It must have been you. I know you hold a grudge against us and can’t stand seeing us well. You have a daughter and can’t have a son yourself, so you don’t want us to have a son either. Lin Chuxia, how can you be so vicious?"
