Although Guo Chengsong was a little disappointed, he still smiled and said, “That’s great. A flower must first bloom before it can bear fruit. In the future, when she grows up, she can help Chunhong take care of our other children.”
“That’s right; flowers must first bloom before they can bear fruit.” Widow Hua nodded repeatedly. She took out a jar from her basket and said, “Since you were injured and Chunhong just gave birth, I slaughtered a chicken to cook a nourishing meal for you two. You should eat it while it’s hot.
“I will bring you lunch at noon.”
“Sorry for making you worry. Mother, “Have you eaten?”
“I’ve left some chicken soup. I’ll just make a bowl of chicken noodle soup later.” After Widow Hua finished speaking, she filled a glass of water for him. “Sorry that you have to suffer here for two more days; come home when you can take care of yourself. Otherwise, it’ll be too hectic at home.”
“I’m sorry to trouble you.” Guo Chengsong nodded.
“We’re family; no need to be so polite.” After saying that, Widow Hua took the basket and walked out.
Afterward, she said a few polite words to Zhou Ying and rushed home.
When Guo Chengsong finished the small jar of chicken soup, he finally had his fill.
Gu Chengrui’s bowl of medicine arrived shortly.
After taking medicine, Guo Chengsong had just laid down when he heard the sound of a gong being struck. He heard someone shouting, “Each family, send someone to discuss matters under the big locust tree at the village entrance.”
Gu Chengrui was startled for a moment. He walked out and said, “Babe, you go ahead. I have to stay at home. There will be many people coming for their medicine.”
“Alright, I’ll go then. If they want us to make any big decisions, we’ll discuss it when I get back.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she put the beans in her hand to dry, put her apron aside, and walked to the village entrance.
When she arrived at the village entrance, she saw that many people were already gathered around the locust tree.
Seeing her come over, everyone was stunned for a moment as they looked over in unison. Zhou Ying was also feeling a little embarrassed.
Because the people sitting here were all men, and most of them were elderly. It was indeed quite jarring for her to stand here as a member of the opposite sex.
“Zhou Ying, is Chengrui not coming?” The patriarch asked.
“Yes, we have a patient at home, so he can’t leave.” Zhou Ying replied.
When she said this, everyone remembered that the Hua family’s son-in-law had been almost beaten to death and was staying at their house.
“How’s Guo Chengsong’s injury? Has he woken up yet?” Someone asked immediately.
“He’s awake. He’ll be fine after a good rest because it’s mostly just external injuries.” Zhou Ying replied.
“That’s good. Let’s quiet down and start the meeting.” After the patriarch finished speaking, he looked at Tian Jingzhong and the village chief and retreated to the side.
Tian Jingzhong looked at the village chief and said, “You should announce it; I’ll add on if there’s anything.”
The village chief nodded and then talked about everyone’s relatives staying in the village. “Everyone saw what happened yesterday. I wonder what you all think.”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately echoed, “What else do we think? Of course, we should be chasing them out. Although our village is in a better state than others, we are also at a point where we are unsure whether we will be able to eat another meal.
“If those people stay any longer, we’ll be squeezed dry to our last drop of blood.”
“You can’t say that. They’re all our family. We can’t just watch them starve to death.:
“Indeed, it’s better to help if we can.”
“That’s nice of you to offer, but are you willing to house them? Don’t get yourself into trouble when you can’t even have a meal for dinner.”
