Mi Jianguo and Yu Hongyan left.
Xu Dongsheng stood in the courtyard with his hands clasped behind his back.
He seemed to have tidied himself up on purpose today. He wore a pair of blue canvas pants and a white shirt. The buttons were buttoned from top to bottom, and not a single one was missing. He looked a little reserved, and was completely different from his usual casual and carefree self. He was like a completely different person.
Mi Xaing 'er asked, "Uncle Xu, why are you here?"
Xu Dongsheng did not answer in detail. He looked at the Tang Xiling and saw her sitting under the roof. She was thin and pale. Her head was lowered, and a few strands of white hair could be seen on her temples. She was silently playing with her fingers.
His lips trembled slightly. "Mi Xaing 'er, Mom, it's me. Are you … are you okay?"
The Tang Xiling slowly raised her head. Her gaze was blank, as if she could not focus. She did not say anything and lowered her head again.
Xu Dongsheng did not say anything. He looked at Fu Bowen lovingly. "Are you the child in the shelter? Are you used to living in the village? If you have any problems in the future, come and look for me."
He then looked at Mi Xaing 'er. "After Captain Shen left yesterday, he specially came to my house to say a few words."
Mi Xaing 'er nodded.
This was normal.
The police had to inform the village chief about the Tang Xiling's repatriation. The reason why they sent her home last night was probably because of the Yun siblings. "So, Uncle Xu, you know about my mom's situation, right?"
"Yes, Xiang 'er. Your mom has suffered a lot outside. Let's think about it. There are so many people in the shelter. There are all kinds of rascals. Your mom is a woman. It's really not easy for her to come back alive. You must treat her well."
"Yes, I know."
Xu Dongsheng pondered for a moment. "Xiang 'er, I think that since your mom is back home, she must be treated. She must not be delayed."
"That's right, it's just a short while. I don't know how to treat it."
Xu Dongsheng seemed to have thought about it carefully and did not beat around the bush. "Yes, we can't go to the big hospitals in the Provincial Capital. We don't have the time and energy to go back and forth. Besides, your mother is uneasy. Western medicine can't help her. Maybe she'll be better after a few doses of Chinese medicine to calm her down."
He paced around the courtyard twice and said, "I've already thought about it. We'll look for the best Chinese medicine practitioner, Xiao Qingshan, who was sent to Sanfang Village. He used to treat the provincial leaders, but he has a bad temper. Now that he's stopped treating patients, I have no choice but to be thick-skinned and beg him."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Yun Jingting came out of the kitchen and greeted him graciously, "Village Chief Xu, you're here!"
"Ah." Xu Dongsheng was slightly stunned when he saw him, but his expression immediately returned to normal. "Head Of Yun is here too!"
"Yes." Yun Jingting did not stand on ceremony and went straight to the point. "Village Chief, I heard what you said. Leave the matter of looking for Xiao Qingshan to me!"
Xu Dongsheng slapped his forehead. "That's great! I was still worried that it wouldn't be easy for me to come forward. With you around, this matter will definitely be settled!"
Yun Jingting walked up to Village Chief Xu and lowered his voice. "Can we go out and talk for a while? I want to talk to you alone!"
Xu Dongsheng nodded. "Sure!"
He turned around and said to Mi Xaing 'er, "I think your mother's condition is not very good now. Help her into the house to rest. I'll give you a few days off. Stay at home and accompany her!"
After he finished speaking, he followed Yun Jingting out of the courtyard.
Mi Xaing 'er helped Tang Xiling into the house. Fu Bowen followed behind them eagerly, pouring water and making the quilt. Tang Xiling lay on the bed sickly. She was no longer as imposing as before.
Her intermittent mental illness was really unpredictable. It came and went quickly, and no one could figure out what was going on.
Fu Bowen rested his chin on his two small hands and leaned on the edge of the kang bed. He looked at Tang Xiling quietly, completely silent and deep.
Mi Xaing 'er patted his head. She felt that this child was sensible, well-behaved, and a little pitiful at the same time. She could not help but sigh. "Did I scare you just now?"
Fu Bowen shrugged casually. "What's there to be scared of? It's just a small matter. When Godma and I were in the shelter, we encountered much bigger things!"
Mi Xaing 'er felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart. Although this "mother and son" did not talk about it in detail, they must have experienced many things that they should not have.
Tang Xiling looked at her daughter and smiled. There was some comfort in her eyes. "Xiang 'er, you've changed …"
"Yes …"
"I really didn't expect you to be so fearless. You even dared to hit Yu Hongyan!"
"Oh …" Mi Xaing 'er looked at her mother's clear eyes. She was already used to her mother's sudden clear-headed and confused state. "If others don't offend me, I won't offend them. I hit them back. There's nothing wrong with that, right?"
"What you did was right …" Tang Xiling shook her head with disappointment on her face. "Look at your father. It's obvious that he has never protected you before. Really …"
She stopped talking and changed the topic. "There's something that I don't understand. We've already caused a ruckus in the courtyard. Why didn't your husband come out? He's really calm. It's as if nothing happened. Based on his character, he shouldn't be like this …"
Mi Xaing 'er chuckled. "Mom, there's a kind of relationship called trust. He should know in his heart that if I can't even handle such a small matter, then I'm not the woman he married. Besides, he's a big man. What can he do when a bunch of women are arguing in the courtyard?"
Tang Xiling pursed her lips. "That's not right. In my opinion, he's just hiding in the kitchen because he doesn't want to publicize your relationship …"
Fu Bowen interrupted like a little adult. "Mom, what you said is not right. Once the village chief mentioned treating you, didn't Brother-in-law come out?"
Mi Xaing 'er pursed her lips into a smile. This child was really smart.
Yun Jingting came back.
She stood in the courtyard and shouted, "Mi Xaing 'er, let's eat!"
"Yes, I'm coming." Mi Xaing 'er rushed to the kitchen in a few steps. She did not serve the dishes. Instead, she tilted her head and seemed to be testing her. "Yun Jingting, let me ask you something. There was such a huge ruckus in the courtyard just now. Why didn't you come out?"
Yun Laohu's eyes widened. "Wasn't that your highest order? I had to stay in the kitchen to cook!"
"Oh, you listen to everything I say!"
"Of course, you're my wife." Yun Jingting raised her head proudly. "Besides, there's a kind of relationship called trust. If you can't even handle such a small matter, then you're not the woman I married!"
Mi Xaing 'er pursed her lips into a smile.
Oh wow!
The two people's answers were surprisingly consistent.
This man was capable!
He believed in his wife's capability!
----- Digression —
Mi Xaing's mother still did not trust Tiger. Tiger would solve it, right?
