Rebirth Autumn Returns to the Countryside

"Qiu'er's grandmother, we are old neighbors who have lived here for most of our lives. The Nayu family has long regretted coming to our house to cause trouble. Please let them go for the sake of our old neighbors!"

"That's right. Killing people is not enough. We watched your house being built with our own eyes. Only the three main rooms are made of bricks, and the two rooms you two old people live in are made of adobe inlaid with gold and jade. How much are they worth? Not to mention the two west rooms that were built haphazardly. They cost no more than tens of thousands of dollars at most!"

When Leng Yanqiu went out to buy lunch, he came back and saw five or six acquaintances sitting in the ward. They were neighbors from Ma Liu Village. Last time, they went home to praise the delicious cooking of Grandma Leng.

Are you here to plead for mercy from your family?

Grandpa Leng didn't want to argue with a bunch of women, so he curled up under the quilt and pretended to sleep. Because there were few chairs in the ward, two fat butts sat on the edge of his small bed. They spit all over the place and moved their bodies, and the bed creaked from time to time.

How pitiful.

Grandma Leng was the main target of the attack. She stood between two hospital beds, her back resting against a white metal table. She tried to lean back, and it was obvious that she had no strength to resist.

After Leng Yanqiu pushed the door open and came in, no one took her seriously. They continued to persuade her as usual: "Qiu's grandmother, you have to go and tell the police. We don't want to spend money against our conscience. Ask his family to pay for the medical expenses, no matter how much it costs..."

"How much hard work compensation did the You family give each of you?" A cold voice interrupted the earnest words.

"What? What did you say?" The atmosphere in the ward was awkward. "We didn't - we didn't!"

"Go back and tell You's family that the compensation will have to be increased by another 10,000 yuan." Leng Yanqiu put away the thermos, stretched out his arms, and pushed the lobbyists out of the ward door like chasing chickens in the village.

With a bang, the door closed.

"Hey, what are you doing - Qiu'er, how can you be so ignorant and ungrateful? Do you know the rules? We are all your elders -"

"Excuse me, can you lend me your phone?" Leng Yanqiu ignored their accusations and reached out to borrow the cell phone from the nurse who came over when she heard the sound.

She had memorized Director Leng's cell phone number, and when she dialed it, she got a notification: "Director Leng, I've changed my mind. The You family must pay 130,000 yuan in compensation, and they don't have to build the house. In addition, for every additional group of people who come to harass us, they will have to pay an additional 10,000 yuan. If you don't agree, I'll file a criminal case."

"Swish", the world becomes quiet.

Leng Yanqiu returned the phone without even giving a glance to the stunned neighbors, and closed the ward door again.

"Squeak", the door opened again, and Leng Yanqiu came out again, holding a basket of eggs in his hand, and pushed it directly into the arms of the nearest neighbor.

"Squeak", the door closed again and no one came out.

"This little girl from the Leng family is so ignorant!" he said in a low voice.

The smell of food rose in the ward again. Grandpa Leng said, "Qiu'er, you and your grandma eat first. I feel uncomfortable. I will eat after the infusion is finished."

Leng Yanqiu: "Then I'll ask the doctor to come and take a look and prescribe new medicine. If not, we can go to the city hospital."

Grandpa Leng: "No, no, I'm fine now. We have to leave the hospital in the afternoon."

Grandma Leng: I don’t want to eat either, but I dare not say it.

These past few days, my granddaughter has suddenly become sensible and capable of taking on responsibilities, but she has also become very capable, often showing an aura of having the final say.

I originally wanted to ask my granddaughter how much money she wanted the You family to pay in compensation, but I was too embarrassed to ask because I had previously told my granddaughter to make the decision.

Alas, it’s all because of the only son who refused to go home.

After Leng Yanqiu finished cleaning up the dishes, she looked at the infusion bottle that had little fluid left and said, "It's inconvenient without a cell phone. I have to go buy another one. You two should rest for a while after the infusion. If anything happens, call the doctor."

In fact, it is very fast. I don’t plan to buy a second-hand one this time. Although it is cheap and usable, its storage capacity is low and it is troublesome to charge it all the time.

First replace the card, then choose a new phone, ask the salesperson to help you download the backup software, pay and leave.

It was still the same mobile phone number. It had only been used for two days and there were not many numbers saved in it, but it was emitting a series of ding-dong sounds, as if it was very busy with business.

WeChat friend "Chengnan Wangjia Authentic Chive Box": "My dear classmate, are you there?"

"Little classmate, I also want your chives. Can you give me two pounds a day?"

"Five pounds a day is fine, just give me a squeak!"

"Six kilograms a day. Tell me the address and I'll drive there to pick it up."

"Little classmate, everything is negotiable. Ten or twenty kilograms a day! Why don't you say something?"

Leng Yanqiu: “Squeak.”

Then went back to the hospital.

I couldn't take care of selling vegetables yet, so I asked the doctor to check the old man's body before discharging him from the hospital.

It is hard to find out what is wrong with a heart disease patient when he is not having an attack. The old man looked like he wished he would never come to the hospital again, so the doctor readily processed his discharge procedures.

The young nurse chased out and explained to Leng Yanqiu: "Director Leng called my cell phone and asked what happened at noon."

"Thank you." Leng Yanqiu started the electric tricycle. The two old people squeezed on the back seat of the tricycle, which was quite heavy.

The three persons and six people came to live in the courtyard with empty hands. When they left, they found two small bags and a plastic bag of eating utensils, looking like they were living a normal life.

However, the two elderly people are still a little nervous about the unknown rental life.

Until the electric tricycle arrived in front of a high-walled courtyard at the east end of Maliu Village.

After getting off the car and opening the door, the old couple found that what they valued most was not the main house, but the vegetable garden which was five times bigger than the previous Leng family yard.

After Leng Yanqiu's care and the nourishment of spiritual energy, the entire vegetable garden is full of vitality and lush green.

"Qiu'er, whose vegetables are these? We have rented them, so we have to return them to them, right?" Grandma Leng looked reluctant. There were several plots of vegetables that they needed to be eaten, but they were definitely not grown by her.

"No need to pay it back. Once we rent it, all the vegetables are ours. We'll be relying on these vegetables to earn a living in the future." Leng Yanqiu's answer greatly pleased the old couple. If they hadn't forcibly helped Grandpa Leng to the kang with bedding spread out, he would have wanted to go into the vegetable garden to weed immediately.

Grandma Leng then took a good look around the house, and for a while she looked at the invisible inner door with inlaid glass, then went to the back room to explore, and from time to time she could hear her "tsk tsk" sound.

The back room connected to the bedroom is slightly smaller and judging by the design it should be an indoor bathroom, but as there is no running water, there are two large plastic buckets next to the washbasin rack.

Leng Yanqiu had cleaned the room inside and out. There were buckets and basins filled with spare water. The newly bought thermos was also warm enough, and the bedding was new and soft.

After inspecting the room she lived in, Grandma Leng went to look at the other two rooms and expressed her satisfaction.

Better than the previous Leng family’s house, the new one has a large cement floor and a white plaster ceiling. How big are the cabinets in the middle that serve as partitions? How much can they hold?

"Qiu'er, when we rebuild our house, should we build it in this style? When your dad brings my grandson home for the New Year, I'm sure he won't want to leave!"
