Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 186 Zhuang Shouren's Reflection

Jiang Yu went out to take a look and saw that the injured person was quickly taken away by the doctor, while everyone else surrounded Zhuang Shouren, asking about the situation.

Zhuang Shouren was extremely worried. The reason why the injured went into the mountains was to collect firewood, because all the dry firewood at home was used to burn the kang and dry the rice, and there was not much firewood left at home. If they did not go into the mountains in advance to collect firewood and dry it, then they would not even have firewood to boil water and cook the next day or the day after tomorrow.

In fact, quite a few people went up the mountain for lunch break. Because it was a hot day, no one would store a lot of dry firewood, so this accident happened.

The injured man's wife squatted by the wall, crying, looking very pitiful.

Lin Anna heard the noise on the third floor, but the police officer in charge would never allow her to go out, so she could only listen carefully.

After Jiang Yu got the information he wanted from their scattered conversations, he returned to the ward.

Xue Li put down the newspaper and looked over. "What's wrong?"

"A man from the fourth team broke his leg." Jiang Yu poured himself a glass of water and took a sip before answering her.

"From the construction team?" Xue Li was very surprised.

What happened to the construction team? Is there a dark cloud over the sky?

"Yes." Jiang Yu also had an expression that was hard to describe. "I went into the mountains to collect firewood and fell into a trap. Fortunately, there were no branches or anything in the trap..." Otherwise, I would not only be injured.

Xue Li shuddered twice, "What kind of firewood is there to pick up on this day?"

Jiang Yu explained the reason to her.

"So, the brigade has to bear this responsibility, right?" Xue Li immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Since it was caused by the brigade's rush to harvest, they couldn't just let them pay for their own medical expenses.

Jiang Yu was unsure and just shrugged, "It depends on how Zhuang Shouren and the others arrange it."

She was too lazy to even call him uncle now. The mask of this seemingly honest and fair good person had been completely shattered in front of Jiang Yu.

Xue Li nodded, "Indeed, we can't make the decision. It's just a pity for this family that they injured a strong laborer at a critical moment. Their work points this year will probably be much less." Rural people care a lot about work points because it is related to their own income.

“Just wait and see. If we rush to harvest in this weather, there will be a lot of people getting sick and having fevers afterwards.” Jiang Yu understood the feelings of Zhuang Shouren and the farmers in the village, but was it really worth it to work so hard?

Of course, only those who have paid for it know whether it is worth it, but those who have money and confidence in their pockets naturally don’t understand.

In the evening, Zhuang Shouren walked into the ward.

He probably didn't expect that Jiang Yu and Xue Li were also in this room. He stopped immediately and looked at them awkwardly.

Jiang Yu was solving a problem with his math book, while Xue Li was also studying. They both looked up at Zhuang Shouren but didn't say anything and continued to work on their own things.

Zhuang Shouren was relieved when he saw this. He was a little afraid of Jiang Yu now.

The scene where she hit him on the head with the broken stone from the brick kiln seemed to have happened just a second ago. What if she had thrown it harder? What would have happened?

She was obviously just a teenage girl, but who wouldn't be terrified by her ferocious look when she threw stones and smashed the wild boar?

What's more, Zhuang Shouren was originally a timid man.

Zhuang Shouren walked into the ward, his pace unconsciously quickened, until he stood by the window, farthest away from Jiang Yu, he breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the little girl lying on the bed, and greeted her warmly, "Er Ni'er, how are you? Does the wound still hurt?"

"It hurts." Erni answered obediently.

"It hurts a lot. Erni is so brave. She didn't even cry even in pain. She's great." Zhuang Shouren relaxed and spoke to the little girl in a friendly manner.

The little girl was easy to coax and she burst into laughter after just a few words.

Zhuang Shouren's visiting time was very short. After all, there were many villagers in hospital, and he had to visit them one by one. If someone's injuries had recovered well, and a tractor happened to be available today, he could just take the person away, which would save trouble for the patient.

Jiang Yu looked at Zhuang Shouren's back as he quickly left and smiled, "Is he scared?"

Xue Li smiled, "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that you will hit him? After all, he is the captain! It's not that serious."

"That's right, you still have to act like a captain." Jiang Yu didn't think it was necessary. Who would be so timid as a leader? The captain of the militia company was his nephew, which meant that the whole militia company belonged to his family. Wouldn't he be very confident?

After all, there is a wooden warehouse in the militia company. Who would not be afraid of the power of firearms?

Zhuang Shouren finally went to the ward where Lin Anna was living alone and took a look at her.

Lin Anna had a broken leg, but she had recovered from the blow. Her long, clean and shiny braids were draped over her chest, and she had a fake smile on her face that seemed to have been measured with a ruler. When she saw Zhuang Shouren looking over, she even greeted him with a relaxed expression, "Captain, long time no see."

Zhuang Shouren glared at them angrily. He would never forget the source of all these accidents. They were all caused by Lin Anna, the troublemaker. How could she still have the nerve to smile? ?

Lin Anna ignored his anger. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she took the initiative to ask him if he had anything to do today.

Zhuang Shouren pursed his lips, as if there was a fire burning in his heart. If it weren't for her, there wouldn't be so many injured people in the village, and the harvest wouldn't be delayed, at least it wouldn't have developed to this point!

"You look happy? You injured so many people and you might be shot, and you can still smile?"

"You see, I can still be treated in the hospital. The possibility of being shot is really small." Lin Anna already knew the result, so she was naturally not worried at all. She even forgot the huge worry of implicating her family, and had already started planning how to get Chen Jinghan next.

After all, no matter how terrible Lin Jianshe is, as long as she marries Chen Jinghan, all of this will no longer be a problem. As long as she marries Chen Jinghan...

When Zhuang Shouren heard her say this, he immediately had a bad feeling, "What do you mean?"

Lin Anna smiled but said nothing.

The policeman next to her had a gloomy face and glared at the smug Lin Anna, wishing he could scold her to vent his anger.

Zhuang Shouren's eyes shifted between the two of them several times, and he felt more and more uneasy. He clenched his fists, turned around and went downstairs.

But when he reached the stairs he stopped again, he didn't know who to look for.

Who could help him? In the past few years when he was the team leader of the construction team, the elders would come forward to handle any problems, and he only had to give an explanation to the villagers. Over time, he even neglected to develop some connections. It was ridiculous that there was no one to turn to when the time came.

He didn't know anyone at the police station, and he only had a superior-subordinate relationship with the commune leader to report work. Who could he find to work on Lin Anna's case? Zhuang Shouren looked blankly at the flow of people in the hall.
