Chapter 887: Purpose

They traveled along the main road for about ten li before meeting Fu Yan Cheng and Fu Yanming, who had come to pick them up.

As soon as Fu Yan Cheng got out of the carriage, he first asked Fu Yanwei about the situation, and did not forget to hand a cigarette to the driver: "You've worked hard, fellow villager."

The uncle driving the carriage was a simple man; he took the cigarette and kept saying, "No trouble, no trouble."

He thought to himself: City people are so particular. They came to send someone off themselves, but in the village, a fee was collected; using my carriage also counted as work points. Working hard was only to be expected.

After clarifying the situation, Fu Yan Cheng looked at his second daughter-in-law on the ox cart: "Don't be afraid. I've already asked the fourth brother to find someone familiar at the hospital. As soon as we arrive, we'll go straight into the operating room."

Having finished speaking, he looked at the grandson in Fu Yanwei's arms: "Jinze, come to Grandpa. Let your father carry your mother onto the carriage."

While reaching out to take the grandson, he looked at his eldest son: "Yanming, help them put the things in the trunk. Let's hurry and go."

Hao Yanhong's leg was truly broken, but not as severe as they had claimed. She naturally dared not cause any more trouble, politely thanked the carriage driver, and was then carried onto the carriage by Fu Yanwei.

Fu Yanming put all the items from their carriage onto the vehicle, then said to the driver: "Fellow villager, go back slowly. We'll be leaving first."

Saying this, he got into the carriage and looked at his nephew in Fu Yan Cheng's arms on the driver's seat: "Jinze, come to Uncle. Your grandpa needs to drive."

Fu Jinze turned his head away: "No, I want to sit next to Mom and Dad."

Fu Yanming did not indulge him: "Your mother's leg is injured. She cannot be bumped or knocked, or it will get worse. Your father has to take care of your mother and has no time to look after you."

Saying this, he directly reached out and carried the child over.

A five-year-old child was already sensible. Hearing his uncle's words, he unusually did not throw a tantrum. Instead, he knelt and crawled in his uncle's arms, looking back at his parents: "Then I'll sit with Uncle and watch Mom and Dad."

After the carriage had traveled a distance, Hao Yanhong spoke: "Father, Younger Sister returned to the city, yet no one told us."

Fu Yan Cheng was already unhappy about Fu Yanwan's matter, and now Hao Yanhong had hit a sore spot: "She returned to the city to visit relatives. What would she tell you? Did you ever return to the city to tell her anything?"

The couple sitting behind heard these words and exchanged a glance: Had they misunderstood?

Hao Yanhong tested the waters: "Younger Sister just went back to visit relatives?"

Fu Yanming, sitting in the front passenger seat, did not want her to continue discussing this: "If not to visit relatives, what do you think it was? Second Sister-in-law, Second Brother said your leg injury is quite severe. Do you still have the mood to inquire about Younger Sister's affairs?"

Hearing these words, Hao Yanhong was so frightened she dared not ask anything else. She forced a smile: "Look at what Big Brother says. I just wanted to distract myself. Otherwise, thinking only about the leg injury makes the time too hard to endure."

However, by now both Fu Yan Cheng and Fu Yanming had also realized that the second couple had likely exaggerated. As for exactly how severe the injury was, they would only know after an examination at the hospital.

Fu Yanwei had not spoken at all, but he was not idle either.

He kept thinking about how to explain things to them once they arrived at the hospital.

He could not help but turn his head to look at Hao Yanhong. Seizing the opportunity to smooth her stray hair, he leaned close to her ear and said: "Once we get to the hospital, it's up to you."

After Hao Yanhong nodded lightly, she looked at her son. While interacting with him, she was still distracted, thinking: She must use this time at home during the New Year to get Father-in-law to find a way to get them back to the city. She did not want to stay in the countryside for another single day.

Besides, the fourth brother was about to get married. Could they let his family stay in the countryside forever?
