Chapter 109: Fate plays tricks on us
After thanking the person, I walked along the road pointed to me.
Knowing that they were coming, Mrs. Zhang prepared tea and then waited with the old lady at the gate of the courtyard.
"Aunt Wen, long time no see." When they just arrived at the fork in the road, they saw the old lady standing there looking at them. Xiao Pingyu immediately walked over, took the old lady's hand and greeted her.
It stands to reason that when the old lady of the Xiao family was still alive, she and Xiao Pingyu were close friends, but after the old lady passed away, the health of the old man Xiao was getting worse day by day, and the family was really worried, so the youngest son took the old man back to his hometown in Sichuan Province to spend his remaining years. So now only Xiao Pingyu is still in the capital. Now that he has his own family, he has less contact with these old people.
"Pingyu, you're here. Come on, come on, go into the house. You all go in too. Old Ruan and Old Gu are waiting here." The old lady took Xiao Pingyu's hand and led them into the house.
"Uncle Ruan, Uncle Gu, long time no see." Lu Zhixing brought the children and the He family to the two old men.
"Come on, sit down. It's so hot, have a drink of water first." Mr. Ruan said as he was about to pour them some water.
"Grandpa Ruan, let's do it ourselves." Lu Shuyu, the eldest son of the Lu family, did not dare to let the old man pour water for him. He immediately stepped forward and grabbed the teapot on the table and started pouring water for everyone.
"Why did you come here together today?" Seeing that Lu Shuyu had good eyesight, the old man did not move and just looked at them and asked.
"Uncle Ruan, we came here today mainly to express our gratitude," Lu Zhixing said after taking a sip of the water poured by his son.
"Oh, why are you thanking us?" His words of thanks confused the two old men. They haven't done anything recently.
"Uncle Ruan, this is what happened..." After that, Lu Zhixing recounted the process of Ruan Ruan rescuing people, and emphasized what Ruan Ruan had told them to say. He felt that this must be easy to explain clearly, otherwise it would be bad if the old man misunderstood that they betrayed their savior.
"In other words, you're here to thank our girl! Hey, you're panting so hard when you talk, I thought I did something to help you recently!"
The two elders had already received the information about what Lu Zhixing and the others were talking about, but they didn't know that Ruan Ruan asked them to say that. She was trying to lead people to her side. This girl was really very opinionated. But they wouldn't blame her.
"Our little girl was taught a lot of skills by her grandfather. She always said that as a doctor, she should save lives and heal the wounded. This is what she should do. So, you don't have to make such a big fuss to thank us. However, we still want to thank you for telling us this matter!"
Huo Haocheng called him before and asked them to investigate the Miao family's affairs. Now there are some clues, but he did not expect that they would act so quickly. It seems that they have to take action too.
"Uncle Ruan, I don't deserve your thanks, because these children have caused trouble for our niece. We all feel sorry for it. And we don't know who has the guts to do that." The old man's words revealed his love for this granddaughter who he had just found.
Although he had never met the young lady of the Ruan family, there were many legends about her in the capital, and there were many different opinions. Now, not only did he hear admiration from his daughter, but he also heard praise from the old man. It seemed that this girl who grew up in the countryside was not bad.
"Speaking of this person, you should all know him. He's from the Miao family." Old Master Gu did not hide anything. Both families worked in the government, so it was only a matter of time before they found out, so he just told them directly.
"The Miao family is the medical family of the past. Haven't they been practicing medicine to save people? How could this be?" He Mingyu couldn't believe it when he heard about the Miao family. Actually, his family had some relationship with the Miao family. His father was the follower of Bai Zhu, the eldest disciple of the Miao family, and later followed Bai Zhu to join the army. Later, he heard about Bai Zhu and the Miao family. Before Bai Zhu left, he told him not to return to the Miao family no matter what happened. So after the war, He Dong took the money given by Bai Zhu and settled in the capital.
"You..." Everyone present didn't know why he reacted so strongly.
"Actually, speaking of it, our family has some relationship with the Miao family. My father He Dong used to be a servant of the Miao family, responsible for taking care of Mr. Bai Shu's food and daily life. Later, he followed Mr. Bai Shu to the battlefield. But for some reason, after the war, Mr. Bai Shu gave my father a sum of money and told him not to return to the Miao family or look for him no matter what he heard. So from then on, until my father passed away, he never paid attention to the Miao family again."
He Mingyu told them directly about the relationship between his father and the Miao family. He was not afraid of what they would say since he was standing upright. He also knew the character of the Ruan and Gu families, and they were too disdainful to say anything.
"Oh, I didn't expect that your family has such a fate with Mr. Bai." Old Master Ruan didn't expect that their He family used to be people around Mr. Bai. If that incident had not happened, then their He family would now be considered Mr. Bai's people.
"Have you really never paid any attention to the Miao family over the years?" asked Mr. Gu with some confusion.
"I remember that my father had noticed it before he died, but he seemed to want to find Mr. Bai Shu through the Miao family. However, there was no news about Mr. Bai Shu until he died. On his deathbed, he told me that if one day we knew about Mr. Bai Shu and he needed help, then our He family must do our best to help him in return for his kindness in saving his life."
"Oh, what a cruel fate." After hearing his words, everyone didn't know what to say. They could only sigh that it was all fate.
"Alright, this matter is no longer something you can interfere with. The military and public security have already begun to deploy. If they need your help one day, they will definitely let you know. Now just go back and do your own thing."
After hearing what the old man said, the few people did not stay for long. They all had important things to do at this time. The two families got up, drank the tea in the cups, and went home.
After they left, the two old men looked at each other and said, "Let's make it here. We'll go talk about it tomorrow."
"Okay, let's do this. It will be more convenient to do things then."
After the two of them had discussed it, they called Gu Wenpeng and asked him to inform Ruan Ruan that the Miao family had gone to look for her and asked them to be careful.
