92 Chapter 92 Report (1)
In the evening, it was already dark when Zhou Ying and her husband returned home. They were exhausted after a day on the mountain.
When they returned home, Gu Chengrui still had to head to their old house to see how the two patients were doing. If they were awake, he would be entirely at ease.
Zhou Ying moved some firewood out of her interspace and stacked it in the shed. Then, she simply washed her face and started a fire to cook dinner.
The meal was simple. She stir-fried a plate of cabbage with vinegar, mixed it with a plate of mustard and fungus, and finally took out a roasted chicken from her interspace. She cut it up and put it on a plate. Finally, she cooked a small pot of rice and mung bean congee.
When she was almost done, Gu Chengrui returned. She turned and asked, “Rui, how’s it going over there?”
“They’re all awake but still weak and need to recuperate. I’ve brought them some medicine; you don’t have to worry about the rest. I’ll find some time tomorrow and remove their stitches. ”
“Okay, go wash your hands. I’ll set the table.”
“Alright, I’m so hungry that my chest is sticking to my back.” Gu Chengrui said as he turned around to wash up.
Zhou Ying laughed and shook her head. She used to hear the old people say that youngsters would usually eat until they were poor.
At that time, she had thought it was an exaggeration, but now she understood.
He had eaten a big bowl of ramen at noon and half a pound of beef. She didn’t expect him to be this hungry so soon.
She looked at the food she had prepared as she thought of that. Finally, she took out three big steamed buns, cut them into pieces, and plated them after deep frying.
After dinner, Gu Chengrui cleaned up the kitchen while Zhou Ying entered her interspace and used her mental power to pick out 100 pounds of soybeans to soak in. Then, she braised two sets of pig offal.
After they were done, the two of them were about to lie down and sleep when they suddenly heard Er Zhuang’s bark and a faint knock on the door.
Gu Chengrui was stunned for a moment. He put on his wool coat and walked out.
When he came out, he heard a clear knock on the door, but it was not loud. He paused before walking over and asked, “Who is it?”
“Doctor Gu, it’s us Tiger and Leopard brothers. We’re here to report to you.” Qian Zhuang said in a low voice.
Gu Chengrui recognized his voice, so he opened the door and let them in. He closed the door and led them into the house.
When Zhou Ying saw them come in, she stopped for a moment and said, “Please have a seat.”
She then poured a glass of warm water for each of them.
The two of them looked at Zhou Ying and smiled awkwardly. After taking the cup and sitting down, they drank it in one gulp.
Gu Chengrui hesitated and said, “Ying, can you go make a bowl of noodles for each of them?”
Zhou Ying nodded, turned around, and walked out. She went to the kitchen and made two big bowls of noodles for them with poached eggs.
At the same time, Gu Chengrui refilled their glasses of water and asked, “Brothers, tell me, what did you find?”
“We’ve investigated the strangers you mentioned in the village. They came from other villages to learn how to grow bean sprouts, and one of them was really into monitoring the people in the village.
“They mainly go back and forth between the oil mill and your house.
“However, this evening, we discovered that a servant girl from the Qiao family went to Widow Hua’s house.” Qian Zhuang said.
“A servant girl from the Qiao family? Are you sure she’s a servant girl from the Qiao family?”
“That’s right. There’s basically no one in this area that we don’t know.
“That maidservant is from the manor on the other side of the river. She’s the wet nurse of the Qiao clan’s eldest daughter and has a very good relationship with her. ”
“Yes, yes. Widow Hua’s daughter, Chunhong, is a servant who cooks in their manor.” Gu Erjiang chimed in.
