Chapter 205 Bullying the weak and fearing the strong
In any case, Gu Wan, a kind-hearted person, could not help but visit her adoptive mother after knowing that she was sick and hospitalized.

But they live in the provincial capital, and it’s impossible for a country girl like me to just run over there casually.

If Dr. Wei was still on duty at the hospital, he could be asked for help, but it just so happened that Wei Junjie also arrived at the Red Flag Brigade.

At this time, Qi Bin's versatile comrades came in handy. He asked his good friend in the provincial capital, who had helped him buy a watch before, to buy a gift and go to visit on his behalf.

Qi Bin’s comrade-in-arms was named Zou Wen. After retiring from the army, he stayed in the provincial capital of Guangdong Province to work. His family must have some connections.

After receiving the call from his friend, he immediately went to the mall to buy two bags of snacks, and then took a bus to the hospital to visit Qin's mother.

Before coming here, Zou Wen had already found out which ward Zhao Xuemei was staying in, so he could just go straight there. But when he arrived at the ward door, he heard people talking inside.

Originally, Zou Wen was going to walk away because he didn’t want to listen to anything inappropriate.

But when he heard the name of Brother Qi's girlfriend mentioned inside, he couldn't help but wait at the door to see what was being said inside.

"I'm telling you, this isn't a biological child, so it's really different. They're so cold and emotionless."

"What's the matter?"

"Didn't I tell you that I gave birth to a child in the countryside before, and somehow the child was taken away by the wrong family. We have been raising other people's children for more than ten years, but our own daughter is suffering in the countryside."

"Yeah, I don't know if that family did it on purpose."

"Let's not talk about this. The child never came to see us once after he went back. It really makes me feel disappointed."

"Oh, doesn't that mean we're raising an ungrateful wolf?"

"Not only that, I'm sick and in the hospital now, and no one has come to see me. When I think about this, I feel so sad. All the love and care I've shown over the years has been in vain."

Everyone sang in harmony, just like in an opera, it was quite lively.

It just so happens that Zou Wen also knows the story of the real and fake daughter of Brother Qi’s girlfriend. Why does the version he heard seem different from this one?
Regardless of whether it is true or not, one thing is certain:

"Auntie, your adopted daughter went to the countryside as an outstanding educated youth. Even if she wants to visit you, she can't just leave casually, right?" Zou Wen said directly.

Comrade Gu Wan is Brother Qi's future sister-in-law. As a brother, Zou Wen certainly cannot watch his sister-in-law's reputation being slandered.

Zhao Xuemei, who was happily complaining to others in the ward, was stunned when she heard such words, and her face immediately turned ugly.

Zou Wen didn't care about that. He had a cold temperament. He walked into the ward and added, "Although Comrade Gu Wan was driven away by you, she has not forgotten your kindness in raising her. She heard that you were sick and called me to visit you."

Then, Zou Wen looked at Zhao Xuemei with a half-smile, "You also said that she is from the countryside. It is not easy to make a phone call there. So you still think that Comrade Gu Wan is an ungrateful person?"

"Then may I ask this female comrade, your biological daughter has also been raised by the Gu family for more than ten years. As soon as she learned that she was a rich girl, she immediately left the Red Flag Brigade and ignored the Gu family who raised her for eighteen years. Is this what you call a good person?"

The series of questions left Zhao Xuemei speechless, mainly because she was not really a fool. From the person's demeanor, she could tell that he was definitely not an ordinary person.

Although she didn't know where Gu Wan, who had already returned to the countryside, got his abilities and how he could still have friends in the provincial capital, Zhao Xuemei knew that the Qin family no longer had to be as cautious as before about offending others.

So she was depressed, but she didn't dare to say bad things to Zou Wen. However, an aunt who had been chatting with her before looked at the situation and felt that something was wrong. "Yes, your biological daughter is by your side now, why didn't she come to see you once even after you were hospitalized for several days?"

"She, she is busy with work." Zhao Xuemei squeezed out these words stiffly.

The aunt noticed something was wrong and said "Oh" without saying anything else.

Zou Wen, however, would not let go of the old woman who had just been belittling Comrade Gu Wan so easily, and deliberately added: "Didn't your own daughter come to see you at night?"

No matter how busy you are at work, it is impossible to work day and night, right?
This time, the old lady became even more reluctant to speak, and her eyes revealed all kinds of doubts about Zhao Xuemei who had spoken so sweetly before.

Zhao Xuemei understood the aunt's expression and was a little unhappy. She immediately turned a cold face to Zou Wen: "Comrade, what are you doing here?"

"Auntie, didn't I say I was here to visit you?" Zou Wen then responded in a very conventional manner: "How is your health now? When did the doctor say you would have the surgery?"

Like all traditional women, Zhao Xuemei cannot bear to hear the word "surgery". Operating a knife on a healthy body is not just curing an illness, it is actually killing people.

"It was not an operation. The doctor prescribed some medicine. I took it and I was discharged from the hospital as soon as the pain went away."

"Oh, that's good. I'll call Gu Wan later and tell her that her aunt is fine." Zou Wen said lightly.

In fact, he doesn't think so. If the disease can be cured simply by taking medicine, why would the doctor write a hospitalization order?
I guess they just take painkillers. Many older people do not accept advanced medical technology and do not like surgery.

But this often delays the treatment of one's illness. However, Zou Wen did not have a good impression of Comrade Gu Wan's adoptive mother, so he did not want to say too much.

But his words made Zhao Xuemei unhappy again.

But she was the one who just said that she would be discharged soon, and she couldn't go back on her word and embarrass herself.

So she could only deliberately find fault: "Huh, how could they possibly receive a call in that shabby country place?"

But I heard the other party laugh and say, "Auntie, don't you know that Comrade Gu Wan is very outstanding and found a job in the county with his own ability?"

Zhao Xuemei really didn’t know this.

In fact, the person who knows the most about Gu Wan's situation is Qin Shiman, but she usually doesn't tell her parents the truth.

Also because of the lack of communication and regional information, Qin Jianfeng and Zhao Xuemei really don’t know Gu Wan’s current situation.

Mainly from Qin Shiman's narration, they were convinced that the Hongqi Brigade was a poor mountain village, and that poor mountains and bad waters would produce unruly people.

Xiaoman had suffered a lot there before, so she took her anger out on Gu Wan and didn't pay attention to her situation after she went to the countryside.

Now, Zhao Xuemei was surprised to learn that Gu Wan, a country girl, could actually find a job in the county town.

Especially since she knew how hard it was to find a regular job, she wanted to ask a question, but when she met Zou Wen's cold gaze, she felt scared.
Zou Wen sneered, "On behalf of Comrade Gu Wan, I have expressed my concern for this lady. So please be more careful with your words in the future and don't speak ill of her outside."

After saying this, Zou Wen turned around and left without caring about the patient's feelings, and Zhao Xuemei could only watch, not daring to say a word.

She is just like that, bullying the weak and fearing the strong!
