Zhang Dezheng was just about to say something when he heard footsteps approaching. Turning his head, he saw it was Brigade Leader Gao Jiefang and his wife.
The Brigade Leader glanced at the tightly shut gate, "Secretary, what are you doing?"
Upon seeing Gao Jiefang had arrived, Zhang Dezheng cursed internally, "I've been running around outside all day and only just had a moment to breathe upon returning. I came to check on Luo Qiao."
Qiao Lianlian said, "Secretary, you weren't in the village this afternoon, and the director of women's affairs came back saying the hospital suggested Luo Qiao should be hospitalized for treatment. But this child, being kind-hearted and believing she had no internal injuries, insisted on coming back home to recover and save money."
