Once the cart driver saw everyone had arrived, he guided the ox cart onto the road. Because it was still dark and driving at such an hour was dangerous, a young lad—the brigade leader's nephew—sat beside him, responsible for holding a flashlight to guide the way.
As the cart slowly moved along, Jiang Yun’s anxiety gradually eased, and she began to process the events of the evening. The thought of it made her irritable; after all, the entire savings of her and her brothers were at stake. If anything went wrong now, how would they survive the coming winter? Their parents’ current situation made it impossible for them to offer any further financial assistance. And with her brother injured, how were they supposed to pay the medical bills? She only had ten yuan left—money she had set aside for purchasing supplies at the commune.
As for Feng Qingqing, there had been no progress with the necklace.

Lost in these anxious thoughts, she traveled all the way to the Commune Hospital.
