Upon hearing this, the other villagers of the Chen Family Village looked a bit embarrassed, but didn’t react much.

After all, they didn’t have money, and with Qiu Mingyan’s situation, the county’s medical conditions weren’t good. If Qiu Mingyan could be taken to a big city for treatment, naturally, it would be best to take him back, so they nodded.

However, Mai Manxiang felt a tremor in her heart and raised her face in shock.

Vice Director Guo naturally noticed her astonishment and raised an eyebrow, "What? Do you have a different opinion?"

Tears welled up in Mai Manxiang’s eyes, but she couldn’t bring herself to say, "He hasn’t married me yet..."

Especially thinking of Brother Mingyan’s merciless words, "You can take my life back, we owe each other nothing."

In the end, she held back, squeezing out a sentence through gritted teeth, "Can I go with you? I want to see him recover."

Instantly, Vice Director Guo chuckled softly, "If I’m not mistaken, you’re wearing a wedding dress; you’re the woman who forced marriage yesterday, leading to Qiu Mingyan’s suicide attempt, aren’t you? Given your circumstances, how could I possibly take you? Do you think he isn’t dead enough, and you’re prepared to provoke him once more until he’s really gone?"

"No, I didn’t, I just..."

However, before Mai Manxiang could finish, Vice Director Guo coldly interrupted, "Enough, it’s impossible! Xiao Qiu is our hospital’s best doctor, and also a patient on the verge of suicide due to his fragile mental state, so for his sake, only his blood relatives can go to Rong City to accompany him, and we won’t take anyone else."

The cold words were decisive!

No one else had objections.

But for Mai Manxiang, it felt like an iron rake was clawing at her heart repeatedly, leaving it blood-stained and unbearably painful, tears rolling down...

Vice Director Guo didn’t have much else to say, after speaking, he cast a cold glance at Mai Manxiang, feeling no sympathy for those cheap tears.

Under the reverent and admirational gazes from the county hospital, he turned and left, aloof.

The hospital transfer procedures were completed quickly, and after giving Qiu Mingyan an IV drip, disinfection, and so on, which took a day.

The next morning, Qiu Mingyan was placed in an ambulance heading directly to Rong City, departing with Vice Director Guo’s team.

Qiu Mingjun and Qiu Jing departed a bit later.

Because they understood that this might be the Qiu Family’s last time staying on this land.

They had to tidy up the mess at home, and most importantly, they had to pack and take old photos, old souvenirs, and such.

They also needed to collectively bow at Qiu Mingyan’s grandfather’s grave...

The Qiu Family would no longer make concessions for any other family in the village; their son was nearly driven to death, such hatred was in front of them, they couldn’t just let it go.

Gratitude, marriage agreements, debts, entanglements.

Let it all dissipate... just like their son wished, parting peacefully without owing each other anything would be the best outcome.

The Qiu Family had to go home to gather their things, Vice Director Guo and his team understood the Qiu Family’s desire not to return, so after instructing the county hospital, county hospital staff were arranged to help them collect things, and eventually arranged a car to Rong City.

The remaining people left first.

The sound of sirens blared as the ambulance departed the small county in Sichuan.

Mai Manxiang desperately ran along with the car, just to catch one more glimpse of Qiu Mingyan.

Unfortunately, the Qiu Mingyan who had narrowly escaped death looked deathly pale and extremely thin, his eyelids possibly weighed down by medication, deep in sleep, or maybe he was just too tired of this land and didn’t want to see more.

In any case, Mai Manxiang saw nothing.

That day, the weather was cold, and sporadic snowflakes fell in the small county in Sichuan.

Qiu Mingyan’s side profile appeared striking amidst the ice and snow, yet it no longer cast her a glance.

Snow fluttered quietly, and as she gazed intently, everything was frozen in that moment.
