Chapter 238 Switch

"Xiao Han, is it possible to visit patients in Kunming in the afternoon?"

Wang Guixiang frowned and looked at Gu Yihan, who was drinking water, and asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan paused in her drinking, put down her glass, glanced at her, and shook her head, saying, "I don't know either."

She had never visited a patient before and didn't know if there were any taboos in that regard.

"Um... visiting patients in the provincial capital is always in the morning," Wang Guixiang said, scratching her head sheepishly.

She didn't know the specific reason.

She only asked Gu Yihan a question because she heard from the elders in her family that customs vary from place to place.

Minjie, provoked by Gu Yihan and Wang Guixiang, blurted out that they should go shopping together to visit Hu Shan.

I spent the whole morning feeling the pinch of the money I was about to spend, and I was really angry.

It turns out that neither of them knew that visiting patients at night was allowed.

I almost burst out laughing.

Visiting a patient at night means that the patient is dying and not going to make it.

If the two of them went to see Hu Shan at this time after get off work, Hu Shan's parents would probably beat Gu Yihan and Wang Guixiang out with sticks.

Imagining the scene of the two of them being kicked out of the tenement for visiting Hu Shan in the afternoon, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Gu Yihan and Wang Guixiang were chatting when they heard Min Jie's sudden laughter and both looked in her direction.

Wang Guixiang hadn't been at the textile factory for long and didn't know Sister Min very well.

Gu Yihan stared at Sister Min, who was grinning like a complete idiot, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

As Minjie smiled, she looked up and met the gazes of Gu Yihan and Wang Guixiang.

She gradually suppressed her smile, trying not to give Gu Yihan and Wang Guixiang any reason to overthink things.

She smiled and said, "Yesterday was my birthday. I couldn't help but laugh when I thought about the surprise my family had prepared for me."

Gu Yihan was skeptical, feeling that Min-jie's smile was malicious and that she was definitely up to no good.

She and Wang Guixiang exchanged a glance and gave a perfunctory "hmm".

It's not even five o'clock yet.

While tidying up, Sister Min gave instructions to Gu Yihan and Wang Guixiang.

Her voice was filled with excitement as she said, "I'm about to get off work. I'm going home to get money to buy things at the supply and marketing cooperative."

Gu Yihan wasn't in a hurry. She slowly packed her things, having already decided not to visit Hu Shan today.

Minjie walked to the door with her handbag, turned to Gu Yihan and Wang Guixiang, and repeatedly reminded them, "Let's meet at Hu Shan's house!"

Wang Guixiang's gaze remained fixed on Gu Yihan, and she replied perfunctorily, "I know."

"Xiao Han, shall we go to the supply and marketing cooperative?"

Gu Yihan locked the office door, looked up at Wang Guixiang, and said, "Sister Guixiang, I'm not going today."

"Not going?" Wang Guixiang stopped and turned to look at Gu Yihan, saying, "But, Officer Min told us to meet at Hu Shan's house."

As Gu Yihan walked towards the bicycle, she said, "Sister Min won't be going either."

Given Min-jie's stingy nature, her eagerness to instruct them means she must be checking on people at this time; there's something wrong with them.

Wang Guixiang noticed that Gu Yihan was walking faster and faster, and didn't have time to think about anything else.

He jogged over to her and said, "Xiao Han, when are you going? Let's go together!"

"We'll see!" Gu Yihan didn't give a specific time; she needed to go home and ask Lu Huailin.

Are there any customs or traditions for visiting patients in Kunming?

Wang Guixiang stared at Gu Yihan's retreating figure, so angry that her nose almost twisted; Gu Yihan was just too unapproachable.

Why is it so hard to get closer to her?

Family compound entrance

"Xiao Han".

Gu Yihan was riding her bicycle when Lin Yifei suddenly blocked her way.

She gripped the handbrake, looked at the other person with surprise, and smiled, saying, "Commander Lin, is there something you need?"

Commander Lin stared directly at Gu Yihan, his eyes filled with deep love. He opened his mouth, wanting to ask her if she still remembered him.

He then gave a bitter smile. How could she possibly still remember him?

I've never had any interaction with her in my life.

If it weren't for Qiao Shuhui, Gu Yihan would be his wife, and they would have two smart and lovely children.

Gu Yihan raised her eyes and looked at Lin Yifei suspiciously. Was there something wrong with this man's eyes? Why was he looking at her like that?

My body subconsciously pushed the bicycle a little further away.

Looking at Lin Yifei, he said with a puzzled expression, "Commander Lin, if you have nothing else, I'll be going now."

After seeing Gu Yihan's actions, Lin Yifei lowered his head and felt a sharp pain in his heart.

In an instant, he composed himself, looked up at Gu Yihan with doting eyes, and asked with a smile, "Xiaohan, have you had any strange dreams?"

Gu Yihan frowned and glanced at Lin Yifei. She was certain that this man was sick.

Whether I dream or not has nothing to do with him.

"Commander Lin, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, she didn't look at him again, and rode her bicycle towards the courtyard.

"Commander Lin, what are you whispering to Commander Lu's wife?"

A curious military wife noticed Lin Yifei talking to Gu Yihan and went up to ask what was going on.

Lin Yifei glanced at the military wife expressionlessly, then turned and left.

The military wife watched Lin Yifei's retreating figure and muttered, "What's so smug about him? He's still no match for Commander Lu."

After Gu Yihan arrived home

After parking his bicycle, he took out a piece of pork belly from his bag and handed it to Grandma Gu, who was cooking in the kitchen, saying with a smile, "Grandma, here you go."

"Why are you buying meat again?" Grandma Gu took the pork belly, weighed it in her hand, and realized it must weigh about a pound.

Gu Yihan changed the subject, saying, "Grandma, I'm going back to my room now."

Grandma Gu smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Go ahead."

Half an hour later

Grandma Gu is clearing the table.

Gu Yihan stayed with Hao Hao.

When Lu Huailin returned, he picked up Hao Hao, who was playing with building blocks with his wife, and glanced at the stewed potatoes and meat and scrambled eggs with tomatoes on the table.

"Honey, did you buy meat?"

Gu Yihan walked to the dining table and said while serving rice, "I saw it, so I bought some."

Lu Huailin assumed she bought the meat on the black market. "Wife, that place isn't safe. Don't go there next time."

"We'll go buy it when we're resting."

Gu Yihan was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll let you buy it next time."

Gu Yihan was also worried. She still had a lot of meat in her space, and it was too slow to consume it like this.

"Huai Lin, when is the best time to visit a patient in Kuncheng?" Gu Yihan asked while eating.

Lu Huailin glanced at his wife with amusement and said, "We usually go in the morning."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan nodded and hummed in agreement.

Lu Huailin raised an eyebrow at his wife: "Who's sick?"

Gu Yihan: "It's Hu Shan. I heard from my colleagues that she had a miscarriage."

Upon hearing this, Lu Huailin pursed his lips and remained silent.

The miscarriage might actually be a good thing for Hu Shan.

When He Shengli investigated Secretary Jiang, he also investigated his cousin Hu Shan.

That was also an unfortunate woman.

Her husband, Cheng Bo, has a childhood sweetheart from his hometown who is also pregnant, around the same stage as Hu Shan.

They're just waiting for the two of them to have children so they can switch babies.

Cheng Bo plans to have his childhood sweetheart's child inherit Hu Shan's family's property.
