Xie Zhaochi poured cold water on him and said, "Do you think Dad really protects us? If Dad really protects us, then we wouldn't have been in the countryside for so many years, and Mom wouldn't have endured Grandma's bullying at home for so many years.

Dad, you knew that Second Uncle and Second Aunt's family bullied us, but in the end, didn't you let them go? Little brother, don't forget that Dad and our stepmother had a son, and that son has been with Dad longer than any of us. Plus, our stepmother is from the city. Do you think Dad treats us better or his brother better?"

After hearing what Xie Zhaoshen said, his face turned pale. "Brother, what should we do? Do we have to continue to endure it? It's okay for us to endure it, but I'm afraid Tianqiu will be bullied. My sister is still young."

Xie Zhaochi looked at the sleeping Xie Tianqiu, patted Xie Zhaoshen on the back, and said soothingly: "Don't worry, things will work out when the time comes. If Dad really doesn't deserve to be a father, then we don't need to take him too seriously. As long as we can get along on the surface, it's fine. Also, while we are still here and you are fine, take the time to teach Tianqiu well and let her learn how to act like a spoiled child and how to win favor.

We are sons, and Dad has no shortage of sons, but Dad only has a daughter like Tianqiu, so things are rare and valuable, you know?"

Xie Zhaoshen nodded and assured him, "Brother, I understand. Don't worry. I will definitely train Tianqiu well and help him learn quickly. When I join the army, I will compete with that younger brother for his favor."

Xie Zhaochi nodded, then gave Xie Zhaoshen a few instructions and fell asleep.

Xie Heng only sent a telegram asking the three children to go to the army, but he did not specify the exact time, so Xie Zhaochi and the other three needed to wait a little longer until the eldest brother Xie had time to take them to the army. After all, they were still children and he was worried.

He said he was waiting for Boss Xie to be free, but in fact he was waiting for Xie Zhaofeng. After all, Xie Zhaofeng was about to reach adulthood, and it would not do any harm to hang around in front of Xie Heng more often.

Meanwhile, at the Military Region Hospital, Doctors Zhang, Qian, and Xu Zhiyi worked the night shift for the entire week. Jiang Xiufen hadn't been at the hospital this week. It wasn't clear if she'd figured it out, or if she'd given up. Regardless, Doctor Li was now completely safe.

There are only a few days left this week. After these days, if Jiang Xiufen still hasn't come, then Dr. Li will be temporarily relieved.

Xu Zhiyi was still on night shift that night, and Qin Zheng originally wanted to come and accompany Xu Zhiyi, but because the martial arts competition was about to begin, Qin Zheng, as the chief of staff, could not be absent, so he had been busy in the army these days.

But tonight, just before Xu Zhiyi went to work on the night shift, Qin Zheng still had the same routine, calling her one after another, showing his concern all the time.

They told Xu Zhiyi not to sit in the office all night and to lie down in the lounge. They also told her that if she was too calm during dinner, she should go to the cafeteria to warm up some food, otherwise her stomach would feel uncomfortable.

Xu Zhiyi could only nod in agreement. She wanted to ask Qin Zheng if Jiang Xiufen hadn't shown up at the hospital these past few days because he had done something wrong. But when she thought about the fact that there might be many people around Qin Zheng, and that their conversation might be monitored, she gave up and decided to wait until they met.

Xu Zhiyi spent the first half of the night feeling very comfortable. Just as she was about to finish reading this page and head to the lounge to rest for a while, the night shift nurse in the cardiothoracic surgery department suddenly pushed open the door and ran up to her, breathless. "Director, Director, hurry to the emergency room. There's a patient in there bleeding heavily. The emergency nurse called and said their doctor is confused and doesn't know what to do."

When Xu Zhiyi heard this, he thought to himself: Stunned? Why is he stunned?

The nurse continued, "She also said that she called the general surgery department, the internal medicine department, and so on, but no director was on duty. Then the doctor from the general surgery department told her that you were on duty today, so she called our nurses station and asked me to come and get you as soon as possible."

After Xu Zhiyi gave the nurse a few instructions, he rushed to the emergency room without stopping.

On the way to the emergency room, Xu Zhiyi's mind was full of absurdity. It was really terrible that there was not a single doctor who could treat patients in such a large hospital.

Xu Zhiyi pondered the patient's injuries. Injured? Soldier? Gunshot wound? Knife wound? Or something else? Surgery, heart? Chest?

When Xu Zhiyi arrived at the emergency room, he saw Yufeng from the general surgery department and another doctor treating the patient. Xu Zhiyi saw the doctor's name tag, which read "Internal Medicine." The emergency doctor who admitted the patient was standing nearby, his forehead beaded with sweat and his hands shaking.

When Yufeng saw Xu Zhiyi, she immediately made way for him and whispered to him, "Director Xu."

Xu Zhiyi approached the patient, a pregnant woman in labor. Because she hadn't been examined, she didn't know if the fetus was in the correct position. She only knew she was weak and bleeding.

Xu Zhiyi looked at the doctor on duty in the emergency room tonight, but the doctor was still immersed in his own world and didn't notice anyone else.

Xu Zhiyi doesn't know the doctor on duty tonight, but he must know whether he can undergo surgery and whether he is still conscious.

Xu Zhiyi walked forward and asked the doctor on duty in the emergency room, "What's the patient's condition?"

But after Xu Zhiyi finished speaking, the emergency doctor had not yet looked up to answer. Xu Zhiyi saw that the doctor was still shivering and shaking all over.

Xu Zhiyi patted the doctor's shoulder. The doctor looked at Xu Zhiyi in panic and almost cried out.

Xu Zhiyi looked at the doctor with cold eyes, "Are you feeling better now? Are you still scared? Can you speak now? Can you tell me about this patient's condition?"

The emergency doctor exhaled, and although he was still trembling, he could still speak.

"Director Xu, this patient is a woman who is eight months pregnant. After dinner tonight, she tripped and fell to the ground. Before coming to the hospital, she tried to give birth at home, but the baby didn't come out. They said the baby was in an abnormal position and had a difficult labor. So, she came to the hospital."

After arriving at the hospital, I examined the patient and told the patient's mother-in-law about the patient's condition. I also said that the patient's condition was urgent and needed immediate surgery, but the patient's mother-in-law refused to do so and even called me a quack.

Fortunately, before I told the patient's mother-in-law that she needed surgery, I asked the nurse to call your department. Otherwise, I would have done what I just did and probably really delayed the patient's surgery."
