Xia Xiaoli panicked, "Hospitalization? But I just started working, and I already need to be hospitalized..."

"Your legs are important too, aren't they?" Wen Ru reminded Xia Xiaoli seriously.

Liu Xinlan patted Xia Xiaoli on the shoulder.

"Xiaoli, listen to the doctor," Zhang Dali quickly reassured her. "Don't worry about the money."

Wen Ru didn't seem to have any objections.

"Come back tomorrow afternoon to complete the hospital admission procedures," Wen Ru said before leaving.

Xia Xiaoli looked at Zhang Dali and said, "Cousin, I'm not getting treatment anymore."

Five hundred or so is too expensive, and they can't even guarantee whether it will cure you.

"Xiaoli, if you don't treat your leg, all sorts of symptoms will appear later," Liu Xinlan said anxiously, pressing down on Xia Xiaoli's shoulder.

Xia Xiaoli's eyes reddened as she said, "But I just started working, and I don't want to lose this job."

“Xiaoli, you can still find a job after you get a new one. If you miss the treatment window, you'll never have another chance.” Liu Xinlan advised worriedly, “You can’t feel how serious your foot is now. It often swells, hurts so much that you can’t sleep, and you’ll have back pain and migraines. These will continue to be with you.”

Xia Xiaoli frowned, she wanted the best for herself more than anyone else, but she just couldn't do it!

She had no money and didn't want to be a burden on her cousin's family.

“Xiaoli, we’ll listen to the doctor. Your cousin and sister-in-law will definitely agree to your treatment. Even if they don’t have the money, they’ll borrow it to get you cured.” Zhang Dali looked at Xia Xiaoli’s expression and couldn’t help but feel heartbroken.

Such a beautiful girl, if she really lives like this her whole life, she will never find happiness.

"But it will cost a lot of money..."

Xia Xiaoli looked at Zhang Dali and said, "My cousin's wife is about to give birth, I..."

"Your cousin-in-law won't abandon you, don't worry." Zhang Dali's eyes were firm as he gently patted Xia Xiaoli. "If I give up like this, how will I face you in the future!"

Zhang Dali knew it would cost money; he had already considered this when he discussed with Xiang Shulan about treating Xia Xiaoli's illness.

Fortunately, he had saved up a considerable amount of money before getting married, and five hundred was within his means.

"cousin!"

Xia Xiaoli just wanted her cousin to rescue her from her misery, because she knew he wouldn't abandon her.

She never imagined that her cousin and his wife would go to such lengths to help her treat her leg ailment.

Even biological parents can't do this!

"Alright, let's go home. I'm worried about your sister-in-law being home alone." Zhang Dali helped Xia Xiaoli leave the hospital.

Liu Xinlan watched the brother and sister leave the hospital, sighed, and smiled helplessly.

"What are you worried about?" Xu Qianli approached from behind and gently spoke when he heard Liu Xinlan sigh.

Liu Xinlan looked at Xu Qianli, blinked, and said, "I'm so worried... Why hasn't my child come yet!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qianli raised an eyebrow and said, "Does my wife doubt my virility?"

Liu Xinlan suppressed a laugh, her eyes gleaming with amusement: "Hmm, we've been trying for so long, and there's still no sign of pregnancy. Did you do something to it, or is your pregnancy just not good enough?"

She secretly poked his chest and glanced at him; thankfully, there wasn't anyone around.

Around the corner, Chen Xiaohua returned from the cafeteria carrying her eating utensils.

"You two, hurry up and go back, don't bother me at work." Chen Xiaohua was utterly speechless looking at the two of them.

Liu Xinlan took off her white coat and said to Chen Xiaohua, "I'm off tomorrow. Why don't you come to the family compound for lunch together? Tomorrow is An Lude's big day. You, his great benefactor, should also go and attend."

When they went out on a mission, Chen Xiaohua saved An Lude's life.

"I'm not going. I'm officially on vacation tomorrow and going back to my hometown," Chen Xiaohua said to Liu Xinlan, looking down at her.

Liu Xinlan asked curiously, "Why do you want to go back to your hometown?"

"Mind your own business. I'll go back. I'll pack my bags after get off work and take the earliest bus back tomorrow," Chen Xiaohua said to Liu Xinlan, just like always.

"Xiaohua, bed number thirty-two, the medicine hasn't been delivered yet," the nurse called out to Chen Xiaohua.

“Okay, I’ll be right there,” Chen Xiaohua replied.

Liu Xinlan was about to say something, but seeing how busy Chen Xiaohua was, she said, "Then I'll head back now. See you later!"

"Hmm." Chen Xiaohua lowered her head, found her hat, and put it on.

Liu Xinlan and Xu Qianli left the hospital and headed towards the cafeteria.

On their way home to the family compound, Zhang Dali and Xia Xiaoli ran into Li Qingming.

"Deputy Regiment Commander Zhang, Comrade Xiaoli," Li Qingming greeted them simply.

Xia Xiaoli looked up at Li Qingming and noticed Fang Guilan walking towards them from behind him.

When she recalled that slap, she instinctively hid next to Zhang Dali.

Li Qingming wondered why Xia Xiaoli was avoiding him.

When Zhang Dali saw the woman, his expression didn't look good.

"Comrade Li Qingming?" Fang Guilan came out of the guesthouse. She was looking for Li Qingming to apologize, but ran away as soon as she saw her.

I followed them over and happened to see Xia Xiaoli and Zhang Dali.

"Comrade Xia Xiaoli, it was my fault that I hit you that day, I'm sorry!" Fang Guilan calmed down and apologized to Xia Xiaoli, holding a fruit in her hand. "This is an apology gift I bought. It was my fault that I hit you without asking why, it was my fault, I'm really sorry."

Xia Xiaoli was still scared. Standing behind Zhang Dali, she stared at Fang Guilan, nervously swallowed, and tugged at Zhang Dali's clothes.

Fang Guiyan walked over from the side.

“Comrade Xiaoli, my sister did do something wrong that day, and I criticized her severely. So I’m here today to apologize to you and Battalion Commander Li Qingming.” Fang Guiyan tugged at Fang Guilan’s sleeve, signaling her to speak again.

Fang Guilan received the hint and took another step forward.

Xia Xiaoli trembled slightly with nervousness.

“I meant no harm, I’m sincerely apologizing. I was really in a bad mood that day! Comrade Xiaoli, if you’re still angry, I’ll let you hit back.” Fang Guilan said guiltily, “I know I was too spoiled, it was my fault, I’m sorry, Comrade Xia Xiaoli.”

Fang Guilan bowed in apology.

"Comrade Li Qingming, I'm sorry."

He then bowed again.

Seeing that the other party's attitude was so sincere, Xia Xiaoli said, "I accept your apology, but I don't need the gift, thank you."

After saying that, he grabbed Zhang Dali's clothes and tried to leave.

Zhang Dali knew Xia Xiaoli was timid, so he didn't say anything.

Fang Guilan said to the two people who were leaving, "Hey... don't go, I'm sincerely apologizing."

She wanted to take the gift she bought as an apology back to them.

Originally, I planned to apologize to Li Qingming and then go to the family compound to apologize to Xia Xiaoli. I didn't expect to run into her, so I thought I'd apologize to her together.

As Fang Guilan watched them walk away, she turned to look at Li Qingming.

There were three people, and the atmosphere was awkward.

"I accept your apology, but forget about the gift." Li Qingming had the same attitude, and then left.

Fang Guilan watched them all leave, then lowered her head in disappointment.
