As Mu's mother left in a hurry, Mu Chen and Lin Chuchu exchanged a smile.

Mother Mu was in a hurry to go back, actually because she wanted to find the person who had spread lies in front of her.

Whether the other party did it unintentionally or not, they were definitely hoping to see the couple make a scene.

Mother Mu went to find someone to fight, and despite her always smiling face to customers in the shop, she had never lost a fight.

Mother Mu stood with her hands on her hips at the other party's gate, scolding the people inside so much that they dared not show their faces.

The atmosphere instantly exploded when Mu's mother revealed that the other woman's husband was having an affair with the widow next door.

A loud commotion erupted inside, accompanied by the cries of a woman.

A crowd of onlookers gathered around, pointing and commenting on the courtyard.

"Serves her right, she's always gossiping and she's the one who started all the fights between couples in the neighborhood."

"Didn't they say her husband treated her very well? He even brought her water to wash her feet. Tsk tsk, looks like it was all a lie."

"Exactly, she's as fat as a pig. If I were a man, I wouldn't even give her a second glance."

As the saying goes, every pitiful person has something hateful about them. The more she flaunts herself in the past, the more people hate her now.

Others also like to gossip about this and that, but they don't spread rumors. Only she acts on every rumor, ruining several couples' relationships.

Hearing the sounds of beating and cursing coming from inside, Mu's mother immediately felt refreshed.

Serves her right. If she dares to cause trouble in front of her again, she'll beat her to death.

The day after his surgery, Mu Chen couldn't stand it anymore because another patient had come to the room. This patient wasn't clean, and the smell of his stinky feet was unbearable.

Most importantly, it affects his intimacy with Chu Chu.

Honestly, being in the hospital felt like an eternity; every minute and every second felt like torture.

Lin Chuchu hung a curtain between the two hospital beds, and Mu's father got her a single folding bed. At night, Lin Chuchu slept next to Mu Chen's hospital bed.

Lin Chuchu watched Mu Chen finish his meal, then picked up her lunchbox and started eating herself.

Just then, a commotion broke out outside.

Lin Chuchu was startled and quickly put the lunchbox aside, staring at the door.

Just then, Xiao Lu walked in from outside, the door closed instantly, and Captain Qin stood guard at the door.

Lin Chuchu asked, "Why is it so noisy outside?"

Xiao Lu said with a grim expression, "There's a medical dispute. Someone brought in a child, saying they have a fever and want the doctor to prescribe some medicine and give them an IV drip."

"The doctor said he needed to take the child's pulse, but the other party refused. The doctor sensed something was wrong and, in the struggle, discovered that the child was already dead."

If an IV drip is administered to a deceased child, and it actually goes through, the other family members will definitely try to hold the hospital and doctors responsible.

Lin Chuchu gasped, "There are all kinds of people out there. They're even trying to extort money from doctors."

If the doctor hadn't been cautious, he might have really been held responsible.

The argument was still going on outside, with the patient's family insisting on their demands. In the end, the hospital called the police, who came and took the people away.

The middle-aged man in the next bed noticed the three men's attire and knew they were no ordinary people; he wanted to get close to them.

"Hey bro, what do you do for a living? You look like you work in an office. You've got quite the air about you, you're definitely different from us."

Mu Chen gave him a speechless look. "It's not a good job!"

He only said one sentence and then stopped talking. The people waiting for him to continue ignored him and started chattering about other things.

Such things as the sow giving birth to piglets, or the neighbor going out to make a lot of money and coming back in a car...

The constant chatter was a bit noisy, and Lin Chuchu couldn't eat anymore.

Mu Chen said, "I'll ask the doctor tomorrow if I can be discharged. I'll just be recuperating at home anyway."

Lin Chuchu rolled her eyes at him, "The doctor already said you'd have to stay a few more days, so don't even think about it."

In the afternoon, Xiao Lu learned that the parents had been criticized and fined by the police, and the child's body had been buried. After this incident, the doctors became more cautious.

I dare not prescribe medicine casually; I must confirm that the person is alive by taking their pulse first.

"Chuchu, you should go back to the base tomorrow. My injury just needs to heal. Once I'm discharged, my parents will be able to take good care of me."

Lin Chuchu stayed with him for three days, and he was content.

They both have their own responsibilities and missions, and if his health permits, he might go back to work.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Chuchu said, "I'll stay with you for two more days. Don't worry, my work here won't be delayed."

Unless it's an emergency mission, she's confident that her superiors will grant her a few days off.

At night, the snoring from the bed next to her was deafening, making it hard for her to fall asleep.

Mu Chenfa frowned, and he didn't sleep very soundly.

The man in the next bed is a farmer who sprained his ankle and has no one to take care of him. He'll need to stay in the hospital for at least a few days.

Lin Chuchu sighed softly. She should ask the doctor tomorrow. If she could go home, she should go home to recover.

Her mind was filled with all sorts of random thoughts, but she became more and more energetic. It was almost 10 p.m., so she had no choice but to close her eyes and try to fall asleep.

Just as she was drifting off to sleep, she suddenly heard a soft rustling sound, like something rubbing against the wall.

Lin Chuchu suddenly woke up and looked at Mu Chen beside her.

Mu Chen had already opened his eyes and put his hand to his mouth to make a shushing gesture.

Lin Chuchu had a bad feeling and took out the pistol from her spatial storage. The pistol had six bullets in it.

Only after getting the pistol did Lin Chuchu feel a little more at ease.

Lin Chuchu squinted slightly, observing the direction of the window.
