Lu Jianshe naturally had no good feelings towards Xiao Wei, but if someone appeared in his own home and bad things were spread out, it would be like adding insult to injury to the reputation of the Lu family.

He frowned and said, "Okay, I'll get him some food later, and tell that kid not to run around. It makes me upset when I see him!"

Even if it was just a show, he couldn't throw Xiaowei back now. He had to keep him at home for a while and wait for Zhou Xinyue to come out.

At this time in Haicheng Hospital, all the patients who were not seriously ill had gone home for the New Year. The corridor was deserted, with only two nurses on duty chatting.

"It's so annoying. Zhou Xinyue is the only one in the entire psychiatric department. We are basically on duty for her."

There weren't many people in the psychiatric department, and mental illness didn't require systematic treatment, so except for Zhou Xinyue, all the patients were taken away by their families. But even if there was only one patient in the entire department, they couldn't take a day off. On New Year's Eve, when the family was reunited, the two young nurses were of course in a bad mood.

"We can't even watch the Spring Festival Gala. How can we be so unlucky? Doctor Lu is right, but his wife doesn't care?" The shorter nurse became angrier and angrier, rolling her eyes. "He didn't care about Xie Yunshu when he was locked up, and now he doesn't care about Zhou Xinyue when he is locked up. I think it's unlucky to be his wife!"

The tall nurse sighed: "When we first knew that Dr. Lu was getting married, I don't know how many nurses in our hospital were sad. Now I guess they are all glad that they didn't marry him."

"But at least Xie Yunshu is pretty and treats Doctor Lu with all her heart. Why is Doctor Lu dating Zhou Xinyue? A woman with a child, what can she do except cry..."

"Men are blind to begin with. Once a woman cries, she will be completely lost in her thoughts!"

The two were chatting happily when there was a knock on the door at the end of the corridor. Zhou Xinyue's voice sounded calm: "Open the door for me, I want some hot water! It's too cold in there, let me out..."

For three whole days, she was locked up in this dark room! She was fed dry buns with cold water, and was treated exactly the same as Xie Yunshu! However, Xie Yunshu was so sad that he accepted his fate and remained silent, while Zhou Xinyue never stayed quiet for a day, and kept clamoring to see Lu Zhixing.

The nurse was already angry, and she became even more annoyed by being yelled at. She took a teacup of water, opened the door and poured it in: "Why are you yelling? You know it's cold now, why didn't you put clothes on the child in the first place? You left the child outside on a snowy day, let him freeze, it would be best if all the bad thoughts in your heart were frozen away!"

Who in the entire hospital didn't know about Zhou Xinyue's abuse of her own child? Originally, because of Lu Zhixing, no one dared to discuss it openly. Now that Lu Zhixing couldn't be promoted to vice president, and he didn't care about Zhou Xinyue, the matter was exaggerated and spread like wildfire.

But I have to say, this rumor is almost the truth. Some people say Xiaowei is not Zhou Xinyue's biological son, maybe he was abducted from somewhere!

Of course, this was just a casual remark, and no one really dug into the matter. It was just a fact that Zhou Xinyue abused the child, deprived him of food and clothes, and kicked him out in the middle of the night, which naturally aroused public outrage.

The two young nurses were very righteous. Cheng Yuxiang signed a treatment plan that required the "minimum standard", and Zhou Xinyue was locked up in the innermost ward, where she had to eat three meals a day just to ensure she would not starve to death.

Ever since being picked up by Lu Zhixing, Zhou Xinyue had been living a good life, even better than most girls from ordinary families. After all, including the money Lu Zhixing gave her, she could get about 100 yuan a month, and even the young ladies in the city could not spend as much as she did.

There was only a thin, rotten quilt in the dark and damp room. Zhou Xinyue wrapped herself in it with her hair disheveled, but she was still shivering from the cold.

The cup of hot water poured down her face, causing her to scream suddenly. The sound of firecrackers outside mixed with the sound. It seemed that someone was celebrating New Year's Eve...

The building was so lively all day that after the New Year's Eve dinner, people started to come in with small stools to watch TV.

Grandma Zhang sat in the innermost part, and she looked much more energetic. She had just eaten at Xie Yunshu's house, and gave Xie Yunshu and Xie Mingcheng one yuan as New Year's money.

"No, you can't refuse." Grandma Zhang rarely put on a stern face and forced the money on the two people: "I have children here. If you take my money, you will become rich and go to a good university next year!"

Four months after the Chinese New Year, Xie Mingcheng will take the college entrance examination. This is a big deal!

Looking for a good omen, Xie Yunshu took the money with a smile and said, "Grandma, please be my real grandmother, so that you can give me lucky money every year!"

Grandma Zhang's wrinkles were all smiling: "Nonsense, your dear grandma will be angry if she hears it!"

Her grandmother never gave her a single lucky money since she was a child, and never smiled at her. In my memory, she either slapped her on the palm or scolded her for eating for free...

The color TV was still playing the news broadcast, and there were melons and candies on the table. The neighbors on the floor were all waiting to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Xie Yunshu was generous for once: "There is still water in the stove. If anyone is thirsty, just go and pour it yourself!"

While no one was paying attention, Lin Cuiping immediately peeled a piece of fruit candy and stuffed it into her mouth. Before she could taste the sweetness, she heard Xie Yunshu whispering in her ear: "Lin Cuiping, how can you be so shameless? Do you want to snatch the candy that the child is eating?"

Lin Cuiping gnashed her teeth and swallowed quickly: "I'm not married yet. If I'm not married, I'm a child."

Xie Yunshu didn't bother to pay attention to her. He took the candy and gave a few to each of the children, stuffing the rest into his pocket: "No more eating. It's ok for you to come to my house to watch TV empty-handed, but you're eating and taking things, right?"

Lin Cuiping muttered "what a stingy guy" but did not dare to refute further, for fear that Xie Yunshu would turn against her and kick her out and prevent her from watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Aunt Zhao steamed flower cakes upstairs. The big dough was stuffed with red dates. It was fragrant and beautiful, and one cake was about the size of a washbasin. This is a kind of steamed pasta that is only eaten during the Chinese New Year in the north. The children had never seen it before and clamored to eat it.

Aunt Zhao happily cut a lot of pieces and distributed them to everyone: "You just finished your meal, and you all look like starving ghosts!"

Lin Cuiping came over again: "Aunt Zhao, give me a piece!"

Mother Lin pulled him back angrily: "Your brothers and sisters are all greedy and talkative. Sit down and wait to watch TV. You look hungry all day long. If you keep eating, you may not be able to get married in the future!"

Lin Cuiping was not as tall as Xie Yunshu, but she had a round figure, especially a round face that looked quite festive if she didn't speak. Hearing this, Lin Cuiping glanced at Xie Yunshu's slender figure with jealousy, and became even more angry.

Why is it that Xie Yunshu eats so much every day but doesn't gain weight, and her waist is so thick? Although she complained in her heart, it didn't stop her from stuffing her mouth with flower cake.

The voices of adults chatting and children playing came from the dim light of the tube-shaped building. The shabby and damp small building was home to all kinds of people. They were either selfish or kind, narrow-minded or open-minded, but they were all ordinary people with a sense of fireworks.

Contradictions are everywhere, but they cannot defeat the word "humanity". At least at this moment, everyone's faces are filled with genuine and happy smiles.

Lu Zhixing parked his bicycle outside the building. He was too embarrassed to go in, even though he knew Xie Yunshu was inside.

At this time last year, she was by his side, but this year he didn't even dare to see her.
