Chapter 187 The Best Result

His wife just pulled him towards the door and walked home, without saying a word.

The landlord seemed to realize something and lowered his voice to ask, "Was it you who took her clothes and shoes?"

His wife remained silent, but he guessed that was the reason, so he pressed on, "You two got into a fight, and you accidentally hurt someone?"

"Oh, what did I tell you?"

“You can’t do this, you can’t do this. That woman is so skinny, and you can’t fit into her clothes.”

Why bother trying to get this cheap deal?

The two arrived home while talking. The landlady opened the gate a crack, and as soon as they went in, the landlady exclaimed in surprise.

His wife was terrified, yelling, "Don't shout!"

“I…I really didn’t hit her. That fierce woman rushed over and turned my hair around, pulling out a clump of my hair. I finally managed to turn around and kick her once, just once, and it hit her leg. She…she just fell to the ground and wouldn’t get up.”

As soon as she finished speaking, her husband rushed to Xu Shanshan's side, checked her nose, and found she was still breathing. He immediately helped her sit up. Then he called to his wife, "Don't just stand there like a wooden stick. Hurry up and give me a hand to get her to the hospital."

"Damn it, you really don't want to celebrate the New Year, do you?!"

His wife then jogged over.

The two men carried Xu Shanshan on their backs and then found a tricycle to take her to the hospital.

The hospital immediately admitted the person, but medical expenses needed to be paid.

The landlord and his wife exchanged a glance and immediately said, "We...we are her neighbors."

"Yes, her neighbor."

"Where are her family members? Quickly notify them to come here."

"I don't know, she rents a place with us, and she lives alone."

"Then you guys go and help cushion this, otherwise this person can't just lie here like this!"

The couple exchanged a glance, and the landlady pulled the landlord aside, saying, "Let's go outside and discuss this."

Once outside, the landlady immediately asked, "How much does this cost?"

How would I know?

"Can we take it from him?" his wife asked.

“Otherwise, we’ll get her back when she’s better,” the landlord said.

"How could she possibly be willing to pay it back? She definitely thinks I hit her, and she's being kind by not blaming us."

"So we're just going to ignore it?"

"Never mind, the person is already at the hospital, are the doctors going to just let them die?"

After thinking about it for a while, the landlord decided to just leave it at that.

The couple left, and the nurse waited for a while but no one came, so she had to go find the doctor.

A young female doctor came over to ask what was wrong. After listening to the nurse's explanation, she was stunned when she first saw Xu Shanshan.

Because she is Lin Wenwen's cousin, and knows Xu Shanshan.

"Aunt Xu?"

"Dr. Yao, do you know her?"

"Yes, my cousin's mother-in-law."

"Could you please notify her family?"

"She has no one to pay her bills now!"

Yao Yu gave a quick check and said, "Take the medicine if needed, give me the bill, and I'll go pay it."

Yao Yu paid the fees, and Xu Shanshan was put on an IV drip.

Yao Yu also bought some fruit for her and placed it by her bedside.

Because Yao Yu didn't have the Wen family's phone number, she didn't contact Lin Wenwen immediately. She only planned to wait until Xu Shanshan woke up, ask Xu Shanshan for the Wen family's number, and then notify the Wen family.

Xu Shanshan didn't wake up until 10 p.m.

After she woke up, the hospital nurses immediately notified Yao Yu.

Yao Yu went to the ward and said, "Aunt Xu, you're awake."

The little girl had dimples when she smiled, which made her seem friendly, but Xu Shanshan couldn't remember who she was for a moment.

Yao Yu guessed what was going on from her expression and said with a smile, "Aunt Xu, don't you remember me?"

"Lin Wenwen is my cousin, and I am Yao Yu, her aunt's daughter."

Lin Wenwen, her former eldest daughter-in-law.

Xu Shanshan's expression became somewhat unnatural. She nodded to Yao Yu as a greeting.

Yao Yu was unaware that Xu Shanshan and Wen Changyu had already divorced, so after asking Xu Shanshan if she was feeling unwell, she asked, "Aunt Xu, what's your home phone number?"

"Two strangers brought you to the hospital today and then left."

"Let me make a call home for you!"

Upon hearing that Yao Yu was going to call the Wen family, Xu Shanshan instinctively refused, saying, "No need."

Yao Yu: "??"

Perhaps realizing her reaction was too strong, Xu Shanshan changed her mind and said, "I... I don't need to notify them, I can manage on my own."

She was clearly agitated, so Yao Yu didn't say anything more, afraid of upsetting her.

But the next day, he still asked for Lin Wenwen's phone number and told her about it.

Lin Wenwen naturally had to tell Wen Jinshu about this.

After listening, Wen Jinshu pinched the bridge of her nose, looking slightly tired.

Yesterday on the way, Zhizhi told me about meeting Xu Shanshan on the train and about Xu Shanshan's wallet being stolen.

He had just gone to the train station this morning to inquire about this matter.

Knowing that the chances of finding the wallet were slim, he took out his own money and asked a colleague at the station to hand it over, saying that the money had been found.

Unexpectedly, the person went to the hospital again.

He pondered whether or not he should tell his father about it.

I'm afraid his dad will act on emotion again if I tell him.

I won't say...

Everyone has arrived at the hospital.

He could handle the small matter of losing money himself, but he was hospitalized, so he couldn't make decisions on his own.

Wen Jinshu still spoke.

After hearing this, Wen Changyu didn't seem particularly excited, but his tightly clenched hands revealed his inner struggle.

Which hospital?

"Have you been to see it?" Wen Changyu asked Wen Jinshu.

Wen Jinshu shook her head. "I haven't gone yet. I was just thinking of telling you first."

"At the hospital where my cousin Wenwen works."

"How did you get into the hospital?" Wen Changyu asked again.

Wen Jinshu shook her head again, "I haven't had time to check yet."

Wen Changyu wanted to go to the hospital to see for himself, but thinking of Xu Shanshan's dislike for him, he held back. "Go and see what's going on."

"Um!"

Wen Jinshu went to the hospital first and asked the doctor about Xu Shanshan's condition.

After confirming that she was not seriously injured and that her shock was caused by excessive emotional distress, Wen Jinshu paid a considerable amount of her medical expenses before leaving the hospital.

At that time, Xiao Lin had already learned about Xu Shanshan's hospital visit the day before, based on the address he had given her.

"It's already been reported to the police station; it can only be considered a mutual fight!"

"When the police arrived, she cried and confessed everything, but she still said she didn't steal the clothes, that she just looked at them."

Kobayashi frowned. "Because there was no actual property loss..."

"What about the medical expenses this time?" Wen Jinshu asked.

"They said they were willing to compensate!"

Wen Jinshu nodded and said no more.

This is already the best possible outcome for Xu Shanshan at this point.

That afternoon, the police officers led the landlord and his wife to the hospital, found Xu Shanshan, and handed over the money she had lost. "The officers at the train station asked us to give this to you. They said the thief's accomplice was caught and handed over the stolen money, but they threw away the wallet, so there's nothing they can do..."

When Xu Shanshan saw the money the police officers brought, tears began to stream down her face. She shook her head, choking back sobs and unable to speak.

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. The wallet doesn't matter anymore. Her money is back. It's good that the money is back. It's good.
