Just after returning from Hong Kong, Zhang Weifang received the news that Hu Zi was injured. She and Lu Shi put down their luggage and rushed to the hospital.

Hu Zi's left foot was bandaged and he was lying on the hospital bed receiving an IV drip, but his mental state was fine.

As soon as Zhang Weifang came in and saw Hu Zi's heavily bandaged left foot, her tears immediately fell:

"Tell me, how could you be so careless? Can your foot be healed?"

Hu Zi sat up straight in an instant. He endured the pain and tried to comfort her calmly:

"Mom, don't cry, I'm fine. I'll be fine in a few days."

Wang Hui also offered some advice:

"Mom, don't worry. I asked the doctor, and Hu Zi's foot can recover."

Zhang Weifang wiped her tears and sat down on the stool:

"That's good. You should be more careful next time."

Seeing that his parents were tired, Hu Zi persuaded them to go back.

Zhang Weifang went home and had a good sleep before she recovered. Lu Shi woke up earlier than her and had already cooked some pork rib soup and sent it to the hospital.

Later, Zhang Weifang learned that Hu Zi was injured a few days ago when he went to a neighboring province to hunt down drug dealers. He was shot in the foot. However, their mission this time was successfully completed.

Hu Zi was also awarded the third-class merit this time, and his position was promoted to deputy captain. This was his first promotion in fifteen years since joining the team, so Hu Zi was particularly happy.

In November, I received a call from my hometown saying that a poverty alleviation doctor had come to Le'an County and would stay in the county hospital for a week to perform free cataract surgery on patients over the age of 70.

Zhang Qiaona had previously undergone surgery on one of her eyes in the city and the surgery recovered well, but now the vision in the other eye is also blurry, so Zhang Weibao and his team wanted to take this opportunity to take her to the hospital for treatment.

Zhang Weifang nodded, indicating that she had no objection, but she also knew that the eye problem could not be delayed for too long and still needed treatment as soon as possible to restore vision.

This time, Zhang Qiaona's three siblings from her hometown took her to the hospital. The operation was quick and completed in less than half an hour. Three days later, she saw the light again.

As expected, the treatment did not cost a penny. Several people happily thanked the doctor repeatedly. A reporter from the provincial newspaper also interviewed Zhang Qiaona.

When interviewed by reporters, the 75-year-old lady excitedly praised the doctors, the hospital and the government.

Zhang Weifang also saw her mother's happy face in the newspaper. She took the newspaper and ran directly to Zhang Weiren's house:

"Weiren, look, our mom is in the newspaper. Do you think she came up with the content of the interview herself?"

Jin Wen also came over. Her skin was now sallow, and she looked sickly. Only her teeth were still white.

"Sister, let me see, my goodness, our old lady is really amazing."

Zhang Weifang's face was filled with pride:

"That's right. Who would have thought that there would be such a glorious moment in my old age."

In the following days, Zhang Weifang took the newspaper every day and told everyone she knew that her mother had been in the newspaper. Before long, everyone in the community knew about it.

Because of this, everyone got to know Zhang Weifang and Zhang Weiren, and the brother and sister suddenly became celebrities in the courtyard. Now, whenever Zhang Weifang goes out, she will be recognized.

"Hey! Isn't this Zhang Weifang?" A stranger greeted with a smile.

"That's right, her mother was in the newspaper." Another person echoed.

Such scenes happen almost every day, which makes Zhang Weifang feel very embarrassed. She originally just wanted to live a peaceful life, but now she has become so conspicuous that she is even a little overwhelmed.

In the following days, Zhang Weifang stayed at home and did not go out. She wanted to wait until the fever subsided.

Zhang Weifang stayed at home all the time and never even stepped out of the door, so the bad luck fell on Zhang Weiren.

Whenever he goes out now, he will be surrounded by all kinds of people. Some of these people want to establish a relationship with him and get close to him, while others want to ask him to do things for them.

Zhang Weiren felt like he was going crazy, so he decided to escape from this place as soon as possible.

However, he couldn't just disappear, as that would definitely arouse suspicion and speculation from others.

So, he had to come up with a solution: go on a business trip! So, Zhang Weiren made up an excuse, saying that the company had business to deal with, and then hurriedly left home.

With both parties away, the heat of the newspaper incident gradually subsided. Lu Shi looked at Zhang Weifang lying on the sofa watching TV series and couldn't help but teasing:

"How about being a celebrity?"

Zhang Weifang's eyes were still fixed on the TV, and he said without raising his head:

"What a bullshit! I'm almost like a monkey in a zoo."

This winter, Zhang Weifang basically stayed at home and rarely went out. She only went to the matchmaking agency for half a day every day, handed over her work to two employees, and then left.

Recently, Zhang Weifang has become obsessed with Hong Kong detective dramas, watching them from day to night. She even bought a VCD player and discs and watches TV every day while lying on the sofa.

Sometimes I even have a reversed day and night cycle and don’t even have time to eat.

Seeing her in this condition, Lu Shi was very afraid that she would die suddenly, so he stopped going to work and followed Zhang Weifang every day to supervise her eating and resting.

The idea was good, and as a result, Lu Shi was gradually attracted to the TV series. Before, he stayed up late alone, but now it became two people.

One night, when the TV showed a picture of a corpse in a woven bag, Zhang Weifang was so frightened that his heart beat faster and his whole body trembled. After a while, he fainted.

Lu Shi was dumbfounded. Trembling, he called Zhang Weiren and asked him to help send Zhang Weifang to the hospital.

After the doctor examined the patient, he issued a critical illness notice and Zhang Weifang was pushed into the emergency room.

Lu Shi was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn't imagine what he would do if something really happened to Zhang Weifang. Zhang Weiren was not much better off.

The four eyes of the two people were fixed on the door of the emergency room, their eyes full of anxiety and uneasiness.

Not long after, Hu Zi and An An also came to the hospital. They were sweating profusely and asked as soon as they saw them:

"Dad, uncle, what happened to my mom?"

Lu Shi didn't say anything, Zhang Weiren took the time to reply:

"Still inside, wait first."

Time passed minute by minute, and everyone was anxiously waiting for news. Finally, after a long hour, the doctor walked out of the emergency room with a look of relief on his face.

"How is it?" Lu Shi was the first to rush forward and ask.

The doctor nodded. "The rescue was successful, but the patient is still in critical condition. We have transferred her to the intensive care unit for observation and treatment."
