When Song Yun reached the door, she heard another male voice from the ward, "Hongxing, didn't I tell you? My strange illness can't be cured, I just have to take care of it. And since I came to Beijing, I feel like my headaches have gotten a little less severe. Maybe the climate and environment here suit me."
Song Yun stopped her hand as she was about to knock on the door. She suddenly wanted to hear what happened next.
Sure enough, Ke Hongxing's mother's voice could be heard from the room again. "Hongxing, I also think your brother has become more energetic since coming to Beijing, even if he hasn't taken his medicine. I think we can stay in Beijing from now on. Can't your army arrange for him to stay with the troops? Can't you apply for a house?"
Ke Hongxing's voice became increasingly helpless. "Mom, I'm only the deputy battalion commander. I'm not eligible to bring my family with me, and I can't apply for a house."
Mother Ke said quickly, "Then rent a house. Didn't the Wang family from Xialiu Village come to Beijing with their eldest son? They said they rented a house in Beijing, in some compound. The rent is three yuan a month, which isn't expensive."
Ke Hongxing said, "The room you're getting for three yuan a month is a small one-room apartment. You definitely won't be able to live there. You'll need to rent at least two rooms. And housing is very tight in Beijing right now. Even if you have money, you can't rent one."
Mother Ke was unhappy. "Why can't we rent one? Why can others rent one but you can't? I think you just don't want us to stay in Beijing. You just don't want to take care of your brother."
"That's not what I meant." Ke Hongxing said.
"What do you mean? Your brother is so sick? As his younger brother, don't you feel any pain at all? He's your biological brother. If he hadn't taken care of me in the countryside, would you have been able to focus on your career in the army? Now that you've made it, you're so reluctant to help your brother. You really have no conscience."
Ke Hongxing was obviously unhappy when he heard his mother say this. "Mom, although I don't have anyone at home to take care of you, I send my allowance home every month. Except for a little for my own expenses, I send it all home without leaving a penny. Doesn't this count as contributing? When I went home this time, the team leader told me that my brother and sister-in-law don't go to school very often, and the household expenses are all covered by my allowance, right? Doesn't this count as contributing?"
It is obvious who is taking advantage of whom, but Ke's mother doesn't think so. She thinks it is normal for her youngest son to send money home, and it is only natural for the whole family to eat and support her youngest son.
Song Yun couldn't stand it anymore and knocked on the door.
Ke Hongxing hurriedly opened the door and Song Yun walked into the ward.
Everyone stared at Song Yun. Who was this pretty young woman in military uniform, with a strong aura, looking for?
Ke Hongxing hurriedly introduced him to his family, "Mom, brother, sister-in-law, this is Captain Song. I asked him to treat my brother."
Everyone in the Ke family was surprised. Such a young leader? A woman? And a doctor?
Song Yun smiled slightly, nodded to Ke's mother and sister-in-law, walked directly to the bedside, put down the medicine box, and asked the man lying on the bed, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Ke Hongqi came back to his senses and pointed to his head and said, "I have a headache."
"What kind of pain is it? Is it a constant pain, or does it come and go? Is it a bloating pain, or a stabbing pain?"
Ke Hongqi had answered these questions many times in the past few days and was familiar with them. "It hurts, a sharp pain, like a needle prick."
Song Yun asked him where it was, and he pointed to a place.
Song Yun nodded and did a series of examinations. She came to the same conclusion as Ji Yuanhui: this guy was not sick at all and was just pretending.
Combined with the gossip she had just heard, she roughly knew why this guy was pretending to be sick.
"How is it?" Ke Hongxing asked.
Song Yun pointed outside the door and walked out, "Come out and talk."
Ke Hongxing followed him out immediately.
Song Yun didn't stop after she walked out of the ward, and only stopped when she reached the end of the corridor.
Ke Hongxing chased after him, "Captain Song, does my brother have some terminal illness?"
Song Yun shook her head, glanced at Ke's mother and sister-in-law who were peeking out of the ward door, and said calmly: "Doctor Ji is right in his diagnosis. Your brother is not sick. He must be faking it."
