"So I promised them that I would testify in court in my personal capacity and not on behalf of the hospital. They also promised me that they would not pursue the hospital's responsibility. In this way, I can say that I have done right by my former employer."
Huang Qiao, feeling sorry for the woman's plight, immediately said, "Okay, we'll help you with this. I'll also be there to listen in."
Ma Jianguo felt that although his wife was uneducated, she had high emotional intelligence, and there was no pressure in life with her.
Whenever he was exhausted and returned from the hospital, seeing the happy smiles on his face would wipe away all his fatigue; that feeling was truly wonderful.
"Alright, let's eat first. I'm going to eat more today," Huang Qiao said excitedly. "I suddenly have a good appetite."
"Okay, let's finish our food." Ma Jianguo stood up, returned to the table, and got his bowl to eat.

Lu Zhixia thought she wouldn't sleep well that night, after all, she was in an unfamiliar place and there was someone else next to her, but she quickly fell asleep listening to the little girl's snoring.
When I woke up in the morning, it was already slightly bright. There was no one beside me; I had slept like a log.
I rubbed my eyes and sat up, wondering where this girl had gone.
She needed to use the restroom, so she grabbed her keys and went out. She saw Zhuang Ran and the cleaning lady chatting at the end of the corridor. The two were having a great time in the corner, gesturing as they talked.
She could vaguely hear them talking about work. She needed to use the restroom first, and when she came back, she saw them still chatting, so she walked over without hesitation.
The cleaning lady said, "There are actually quite a lot of people at that labor market, and the employers are also divided into different classes. In my opinion, the easiest jobs to take care of are the elderly, because the elderly can't talk and can do whatever they want. But such families are generally not well-off."
"How so?" Zhuang Ran asked.
The cleaning lady scoffed, "You know, they've already spent money hiring caregivers for the elderly, so their food must be pretty bad. If they ate anything better, what kind of family would that be!"
Zhuang Ran nodded in agreement, "That makes sense. Actually, what I want right now is to make money. I need a job that includes food and lodging."
The cleaning lady said seriously again, "If you ask me, if someone takes care of you during your postpartum period and you eat well, whether the employer gives you food or not, you're the one who makes those meals. If you sneak a bite or two, they won't know. In short, you have to be careful and not let others lead you by the nose, especially young girls like you who have just come from the countryside and don't know anything."
She said those things because she felt a connection with the little girl. When she looked up and saw that there was another listener beside her, she picked up the broom and continued sweeping.
When Lu Zhixia saw that the person had stopped talking and was actually looking excited, she worried that the child might be led astray. So she took her hand and led her back into the house, and only spoke after closing the door.
"You can chat with anyone, so how come you have a direction in your work?"
“I saw the older woman working when I finished using the restroom, so I asked her where I could find a job. She thought I was going to take her job. After I explained, she understood what was going on. So she told me where the labor market was and told me to look for a nanny job, saying that it was very easy to find work there.”
"Then you've met a good person. Most people wouldn't say that."
"She said that the nanny provides food and accommodation, but the employer needs to be careful in choosing, as some families are particularly easy to work with."
"It's true that you don't have much money right now, but you have room and board provided and a stable job. Have you ever thought about starting your own small business?"
Suddenly looking up, he thought, "I'm just a roughneck, what kind of business can I do?"
Lu Zhixia then shared his business experience with her, talking for more than half an hour.
Until the knocking sounded.
Gu Lingxiao called them to have breakfast, so they had to stop chatting.
After leaving the guesthouse to find a place to have breakfast, I saw it as soon as I turned a corner; there were breakfast vendors in the alley.
The place wasn't very big, with 5 tables, and just then one group of people got up to pay their bill.
"I'm going to save a spot." After saying that, Zhuang Ran rushed over and plopped down on the bench.
Lu Zhixia saw that they were selling tofu pudding and fried dough sticks, and thought that would be fine, so she went over.
The proprietress stacked the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and seeing that three people had sat down, she warmly asked,
"What would you three like to eat?"
"Boss lady, this is our first time here, can you give us a recommendation?" Lu Zhixia said.
The proprietress introduced the product even more enthusiastically than before.
"My family's fried dough sticks are a specialty snack, made with a secret recipe. Our tofu pudding is also quite good. Why don't you all try some?"
