"I, I wrote a letter to my sister, telling her about saving Dad Li, and she wrote back to me and told me something." Wang Tingting had a mysterious look on her face, but there was a spark of excitement in her eyes.

Lu Manyue guessed that what she was going to say was not bad news.

"My sister was in high school when classes were suddenly suspended and she had to go to the countryside. The principal of their No. 2 High School was named Chen. His family used to run a silver shop and donated a lot of money to the revolution during the war.

A small part of our Hongxing City is the former assets of the Chen family.

After liberation, their family donated their fortune, and the Second Lieutenant Colonel was renamed Chen Ying Second Lieutenant Colonel.

Principal Chen was demoted from his post two years ago because of the involvement of his juniors and has been imprisoned in Xiaohe Village.

The village where my sister went to work is right next door.

She said that Principal Chen once told her that his family had a private old antique telephone, which was a dedicated line given by the higher-ups and was placed in the ancestral home.

The Chen family’s ancestral home is located in an alley in the northern district.

If the line there hadn't been stolen, the phone might still be able to make inbound and outbound calls.

It’s a full moon. I think we can make that call to Lin Qingyue’s home.

She has been causing trouble for me these past two days. My salary has been deducted until next year. If this continues, I will probably have to work for the hospital for nothing for the rest of my life and still not be able to satisfy her.

Father Li has been in prison for a few days. I am worried that he can’t hold on. I am also worried that if we delay any longer, he won’t be able to wait until we can rescue him.”

With a dedicated telephone line, I don't have to sneak into the dean's office to make a call. This is indeed good news.

"Okay, after I finish examining your wrist, we'll go look for the Chen family's ancestral home. However, the North District is a bit chaotic, so we can only go there during the day." Lu Manyue said.

"Wasn't it your waist that you came to see last time? How come your hand is injured again? Is it so easy to get injured working in your factory?" Wang Tingting asked with a frown.

"Either I was injured while working in the factory, or I just stretched it." Lu Manyue smiled bitterly helplessly.

Just then the people inside were calling out for the next one.

Lu Manyue walked in slowly.

The old doctor raised his head, pushed up his glasses, glanced at Lu Manyue, said with a smile, "My dear, Xiao Wang, you are here again?"

Lu Manyue was stunned and sat down awkwardly, thinking about how to respond to the doctor.

Last time, in order to save ten dollars, the old doctor assumed that she was Wang Chunfeng's girlfriend and only then was he willing to take her out of the bucket cart.

"Well, the last incident was a misunderstanding. Actually, Doctor Wang and I..."

"I know, I know, Xiao Wang must have made you angry, and you want to cut off ties with him." The old doctor looked as if he understood me.

"Really, there is nothing between him and me." Lu Manyue tried her best to explain.

"You women are like this. My wife got angry and told people outside that she had nothing to do with me and denied everything I said.

OK, OK, OK, I know, I know, stretch out your hand, I'll feel where you're hurt."

No matter how Lu Manyue explained, the old doctor always had an expression that said, "I know, you must be throwing a tantrum."

This matter cannot be explained clearly.

After Lu Manyue discovered this, she stopped wasting her breath.

At the same time, I felt a little regretful. If I had known this earlier, I would not have saved that ten dollars.

"Your wrist is stretched quite badly, you need to apply medicine for several days.

This medicine is not cheap, one dose costs one yuan, and I need to prescribe seven doses. Do you have enough money to pay for the medicine today?" the old doctor asked as he prescribed the medicine.

Seven prescriptions cost seven dollars!

Lu Manyue only had a little over two dollars of her own money.

Totally insufficient.

"Then open one or two pairs first."

“One or two doses won’t show any effect. I have to be responsible for my patients. Seven doses is the minimum course of treatment.

Do you not have enough money? That’s OK. If you don’t have enough money, I can ask Xiao Wang for it. We have discounts within the hospital.” said the old doctor.

Lu Manyue hesitated for a long time between saving money or enduring the pain.

Finally, I thought about the pain in my hand, and it was inconvenient for me to do many things. I needed someone to help me when I lay down and stand up. It is better to treat it as soon as possible.

Anyway, I already owe Dr. Wang ten dollars, so I might as well owe him another seven dollars and give him all at once when I have the money.

There was also the nutrition fee that he had paid in advance to Wei Dingbang, and he had ninety yuan in his hands. However, he could not touch the money. When Wei Dingbang wanted to leave, he had to return it intact.

When Lu Manyue was taking the prescription to mark the price, Yang Xuehua flashed out from the corner.

As soon as Lu Manyue left, she went up to the second floor of the inpatient department.

"Hual, Hua'er, guess what I found?" Yang Xuehua looked at Zhou Ruhua excitedly.

Zhou Ruhua didn't even raise his eyelids and didn't want to pay attention to anyone.

"Hua'er, it turns out that Qin Ning is in cahoots with Doctor Wang. I just heard her admit it herself.

This guy named Wang was so kind and righteous when he said he would pay for it, so I thought he was a good person.

But then he ordered his partner to come and ask for the nutrition fee back, and even embarrassed you in public. He is really not a human being."

Zhou Ruhua was devastated by Wei Dingbang's attitude of keeping people at a distance. After thinking about it for two days, he still couldn't figure out what went wrong.

In order to avoid her, Wei Dingbang disappeared for more than a day.

It was obvious that when they were communicating before, he always spoke very carefully, saying that Zhou Ruhua was the moon in the sky, and it would be a great honor if they could be together for the rest of their lives.

He also said that once the war was won, he would go to her house to propose marriage as soon as possible.

But why, even though she had taken the initiative to come to him, he was so heartless and just married a female worker casually?

Yang Xuehua talked for a long time but saw no response from Zhou Ruhua, so she became a little discouraged and sat on the edge of the bed and asked her in a low voice: "Hua'er, how have you been getting along with Wei Dingbang these past two days?

Did he, did he say anything? "

Zhou Ruhua felt as if her heart was stabbed by a knife. Seeing Yang Xuehua making eyes at her, she became extremely angry.

"Aunt, didn't I tell you to go back to the village to harvest? Why are you here again?"

"It's okay, there are people in our village now, and I am not a big deal.

The brigade sent over a dozen educated youths, saying that our village has many orphans and widows and weak laborers, so these educated youths will stay in our village from now on." Yang Xuehua said.

"More than a dozen? How is that possible? There are only a few spots in a village.

It's not like the first few years after going to the countryside, when many people are trying every possible way to return to the city, so how could there be so many educated youth sent to the same village? "Zhou Ruhua thought this was a bit strange.

“It’s impossible. The people have already arrived in our village and each family has received one.

The one my family was assigned to is a pretty girl. She speaks in a sweet voice, just like singing.

Oh, I saw that girl, and she looks a bit like you, so when the village chief asked me to choose someone, I picked her at first sight."

N'you?

They have Shanghai accents and look a bit similar.

Zhou Ruhua's face suddenly turned very pale, as if he had thought of something terrible.

"Aunt, what's the name of that young woman?"

"My surname is also Zhou, and my name is Zhou Fanghua."

Zhou Ruhua was shocked.

How could it be, how could it be such a coincidence.

"Hua'er, Hua'er, what's wrong with you? Why is your face suddenly so pale, and your forehead is covered with sweat?"
