When Xia Wan finished giving her statement and left the police station, it was already seven in the morning! A night in a guesthouse was clearly not as good a rest as it would have been at the hospital!
Xia Wan was still half asleep, feeling like a ghost wandering the streets. Fortunately, she had earned a considerable number of points, making her efforts from midnight worthwhile!
She felt more alert when she looked at her points in the system. Those human traffickers had contributed over 700 points, and she was now close to 1,000 points!
They really did a lot of child trafficking; these bastards deserved to be arrested!
It's unclear whether the police will be able to stake out the person who came to "pick up the goods," but she certainly won't be able to do so!
After washing my face at the guesthouse, I realized that although I didn't have enough time to sleep, it was still early before the time I had agreed to meet with Cai Guifang.
With no other option, she had to check out of the room first. She planned to deliver breakfast to Lao Xia and her brother-in-law!
The morning light filtered through the dappled leaves, casting its glow on the quiet street.
Xia Wan walked into the state-run restaurant, glanced at the blackboard first, and then said to the waiter, "Hello, comrade, I would like a steamed bun and a bowl of millet porridge."
The waiter quickly served her the buns and handed them over. The buns were cooked, and the porridge was also prepared in advance.
Xia Wan ate quickly, finishing the steamed buns and porridge she had ordered in no time.
After finishing his own meal, he asked the waiter to pack six more hot meat buns. It was a pity that she hadn't brought a lunchbox, otherwise she could have bought some millet porridge to take back to her father and brother.
When Xia Wan arrived at the ward, the doctor was making rounds, and Dr. Qiu was taking Xia Jianguo's pulse.
Xia Wan put down the steamed buns and stood to the side waiting.
After taking her pulse, Dr. Qiu noticed that her complexion had improved considerably: "It's better than I expected, which means your physical condition is quite good and you're recovering quickly. You can be discharged after one more acupuncture session today!"
The doctor's words thrilled Xia Jianguo: "Thank you so much, doctor. You've gone to so much trouble. I'll be discharged first thing tomorrow morning."
He can finally be discharged from the hospital. Although he can't go out even at home, it's still better than spending money and wasting time in the hospital.
"Dr. Qiu, what should I be careful about after my father is discharged from the hospital?" Xia Wan asked Dr. Qiu, "Does my father need his leg massaged?"
That's how it's always portrayed on TV; regular massage helps with blood circulation and is better for recovery.
Anyway, she doesn't understand these things, but that doesn't stop her from learning. Massage shouldn't be too difficult!
Dr. Qiu shook his head and smiled, "You don't understand acupoints. This isn't something you can learn in a short time. Pressing the wrong point would be counterproductive. Besides, your father has recovered to this extent, so pressing them now won't have much of an impact."
"Okay, thank you, Dr. Qiu." Xia Wan nodded. In any case, she would just follow the doctor's orders.
"You need to make sure you get enough nutrition in your diet. Also, take this prescription I gave you for another half month after you get home, and then you can stop taking the medication." Dr. Qiu instructed, "After you stop taking the medication, you need to rest well and come back to see me for a check-up once a month."
In fact, in this era, most rural people suffer from minor illnesses that eventually lead to major illnesses, and they lack the money to treat them. Very few people like Xia Wan and others carefully follow medical advice for treatment.
After seeing Dr. Qiu off, Xia Jianguo was noticeably in a better mood than he had been a few days earlier.
"Alright, Lao Xia, stop being so happy and hurry up and eat. I bought some steamed buns. I didn't bring a lunchbox today, so I can't make porridge. You guys eat first, and I'll go make you some milk powder." Xia Wan said, taking her water cup and heading out.
Xia Tao stopped her: "Xiao Wan, you eat first, I'll go get some water."
"Brother, you eat. I ate before bringing this food to you."
Xia Wan took her water cup to the water room, unaware that Wu Zhaodi had already gone to the doctor's office; she also wanted to process Wu Baoping's discharge from the hospital.
"Doctor, my nephew is also being discharged tomorrow!" Wu Zhaodi suddenly burst into the doctor's office and abruptly announced that he was being discharged, leaving the doctor completely bewildered.
The young doctor looked up and said with a helpless expression, "Discharge is no problem. I told you from the beginning that your family didn't need to be hospitalized, but you wouldn't listen and insisted on being admitted. Are you sure you want to be discharged tomorrow? Actually, today is fine too."
The young doctor seemed to want to avoid the situation at all costs, wishing Wu Zhaodi would agree to discharge her immediately to avoid wasting hospital resources.
When they arrived, the wound on their head wasn't deep, and they could have left after applying medicine. But this person insisted that his nephew's injury was serious and he was dizzy, listing all sorts of problems, and he just wanted to admit him to the hospital.
They had no choice but to admit the patient and conduct a series of tests, but the test results showed nothing wrong.
Wu Zhaodi chuckled dryly, "Hehe, no need, no need for a doctor... we can be discharged tomorrow."
Her nephew absolutely had to be discharged from the hospital with Xia Jianguo, otherwise, if they went home a day earlier than Xia Jianguo, their mother would scold them to death.
It was all because Xia Jianguo was hospitalized that his mother, seeing her grandson injured, also wanted to come to the county hospital, saying that her grandson couldn't be inferior to Xia Jianguo, a cripple.
However, they wanted their grandson to enjoy a comfortable life without interfering with their own work points, so they could only have their married daughter bring Wu Baoping to the hospital.
Wu Zhaodi could see all of this clearly, but she didn't feel wronged. After all, she was the eldest sister, so wasn't it her duty to take care of the whole family?
However, her nephew came to the hospital without informing his in-laws, and she doesn't know what kind of beating and scolding he will face when he goes back.
The doctor didn't want to get entangled with her either; they'd already gotten through so many days, one more wouldn't make a difference.
He nodded and agreed: "Okay, then remember to come to me tomorrow morning to get the discharge papers."
Wu Zhaodi was delighted: "Okay, doctor, I'll listen to you. Should we get some medicine before we leave?"
The doctor took a deep breath and looked at her with a complicated expression, as if he were looking at a lunatic: "No need."
If we don't leave now, the scars will have healed!
Wu Zhaodi didn't care about the doctor's attitude; she had achieved her goal anyway, and returned to her ward with a smile.
As soon as I entered the ward, I heard my nephew complaining: "Auntie, where did you go? Hurry up and buy breakfast, I'm starving."
"Okay, Auntie will go buy you breakfast. Baoping and the others, wait a bit." Wu Zhaodi said with a smile, her face full of doting affection: "Auntie also asked the doctor earlier, and if we can get out of the hospital tomorrow, we can be discharged."
She looked at Xia Jianguo with a boastful expression, but when she saw the father and son taking big bites of meat buns and eating them with relish, she was immediately filled with anger.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then remembered Xia Wan's threat and swallowed the words he was about to utter.
Although that brat wasn't around, she didn't dare to provoke her anymore. She could only pout and storm off with her lunchbox.
She doesn't have much money left and can't afford meat buns, so she'd better hurry to the cafeteria for food.
