Chapter 17 Ning Xin Chases After Him
The hospital corridor was filled with cries of pain, and chairs were occupied by people with bandaged wounds.
Among them is elegance.
Unlike when we met a few days ago, her new clothes were covered in dust, and there was a large tear in the cuff, revealing a bloody wound on her forearm.
His face was as pale as paper, and his usual arrogant demeanor had completely vanished.
Seeing Ning Tang come over with Wang Yan, Wen Ya looked up as if in disbelief.
She just couldn't understand how Ning Tang, a capitalist's daughter, could get into the military compound.
Just because she was pregnant with a bastard child, who might not even be the third son's?
Looking at myself, I pretended to be docile for half a month in order to get my younger brother a job at the hospital, and I still haven't received any definite news.
Yesterday, my mother was still urging me on the phone, and her words were full of dissatisfaction.
"Director Wang, I've almost bled to death, why did it take you so long to get here?"
"Is this the person you found to treat my wounds?" Wenya suppressed her anger, her voice harsh, her dissatisfied gaze lingering on Ning Tang.
Wang Yan didn't catch the sarcasm in her words and chuckled dryly, "This is Ning Tang, a new doctor. She's quite skilled. Your wound is quite serious, and she's steady on her hands, so it's best to have her do it."
Everyone in the hospital knows that Wenya has a bad temper. Every time she comes to the hospital, she either yells at this nurse or that doctor until they cry.
Over time, everyone became resistant to her arrival.
Wang Yan had no other choice but to give the job to Ning Tang.
Anyway, she's a relative of Old Mrs. Xu, and Wenya is a daughter-in-law of the Xu family, so even if she makes things difficult for them, it won't go too far.
However, they're all family, so it seems Wenya doesn't recognize Ning Tang...
Wang Yan, being cautious, casually asked, "Hey, Comrade Wenya, haven't you met Xiao Ning before?"
“I thought you all lived in the compound and should have known each other by now. After all, Xiao Ning is a relative of Old Mrs. Xu, and the compound pays special attention to her.”
Upon hearing this, Wenya's expression stiffened even more.
How could she not recognize Ning Tang? When this woman first entered the Xu family, she deliberately caused trouble for her a few times.
She was putting on airs in front of Ning Tang just now; if she admitted that she knew her, it would only make her seem petty.
Wenya forced herself to say, "There are so many people in the compound, how could I possibly know everyone? Besides, I'm usually busy with the neighborhood committee's affairs and don't go home often."
Standing to the side, Ning Tang could tell that Wen Ya didn't want to be associated with her, and even less did she want to acknowledge that she was Xu's granddaughter-in-law.
As it happened, she didn't want to reveal her identity, so she simply went along with what she said.
"Director Wang, I only moved to the compound a few days ago. I usually stay indoors reading, so it's normal that I don't know Comrade Wenya."
Having said that, he picked up the alcohol swab and said to Wenya in a calm tone:
"Let me clean your wound first. It might hurt a little, but please bear with it."
Wenya didn't reply, but just stared at Ning Tang squatting beside her, a smug look flashing in her eyes.
She was sensible enough to know that she had taken Lu Niannian's place, so she didn't have the face to mention Xu Qiaofeng's relationship with her, which saved Lu Niannian the trouble of making sarcastic remarks.
Surprisingly, Wenya remained quiet throughout the entire process, until her wounds were treated.
Watching from the side, Wang Yan became even more convinced that Ning Tang's identity was extraordinary, and she even started making excuses for the two of them not knowing each other.
And so, by a twist of fate, Ning Tang managed to fool him.
Wang Yan suddenly remembered the neighborhood committee office incident and casually asked, "By the way, I just heard from the nurse that something happened at the neighborhood committee office. What exactly happened? How did so many people get injured?"
The mere mention of this matter caused Wenya's face to darken to a pulp.
His tone was somewhat irritated: "It's all because of those few villagers from the commune. They said we were biased in distributing the grain, and they started smashing things while arguing."
"When I tried to stop them, I was pushed against the corner of the table, and my arm was slashed like this!"
That's not the worst part. Just thinking about the newly released policies for educated youth makes her head feel like it's going to explode.
Unable to resist complaining to Wang Yan, "There are new moves from above, such as the 'three-out-of-one' policy and the policy of allowing sick retirees to return to the city."
"Families with three or more children must send one child back to the city to take care of their parents. The neighborhood committee is good at reviewing this, but the real problem is sick leave."
Upon hearing this, the doctors around who had children sent to the countryside all perked up their ears and urged Wenya to continue.
"As for retirement due to illness, if an educated youth suffers from serious conditions such as tuberculosis or liver disease, or is disabled due to a work injury and loses the ability to work, they can return to the city as long as they have a hospital certificate."
Ning Tang paused in her packing when she heard this.
In her previous life, she had heard many stories of educated youth who, in order to return to the city, took the risk of forging medical retirement documents, only to be found out and have their eligibility revoked, which even affected their families in the city.
However, she wasn't a sent-down youth herself, so these things had nothing to do with her.
...
This wind also blew to the countryside of Beidahuang.
Since her capitalist identity was exposed last time, Ning Xin's life has become increasingly difficult.
No one in the educated youth settlement wanted to talk to her; they always assigned her the hardest and most tiring work.
When Ningxin returned home from work that day, she had just managed to grab a cornbread bun when she heard Renmin shouting in the house.
"The higher authorities have issued a policy that allows educated youth to retire due to illness and return to the city!"
"Those with serious illnesses or disabilities can leave with a hospital certificate!"
The room full of educated youth instantly erupted in chaos.
Ning Xin stood there, stunned. Back to the city? How could she have forgotten about this route!
In her past life, she devoted herself entirely to Zhang Yanfei and never paid attention to the educated youth policy. Now that she is trapped in this wretched place and suffering, isn't this a godsend?
So that night, while everyone was asleep, Ning Xin sneaked out.
There is a river at the entrance of the village. Although it is summer, the night air is cold and the river water is bone-chillingly cold.
Ning Xin gritted her teeth, took off her clothes, took a deep breath, and walked into the water.
She had argued with Ning Tang before, and in order to get her mother to hit Ning Tang, she often made herself catch a cold by drinking cold water. She had a good grasp of how much she should get sick.
Without considering the possibility of developing an excessive fever and becoming an idiot.
Ning Xin stood in the water for a full hour, until her lips turned purple from the cold, before she staggered ashore.
He walked towards the educated youth settlement, trembling all over.
As long as she can return to the city and find Zhang Yanfei, she can live a good life based on her memories from her previous life!
Just thinking about it made Ningxin feel warm all over!
The next day, Ning Xin indeed developed a high fever and didn't even have the strength to get out of bed. When the people at the educated youth settlement saw her like this, they quickly went to call the village chief.
Fearing the person would burn to death, they worked together to take them to the county hospital.
After a day of IV drips, the fever only subsided a little. The doctor said it was pneumonia and I had to be sent to the provincial hospital.
With Ning Xin's eager anticipation, the commune quickly issued the necessary certificate, and as she wished, she successfully left the Great Northern Wilderness and returned to the city.
A few days later, Ning Xin, still ill, dragged her body to the gate of the military compound.
This time she was smarter and didn't go up to disturb them, but squatted to the side and kept watch.
When evening came and Zhang Yanfei was nowhere to be seen, Ning Xin was about to leave when she looked up and almost fainted!
Ning Tang!
What is that little bitch doing here!
They stole her things and made her suffer so much, yet they still have the nerve to show their faces in front of her!
Ning Xin sneered, pushed through the bushes, and rushed forward.
"Ning Tang! What are you doing here!"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Ning Tang's pupils constricted sharply in disbelief.
Forcing a smile, she feigned surprise and said, "Sister, I've been looking for you for so long! Where have you been all this time?"
"How is Mom? You... seem to have changed a lot."
Being tormented by pneumonia is unbearable. In just a few days, Ningxin seemed like a completely different person, with a sickly appearance, as if she wouldn't live much longer.
Why did she forget to tidy herself up properly? If Brother Fei sees this, he definitely won't be interested in her anymore.
Ning Xin quickly straightened her clothes, then suddenly, as if remembering something, she coldly questioned, "Ning Tang, your house was burgled. Did you let them in?!"
