Shi Wan thought she had already explained things to Sikong Jingyu yesterday, so why did he send these instruments over again today? Shi Wan frowned and thought about calling Sikong Jingyu to ask, but then she remembered that she didn't have his phone number.
At this moment, the director of the health center also came out, beaming with joy: "Xiao Wan, I just received a call. A kind-hearted gentleman donated a batch of medical equipment to our health center, including CT scanners, B-mode ultrasound machines, and bedside electrocardiographs. Professional staff will also be arriving soon, so villagers won't have to go outside for checkups anymore. This gentleman is so kind!"
"Hmm..." Shi Wan nodded, not knowing what to say, and she couldn't smile either.
When facing Sikong Jingyu, Shi Wan often didn't know how to approach the situation.
On my way home from get off work in the afternoon, I ran into Lu Yilang's parents. They looked rushed, carrying large and small bags, as if they were in a hurry to leave.
Shi Wan greeted them, "Uncle Lü and Aunt Lü, where are you going?"
Lu Yilang's parents exchanged a glance, shook their heads and smiled bitterly, their eyes filled with unconcealed pain. Lu's mother said, "Yilang has had surgery, let's go see her."
I saw Lü Yilang yesterday and she was perfectly fine. How come she suddenly had surgery?
Shi Wan keenly sensed that Mr. and Mrs. Lü were having some unspeakable troubles, and tentatively asked, "What's wrong? What kind of surgery did you have?"
Lu Yi-chan's mother sighed, her eyes slightly red, and choked up as she said, "We don't understand either. It seems to be called something like a frontal lobe resection."
Shi Wan was stunned!
Staring blankly at Mr. and Mrs. Lü for a moment, this surgery was extremely inhumane, and its postoperative sequelae were terrifying. The most serious consequences could be permanent hemiplegia, aphasia, or hemianopsia, greatly reducing the patient's quality of life. Many countries have banned this surgery, so why did Lü Yi-chan still...?
Suddenly, Shi Wan realized something, and her face turned deathly pale.
"...I hope Xiao Lou gets better soon, so I won't keep Uncle and Aunt Lü from visiting her." Shi Wan said, reaching into her bag and rummaging through it, secretly slipping a wad of money into Aunt Lü's bag.
That was all the cash I had on me that night, but even so... it was too late.
"Thank you for your kind words," Aunt Lü said, and then left with her husband.
Shi Wan withdrew her gaze and returned home with mixed feelings.
During the meal, Shi Wan casually brought up the matter of Lü Yizhu. Shi Jianhua and Qin Qiaolian exchanged a glance, their expressions varying.
"Mom and Dad, why aren't you saying anything?" Shi Wan asked.
Qin Qiaolian coughed lightly and forced a smile, "It's nothing, it's just that Xiao Dan is a pitiful child. She offended someone she shouldn't have and was forcibly locked up in a mental hospital for two months. Once you're in that place, you have to suffer. She was only released for a short time when she exposed some things and was forcibly locked up again. I don't know what will happen to her this time. Most likely, it will be bad. Anyway, I hope she can be safe."
Upon hearing this, Shi Wan gripped her chopsticks tightly; this world was beyond her imagination.
Wearing the same white coat, she was always saving people, while some people were hurting others.
If, if she had been able to stop those people yesterday, would Lü Yi-chan not have had surgery today?
But it can only be a hypothetical situation... Even if she had insisted, given the circumstances at the time, she probably wouldn't have been able to keep them.
Shi Wan was overcome with self-blame.
Or perhaps her abilities were too limited to help many people or prevent many injustices from happening.
Shi Wan's thoughts were written all over her face, which Shi Jianhua and Qin Qiaolian noticed. Qin Qiaolian patted her daughter's hand to comfort her, "Don't think too much. Let's just live our own lives. Human abilities are limited. We can't be perfect in every way, and we can't help everyone. All we can do is do our best and leave the rest to fate."
Shi Wan looked up, her eyes stinging as she smiled, "I know."
She was too insignificant, and there were too many things she was powerless to change.

With the investment funds in place, the construction team arrived quickly. In just a few days, the bumpy road in the village was almost finished. If all goes well, it will be completely repaired in another two days.
Construction has also begun on the economic development zone.
Looking out the window of the health center at night, all you can see are the busy figures of construction workers.
Among those busy figures were some villagers. The project development required a lot of labor, and many villagers who had gone out to work heard the news and returned to find work in villages near their homes. Some carried bricks, some built walls, and some mixed mortar.
Women who cannot do heavy physical labor can help with cooking, picking vegetables, and taking care of meals, and they can also earn a portion of their wages.
In this way, in the early stages of the project, some of the villagers' employment problems were solved, at least they no longer had to leave their hometowns.
Seeing all this, Shi Wan felt very happy, but also a little melancholy.
She thought that once Sikong Jingyu left, the investment would be gone, but to her surprise, he actually added another 50 million. Niwan Village began to improve, but Shi Wan always felt that it was as if she had taken advantage of Sikong Jingyu.
The phone rang suddenly, interrupting Shi Wan's thoughts. She glanced down at it; it was the landline number from the hospital's personnel department.
The personnel department called at this time, probably because something had come up again.
She didn't know if it was good news or not. She was currently at the rural health center, and the personnel department could only call with two possible notifications: one, to tell her to go back.
Second, inform her that she will be staying at the health center from now on.
To be honest, Shi Wan couldn't say whether she wanted to go back to the hospital or stay there.
Back at the hospital, she had more opportunities to use her skills and came into contact with more patients.
Shi Wan hesitated for a few seconds before answering: "Hello!"
The voice of the person on the other end was very gentle; it was a woman. Shi Wan knew most of the people in the hospital, and she could tell who it was just by listening to their voices.
She asked softly, "Is it late? I am Lu Yunxi, the head of the personnel department of the People's Hospital."
Shi Wan politely replied, "It's me, Section Chief Lu."
"The defibrillator issue has been resolved. You are an invaluable asset to the hospital, with strong professional skills and a meticulous and responsible attitude. After discussion among the hospital leaders, it was unanimously decided to transfer you back to the emergency department as soon as possible. You will report for duty tomorrow." Lu Yunxi's voice was gentle and her attitude was very polite.
Shi Wan was stunned.
Shi Wan originally thought that... the hospital would most likely let her stay at the health center, after all, the public opinion surrounding her was really high, and she had already been abandoned once.
The news came very suddenly, and Shi Wan couldn't say whether she was surprised or not. However, the project in Niwan Village had just started and the roads hadn't been repaired yet. Shi Wan couldn't witness the completion of this huge project, and she felt a sense of unease.
After a moment of silence, Shi Wan asked, "Section Chief Lu, could you go back a few days later? I still have some work to finish."
