Chapter 013: Can you do whatever you want just because you have a powerful father-in-law?
Su Wan's tears suddenly fell.
Her voice choked with sobs as she asked, "What happened to him?"
The political commissar said with a serious expression, "An accident occurred during the mission. Comrade Su Wan, don't worry, Chen Yuan will be fine."
Su Wan's hands were shaking violently as she looked at Chen Yuan through the glass, tears streaming down her face, unable to control them at all.
"Who is Chen Yuan's family member?"
The doctor came over, and Su Wan wiped her tears and said, "I am Chen Yuan's wife."
"Let me tell you about the patient's condition. We just finished operating on him. He has two gunshot wounds, one in his back and one in his foot. He also has two broken ribs, a fractured right hand, and a severe head injury. We've already performed a craniotomy to remove all the blood clots from his head. He'll be fine within the next 24 hours, and all he needs to do is rest and recuperate."
"Thank you, doctor!"
"The patient is in good health and will be fine."
The doctor said something comforting and left again.
Su Wan was still standing there when a man in his fifties suddenly walked towards her, followed by the crying Mrs. Zhou.
The man introduced himself, "Comrade Chen Yuan's lover, right? I'm Qin Mingsheng, Zhou Guoqiang's father-in-law."
"Hello, I'm Chen Yuan's wife, Su Wan."
"I'm very sorry for what happened this time. It was Zhou Guoqiang's misjudgment that led to Comrade Chen Yuan being seriously injured. If you need any help, we will definitely cooperate."
Su Wan quickly understood what was going on. "Comrade Qin Mingsheng, are you saying that our Chen Yuan was injured because of Captain Zhou's misjudgment?"
"This isn't our Lao Zhou's fault. It was the enemy's cunning that led Lao Zhou to make the wrong judgment..."
As soon as Mrs. Zhou said this, Qin Mingsheng interrupted his daughter sharply, "Shut up, it's wrong. If it weren't for Comrade Chen Yuan's quick reaction, both teams would have been defeated."
Su Wan was also very unhappy when she saw Mrs. Zhou's face full of impatience.
She said, "Our Chen Yuan is a soldier, and it's his duty to protect his colleagues."
These words were like an invisible slap in the face of Qin Mingsheng and Mrs. Zhou.
Qin Mingsheng didn't say much. He exchanged a few words with the political commissar before pulling Mrs. Zhou away.
The political commissar was also somewhat displeased with Mrs. Zhou. This mission could have been completed successfully, and there was nothing wrong with the plan formulated by Chen Yuan. However, because Zhou Guoqiang wanted to gain credit and made unauthorized changes, not only did he almost let a whole ship of smugglers escape, but he also sacrificed a student. Chen Yuan was seriously injured, and the other students had injuries of varying degrees.
It was Zhou Guoqiang's fault. Does that mean he can do whatever he wants just because he has a powerful father-in-law?
He looked at Su Wan beside him and said, "Comrade Chen Yuan is being taken care of by a nurse. Comrade Su Wan, I will take you to the guesthouse next door for one night. We will come back tomorrow."
"good."
I thought Su Wan would be in a state of panic, but unexpectedly, she was very calm.
Except for the tears she shed when she saw Chen Yuan just now, she wiped away her tears at this moment and no longer looked so fragile.
Su Wan followed the leader to book a room in the military family guesthouse next to the hospital, and he moved in without even needing a letter of introduction.
The leader also took them for a midnight snack before letting her go back to have a good rest.
Mrs. Zhou doesn't live here. I heard that her father works in Ming Province. She doesn't know what position he holds, but she definitely lives with her father.
She didn't think much about it and washed her clothes after taking a shower.
The winter in Ming Province is much colder than that in Guangdong Province. She doesn't have thick clothes, so she's afraid she'll have to buy some new clothes and buy two sets of clothes for Chen Yuan.
She took out the money and counted it. She had been eating very casually recently and had not spent much money on other things. Adding the money she made from selling braised meat and her previous money, the total was 3,293.27 yuan.
She put all the money in her backpack. She had to carry this backpack with her because it contained all her belongings, including a passbook with 30,000 yuan in it!
Lying on the bed, she soon fell asleep with her eyes closed.
She woke up at around eight o'clock the next morning.
After washing up, she put on her backpack. Her clothes were not dry yet, so she left them there to dry, and she went out wearing a thin jacket.
It’s so cold!
Su Wan wrapped herself tightly in clothes. It was drizzling in Ming Province today, and the temperature was only one or two degrees Celsius, making her shiver.
Yesterday's driver, Xiao Wang, came towards her holding a military coat. "Sister-in-law, you didn't bring any thick clothes, did you? I forgot to tell you that the weather in Ming Province is colder than in Guangdong Province. Put on this military coat first."
"Thank you!"
Su Wan put on the military coat. The huge coat made her warm quickly. The coat was very long and reached below her knees, which was just enough to block the wind.
"Sister-in-law, I'll treat everyone to breakfast. You can eat as much as you want. Don't worry about the money. The army will take care of it."
Xiao Wang learned from the political commissar that Captain Chen hadn't gone to collect his salary for six months. Worried that Su Wan might be worried about the money, he added, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. Captain Chen's medical expenses are all covered by the higher-ups."
Su Wan said yes and followed Xiao Wang to have breakfast.
After breakfast, they went to the hospital. Chen Yuan was still in the intensive care unit. Su Wan sat outside for a while, looking inside with a pair of watery eyes.
"Sister-in-law, Captain Chen won't be able to be transferred to a regular ward until 24 hours later, depending on his condition. Why don't you go back to the guesthouse?"
Su Wan turned around and asked Xiao Wang, "If he's transferred to a general ward, should we transfer him to a hospital in Guangdong Province for follow-up treatment or get treatment here?"
"I'm not sure about that, but he'll definitely need to be here for a while. Captain Chen had head surgery. If there's nothing else going on, he'll need to be treated in the hospital first. He'll only be transferred to a hospital in Guangdong Province when he's better."
"Then I'm going to buy two sets of clothes and some daily necessities. Comrade Xiao Wang, do you know where to buy clothes here?"
Xiao Wang shook his head. "Sister-in-law, I'm not familiar with Ming Province either. How about I ask for you first?"
"No, I'll go by myself!"
She had to go to the supermarket to buy some things before Chen Yuan woke up to avoid inconvenience later.
After talking to Xiao Wang, it was raining heavily downstairs.
Someone was walking around outside. When they saw Su Wan, they immediately came up and asked, "Big sister, do you want to buy an umbrella?"
"How much is it?"
"A large umbrella costs 30 yuan, and a small one costs one yuan."
The man opened his coat a little, revealing a black umbrella underneath.
"I want a big one."
Su Wan counted out one dollar and three cents from her pocket and gave it to the man, then asked, "Brother, do you know where to buy clothes nearby?"
The man looked at her military coat and pointed outside. "Go straight on the left for about 500 meters, then turn right and you'll see a market. It's New Year's, so they sell everything."
After thanking him, Su Wan took an umbrella from the man, and the man quickly went to look for his next target.
