As soon as he saw Wang Xiaolan, he immediately saluted with his hands clasped together, which made her a little at a loss. Since she traveled to this era, it was the first time she felt such solemn etiquette, let alone an old man over sixty years old.
"Dr. Wang, thank you for curing my illness."
As he spoke, he took out a pendant made of Bodhi seeds from his arms and handed it to Wang Xiaolan.
"This was when our troops passed by a temple. I was seriously injured at the time and could not continue to march and fight with the troops, so they had to leave me there to recuperate. After I recovered, the abbot of the temple gave it to me before I left, saying it would keep me safe."
"I have kept it with me all these years, and today I give it to you as a token of my gratitude."
"Grandpa, I can't take it. You should keep it for yourself!"
"You gave me this life, so you must accept it. Although it's not worth much, it's the most precious thing to me. Now that we're apart, I don't know if we'll meet again. Please keep it as a souvenir!"
Hearing what the old man said, Zhao Lihan also spoke up and said, "Just accept grandpa's gift!"
Wang Xiaolan had no choice but to accept it.
"Grandpa, I won't be polite then."
"That's right." The old man in Ward 408 was very happy to see Wang Xiaolan accept his gift.
"Grandpa, I don't have anything good to give you, but I have some medicine here for your health. Take it home and eat it!"
The next day, Wang Xiaolan packed her clothes and said goodbye to the doctors and nurses.
At this time, Director Bai rushed over and said, "Doctor Wang, you used the burn ointment on Lace yesterday, and it worked very well. Next time you bring medicine, please bring some burn ointment as well."
"Okay." Wang Xiaolan nodded.
Under the guidance of Liu Pei, Liu Feng sent Wang Xiaolan and her husband to the long-distance bus station...
…
Wang Xiaolan and Zhao Lihan were carrying large and small bags and had just reached the village entrance when they were stopped by Captain Xiao's wife.
"Don't go back."
"What's going on?"
"Your house was completely destroyed by Shi Bulian."
"Your two sisters and your two children all live in my house."
"Sister-in-law, what's going on?"
"Let's go to my house first!"
Wang Xiaolan and Zhao Lihan came to Captain Xiao's house.
As soon as she walked into the house, Zhaodi burst into tears when she saw Wang Xiaolan and Zhao Lihan.
"Brother, sister-in-law, why did you come back just now?"
"Our house was smashed to pieces by that 'living devil' and is now uninhabitable."
The captain's wife brought tea to Wang Xiaolan and her husband and said, "They said Shi Hehua was arrested and imprisoned because of you. Is that true?"
"Sister-in-law, this is a long story. Shi Hehua and her boyfriend met Zhao Lihan in a shopping mall in the provincial capital."
"These two people attacked Zhao Lihan from behind when he was off guard. He was almost beaten to death. He was in a coma in the hospital for more than ten days before he was saved."
"Is it that serious? Lotus, how could this girl be so vicious?"
"She committed a crime in the provincial capital and thought she could solve it by using her connections here. But the police didn't buy her tricks at all."
"The captain saw that this trick didn't work, so he came to me again and again, asking me to clear his Lotus' name. Sister-in-law, do you think I can do it?"
"That's right. Isn't it said that her boyfriend's father is a high-ranking official? Why would they look for you?"
"Don't even think of him as an official. He's not even an employee of a state-owned factory. He's just a dung collector walking around the streets. Don't listen to their nonsense."
"Ah! That's what happened! It's so unexpected. We thought their family had gotten lucky by marrying a high-ranking official..."
"To be honest, the villagers were talking about it privately. They said that man looked unreliable and they were wondering why He Hua would fall for him."
"Shi Hehua will be in prison for ten years now. When she comes out, who will dare to take her? This is retribution!"
Zhaodi continued, "That 'living devil' brought a woman with curly hair around our house, saying she was your sister."
"When she came in, she kept covering her nose and said our house stinked like a pigsty, and she said even worse things. The crazy woman next door also came over to make trouble. I couldn't handle them all by myself. Fortunately, Sister Xiao came, otherwise..."
Zhaodi, crying as she spoke.
"Zhaodi, don't cry. With your brother and I here, they won't dare bully you."
…
After having dinner at Captain Xiao's house, Wang Xiaolan's family of five returned to their own home, only to find the room in a mess, clothes scattered all over the floor, and broken porcelain pieces and rubble everywhere.
When Wang Xiaolan saw this scene, she was immediately furious. She picked up a stick and was about to rush out, but was stopped by Zhao Lihan.
"Don't be angry, wife. Don't get yourself hurt by being angry."
Just then, Zhao Sihai coughed a few times outside.
"Lihan, you're back."
He said this while pretending to be surprised.
"How did it get like this? We can't live here anymore, so why don't you stay at my house for the night?"
Zhaodi snorted, "Don't be so hypocritical and make such a fuss. Don't you know that the old witch has come to join in the fun? There's nothing you don't know. Are you worthy of being a father?"
When Shi Bulian brought people to smash the house, Zhao Sihai was at home. Huang Jinhua did not allow him to come out, for fear that he would get into trouble.
"Zhao Di, are you wrongly accusing your father?" Zhao Sihai tried his best to defend himself.
