When Su Yan arrived at the hospital, Li Juan, Cheng Pao, and Guo Chang were there.
"Didn't Su Changcheng ask for your forgiveness? Why didn't he come tonight?" she asked.
Li Juan scoffed, "It's better if he doesn't come. Seeing him makes me feel uncomfortable all over. I've already decided that if he comes tomorrow without money, I'll have Guo Changcheng run and throw him out. Every time he comes, I'll throw him out!"
Guo Chang and Cheng Pao could only leave at seven o'clock, so Su Yan let them go home early first. After closing the door, she said, "Mom, you can bother him as much as you want, you don't need to say anything."
She had a dream last night. She dreamt that when the original owner was five or six years old, she was washing clothes in the yard. It was the dead of winter. Su Changcheng came back after being upset at the old Su family's house. When he entered the door and saw the original owner, he picked up a broom and started hitting her without saying a word. The original owner's cotton-padded clothes were all patched. When he swept them down, the cotton-padded clothes were torn.
He threw the original owner off the stool and beat her on the ground, cursing her as a jinx and a good-for-nothing, telling her to die and other nasty things. The neighbors who lived on the left and right sides heard the original owner's pitiful cries and rushed over to stop Su Changcheng, but he beat them out. The original owner kept begging for mercy and admitting her mistakes, but it was no use.
When Li Juan returned home from get off work and saw this scene, she was so angry that she picked up a brick and smashed it on Su Changcheng's head. Su Changcheng stopped because he was afraid she would actually do it. That night, the original owner developed a high fever, and Su Changcheng was unwilling to take her to see a doctor. So Li Juan carried her to the clinic. After this incident, the original owner's personality became even more sullen.
This dream was probably intentionally made to be dreamt by the original owner.
Su Yan guessed that the original owner actually hated Su Changcheng to the core, so she wanted to remind her not to forgive this beast who was unworthy of being a father.
She felt sorry for Su Yan, but she also wanted to tell her that no matter what, with her there, she would never let the Su family have an easy time.
"Did you make something new tonight?" Li Juan asked, glancing at the canned fruit. "How about we send some over to that girl's grandma?"
"No need. If I send them too often, people will think we have ulterior motives. You can have them."
Li Juan couldn't stop eating the orange-flavored canned fruit after just one bite. After finishing it all, she said, "How come this isn't greasy? It's surprisingly delicious."
"This is the fruit preserves I made in cooperation with the food factory. I made some samples today and sent them over for them to try. Which flavor do you like?" Su Yan asked curiously.
“I like this one without the floral scent,” Li Juan said. “The floral one is also delicious, but I just like the original flavor. I don’t know why. I’m not good with words, so I don’t know how to explain it to you.”
Su Yan understood what she meant. Just like her grandmother said, everyone has different tastes.
Two flavors of canned fruit are fine; it mainly depends on consumer preference.
She was a little conflicted, unsure whether to bring it up with Yu Dahai tomorrow.
Seeing that she was absent-minded, Li Juan thought she was unhappy and said anxiously, "Yan, I really don't know what to say. Anyway, they are both delicious. I just prefer the original flavor. I didn't say that the floral flavor is not good! Don't be upset."
Su Yan snapped out of her thoughts and said, both amused and exasperated, "Mother, I was just thinking about the factory. What were you thinking about?"
Hearing this, Li Juan breathed a sigh of relief, and after calming down, she patted her, saying, "You brat, all you ever do is make fun of your mother."
She saw her daughter looking so serious and thought she had said something wrong.
Su Yan had to coax and coax her mother for a long time before she finally calmed down.
Li Juan said, "Yan, why don't I go home and rest? I feel like my recovery is slower if I stay in the hospital all day."
"It's not up to me to decide. I'll ask the doctor when I get back."
Su Yan also felt that the hospital environment in this era was actually quite poor, especially in Anping Town. The hospital floor was still cement. It was ventilated every day, but if you closed the window to sleep, all sorts of unpleasant smells would come in from outside. Sleeping here for a week would definitely make you feel moldy.
Li Juan didn't want to wait and was in a hurry to go see a doctor right away.
Su Yan had no choice but to go out and call the doctor over.
Because Zou Jialun personally wrote Li Juan's treatment plan, the hospital paid special attention to her.
The doctor examined Li Juan's arm and said, "Stay here for the rest of the week. A few more days won't make a difference. Come back for a check-up once a week after discharge, and come in every day to change your dressing. If you don't mind the trouble, I'll process your discharge."
The journey from home to the hospital takes about 10 minutes.
Thinking of this, Su Yan tried to change her mother's mind, "Mother, how about..."
"Didn't you rent crutches when you injured your foot last time?" Li Juan said directly, "I'll use your crutches."
Su Yan: "..." Good heavens! You didn't break your foot!
Su Yan's mind was a bit of a mess. After a few seconds of silence, she said, "It's up to you to decide."
Her mother's thought process is terrifyingly unpredictable; she's beyond control! Let's go back and let Grandma manage her!
Li Juan insisted on going back.
If you're changing the medication, just treat it as daily exercise.
The final decision is that I will be discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow morning.
After Li Juan finished expressing her joy, she told her to go back, as walking at night was not safe.
Su Yan came out of the ward carrying a lunchbox, and just as she closed the door, she saw Tao Yue coming out of the doctor's office.
The hospital in Anping Town is very small, and the doctor's office is right next to ward number one, so it's hard for her not to notice it.
"Miss Su?" Tao Yue walked over with a hint of surprise. Seeing the lunchbox in her hand, she asked, "Are you bringing dinner to your mother?"
Su Yan nodded and said, "Yes, I'm going home."
“That’s perfect! I’m going out to buy dinner, let’s go together,” Tao Yue said familiarly.
Her simple and enthusiastic personality is exactly what you'd call a naive and innocent girl.
Su Yan also suddenly thought of this word.
However, the advantage of associating with such people is that it doesn't require much thought and the relationship is relatively easy.
There were food stalls everywhere outside the hospital. As soon as the two came out, Tao Yue said, "I bought food from all these roadside stalls today. My grandma doesn't like them. Are there any state-run restaurants around here? Can you take me there? I'd like to get some to go."
Su Yan: "...Okay."
Anyway, she'll pass by the state-run restaurant on her way home, so there's no need to refuse her.
Tao Yue smiled sweetly at her and said, "Thank you, thank you for your help."
Su Yan immediately avoided her gaze.
She couldn't stand that kind of laughter, and she always felt that Tao Yue was using sweet words and flattery on her.
During the few minutes on the road, Tao Yue chattered incessantly like a bird.
Su Yan wished she could turn around and rush back to the hospital to grab two cotton balls to plug her ears.
The key is that Tao Yue's tone is not fast, so it's not annoying, but it feels a bit noisy.
Upon arriving at the state-run restaurant, Su Yan interrupted her directly, "I recommend the eggplant with meat filling, the sauerkraut stew with pork ribs, and dumplings. That should be enough for two people. I'm leaving now, bye!"
She turned and left.
Tao Yue quickly said, "Wait a minute, I'm a little afraid of the dark and I've forgotten the way back. Can you take me home?"
Su Yan: "..."
