Tang Li walked in together with a young man in a white coat, and it was the latter who spoke.
The man in the white coat looked to be in his early thirties. He wore silver-rimmed glasses, had a tall and straight figure, handsome features, a calm and refined demeanor, and a faint smile on his face.
Even Tang Li wasn't as refined as him.
Su Yan asked in surprise, "Who is this?"
She remembered that this wasn't her mother's attending physician.
Tang Li introduced, "This is Dr. Zou Jialun, the director of orthopedics at Lanzhou No. 1 Hospital. Jiang Jingxing contacted him to come and take a look at Aunt Li's hand."
Su Yan suddenly realized, and smiled, saying, "My friend happens to know a doctor who is also in the orthopedics department of Lanzhou No. 1 Hospital. He said last night that the doctor will also be coming today, but he doesn't know what time it will be."
“Then Miss Su doesn’t need to wait anymore.” Zou Jialun smiled and said, “I think I am the doctor you mentioned. Besides Commander Jiang, a friend of mine also contacted me suddenly last night. Coincidentally, we both came for the same thing, so I came here early.”
Su Yan: "..." Isn't this a bit too much of a coincidence?
Zou Jialun had to rush back to perform surgery on a patient that afternoon, so the group didn't chat for long before getting to the main topic.
After spending fifteen minutes examining Li Juan's arm and other wounds, Zou Jialun began writing a recovery plan.
His name is very famous in Lanzhou. The doctors at Anping Town Hospital never expected this prominent figure to come, and they all rushed over to learn from him whenever they had free time.
Zou Jialun originally intended to use his name to help Li Juan with her treatment. If Su Yan didn't reveal the origin of his customized treatment plan, the hospital would absolutely not use it.
As he was writing, Li Juan couldn't help but ask, "Dr. Zou, can I recover in just one month?"
Zou Jialun paused in his work, then said helplessly, "Auntie, this isn't a minor injury. It would be best if it could heal for a longer period of time. Given the severity of your injury, a month is impossible."
Li Juan looked disappointed upon hearing this.
"So many days were wasted, how much money must we have lost?" Her heart ached at the thought of the money lost.
He started cursing, "Ayan, what about my lost income? You should make the Su family pay you; those two old guys definitely have money!"
She can earn at least 700 yuan a day by setting up a stall. If we calculate it over two months, that's 42,000 yuan!
She'd believe those two from the Su family didn't have 42,000 yuan, but she wouldn't believe they didn't have at least 10,000 yuan! She'd take whatever she could get!
Seeing that her mother's face was red with anger, Su Yan couldn't help but laugh and say, "Mother, I have my own plans for these things. I'll renovate the shop while you're recuperating, so you can just attend the opening ceremony."
She had already made plans. If Li Juan hadn't fully recovered before she started school, the opening ceremony would proceed as scheduled. She would then hand over the responsibility of making braised food to Li Yongcheng. She would prepare all the ingredients, wrap them up, and just throw them into the pot when braising. Her mother could watch over the process, and she would personally take charge once her mother recovered.
Even so, Li Juan was still unhappy.
Thinking of that old hag, Granny Su, and Zhang Yu, she felt a burning hatred in her teeth.
After writing Li Juan's treatment plan, Zou Jialun handed it directly to her attending physician for execution. After explaining the precautions to the doctor outside, he returned to the ward and said to Li Juan, "Auntie, as long as you follow the plan I customized for you, your recovery will definitely be faster than it is now. I estimate it will take about fifty days."
Li Juan nodded gratefully, "Thank you so much, Dr. Zou, for making this trip for me."
"You're welcome." Zou Jialun spoke frankly. "Commander Jiang and Yuan Qing rarely ask me for favors, especially for the same thing, so I had to come no matter what. In the future, if you need anything, you can come directly to the Orthopedics Department of Lanzhou No. 1 Hospital. I welcome you to come."
Li Juan said "okay" several times, then used her other usable hand to tug at her daughter and instructed, "Yan, take Dr. Zou and Manager Tang to a restaurant for a meal to properly thank them."
Zou Jialun declined, but it didn't work out.
So the four of them left the hospital together, including Su Lei.
After they came out, Tang Li and Zou Jialun took turns refusing, but Su Yan insisted on inviting them, so they didn't say anything more, since they had come over without having eaten breakfast.
It was still a state-run restaurant.
Zou Jialun ordered two jin of dumplings, Tang Li ordered a stir-fried beef, and Su Yan added a sweet and sour pork rib and a spicy boiled fish.
While waiting for the food, Su Yan asked Tang Li, "Uncle Tang, how did Jiang Jingxing know about my family's affairs? Did you tell him?"
Tang Li immediately explained, "Jiang Jingxing asked me to look after your family before he went back. It would also be beneficial to tell him about this. Although he is in Beijing, he can use his connections to help you."
Before Su Yan could speak, Zou Jialun chimed in, "From an outsider's perspective, I think Brother Tang did the right thing. Since Commander Jiang was willing to entrust Brother Tang with this matter, it proves that your family is important to him. He doesn't find it troublesome at all to help you solve your problem. Miss Su, why not rely on a powerful figure? This way, you can relax and enjoy yourself."
Su Yan: "..."
She had to admit that what Zou Jialun said made a lot of sense, and it even made her a little tempted.
In her past life, she had no looks, no figure, and no background. In this life, she has everything, so why should she work so hard?
She scratched her head, as if she had figured it out, but then fell into a dilemma again.
Zou Jialun wanted to continue analyzing for her, but he had to give up when the food was served.
After the meal, Zou Jialun followed Tang Li back to Baicaotang.
Su Yan took Su Lei home first.
Children have weaker immune systems and are more susceptible to infection if they stay in the hospital for too long. Besides, he needs to go to school soon, so it's better for him to rest at home.
"Don't worry about your mother. As long as you study hard and keep up with the pace, your mother will be happy, okay?" she instructed.
Hearing this, Su Lei, who had been feeling down, nodded emphatically and promised, "Sister, I will definitely work hard! After you go to university, I will go to the shop to help Mom with the business after I finish my homework. I will be a good girl and I will never let you worry about me."
Hearing this, Su Yan paused, then squatted down, grasped Su Lei's shoulders and said earnestly, "Xiao Lei, it's good to be obedient, but if you're bullied at school, you can't just hold it in and suffer for your sister and mother. You're still a child, you don't have to be so sensible. In front of your sister and mother, you can do whatever you want. If you're wrong, just correct yourself. We won't cause trouble, but we can't be afraid of trouble either, understand?"
Su Lei's nose tingled, and he couldn't help but throw himself into his sister's arms, choking back tears as he said, "Sister, why do I feel so bad when you say this? Why are my tears flowing uncontrollably?"
Su Yan sighed almost imperceptibly, patting his back tenderly to comfort him, "It's alright, it's all in the past."
Su Lei suffered a lot of cold treatment when he was in the Su family, which made him learn to read people's expressions and act accordingly at a young age. He is also very sensitive and thoughtful. Even now, he is still as insecure as a frightened bird.
She was too busy before; she needs to guide this boy properly from now on.
