Wang Qiang lived in an eight-person room. All the patients in ward one were accompanied by their families, but Xiang Ge was the only one in their family who went back and forth between the two wards.
Wang Qiang felt sorry for Xiao Ge'er running around, and was also worried about why Xiao Gao hadn't woken up from the anesthesia yet, so he asked Xiang Ge to stay in the ward next door and take care of Xiang Gao.
Seeing this, Ruan Tang asked the doctor on duty to move Wang Qiang to a double room and also moved Xiang Gao over there.
Wang Qiang was so grateful when he heard the doctor on duty's instructions that he kept saying, "Your hospital is the most humane one I've ever seen. Next time, I will definitely recommend it to all my friends and family."
"It's better not to come to the hospital if you can avoid it."
Wang Qiang heard a familiar voice and looked up, and it was Ruan Tang.
Ruan Tang dragged his bed directly to the double room where Xiang Gao's bed was already.
Wang Qiang looked at Xiang Gao next door with concern: "Vice President Ruan, why hasn't Xiao Gao woken up yet?"
Ruan Tang: "The operation went better than we expected, so the anesthetic hasn't worn off yet. But he should be awake in about ten minutes at most."
Only then did Wang Qiang feel relieved.
Ruan Tang smiled and said to Xiang Ge, "It's getting dark. Haven't you eaten yet? I'll keep watch for you for a while. You can get something to eat for your uncle and your brother."
Xiang Ge's stomach was full at the right time. "I'll go home and cook noodles."
"Don't go home. Go to the state-owned restaurant and order three bowls of noodles. Uncle has the tickets and the money."
Their home was far away, and Wang Qiang was afraid that something might happen to Xiang Ge if he went back alone, so he stopped pretending to be pitiful and took out food coupons and money and stuffed them into Xiang Ge's pockets.
Xiang Ge agreed, took the money and went to the state-owned restaurant.
As soon as Xiang Ge left, Ruan Tang dragged a chair and sat in front of Wang Qiang.
Wang Qiang's left eyelid began to twitch violently.
"Scissors……"
Ji Nanfeng raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Ruan Tang to be so direct and not give Wang Qiang a chance to react at all.
"Stop!" Wang Qiang quickly interrupted Ruan Tang, "I agree to whatever you say."
Woohoo, I was careless. I thought, he is just an ordinary citizen with no money and no background like me. How could the doctor on duty vacate the cadre room for him to stay? It turns out that they were waiting for him here.
He even deliberately stuffed his little Gao into his ward, knowing full well that Xiang Gao and his sister were his life.
This is to control him tightly.
Wang Qiang was unwilling to be led around by Ruan Tang like this. "You guys have to go through Yuyue County to get back to Hongyang County... It's better to make one more friend than one more enemy, Vice President Ruan, don't you agree?"
The implication was that Ruan Tang had offended him, and that she would have no hope of peace when passing through Yuyue Counties on her way back to Hongyang County.
Ruan Tang sneered, "Brother Qiang, you underestimate me. I'm a vice dean, how could I not be able to buy a train ticket?"
Wang Qiang choked hard. It was over. He had no bargaining chips left.
Ji Nanfeng spoke up at the right time to smooth things over: "It's not a big deal, actually. My brothers and I are having trouble making ends meet and want to come to you for help."
Wang Qiang's eyes widened. Even a fool could understand that they wanted to join the Scissors Club just to cause trouble, and if he disobeyed, he would be a traitor.
"Can you give me a few days to think about it..."
Outside, Xiang Ge was knocking on the door. "Uncle, I bought the noodles..."
On the next bed, Xiang Gao mumbled something in his sleep. "Uncle, I made money..."
Ruan Tang continued to play the villain, "Scissors..."
"I promise!"
Wang Qiang was afraid that Ruan Tang would say something she shouldn't, so he gritted his teeth and agreed. His sister and brother-in-law had died unexpectedly, and he was only a teenager. The people in the clan took advantage of their young age, took their jobs, and then gave them a little money and sent them away.
He was forced to take over two half-grown children. He had no job and no land. After spending all the little money he had, he could only work as a gangster to earn a little food to support the three of them.
He accidentally learned that the Scissors Club was not short of money, so he went there without telling Xiang Gao and his sister, ready to make a big profit and send them to school, so that they would not end up like him, unable to do anything and only being small-time gangsters.
Who would have thought that the Scissor Society was only glorious on the surface, but only provided two meals a day, and all the money collected was handed over to the superiors, while the minions below could not even make ten dollars a month.
He worked for a year and became a team leader, but he only saved a little over ten yuan.
Who would have thought that food prices would soar, and this amount of money was not enough to buy 100 kilograms of food.
Just when he was planning to find an opportunity to quit, the brother-in-law of the leader of the Scissor Society came to inspect. Because he was too high-profile, he was assassinated by unknown persons.
He saw the opportunity and resolutely blocked the knife for the boss's brother-in-law. As expected, he received the boss's brother-in-law's gratitude and gave him all the 300 yuan he had just collected!
This injury is worth a lot of money!
On the way to the hospital, he was still thinking that such opportunities must come more often. He was not afraid of being hacked or injured as long as the money was in place.
Who would have thought that he would run into Ruan Tang and the others in the hospital, and he would be threatened like this...
The boss's brother-in-law had promised to promote him once he recovered from his injuries. Now, before he even got the promotion, he's already put several time bombs in there.
Now, he just wanted to delay for a few more days: "It will take a hundred days to heal your broken bones. Come to me in three months and we will make a fortune together."
Ruan Tang said quietly, "It seems that Brother Qiang doesn't have a clear understanding of his injuries. Let me, the surgeon, explain. Your bones aren't injured, but your flesh is. This injury will only last for half a month at most."
After Ruan Tang finished speaking, she opened the door and let Xiang Ge into the ward.
Xiang Ge's face was pale. As soon as he entered the door, he hurried to see Wang Qiang to confirm that he was okay, and then went to see Xiang Gao. The little guy was busy like a top.
Ruan Tang sighed, "Don't worry, Xiaoge'er, your uncle and your brother are fine. I was just checking how long it would take for your brother to wake up. By the time you finish eating the noodles, your brother will be awake soon."
When Xiang Ge heard this, she hurriedly opened the lunch box and ate the noodles with big slurps, as if her brother would wake up if she finished eating quickly.
After Xiang Ge finished the last mouthful of noodles, he stared at Xiang Gao. After a while, Xiang Gao's fingers moved, and at Xiang Ge's call, Xiang Gao opened his eyes.
"elder brother!"
"Little Gao'er!"
Xiang Ge and Wang Qiang shouted in unison, their voices unable to conceal their joy.
Ruan Tang and Ji Nanfeng achieved their goal and left the room, leaving this warm moment to the family.
After returning home, Ji Nanfeng didn't even have time to eat and was about to go out. Ruan Tang found the two remaining steamed buns in the pot and stuffed them into his pockets so that he could eat them on the way.
An hour later, Ji Nanfeng came back exhausted.
Ji Nanfeng asked Ruan Tang for water with a relaxed expression. Ruan Tang poured him a large bowl of water. "Let me kindly remind you that you didn't sew on my button."
Ji Nanfeng raised his eyebrows, "Why, are you afraid that you won't be able to take back the harsh words you said?"
Ruan Tang said angrily, "No way! If you don't sew it well, I'll keep my word and I won't even give you a bed."
Ji Nanfeng suddenly leaned over to Ruan Tang and gave her a sly smile: "You don't have to clear half of the bed for me. I can sleep on top of you."
"You dare!" Ruan Tang's cheeks flushed when she thought of that embarrassing posture.
Ji Nanfeng pinched Ruan Tang’s tender red cheeks, turned around and went upstairs.
