At that moment, Su Yu didn't care what everyone was thinking. She was thinking about how to make her life better.
Her body was already very weak. The original owner had always managed to hold on with a strong will, but she couldn't keep up. Su Yu felt it was better not to suffer like this. She didn't want to actually develop a lot of illnesses from overwork. Besides, she didn't have the spirit to push herself to the limit and work despite her weakened state.
The key issue is that this job offers no future; it's a typical "workhorse" in the factory—you do a lot, but you get little. And you're destined to be a textile worker your whole life. Su Yu felt she had to do something to break this cycle.
So, while everyone was working hard in the morning, Su Yu gloriously collapsed at her post.
The entire workshop immediately became noisy.
"Su fainted—"
"I could tell from her complexion that she wasn't well; she was clearly in poor health."
"Oh dear, get her to the hospital right away, or something bad will happen."
"..."
Soon, Director Xu from the workshop arranged a truck to take Su Yu directly to the provincial hospital. Then, he had someone notify Su Yu's family.
Su Dazhi also worked in the textile factory. He and Su Yu took over their parents' jobs, and his older sister, to take care of him, let him take the better warehouse position. Their work had been very quiet and peaceful over the years.
After finishing his inventory of the warehouse, he sat down in a chair, thinking about how to persuade his older sister.
He knew this family had to be divided. After all, Liu Mei was right; he would have his own family and children in the future. He couldn't live with his siblings forever. Their relationship would drift further apart, and he had to plan for his children's future as soon as possible.
Just as he made up his mind, Sun Xiaogang, who worked with him, rushed over to find him. "Dazhi, hurry to the hospital, your sister has fainted."
Su Dazhi shuddered in fright. He stood up and asked, "Who fainted?"
"Who else? Your sister! Su Yu! Zhang, the driver from the transportation department, was just taken to the hospital, and people from the union have also gone. You should go and check on them too."
Su Dazhi felt his head spin. His older sister had fainted? How could she have fainted? Over the years, she had never been sick before. Last time she had a fever, she didn't even go to the hospital, and she recovered just fine.
Su Dazhi was pushed out of the warehouse by Sun Xiaogang and taken to the hospital without any explanation.
Su Yu is currently lying in the hospital.
Even if she hadn't fainted, a hospital checkup would have revealed a whole host of problems with her health.
Malnutrition, physical weakness, insufficient qi and blood, overwork...
After the examination, the hospital couldn't treat her properly. They could only have the union representative from the textile factory take the doctor's prescription to the logistics department to get five ounces of soybeans and three ounces of brown sugar, plus an extra egg so that Su Yu could eat a boiled egg after she woke up.
The union representative was named Yan Fang, a young woman. After hearing the doctor's instructions, she couldn't help but swallow hard. Then she hurriedly went to cook the sweet boiled eggs.
When the boiled eggs in sugar water were served, Su Yu woke up.
Although she was faking fainting, she had genuinely fallen asleep. The original owner's body was too weak; even a slight jolt while lying down would make her sleepy. So she simply took a nap. When she woke up, she could smell the aroma of the food.
It's time for lunch.
Yan Fang saw that she had woken up and said, "Comrade Su Yu, you're awake. Are you feeling better?"
Su Yu asked groggily, "What's wrong with me?"
"You just fainted!" Yan Fang exclaimed excitedly. Allowing a worker to faint on the job was a dereliction of duty on the part of the labor union.
Moreover, in her eyes, those who faint at work are all glorious activists.
"Get up and eat something. Doctor, you're severely malnourished. I've prescribed you nutritional supplements. Eat something quickly." Yan Fang placed the enamel bowl on the table. Then she helped Su Yu up.
Su Yu quickly sat up. To be honest, she felt a little guilty about lying to such an honest girl.
So he said, "You haven't eaten either, have you? Why don't we share it?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Fang quickly shook her head, "That won't do, this is your nutritional supplement. Comrade Su Yu, your health is too poor. You need to get better so you can work better. Our union eats workers' nutritional supplements, we can't make that!"
"Doctor, her body is depleted and needs proper care." However, she had also heard about Su Yu's family situation and knew that Su Yu's family was struggling financially.
So when she heard Su Yu offer to share her food, she was touched even though she didn't eat it. What a kind person.
"This person is really honest now," Su Yu said, looking at Yan Fang with gratitude before picking up her enamel bowl and starting to eat.
Brown sugar and eggs were a rare delicacy these days. However, Su Yu couldn't really taste anything special; she missed the exquisite and diverse cuisine of the past.
