When Zhou Yuanyuan opened her eyes again, it was two days later.
"Yuanyuan."
"younger sister."
"Xiaojiu."
Several voices rang out at the same time.
Zhou Yuanyuan looked at the familiar white room and the IV drip hanging on her hand, and immediately understood: she was in the hospital again.
Alas! This little body is truly weak. Zhou Yuanyuan closed her eyes, letting the "qi" in her body circulate rapidly through her meridians. Haha! The "qi" that seemed to be as thick as three strands of hair became as thin as straw. Such a great benefit for fainting once? Zhou Yuanyuan was secretly amazed.
Outside the ward door, Zhao Yunxiang was talking to Zhao Guohui. When the conversation became heated, Zhao Yunxiang's face was filled with anger.
"Sister, it's okay, Xiaojiu will be fine." Zhao Guohui's mellow voice seemed to have magic, soothing Zhao Yunxiang.
Yesterday, Zhao Qingshan went to Qingshan City for something. Before leaving, he took Zhou Yuanyuan's pulse and said that there was no problem. Only then did Zhao Guohui feel at ease to let Zhou Yuanyuan receive treatment in this hospital. Otherwise, Zhao Guohui would have taken his niece to the county town for treatment.
"Mom." Zhou Yuanyuan murmured. Seeing Zhao Yunxiang's face full of sorrow, Zhou Yuanyuan felt her eyes sore.
Perhaps it was the bond between mother and daughter, or perhaps it was because Zhao Yunxiang was always keeping an eye on Zhou Yuanyuan in the ward. Zhou Yuanyuan's voice was not loud, but Zhao Yunxiang heard it.
"Yuanyuan, you scared me to death!" Zhao Yunxiang rushed to the bedside, sat down next to Zhou Yuanyuan, and began to cry.
During these two days, Zhao Yunxiang shed a lot of tears and her eyes were swollen like peaches.
Strangely enough, Zhou Yuanyuan's fever subsided soon after she was taken to the hospital, but she remained unconscious. Over the past two days, doctors have performed numerous tests on her, including X-rays and blood tests, but have found nothing amiss.
The doctor suspected Zhou Yuanyuan had fallen asleep from exhaustion. However, seeing the crowd of people anxiously gathered in the ward, the doctor didn't dare to tell Zhao Yunxiang and the others about this conclusion. Instead, he gave Zhou Yuanyuan a glucose supplement. Anyway, in this day and age, glucose is considered a good thing. It can cure illnesses and strengthen the body if you're not sick!
"Sister, look here, look here." Zhou Jiasheng had been sitting in the corner of the ward fiddling with something. Seeing Zhou Yuanyuan wake up, he rushed over, raised a paper crane in his hand and shook it, saying loudly, "Sister, this is a thousand paper cranes I folded for you. I'm giving it to you so you won't get sick again."
After Zhou Yuanyuan was hospitalized, Zhou Jiasheng was anxious. He remembered a time when he and his sister had played together and she had mentioned folding paper cranes to pray for patients. Over the past two days, Zhou Jiasheng had folded hundreds of pieces of paper before finally creating what he considered to be the most beautiful paper crane.
"Thank you, brother." Zhou Yuanyuan stretched out a hand and took the "paper crane" from Zhou Jiasheng's hand. Well, to be honest, this "paper crane" was folded very ugly, and it was not at all like the thousands of paper cranes Zhou Yuanyuan had seen in her previous life. However, Zhou Yuanyuan saw Zhou Jiasheng's sincere heart from it.
"Xiaojiu, you scared your uncle this time! Don't be naughty again in the future." Zhao Guohui went to the hospital to see his niece whenever he had time these days. Seeing that Zhao Yunxiang was getting more and more haggard day by day, Zhao Guohui was very nervous.
After all, if Zhou Yuanyuan hadn't woken up, the marriage between his sister and brother-in-law might have come to an end.
It was the first time Zhao Guohui had ever seen Zhao Yunxiang lose her temper. Upon seeing Zhou Yuanyuan in a coma, Zhao Yunxiang ignored Zhou Zhixin's words and simply kicked him out of the ward. Furthermore, Zhao Yunxiang tearfully declared she wanted a "divorce" from Zhou Zhixin.
Zhao Guohui knew that Zhao Yunxiang and Zhou Zhixin had been married for so many years without even a single quarrel. This time, it seemed she was furious.
Zhou Zhixin was so stupid that he didn't want to leave the hospital. It was only after Zhao Guohui had persuaded him that he was dragged back to his home and temporarily settled down.
"Uncle, Xiaojiu has always been very well behaved." Zhou Yuanyuan called out sweetly, and did not forget to clear her name.
"Little devil." Zhao Guohui scolded with a smile, turned back to Zhao Yunxiang and said, "Sister, I have to go to the county for a meeting this afternoon. If you need anything, just call Lao Wang's office directly."
If today's meeting wasn't so important, Zhao Guohui would have wanted to take a leave. These days, there's been a lot going on at home, not just at his own, but also at his wife Xu Liqin's family. It's been one thing after another, and Zhao Guohui feels a little exhausted.
"Guohui, go take care of your business!" Zhao Yunxiang responded, wanting to get up and see him off. If Zhao Guohui hadn't been around to comfort her these past two days, Zhao Yunxiang might have gotten stuck in a rut.
Seeing Zhou Yuanyuan lying unconscious on the bed, Zhao Yunxiang remembered the last time Yuanyuan fell into the water. When she thought of Zhou Yuanyuan falling into the water, Zhao Yunxiang hated Zhou Zhixin so much that her teeth itched.
When Zhao Yunxiang stood up, she fell back down. After Zhou Yuanyuan woke up, Zhao Yunxiang's anxiety and tense nerves relaxed, and she felt that she had no strength left in her body.
"Sister, you take a rest. Before I leave, I will go home and tell my brother-in-law that Liqin will bring dinner." Zhao Guohui is a careful person. He has arranged things at home before he goes out.
Looking at Zhao Guohui's back as he walked away, Zhou Yuanyuan fell into deep thought.
In both his past and present lives, Zhao Guohui had always been a cheerful and generous man. How could such a man embezzle public funds and abuse his power for personal gain? Zhou Yuanyuan wouldn't believe it even if she told him the truth.
In her previous life, Zhou Yuanyuan was too young to recall why Zhao Guohui was imprisoned. In her previous life, Zhao Guohui was arrested not long after Gutiezhu was arrested. In this life, Gutiezhu was arrested earlier. Could the same thing happen to Zhao Guohui?
"Goodbye, uncle." Zhou Jiasheng waved his little hand to see Zhao Guohui off, and only then did he have time to talk to Zhou Yuanyuan.
"Sister, Brother Ziqing asked me to tell you something. He will be back soon." Zhou Jiasheng then remembered what Wen Ziqing had entrusted him before he left.
"Huh? Where's Brother Ziqing?" Zhou Yuanyuan realized that Wen Ziqing was missing from the ward. These days, Zhou Yuanyuan was used to Wen Ziqing being around her all the time, so it felt a bit awkward to see him suddenly disappear.
"Brother Ziqing's grandfather is sick, so grandpa and Brother Ziqing went to see him." Zhou Jiasheng's words were a bit confusing, but Zhou Yuanyuan thought about it and understood what was going on.
Grandpa Wen is sick? Grandpa went to Qingshan City?
This is great! Grandpa is not at home, so I can never be slandered by Wang Biyun again in this life, right?
Zhou Yuanyuan seemed to be lost in thought.
To be honest, Zhou Yuanyuan was quite worried about Zhao Qingshan. Zhao Qingshan wouldn't just sit back and do nothing about Gu Tiezhu's matter. Rather than worrying about being smeared by Wang Biyun, it would be better to ignore it from the beginning. After all, Gu Tiezhu's mistakes were obvious, and the punishment he received was a matter for the public security organs.
