Alright, the old man is kicking us out, so let's hurry up and leave, lest we upset him.
After Wang Jun and Li Qiaoyun left, Li Chu closed the outer door and returned to the inner room, where Uncle Wang sat with a slightly gloomy expression.
"Xiao Chu, what are your thoughts?"
"Uncle, to be honest, I really don't understand Xu Ying's motives."
Uncle Wang pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that someone has their eye on your medicine?"
These words surprised Li Chu slightly. Such a possibility did exist, but was it really necessary?
He's a doctor; if you need anything, you can come to him. Why go through these kinds of means?
Just like Xu Ying, no matter what the reason, her life is ruined.
Didn't she consider this issue before? What made her willing to take such a big risk?
"Uncle, have you noticed that there were any missing or incomplete medications when I dispensed them for you?"
"Why should I care about that? Besides, Xiao Meng was the one who carried it before."
"Sigh," Li Chu sighed, he had a bit of a headache.
"Xiao Chu, who did you return that medicine to?"
"Only you and my aunt were made into pills. The rest of us, like you before, need to be brewed fresh."
“Your medicine is really good. I’ve found that since we started taking it, neither your aunt nor I have even caught a cold in all these years.”
"Of course, otherwise why would I bother with that? If you hadn't been so overworked, you wouldn't have fainted this time."
Li Chu was quite proud when he mentioned this. Over the years, whether it was Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang, or his sister and brother-in-law, or even Ding's parents, as long as they took the medicine he specially prepared, they were all full of energy. They were not immune to all diseases, but they rarely got sick.
"Alright, Uncle, you should go to sleep. Get some rest tomorrow, as there's a meeting the day after tomorrow that requires your attendance."
"How did you know?" Uncle Wang asked, stopping his movement just as he was about to lie down.
"How else could I know? When you were first brought to the hospital, a lot of people called."
Uncle Wang didn't say anything more. After Li Chu removed the blanket behind him, he lay down.
"Xiao Chu, please give me acupuncture, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at all."
"Please wait a moment while I disinfect the needle."
After finishing her chores and making sure Uncle Wang was asleep, Li Chu poured some hot water, wiped his face, hands, and feet, and then went to the outer room.
Zhang Jianshe has returned, but a bruise on his face tells a story of his unusual experience.
Seeing Li Chu's barely suppressed smile, Zhang Jianshe rolled his eyes helplessly.
"Uncle Li, if you want to laugh, just laugh. Why hold it in?"
Li Chu pointed to the bruises on his face: "What's wrong? Did your father come looking for you?"
Zhang Jianshe nodded with a bitter expression: "After I dropped Secretary Liu off, I drove out to come back, but my dad was waiting for me at the gate. Without saying a word, he punched me. Luckily, it was only once, otherwise I wouldn't be able to face anyone."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and rubbed his cheek.
"Serves you right, you still have a lot to learn from your dad. You think being a bodyguard is easy? Go back and ask him for some advice."
"I understand, Uncle Li."
Li Chu ignored him. This kid was getting a little arrogant and needed to be taught a lesson.
He sat on the sofa, casually picked up a newspaper and started flipping through it, when the phone next to him rang.
When I answered the phone, it was Wang Jun calling.
"Brother Chu, on my way back, I kept thinking about it and something felt off. Should I send some people to investigate?"
"Junzi, are you trying to make a mistake?"
"No, Brother Chu, this has gotten to my dad. How can I, as his son, sit idly by?"
"Deceiving Emperor Kangxi"
“I understand what you mean, but you really can’t get involved in this. If you send someone over, what will that look like? Don’t you know that’s what the higher-ups are most wary of?”
"Then I'll find some people from outside..."
"Stop!" Li Chu interrupted Wang Jun before he could finish speaking: "Is your head full of shit? Put away all your thoughts, and don't tell the second and third sons about this. I originally wanted to keep it from you and me, but the reason I told you is because I think you are my son and there are some things you need to know. But don't cause trouble. You know what to say on the phone."
"Well……"
"Alright, Junzi, go ahead and do your work. I'll take care of things here. I've also asked your sister-in-law to go over to the house."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll contact you again when I'm free from here."
After hanging up the phone, Li Chu raised his hand and rubbed his temples.
Zhang Jianshe stayed here to watch over things, while Li Chu went out to take a stroll. He hadn't come out since entering the ward all afternoon.
No matter the time of day, there is always a constant flow of people in the hospital.
As he strolled to the hospital entrance, he felt a little lost, unsure of where to go next.
Just as he was hesitating, a voice called his name came from across the street.
Looking up, Li Chu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly walked over: "Director Fang, what brings you here?"
The person who called him was the representative who had been stationed at their hospital before. He had been transferred away in 1976, and no one knew where he went. They hadn't heard anything about him in recent years.
The two shook hands, and Director Fang asked with a smile, "Why are you still at the hospital at this hour?"
“An elder is hospitalized, and I’m here to keep him company. Since I have some free time right now, I’m going out for a walk.”
Director Fang, you are now…
Li Chu had a pretty good impression of this person. When he was sent here, he never caused trouble. He just organized everyone to study every day, and spent the rest of his time doing his own thing. He didn't use his power to cause trouble. Otherwise, who knows what kind of bloodshed would have happened in those ten years.
From Dean Liu to ordinary medical staff, everyone in the hospital speaks highly of Director Fang.
After the special events of 1976 ended, people from higher authorities came to investigate him, but no one in the hospital spoke ill of him.
That's quite good. I heard that when representatives from many organizations were withdrawn, they were given wreaths.
"I'm just an ordinary citizen now, carefree and relaxed. I enjoy a cup of tea and a newspaper every day, living a leisurely life."
"Director Fang, your attitude is something we should all learn from."
"Don't call me Director Fang, just call me Lao Fang. I heard you're now the vice president?"
"I feel extremely cautious and apprehensive because my superiors trust me!"
"Hehe, you!" Director Fang said with a smile, pointing at Li Chu.
“My home is in the district government compound not far ahead. Feel free to come over and sit down. Just ask around in the compound and you’ll find my house.”
"No problem, Director Fang."
Watching Director Fang leave, this once influential figure has now faded into obscurity.
