Yun Qiao looked at Jiang Hua in surprise, as if he had not expected her to say that.
"Your father...isn't he a doctor at the Ninth Regiment's clinic? How could such a large clinic at the regiment be short of a job for you?"
"My dear... my dear..." Jiang Hua found it difficult to speak when talking about her dear. After hesitating for a long time, she said hesitantly, "My dear was demoted some time ago."
Yun Qiao was shocked when he heard this, "What happened?"
She knew Jiang Hua's relatives. She had heard about them when she was interning at the field hospital. They were said to be very good doctors and well-respected in the Ninth Regiment. They had no problems with their background, so how could they be suddenly demoted?
Jiang Hua bit her lip, as if she had something to hide.
Seeing this, Yun Qiao didn't dare to ask any more questions, "Sorry, I talked too much."
She sighed softly and said, "Anyway, since we are here, let's work hard."
Jiang Hua shook her head. "Actually, there's nothing I can't say. My father killed someone with his medical treatment, and the patient's family wouldn't give in. They demanded my father's life as compensation. They even broke into my house late at night and hacked my guard dog to death. They also threatened to make our family suffer, saying that today would be our last day. My mother was also forced to divorce my father. The divorce was finalized that morning, and a matchmaker came to our house that afternoon, offering her a remarriage. She had no choice but to remarry for my brother's sake. My father's demotion was actually a good thing. He's now several miles away, so he won't be targeted by those who seek revenge."
"Now I have a good place to go. At least my family is relatively unscathed in this incident."
She tried to speak in a lighthearted tone, as the matter itself was bitter enough, and Yun Qiao couldn't help but feel mixed emotions when he heard it.
"Can I ask, what is that patient's illness?"
"Myocardial infarction." Jiang Hua smiled bitterly. "The patient came to see me for stomach pain, but it was actually a heart attack. He died after taking the medicine my father prescribed, and his family refused an autopsy, so there's nothing we can do... we can only accept it."
"A heart attack is indeed... toothache, stomachache, sore throat, even backache. It's hard to distinguish the various symptoms." Yun Qiao sighed, patted Jiang Hua's shoulder, and comforted her, "It's already happened. No matter what you do, it won't help. Don't dwell on it. The atmosphere in the base is very good. You're married now and have a job. Your life will get better and better in the future."
"Did you know that I married Old Xie... Deputy Commander Xie?" Jiang Hua said with conviction. She smiled and lowered her voice, "Actually, my marriage to Old Xie isn't what you think. My father helped him, and he only married me to help me escape that dangerous situation. You don't know how crazy the man who killed the dog is. He often wanders around my house with a knife. I really don't dare stay there alone anymore."
"I understand," Yun Qiao said. "Anyone would be afraid if their enemies were watching them day and night. It's normal."
"Well, I was just too scared." Jiang Hua's eyes were slightly red, and she whispered, "Yun Qiao, don't blame me. I didn't mean to take your job. If I knew you were the doctor in the clinic, I would rather be just a nurse."
"It's okay. Doctors and nurses are all the same. I'm pregnant now, so the nurse's job is even easier." Yun Qiao felt helpless. After repeated comforts, she also felt a little tired.
What else could she say?
Jiang Hua is already in such a miserable state.
"Thank you, Yun Qiao. I'm glad you don't blame me." Jiang Hua smiled at her, and her curved eyebrows seemed to be back to their previous state.
She is too thin now, with not much flesh on her cheeks. When she smiles, her cheekbones appear higher.
Yun Qiao sighed in his heart and forced a smile at her.
There were heavy footsteps outside the door. Jiang Hua coughed lightly, smoothed her hair subconsciously, and distanced herself from Yun Qiao.
The next second, Gao Qian trudged into the house and said loudly, "I've washed the door curtains. I've hung them on the rope outside. They'll be put away once they're dry."
"Thank you for your hard work." Jiang Hua said politely.
In front of Gao Qian, Jiang Hua did not act as if she was very familiar with Yun Qiao. She nodded slightly coldly, walked out of the pharmacy, and sat down at her desk.
Yun Qiao and Gao Qian looked at each other, smiled at each other, and said nothing more. The three of them just worked on their own things until they got off work at noon.
Gao Qian went out with her bag on her back and politely asked Jiang Hua, "We're on our way to the family compound. Doctor Jiang, would you like to join us?"
Jiang Hua shook her head: "No, I won't go out to eat at noon, I'll eat in the company cafeteria."
Gao Qian: "Okay then, let's go first. See you later."
Yun Qiao also said, "See you later."
"Okay, see you later." Jiang Hua said.
Following the crowd of people leaving get off work, they headed out of the military uniform factory. Gao Qianqian stood on the outside, secretly protecting Yun Qiao. When there were too many people, she would push people aside to avoid squeezing Yun Qiao.
After leaving the military uniform factory, there were fewer people on the road, and they were all sparsely populated and far away.
Gao Qian lowered her voice and said, "You didn't believe everything Doctor Jiang said, did you?"
"What do you want?" Yun Qiao asked in confusion, "She said quite a lot today."
"That's what she said to you alone in the pharmacy." Gao Qian said frankly.
Yun Qiao was slightly stunned: "Did you hear it?"
"Yeah." Gao Qian nodded. "I was brushing the door curtain quickly, and when I came in, I just heard her talking about her mother. She spoke too quietly afterwards, so I didn't hear her. I didn't mean to overhear."
Yun Qiao suddenly realized.
No wonder Gao Qian's footsteps were so loud when she came. It turned out that she was deliberately reminding them that she was coming.
Yun Qiao didn't say anything about it, but just reminded: "Don't tell anyone."
"I know, but I definitely won't tell anyone. After all, she's the deputy division commander's wife. How could I dare to offend her?"
If gossip about the deputy division commander’s wife spreads, she might not be able to stay in the staff quarters anymore.
Gao Qian said: "I just want to ask you, do you believe what she said?"
"I didn't believe it completely, but I think I believed it about 90%." Yun Qiao replied, "Her mother's affairs should have been known to everyone in the Ninth Regiment, and even the entire 58th Farm. There was no need for her to lie."
"I'm not saying her story about her mother-in-law is fake. If you ask around, you'll know it's true. She wouldn't lie about it." Gao Qian said, "What I mean is, do you believe her story about not intentionally stealing your job?"
