Early in the morning, the Zhuang and Lin families were having breakfast in the courtyard when Xiang Pengfei led a girl in. Upon seeing them, she greeted them, "Uncle, Aunt, Happy New Year! Look who I brought back!"
Huang Ling looked at the girl with surprise and said, "Is she your girlfriend, Xiao Zhou?"
Xiang Pengfei said with a smile, "Yes! Her name is Zhou Yuxiang. She's the younger sister of one of my buddies. Her brother's construction team seems to have contracted with Tu Nan to design the buildings. They're all colleagues who work together!"
"Really? That's great! Come on, sit down and let's have a meal together!"
Just as Xiang Pengfei went inside to move a stool, Aunt Zhang from the alley entrance called out, "Huang Ling, your phone number!"
Huang Ling hurriedly said, "Coming! Coming! Calling during the New Year must be to send blessings. Let me go see who it is?"
Zhuang Chaoying said, "They're all unimportant calls, take your time!"
"Okay, I understand!"
Although Huang Ling said she understood, she still hurried over.
Upon arriving at the convenience store, Huang Ling greeted with a smile, "Hello, who is it?"
"Auntie, it's me, Li Jia!"
"Oh, Li Jia! What's up?"
“My colleague just told me that Tu Nan is in the hospital and his injuries are quite serious. I don’t have time to visit him right now, but you should go and see him!”
"Ah! Him, which hospital is he in?"
Suzhou People's Hospital!
"Okay, I'll hang up now! I'll be right there!"
After hanging up the phone, Huang Ling quickly ran back, without making a fuss, and went into the house.
Zhuang Chaoying, who was eating, was a little puzzled and wondered who had called.
At this moment, Huang Ling, who had grabbed the clothes, was about to run outside when Zhuang Chaoying hurriedly asked, "Where are you going? You haven't said a word. What's wrong?"
At this moment, Huang Ling, her face streaked with tears, angrily said, "It's none of your business! From now on, you don't need to worry about anything. All you care about is money. You can just go with your money!"
When the people in the courtyard saw Huang Ling like this, they panicked and were all worried. Zhuang Xiaoting quickly went to Huang Ling's side, supported Huang Ling's arm, and said, "Mom, what happened?"
“Last night, I wouldn’t let Tu Nan work overtime, but your dad said he wanted him to earn more money and it would be good training. Now look what’s happened, Tu Nan is in the hospital, lying in the People’s Hospital! Now he’s satisfied, not to mention whether he made any money, he’s in trouble!”
"ah!"
The people in the courtyard were in even greater turmoil, especially Zhuang Chaoying, who was completely stunned. He muttered, "Tu Nan is in trouble. How could something like this happen during the New Year?"
At this moment, Zhou Yuxiang hurriedly said to Xiang Pengfei, "Quickly, drive your aunt to see Tunan!"
Xiang Pengfei took a few steps forward and said to Huang Ling, "Let's go, Auntie, I'll take you there!"
Huang Ling then turned to leave the courtyard, but Zhuang Chaoying said, "Wait for me, I'm coming too!"
Huang Ling suddenly glared at Zhuang Chaoying and said, "You're not allowed to see my son. Go back with your money!"
Zhuang Chaoying said somewhat impatiently, "I'm only doing this for Tu Nan's own good! He wants to improve, can't I support that?"
Song Ying quickly said, "Dongzhe, you and Xiaoting go to the hospital with Mom. We'll tidy up the house and go too!"
Lin Dongzhe nodded hurriedly and said, "I understand, Mom! Don't worry!"
Xiang Pengfei then led Huang Ling and the others outside.
Zhuang Chaoying wanted to follow but didn't dare. Suddenly, she sat back down in her original seat, lowered her head, and looked worried.
Lin Wufeng quickly comforted him, saying, "Brother Zhuang, my sister-in-law is angry right now. Let's not go with them yet. Let's go after they leave!"
After speaking, Lin Wufeng and Song Ying busied themselves clearing away the dishes and chopsticks on the table.
Xiang Pengfei's driving skills were excellent, and they quickly arrived at the People's Hospital and found Zhuang Tunan's ward.
At this moment, Zhuang Tunan was lying in bed, but his legs were in a sling. His legs were not only wrapped in plaster, but also clamped with wooden boards, making it clear to anyone how badly his legs were injured.
As soon as Huang Ling pushed open the ward door, she saw Zhuang Tunan lying on the hospital bed. She looked at Zhuang Tunan with great affection and said, "Tunan, what happened to you?"
Zhuang Tunan, pale-faced, turned his head and looked at Huang Ling, saying, "Mom, I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me!"
Huang Ling scolded, "I don't need to worry about you. Look at the state you've become! I told you not to work overtime, but you wouldn't listen. Look at the state you've become! What are we going to do?"
Zhuang Xiaoting's eyes also reddened, and she asked Zhuang Tunan, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"I was on patrol when I accidentally fell into a pit!"
Just then, a doctor walked in and asked, "Are you the patient's family members?"
Huang Ling quickly turned around and said, "I'm his mother, doctor. How is my son?"
The doctor glanced around, perhaps sensing the crowd, and said, "Mother, would you like to come to my office?"
Xiang Pengfei said with some surprise, "Can't we say this here?"
After the doctor finished speaking, he left the ward, and Huang Ling had no choice but to follow him out.
Upon arriving at the doctor's office, the doctor sat down and said to Huang Ling, "Mother, please sit down first!"
Huang Ling asked anxiously, "Doctor, how is my son?"
"Oh dear, this is quite serious, Mom!"
"ah!"
"Both legs have different fractures. It's possible that his left leg landed first, so the fracture is more severe, with two-thirds broken. The other leg is slightly less severe, but it's still about one-third broken. We've put a cast on him and splinted it in place. We'll see how well it heals."
"Will my son be able to stand up again?"
"It's hard to say. There's a 90% chance he won't be able to stand up. If a miracle happens, he might be able to stand up, but that depends on a miracle!"
Huang Ling was stunned, muttering to herself, "Tu Nan is about to get married, how could something like this suddenly happen to him!"
Just then, Zhuang Xiaoting walked to the door and said, "Mom, my brother's boss is here. Why don't you go and see him?"
Huang Ling quickly stood up and said to the doctor, "Doctor, I'll go now!"
The doctor nodded and said, "Okay, you go ahead and do your work! Call me if the patient has any issues!"
"Um!"
The deputy director of Zhuang Tunan's unit, along with several leaders, came to visit him. The deputy director held Zhuang Tunan's hand and said, "Such a big thing happened, it's all because of our poor arrangements. We shouldn't have only asked you to be on duty. I'm sorry, Xiao Zhuang. Don't worry, your injury is a work-related injury, we will help you pay all the expenses, and give you an additional subsidy of 10,000 yuan. How does that sound?"
Zhuang Tunan's face looked rather pale, whether from leg pain or worry about his future. However, since his superior had spoken, he had to respond. So he forced a smile and said, "Okay, I'll follow your arrangements. I'll be better in a few days, and I'll definitely work harder and contribute more to our design institute!"
"Okay, young people are young people. I wish you a speedy recovery, and we can work together again."
At this moment, Huang Ling came in from outside. As soon as she saw the leader of the design institute, she said, "Leader, our Tu Nan, he..."
The deputy director smiled and said to Huang Ling, "You must be Tu Nan's mother? Don't worry, our design institute will take responsibility. Tu Nan's injury was work-related, so of course we will take responsibility!"
