The nurse was in a bad mood, so she inevitably used too much force. Zhou Xiaojun cried out in pain repeatedly, and Bai Ailian, feeling sorry for him, kept telling him to be gentler.
Thinking that Bai Ailian had gone the wrong way, Zhou Xiaolan endured the pain and walked out, then followed the sound to find her.
Seeing this scene before me, my heart grew even colder.
It turns out that she was just being delusional; the other person hadn't come for her at all.
But they were in the same ward, and she had just called out, so why did she pretend not to hear?
"Mom," Zhou Xiaolan called out after standing there for so long and realizing that no one in the ward had seen her yet.
"What are you doing here?" Bai Ailian glanced at her, assuming she had rushed over after receiving the news. "Why didn't your father come with you?"
"So you're a family," the nurse said, looking up. She had treated this young girl's wounds three times today; this family must be so unlucky.
"You two know each other?" Bai Ailian asked, somewhat surprised.
“How could I not recognize her?” the nurse said, finishing treating the last wound. “This lady has been to our hospital three times and been discharged twice today.”
I treated all of her wounds.
"By the way, since we know each other, would you like to settle the hospital bill first, or just put it on your account?"
The hospital initially agreed to treat her on credit since she was a student, and the final settlement would be made at her parents' factory later.
Now that this comrade's elders have arrived, it's a good time to settle the bill, saving the finance department from having to make another trip later.
"What?" Bai Ailian then noticed that Zhou Xiaolan had bandages in several places on her body. "What are you doing? The family just paid for your medical expenses, and now you're doing this again. How are we supposed to live like this?"
Thinking about how the Hua family hadn't paid their medical bills last time, and instead had attracted a lot of gossip, Bai Ailian felt nauseous.
Today, both of her children were injured at the same time. She was already heartbroken to receive money before, let alone Zhou Xiaolan's three trips in and out of the hospital. Isn't this going to kill her?
"Who hurt you?" If there is a culprit, it would be good to reimburse Xiaojun's medical expenses.
"No one hurt her. I heard she always fell and injured herself, and there was never anyone nearby." The nurse had seen too many people like this. Seeing Bai Ailian's attitude, she was looking for a scapegoat, so she naturally stood up to speak the truth.
"..." Bai Ailian didn't believe what the nurse said and stared directly at Zhou Xiaolan.
Zhou Xiaolan naturally dared not falsely accuse others at this moment. After all, several times she had fallen, people had seen it from afar, so she couldn't deny it even if she wanted to. "I fell down by myself."
"I raised you all these years, and you can't even walk properly?" Bai Ailian knew there was no hope of getting compensation, so she became even more irritable. Ignoring the fact that they were in a hospital, she pointed at Zhou Xiaolan and started scolding her.
Zhou Xiaojun also felt that Zhou Xiaolan was useless; she could trip and fall even when walking on a perfectly good road.
"What's wrong with my brother?" Zhou Xiaolan asked, seeing that Bai Ailian had finally stopped to catch her breath.
"What else could happen? I told him not to associate with those shady friends, but he didn't listen, and now he's been beaten up because of a quarrel."
Bai Ailian was extremely annoyed; neither of her two children could give her any peace of mind.
She works herself to death every day, and when she gets home she still has to deal with all this trivial stuff.
These people are really something. Instead of notifying their father when something happens, they come to the factory to tell them. I wonder if Zhou Jinfa knows about the message she asked someone to pass on.
When Zhou Jinfa arrived at the hospital, he found that both his son and daughter were injured, and naturally he lost his temper again.
He couldn't find anyone to reason with regarding Zhou Xiaolan's matter, but Zhou Xiaojun did have a culprit, though he dared not offend those people.
Feeling aggrieved, he brought the person home, grumbling and cursing...

Hua Xiangyun stood in the courtyard watching the gentle spring rain, then took the straw hat hanging on the wall and put it on her head.
"The roads are slippery when it rains, remember to walk slowly," Tian Guihua couldn't help but remind Zhou Xiaolan, who had fallen several times yesterday.
Hua Xiangyun: "I understand."
Grandma, did you go to see what was going on yesterday?
"Go on, hurry up and go to school, don't be late," Tian Guihua urged.
On rainy days, the time spent on the road will be longer, so it's best to leave home earlier.
Hua Xiangyun didn't expect to run into He Ping'an, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, as soon as she stepped out the door.
He was in a good mood, with a smile on his face the whole time.
However, upon seeing Hua Xiangyun, he snorted coldly and quickly walked away from her.
Hua Xiangyun didn't care. Since the start of the semester, He Ping'an had been isolated by everyone because of the incident where he injured her. It was said that he always had a gloomy face and kept to himself, so everyone was even less willing to associate with him.
“I heard your courtyard was quite lively yesterday,” Wu Yanxin said. She had been squatting under the eaves of the opposite house, but when she saw Hua Xiangyun come out, she quickly ran over and walked alongside her.
"Your information network is quite impressive; we live in the same courtyard." Hua Xiangyun teased.
Wu Yanxin said, "So what if we're separated by a courtyard? Let me tell you, there's no secret that can be kept in our county."
Do you know who fought with Zhou Xiaojun yesterday?
Hua Xiangyun shook her head, she really didn't know. She had a lot of homework yesterday, so she stayed in her room the whole time.
This question... "Did you finish your homework yesterday?" Do you have the energy to gossip?
“Let’s not talk about this, we’re still good friends,” Wu Yanxin said, her face falling. “I was in such a rush when I came back yesterday that I left my homework in the classroom. I didn’t dare tell my family, so I just said I didn’t have any homework.”
Although the teacher didn't intervene, she still felt uneasy, as if she had committed a terrible mistake.
“You can make it up today,” Hua Xiangyun still wanted to persuade her friend. “Only when we learn and master this knowledge will it truly belong to us.”
If we happen to need these skills someday, it means we're better than others.
Wu Yanxin nodded. She had originally wanted to ask Hua Xiangyun to copy her homework, but after thinking about it, she gave up.
"I haven't told you who Zhou Xiaojun fought with yet," Wu Yanxin said mysteriously. "Do you remember Chen Dasheng, the little tyrant in our neighborhood?"
Hua Xiangyun rolled her eyes at her, "Our two families live so close together, we're always running back and forth, how could we not remember each other?"
I remember that kid used to steal my candy, I never thought we'd start fighting. I think he was only fifteen or sixteen years old…”
Wu Yanxin really didn't know about this. "I've never heard you mention it before, but that kid has been bad since he was a child. We live in the same courtyard, and I don't know how many times we've had our disagreements."
However, Chen Dasheng was also beaten quite badly this time, and he was yelling at his father to help him get revenge.
What do you think happened? My grandma and the others went to see a doctor yesterday; there was a bruise on her arm, but the skin wasn't even broken.
Hua Xiangyun knew the Zhou family's personalities well. "Why would Chen Dasheng provoke Zhou Xiaojun for no reason? He's a reckless person too."
