Chapter 213 A child in his thirties?
The mother and daughter barged into the ward without knocking; they just walked right in.
Just as Zhizhi took a bite of the soup dumpling, before she could even sip the broth, she was interrupted, and the delicious broth flowed directly into her lunchbox.
"We're eating," Zhang Chun said with a fawning expression as soon as he came in.
Zhizhi glanced at her soup dumplings and said rather bluntly, "It seems like anyone with eyes can see this."
Liu Tian was displeased upon hearing this, but Zhang Chun was able to be both humble and assertive at this moment, saying, "Yes, yes, we were blind to your greatness."
She believed that Zhizhi was mocking her when she said those words, and she accepted it.
Indeed, they were blind to the true value of a person.
Zhizhi "??"
When did I say that?
Zhang Chun then slapped his mouth, saying, "I'm getting old and don't know how to speak properly, please don't take offense!"
Zhou Lin came out of the bathroom. He had just gone in to wash Zhizhi's clothes, but unexpectedly...
How did you get in?
"Who let you in?" Zhou Lin asked as soon as he came out.
Zhang Chun, still with a fawning expression, said, "We've come...we've come to apologize, that's all!"
Don't overthink it!
"Get out," Zhou Lin said in an unfriendly tone.
He couldn't bring himself to be kind to these two.
If you're going to apologize, you should apologize in a proper way. In Zhou Lin's view, if you're really sincere, at the very least, you should find a middleman or bring something with you.
He wasn't after those things, but that attitude is what matters.
Moreover, it's important to choose the right time.
Instead of them blocking the way before others have even had a bite to eat their breakfast.
Zhou Lin immediately told them to leave, and Zhang Chun's expression changed.
Her eyes darted around, and she suddenly knelt down beside Zhizhi's hospital bed. "This is all my fault, I'm old and my eyes are failing. If you want to blame someone, blame me. It has nothing to do with the child!"
She suddenly knelt down, which startled Zhizhi, but Zhizhi did not accept this kind of moral blackmail.
Setting the lunchbox aside, Zhizhi stood up and stepped aside, looking at Liu Tian's face, which was considerably older than hers, and scoffed, "Child?"
"A child in their thirties?"
"If that's the case, I can't easily forgive you, after all, I'm only in my early twenties."
"I'm too young to make this decision lightly."
Liu Tian was stunned the moment her mother knelt down. Her slightly harsh face turned bright red with embarrassment. She desperately pulled at Zhang Chun, who was kneeling on the ground, and shouted, "Get up, get up! What are you doing?"
Liu Tian felt that she would never be able to hold her head up high again.
Zhang Chun not only refused to get up, but became even more aggressive, raising his hand to slap himself in the face, saying, "I can't speak properly, I deserve to be hit, I deserve to be hit..."
She slapped herself repeatedly while glancing furtively at Zhizhi.
Zhizhi just rolled her eyes. "What, were your ancestors bondservants?"
"Then you should stand up. The new China has been liberated. Weren't you notified?"
"Or are you dissatisfied with the current state of the country?"
Zhang Chun's moral blackmail failed to bind Zhizhi, but Zhizhi's accusation made Zhang Chun unable to kneel. She stood up awkwardly, leaning on the hospital bed, "I...I didn't mean anything by it, I...I just thought I was wrong, I should be punished..."
"You've done wrong, you should be punished, let the law punish you!"
"Are you using the rules of the previous dynasty to define the new society?"
"Who taught you that?" Zhizhi stared at her. "Your background..."
Startled, Zhang Chun waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, it's nothing, I..." As she spoke, she even raised her hand to slap herself, but her hand was almost touching her face when she stopped, and she quickly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all our fault, it's my fault. I ate garlic that morning, and my breath smelled bad. I talked nonsense and almost... almost got you into trouble. Please don't hold it against us."
As he spoke, he nudged his daughter with his hand, saying, "Apologize to someone."
After her actions, Liu Tian felt like she wanted to disappear into the ground; she couldn't even open her mouth.
Zhizhi didn't insist. She waved her hand, signaling the two of them to leave. "An apology is fine, but find someone to witness it. You two, one old and one young, don't say I bullied you later."
"You agree, Auntie, after all, you still have a child in his thirties," Zhizhi said, leaning forward slightly and speaking in a slightly teasing tone.
Although Zhizhi didn't give her any face at all, Zhang Chun and Liu Tian didn't dare to say anything. Liu Tian just angrily pulled her mother away.
Zhizhi looked at her steamed buns again and shook her head, "Disgusting!"
It's not the steamed buns that spoil the appetite, it's the people.
"I'll go buy you another one," Zhou Lin said, assuming she had lost her appetite because the buns were cold.
Zhizhi shook her head, "No need!"
"Help me get discharged from the hospital later, then I'll go out to eat."
"Let her stay another day, so you can observe her more closely and feel more at ease," Zhou Lin said, still somewhat worried about her.
"It's nothing, I really just scared them on purpose yesterday!"
Zhou Lin showed her the clothes he had washed, "The clothes are all washed, just hang them here to dry!"
"But I want to go out to eat."
"I'll take you out, and we'll come back in a bit."
Zhizhi nodded, "Yes, that's fine!"
Liu Tian pulled her mother out of the ward and started arguing with her in the corridor: "Mom, what were you doing just now?"
"Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?"
Hearing this, Zhang Chun felt uneasy. "Shameful?"
"What embarrassment have I caused?"
"If it weren't for you, would I need to do that?"
Liu Tian was displeased. "Why is it for me?"
"How can it not be for you?" Zhang Chun pointed to his face. "Look at my face, it's still bruised!"
"I got beaten up, and I can't even get justice? I came to the hospital with you first thing this morning, what, do you think I'm so pathetic!"
Liu Tian was speechless after being rebuked, but she still felt ashamed.
He glared angrily at his mother and quickly left the hospital.
Zhang Chun followed behind, cursing and swearing, "I must have owed you something in my past life."
Zhizhi and Zhou Lin went out to eat and bought some snacks. When they returned to the ward, it was only a little past eight o'clock.
Around nine o'clock, there was a knock on the ward door. It was Political Commissar Yao who came over with some things.
Ask if Zhizhi is feeling better.
Zhizhi nodded obediently, "Yes, I feel much better. Thank you for your concern, Political Commissar Yao. I'm so sorry to have troubled you to make this trip."
Political Commissar Yao waved his hand, saying, "It's my fault for not doing my job properly."
He then asked indirectly, "Did Liu Tian and the others come to apologize?"
Zhizhi immediately started complaining, "They're here, they're here, they've been here since early this morning."
“I hadn’t even had breakfast yet when Liu Tian and her mother arrived. As soon as they entered the ward, her mother knelt down in front of me,” Zhizhi said, patting her chest. “Oh my, that scared me to death.”
"If it weren't for her kneeling down, I might have been discharged from the hospital today."
"Her kneeling really startled me, and my stomach felt tight again. I discussed it with Zhou Lin, and just to be on the safe side, we decided to stay here for another day."
Upon hearing Zhizhi's words, Political Commissar Yao immediately cursed He Zhen in his heart, but on the surface he smiled obsequiously, "Yes, the child in your belly is important, but what about Commander He's family..."
Political Commissar Yao opened his mouth, "I didn't do my job properly!"
He stood up and said, "You rest first, I'll come see you again later."
