Xu Ruantang was both amused and exasperated. "Sisters-in-law, I drive very steadily, don't worry!"
That's what I said, but nobody listened.
As Xu Ruantang drove, the women exclaimed in amazement the whole way, and their legs went weak when they got out of the car.
Liu Xue, still holding on, gave Xu Ruantang a thumbs up.
A group of people rushed into the hospital looking for a ward.
When they arrived, they found Lu Shishen lying in a hospital bed, with Wang Xiuxiu feeding him soup spoonful by spoonful.
The women looked at each other, their eyes sparkling with gossip.
Hearing the noise, Wang Xiuxiu put down her spoon and walked over to everyone with a frank expression.
"Sisters-in-law, come in quickly."
When Wang Xiuxiu saw Xu Ruantang, she jokingly asked her, "Did you drive here?"
Xu Ruantang was shocked. It was just her driving, how did the news spread so fast?
How did you know?
Wang Xiuxiu pointed to the window, "I saw it from here. I even saw that when the women got off the bus, they couldn't stand up straight."
Xu Ruantang: "......."
"Xiuxiu, these are the eggs and fruits that everyone brought. Take a look and give them to Deputy Battalion Commander Lu to help him get some nutrition."
Liu Xue smiled and stepped forward to change the subject. She was going to ride back in Ruan Tang's car later, and with them laughing at her like that, what would she do if she couldn't drive?
Everyone's lives and fortunes are in her hands; we must be careful.
Wang Xiuxiu smiled gently, "Okay, thank you, sisters-in-law."
Lu Shishen, who was half-lying on the hospital bed, unconsciously curled up the corner of his lips when he saw this scene.
In the past, none of these women wanted to associate with Xiuxiu, but now, even though they are divorced, they still visit him when he is sick, out of respect for Xiuxiu.
That's great, Xiuxiu has friends now.
Lu Shishen had only taken two sips of soup and was hoping that Wang Xiuxiu would exchange a few pleasantries with her sisters-in-law before feeding him more.
He got a cut on his arm, but it wasn't that serious; he didn't even need to be hospitalized.
But there's nothing we can do.
Lu Shishen wanted to stay with Wang Xiuxiu.
During the days before and after the Lunar New Year, Wang Xiuxiu barely paid any attention to him. Only during the Lunar New Year period, in order to deal with both sets of parents and to prevent Lu Xiaozhao from noticing anything amiss, the three of them always acted together.
Even though they lived together day and night, Wang Xiuxiu moved out immediately after the New Year.
Lu Shishen had no chance to speak to her.
Yesterday was the weekend, and they had agreed to spend one day each month together with Xiao Zhao.
When Wang Xiuxiu arrived at the new house, Lu Shishen went to pick her up.
Who knew they would run into Brother Dao and his gang.
Wang Xiuxiu insisted on not hiring Dao Ge's people when decorating her new house, and they deliberately retaliated yesterday.
Lu Shishen didn't even dare to think about what would have happened to Wang Xiuxiu if he hadn't been there.
Thinking of this, Lu Shishen's face darkened.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Lu, hurry up and drink your soup, it'll get cold if you don't. Xiuxiu made it especially for you."
Liu Xue laughed and said, "Last night, it was already past midnight when she came to knock on my door and asked me if I had any ginger. You couldn't have seen how anxious she was."
Several of the women laughed along.
Who is Wang Xiuxiu? Despite being teased a few times, she remained unfazed. "I've already started stewing the chicken. Without ginger, it won't taste fishy. Xiao Zhao and I can't eat chicken that's too fishy."
Looking at the pure soup in front of him, which contained not a single piece of meat, Lu Shishen suddenly lost his appetite.
So, the mother and son ate the chicken, while he, the sick man, only got the soup!
Wang Xiuxiu walked to Lu Shishen's side, picked up a spoon and scooped up a spoonful of soup, "Open your mouth."
Lu Shishen obediently opened his mouth.
Several of the women's wives were curious about how Lu Shishen got injured, and one of them couldn't help but ask.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Lu, this is still a knife wound?! You got it while on a mission?"
Lu Shishen was drinking soup and couldn't speak, so Wang Xiuxiu answered for him: "No, I ran into some thugs. Those people were after me."
Wang Xiuxiu was simply stating the facts, but her sisters-in-law heard a different story.
"Xiuxiu must have been heartbroken at the time, right?"
"Of course, every time my husband comes back with a little injury, I feel sorry for him for a long time."
"Are there still thugs around? Did you report them to the police? Were those guys arrested?"
After feeding the chicken soup, Wang Xiuxiu picked up the lunchbox and said, "I'll go wash the dishes. You guys chat first."
As soon as she left, a group of women surrounded Lu Shishen.
They all blinked, waiting for Lu Shishen to answer the question he had just asked.
Lu Shishen felt a little embarrassed by the stares from his sisters-in-law, so he coughed lightly and said, "Those people are not simple. Reporting to the police will probably be useless. I went to the police station once before the New Year, but they still did whatever they wanted."
Xu Ruantang frowned. "I also ran into them during the Chinese New Year. That weasel-faced guy had a broken hand. I didn't expect them to be so arrogant."
Lu Shishen smiled slightly, "Don't worry, the deputy brigade commander has already taken care of it. We can't let them be so rampant under our noses."
Xu Ruantang's heart skipped a beat. So Chen Ji hadn't come back last night because he went to deal with this matter.
However, judging from Wang Xiuxiu's description, this matter seems difficult to handle.
When Wang Xiuxiu returned, the group planned to say goodbye.
“I’ll go back with you, and I’ll also try out Ruan Tang’s driving skills.”
Wang Xiuxiu picked up her coat and thermos from beside the hospital bed, intending to go with them.
Liu Xue glanced at Lu Shishen and asked, "Can Deputy Battalion Commander Lu manage here alone? Xiuxiu, why don't you stay here? I'll pick up Xiao Zhao and have him eat at my house."
That's what we've always done anyway.
When Lu Shishen heard that Wang Xiuxiu was leaving, his eyes darkened.
Hearing Liu Xue's words, he looked at her with gratitude.
Liu Xue pretended not to see it.
Wang Xiuxiu also turned to look at Lu Shishen, "Your injury is on your arm, can you manage on your own?"
She said that very skillfully.
It means they don't want to stay; anyone with eyes can tell right away.
Lu Shishen's face fell, but he quickly raised his head again and said, "I can't. The doctor said that I need to have another test this afternoon, and a family member must accompany me."
The sisters-in-law were practically tearing their clothes apart in private, wanting to laugh but unable to let it out loud.
Deputy Battalion Commander Lu is now completely different from the stern-faced man who used to be, rarely speaking to anyone!
We've all been through this before, so who can't see that he did it on purpose?
Wang Xiuxiu ultimately stayed.
"Xiuxiu, don't worry, I'll take good care of Xiaozhao. You just need to take good care of your savior, Deputy Battalion Commander Lu!"
Liu Xue also started joking with Wang Xiuxiu.
Wang Xiuxiu's eyelids twitched; she really couldn't refute those words.
If Lu Shishen hadn't blocked her way, she would be the one in the hospital now.
She was afraid of the pain and didn't want to be hospitalized.
Soon, Wang Xiuxiu looked at Lu Shishen with suspicion.
He's been in the army for so many years, how come he can't even handle a few thugs? Are the scenes of soldiers fighting on TV all fake?
