Shen Chengyi walked over and said in a low voice: “Sister, I want to buy something for women.”
"Women use a lot of them. Young man, if you don't explain clearly, how can I know what you are talking about?" The salesperson replied casually and took out two bottles of vanishing cream from the counter. "If you want to give it to your girlfriend, you can buy this kind of vanishing cream."
"Sister, my wife is hospitalized in the military hospital across the street, and she asked me to come out and buy her the thing that you women use every month." Shen Chengyi was afraid that the salesperson didn't understand, so he raised his hand and drew a long pattern on the counter.
The young salesperson at the counter next to him took advantage of the fact that no customers came to see what was going on and responded quickly: "You mean sanitary napkins?"
After saying that, he reached out and took down two packs of sanitary napkins from the shelf behind him.
Shen Chengyi nodded awkwardly, picked up the two packs of sanitary napkins on the counter and was about to leave.
But the older salesperson stopped him and said, "Young man, you haven't paid yet."
Shen Chengyi's dark face instantly turned red. He turned around awkwardly and put down five yuan. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by the young female salesperson, "Comrade soldier, I haven't given you the change yet."
The older salesperson held back his laughter as he flipped a newspaper from the counter and said, "Young man, let me help you wrap it. There aren't many men like you who are willing to buy sanitary napkins for their wives."
"Thank you, sister." Shen Chengyi thanked her politely and quickly put the hot sanitary napkin in his hand on the counter.
The older salesperson moved quickly, wrapped two packs of sanitary napkins in newspaper, and handed them directly to Shen Chengyi.
"Thank you." Shen Chengyi thanked him again and walked out of the department store quickly without looking back.
.......
In front of the hospital
Bai Xiuying was carrying a lot of things and had just walked into the hospital gate when she saw Shen Chengyi holding a newspaper package under his right arm, looking around, not knowing what he was looking at.
"Chengyi." She just opened her mouth to call you, and then she saw Chen Chengyi running away.
Bai Xiuying was stunned and began to wonder if she was seeing things.
.......
Shen Chengyi sneaked back to the ward, lifted the quilt covering Su Yuehua, and directly stuffed the two packs of sanitary napkins under his arm into it, “I bought it for you.”
Su Yuehua tried hard to hold back her laughter, opened the newspaper, took out two packs of sanitary napkins, and when she saw that they were the brand she usually used, she nodded with satisfaction.
Bai Xiuying pushed open the door of the ward breathlessly, and saw Shen Chengyi complaining: "Chengyi, I called you, why did you run? I was carrying so many things, and I wanted you to help me carry them."
"Mom, did you call me? Maybe I didn't hear you." Shen Chengyi just played dumb.
As soon as Bai Xiuying saw his expression, she knew something was wrong. How could her son not understand?
She didn't ask any more questions, and took things out of her bag one by one. "Yuehua, these are the pants I brought for you to change into, as well as a toothbrush, towel and slippers. I don't know how long you will stay in the hospital, so I brought them all for you."
Su Yuehua held the panties that Bai Xiuying had brought her in her hand, feeling touched and shy. She lowered her head and said thank you, "Thank you, mother."
"What are you thanking for, that damn Fang Lina." Bai Xiuying had just opened her mouth to curse when she saw Huang Guihua standing next to her and quickly shut her mouth.
Huang Guihua awkwardly threw the pants that Su Yuehua had just taken off into the washbasin, and walked out of the ward while holding it, saying, "My dear relative, you do it. I'll wash the pants that Yuehua just took off."
Just now, Su Yuehua borrowed a sanitary napkin from a colleague and changed into a hospital gown. She was not in a hurry to change into the clothes that Bai Xiuying brought.
She watched Huang Guihua leave and lowered her voice and asked, "Mom, has Fang Lina been taken away by the police?"
Bai Xiuying nodded. "I was cooking dinner at home when a neighbor came to tell me that you were almost chopped by Fang Lina. I was so scared that I ran to the yard and saw the police car driving away. I wanted to go home and call, but your grandmother told me to wait for your call at home. I packed my things and came here after receiving Hongmei's call."
"I heard from neighbors that Fang Lina went back to Suzhou to pack up her things and originally planned to run away. After she was arrested, we realized that many families in our compound had been defrauded of their money by her."
Even rabbits know not to eat grass near their nests. Fang Lina shamelessly deceived even the neighbors in the compound. How can Su Boping and Lin Yaping continue to live in the compound in the future? "
Su Yuehua stayed in the hospital for a week. During this week, no one in the Su family came to see her. She felt inexplicably uneasy.
On the day she was discharged from the hospital, she was supported by Chen Chengyi and had just walked to the lobby on the first floor when she saw Su Yuhua walking towards her with a lunch box in her hand and a haggard look on her face.
Su Yuhua's eyes turned red when she saw her, "Yuehua."
"Sister, don't cry. Someone in the family is sick." Su Yuehua already had a guess in her mind, but was still unwilling to speak out.
Su Yuhua's voice was choked with sobs as she opened her mouth. "It was our parents. After Fang Lina was arrested, many of the neighbors who were cheated came to ask for money. Our father promised to pay them back one by one, but my eldest sister-in-law's family was too much. They brought people to our house to make trouble. What they said was so unpleasant that not only did our father get so angry that he had a cerebral hemorrhage, but our mother also got so angry that her heart disease relapsed."
"How are mom and dad now? Why didn't you tell me when such a big thing happened at home?" Su Yuehua's voice was filled with anxiety.
Su Yuhua raised her hand and wiped away her tears. "You can't even get out of bed. I can only worry about you if I tell you."
"Sister, take me to see my parents." Su Yuehua took Su Yuhua's hand and walked upstairs. Because the movement was too large, the injury on her waist hurt slightly.
Shen Chengyi stuffed the things he was carrying and the car keys into Bai Xiuying's hands, "Mom, go to the car and wait for us first. I'll follow Yuehua upstairs to take a look."
After saying that, he strode upstairs.
In the high-ranking cadres' ward, Su Boping was leaning on the bed with empty eyes, while Lin Yaping was sitting beside the bed with a sallow face, spooning food around someone with a small spoon in her hand.
As soon as Su Yuehua opened the door of the ward, she saw that Su Boping was so thin that he almost looked unrecognizable. He used to be such a majestic man, but now his mouth was crooked and his eyes were slanted, and he couldn't even bend one of his hands.
When Su Boping saw her, tears of excitement flowed down the corners of his eyes. He kept mumbling for a long time, but couldn't utter a word.
Su Yuehua held back her tears, walked to the bedside, held his hand and said, "Dad, don't worry. As long as you take good care of your illness, you can recover as before. You don't have to worry about things at home. Everything is up to me and my sister."
"Ah, ah." Su Boping used his good hand to tightly grasp Su Yuehua's hand and was unwilling to let go. He had something to say but was anxious and couldn't say it.
Su Yuehua said softly: "Dad, you can't get excited about your illness. If you want to tell me something, you can write it on my hand."
