"Why are you so speechless?"
"Now your sister is the only one in the family who makes money by writing articles. If we don't rely on her, who else can we rely on?"
Mrs. Huang patted her eldest daughter's back twice and rubbed her forehead irritably.
"Mom, you don't have any money? How come the dowry is used up so quickly?!" Huang Wanshu looked at Huang Dongshi with disbelief.
"In order to save your uncle, I sold all my dowry. Now I only have a few sets of clothes left."
Huang Wanshu was stunned. "Ah? Then why didn't you tell me earlier? Where did the money you gave me come from?"
Huang Dong glared at her angrily, "I took it from your sister!"
Huang Wanshu: "What should I do? I'm her sister, she won't just refuse to give it to me, right? The son I give birth to will have the surname Huang. Didn't you say that she agreed to help raise the child?"
"Mom, you have to help me, otherwise I won't let my son have the surname Huang."
Mrs. Huang Dong poked her forehead hard and said, "If you don't want him to have the surname Huang, what do you want his surname to be?"
Huang Wanshu: "It's Axiang's last name."
Mrs. Huang turned around and asked Ah Xiang, "Ah Xiang, do you think so too?"
Ah Xiang scratched his head with a silly smile, "Mom, look at what you said, why would I think that?"
Huang Wanzhen returned to Furongju and went straight to the study. She was writing a novel recently. Considering the current political chaos, which is very likely to cause trouble, she did not use this era as the background, but chose ancient times.
In order to avoid criticism, she wrote about the love, hatred and vengeance of the people in the underworld.
Although she had never written a novel on this subject, she had read it in her previous life!
She wrote about all the major sects seen in modern times, and added the lingering love stories between these young sect masters, letting them stir up trouble in the martial arts world and get entangled in the love field.
Huang Wanzhen not only wrote novels every day, but also bought a lot of books to read. She couldn't always rely on her old knowledge to make a living. She had to constantly absorb new knowledge to achieve long-term prosperity.
She did not work in isolation, but first wrote an introduction and outline, and mailed it to Zhan Yongwen for review. Only after receiving his affirmative reply did she continue in depth.
That day, Huang Wanzhen got up early in the morning and started rummaging through boxes and drawers looking for winter clothes.
"Miss, what are you looking for? Let me help you find it." Xiulan came in with a plate of buns and a bowl of millet porridge, and casually put the tray on the table.
"I'm going to John's Hospital today. It's getting cold, so I'm looking for a winter coat."
Xiulan patted her head and said with an annoyed look: "Oh, my lady, don't look for it. You haven't packed up last year's winter clothes yet. If you don't make them bigger, there is a high probability that you can't wear them."
Huang Wanzhen had been so busy reading and writing novels recently that she had forgotten about this. She rubbed her arms in fear of the cold and turned to ask, "What should I do?"
Xiulan: "How about we go to the hospital tomorrow? I can help you change your clothes today."
Huang Wanzhen pondered for a while and then said, "Come with me to buy something. Although I don't mind wearing old clothes, these jackets and skirts are really too much trouble. I want to wear a Western dress."
Although she knew that her wife would not agree, Xiulan still followed Huang Wanzhen to the dress shop. She felt that it was not easy for the young lady to be busy from morning till night to support the family.
Since wearing a dress makes her happy, then let her wear it. It's not just the young lady who wears it. Many young ladies and ladies on the street wear that way now.
After coming out of the shop, Huang Wanzhen looked like a completely different person. She was wearing a black woolen dress and a gray coat, looking extremely fashionable.
"Miss, you look so beautiful in a dress, you look better than all of them." Xiulan looked at Huang Wanzhen in the wheelchair with clear eyes.
Huang Wanzhen looked her over and didn't find any signs of flattery. She nodded with amusement and said, "Since you have such a sweet mouth, I'll buy you some osmanthus cake."
Looking at the sun, it was not too early, so they put the food aside and rushed to the hospital.
After entering the hospital lobby, Huang Wanzhen looked left and right but couldn't find Bella.
She asked the other counter nurse in English and was told that Bella was off today.
She explained with a smile that she had made an appointment for foot radiotherapy in advance and had paid the full fee before, so she asked if she could go in directly to see the doctor.
The nurse smiled and nodded, then walked out of the counter and said, "Who is the doctor who will be performing your surgery? I'll take you there."
Huang Wanzhen: "Doctor Anthony."
Nurse: "Oh! This is the director of our West Surgery Department. Please follow me."
Although Huang Wanzhen was already very familiar with Anthony, she still said nothing and followed her obediently to Anthony's office.
"Oh! Miss Huang, you are late today. I have been waiting for you for ten minutes." Anthony said with a smile.
Although his tone was relaxed and didn't sound blaming, Huang Wanzhen immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, Dr. Anthony. I'll be more careful next time."
The second operation was faster than the first. It only took two and a half hours, and Huang Wanzhen was pushed to the ward.
"Wanzhen, do you need to be hospitalized this time?" Shen Junyan diligently made notes in the notebook.
Huang Wanzhen, exhausted, was extremely clear-headed. When she heard Shen Junyan's question, she nodded hurriedly.
"How many days can you stay?"
Shen Junyan's gaze shifted from the notebook to her. "A week at most."
Huang Wanzhen said without hesitation: "Then it will be a week. Please give me a double room."
Shen Junyan looked at Xiulan who was standing aside, "She can't be hospitalized, only family members can be hospitalized."
Huang Wanzhen wrinkled her nose and said reluctantly, "Oh."
Why isn't Bella at work today? What bad luck!
"Can you go back and pack your things by yourself?"
After Shen Junyan left, Huang Wanzhen confirmed with Xiulan again and again.
Xiulan nodded twice, "Yes, I can do it. I'll call a rickshaw to go back."
Huang Wanzhen: "Well, don't chat with the driver. Just tell him the address and get on if the price is not too high."
Xiulan nodded.
"Don't forget to bring my pen and paper, and the book I left on the table."
Xiulan continued to nod.
No matter how detailed Huang Wanzhen's instructions were, something still went wrong.
In the evening, Mrs. Huang came in carrying a bundle, following Xiulan, who was also covered in bundles.
"Wanzhen, why didn't you tell your mother that you were coming to the hospital? I was so worried."
Huang Wanzhen, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, immediately sat up and asked, "Mom, why are you here?"
Huang Dong wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "I'm worried about you. I heard from Xiulan that you need to stay in the hospital for seven days. I will take care of you in the hospital during these days."
Huang Wanzhen rolled her eyes at the ceiling and said, "Come on, it's a good thing that I don't serve you. Why are you still serving me?"
"Can you pour me some water or buy me some food?"
"Be good! Go back quickly. My family can't leave without you. You still have to look after my dad."
Huang Dongshi waved her hand and said, "No, I have made all the arrangements. He would rather I am not here so that the Second Concubine can serve him."
