Thinking of this, she took the opportunity to persuade Zhao Meilan, saying, "Meilan, do you really like that Comrade Li Zilong?"
"I like him. I can say with certainty that I've fallen in love with him. It was love at first sight!"
"Since that's the case, then you shouldn't care whether he's part of my family now."
If you like him, then go for it. What era are we living in? Liking someone isn't illegal, and there's nothing to worry about when pursuing someone you like.
"But what if he doesn't like me then? Also, his wife is my colleague in the same department, which doesn't seem right!"
"What's wrong with that? Putting everything else aside, how can you be so sure that Comrade Li Zilong doesn't like you? How will you know if you don't try!"
Besides, what's wrong with working in the same department? Didn't there used to be cases of women marrying the same man?
Putting everything else aside, there were even cases of aunts and nieces marrying the same man before the Qing Dynasty, so what's so strange about that?
Besides, you're just colleagues, not sisters, so what are you afraid of?
"That's true, but Li Zilong isn't home right now; he's at the front lines. What am I supposed to do? Just wait around?"
"It's not a big deal. Li Zilong isn't home, so can't you do other things? You can first befriend Liu Linjuan. Once you're familiar with her, if Li Zilong comes back alive from the battlefield, you can act when the time is right."
If Li Zilong is a lecher, then everything is simple. If he's not, then it's still easy—there's that kind of drug, right? They can find an opportunity to force themselves on him.
He has to divorce Liu Linjuan for the sake of his future, then he can marry you instead. Wouldn't that make you successful?
"Sister-in-law, is it really okay?" Zhao Meilan
"Why not? Trust me, you can definitely do it!"
And another thing! Didn't you just say that Liu Linjuan just gave birth to a daughter for Comrade Li Zilong? You can take this opportunity to become familiar with the child. If the two of them really can't go on living together, won't you use the child to quickly win over Comrade Li Zilong's heart?
Even if this man is carefree, he still loves his own child very much. If you treat his child well, I'm sure he'll fall for you.
"You can do it like that!"
"Of course! Let me tell you! When you marry Li Zilong, he'll be a soldier and won't have much time to take care of the family. Then you can raise the child however you want, right?"
"That's true, thank you!"
"You're welcome!"
Zhao Meilan is willing to do anything to be with the person she loves.
Why would anyone care if the other person has a family and children!
Thinking about being with the person I love in the future and having several lovely children makes me feel incredibly happy.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, I know what to do!"
Zhao Meilan is currently imagining the wonderful future she will have with Comrade Li Zilong.
When Zhou Xiaoya saw Zhao Meilan laughing foolishly, she felt that Zhao Meilan was quite accomplished.
If this matter is successfully completed, then in the future, with Zhao Meilan's name, it will be easy to just put a few words on her and claim her as the person in charge, without the other party noticing and without exposing herself. It can be said that this is actually a good thing, and no matter what, she will be able to explain herself in the future.
"Alright, Meilan, you go ahead with your work! I'll go check on your brother and see why he's not here yet! Why is it taking him so long to buy some fried dough twists!"
"Who says otherwise! Sister-in-law, then you should go find my brother!"
Zhao Meilan really didn't have time to entertain her future sister-in-law right now, because her mind and thoughts were filled with Li Zilong.
Seeing Zhao Meilan's attitude, Zhou Xiaoya didn't say anything more. After leaving Zhao Meilan's office, she saw Zhao Meizhi coming over and quickly went up to him, saying, "Brother Zhi, Meilan and I have finished talking. How about we go to the park for a walk?"
"OK!"
What Zhou Xiaoya didn't expect was that the two of them had just walked a short distance from the hospital entrance, only a few minutes away!
At an intersection, I encountered a man pulling a flatbed cart ahead of him, followed by an old woman who was walking and cursing, but I couldn't hear her clearly.
Seeing this, I was about to walk in the opposite direction when I heard, "Comrade, could you tell me which way is the nearest hospital?"
Zhao Meizhi quickly said, "Go to this intersection, turn left, then right, then left again, and you'll get there!"
"Thanks, brother!"
As he spoke, he pulled the flatbed cart past the two of them. Zhao Meizhi thought to herself, "He's just asking for directions. What's there to worry about?"
Zhou Xiaoya never expected that she would run into her colleague here so soon after leaving the hospital entrance. She hurriedly went over to help push the gurney and then asked:
"Brother, what's going on here?"
"It's nothing, it's just having a baby."
The old woman has given birth to seven or eight children at home and nothing's happened to her. She's precious, and it's not like she's never had children before.
"That damned midwife even said the head is up and the legs are down! This woman has been giving birth all day and still hasn't succeeded, she insists on going to the hospital!" the old woman roared angrily.
"Auntie, it's safer to give birth in a hospital in this situation!" Zhou Xiaoya said.
"If it's your daughter, this old woman doesn't like to go to the hospital. It costs money, doesn't it? We country bumpkins don't have the money of you city people!"
"It's alright, it's alright. You all look so pitiful, so I'll consider this a good deed on my part. I'll pay your hospital fees today!"
"Oh my, I've met a living Buddha today!" Upon hearing this, the old lady realized that she wouldn't have to spend any money and would even have a chubby grandson. It seemed that this grandson was truly blessed.
Seeing Qian Xiaocui's pale face, Zhou Xiaoya was worried about her, fearing that she might not make it through this ordeal, since childbirth is dangerous.
"Don't let her die from complications during childbirth." Then, remembering what Zhao Meilan had said—that Liu Linjuan had just given birth last night and was still in the hospital—he quickly took her hand and subtly tapped it, saying:
Hospital, ward, pregnant woman, one, Liu Linjuan, military doctor, girl, man, Li Zilong, deputy regimental commander, front line, you, girl, can be replaced, boy, stay
And so the information about Liu Linjuan was passed on to Qian Xiaocui.
Qian Xiaocui couldn't care less about any of that right now. Not long after entering the hospital, she gave birth to a child with great difficulty, and upon hearing that it was a girl, she fell into a deep sleep.
After waking up, she remembered what Zhou Xiaoya had told her and wondered if she could have a chance to talk to her mother-in-law and ask to switch the children.
Another reason is that she knows her husband is honest and would never do such a thing, so she can only wait for an opportunity to talk to her mother-in-law.
She never expected that before she could find a suitable opportunity, her mother-in-law would make her move first, and she would be caught red-handed.
After reviewing the documents, Minister Chen and his team never expected things to turn out this way. It's safe to say that Qian Xiaocui had encountered some terrible teammates.
After seeing Zhou Xiaoya's account of Zhao Meilan's affairs, everyone present was at a loss for words.
"What are your thoughts on Zhou Xiaoya's confession regarding Zhao Meilan?"
But no one expected this situation. Political Commissar Ma spoke first:
"Regarding this matter, I think it's best to tell Comrade Liu Linjuan the truth. One should not have the heart to harm others, but one should not be without the heart to guard against others."
I agree.
I agree.
I agree.
We all agree.
“Alright, I’ll leave this to Lao Fang. She’s a woman, and she can talk to Liu Linjuan well.”
When Minister Chen returned home that evening, he recounted the matter concerning Zhao Meilan. After listening, Sister Fang immediately said:
"No wonder. I felt something was off about Zhao Meilan that day, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Turns out she's jealous of Xiao Liu! That explains it now."
"Who says otherwise? I'll go see Old Ding first thing tomorrow morning and talk to him about how Zhao Meilan has character issues, and see if we can transfer her away," Minister Chen said.
"Old Chen, you can't let Old Ding transfer people away. You should keep him under your command and train his men."
Another thing is to see if any enemies try to contact Zhao Meilan. We can't assume everything will be fine just because she was unharmed this time. We should keep a close eye on her and keep a close watch on her at all times.
"What you said makes sense!"
"Isn't she jealous of Xiao Liu? Then let her watch Xiao Liu every day, drive her crazy, and wait and see how Xiao Liu will surpass her in medical skills."
This person is inferior to Xiao Liu in medical skills, character, moral integrity, and even willpower.
Military doctors in military hospitals are also soldiers, part of the military. Not only must their medical skills be excellent, but they also need to hone their investigative techniques!
"You're right!"
"By the way, I found a nanny for Xiao Liu. Have someone check her out, just in case she's another enemy lurking in the shadows."
"Okay, tell me about this person. Tomorrow I'll send a few scouts to find out more about her and observe her for a few days."
"Okay, that's her."
"Okay, I understand."
Three days later, Sister Fang came to the courtyard where Liu Linjuan lived. Seeing that the door was open, she called out to Zhou Tao, who was washing his clothes, and said, "Xiao Zhou, didn't you go to work?"
"Sister Fang, what brings you here? I'm on the night shift today. These are the diapers my child changed yesterday. Please wash them quickly."
"Then I'll help you!!"
"No need, these are all we need!"
"It's okay, I'll help you wash, it'll be faster!"
"Did Sister Fang come over today because she has something to do?" Zhou Tao wondered. Sister Fang was usually so busy, why did she have something to do today?
"There's something I need to take care of. By the way, where's the child?"
"Going to quarantine for fun!"
"I was wondering why I didn't see many little ones!"
It didn't take long for the washing to finish.
Zhou Tao quickly said, "Big sister, come inside and warm yourself by the fire. I'll go close the door first."
"No need to rush, I don't feel it's that cold today?"
"Yes, spring should be approaching soon."
The two entered the house together, and Zhou Tao lifted the curtain and said, "Hey girl, look who's here?"
"Aunt Fang, what brings you here? Please come and sit down!"
"I came to see you, and I have something to tell you," said Sister Fang, placing the two bags of pastries she had brought on the table.
