Chapter 56: Being Able to Borrow It Is Skill
Liu Chuxue glanced at the hospital bed by the door and asked her mother in a low voice, "Did the bed by the door pay up?"
Her mother looked up at that side, "How could they not pay? He made such a big boast in front of so many people; besides, they didn't ask for much, only made them pay for that suit of clothes."
Afterwards, she added, "That daughter of hers is truly unlucky; a single fall cost nearly fifty yuan, who could stand that in any family?"
A strange smile curled Liu Chuxue's lips, "Who brought the money?"
Her mother, recalling what had happened earlier, still felt a lingering fear, "His wife and daughter brought it together; you were out on business so you didn't see. After they took the compensation money and left, he beat that daughter again."
"That Miss, though somewhat unlikable, was beaten twice in such a short time, which really makes one feel a bit sorry; luckily her mother was there and stopped that man."
Liu Chuxue is the type who settles scores on the spot; since that girl provoked her first without cause, don't blame her for striking back; besides, she only wanted to teach her a small lesson; who knew the girl had bad luck and stirred up other trouble, that's just her own misfortune.
Knowing the outcome, she dropped the topic, "Mom, I'll keep watch at the hospital tonight; you go rest at the guesthouse, and I'll make up my sleep tomorrow during the day."
Her mother was about to decline, but her father spoke up, "Listen to Liu Chuxue; you didn't sleep well last night; if you don't rest properly, your body can't take it."
Last night she worried all evening about whether today would go smoothly, tossing and turning, getting no rest at all.
Since both father and daughter said so, her mother didn't insist any further.
After a round of instructions, Liu Chuxue escorted them over.
When she returned, Liu Chuxue pushed a wheelchair in; this was borrowed from the high-class ward by a nurse in exchange for a fish she promised the head nurse.
Of course, they probably did it out of respect for Vice Dean Sun.
Regardless, being able to borrow it is skill.
As soon as she entered, she drew everyone's attention in the ward; the auntie next to their bed asked curiously, "Girl, where did you get that wheelchair?"
"Auntie, I rented it from the nursing station."
She didn't say borrowed; otherwise, if everyone went to borrow, it would only trouble the head nurse.
That auntie wore a disapproving look, "You girl, you don't know the value of firewood and rice until you run a household; why spend that money?"
She naturally knew Liu Chuxue's purpose in renting the wheelchair, "If you call out, the families of the neighboring patients could all lend a hand."
Liu Chuxue knew the person meant well, so she didn't argue, only explained, "Auntie, my father won't finish his IV until the middle of the night; everyone is tired after a day's work; how could I disturb them then? With this wheelchair, it's different; my father and I can handle it ourselves."
Hearing this, everyone's impression of Liu Chuxue improved.
Her father felt a bit awkward now, regretting letting his wife leave; after all, his daughter is a girl; if he needed to use the toilet, it would indeed be inconvenient.
Liu Chuxue saw his expression and knew what this cheap father was thinking, "Dad, don't worry; I can take care of you; did you forget how strong I am?"
Thinking of his second daughter's strength, he felt slightly relieved.
Indeed, her decision was right; her father's IV ran until past midnight.
After seeing the nurse off, she saw her father's expression was off, "Dad, do you need to use the toilet?"
Her father actually wanted to go long ago, but out of embarrassment, plus the IV still running, it was too troublesome, so he kept holding it in.
