Chapter 61: She Did Not Want to Be Treated Like a Monkey on Display
After checking that the person on the ground had merely fainted and was unharmed, the public security officer began to question the parties involved about what had happened.
After making a statement at the public security station, Seeing Liu Chuxue returned directly to the ward, feeling quite regretful about the broken coarse porcelain bowl.
Liu's mother had not witnessed her daughter's feat and kept asking, "Where were you just now? In the future, you must stay far away when you see such things."
"I know."
After the nagging finished, she noticed that Chuxue was holding only one bowl: "Where is the bowl?"
As soon as she asked, she saw the family of the patient in the next bed rush over: "Big sister, your daughter is truly amazing; if she hadn't reacted fast enough, that child might have truly lost his life."
Liu's mother was confused: "What do you mean?"
The woman gestured wildly as she recounted what had just happened: "Your daughter is truly fierce, but to be fair, if her aim had been even slightly off, the consequences would be unthinkable."
As she was speaking, Deputy Factory Director Gu entered with his daughter-in-law and little grandson; "Miss, thank you so much today; if you hadn't stepped in with such righteousness, my grandson's life might not have been safe."
The child's mother grabbed her son and was about to kneel before Seeing Liu Chuxue, frightening the Liu mother and daughter into rushing to help her up: "This must not be done."
Deputy Factory Director Gu's daughter-in-law, with red-rimmed eyes, pulled her son forward: "Qianshan, say thank you to big sister quickly."
Although Liu's mother was still a bit dazed, she understood now; the huge commotion outside just now was because this child had been kidnapped, and at the critical moment, her own daughter had saved him.
Deputy Factory Director Gu was still carrying many gifts, which he placed directly in front of Liu's father's hospital bed: "Thank you so much; if it weren't for your daughter, our family's sky might have collapsed."
Liu's father, not good with words, said: "Please don't say that; as long as the child is fine, that is all that matters."
His heart was now full of fear; if that bowl had not hit the villain, and the man had turned to deal with a young lady like her, what would have happened?
After the Gu family had thanked them profusely, they said: "Today was too rushed; once our family matters are settled, we will definitely come to express our gratitude properly another day."
Chuxue quickly waved her hands and said: "We have already received your good intentions; there is truly no need for such a grand effort; the child was frightened today, so let's take care of the child first."
After much persuasion, they finally saw them off.
From the neighbor auntie, they learned that the patient in the next ward was Deputy Factory Director Gu's father; his daughter-in-law had brought the child over early this morning to deliver breakfast to the elder, not expecting such a thing to happen.
After the Gu family left, people outside the ward frequently peered inside.
This made Chuxue somewhat impatient: "Mom, I have the industrial coupons I got yesterday; the bowl was smashed by me, so I am going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a lunch box."
Liu's mother was still shaken, but she did not dare to stop her: "Go early and return early; if you encounter anything outside, you must stay far away."
Hearing this, Chuxue laughed directly: "Don't scare yourself; how could it be so coincidental that I would run into trouble again?"
After speaking, she quickly slipped away; there was simply no break in the people outside the ward, and she did not want to be treated like a monkey on display.
First, she went to the nurse's station to ask about Liu's father's condition; after all, her mother had said yesterday, and the nurse said that fees would probably still need to be paid in the next day or two.
Afterwards, she prepared to leave the hospital to spend the coupons she had; after all, even if the items bought were not needed here, they could be used back in the village.
It was just that she did not expect that, as soon as she left the hospital, she heard a familiar voice: "Xiao Ru, don't be afraid; if we truly have one, we will keep it; I will make my family cancel the engagement as soon as possible, and then marry you with great fanfare."
