Chapter 85

For the next few days, they didn't check out of the guesthouse room, and the mother and daughter took turns resting there.

Although Mother Liu still felt a hidden pain in her heart about spending money to stay at the guesthouse, always feeling that this money could have been saved, she couldn't resist her daughter's persistence, and it wasn't easy for her to say more. After all, her daughter was doing it so she could rest well.

Every day, Chuxue would go out for half a day to supply fifty or sixty jin of fish to the hospital canteen. These days, she had also become a familiar face to the people in the canteen.

The meals for their family of three had also improved by several grades these past few days.

At first, Father Liu and Mother Liu would nag a few times, but Chuxue would agree to their faces and then continue to do as she pleased next time. Later, they just let her be. Their daughter had good intentions, and they couldn't be ungrateful and chill their daughter's heart.

Just like that, they stayed in the hospital for two weeks and were finally able to be discharged.

During this period, Chuxue got along well with the doctors and nurses on this floor, as well as the canteen staff.

And so, today was the last delivery of fish.

Director Zhang said with a look of regret: "Little Liu, do you want to stay? Even if you can't get a formal position, being an external procurement staff member wouldn't be bad. This income is something even the director can't keep up with. How about it, do you want to consider it?"

These days, it wasn't that no one envied Chuxue's income. Some people ran to the moat on their days off, but those with good luck could catch one or two, and those with bad luck would squat for a day without even seeing a fish scale.

So, envy was envy, but they also knew this wasn't something everyone could do. They had also seen it: this girl was naturally destined to be with underwater creatures.

It wasn't that Director Zhang and the others hadn't followed her; even when fishing in the nests she had already baited, they didn't see any improvement, so they were completely convinced.

Because Chuxue supplied quality and quantity every day, Director Zhang had received many commendations recently, and he truly wanted to keep her.

Chuxue knew that although this was mixed with interests, they were indeed well-intentioned: "Director Zhang, I'm still in school. I originally asked for leave to accompany my dad to treat his leg. Thank you for your kindness, but it's really not possible right now."

Director Zhang helped unload the fish: "Alright then, if you go fishing in the future, don't forget our canteen."

Chuxue smiled and readily agreed: "Okay, I'll definitely come by then."

Chef Hao came out and saw the fish in the bucket: "Yo, Little Liu, you are the best."

He gave Chuxue a thumbs up.

Chuxue had deliberately prepared a little more; after all, everyone had been very good to her during this time: "Let's still weigh out sixty jin. The rest is a little token of my appreciation. I'll trouble Uncle Hao to cook it and distribute it to everyone. Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

For a moment, everyone was filled with emotion. No one expected that the little girl would be so generous even when she was about to leave, making these grown men feel ashamed of themselves.

Chuxue naturally had her own thoughts; after all, these people were all networking resources. Besides, she wasn't lying; she was indeed very grateful for their care.

Early the next morning, Chuxue successfully completed the discharge procedures.

Dr. Jiang and the Head Nurse specifically came over to give them a lot of instructions, which moved the Liu family of three for a long time.

As soon as they walked out of the building, Chef Hao had even arranged for someone to use a tricycle to give them a ride.

Look, who said she was stupid? The fish she gave yesterday had an immediate return.

When they came, they only brought two bundles, but when they went back, it was different; they were replaced by two small sacks.

After a bumpy journey, they returned to the commune. They were lucky and happened to run into Old Quan from the village driving an ox cart back to the village, so they hitched a ride: "Shanliang, how is your leg treatment going?"
