night falls

Chapter 60 Hearing the sound at night 59
Another day passed by.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the day before the Lantern Festival, it was the third group activity of the Social Work Department.

After setting up the activity room, Ruan Hong, Liu Futian and He Zhendong had already arrived, but Zheng Huanlan was nowhere to be seen after the start time of the activity.

I didn't receive any notification that Zheng Huanlan needed surgery today.Jiang Gai glanced at her watch, feeling uneasy and suggested: "Sister Jiajia, I'm going to pick up Aunt Zheng from the cardiac surgery department. You guys can start first."

After hearing this, Wang Jiajia pondered for a long time, called Liao Yuhan and said, "Please accompany Jiang Jie."

Liao Yuhan agreed, and the two of them hurried to the cardiac surgery department.

When I arrived at the department floor, I ran into Xia Mian who was coming out of the nurse's station. The latter saw Jiang Jie, and his eyes were slightly surprised: "Huh Jiezi? Are you here to see Shi Qing? Didn't the social work department do any group activities today?"

"Yes." Jiang Gai glanced around the corridor of the ward and asked, "Did Aunt Zheng have any treatment today?"

Xia Mian: "Are you talking about Zheng Huanlan?"

Jiang Gai nodded: "Yes."

"No." Xia Mian said, "She had already finished taking the medicine at noon, or I collected the medicine for her. Why, she didn't go to the group activity?"

Liao Yuhan responded: "Yes, so let's take a look."

Having said that, Xia Mian turned around and walked towards Zheng Huanlan's ward, saying as she walked, "You mentioned it, I haven't seen her come out this afternoon."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young nurse just walked out of the front ward, frowning and looking unhappy.Xia Mian saw her, grabbed her and asked, "What's wrong?"

The young nurse angrily said: "Zheng Huanlan's son is here and making so much noise in the ward that the patient cannot have a good rest."

Hearing this, Liao Yuhan and Jiang Gai were both stunned.

Jiang Gai immediately remembered what Zheng Huanlan said about her son who was a bad gambler: "Sister Xia Mian, let's go in and take a look."

Zheng Huanlan was hospitalized for more than a month, and her son came here two or three times. Xia Mian knew exactly what kind of bastard he was. She tugged at Jiang Jie, feeling a little worried, and reminded: "You two, be careful, don't conflict with him."

Jiang Jie patted her hand: "Yeah, I know."

There was a knock on the ward door. Jiang Gai pushed it open and went in. He looked up and saw a man leaning on the bed next to the door, playing with his mobile phone.

Normal height, epiphyseal back, wearing a white denim jacket, untrimmed hair, parted on the pinnae, and sunken down.The cheekbones are high, the cheeks are thin and sunken, and the eyes are dark blue, and the whole person looks old and slovenly.

When Liao Yuhan came in, Jiang Ai walked to the door without changing his expression, and softly called Zheng Huanlan who was lying on the bed: "Aunt Zheng."

Hearing the sound, Zheng Huanlan raised her head from the pillow, and the man followed the sound and looked over.

Jiang Gai ignored him and smiled at Zheng Huanlan: "There are activities in the group today. We will pick you up."

Zheng Huanlan opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, the man at the end of the bed raised his lips and smiled, showing his yellow teeth: "Little sister, my mother doesn't have time to go to that damn activity today, I'm here to accompany you."

Zheng Huanlan shouted at him: "Shut up!"

Then, Zheng Huanlan looked at Jiang Jie, smiled, and said, "Jiang Jie Yuhan, you guys go outside and wait for me for a while. I'll clean up and come back."

Hearing the sound, Jiang Gai glanced at the man, hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Okay, we are at the door. If you are ready, just call us!"

Zheng Huanlan nodded in agreement.

Jiang Gai and Liao Yuhan opened the door and went out. The latter sighed: "I guess Aunt Zheng's son is here to ask for money again."

Jiang Gai frowned in deep thought and remained silent.

Liao Yuhan looked inside the ward, paused, and then said, "Jiezi, I need to go to the toilet."

Jiang Jie: "Okay."

……

Not long after Liao Yuhan left, Jiang Gai was about to take her mobile phone to send a WeChat message to Wang Jiajia when there was a sudden "pop" in the ward, and a crisp cracking sound came from the ward.

Jiang Gai's heart thumped, and the next second he turned around and strode open the door and rushed in.

The kettle and glass water glass on the bedside table were thrown to the ground, and the glass shattered all over the floor. Zheng Huanlan, who was originally lying on the bed, sat on the floor, panicking and pulling at the man's clothes, crying heartbreakingly: "Give it back." Me, give it back to me, son, mom really has no money, mom hasn’t had the surgery yet, mom really has no money!”

The man twisted his body twice, trying to break away from Zheng Huanlan's hand holding his clothes, but Zheng Huanlan held on tightly and couldn't get away. The man became angry and growled angrily: "Let go!"

Zheng Huanlan didn't dare to let go for a moment. She grabbed his clothes so hard that she turned blue. Her voice trembled as she cried: "Please, stop gambling, don't gamble anymore! Mom still needs surgery, and she still needs to stay in hospital." Money is needed for surgery. If I don’t do surgery, my mother will die, son!”

Hysterical cries kept ringing in Jiang Gai's ears, and the last trace of the man's patience was worn away. He raised his hand and grabbed Zheng Huanlan's wrist bone, pulled it apart fiercely, and pushed her back without mercy, with a fierce look in his eyes. : "Then you just fucking die."

The gloomy voice had no ups and downs, and even revealed a hint of disgust.

Jiang Gai was completely stunned. This was the first time she had seen such a scene.

How ugly and vicious is this person's heart to be able to say such things to his biological mother without changing his expression?
The other patients in the ward were watching with fear, fearing that it would harm them, so they all shrank to the window sill.

The noisy movement was a bit loud, and the nurses at the nursing station were attracted one after another.Jiang Gai looked at the wrinkled passbook in his hand, and without a moment's hesitation in his mind, he stepped forward and snatched it away.

The man was startled for a moment. When he saw that the bankbook he had managed to get was suddenly gone, he glared at Jiang Gai and said with a warning: "Bring it here."

Jiang Gai hid behind her and looked up at him without fear: "This belongs to Aunt Zheng. You have no right to take it away without her consent!"

The man laughed angrily, pushed his back molar, and took a step forward: "Girl, are you okay with your mind? Why can't I take my fucking things?"

Jiang Gai became more and more indignant: "Have you ever considered Aunt Zheng your mother? Have you raised her? Have you taken care of her since she became ill?"

The man spat, impatient to talk nonsense with her, and sneered: "It's none of your business?"

"Then this passbook will not belong to you!"

After finishing her words, Jiang Gai turned around to leave. The man suddenly reached out and grabbed her ponytail, pulled her back mercilessly, and said in a sinister voice: "Die Sanba, will you take it?"

When the nurse at the door saw this scene, she immediately panicked. After being stunned for a few seconds, she hurried back to call for help.

Jiang Gai raised her hand to grab him. His hair was pulled by him so that he could not straighten his waist, but his tone was still tough: "You're dreaming, you idiot!"

The man got angry and pushed her against the wall with all his strength.

Jiang Gai was caught off guard, lost his balance, and hit the white wall heavily with the back of his head.

A loud "boom" made everyone present startled.

A confused feeling of dizziness came over him instantly. Jiang Gai's eyes blurred for a moment, and he raised his hand to touch the back of his head, feeling a little weak for a moment.

Wen Shiqing and Xia Mian rushed over together. As soon as they arrived at the door of the ward, they saw the mess inside the room.Wen Shiqing's eyebrows twitched as he felt something bad, and he hurriedly stepped in. When his eyes fell on Jiang Ji who fell to the ground, his eyes suddenly sank.

My heart was pinched hard.

Wen Shiqing quickly went over and squatted down to hug her, his voice a little unsteady: "Jiang Jie!"

Xia Mian also hurried over to help Zheng Huanlan who was sitting on the ground.

Jiang Gai half-opened her eyes and suddenly began to feel pain, and her words were a little erratic: "Wen Shiqing..."

Wen Shiqing glanced up and down her body, checking for any wounds: "Where is the injury?"

Jiang Jie: "He's dizzy..."

When Liao Yuhan came out of the bathroom, he vaguely heard a commotion coming from here. He hurried over and saw this scene. His face suddenly turned pale and he was stunned.

The man accidentally injured Jiang Jie, and his mind was in a trance for a moment, but he realized it later and wanted to run away.

Liao Yuhan quickly grabbed him with quick eyes and hands, shouting: "Don't run away! You hit someone and still want to run away!"

Other male doctors in the department happened to rush over. When they heard the call, they helped to hold him tightly and prepared to call the police.

Wen Shiqing carefully picked up Jiang Ji. When he walked to the door, he paused for a moment and raised his eyes to look at Zheng Huanlan's son. His eyes were like sharp knives, with a gloomy and cold edge. There was something in his voice when he spoke. An angry threat——

"If my wife makes any mistake, I will definitely pursue it to the end."

……

-

The police took away Zheng Huanlan's son.

Jiang Jie was hit on the back of his head, causing a slight concussion. A CT scan found no abnormalities in his brain. However, in order to avoid future problems, he needs to stay in the hospital for observation and will be examined again tomorrow.

Zheng Huanlan suffered a heart attack due to the farce in the afternoon and entered the operating room early.After several hours of rescue, the condition was relieved.

After getting off the operating table, Wen Shiqing hurried to the neurosurgery department.

On the way, Jiang Zhiyan called.

After the incident happened, Wen Shiqing contacted Jiang Zhiyan immediately and entrusted him with full authority to handle it.

Jiang Zhiyan briefly talked to him about the current situation and asked him: "The police asked you if you want to reconcile privately."

Wen Shiqing kept walking without a moment's hesitation: "If you don't reconcile, sue."

Jiang Zhiyan: "I understand."

……

The phone was hung up and the elevator just arrived at the floor.Wen Shiqing put away her cell phone and went to the ward.

In the evening, dusk is getting darker.There was only one fluorescent lamp on in the ward. Jiang Gai was wearing hospital clothes and lying on the bed, her face looking a little pale as she slept soundly.

He went over and closed the bed curtain.

She was working the night shift tonight and couldn't stay with her all the time. Wen Shiqing could only take advantage of dinner time to come and see her.

Jiang Gai slept for an hour. When she woke up and saw Wen Shiqing sitting beside the bed, she immediately grinned: "Are you here?"

Wen Shiqing said "hmm" and saw that she was about to get up, so he quickly stood up and put a pillow on her.

Jiang Gai thought of Zheng Huanlan, her expression changed, and she quickly asked: "By the way, Aunt Zheng..."

"The operation has been completed. It's fine. Don't worry." He said.

Only then did Jiang Gai feel at ease: "That's good, that's good."

"Ah, and..." she said urgently, "you didn't tell my uncle, did you?"

He just got off the operating table and before he could make a call: "No."

"Don't tell him. If he finds out, he will definitely settle the score with that person and it will affect his work."

Wen Shiqing's voice was calm: "Yes, I know."

He sat there with a face as sharp as a knife and an axe, his thin lips were tightly pressed, and his expression was solemn.

Seeing this, Jiang Gai stretched out his hand to shake him: "What's wrong with you?"

Wen Shiqing was silent for a while, then stood up and sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out his arms to hug her, and said with guilt in his tone: "I'm sorry."

Jiang Gai rubbed his ear with her side face and raised her voice: "Why are you apologizing? This was an accident and has nothing to do with you."

Hearing this, Wen Shiqing's hand tightened his grip, feeling helpless: "Can you not be so brave in the future?"

Jiang Ji didn't understand: "Huh?"

"This time it was a mild concussion...what about next time?"

He didn't dare to think about what it would be next time.He just held her and sighed.

Jiang Jie pursed her lips and muttered: "I didn't think about that much at the time..."

"Then think more about it from now on." He interrupted her, with a pleading tone, "Just think about me, okay?"

Jiang Gai stood up, looked at him and nodded solemnly: "Okay."

The two hugged each other quietly for a long time, and Jiang Gai suddenly remembered what Wen Shiqing said to the man when he was injured.Although she was not very clear at that time, she could hear the word "Mrs." clearly.

Her mood instantly rose several points. She put her arms around Wen Shiqing's waist and rested her chin on his shoulder. Her voice was thin and a little shy: "Did you tell people this afternoon that I am your wife?"

Wen Shiqing: "Yes."

Jiang Gai secretly grinned wider, and when he didn't see it, she pretended to be embarrassed and patted him: "Why are you talking nonsense! I haven't married you yet!"

Wen Shiqing glanced at her indifferently: "It will happen sooner or later."

"Then my father, mother, and uncle don't agree!"

His expression remained unchanged: "I can call Fang Yu now."

Jiang Jie was silent for a second: "...pretend I didn't say anything."

……

After Wen Shiqing left, Jiang Ai called Fang Yu and lied: "Uncle, my roommate is back today. I went back to the dormitory to sleep at night. I will go over and pack my luggage tomorrow."

Fang Yu said "tsk": "Why don't you be in such a hurry and go back to the dormitory without even packing your luggage?"

"Oops." Jiang Gai casually said, "We haven't seen each other for so long. We plan to have a meal, sing a karaoke, and then go to a sauna!"

"Hey! You will enjoy it." Fang Yu didn't think much.

Jiang Jie: "Hehe, it's okay, okay. I won't tell you any more. We are going to take the subway. It's inconvenient to hold a mobile phone when there are so many people."

Fang Yu: "Okay, pay attention to your safety, and call if you need anything."

"okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Jie breathed a sigh of relief.

Let's say her uncle is smart and clever, but sometimes he can be easily fooled...

Then, she opened Shen Beihan's private chat window on WeChat and asked her what time the ticket would be back the day after tomorrow.

The latter replied quickly: [Arrived at the station at two o'clock in the afternoon!What’s up! ]
[Xiaoyu Xiancao: It’s okay. I’ll pick you up then, and then we can have hotpot together? ]

[A Chen: OK!I've been back for so long and I haven't even had a chance to eat hot pot! ]

[Xiaoyu Xiancao: Yeah, let’s get in touch then! ]

[A Chen: Oh! ]

……

Except for the people in the hospital, Jiang Jie didn't tell anyone about the injury, including Jiao Yan.After Wang Jiajia and the others learned about what happened in the afternoon from Liao Yuhan, they all sent WeChat messages saying they would come to see her after the event.Jiang Gai felt that it was making a fuss, so she politely refused, and repeatedly emphasized that she was strong and had no problems and would be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, so they gave up on it.

But in the end, Wang Jiajia and Liao Yuhan came over and brought her some hot porridge and fruits. They also said that You Zijian and Lin Ye didn't dare to come over because they were afraid of disturbing her rest. These fruits represented their feelings.

Jiang Jie expressed her gratitude again and again.

The two didn't stay long. In order to let her rest more, they left after saying a few words.
