1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 56 Being able to borrow it is a skill

Liu Chuxue glanced at the hospital bed by the door and whispered to her mother, "Did they compensate for the hospital bed by the door?"

Liu's mother looked up and glanced over there: "How can we not pay? He made that promise in front of so many people. Besides, they didn't ask for much; they only asked them to pay for the clothes."

Then she added, "That girl of hers is really unlucky. She lost almost fifty yuan just from a fall. Who could afford that?"

Liu Chuxue's lips curled into a strange smile: "Who sent the money?"

Thinking back to what had happened, Liu's mother was still shaken: "His wife and daughter came together. You were out running errands and didn't see it. After they took the compensation and left, he beat up the girl."

Although the girl was somewhat unlikable, it was truly pitiful that she had been beaten twice in such a short period of time. Luckily, her mother was there and stopped the man.

Liu Chuxue likes to settle scores on the spot. It was that girl who provoked her first, so she shouldn't blame her for taking action. Besides, she just wanted to teach her a small lesson. It's her bad luck that caused other trouble, so she deserves to be unlucky.

Knowing the outcome, I didn't continue the topic: "Mom, I'll stay at the hospital tonight. You go to the guesthouse to rest, and I'll catch up on my sleep tomorrow during the day."

Liu's mother was about to decline, but Liu's father said, "Listen to Chuxue. You didn't sleep well last night. If you don't get proper rest, your body won't be able to take it."

She spent the whole night worrying about whether today would go smoothly, and tossed and turned all night without getting any rest.

Since both father and daughter had said so, Liu's mother did not insist any further.

After giving her some instructions, Liu Chuxue took the person over.

When she returned, Liu Chuxue pushed in a wheelchair. She had promised the head nurse a fish in exchange for it, and the nurse had specially borrowed it from the VIP ward.

Of course, they probably did it out of respect for Vice President Sun.

Regardless, being able to borrow one is a skill in itself. Her arrival immediately drew the attention of everyone in the ward. The aunt next to her in bed asked curiously, "Girl, where did you get this wheelchair?"

"Auntie, I rented it from the nurses' station."

She didn't say she wanted to borrow it, otherwise everyone would try to borrow it, which would cause trouble for the head nurse.

The aunt looked disapproving: "You silly girl, you don't know the cost of living until you're in charge of the household. Why waste this money?"

She naturally knew Liu Chuxue's purpose in renting the wheelchair: "If you just call out, the families of the patients in the neighborhood can lend a hand."

Liu Chuxue knew that the other person meant well, so she did not refute it. She simply explained, "Auntie, my father will probably finish his IV drip late at night. Everyone is tired after a long day, and I would feel bad disturbing him. With this wheelchair, things will be different. My father and I can manage on our own."

Hearing this, everyone had an even better impression of Liu Chuxue.

Mr. Liu was a little embarrassed at this moment, regretting letting his wife leave. After all, his daughter was a girl, and it would be inconvenient if he needed to go to the toilet.

Liu Chuxue could tell what her adoptive father was thinking just by looking at his expression: "Dad, don't worry, I can take good care of you. Have you forgotten how strong I am?"

Thinking of his second daughter's strength, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

As expected, her decision was correct; Liu's father's IV drip didn't stop until after midnight.

After seeing the nurse off, I noticed that Mr. Liu's expression was off: "Dad, do you need to go to the bathroom?"

Mr. Liu had actually wanted to go for a long time, but he was embarrassed and it would be too much trouble since he was on an IV drip, so he kept holding back.
