Accidentally entered a high gate

Section Chief Wu went to find Director Wang as soon as he left the hospital.

When Director Wang heard that he had arrived, he immediately invited him inside.

After he went inside, Director Wang poured him some water and asked, "Dr. Ma's nephew must have come to the wrong place?"

Section Chief Wu didn't answer the question, but looked into Director Wang's eyes and said, "Dr. Ma is awake. I inquired and found out that Dr. Ma woke up just before dawn."

Director Wang's hand froze instantly. "Dr. Ma is awake?"

"Hmm. But you can't move yet."

Director Wang: "..." It seems Dr. Ma's illness really is related to that person. "Have you seen Dr. Ma's nephew?"

"I saw him. But he's not Dr. Ma's nephew; he's Dr. Ma's younger brother, Chief Ma's youngest son."

"Chief Ma has a child born late in life. But I heard that Chief Ma's child is more delicate than a girl."

"He is indeed quite spoiled. I asked him if he had taken the wrong turn yesterday. He said no. He said he wanted to find a place to cry because he thought his older sister couldn't take it anymore."

Director Wang: "..." The morgue is indeed a good place to cry. "Is he afraid people will think he's not manly enough?"

"Probably. Young people are shy and don't believe in ghosts, so..."

"Hmm. You said Dr. Ma had no grudge against that person, so why would that person harm Dr. Ma?"

Section Chief Wu had also considered this issue. "I suspect he might be trying to blackmail Chief Ma."

"I think so too. What do you think, should we report it?"

In the past, Section Chief Wu would have definitely said, "Of course we should report it! That person actually tried to use sorcery to blackmail Chief Ma? Besides, the Ma family really rid the people of a scourge." Now… "I think we should just forget about it. Given the current situation…"

Director Wang also felt that reporting it might not be good for the Ma family. "Indeed. Besides, these are all just our speculations. After we've investigated everyone who has recently been in contact with him, let's find out who he's cheated in the past."

"Okay. Nine times out of ten, someone like him getting shot in the head is someone getting revenge after discovering he'd been tricked."

"Um."

The two of them discussed their plans and then went off to get busy.

Meanwhile, Ma Lilan's second daughter came to the hospital to take care of her mother after get off work, only to find that her mother had actually woken up!

Ma Lilan and He Shuyao have two daughters and one son.

The eldest daughter's name is He Huaici. She is already married.

The eldest son's name is He Huaiqian, and He Huaiqian is currently studying at the Military Medical University in Haishi.

The second daughter's name is He Huaijin, and she just started working this year.

He Huaijin could hardly believe her eyes! "Mother! You're awake?!"

"Mm." Ma Lilan smiled at He Huaijin.

He Huaijin's tears fell instantly.

He Huaijin rushed over and hugged Ma Lilan. "Mother, you scared me to death! Mother, when did you wake up?"

"Last night."

"That's great!" She was on duty last night. "Where's my dad?"

"Your father is busy figuring out how to make your mother as light and agile as before. Right now, your mother feels like she's made of lead."

"Okay, I forgive you... My goodness! Whose child is this?"

Little Bowl smiled at her. "From the Ma family."

Horse? "Are you Wanwan?!"

"Um."

"My goodness!" She had seen Wanwan yesterday. But Wanwan was dressed like a little beggar. She had also heard her mother say that her eldest aunt and second aunt both wanted to take Wanwan home. But her mother was still unconscious yesterday, and she wasn't in the mood for curiosity. "I'm your second cousin. Can your second cousin hold you?"

"able."

……

When Ma Lifeng returned from buying food, he saw his second niece clinging to his daughter, refusing to let go. "He Huaijin, are you here to take care of your mother? Or to appease Ma Yanlin?"

"Hehe... Third Uncle, how many days off did you take?"

"One week."

"Leave the bowls behind when you leave. My mother eats two more bowls of rice if she sees them. Right, Mom?"

"Yes." Ma Lilan nodded with a smile.

Ma Lifeng placed the food on the table. "That's impossible. When I leave, I'll take not only the dishes, but also your mother."

He Huaijin: "..." Was her third uncle teasing her? Or...? "Third Uncle, do you want to take my mother to the capital for medical treatment?"

"No. I want to take Wanwan and your mother to Mount Tai. Wanwan has never been to Mount Tai before. Your mother has been washing gauze for wounded soldiers since she was a teenager."

He Huaijin: "..." Her third uncle was still her third uncle. "Third uncle, my mother's illness is not yet cured."

"That's why your third uncle took your mother out to play. Once she got better, he was so busy he didn't even have time to eat."

He Huaijin: "..."

He Huaijin didn't know what to say. "Mom, do you know that my third uncle is taking you out to play?"

Ma Lilan looked at her and smiled, "Mother just found out too."

She knew it. "Mom, you're not going to go to Mount Tai with my third uncle... um... you're not going to go with my third uncle, are you?"

Just as Ma Lilan was about to say, "Of course not," Ma Lifeng said, "My brother-in-law and the others can't figure out how to get you back to your old self anytime soon. Instead of lying in the hospital, you might as well take advantage of your illness to see the beautiful landscapes of our motherland."

Ma Lilan and He Huaijin: "..." Do you want to hear what you're saying?

Little Bowl: "Yes!"

Ma Lilan and He Huaijin: "..." She had to tell her parents/grandparents that she couldn't let her third brother/uncle bring the bowls.

As soon as He Shuyao entered, he saw Ma Lilan and He Huaijin looking at Xiao Wanwan with worried expressions. "Why are you looking at Wanwan like that?"

He Huaijin recounted what had just happened.

He Huaijin thought her father would worry about Wanwan just like she and her mother. But after listening, her father actually said, "I think your third uncle is right."

He Huaijin: "..." Her father was also corrupted by her third uncle? "My mother's illness is not cured yet."

"There are sanatoriums in Taishan. It's better for your mother to stay in a sanatorium than in a hospital. I'll apply for one this afternoon."

He Huaijin: "..." Oh right! "Father, don't you know how to restore Mother to her former state?"

"Um."

In the afternoon, He Shuyao went to apply.

Because Ma Lilan is currently unable to take care of herself, He Shuyao also has to go with her. He Shuyao is both a doctor and Ma Lilan's husband.

The leader considered it for a while and then approved it.

This left He Huaijin alone at home. He Huaici worked in Heilongjiang Province, and He Huaiqian studied in Shanghai.

He Huaijin's workplace provides dormitory accommodation.

He Shuyao simply let her move there and asked her supervisor to keep an eye on things for him.

After settling He Huaijin in, He Shuyao set off with Ma Lilan, Ma Lifeng, Xiaowanwan, and Zhao Yonghong.

Upon arrival, Ma Lifeng planned to rest well first before carrying his older sister up the mountain.

After washing up, Ma Lifeng lay down on the bed with Xiaowanwan in his arms. "Daughter, let's review this incident."

Little Bowl glanced at him sideways. "Review what? Review how you shot him dead, and besides thinking he's crazy, he'd never let our family off the hook. He wants to make an example of us. And I'm that monkey?"
