Liu Chunhua leaned closer, pursing her lips, "Dr. Lin, don't be so kind. If you want to heal her leg, just let her go home as soon as possible!"

Seeing that Liu Chunhua had misunderstood her meaning, Lin Zhilan didn't explain. "If I really cured her, would she go back?"

"I don't think so," Liu Chunhua shook her head. "She's eating and drinking well here and doesn't have to do farm work. I don't think she'll leave easily. Besides, her two sons don't want to take her back either."

Lin Zhilan asked, "Didn't Political Commissar Zhuang say that she could leave once her leg was better?"

Liu Chunhua looked around and whispered, "Her leg isn't serious at all. The doctor said she can just rest at home. I suspect she's faking it and doesn't want to walk."

During the day, Liu Chunhua and her three children are not at home, and Ma Daniu also has to go to training, leaving the old lady alone at home.

Yesterday, Liu Chunhua suddenly came home a little early and saw Grandma Ma rummaging through things in the kitchen.

They've probably been able to walk on their own for a long time.

"Then why should I get treatment? She won't give me any money," Lin Zhilan said with a smile.

Liu Chunhua chuckled, "If you ask me, I'll ignore her. Since Ma Daniu said he'd give me 8 yuan, then I'll give him 8 yuan. I'll keep the money, and the rest is up to them."

Old Mrs. Ma often scolded her for being unfilial and a poisonous woman.

Liu Chunhua now finds being a "poisonous woman" quite enjoyable.

Lin Zhilan poured her a cup of tea. "So you're just going to live like this every day with the children?"

Every day, I take the children to eat in the cafeteria, and when I go back to sleep, I still have to listen to Grandma Ma scolding me.

Grandma Ma liked to swear, and she used very vulgar language.

Reaching this age, one has become somewhat lawless.

Lin Zhilan wanted her to leave early, firstly for Chunhua's sake, and secondly because she didn't want the children to hear such foul language.

Liu Chunhua said helplessly, "I really have no other choice."

"Sister Chunhua, I have a question for you." Lin Zhilan blinked and shook Liu Chunhua's hand.

"you say."

"You send money back to your hometown every month, have you sent the money this month?"

Liu Chunhua paused for a moment, then counted the days on her fingers. "Not yet, Ma Daniu hasn't received his salary. We send money every month after he gets paid."

Lin Zhilan's lips curled up slightly. "I heard from Commander Ma that this money is for his mother's retirement?"

"Yeah, they say it's retirement money, but I don't really know who's spending it," Liu Chunhua said, adding with a complaint.

His two younger brothers-in-law both built large red brick houses in the village, all thanks to Ma Daniu's "retirement" support.

Lin Zhilan said quietly, "Now that Aunt Ma is here with you, there's no need to send money back home, right?"

Liu Chunhua was taken aback.

His eyes widened, and suddenly he slapped his thigh. "You're right! They made it sound so nice before, saying we'd pay and they'd do the work. Now that his mother's here, right here with us, doesn't that mean we're paying and doing both? Why should we?!"

Aunt Lotus thought for a moment, "What if she still refuses to go back?"

Lin Zhilan laughed and said, "Auntie, think about it, if we stop sending money back home, will Sister Chunhua be more worried, or will Commander Ma's two younger brothers back home be more worried?"

Ma Daniu's two younger brothers live off the money Ma Daniu has given them.

Now that the money has dried up, who else is worried if not them?

If the old lady doesn't go back, they won't get the money.

At that time, Chunhua probably won't even need to send him off; his two younger brothers-in-law will have to come and pick him up.

The old lady loves her two youngest sons so much, she'll definitely have to go back with them.

The more Liu Chunhua thought about it, the better the idea seemed. She grabbed Lin Zhilan's hand and shook it vigorously. "Dr. Lin, how did you come up with such a bad idea?"

"My sister is just so smart," Wang Rou added abruptly.

Lin Zhilan: "..."

Thank you for the compliments.

Liu Chunhua patted her hand, "Wait here, after I see the old lady off, I'll cut you some pork belly to eat."

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly walked out.

Lin Zhilan turned around and continued her discussion with Wang Rou.

Just as Aunt Lotus was about to say something, she suddenly realized that she was also a mother-in-law.

Xu Yueyun, who was sitting next to me, was also my mother-in-law.

Are these two mothers-in-law listening to how their three daughters-in-law scheme against them?

……

"Little sister," Aunt Lotus comforted Xu Yueyun, while also comforting herself, "We're different from Commander Ma's mother. Doctor Lin and our Wang Rou would never treat us like this..."

That's it, I can't go on.

Xu Yueyun couldn't help but chuckle. "It's alright, we're not wicked mothers-in-law. Besides, it was Zhilan who strongly suggested that I come here, which at least proves that I'm not a bad mother-in-law, right?"

Aunt Lotus laughed heartily.

Suddenly, I realized that Xu Yueyun had a good personality, and our relationship quickly became much closer.

……

Lin Zhilan rested at home for a day and went to work the next day.

When Qin Qing and Lin Zijun saw her, it was as if they had seen their long-lost mother; they wanted nothing more than to hug her and cry.

"Master, if you don't come back soon, I'm going to take the train to the capital and kidnap him."

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Lin Zhilan glanced at the howling Lin Zijun, then looked at Qin Qing. "Were you very busy during the Lunar New Year holiday? Or did something happen?"

Qin Qing shook her head, following behind her expectantly. "Master, when you're not here, many patients come and leave. Mainly, we're both uneasy without you."

"If you don't feel confident, it means you haven't learned enough." Lin Zhilan rummaged through the pile of books and found two books about polio published by People's Medical Publishing House.

"We're transferring a patient with sequelae of polio to our department in the next few days. Take some time to read some books first."

"it is good."

As soon as Lin Zhilan arrived, the two young people were instantly motivated and took the book to start reading.

Ye Congshan smiled helplessly, "When you weren't around, the two of them acted like they'd lost their souls, all timid and hesitant."

"You still need to practice more," Lin Zhilan said.

She had taught students before and knew the common problems students had during this period.

It's not the mindset of a mature doctor, but rather the mindset of a student, like a chick that needs to follow its mother hen to feel safe.

However, seeing a doctor is a matter of life and death, and it cannot be taken lightly. It's good to be cautious.

It's better than someone who's all talk and no action.

It's still the first month of the lunar calendar, so there aren't many people coming to see the doctor.

Lin Zhilan only took on a few consultations; the rest of her time was spent in the department teaching her two apprentices.

Having two apprentices is quite good.

When practicing acupuncture, they can also needle each other.

While they were practicing, Lin Zhilan also picked up the manuscript she hadn't finished last year.

Lin Zhilan was engrossed in writing her manuscript at the table, so absorbed that she didn't even notice someone standing in front of her.

Seeing her stretch, Su Lang gently tapped her desk. "Dr. Lin, isn't it time to go home?"
