The couple both struggled in Rakshasa City when they were young, and they happened to catch the right time to buy a property in Changning before the housing prices skyrocketed.
Even though it was an old neighborhood and the usable area was only dozens of square meters, its location was advantageous, making it very convenient for school and other activities.
After leaving Rakshasa City, this house had been in a rental state, bringing in about a hundred thousand in rent each year.
When Lin Mo had moved out from her family home, Li Jinwen had repeatedly suggested she live with her parents, arguing that she could just pay them normal rent, but Lin Mo had always refused.
Better to starve than farm your father-in-law’s land; better to die than enter the radish garden.
Her in-laws had never thought much of her in the first place; if Lin Mo had really moved in, not to mention anything else, Lin Xiaoxiao would first have to be renamed Li Xiaoxiao.
“Then what do we do! I have no objections!”
Zhao Huixian had only one daughter, and she was also getting on in years; she no longer took these matters too seriously. Before, she had simply disapproved of her son-in-law and wanted her daughter to know to back out, which was why she hadn’t given them the house.
But on this trip to Rakshasa City, she had greatly changed her opinion of Lin
Mo.
Making money was certainly one aspect, but more importantly, the child was very filial and also treated his wife and child very well.
They were getting older, and in the future, they would have to rely on this son-in-law for support.
After a brief argument,
Zhao Huixian seemed to think of something and asked out loud, “By the way, Miao, how did it go with the thing you mentioned yesterday?”
“Whether or not we stay in the special care ward is one thing, but most importantly, we need to find a better doctor.”
“I checked online yesterday, and that doctor from yesterday is over 40 and still a medical practitioner, not even a deputy head of the department-how good can his medical skills be?”
“It’s best to find a specialist; we are not afraid to spend money, and if we need to give gifts or something, I can pay for that!”
As the matter was brought up, Liu Miao, who was driving, had a slight change in his expression.
Before he could speak, Li Lingling rushed to speak first, “Auntie, it’s really not that Liu Miao doesn’t want to help this time; it’s just too difficult to manage.
“He had been calling constantly since he got home yesterday, until after one o’clock in the morning, contacting any friend he could and asking everyone he could.”
“Even this morning when he came to pick you up, he was still making continuous calls.”
“It won’t work!”
Liu Miao sighed and said, “Auntie, Uncle, I asked very clearly yesterday, it really won’t work!”
“All, Rakshasa City is not like our hometown, those small cities. Elites from all over the country and even the world gather here-we are merely ants among ants. And 1 advise you, if anyone says they can guarantee a spot in a special care ward, they are definitely trying to scam money from you, please don’t be fooled.”
It’s not difficult to give gifts these days; the difficulty is in not having a strong enough relationship to even give a gift.
in desperation, people tend to grasp at straws and often get deceived. Liu Miao, after all, was in business, and he was especially wary of this area.
Li Jinshan and Zhao Huixian nodded upon hearing this and said no more. They, too, were well aware of how tense medical resources were in Rakshasa City. They were simply treating a dead horse as if it were alive, trying their best because they had to hold onto any sliver of hope.
The car became quiet once again.
The four of them were all frowning, pondering their own problems.
About half an hour later, the car entered the gates of North City’s First City Hospital. After searching for a parking spot for about fifteen minutes, they finally got out of the car.
Liu Miao looked around at the densely parked cars and said impatiently, “Damn it, even finding a parking spot in a big hospital is such a hassle; it would’ve saved time to just take a taxi.”
Li Lingling, knowing her husband cared about his image and was certainly upset that things hadn’t gone well, tried to comfort him by saying, “Let it go, husband. Getting angry is bad for your health. As long as we are healthy and avoid the hospital, we won’t have to deal with this frustration.”
Li Jinshan and Zhao Huixian both sighed deeply and headed straight toward the inpatient department.
About ten minutes later, they arrived at the hospital room where Zhang Li and Lin Siyu had been the day before. But when they pushed the door open and went inside, they found two people they didn’t recognize lying there.
The family members of the patients inside were also taken aback and after a few seconds, puzzled, they asked, “Who are you looking for?”
Huh?
Li Jinshan stepped back two paces and looked at the label on the door again, confused, he said, “There’s no mistake, right? Bed 49, Bed 50.” Zhao Huixian frowned and asked, “Could you have remembered it wrong? Is it the room next door?”
Li Lingling also shook her head and said, “No mistake, I also remember it was Beds 49 and 50.”
Liu Miao took a couple of steps forward, turned to the patients’ family members, and asked politely, “Excuse me, when did you move in?” “The second half of last night, why?” the patient’s relative suspiciously replied.
The second half of last night?
Could it really be a case of mistaken memory?
“It’s nothing, we probably got the wrong room.”
“Uncle, let’s step out so as not to disturb others rest.
Led by Liu Miao, everyone withdrew from the room. They glanced through the small glass window at the other two rooms opposite, only to discover that these too were full of strangers.
At that moment,
a young nurse came over and, seeing them, asked, “Who are you looking for?” Li Jinshan quickly said, “We’re looking for the patients who were admitted yesterday into Beds 49 and 50, named Lin Siyu and Zhang Li. Where are they?” Lin Siyu? Zhang Li?
After thinking for a moment, the nurse replied, “They’ve been transferred to another hospital, they aren’t here anymore.”
What??
Transferred?
What’s going on now?
“Uncle, Auntie, don’t panic. I’ll call Lin Mo to see what’s happening,” Li Lingling said.
Li Lingling took out her cell phone, found Lin Mo’s number, and dialed it. Having been up all night, Lin Mo, who had just dozed off not long ago, was jolted awake by the vibrating phone.
He shook his groggy head, and upon seeing that the call was from Li Lingling, didn’t think much of it and answered the phone.
“Hello, brother-in-law, why were you transferred? Which hospital did you move to?”
Li Lingling’s voice, full of surprise, came through the phone.
Lin Mo rubbed his temples and said in a lowered voice, “We haven’t been transferred. Where are you? I’ll send someone to pick you up.” “Haven’t been transferred? But the nurse just said…” Li Lingling’s mind was now filled with questions. She intended to ask everything directly, but realized that a brief exchange wouldn’t make things clear, so it might be better to talk face-to-face.
With this in mind, she didn’t continue to inquire further but instead said, -We’re on the 8th floor of the inpatient department, right outside the room where Siyu stayed yesterday.”
“Got it. Wait there, I’ll have someone come and get you,” Lin Mo said as he pressed the call bell by his bed.
Ding-ling-ling…
The crisp sound of the waiting tone rang out, and within two or three seconds, Head Nurse Xu’s voice came through: “Mr. Lin, how can I assist you?
Lin Mo, speaking in a low voice, said, “My family is over at the inpatient department.. Could you please go and fetch them?”
