She stayed with Han Dong to finish seeing the doctor, then asked the doctor for bandaging. At first, Han Dong was very happy, but later her attitude became very cold. She handed him the receipt and turned to leave.
Han Dong hurriedly stopped her, "Wait, why are you leaving me like this again? You're the caretaker, take care of me!"
"You don't need to be hospitalized."
"No, I'm not feeling well, I still need to be hospitalized." But having such an opportunity to get close to Sun Chan, how could Han Dong let it slip by?
Han Dong immediately went through the hospitalization procedures and asked Sun Chan to take care of him.
Sun Chan looked at him somewhat speechlessly, Han Dong smiled and patted her shoulder, "Don't feel pressured, treat me the same as you treat others. No need to be particularly nice."
"I won't be nice to you."
"Sun Chan, you were clearly concerned about me just now!"
Sun Chan sighed, "Because I've realized that I'm too easily moved." She walked into the corridor.
The fruits, thinking of the suffering she once endured, Han Dong merely gave her some fruits, and her heart softened. Perhaps it was because she longed too much for human concern.
She finished paying for Han Dong, suddenly remembering a woman from a past life in the village. She willingly married a scoundrel, did all the chores outside the house throughout her life, and when she was hard to deliver her fourth child, her husband refused to pay to send her to the hospital, and she died from massive bleeding on the earthen bed.
Sun Chan once asked her why she married that man, "You're not me. Your parents are still alive, you have options."
The woman reminisced with a face full of happiness, "My parents only liked my younger siblings, no one ever cared about me, only he treated me well."
And what he called treating her well was just once when she was doing laundry under the scorching sun, he came with a fan in hand and fanned her a few times.
"Such hot weather, you're working hard."
Just that one gesture, and she felt this person was concerned about her.
Sun Chan shared this story with Han Dong, "I feel like my feelings are similar, thinking I'm quite pitiful. If you continue like this, maybe you can truly move me. After all, no one has been kind to me since I was a child."
The sunlight from the window shone in, her skin almost transparently white, her pink ears, and eyes with tears made Han Dong a bit flustered.
"I don't think you really want to use a few fruits to trap me for life, goodbye." She said and was about to leave.
But Han Dong resolutely refused, spreading his arms to block her way, "Sun Chan, I won't pursue you anymore. I promise! Believe me. I... I swear."
Sun Chan sighed, "Then you can stay."
"Great! Well, I feel like eating a mango." He followed her with a cheeky grin, but his heart felt sour.
"You said you'd give them to me, you're eating them yourself." Sun Chan said so, but she still took them out. He persistently stayed with Sun Chan, chatting, but Sun Chan just responded indifferently.
Not long after they got to the ward, the door opened, and several doctors came in for rounds.
Bai Fanglan was also there, saw Sun Chan sitting next to a patient, and her eyes flicked. This woman had found a new job again.
Sun Chan pretended not to see her and didn't speak. Bai Fanglan purposely stayed a little longer, "Go and get some water to wipe the area clean, look how dirty it is here, it's not good for the patient's health."
Sun Chan went out. She knew what Bai Fanglan was trying to do; if you want to make trouble, just do so.
When Sun Chan returned, she heard Han Dong shouting, and several other patients in the ward were trying to persuade him.
"I was wondering why Sun Chan never had a job, it's because of you stirring things up! She's young, from the village, can't she be a caretaker? Then many caretakers at your hospital wouldn't have a job! You say your medical skills aren't great, full of bad water, be careful you toxic person can't find a match, or even if you can, can't have kids!"
Bai Fanglan angrily retorted, "What's your quality? I'm going to report you to the security department!"
"What's your quality? You sent my caretaker away and whispered in my ear saying you wanted to date me, I didn't want to, so you slandered me!"
"You're a shameless scoundrel!" Bai Fanglan was almost dying of rage.
"Shameless scoundrel, yet you come close to me, let's go see the leader to reflect on who is truly shameless?"
Bang! The door opened, Bai Fanglan stomped out in a huff, not seeing Sun Chan, walked in the opposite direction. In a rush, she sprained her ankle, walked limping down the corridor, so angry that tears fell.
Sun Chan couldn't help but lift the corners of her mouth, she finally faced some disadvantage.
Seeing her return, Han Dong greeted Sun Chan, "Come, I stood up for you."
Although Sun Chan gave him a glare, she was still very grateful in her heart.
Han Dong originally wanted to stay for a few days, but unfortunately, he was picked up that afternoon. Sun Chan went to buy dinner at the time and only saw that he was gone when she returned.
The patients in the same ward gave her ten yuan, "That's from the family, they said you've worked hard, and since his illness isn't serious, he's gone to recuperate at home."
Sun Chan saw the bag of fruits still nicely placed there, unsure of her feelings.
Although this job was gone, since Bai Fanglan was scolded by Han Dong, she didn't dare to randomly interfere, otherwise, if the mindless guy held on to her, she'd be in real trouble. So Sun Chan quickly found another job, she kept some of the fruits, and the rest were given to Wang Dan.
Wang Dan was also very happy, "Such good things, can I send a few to my partner's family?"
Sun Chan laughed, "Don't send the lemons, they can whiten."
"Got it." Wang Dan cherished these few fruits dearly.
Lin Hongmei, after work, noticed and covertly hinted she wanted some, but Wang Dan didn't pay any mind, making Lin Hongmei so angry she gnashed her teeth. Realizing Han Dong hadn't come to find her for quite a while, her heart sank bit by bit.
It took Lin Hongmei three days to find Han Dong at a game hall he frequented, "When exactly are we getting married, make it clear!"
"Since you're asking like this, let me be direct, my parents don't agree." Han Dong said, a cigarette between his lips, smiling at her.
"You're lying!" Lin Hongmei shouted anxiously, "When you were taking advantage of me, why didn't you say your parents disagreed! Now that you've used me, you don't want to take responsibility, dream on, you're a rogue, I'll sue you! You must marry me, and you have to give me ten thousand yuan for the dowry, so I can marry gloriously. After that, I must manage your money, otherwise, I won't let you go!"
Han Dong's eyes narrowed, "Then go ahead and sue me! If I'm afraid, I wouldn't be Han Dong. If I end up in jail, do you think my parents would accommodate you? We're just dating, who said you can't have that and have to get married after? This isn't the old society! Who are you threatening?"
Han Dong initially had charming eyes, which instantly turned fierce, scaring Lin Hongmei into a shiver, she dared not stop Han Dong, letting him leave swaggeringly.
In reality, Lin Hongmei didn't truly dare to report, once reported, regardless of Han Dong's outcome, she wouldn't be able to marry for life.
