Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

Nurse Xiao Yang was very shocked.

After the Zhao family came to the hospital yesterday, they clamored to have Zhao Jianshe stay in a single room. At that time, her colleague said that the family was really well-off and they were willing to let him stay in a single room.

You know, single rooms are usually occupied by cadres, because the unit bears the medical expenses and they cannot spend much money themselves.

It turned out that it was Comrade Xu who paid for their medical expenses, so they insisted on staying in a single room. It seems that since they were not paying for it themselves, they would not feel sorry for the money.

"How about I talk to the higher-ups and have him assigned to a regular ward?"

Judging from Zhao Jianshe's condition, he will have to stay for at least another ten days or half a month. If we calculate it as fifteen days, that means an extra four dollars and fifty cents a day, which comes out to sixty-seven dollars and fifty cents, which is a considerable expense.

Although, for Xu Wanning, this money is nothing.

But unnecessary expenses should still be saved.

"Don't bother. Zhao Jianshe's condition is already quite serious, and staying in a single room will help him recover. I came to you not only to prepay the hospital fees, but also to ask you for a favor."

"Yeah, tell me."

"I know the policy of our hospital. If you pay the hospital fee in advance, the cost of eating in the cafeteria can also be deducted from the hospital fee, right?"

"Yes, our hospital has this policy."

"Zhao Jianshe has only one caregiver, his wife, Comrade Qian. If Comrade Qian eats in the cafeteria, the cost can be deducted from the prepaid hospital fee, but other people besides her cannot do so. Nurse Xiao Yang, I don't know if my request is in accordance with the rules?"

Nurse Xiao Yang immediately said, "Of course it is in accordance with the rules. We originally had this policy to facilitate patients and their families. In order to facilitate registration at the canteen, we will give a voucher. Only with this voucher can you go to the canteen to eat, and the canteen will register."

"We can't implement this for everyone, but one voucher can be used up to three times a day."

In other words, breakfast, lunch and dinner can only be used once. If Comrade Qian does not use it and gives the voucher to others, he will have to buy meals with his own money.

Xu Wanning didn't want to care about this little money. She was willing to pay the extra four dollars and fifty cents a day for a single room. Even if three people ate in the cafeteria, how much would it cost in a day?

She just couldn't stand Zhao's mother's behavior and didn't want to be taken advantage of by her.

She can be generous, but she must be generous on her own initiative, not forced to be generous by others.

"Thank you, Nurse Xiao Yang."

"No, I'm glad to be able to help you."

After leaving the hospital, Xu Wanning returned home.

To be honest, after a day and a night of hard work, she was a little tired.

Exhausted physically and mentally.

After returning home, the children were still playing outside and Lin Quan had gone to the charity organization, so there was no one at home.

Xu Wanning went to the kitchen and prepared the ingredients for the afternoon meal before returning to the bedroom.

She wanted to read a book, but after opening it, she found that she couldn't concentrate and instead felt drowsy.

She simply closed the book and went to take a nap on the bed.

Half asleep, Xu Wanning felt a rough hand touching her face.

At the same time, a familiar smell entered her nostrils.

Xu Wanning, who was still asleep, suddenly opened her eyes and saw Lin An's tired face.

"You're back!" Xu Wanning's voice could not hide her excitement.

It has been a month and a half since Lin An went out on a mission. It would be a lie to say that I don't miss him.

Lin An hugged Xu Wanning tightly in his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder, "Sorry, Aning, I broke my promise again."

"What have you done to make me feel sorry for myself?" Xu Wanning joked deliberately.

Lin An let go of Xu Wanning, stared into her eyes, his tone full of guilt.

"I clearly promised you before that I would stay by your side when you encounter problems and help you solve troubles and difficulties. However, such a big thing happened in the bathhouse, and I didn't stay with you, leaving you to bear it all alone."

Whenever Lin An thought of Xu Wanning being isolated and helpless, he felt uncomfortable.

He is not a qualified husband.

The money-maker in the family is Xu Wanning. While balancing her studies and work, she also has to worry about so many businesses and manage the family very well. In comparison, Lin An's existence seems very insecure.

His allowance is more than 100 yuan per month, which sounds like a lot at first glance. At least in Beijing, this income is enough to beat a large group of people in seconds.

But more than a hundred yuan is not as much as the net profit of one day from any of Xu Wanning's businesses.

It’s not his turn to make money, but he should at least take good care of Xu Wanning, right?

But many times when Xu Wanning encountered problems, he was not by her side.

Even though he went on a mission and it was understandable, Lin An still couldn't forgive himself.

Looking at his red eyes, Xu Wanning smiled and pinched his face.

"I don't know who told you this, and I don't know what that person said to you, but the fact is that the incident at the bathhouse didn't affect me at all. Moreover, it has been successfully resolved now, and I didn't contribute much throughout the whole process."

It's just a little money.

But that little bit of money is really just a small amount for Xu Wanning.

"Can……"

"Don't think too much, and don't put all the blame on yourself. Lin An, we have agreed long ago that you protect everyone and I protect our little home. We have a clear division of labor."

"Everything has been fine at home. Although there are some minor troubles occasionally, they will not affect our normal life. It is not to the extent that you have to step in. But for the whole country, there is so much you can do."

"Everyone has his or her own value and meaning. Your value lies in leading your action team to defend a part of the motherland. By the way, did your mission go smoothly this time?"

Lin An nodded: "It went smoothly. We have destroyed the criminal gang. And because we were fast enough and launched a surprise attack without any prior information leaking out, the gang was completely unprepared and not a single one escaped. But..."

"Just what?" Xu Wanning tilted her head to look at him and asked, "Are there many victims?"

Lin An nodded, his tone solemn: "This criminal gang not only buys and sells women and children, but also many young and middle-aged men."

Xu Wanning didn't quite understand. What was the purpose of trafficking young men?

Lin An explained: "Because those people are all strong laborers."
