After knocking on the door, Cheng Jinnian was very nervous while waiting.

The main reason is that he doesn’t have much time left and he has to leave tomorrow afternoon.

He has been running around until now and hasn't even had time to pack his luggage.

If we can't get a result from this matter today, it will be the end of the year when he comes back next time.

Cheng Jinnian was eager to solve this problem before he left, otherwise when he returned to the army, he would be obsessed with this matter and might even be absent-minded during training.

"Who?"

A voice came slowly, and then the old wooden door in front was opened.

A middle-aged woman in her fifties appeared in front of him.

"Hello, Doctor Liu."

This woman looks very similar to Dr. Liu in both age and demeanor.

Cheng Jinnian didn't say anything and just greeted him directly.

"you are?"

The other party frowned slightly and looked at him with some confusion.

She neither refused nor objected, which meant that she was Dr. Liu.

"Doctor Liu, my name is Cheng Jinnian, and this is my military ID."

"I came to see you this time because I need to confirm something with you about something that happened seven years ago."

As Cheng Jinnian spoke, he took out the medical records he had copied in advance and handed them over.

Doctor Liu took it with a frown in confusion. She looked at the medical record carefully, and the expression on her face eased a little.

"Is this what you came to me for?"

Dr. Liu was a smart man and quickly guessed his purpose.

"Yes, this matter is quite complicated. Can I come in and sit down?"

"And I've been running around for several days for this matter. To be honest, I haven't had a sip of water during this period. If possible, I would like to stop by and ask for a glass of water."

Cheng Jinnian's wet hair was still dripping with water, but the smile on his face was very bright.

Doctor Liu just checked his ID and confirmed his identity. Plus he had the hospital's medical records, so there should be no problem with his identity.

"come in."

Doctor Liu took a step back and let Cheng Jinnian in.

After entering, she first asked Cheng Jinnian to sit on a chair against the wall, and then poured him a large glass of water.

"Drink it, and then tell me what you want to say."

"I have been a doctor for most of my life, and I like to be straightforward in what I say and do."

Dr. Liu's meaning was very clear; she was not one who liked to beat around the bush.

Since Cheng Jinnian came to see her, she might as well just say it straight.

Anyway, Dr. Liu felt that she was upright and had done nothing wrong in that matter.

So even if the person involved came to her, she would not be bothered at all.

Cheng Jinnian drank a large glass of water in one breath, reached out to touch the water stains around his mouth, and then spoke.

"Seven years ago, when my wife was about to give birth, my mother forced her to work in the fields."

"As a result, she fainted on the ground due to overwork, and the impact when she fell caused premature birth."

"The children were delivered by a village midwife. The midwife said that the children were in very bad condition when they were born. My mother also told me that the two children were in critical condition and were immediately sent to the hospital for emergency treatment after they were born."

"But I just went to the midwife's home a while ago, and the midwife said that the baby was indeed in a bad condition when he was born, but he has survived thanks to her full efforts to save him."

"I went to the hospital to check the files and found that my mother had brought her two children to you for treatment, so I wanted to ask you, what was the situation of those two children back then?"

Cheng Jinnian spoke for a long time in one breath, and explained the cause and effect of the whole incident.

The reason why he didn't call Wei Mingxiang by her name was because he didn't want to waste time explaining their relationship before the truth came to light.

After listening to this, Dr. Liu was silent for a moment, then asked in confusion.

"But your mother didn't come to the hospital to bring the child for treatment."

"what?"

At Dr. Liu's words, Cheng Jinnian's pupils contracted instantly, and he couldn't wait to ask.

"Doctor Liu, please continue. What is going on?"

Doctor Liu took the copy of Cheng Jinnian's medical record, then pointed to the contents on the record and explained them to him sentence by sentence.

"I know my handwriting is a little sloppy, but the meaning is actually very simple."

"This is not actually a medical record, but a diagnosis certificate."

"When your mother brought the two children here, she just wanted me to check their bodies and then ask me to help issue a health certificate."

"To be honest, I've been a pediatrician for so many years, and this is the first time I've encountered such a strange request."

Doctor Liu paused here, she raised her head and quietly observed Cheng Jinnian's reaction.

"Instead of seeing a doctor, you're asking for a health certificate?"

After hearing this, Cheng Jinnian frowned, because he heard a hint of conspiracy in this sentence.

Normal rural people would never go to the hospital unless they are sick, let alone get a health certificate.

Apart from a physical examination when he joined the army, Cheng Jinnian did not need a health certificate when he went to other places later.

Wei Mingxiang lied to Jiang Wan that she brought her child here for treatment, but then she went to the hospital to get a health certificate. What was her purpose in doing these things?

"Correct."

Doctor Liu nodded affirmatively, and Cheng Jinnian continued.

"Did you give her the prescription?"

"It has to be opened. Your mother is such a person..."

At this point, Dr. Liu realized that it was inappropriate to speak ill of the mother in front of her son, and he immediately stopped talking.

"Doctor Liu, you don't have to consider my face. Just say whatever you want to say."

Wei Mingxiang used to disguise herself very well in front of Cheng Jinnian, especially after he became an adult, she even spoke softly to him.

Every time he came back from the army to visit his family, Wei Mingxiang would always treat him to delicious food and wine.

Cheng Jinnian didn't buy her story at first. After all, Wei Mingxiang hadn't been very nice to him when he was very young.

Later, as time went by, Wei Mingxiang treated him the same way for ten years, and even if he had a heart of stone, he softened at this time.

Cheng Jinnian's attitude towards her softened a little, and he trusted her words more than before.

After Jiang Wan told him about the past, he realized that Wei Mingxiang had been pretending in front of him all along.

Now a complete stranger is trying to expose her true face, which shows how stupid he was before.

He had actually been deceived by the illusion she had created.

"Because our hospital has never issued a precedent for health certificates for infants and young children. I told your mother the same thing, but she actually yelled at me."

"She said that rules are meant to be broken, and just because it didn't work before doesn't mean it won't work now. I still refused, but she actually threw herself on the ground and started throwing tantrums, saying that I hit her."
