Chapter 1249 Great help
Mrs. Hu was dumbfounded. "That's your father-in-law! His fracture hasn't healed yet; he can't go to jail!"
Zhang Xiufang's gaze was icy. "Then he can be cured before going to jail. I will definitely pursue Old Man Hu's legal responsibility. Even if Hu Jian wakes up, I will still insist on this."
This time, Hu's mother was so angry that she fainted.
"Doctor, doctor!" Aunt Hu quickly helped her sister up, then looked at Zhang Xiufang, "Can't you just say less?"
Zhang Xiufang snorted, her eyes filled with contempt. "Why should I say less? He deserved to die. The sooner such a bad person dies, the better this society will be."
"You..." Aunt Hu saw Zhang Xiufang's coldness and knew that Zhang Xiufang already regarded them as enemies, so she didn't say anything more and quickly took them to see a doctor.
Zhang Xiufang would stand for a while, then sit, watching Hu Jian in the ward, and praying silently.
Once Hu's mother recovered, she was discharged from the hospital. Hu's aunt took her sister home before going home herself. The next day, Hu's mother did not come to the hospital to visit her son immediately, but instead went to the detention center to see Hu's father.
After learning that his son might not wake up, Mr. Hu was filled with regret. "Oh, I... I went too far this time. If I had known, I would have... I would have... Oh..."
Hu's mother wiped away her tears, "What should we do now?"
Mr. Hu thought for a moment, then said, "Go find a lawyer and ask around. If our son is really in a vegetative state, then... then it's better for him to be dead. Otherwise, all of our son's property will go to that woman, and we won't get any of it."
Hu's mother couldn't believe it. "You're not worried about your son, but instead you're thinking about money?"
Seeing his wife was angry, Mr. Hu quickly explained, "I said if, if our son wakes up, that would be the best. But... but what if he doesn't wake up? Shouldn't we think about our future? We don't have a son anymore, we only have pensions. If we can't live a good old age, we need to have money."
Originally easily swayed and controlled by her husband her whole life, Hu's mother thought it over carefully and realized that her husband's words made sense. "But... but our son is still in the hospital..."
Hu's father scolded, "Be smart, don't let that divorced woman play you!"
"Oh!" Hu's mother replied.
Zhang Xiufang stayed outside the ward the whole time. At night, she would lie on a bench outside the ward, covered with a small blanket.
Zhang Xiufang was very grateful to bodyguard Xiao Guo for taking care of her most of the time last night.
"Xiao Guo, thank you." Zhang Xiufang expressed her gratitude while eating the breakfast that Xiao Guo's bodyguard had bought for her. "Once I'm done here, I'll introduce you to someone."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Guo's face instantly turned red. "Sister Zhang, thank you... thank you."
Zhang Xiufang smiled. "Really no boyfriend?"
Xiao Guo nodded, "No! My family is quite poor. I practiced martial arts for eight years and then served in the army for three years. Because my parents were getting old, I chose to retire. I stayed home to take care of them for two years, but I still couldn't let them live a few more years, which is a great regret."
Zhang Xiufang was taken aback. "So, you only live alone at home?"
Xiao Guo's eyes showed bitterness. "My dad has no relatives left, but my mom still has her maternal grandmother and uncle. However, the relationship is rather distant."
Zhang Xiufang stroked her chin, looking Xiao Guo up and down. "Xiao Guo, you're a good person, and good-looking too. The fact that Meilan chose you as her bodyguard proves you're very capable. Since you don't have many relatives back in your hometown, would you like to settle down on Sifang Island?"
Xiao Guo was taken aback. "Sister Zhang, are you really going to introduce me to someone?"
Zhang Xiufang nodded, swallowing the shrimp dumpling in her mouth. "Of course, I think you're a capable young man with good character. We have a female employee at our ornamental fish farm. She has two sisters; her two older sisters are already married and living in the city. She's the youngest, the last one, and she's planning to find someone to settle down with."
"Sister Zhang? Is it a marriage proposal?" Xiao Guo asked.
Zhang Xiufang considered it carefully, "It's a mixed bag. The woman's family requires that any child born in the future take the woman's surname. She doesn't mind having two children, or even three. If you mind, then forget it, I'll introduce you to other families. It's just that the woman's conditions aren't as good as ours!"
Xiao Guo breathed a sigh of relief. "My family practices martial arts and has a martial arts tradition. I don't care if it's a boy or a girl, but I need a child to carry on my family's martial arts tradition, otherwise I'll always feel sorry for my ancestors."
Zhang Xiufang nodded, "Okay, it's only natural, I understand. Thank you again, but I don't know if Hu Jian will wake up."
Zhang Xiufang touched her belly, feeling both sad and exhausted, but no matter what, she would not give up on Hu Jian.
Such a good man, as long as Hu Jian has a breath left, she will always be Hu Jian's wife.
Xiao Guo said politely, "Sister Xiufang, here's toothpaste, a toothbrush, and some Dabao face cream. Go wash up by the sink over there. I'll keep an eye on Brother Hu Jian's side!"
"Please." Zhang Xiufang rubbed her face, knowing that now was not the time to be stubborn. If the worst-case scenario really occurred, she had to be prepared for a long "battle".
After saying that, Zhang Xiufang took her toiletries and went to wash her face and brush her teeth.
Professor Xie was very concerned about Zhang Xiufang at home. "Meilan, how is Fujian? Where is Xiufang?"
Liu Meilan replied, "Mom, I left bodyguard Xiao Guo there to help out, and I brought Xiao Li back. Hu Jian's surgery was successful, and he can be transferred to a regular ward tomorrow. The doctor expects him to wake up in two or three days, but... there's always the possibility of something going wrong..."
Professor Xie, being a medical professional, was certainly aware of the "what if" possibility. "I'll go over after I finish my work tomorrow. I'll prepare extra money; it should be useful."
Liu Meilan nodded, "Yes, there's one more thing, Sister Xiufang is pregnant."
"Huh?" Professor Xie was taken aback. "Pregnant? This... what if... oh no... I'll call right now."
Professor Xie took out his phone and called Zhang Xiufang, offering his concern. He didn't hang up until quite a while later.
Grandpa Liu heard this too, and said, "Qingya, if Hu Jian doesn't wake up, I hope you will invite the best doctor to come and help him."
Professor Xie nodded. "I know."
"Cough cough cough..." Doctor Wang stroked his beard, demonstrating his organizational skills, "My acupuncture skills are also very good. If he doesn't wake up, I can also help."
Old Master Liu was taken aback, then laughed, "I forgot, I have a renowned doctor like you by my side."
Dr. Wang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Sigh, with the decline of traditional Chinese medicine, the first thing that comes to mind is Western medicine."
Grandpa Liu sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. Western medicine can be learned quickly, but traditional Chinese medicine has to be learned from a young age."
“Since Xiufang’s husband is in trouble, we all need to do our part,” Dr. Wang said with concern. “Xiufang usually takes good care of us at home. Now it’s our turn to help her.”
"Yes!" everyone responded.
The next day at noon, they arrived at the hospital and encountered even more bizarre people and events.
