Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

“No matter how capable she is, she’s still a young woman. How can we not worry? Don’t rush back when you come back. It’s fine to wait until Xiao Jiang has recovered before coming back.” Although their daughter’s work will be delayed, in the eyes of the elders, her partner is still more important.

Besides, it's only a month, the police station can still approve the leave.

"Okay, I've got it. Mother, I've noticed that ever since you agreed to my relationship with Jiang Chen, you've been treating him better than me. Mother, I'm jealous." Bai Jing complained as she packed her things, as if she were really angry.

"You," Luo Chunhua glared at her, annoyed, "Isn't your mother just thinking that if I treat him well, he'll treat you even better in the future?"

Perhaps this is the truth behind why mothers-in-law are so good to their sons-in-law.

Bai Jing listened to her mother's nagging with a happy smile.

First, they took a train and then a bus, finally arriving in J City, where Jiang Chen's unit was located. Bai Jing went to the hospital as soon as she arrived.

After asking for directions, she arrived at the door of Jiang Chen's ward.

Two soldiers were guarding his door. Bai Jing was only allowed to pass after showing her identification.

Pushing open the door, the first thing you see is Jiang Chen lying pale on the bed.

His exposed body was wrapped in gauze, and it was clear at a glance that he was seriously injured.

Bai Jing's eyes were red and her nose was sore; this was the first time she had ever seen him so broken.

Although she didn't know when he died, she remembered it certainly wasn't now.

"Jiang Chen." Bai Jing put the things in her hand on the coffee table, then came to the bed and held his rough, large hand, the only one that wasn't bandaged.

"I'm Bai Jing. I've come to see you. Please wake up and look at me, okay?" Bai Jing's voice was hoarse and choked with sobs. You could tell she was sad, and you could also hear the heartache and longing in her voice.

No matter what she said, the person in the hospital bed remained completely still.

Perhaps the leadership learned of Bai Jing's arrival, because about half an hour after Bai Jing went in, a middle-aged man in casual clothes pushed open the door and walked in.

"You must be Comrade Bai Jing. Hello, I'm Jiang Chen's superior. You can call me Brother Zhang. I've been working with Jiang Chen for five years."

Zhang Shuo approached Bai Jing and began to introduce himself, "Sister-in-law, Jiang Chen did this to save me. Don't worry, I will definitely not give up on treating Jiang Chen."

Thinking back to the last battle, Zhang Shuo was still in shock. If Jiang Chen hadn't pulled him away and saved him from that sniper shot, he probably would have been buried by now.

Although he was Jiang Chen's superior, he was also his comrade-in-arms, his good friend, and his elder brother.

Bai Jing wiped away the tears that hadn't dried on her face, stood up, and smiled at the person in front of her: "Hello, Leader Zhang, I am Bai Jing, and I am Jiang Chen's girlfriend."

Because they were still engaged, she couldn't very well say that she was his fiancée.

She could only introduce herself as a potential partner, and she was determined to bring the person back this time, no matter what, to confirm their identities.

“I know you. Jiang Chen has talked about you a lot.” Zhang Shuo knew that Jiang Chen had a younger girlfriend, but he didn’t expect him to be so lucky that his girlfriend would be so beautiful.

I heard from the boss that Jiang Chen's girlfriend is quite capable. What a rascal, I'm really envious.

"Sit down, don't stand. Let me tell you about Jiang Chen's situation." He knew that Bai Jing was more concerned about Jiang Chen's situation at this moment.

Bai Jing didn't refuse, thanked her, and sat down on the sofa next to her.

"Thank you for your help, Brother Zhang."

Zhang Shuo didn't defend himself, but truthfully recounted how Jiang Chen had saved his life. "Don't worry, no matter what happens to Jiang Chen, I, Zhang Shuo, will never give up on him in this lifetime." The doctor had said that it was still uncertain whether Jiang Chen would wake up. A week had passed, and his external injuries had begun to heal, but he still didn't seem to be waking up.

Everyone was very anxious. Jiang Chen was not only a soldier, but also a scientific researcher. However, not many people knew this, but he was one of those who did.

No matter what, he will not give up on Jiang Chen.

As Bai Jing listened, tears began to fall uncontrollably.

"I trust the organization, and I trust Brother Zhang. I won't give up on him." Bai Jing finally understood why the military leaders had called her.

It turned out that Jiang Chen had been unconscious for several days and wanted to come and try to see if he could stimulate the patient and wake him up.

However, she also thanked her superiors, because if they hadn't informed her, she probably would never have known about it in her life.

Zhang Shuo naturally noticed Bai Jing's emotions. He might have thought Jiang Chen's girlfriend was unreliable before, but now it seems Jiang Chen has excellent taste.

“Yes, I believe he will wake up, it’s just a matter of time.” Zhang Shuo’s eyes also reddened.

“Since you’ve just arrived, I’ve arranged for someone to stay with you in the ward so it will be easier for you to take care of him.” As he spoke, he pulled an envelope from his pocket. “This is a token of my appreciation. Please don’t refuse it, Comrade Bai Jing.”

Bai Jing knew at a glance what was in the envelope: money and tickets.

To be honest, she doesn't lack these things, but she naturally won't refuse other people's kindness. She wants to properly nourish Jiang Chen, and the money has to come from a source, so this is just right.

"Okay, then I won't stand on ceremony with you, Brother Zhang. I'll remember all of this and tell Jiang Chen when he wakes up."

After Zhang Shuo left, only Bai Jing and Jiang Chen, who was lying on the hospital bed, remained in the ward.

"Xiao Jin, please check on Jiang Chen. Why hasn't he woken up yet?"

That's right, Bai Jing managed to get help from Xiao Jin.

[Host, please wait a moment.]

Xiao Jin also knew how important Jiang Chen was to Bai Jing, and it had often eavesdropped on their thoughts before.

Therefore, it dared not delay for a moment and immediately scanned Jiang Chen.

Soon, Xiao Jin discovered the problem.

[Host, your beloved has a small piece of shrapnel lodged in his brain, which has been overlooked. It's this shrapnel that's pressing on his brain nerves, causing him to remain unconscious for so long. Once the shrapnel is removed, he will wake up soon.]

Bai Jing was shocked.

"How is this possible? Didn't the hospital find it?" This is a military hospital, how could they not even detect a piece of shrapnel in someone's brain?

"Xiao Jin, did you scan something wrong?" Bai Jing asked in disbelief.

[Host, if you don't believe me, you can scan his brain yourself. The shrapnel is very small, so small that the external injury to his head is not obvious.] Xiao Jin immediately objected when he saw the host questioning him.

Before Bai Jing could even start it, it immediately turned on the scan that the host had turned off, and even changed the scan settings.

Now Bai Jing could clearly see the shrapnel that was hidden deep in Jiang Chen's mind.

She gasped, covering her mouth in surprise. "Xiao Jin, can we operate on him here?" The shrapnel was hidden beneath many nerves. She didn't know how it got there, but she felt that the current level of medical technology was probably insufficient to save him. (End of Chapter)
