Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

"Patients will receive the best treatment here, ensuring their comfort, their peace of mind, and their leaders' reassurance."

Seeing that the doctor had already resorted to his usual platitudes, Liu Haizhong could only follow suit with polite inquiries.

"Okay, okay, then I'll trouble you, doctor."

The doctor replied.

"You're too kind. We're just serving the people."

After saying that, the doctor turned and left. Liu Haizhong and He Daqing left their names and addresses at the reception desk and then left.

"Old Liu, are doctors in Beijing hospitals all this polite now?"

Liu Hai thought to himself that they don't usually act like this; they're probably afraid of inspections from above because it's Chinese New Year.

However, considering that He Daqing hadn't returned to the capital for over a decade, he deliberately boasted.

"Of course, the doctors' service attitude is much better than before. Didn't you see that just now?"

He Daqing glanced back at the hospital entrance and said...

"The hospital gate seems to be much smaller than when I walked in; the changes are quite significant."

Liu Haizhong turned around and glanced at the words on the hospital entrance: Beijing Sixth Hospital.

"That's right, it's the Sixth Hospital. This should be another entrance."

"Didn't you say you needed to use the restroom? We probably took the wrong shortcut and didn't get to the main entrance."

"But it doesn't matter, since it's all the Sixth Hospital anyway, and the doctor took the person away."

He Daqing felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

The two walked home, and after turning the corner, they ran into Qin Huairu, who was on her way to the hospital.

"Second Uncle, Uncle He, how is my mother?"

Liu Haizhong said.

"The doctor has already had your mother taken to the hospital; they said she will be treated."

"You don't need to go either. The doctor said we can talk about it tomorrow. Your mother-in-law and the others will take care of you."

Qin Huairu asked.

"You don't need to go and stay with her?"

Liu Haizhong nodded.

"Yes, that's what the doctor said."

"They said it was too late to let outsiders in, so as not to disturb other patients' rest. They will arrange for someone to take care of the patients."

Qin Huairu thought about it and agreed. It was already past two o'clock, and walking around there would indeed disturb others.

"Alright then, let's go back together. I'll go see her again tomorrow."

When Liu Haizhong, He Daqing, and Qin Huairu returned to the courtyard, everyone had already left, and the deaf old lady was resting at Uncle Yi's house.

After returning home, Qin Huairu tidied up briefly and went to bed.

The next morning, Qin Huairu prepared porridge, steamed buns, and boiled an egg before heading to the hospital to visit Jia Zhangshi.

As soon as she arrived at the gate of the Sixth Hospital, she saw an older woman walking out of it.

Why are you here so early? I didn't see any of the older women cooking this morning. Maybe they just bought ready-made breakfast.

"Auntie, you've come very early. How's Uncle's health?"

An older woman shook her head.

"The doctor said it was a stroke caused by high blood pressure due to shock, and he just woke up."

"I didn't get a good night's rest after a whole night of running around, so I'm going out to get something to eat and buy him some porridge while I'm at it."

Qin Huairu was puzzled by this. Why did the doctor not allow her to accompany the patient, but instead allowed an older woman to do so?

"Ma'am, did you stay at the hospital to take care of her yesterday?"

The older woman nodded.

"Yes, we couldn't have left without someone there yesterday."

Qin Huairu recalled Yi Zhonghai's incontinence and knew that in such cases, family members would need to change his clothes and wipe his body, unlike her mother-in-law.

"Huai Ru, I'm leaving now. I'll go see your mother-in-law later."

After saying that, the older woman left the hospital gates, while Qin Huairu walked into the hospital lobby carrying a lunchbox.

"Nurse, I'd like to ask, which ward is Zhang Cuihua in?"

The nurse said.

"When were you admitted to the hospital? What is your relationship with the patient?"

Qin Huairu said.

“She is my mother-in-law. She was admitted to the hospital last night, no, around 2 a.m. this morning.”

The nurse pulled out the patient's records, looked around, and then replied.

"I'm sorry, we don't have a patient named Zhang Cuihua here."

Qin Huairu was taken aback when she heard this, but then she remembered that it was Liu Haizhong and He Daqing who brought her mother over last night.

"These two people might not have registered her mother-in-law's name; they might have used their own or her information," she asked.

"Nurse, this was brought in by a neighbor from our hospital last night. Could you please check it again?"

The nurse nodded.

"Tell me your neighbor's name."

Qin Huairu said.

“One of them is called Liu Haizhong, and the other is called He Daqing. Oh, right, I am his daughter-in-law. My name is Qin Huairu.”

The nurse flipped through the booklet again, looked up at Qin Huairu, and shook her head.

“I checked, and there are no patient records registered under the names of Qin Huairu, Liu Haizhong, or He Daqing from yesterday to this morning.”

"Go back and ask your neighbors if the person was brought to our hospital."

Qin Huairu was stunned when she heard this. Her mother-in-law wasn't at the Sixth Hospital, so where was she?

How can a perfectly healthy person just disappear like that? Could they possibly be lost?

Or did Uncle Er and the others not take the person to the Sixth Hospital last night, but somewhere else instead?

In a ward at the Sixth Hospital, Jia Zhangshi lay on the bed, surrounded by four doctors in white coats.

"I noticed she has some hair loss."

"No, no, I think there's something wrong with her legs. Look, her legs are bent."

"I think she's blind. Look at her eyes, they're wide open and she's not moving at all."

“You’re all wrong. She clearly has epilepsy; her whole body is convulsing.”

Jia Zhangshi stared wide-eyed at the four doctors surrounding her.

"Doctor, can you treat my illness now?"

"I feel like my leg is broken, and my whole body hurts."

The doctor standing at the front pulled out a hacksaw from the side and called to the other doctors.

"Your leg is broken, right? Okay, since it's already broken, let's saw it off. Leaving it here is just getting in the way."

"Come on, hold her down, I'm going to perform an amputation on her."

When Jia Zhangshi heard that amputation was required, she immediately objected.

"I don't want to have my limbs amputated, I don't want to have my limbs amputated."

"My leg is broken, you could have just reattached it for me, why did you have to amputate it!"

Jia Zhangshi was held down by the three doctors beside her. As the saw teeth drew closer, Jia Zhangshi struggled more and more fiercely.

"I don't want to, I don't want to..."

The doctor, who was pressing on Jia Zhangshi's shoulder, said coldly.

"Shut up and behave!"

“The bone-setting specialists here haven’t arrived yet. Given your current condition, amputation is the best option.”

"We are doctors, and the plan we have devised is the best plan. You must follow our instructions!"

"If you struggle recklessly and end up sawing too much or too little, we won't be responsible."

The doctor, holding a hacksaw, rested his chin on his hand and said.
