The aloof military doctor arrives at the unit, and the tough guy can't sit still.

Bai Yunyun thought for a moment, then turned and walked into Xia Dazhi's ward. She had already given Xia Qiuran's mother a hard time, and Xia Qiuran's father wouldn't be able to escape either. Every single member of his family would have to apologize to her.

Bai Yunyun walked to Xia Dazhi's side, first pinching her nose in disgust, then looking at the tattered coat on the bed with even more disdain.

"You must be Xia Dazhi, Xia Qiuran's father."

Xia Dazhi was injured in his shoulder blade and could only lie in bed. When Bai Yunyun came over to talk to him, he could only lift his head and glance at her with difficulty.

"It's me. And who are you?"

"You don't need to know who I am. I'm here to tell you what your daughter has been doing in the city," Bai Yunyun said in a very disdainful tone.

Upon hearing that it was about Xia Qiuran, Xia Dazhi immediately became nervous.

"Xiao Ran, what's wrong with Xiao Ran?"

"Hmph, your daughter is quite something. Not only did she steal someone else's boyfriend, but she also got entangled with multiple gay men."

Bai Yunyun glanced at Xia Dazhi, a cold smile playing on her lips, and spoke in a mocking tone.

Upon hearing this, Xia Dazhi immediately retorted, "Impossible, my daughter isn't that kind of person."

He knew his daughter well; she would never do such a thing. Back then, Zhao Feng was so outstanding, with a job and family that everyone in the commune envied, yet Xia Qiuran resolutely broke off the engagement. How could she make such a mistake now?

Bai Yunyun continued, "Hmph, what's impossible about that? Do you know how expensive it is to stay in a hospital for a day? How could a soldier who is still in his internship afford so much money?"

Xia Dazhi's eyes trembled, but he still refused to believe it: "This money is Xiao Ran's salary, and the money she saves from selling plasters."

Bai Yunyun paused for a moment. This Xia Dazhi was much more difficult to deal with than Xia Qiuran's mother. He was still not fooled by what she said. It seemed that she had to put more effort into it.

"Are you country folk all so stupid that you believe such things? Xia Qiuran is a trainee soldier with a monthly salary of twenty yuan, and her plaster costs five mao a piece. Your wound surgery alone will cost several hundred yuan, not including the cost of medicine and rehabilitation. Do you think she can save up that much money?"

Bai Yunyun immediately laid the bill out in front of Xia Dazhi. When she heard that the surgery would cost several hundred yuan, her face turned pale with fright.

They worked in the production team every day, earning an average of three cents per work point. After deducting food and necessities, they couldn't save more than a few dollars a year.

Now he's asking for hundreds of yuan at a time; his life isn't even worth that much.

With so much money tied up, how is Xiaoran going to pay it back?

"I want to be discharged; I don't want further treatment."

Xia Dazhi struggled to get out of bed, his eyes filled with panic.

But he was injured in his shoulder blade, and he dared not move his upper body at all. He could only walk with his upper body stiff and his legs alone. But he couldn't maintain his balance at all, and he fell to the ground before he even got out of bed.

With a loud cracking sound from his bones, Xia Dazhi froze completely.

Bai Yunyun quickly took a step back, "You were the one who wanted to get out of bed, don't say it was my fault."

Afterwards, the family members in the same ward couldn't bear to watch anymore and helped Xia Dazhi onto the bed to call the doctor.

Seeing Xia Dazhi's head tilted to the side, unable to move, and hearing the sound of bones breaking, Bai Yunyun felt a little panicked. As a doctor, she could tell from this situation that it was probably a second fracture. If he didn't get treatment in time, he might be bedridden for life. She should leave quickly, lest things get out of hand and he be blamed for it.

When Xia Qiuran and Qian Guifang returned, they found the doctor was trying to save Xia Dazhi.

Thinking the patient's condition had suddenly worsened, they quickly went to check on him.

"A secondary fracture requires immediate surgery."

After examining Xia Dazhi, the orthopedic surgeon hurriedly wheeled him into the operating room.

Xia Qiuran was not a medical professional and could not enter the operating room; she could only watch as the doors closed.

She and Qian Guifang sat on the cold bench outside the operating room, their fingers trembling with nervousness. They dared not think too deeply, and when they closed their eyes, all they could think about was their beloved.

Everything was fine before we went out, so how did things suddenly change?

After a long wait, Xia Dazhi was finally wheeled out of the operating room and returned to a regular ward, but he was still unconscious.

"How is it?"

After returning home, the patient in the next bed asked him with concern.

Qian Guifang wiped away her tears: "The doctor said it all depends on today. If she doesn't recover well..."

"A person who was perfectly fine just a moment ago has suddenly become like this," sighed the person in the next bed.

"Hey, who is that woman who came today? What grudge do you have against her?"

These words stunned Xia Qiuran and her daughter. All their relatives lived in the commune, and they hadn't heard of anyone visiting Xia Dazhi in the hospital.

"Our hometown is in the countryside, and none of our relatives have come to visit," Qian Guifang replied, puzzled.

"That might be your daughter's enemy. Those words were too harsh; they clearly wanted to take advantage of your illness to kill you."

The woman in the next bed glanced at Xia Qiuran and said hesitantly.

"What did she say?" Qian Guifang asked again, but this time the woman in the next bed hesitated and did not answer.

Xia Qiuran had already guessed most of it by now, and she knew without even thinking what the harsh words would be.

"Auntie, to be honest, I do have a few colleagues with whom I don't get along well due to work competition, but family shouldn't be involved. How can someone who speaks like that in front of a patient be a good person?"

Xia Qiuran did not explain directly, but instead let the person in the next bed experience it for themselves through this incident.

"Dr. Xia, we believe you, but what she said was too hurtful, and we can't bring ourselves to repeat it," the patient in the next bed said after thinking for a moment.

"That's right, how can we say things like 'seducing someone's partner while being involved with several men at the same time'?" The family member in the next bed chimed in.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was glared at by the patient in the next bed.

Xia Qiuran ignored this and continued to ask, "Was that person wearing a pink dress and white leather shoes, and never looking people in the eye when they spoke?"

"Yes, yes, her eyes are practically glued to the top of her head. I've never seen such an arrogant woman," the family member in the next bed immediately replied.

Xia Qiuran gritted her teeth, her eyes cold. This Bai Yunyun had bullied her mother and was now trying to harm her father. If she didn't retaliate, she probably wouldn't be able to stop.

Xia Qiuran got up and was about to leave without saying anything, but Qian Guifang immediately grabbed her arm, her eyes filled with fear and tears.

"Xiao Ran, just bear with it. If something happens to you while your father is like this, what will your mother do?"

"Now that your brother has a leg injury and your father is in a coma, if something happens to you too, I won't be able to live. Let's all go to the noodle shop for a family reunion."

Qian Guifang cried as she spoke, her shoulders trembling.

Seeing her mother crying her heart out, Xia Qiuran was at a loss. Their family situation was indeed not going to be affected by any setbacks. She was the biggest support for the family now, and she shouldn't act impulsively without considering the consequences, at least not when her parents were around.

Xia Qiuran suppressed her resentment, deciding that everything could only be discussed after her parents passed away.

"Beep, beep."

Suddenly, the detection equipment on Xia Dazhi's body started beeping.

"Get him to the emergency room quickly, his blood pressure and heart rate are starting to become unstable," Xia Qiuran said anxiously, looking at the numbers on the monitor.
