Chapter 326 Don't Spread Rumors
"Did you hear me?"
Lu Congyue said again, his brows furrowed tightly, "Go back now!"
Zhuang Qingxiang was so angry she wanted to smash the teacup in his face.
Shi Peiran quickly advised, "Sister Zhuang, Director Lu is just worried about you and wants you to go back and rest. With me, your doctor, here at the hospital, what are you worried about? Go back now."
"Director Lu, am I right?" Shi Peiran turned to Lu Congyue and asked.
Lu Congyue's expression was still very unpleasant. Seeing Zhuang Qingxiang's pale face and cold sweat on her forehead, his expression became even more unpleasant, and his tone became very stiff.
Hearing Shi Peiran's explanation and seeing Zhuang Qingxiang's angry expression, this time it was Lu Congyue's turn to break out in a cold sweat.
"Yes! That's what Dr. Shi meant." His voice softened immediately. "There are doctors here this afternoon, so you should go back and have a good meal and rest. Tonight... I don't need anyone to accompany me tonight, you can come tomorrow."
He wanted her to be with him 24/7, but now he's changed his mind.
There are some things you can think about, but you can't do.
She needs to rest; she has three children at home to take care of.
"Dr. Shi!" he suddenly called out, "While I'm in the hospital for the next couple of days, could you please ask Ms. Sun to come to our home and take care of my child?"
"This..." Shi Peiran couldn't make a decision for Sun Yongxian. "She went to register at the kindergarten today. We'll have to see her to find out the specifics."
Lu Congyue nodded slightly: "Remember to ask for me."
Then he urged Zhuang Qingxiang to hurry back, wishing he could give her wings and fly her home directly.
Zhuang Qingxiang thanked Shi Peiran politely, then turned and left.
As soon as she left, Lu Congyue stared longingly at the doorway. Shi Peiran sighed, "Director Lu, you're usually so good at sweet-talking and softening your tone, aren't you? Why did you just now..."
Lu Congyue's gaze instantly shifted to his face, sharp as ever: "Don't spread rumors!"
Heh! Shi Peiran sneered inwardly.
He would have been fooled if he hadn't heard so much about it outside.
"Director Lu, I know you had a long face just now because you were worried about Sister Zhuang, but if I hadn't explained for you, Sister Zhuang would definitely have misunderstood you. It's precisely at times like these that you need to show concern and be gentle. Why did you let your concern cloud your judgment?"
Lu Congyue touched his nose: "You talk too much. Alright, I'm going to take a nap."
He turned over, his back to Shi Peiran.
Sigh, what happened to him just now? He was clearly worried about her and wanted to urge her to go home and rest, so why...
That foul mouth!
Lu Congyue resisted the urge to slap himself in the mouth and closed his eyes.
He needs to recover quickly so he can be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible.
Zhuang Qingxiang was still furious when she left the hospital.
On second thought, there's no need to argue with a patient; let's just assume his brain has been damaged by the fever.
I rode my bike to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought some things, and then rushed home.
The house was quiet. When I went inside, I saw that all three children were asleep, and Aunt Zhang was dozing off next to them.
Zhuang Qingxiang gently nudged Aunt Zhang, who suddenly opened her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was her.
The two people came out of the inner room, and Aunt Zhang asked, "How did it go?"
"The fever has subsided, I'm fine," Zhuang Qingxiang said with a smile. "Aunt Zhang, thank you so much for today, Uncle Zheng. By the way, where's Uncle Zheng?"
"Ugh, don't even mention that old geezer, he's useless! When he sees you've bought some good food, he insists on having a drink, then he eats and drinks his fill and goes home to rest happily. You can't count on him, you can't count on a sow climbing a tree!" Aunt Zhang cursed.
Aunt Zhang could say that, but Zhuang Qingxiang couldn't possibly respond.
They were just trying to help out of kindness; it's perfectly fine for them to go back and take a nap after their meal.
She smiled and said, "Aunt Zhang, you must be tired too. You should go home and rest."
As he spoke, he stuffed the net bag in his hand into Aunt Zhang's hands: "Aunt Zhang, I don't know how to thank you and Uncle Zheng, so I bought you two cans of food."
"Oh dear, how can this be? I've already felt bad for taking your food after watching the child for just a little while. How can I accept your canned food? No, no, absolutely not! Take it back right now!" Aunt Zhang exclaimed.
"You must accept it!" Zhuang Qingxiang quickly said. "If you don't accept it, I'll personally deliver it to your home! Aunt Zhang, I'll definitely need to trouble you again in the future. If you don't accept it, how can I possibly ask you for help again?"
These words warmed Aunt Zhang's heart. Knowing that Lu Congyue would be hospitalized for a few days, she knew she would have to come and help take care of the child. After saying a few more polite words, she took the canned food and went home happily.
After seeing the person off, Zhuang Qingxiang went to the kitchen to cook and eat. She was afraid she would faint again if she didn't eat properly.
After finishing her meal, Zhuang Qingxiang lay down on the bed and fell asleep almost instantly.
She slept until dinner time, when Xiao Luyue woke her up.
Zhuang Qingxiang glanced at the sky and was startled: "Yueyue, why didn't you wake me up earlier?"
Xiao Luyue shook her head: "Mom is tired, but I can take care of my two younger brothers."
As she spoke, she grinned, revealing a row of pearly white teeth: "Teacher Sun is here! And Teacher Sun will be there to help!"
Just as she finished speaking, Sun Yongxian, who had heard the commotion, came in.
"Sister Zhuang, you're finally awake! You must be exhausted." She said with concern, "It's all Director Lu's fault. Why did you have to get out in the rain? Now I'm sick and you have to take care of me."
She was wholeheartedly on Zhuang Qingxiang's side. No matter what happened, it was all Director Lu's fault and had nothing to do with her dear Sister Zhuang!
Zhuang Qingxiang was both amused and exasperated, but she shared the same thought as Sun Yongxian.
They're all adults, yet they don't know how to take shelter from the rain, and when they get sick, they still have to bother her...
"Sister Zhuang, I heard from Pei Ran that you have low blood sugar. How are you now?" Sun Yongxian asked again.
Zhuang Qingxiang shook her head: "It's all fine now, don't worry."
She got out of bed, raised her arms and kicked her legs to indicate to Sun Yongxian that she was fine.
Sun Yongxian had more good news: Lu Congyue had helped her get leave from the kindergarten, and he could help take care of the children for the next couple of days.
However, there was no place for her and Shi Peiran to live here.
"Sister Zhuang, since Director Lu isn't here, why don't you and the children move back home first?" she suggested. "That way, I won't have to keep running back and forth."
"This..." Zhuang Qingxiang frowned slightly and said apologetically, "Yongxian, could... I take the child there every morning?"
Sun Yongxian sighed inwardly. She knew it; it wouldn't be easy for Sister Zhuang to move back without a man. Director Lu had oversimplified things.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "Sister Zhuang, actually it's just that the children are moving back with me. You don't need to go back; aren't you supposed to be staying at the hospital with my child?"
"Don't you dare suggest that my Peiran stay with me at the hospital at night," Sun Yongxian interjected. "My Peiran is busy in the clinic during the day, and then he has to go to the ward to watch over Director Lu at night... How can his body handle that? Sister Zhuang, only you can help with staying with him at night."
