Qiao Liang blinked. When a man does business in the south, he must spend less time together and more separation. Does Jiang Xiuxiu lack nourishment and thirst? Or is the man rich and raising a mistress outside?
In the next few days, Jiang Xiuxiu accompanied Qiao Liang in the ward during the day, had dinner and chatted for a while in the evening, waited for Qiao Liang to go to sleep, then went back, and came early the next morning.
Jiang Xiuxiu felt that the food provided to patients in the hospital was not good, so she always went home to cook for Qiao Liang, and made pigeon soup once a day.
The rice cooked by Jiang Xiuxiu is delicious and the soup is delicious.
Qiao Liang was very grateful to Jiang Xiuxiu.
Fang Xiaoya has been talking about the project in Songbei for the past few days. She took the time to visit Qiao Liang and chat with Qiao Liang. She also got along well with Jiang Xiuxiu.
Zhang Mei didn't come again, and she didn't even make a call.
Qiao Liang's wound recovered quickly and he was able to get out of bed and walk back and forth in the corridor.
Fang Xiaoya and Jiang Xiuxiu were very happy.
This morning, the weather was very good. Qiao Liang, accompanied by Jiang Xiuxiu, took a slow walk on the lawn in front of the hospital building.
Looking up at the blue sky, Qiao Liang took a deep breath.
After walking for a while, Qiao Liang felt a little tired, so Jiang Xiuxiu suggested sitting under the promenade next to her.
Walking down the corridor, a girl in her 10s was sitting there. The girl looked very handsome, but her face was extremely pale and she stared blankly ahead.
An old woman sat next to the girl, combing the girl's hair while nagging: "Granddaughter, we have money, and your disease is finally cured, but this money was exchanged for other people's lives and your father's imprisonment...
"
Qiao Liang was a little surprised. He sat down and asked the old woman: "Auntie, what disease does your granddaughter have?"
The old woman sighed, lifted up her clothes and wiped her eyes: "My granddaughter has leukemia. In order to treat the disease, the family spent all their money and borrowed a lot of debt from relatives and friends. Alas, it's a bottomless pit."
Qiao Liang looked at the girl sympathetically and then at the old woman: "So, aunt, what about the man's life and his father's imprisonment that you just mentioned?"
The old woman sighed again and rambled: "My son drives a construction truck for a construction company in Jiangzhou. Not long ago, he hit and killed someone while driving under the influence of alcohol. He was arrested and will be sentenced. I heard that the person who was hit and killed
He is the richest man in Jiangzhou, the richest man, and we can’t afford to lose our whole family’s life...
Fortunately, my son's boss is a good man. He said that my son had an accident on the job and sent a sum of money to my family. This money is just for my granddaughter to continue her treatment. It's life-saving money. It's a crime. This money is not spent on other people's lives.
In exchange for going to jail with my son..."
At this time, the girl turned around and interrupted the old woman: "Grandma, the person who sent the money repeatedly told me not to tell others about this. What are you talking about?"
The old woman quickly stopped talking and took the girl away.
Qiao Liang was shocked. Obviously, this old woman's son was the driver who killed Fang Xiaoya's father!
A drunk driving accident will naturally bear criminal responsibility. Why should the boss of the construction company give the perpetrator's family a sum of money? If an accident occurs on the job, compensation should also be given to the Fang family. How should it be given to them?
Thinking of Fang Xiaoya's suspicion about his father's strange death, Qiao Liang felt that there was something fishy in it.
Looking at the backs of the old woman and the girl, Qiao Liang said to Jiang Xiuxiu: "Director Jiang, do me a favor. Find out which ward this girl lives in, and then go to the inpatient department to check her name and contact information. It's best to have
Detailed address."
Jiang Xiuxiu blinked: "Does Director Qiao want to save this girl?"
Qiao Liang smiled but said nothing.
Jiang Xiuxiu then went and came back soon, handing Qiao Liang a note: "I have my name and contact number, but my home address is not specific. I only know which township and village I am from, but I don't have any specific household."
Qiao Liang took it and looked at it, then put it in his pocket.
Around noon, Jiang Xiuxiu went home to cook, and Fang Xiaoya came.
Qiao Liang told Fang Xiaoya about the girl he met in the morning. Fang Xiaoya's eyes lit up and she carefully put the note away.
"Xiaoya, this is an important clue to find out the truth about your father's death. After you return to Jiangzhou, immediately go to Lao San and ask Lao San to secretly investigate the background identity of the construction company boss, including his social circle."
Fang Xiaoya bit her lips and nodded: "I will go back to Jiangzhou now and ask the third child to help me investigate immediately."
"This matter must be kept confidential. Before we find out the details of the construction company boss, don't alert the girl's family for the time being to prevent the news from spreading." Qiao Liang warned again.
Fang Xiaoya agreed and left in a hurry.
At this time, neither Qiao Liang nor Fang Xiaoya realized that today's unintentional discovery would become the fuse that ignited the political powder keg in Jiangzhou.
Another week later, under the careful treatment of medical staff and the careful care of Jiang Xiuxiu, Qiao Liang's body completely recovered. In the afternoon, the doctor completed the last examination and said that he could be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.
Qiao Liang was very happy. After staying in the hospital for so long, he was so depressed that he was finally released.
Jiang Xiuxiu was also very happy. She went home and cooked a few dishes. In response to Qiao Liang's repeated requests, she bought a few cans of beer and quietly brought them into the ward. The two began to have their last dinner before discharge.
The two clinked glasses with cans. Qiao Liang sincerely thanked Jiang Xiuxiu for taking care of her. Jiang Xiuxiu looked at Qiao Liang with a bit of nostalgia in her eyes.
Thinking of spending time with Jiang Xiuxiu these days, and thinking of breaking up tomorrow, Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.
"Director Jiang, remember to look for me when you go to the city in the future."
"Well, if you come to Songbei when you have time in the future, remember to see me."
At this time, Jiang Xiuxiu's cell phone rang. She checked the call and went to the bathroom with her cell phone.
After answering the call, Jiang Xiuxiu looked a little sad.
"What? What's the matter?" Qiao Liang asked.
"No, it's nothing." Jiang Xiuxiu concealed a smile and poured a bowl of pigeon soup for Qiao Liang, "Here, drink the soup..."
"Oh, I'm leaving tomorrow. If you give me pigeon soup, are you trying to let me go?" Qiao Liang joked.
Jiang Xiuxiu smiled unnaturally and said nothing.
After dinner, the two of them went downstairs for a walk and returned to the room. Just as Jiang Xiuxiu was about to go back, it suddenly started raining heavily outside.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, it was still raining.
The weather outside was bad, and Jiang Xiuxiu looked a little gloomy. Qiao Liang was worried that it would be unsafe for her to go back on her own, so he suggested that she stay in the ward. There was a bed specifically for the caregiver.
Jiang Xiuxiu nodded and lay down with her clothes on. Qiao Liang also fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, the rain stopped and Qiao Liang woke up. There was silence all around, and there was a gentle sobbing sound coming from the bed opposite.
Jiang Xiuxiu is crying.
Qiao Liang hurriedly got out of bed and sat in front of Jiang Xiuxiu's bed, looking at her through the moonlight outside the window. The woman's face was covered with tears.
"Why are you crying?" Qiao Liang patted Jiang Xiuxiu on the shoulder.
Jiang Xiuxiu didn't say anything, but raised her upper body, hugged Qiao Liang's waist, and pressed her face against Qiao Liang's legs.
Qiao Liang was a little at a loss and wanted to push Jiang Xiuxiu away, but felt it was inappropriate.
Women need comfort when they are sad.
"Lie down and stay with me." Jiang Xiuxiu said softly.
Qiao Liang lay down as instructed and lay together with Jiang Xiuxiu.
