Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 156

Chapter 156: No Longer Acquaintances, But Friends ( 1 )
Not only because Pan Meijia helped them without saying anything, but also because Pan Meijia had saved Lu Jueyu many times. If it weren’t for her warning, Lu Jueyu might have met with mishap.

Pan Meijia left Lu’s house on the bicycle while humming a song. When she went to borrow a bicycle from Comrade Han yesterday, he actually told her that he was willing to pick up Ling Yun on her behalf. But because they were not familiar with each other, Pan Meijia rejected his offer.

As she rode her bicycle, several villagers greeted her, especially aunts with unmarried sons at home. When they kept telling her how good their son was, she still didn’t take the hint at all, just as she did now.

“Meijia ah, where are you going so early in the morning?” a villager asked her with a smile.

“Good morning, Aunt Wang. I’m going to the county town.” Pan Meijia stopped her bicycle and greeted her politely.

“Do you want to buy something?” Aunt Wang asked again.

“No, I’m going to pick up my friend from the hospital.” Pan Meijia said with a smile.

“Oh. My son works at the county post office. If you need anything, just go to him. He is 23 years old, and he is never close with any girl. At his age, he is still so shy when talking to girls. You see, because of his marriage matter, my hair turns all white. I don’t know when I will see him bring a good girl home.” The villager sighed.

Pan Meijia didn’t know why these aunts liked to tell her about their family affairs so much. Although she was feeling awkward, she still listened to her chattering. After listening to the villagers’ complaints about her good son for a while, Pan Meijia let out an awkward chuckle and said, “Aunt Wang, it’s getting late. My friends are still waiting for me, so I’ll take my leave now.”

Aunt Wang realized that she had held her for too long and said, “Oh, look at me. Keep talking until I forget the time. Go and do your business, and be careful on the road.”

“Okay. Goodbye, Aunt Wang.” Pan Meijia said with a smile before leaving.

After she left, Aunt Wang was still standing there, looking at her back with a smile. When Pan Meijia first arrived in Xie village, everyone thought she would be arrogant and lazy like other female educated youths. Who knew that when Lu Jueyu got married, she would also come to help. Only then, they finally know that she was different from the others.

The more they interact with her, the more they like her personality. Although she can be outspoken at times, she is diligent, generous, and kind. Aunt Wang hopes to bring Pan Meijia back as her daughter-in-law.

While riding the bicycle, Pan Meijia suddenly felt a chill on her back and shivered. She rubbed her nose and tightened her cotton-padded jacket and scarf. The weather has been warm recently and she went out without a hat. So, her long braids flowed in the wind.

Almost an hour later, she finally arrived at the county town. When she went to the hospital, she looked at the state-run restaurant. Thinking of the hot soup dumplings she ate before, she swallowed. She should come later for breakfast before heading back to the village. After making the decision, she happily went to the hospital.

After parking her bicycle, Pan Meijia went to the counter to pay Ling Yun’s hospitalization fee, and then went to Ling Yun’s ward. Since it was still early, there was no one at the counter yet. The nurse saw her, smiled and asked, “Comrade, is there anything I can do for you?”

“Good morning, comrade. I want to pay the hospitalization fee for Ling Yun, a patient in ward 118.” Pan Meijia said as she took out her purse.

“Please wait a minute.” The nurse said and went to check the information files.

After a while, the nurse took out a piece of paper, filled in the data, and calculated the cost. After that, she put the piece of paper and a bag of medicine on the counter and said, “Comrade, here are the payment details. The total hospitalization fee is 39 yuan and the medicine fee is 55 yuan.”

Pan Meijia nodded, paid, took the medicine bag, and asked, “Comrade, can I find the doctor in charge of the patient?”

“Of course. The patient is under Dr. Yu’s care. You can find Dr. Yu in his office on the second floor,” the nurse said.

“Okay, thank you, comrade.” Pan Meijia nodded and said with a smile.

“You’re welcome.”

After paying the hospital fee, she went to the second floor and read the nameplates on the door one by one. After a while, she found the doctor’s office and knocked on the door. Not long after, a man’s hoarse voice came from inside, “Come in.”

Pan Meijia opened the door and said, “Doctor Yu, good morning.”

Dr. Yu stopped yawning suddenly when he saw a young girl walking into his office. He awkwardly lowered his raised hands, coughed to hide his embarrassment, and said, “Good morning, comrade. Please have a seat.”

Pan Meijia suppressed her laughter and closed the door. The doctor looks like a panda with dark circles under his eyes. After sitting down, she said, “Doctor, I am a friend of Ling Yun, the patient in ward 118.”

Doctor Yu nodded, took out a folder, and said with a smile, “He can be discharged from the hospital today. Do you have anything to ask?”

“Is there anything I should pay attention to about his injuries?” Pan Meijia asked.

“Try to avoid eating heavy-flavored, greasy foods. Eat more meat, fish, chicken, beans or nuts to replenish the blood. Don’t let his wounds get wet until the wounds scab. Also, don’t lift heavy objects for at least three weeks. Although his bones are not broken, his muscles and joints are injured. The dressing must be changed once a day.” Dr. Yu said after looking at Ling Yun’s information.
