Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 472

Chapter 472: Chapter 359: Aftermath

Returning to the emergency room, if Zhou Jiao had any lingering dissatisfaction with her mother, it was now completely dispelled by Lin Lishan’s selfless rescue.

She refused the suggestion from the medical staff, insisting they deal with Lin Lishan’s wound first. Her father’s rough patch-up earlier made her unsure if her mother’s head might have any issues.

Zhou Jiao stretched her limbs and found herself unhurt. She turned to Lin Lishan with a smile and said, "Mom, don’t cry. It looks too ugly. I’ll accompany you shopping tomorrow. Wherever you want to go, I’ll go with you. From now on, I won’t make you angry. If you tell me to go east, I won’t go west! If you tell me to chase a dog, I won’t chase a chicken!"

"Stop with the sweet talk, just lay down and rest." Zhou Xiaozheng frowned with concern, seeing her start to squirm once her mood lifted.

"Dad, will Mom’s face be disfigured? It would be a shame if such a beautiful woman got disfigured." Zhou Jiao, knowing her father’s mood wasn’t good, purposely teased him.

Zhou Xiaozheng saw Zhang Guoqing helplessly preventing their daughter from getting out of bed and laughed to himself. ——Where did that murderous aura go?

Nearby, a doctor laughed and said, "No need to ask your dad; I guarantee you’ll still have a beautiful mother."

His words made the surrounding nurses laugh out loud.

"Mom, why aren’t you saying anything? Did you turn stupid? Brother, quickly check if Mom can tell one from two! Could she have been hit so hard she forgot who we are?"

Zhang Guoqing was at a loss for words. Wasn’t all this fuss just her trying to get out of bed?

"Squeak..." Lin Lishan struggled with the blood on her lips, unable to speak. She quickly made a sound, lest people really think she’s turned stupid.

Seeing this, everyone laughed.

The doctor stifled his laughter. He quickly finished dressing the wound and instructed a nurse to fetch water for Lin Lishan to wash her face.

"All right, your mom’s wound isn’t serious. It’s just a bit of skin damage, which looks scary because of all the blood, but that’s all tears. Take these medicines home and let her rest for a few days. If there’s any vomiting, come back to the hospital immediately. And how about you? Still not in any pain? Not afraid of injections, are you?"

As soon as he finished, Zhou Jiao covered her mouth, trying not to laugh out loud. She quickly pushed Zhang Guoqing away, stepping down onto the floor. She had to prove to the doctor that she wasn’t hiding any health issues.

"Aside from some pain in my elbow and some bruising on my knees, there’s no problem." Zhou Jiao walked back and forth twice with a cheerful smile. Her poor knees were injured because her mother tried to protect her. When her mother collapsed on top of her, it almost broke her bones.

Zhou Xiaozheng saw her walking naturally and gestured to Zhang Guoqing to quickly stand outside the door.

Facing the teasing eyes of the doctor, he felt a bit embarrassed. ——There was too much commotion just now.

In the car, the family avoided the topic of the Lin Family.

Zhou Jiao joked that her mother finally had some time off again and suggested her dad arrange a car for her. With her dad working these two days, she planned to take her mom out to nearby towns for some sightseeing.

This plan immediately brought a broad smile to Lin Lishan’s face, allowing Zhou Jiao to breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded in agreement. Letting them go out for a few days to forget the shadows of the past and relax their minds would be beneficial. He didn’t want his soft-hearted family to meddle with this heap of troublesome affairs; he had endured enough.

In the Big Courtyard, when the rumors about the Lin Family were flying high, Zhang Guoqing was already driving, taking his mother-in-law, wife, children, and Aunt Chen the nanny out.

Three days later, Lin Lishan began work, and there was still no word from the Lin Family. ——Zhou Xiaozheng didn’t bring it up, and Zhang Guoqing remained on the lookout.

As time passed day by day, their courtyard mates began preparing travel equipment, enticing Zhang Guoqing and his wife to join in accompanying the elders to beat the heat.

After the incident, many extended goodwill towards Zhou Xiaozheng and his daughter. Regardless of the sincerity of these goodwill gestures, with the Lin Family on the verge of retirement, it was undoubtedly a situation where everyone kicked the collapsing wall.
