Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 469 - Chapter 469 Chapter 469 Exposed_1

Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Exposed_1 Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Exposed_1 With fractures and external injuries, Nan Fei spent the whole day in a daze, with no appetite to eat. In the evening, Zhang Fengmei personally went to the canteen to borrow a pot and cooked a little rice porridge, which Nan Fei forced herself to drink a little.

When Lu Xiang came online for a ward visit, Zhang Fengmei specifically asked when she could normally eat and if there were any dietary restrictions.

Of course, there were dietary restrictions!

Nan Fei’s preferences leaned towards spicy food, but currently, she was forbidden to satisfy her cravings with spicy and stimulating food.

After Lu Xiang left, Nan Fei saw Chen Qi poking his head in from outside to visit, so she hurriedly called him in.

“Chen Qi!” Zhang Fengmei had an impression of this young man. He had helped her the last time when she couldn’t see, and she recognized him by his voice.

“You two chat for a while. I will go wash the pot and bowls and return them to the canteen master.”

When Zhang Fengmei left, Chen Qi visibly relaxed. Seeing Zhang Fengmei now scared him more than their leader! After all, she was the first person he had seen dare to speak so bluntly to their leader.

“Have a seat!” Nan Fei greeted with a smile.

“Thank you, sister-in-law!” Chen Qi said with a complex expression as he sat down.

“Did Huo Beijiang ask you to stay at the hospital?” Nan Fei took the initiative to say: “My mom is here to take care of me now, so there’s no need to bother you.”

“That won’t do! Our leader gave me an order, I must carry it out.” Chen Qi said seriously. After speaking, he lowered his head, too embarrassed to look at Nan Fei.

She understood that to some people, orders were weightier than anything else. Since Chen Qi had said so, she didn’t want to force him otherwise.

“Where is your leader?” He hadn’t returned since he left in the morning.

“He’s out on a task!” Chen Qi originally wanted to say that their leader had been driven out by Zhang Fengmei, but feared his loose tongue would land their leader in trouble, so he chose to remain silent in the end.

“What caused the injury on your leader’s arm?” Nan Fei began to probe. She had already noticed something wrong with Huo Beijiang’s right arm that morning, and knew he wouldn’t admit it if she asked.

Although she didn’t ask, she had it in her heart all day! She just couldn’t let it go.

“You know?” Chen Qi really fell for it, indignantly responding: “It’s all because of that woman Shi Ying, she’s too despicable! If it weren’t for her, our leader wouldn’t have been injured!”

“Injured!” Nan Fei was stunned, pressing her red lips to prevent herself from crying out. “He’s injured? Why didn’t he take proper treatment? Why wasn’t he hospitalized?”

“The doctor did suggest he be hospitalized! But our leader wouldn’t listen. What can we do!”

Nan Fei’s breaths became more rapid than usual out of anger.

You… Huo Beijiang!

How dare you disobey the doctor’s orders.

Such a serious thing as getting shot, and you dare not to tell.

Chen Qi noticed something was wrong with Nan Fei’s expression and belatedly realized that he may have caused trouble! Damn, the leader must not have told her, and now he had spilled the beans. Would the leader beat him up if he found out?

“Um… sister-in-law, you should rest early. I… I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first.” Without waiting for Nan Fei to respond, he sped out as if his feet were greased.

When Zhang Fengmei returned from washing the dishes and saw her daughter in good spirits, she helped her wash her face and clean her body, which made her a lot more satisfied.

Nan Fei’s face turned red throughout the process, “Mom, I can do it myself. Really!” She was all grown up now, and it felt too embarrassing to have her mother help her bathe.

“How can you do it yourself?” Zhang Fengmei glanced at her disapprovingly, “No matter how old you are, you’re still my daughter. In my eyes, you’re just like when you were little. Didn’t I help you take baths when you were young?”

Mentioning her childhood, Nan Fei was reminded of those days.

Back then in summer, they used large bath tubs and bathed in their courtyard.

There was no need to heat the water. As long as the tub was filled with water and exposed to the sun throughout the day, it was just right for a bath by evening.
