Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 999 - Chapter 999 Chapter 998 Injured

Chapter 999: Chapter 998 Injured Chapter 999: Chapter 998 Injured Households engaged in farm work would find their clothes soaked with sweat, turning them both dirty and smelly, before the day was even over.

Even the least meticulous households would change and wash their clothes daily.

There had been a heavy rain recently, and the river had risen well above its usual level. Lots of people gathered at the river to wash clothes and catch fish; thus, there were more people than usual, especially those fishing–at that time, virtually every family in the village had joined in.

Nan Fei felt her heart leap up fiercely, then plummet like a traveler falling off a cliff.

“I don’t know, I don’t know…” she murmured in pain. “Has everything really returned to the starting point? Is it true that my heart is too evil, too narrow-minded?”

She didn’t believe it, yet the reality was right there before her.

Whether to believe or to doubt, both were excruciating torments for her.

“Sister Nan Fei?” Jiang Yang looked at her, puzzled. “What’s wrong with you?”

Nan Fei shook her head. “I’m fine, let’s go home!” She took out her keys from her bag to open the door, quietly casting aside all the negative emotions in her heart.

36th Division, Family Quarters–

The family quarters of the 36th Division were spacious; many officers had their own houses–some large, others slightly smaller, but overall the conditions were quite good.

For instance, Huo Beijiang’s house came with its own small courtyard.

The house allocated to Ning Di was right next to Huo Beijiang’s, separated only by a wall in the courtyard. That arrangement initially had deeper implications.

At that moment in Ning Di’s house, several people stood with serious expressions on their faces.

Ning Di sat on a chair, his upper body bare, revealing a muscular chest and wheat-colored skin. A military doctor was performing the final suturing on his wound–a glaring scar that pierced through his left shoulder, looking shocking.

The medic, a burly man, didn’t even administer anesthesia as he sutured the wound, his hands heavy and careless. From time to time, the pain made Ning Di purse his thin lips, shooting the doctor a warning glare.

Lu Jin couldn’t stand it any longer; he glared fiercely with eyes as innocent as Little Deer’s and said forcefully, “Be gentle, why aren’t you using anesthetic?”

“The infirmary ran out of anesthetic, we’ll get a new supply tomorrow.”

Yu Xiaoxiao spoke with a solemn expression, “Since when has our 36th Division become so poor that we can’t even afford anesthetic?”

The military doctor felt wronged. “Nonsense, who doesn’t envy our 36th Division for having the best treatment?”

“So it’s your negligence? You didn’t restock on time?”

All the medical supplies in the army’s infirmary were specifically allocated, and could be restocked through normal procedures.

The doctor kept suturing while defending himself aggrievedly. “Not at all! Recently, everyone has been training so hard that the incidence of injuries has greatly increased, leading to a shortage in the infirmary’s supplies.”

“Oh!” Yu Xiaoxiao nodded, speaking nonchalantly, “In that case, from now on, don’t use anesthetic for those little brats.”

After saying this, he gestured toward Ning Di with his chin. “Like Captain Ning here.”

The military doctor almost couldn’t stop himself from shedding a sympathetic tear for those little brats.

Brutal! That was simply too brutal.

Let’s see how they’ll boast now.

“Don’t worry! I’ll make sure it’s done,” the doctor agreed readily, also being aware of his heavy hand and the seriousness of Captain Ning’s wound, so he hastened his pace. Once he finished suturing, he used white gauze and medical tape to dress the wound properly.
