“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have misunderstood you.” Fu Ziheng’s face was filled with embarrassment and guilt.
Yang Tiehua threw herself into his arms. “Brother Ziheng, it’s my fault too. I shouldn’t have joked like that with my dad and caused you to misunderstand.”
Fu Ziheng slowly raised his hand and gently placed it against her back. “It’s over now, Tiehua. Let’s report this to the police.”
What had happened today had already seriously violated the law. People like this could not be allowed to remain.
The moment they heard the word “police,” the male doctor, who had still been writhing on the floor, immediately tried crawling toward the exit. Yang Tiehua noticed at once and hurled a tray directly at his head.
With a loud bang, he passed out on the spot.
As for the female nurses, Yang Tiehua had already beaten them until they were too weak to even crawl.
“Brother Ziheng, wait here for me. I’ll go get the police.”
But before Yang Tiehua could finish speaking, several figures dressed in military green uniforms rushed in.
“Comrade Tiehua, are you alright?”
It was Zheng Chao bringing the police officers over.
The moment she saw them, Yang Tiehua was instantly overjoyed.
“Doctor Zheng, you really arrived just in time! Officers, I want to report them. They tried to steal my husband’s kidney, and when my husband tried to escape, they even broke his leg.
Wuuuu, officers, my husband has suffered terrible physical and emotional trauma. He’s the pillar of our family. We still have two children at home, and I’m even carrying two more babies in my belly. Now my husband’s leg is broken, how am I supposed to live like this?
Officers, please help me!”
Yang Tiehua’s tears came instantly, and she cried so miserably that it sounded utterly heartbreaking.
The female officer leading the group immediately became emotional herself and quickly supported her.
“Comrade, don’t worry. We will absolutely help you obtain the compensation you deserve from these people.”
“Thank you, Officer. You’re truly a living Bodhisattva. I’ll kowtow to you!”
Yang Tiehua became so emotional that she looked ready to kneel, but the officer hurriedly stopped her.
“Protecting citizens’ rights is our duty.
Doctor Zheng, I’ll have to trouble you to help examine this injured comrade and provide an injury assessment report. We’ll use it to help him claim proper compensation.”
At that moment, Yang Tiehua secretly blinked at Zheng Chao, her eyes full of pleading.
The corners of Zheng Chao’s lips unconsciously curled upward as he nodded.
“Understood, Officer. I’ll prepare the injury report as quickly as possible.”
The officers quickly took those people away.
The moment they left, Yang Tiehua collapsed onto the hospital bed. Her tears had long since vanished completely, yet she still cautiously asked, “Doctor Zheng, about my husband’s leg…”
“Yes, I understand. It was broken while he was trying to escape from them. I’ll prepare the injury report properly,” Zheng Chao cooperatively replied.
The instant she heard that, Yang Tiehua sprang upright and grabbed Zheng Chao’s clothes.
“Thank you, Doctor Zheng! You’re truly such a kind person. I believe good people like you will definitely receive good fortune in return!”
In this life, Doctor Zheng’s fate should finally change.
A person as good as him would surely save countless patients in the future.
“The one who should be saying thank you is me. If it weren’t for you, I probably wouldn’t even have been able to walk out of the police station safely,” Zheng Chao sincerely said.
“Doctor Zheng, it was only a small effort, there’s no need to thank me.” Yang Tiehua smiled.
“Then this was only a small effort for me as well.”
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Meanwhile, completely ignored at the side, Fu Ziheng’s face had turned as dark as the bottom of a frying pan.
Was she actually flirting with another man right in front of him?
He clenched his fists, wanting to step between them, but after glancing at his useless leg, he slowly loosened his fists again, bitterness spreading through his heart.
His injured leg would only become a burden to her. If she wanted to find another man in the future, then he had no right to stop her.
Instinctively, he tried turning around to leave. He reached for the crutch lying on the floor, but because his leg suddenly gave out, he fell heavily to the ground.
The sound immediately pulled Yang Tiehua’s attention back.
“Brother Ziheng, are you alright?”
With Zheng Chao’s help, Yang Tiehua quickly helped him back onto the bed.
Fu Ziheng avoided her gaze. “I… I’m fine.”
“Mr. Ziheng, were you trying to go to the restroom? I can take you there,” Zheng Chao thoughtfully offered.
“No, I just didn’t want to interrupt your conversation,” Fu Ziheng blurted out in the heat of the moment.
Only then did Yang Tiehua realize that her earlier behavior might have been inappropriate.
“Brother Ziheng, you’re my husband. No matter who I’m talking to, you would never be an interruption by my side.”
After saying that, she held Fu Ziheng’s hand and turned toward Zheng Chao.
“Doctor Zheng, could I trouble you to arrange an examination for my husband? I want to see whether his leg can still recover.”
Zheng Chao nodded. “Of course. I’ll have someone bring over a wheelchair shortly. Later, you can push him to the examination room.”
“Alright, thank you, Doctor Zheng.”
After Zheng Chao left, Yang Tiehua smacked her forehead.
“Brother Ziheng, it’s all because I’m too dumb. I can’t believe I never thought about getting you a wheelchair before.
Later I’ll ask Doctor Zheng how much one costs, and I’ll buy one.”
The moment he heard that, Fu Ziheng quickly objected.
“No, wheelchairs are very expensive.”
“Even if it’s expensive, we still need one. It’ll make things much more convenient.”
“Tiehua, actually, I can make one myself. Once I see a wheelchair later, I can study it and buy the materials to build one. That’ll be much cheaper.”
In truth, Fu Ziheng had already thought about making a wheelchair before.
But previously, they had no money, and some materials could not even be found in the county town, making it impossible.
Now that they are in the provincial capital, those materials should definitely be available.
“That’s right! Brother Ziheng, your hands are the most skilled. Then later I’ll ask the nurse for paper and pen so you can draw the wheelchair design and list the materials. After your examination, I’ll go buy everything.”
Since it could save money, Yang Tiehua naturally would not refuse.
Besides, Fu Ziheng was a future scientific research genius. None of his talents should be buried.
This time, she absolutely had to secure him an opportunity to enter a research institute.
That was right. One of the reasons she brought Fu Ziheng to the provincial capital for treatment was to see whether she could attract the attention of research institute mentors and let them discover his scientific talent.
After the examination was completed, they were told the results would only be available the next day. So Yang Tiehua took Fu Ziheng to the materials market to buy supplies for building the wheelchair.
Once they had almost finished shopping, Yang Tiehua suddenly said, “Brother Ziheng, I heard that electric wheelchairs already exist overseas. I wonder how they’re made. If only you knew how to make one too. Then when you’re alone, you wouldn’t have to push yourself around so hard. You could just drive it like a small car by pressing an accelerator.”
Hearing this, inspiration suddenly flashed through Fu Ziheng’s mind.
“I think we can try it. Tiehua, let’s go check the scrap station.”
“Alright, let’s go.”
Yang Tiehua had already known that if she casually brought up the idea, Brother Ziheng would definitely start figuring out how to build one himself.
After all, the intelligence of a future research genius was far beyond ordinary people.
She firmly believed that once this electric wheelchair was successfully created and appeared at the research institute, it would absolutely cause a sensation.
After all, in this era, electric wheelchairs could only be imported from overseas, and their prices were so high that ordinary people simply could not afford them.
