Chapter 586: Counterattack of the Original Female Lead 21
Wang Shufang was wheeled out of the operating room and into a ward.
The village chief’s wife didn’t want the whole family to miss out on earning work points because of her. She said to the village chief, the brigade leader, and her two sons, "You all don’t need to stay here. Go back to work, I’ll stay to watch over her."
The village chief’s wife took the initiative to care for Wang Shufang, making the brigade leader naturally happy. He, the village chief, and the Wang Brothers climbed on the tractor that had come to deliver vegetables and pick them up, and headed back to the village.
Once the brigade leader and the others left, the village chief’s wife’s expression turned horribly sinister. She reached out and viciously pinched Wang Shufang’s chest, cursing, "Useless thing, don’t know what wicked deed she did to get struck by lightning in both legs."
"Pah, a cripple wanting to marry my son; even if my son were a fool, he wouldn’t want you, a cripple. Luckily the wedding wasn’t held yet, otherwise you’d ruin my son for life. The Wang family doesn’t keep trash."
"You little wretch, you’re just not blessed enough to become my daughter-in-law."
With each curse from the village chief’s wife, a pinch followed.
When she was finally tired from pinching, the village chief’s wife sat down, muttering again, "What a rotten thing, doesn’t wake up even after all this pinching."
"Already a cripple, still wants to stay in the hospital wasting money. Pah, you little wretch, you just want to torment me, don’t you? I’ll pinch you to death."
She reached out and viciously pinched Wang Shufang’s waist.
Suddenly, an invisible force kicked the village chief’s wife hard, sending her flying across the room and slamming into the door.
Because of Wang Shufang’s special condition, the county hospital director specifically allocated her a single ward, so no one saw this scene.
The village chief’s wife endured the pain, climbed up, and looked around in fear, "Ghost, there’s a ghost, a ghost..."
She opened the door and ran out.
She bumped into the nurse who was coming to hang up an IV for Wang Shufang. Before the nurse could speak, the village chief’s wife ran away in a panic.
The baffled nurse called out, "Wang Shufang’s family member, where are you going? Wang Shufang needs an IV, you should stay to look after her."
"No, don’t find me, I... I won’t go in, there’s a ghost..."
The village chief’s wife fled in a flurry.
Her words were incoherent, and the nurse didn’t catch what she was saying.
The nurse entered the ward and saw Wang Shufang awake. She smiled, "You’re awake, comrade. How are you feeling now?"
"My legs hurt," Wang Shufang said with a painful frown, her eyes moist, "Nurse, I lost my legs. I don’t want to be a cripple who can’t walk. Does the hospital have prosthetic limbs? I’d like to get one."
"Ah, you want prosthetics?" The nurse was surprised, "Our hospital in this small place doesn’t have prosthetics. For prosthetics, you have to go to a big hospital, and they are quite expensive, like a thousand dollars."
"Money isn’t a problem. I’ll ask my parents to send it. If they don’t have it, they’ll borrow it. Nurse, could you help apply for a transfer to another hospital with your director? I must get prosthetics. I’m still so young, I don’t want to lie in bed and be a useless person all my life."
Actually, Wang Shufang was just asking tentatively, not expecting Hua Country to have prosthetics so early. She was delighted, not afraid to spend money, as her System Space had stored quite a few gold bars, exchanging some would provide the funds.
What she feared was having no prosthetics to install, forcing her to use a wheelchair to complete tasks.
The nurse looked at her sympathetically, "I’ll hang up your IV first before asking the director for you."
She continued, "By the way, was the woman who just ran out your mother-in-law? Seems she left, and there’s no one to take care of you here. I’ll report to the director to see if someone can be assigned to care for you."
