Chapter 77 The Capitalist's Daughter Marries Up to Xie Zhiyan

Just then, Wang Zhande, carrying a thermos, hurriedly came out of the cafeteria and rushed towards the inpatient building.

"My sister-in-law rushed over here with two children all by herself, and she hasn't even had a proper rest yet. She's already taking care of the leader right away. I don't know if her body can handle it."

Wang Zhande used to have many criticisms of Shu Ying, but after seeing the two children, all his opinions turned into admiration.

The hospital cafeteria has time restrictions; once the time is over, it will stop serving food.

He timed it perfectly, carrying a full bag of warm food, including food for both children as well as food for Shuying.

When we bring it back from the hospital, we only need to heat it up a little and it will be ready to eat right away.

After delivering the food here, he has to rush to Li Qingqing's place immediately.

Now that Xie Zhiyan and Duan Huaichuan have both fallen, these comrades-in-arms who fought side by side should take care of the military families together.

Shu Ying and Li Qingqing's child is still so young, and Wang Zhande feels a strong sense of mission.

What if he ends up like that someday?

He will get married sooner or later, and the same thing has happened to him. If others can help him more, his wife will have a much easier time.

Thinking of Li Qingqing's worried eyes, Wang Zhande unconsciously quickened his pace.

"Wang Zhande!"

He had just arrived at the hospital building and hadn't even climbed the stairs when someone called out to him.

Wang Zhande turned his head and saw Ye Zhanying with red eyes.

"Why aren't you keeping a close watch on Xie Zhiyan? What are you doing wandering around? How is he doing now?"

Wang Zhande was so nervous he could barely speak. Ye Zhanying worked in the medical unit.

She had been working for who knows how long, and Xie Zhiyan and Qi Zecheng had both been promoted, but she was still stuck in the same place.

It's not that she lacks ability, it's just that everyone has heard about her fiery temper.

If that temper really flares up, even the King of Heaven himself would get slapped twice.

Wang Zhande's head suddenly felt like it was going to explode; he felt like this old lady was just there to cause trouble.

But remembering that she had grown up with Xie Zhiyan since childhood and was also Chief of Staff Ye's daughter, Wang Zhande forced an awkward smile and said in a humiliating tone, "Hey, the commander hasn't woken up yet, and my sister-in-law is taking care of him all by herself. I was afraid they wouldn't be able to eat if we missed the designated time, so I came early to get the food."

Ye Zhanying kicked the wall next to her: "Shu Ying? She found her?"

Wang Zhande quickly waved his hand: "My sister-in-law came by herself. The commander missed her when he went over. She took the train a day earlier than him."

Ye Zhanying was both agitated and indignant: "What kind of mess is this? If you ask me, Xie Zhiyan is just being a jerk. Why did he have to go when he was already half-dead? He's lucky to be alive. If it were anyone else, they would be dead by now! I'm not even going to visit him in the hospital. I'll probably have to go to his memorial service with a wreath in my arms!"

Ye Zhanying had a loud voice to begin with, and when she couldn't control her emotions, her voice became even louder, attracting the attention of passersby.

Wang Zhande quickly waved his hands, saying, "My dear aunt, could you please keep your voice down? People coming and going in the hospital are watching. Anyone who doesn't know better would think the commander is dead! We've managed to save him with great difficulty, so let's not say such discouraging things here!"

Ye Zhanying sniffed, barely managing to hold back her tears.

"What did the doctor say?"

Wang Zhande glanced around and cautiously replied, "They only said he's out of danger, but we don't know when he'll wake up. It's possible—"

He hesitated, then stopped speaking. Ye Zhanying grew impatient: "Why are you so hesitant to speak? What could it be?"

Wang Zhande lowered his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "It's also possible that he will never wake up."

Ye Zhanying yelled "Damn it!" and slipped, nearly tumbling down the stairs.

Wang Zhande reacted quickly and caught her.

"Comrade Ye Zhanying, are you...are you alright?"

Ye Zhanying gripped the railing with one hand, her voice suddenly rising eight octaves.

"What do you mean by 'can't wake up'? If he just keeps sleeping like this, won't he get bedsores on his bottom?"

Wang Zhande: ...

Is this...is this the important point?

Before he could speak, Ye Zhanying continued cursing, "Other people get married and have a wife, kids, and a warm bed, but Xie Zhiyan is different. Getting married has cost him his life. Why did he have to meddle in other people's business? The train was already in such a state, he should have just run away on two wheels of fire, why did he have to take care of the masses?"

Ye Zhanying said angrily, "How can his character be so noble? So all our hearts are black, and only his is red? If he suddenly died here, would the people he saved come to mourn him or waile? If he died at his age, there wouldn't even be anyone to carry a white banner."

Wang Zhande maintained a polite smile, not daring to utter a single word.

What could he possibly say to this old lady?

What else could he say?

"They said they went there to find a wife, but they didn't find one and almost lost their lives. If you ask me, a capitalist's daughter should be left to her own devices. Flies don't land on eggs without cracks. If they really had no problems, how could they possibly trace it back to their family?"

Wang Zhande's smile cracked slightly: "We don't know about that, but who doesn't have some shit under their butt? We're all equal."

Ye Zhanying gave him a disdainful look: "Can't you speak more politely? Is this the kind of word you use for equality? If you ask me, you're such a roughneck, you'll never find a wife in this lifetime."

As she spoke, she walked forward anxiously: "Yes, everyone has their little secrets, but if someone else has their weakness in their hands, are they completely innocent? I felt there was something wrong when they got married, and I opposed Xie Zhiyan fulfilling his marriage agreement with the Shu family a long time ago."

Wang Zhande could only follow closely behind her. He couldn't say much about the leader's affairs, and could only nod repeatedly.

"Even if the Shu family is a prominent and wealthy family, they are not necessarily a desirable match. Otherwise, why would their daughter marry a roughneck like us? Back when the two of them got married, many people said that Shu Ying was marrying down, praising her and belittling the Xie family."

Ye Zhanying grew increasingly angry as she spoke: "Bah! A capitalist's daughter, isn't she just marrying above her station!"

As they approached Xie Zhiyan's ward, Ye Zhanying was still ranting and raving.

Wang Zhande was on the verge of collapse.

Some people say this old lady is a bit dim-witted, and she doesn't care who the other person is. She never talks behind people's backs, and if she has anything to say, she tells them everything clearly in front of the person in question, like spilling beans.

With her temperament and personality, how could she not offend people?
