Chapter 123 Treating a Scumbag Husband Like a Money-Spitting Machine

Every 40 minutes, a doctor would come to check on Duan Huaichuan's condition. In addition to the normal IV infusion, there were also some monitoring instruments.

While taking care of the child, Zhong Yun'er also had to run around paying various fees for Duan Huaichuan.

Although the money was all paid by her workplace, running up and down the stairs like this made her legs almost thin.

"Huaichuan, you must wake up soon. Li Qingqing saw how sick you are and didn't want to take care of you anymore. She went to hide away and be quiet by herself, but I can't give up on you."

She spoke eloquently while simultaneously avoiding the things she could do.

The wonderful feeling she had when she arrived at the hospital vanished like a bubble. She had imagined things too beautifully, thinking that there would be caregivers in the hospital, and she would just sit next to them, pour them a glass of water when needed, or wipe Duan Huaichuan's face.

But reality is harsh.

She was already exhausted from just filling those two cups of water. When had she ever done such heavy work at home?

Thinking of Li Qingqing's hateful face when she left, Zhong Yun'er almost bit her back teeth to pieces.

That gloomy woman will one day completely belong to Duan Huaichuan, and then she'll leave Li Qingqing with nowhere to cry.

As Li Qingqing walked back, she happened to run into Shu Ying, who was bringing her child out of Xie Zhiyan's ward.

Seeing her heading into the corridor, Yangyang excitedly ran towards her.

"Aunt Qingqing, what are you doing here? Weren't you just taking care of Uncle Duan?"

Li Qingqing gently patted his head and met Shu Ying's gaze.

"Zhong Yun'er arrived in the capital at some point and is currently staying with Duan Huaichuan in his hospital room."

Shu Ying's eyebrows furrowed tightly; she and Xie Zhiyan actually looked somewhat alike.

For example, when two people encounter troubles, they will have the same tense expression.

"Zhong Yun'er? I heard about her this morning. Her husband sacrificed his life, and she's probably here to handle the funeral arrangements. Now she's a widow. Although I don't know how she got rid of the police in Shanghai, she shouldn't be able to cause any trouble now."

Shu Ying sighed softly, then looked at Li Qingqing with unease: "I didn't expect her to actually come to the hospital. It seems she's still up to no good. What are you going to do next?"

Compared to Shu Ying's deep worry, Li Qingqing was much better off.

"She volunteered to come and be a free caregiver, saying that Duan Huaichuan had been kind to her in the past. You know, I just gave birth and I'm so busy. Now that I have such a free nanny, wouldn't I be a fool not to use her?"

Shu Ying was amused by her words, and her serious expression disappeared.

She took Li Qingqing's arm and said, "That's exactly the mindset I want. We don't need to worry about Duan Huaichuan. At worst, we can just treat him as a money-making machine that makes money every month. We have so much hope for the future now."

Life in the military is much better than before. Although it can't compare to the Shu family's life, it's still a place that many ordinary people would kill to get into.

"The canteen here is open to family members, and there are many preferential policies. The hospital policies are even better. Otherwise, military families wouldn't be able to get all the benefits. If the children have any headaches or fevers in the future, they can get free medical care, so we won't have to spend much money. After all, this place is stable, and we won't have to worry about the children's schooling in the future."

Compared to the outside world where you have to make plans for everything, this place is like a utopia.

The two of them walked forward, each carrying a child: "By the way, I also heard today that there is a military service center in the military compound, just like the convenience store back home. This is quite convenient. Anyway, Xie Zhiyan's condition has stabilized now, and Duan Huaichuan won't die either. Besides, there is a 'caregiver' taking care of him. Why don't we go to the service center tonight?"

Since arriving in this place, they've had so many upsetting experiences that they haven't had a chance to properly familiarize themselves with their surroundings. Luckily, both of them are free tonight.

Li Qingqing also became interested: "I also heard from Xiao Jiang in the next bed that the things inside are quite complete and more affordable than those at the supply and marketing cooperative."

When it comes to shopping, women become very interested and unanimously think of the same place.

Yueyue and Yangyang couldn't help but start to look forward to it.

"Mom, Aunt Qingqing, why don't you take my sister and me with you? We've never been before, and we really want to see what's inside the service center."

Li Qingqing's two little ones pretended to be pitiful to amuse her: "You two clever little devils, I don't know who you take after? It's like you're catching snakes, you always manage to pinch Auntie's vital spot, and your sweet words are deadly."

Yangyang gave her a quick kiss on the cheek: "Because Auntie is pretty, that's why Yangyang's words are so nice. Mom says that when you see a beautiful woman, you should say lots of pretty things."

Li Qingqing's eyes were practically drooling with laughter: "Yingying, look at your two kids, they're practically little devils! Alright, alright, we'll take you there. Whatever toys you want, Auntie will buy them for you, okay?"

When Yueyue smiled, she revealed a row of neat, white teeth: "Thank you, Auntie. My brother and I will definitely help you take good care of little Tuantuan from now on."

In the ward, Zhong Yun'er made a lot of noise, chattering and banging around.

When it was time for Duan Huaichuan to take his medicine, she had forgotten which drawer he had put it in, and her chair bumped into the hospital bed.
