Chapter 147: Nurturing an Older Brother
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
According to the timeline of her previous life, her father broke his leg while working at his part-time job. From then on, her brother had to take on the heavy burden of being the breadwinner of the family and started to do odd jobs everywhere. It took a great toll on his physical well-being, where he bore a lot of pressure on his shoulders, quite literally. He often did not eat well and cared only about making more money.
It was also because of this that her brother’s stomach had a ticking time bomb. When she found out, her brother was already in the final stage of stomach cancer.
Thinking of this, Xia Wan was even more determined to make her business succeed. She wanted to train her brother well so he wouldn’t have to do hard labor.
“Dad, Mom, don’t worry. I’ve earned almost 10000 yuan in the past few days from selling clothes. Since I performed the surgery for Dad, the hospital didn’t charge me. According to the director, I’m already a doctor at this hospital. I’m just using the space, so there’s no need to spend extra money.
“Dad’s daily fluid transfusion and medicine will be deducted from my salary, so our family doesn’t need to pay a single cent. Dad, the most important thing for you now is to take care of your body. Even your meals are discounted. I’m now considered an employee of the hospital.”
After Xia Wan’s explanation, the family’s atmosphere became more relaxed, and the pressure on everyone’s heads slowly dissipated.
Yan Han even asked with a smile on her face, “Wanwan, now that you’re an employee of the hospital now, does that mean you can enjoy such benefits?”
Xia Wan nodded. “Of course. I’ve heard that after working at the hospital for a few years, they will even assign you a house.
Yan Han was even more surprised. “They’re even talking about housing allocation? This hospital is really a blessing.”
As Xia Wan bombarded them with good news, everyone was smiling. She was not lying when she said that they would be allocated a house. After working in the hospital for five years, the doctors would always be allocated a house. This hospital would be very successful in the future and would gradually be classified as a state-owned enterprise with the help and support of the state.
Now that she could have a title there, it would be good for both her and the hospital. Even if the doctors had served for less than five years, there was room to get this privilege if they performed exceptionally well.
Those who owned houses would choose to reward them with cash.
In short, the working conditions of the hospital were more than fair. The better one performed, the more benefits one would get. This would also be beneficial to forming a healthy competitive relationship between employees.
Xia Wan and the others stayed with Xia Hai in the hospital for the entire day. They only resumed business the next day.
Xia Wan had just set up her stall when she met Zhou Tian, who was rushing over.
Xia Wan looked at him in surprise. “Mr. Zhou, you’re here to buy clothes too?”
Zhou Tian shook his head. He panted and said, “Ever since we installed a surveillance camera in our house, I’ve been checking every day. But last night, I found that Luo Xing had smeared something on Rou’s new clothes. Fortunately, I saw it and quickly snatched the clothes from Rou’s hands. I told her that it didn’t look good and didn’t let her wear it.”
Zhou Tian took out the clothes in his hands as he spoke and handed them to Xia Wan. “Look, this is the dress. It has a great design. I also heard from Rou that she came to your stall and bought a few pieces. This dress must have come from your stall, right?”
Xia Wan took the clothes and sniffed at them. She could tell that there was something wrong with them. Her expression turned serious as she said to Zhou Tian, “There’s some special powder in it. It’s fine if an ordinary person wears it, but with Sis Xiaorou’s current condition, she’ll be itchy and uncomfortable.
“At the same time, it will also worsen Sis Xiaorou’s condition. Of course, I think
Luo Xin’s goal is to sow discord between Sis Xiaorou and me. After all, Sis Xiaorou bought this dress from my stall. If something happens to her, it must be a problem with my dress.
“It’s a good thing that Mr. Zhou placed a surveillance camera in the house in advance, or we wouldn’t be able to find a good explanation.”
After hearing Xia Wan’s analysis, Zhou Tian’s face turned cold. “Luo Xing has crossed the line. Rou’er has always been good to her and treated her like her own sister. She would give her a share of everything she has. However, not only was she not satisfied, she even wanted to harm Rou. She must be the one who drugged her..”
