The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70

After Zhang Lao Er and his wife left, Xin Yi asked around for directions to the surgical ward, thinking she would familiarize herself with the environment first.

Xin Yi remembered that Feng Yi had mentioned the ward on the far left of the third floor, so she pretended to be looking for someone, took a stroll around the third floor, got a general idea, and then turned and left. At this time, she couldn't let anyone notice anything unusual.

Looking at the sky, Xin Yi realized the hospital should be closing soon. She remembered that Aunt Feng had said she would visit Sister Guihua in the ward after get off work, and she couldn't let her get there before her.

Xin Yi rushed back to the ward, thankfully Feng Hua hadn't arrived yet.

At this moment, Li Xiufen was eating. Xin Yi glanced at her food casually and, as expected, it was a bowl of corn porridge and a few green vegetables. She was also holding her newborn daughter in her arms. Meanwhile, Aunt Song was sitting in a chair taking a nap.

"Yiyi, why are you back so soon? Your second brother Zhang just got back from getting food, let's eat together!"

"Sister-in-law, you guys eat, I've made plans to go out for dinner with my friends later!"

Wu Guihua knew that Xin Yi knew people at the hospital, so she stopped trying to persuade her. "It's up to you then. If you're hungry, just eat something to tide you over. Anyway, your friend hasn't arrived yet!"

"Okay, sister-in-law, you'd better eat quickly!"

Not long after, Feng Hua arrived. "Hello everyone, I'm here to see Xin Yi!"

Li Xiufen didn't know Xin Yi or Feng Hua, so she didn't say anything. Aunt Song opened her eyes, glanced at them, and ignored them.

"Auntie, you're here!" Xin Yi ran over and took Feng Hua's hand.

"Yiyi, didn't I tell you I'd come over after get off work? Since we made a promise, of course you have to come! You haven't even introduced me to your sister-in-law and brother yet!"

Xin Yi took Feng Hua's arm and walked to the innermost part of the room. "Sister-in-law Guihua, Second Brother, this is the person I met at the hospital."

Wu Guihua looked up and saw that such an elegant woman must be someone of high status. She quickly helped Zhang Lao Er to his feet. "Hello, I am Yiyi's sister-in-law. May I ask your name?"

Feng Hua smiled and said, "Yes, I am Yi Yi's boyfriend's aunt."

"Oh, Yiyi, when did you get a boyfriend?"

Xin Yi looked embarrassed. "Well, I didn't have time to tell you, but Uncle Zhang knows."

Alright, since my father-in-law knows, then there's no problem.

"Since you are Yiyi's boyfriend's aunt, then we can only call you aunt. Aunt, please sit down."

"I've been sitting all afternoon, so standing for a while won't hurt. How's the food at the hospital cafeteria?"

"It's delicious, but it's a little pricey."

"There's nothing we can do about it. It's definitely not as cost-effective as buying groceries and cooking for ourselves. Most people who come to the hospital don't have time to cook for themselves, so they just have to make do. Oh dear, Yiyi came to tell me at noon that her sister-in-law is past her due date and hasn't given birth yet, so she thought she'd come and check on her. I asked her about it, and all your health indicators are very good. You should be able to have a C-section tomorrow. Don't be nervous, just take a nap and it'll be over. It's much more comfortable than a natural birth, and you won't have to suffer so much!"

"I really have to thank Yiyi for this. If she hadn't discovered the problem, I'd probably still be in the village giving birth, and whether I would have survived is still uncertain!"

Feng Hua looked at Xin Yi with appreciation and couldn't help but praise her, "I knew Yi Yi was a smart girl. Since you're at the hospital, nothing unexpected will happen. I see you two are having dinner."

"Yes, my husband got a taxi from the cafeteria. Oh, and the friend who made plans to have lunch with Yiyi is you, Auntie!"

“I didn’t realize it until you mentioned it. Now that you’ve brought it up, I’m actually feeling hungry. You guys eat first, and Yiyi and I will go out to get something to eat too.”

Wu Guihua knew the two of them must have something to talk about, so she didn't try to stop them. "Then please take care, Auntie!"

"By the way, Yiyi won't be sleeping in the ward tonight; she'll be sleeping at my place."

"OK, no problem."

"Then thank you for your trouble tonight, Brother Zhang. I'll come over early tomorrow morning and bring you breakfast!"

"Okay, what's this about hard work? Your sister-in-law is my wife, this is just what I should do!"

Zhang Lao Er was a bit reserved and didn't say anything else.

"Alright, alright, you two can be all lovey-dovey all you want. We're off now, see you tomorrow."

As Feng Hua and Xin Yi walked out of the ward, Feng Hua said, "Your sister-in-law and second brother are very loving. They'll be even happier after they have children!"

Xin Yi nodded in agreement, "Their love is real, and it will definitely be even better after they have a child!"

Feng Hua's expression suddenly changed. "By the way, what's going on in the next bed? That old lady doesn't look too good. There seems to be a hint of hatred in her eyes when she looks at you. You'd better be careful!"

"Well, how should I put it? I guess I was just meddling in other people's business. Brother Feng knows this family. It seems the old lady's son was Brother Feng's comrade-in-arms, but he has already died a heroic death. The woman in bed who gave birth is that comrade's wife, and she gave birth to a daughter."

"I knew it! Even though that child is still young, her features are already very beautiful. She'll definitely grow up to be a beauty!"

"It's a pity that her grandmother wasn't a good person. If Brother Feng hadn't happened to run into her, this child's mother might already be dead!"

Feng Hua was startled. "What's going on? Tell me!"

"This old lady's daughter-in-law suffered severe postpartum hemorrhage and needed a blood transfusion. When the old lady heard it would cost an extra ten yuan, she refused without even thinking, saying the mother should just fend for herself. The nurse offered to reduce the cost by half, just five yuan, but the old lady still couldn't bear to part with it. In the end, it was Brother Feng who said he would cover all of the mother's expenses, which saved her life, and..."

Xin Yi paused for a moment, then said, "In my opinion, if this mother continues to do nothing, this little baby girl will die even if she isn't sold to human traffickers by her grandmother!"

"Is it really that exaggerated? What era are we living in? They're still so sexist! Even the great man said that women hold up half the sky. I don't know how they still have these old ideas. It seems the Women's Federation isn't doing a very good job!"

Feng Hua looked thoughtful, as if she was planning something.

"Auntie, are we going to the hospital cafeteria now?"

"Let's go to a state-run restaurant for lunch. The hospital cafeteria probably doesn't have much food left at this hour."

"Okay, Auntie, let me treat you this time, hehe!"

"What do you mean you're inviting me? I'm an elder, and you're not even an adult yet. Why do you need to invite me to dinner? Wait until you're an adult and officially marry my son before you try to please me."

When the topic of marriage came up, Xin Yi blushed and dared not accept the answer.
