Chapter 371: Chapter 371 Sorting Out Sister
No matter how the two old n argued, Tang Chuxia found herself with much more leisure ti. As the old n bickered, they kept the others busy.
Tang Chuxia was dragged outside by Gu Beihuai for so fresh air and rest, while Father Gu went to find Mrs. Gu.
Gu Nanzhi complained to Gu Beihuai, “What kind of husband are you? You let our Xiaxia get so tired!”
Gu Beihuai was so angry he almost lost it with his sister, almost giving her a knock on the forehead.
“How could you ‘take care’ of her like this?”
It’s no wonder Gu Beihuai was infuriated; he saw that although Tang Chuxia wasn’t as tired as before, she wasn’t much better off.
Feeling guilty, Gu Nanzhi touched her nose, “I’ve been very caring, it’s Xiaxia who wouldn’t refuse people, what could I do?”
Just as Gu Beihuai was about to lecture his sister, Tang Chuxia grabbed his arm to stop him.
“Zhizhi did nothing wrong, you mustn’t scold people randomly. If you have to scold soone, scold !”
Gu Beihuai was startled by Tang Chuxia’s reaction; she was about to cry.
Gu Nanzhi also felt deep sympathy on the side.
“Brother, you really are sothing, not knowing how to take care of your own wife, yet you scold !”
Tang Chuxia waved at Gu Nanzhi, signaling her to leave quickly, as she was here!
Realizing Tang Chuxia must have had a plan, Gu Nanzhi did not linger and stuck her tongue out at Gu Beihuai, “I’m going to tell Mom on you, saying you made Xiaxia cry!”
Gu Beihuai: …
If this sister of his wasn’t born to the sa mother, he could have thrown her out and given her a beating.
Once Gu Nanzhi vanished, Gu Beihuai tapped Tang Chuxia’s head, “Stop pretending, she’s gone!”
Tang Chuxia chuckled.
She wasn’t really about to cry; it was just to give Gu Nanzhi a chance to flee.
Resigned, Gu Beihuai pinched Tang Chuxia’s cheek, “Tell , whose wife are you? You’d rather shield your sister-in-law than , even though it was for whose sake I scolded her?”
Tang Chuxia swung his arm, “You don’t understand, this is for family harmony. Think about it, if it were you, would you like it if your good friend only thought about n, and not herself?”
Gu Beihuai coughed lightly, “No need to put it so bluntly, I know you miss !”
Tang Chuxia: …
She was just making a comparison, how did it end up as missing him?
But now was not the ti to clarify, Tang Chuxia truly was tired, and considering they were at the hospital, it wasn’t appropriate to slump over Gu Beihuai’s back, she simply let him find a less crowded place for her to rest a while.
Gu Beihuai planned to take Tang Chuxia straight ho, as resting well in the hospital was impossible, and it would be better at the Zheng Family’s ho.
But Tang Chuxia expressed, “What ti is it now? We just got a lot more patients; even my master wouldn’t have co if it wasn’t necessary. Wouldn’t it be too unkind if I left now?”
Although Tang Chuxia appeared indifferent, her current behavior demonstrated that wasn’t really the case; she paid attention to many details.
Taking care of everyone’s emotions.
Gu Beihuai had no choice but to take Tang Chuxia back to the resting room, yet there were still people there, all exhausted staff mbers. Tang Chuxia didn’t want to disturb them, suggesting they could sit in Mrs. Gu’s office for a while.
“It’s not that she didn’t want to lie down in the rest room; it’s just that the snoring inside was too terrifying.”
Tang Chuxia couldn’t bear it.
Mrs. Gu was also very tired. Delivering babies wasn’t just any job, and as a director, she mostly dealt with cases lacking confidence in childbirth, many of which had minor issues, making Mrs. Gu’s reassurance crucial.
Moreover, because of Mrs. Gu’s position, she was more widely recognized, and her workload was imnse.
The family gathered in the office, each person’s face marked with fatigue.
“How is the situation outside?”
Mrs. Gu had been at the hospital continuously and hadn’t paid much attention to the external situation. Father Gu and Beihuai had just co back from outside and naturally knew what was happening.
“The flood is still rising; at this rate, it will take so ti before it stops.”
That ant the city would remain soaked in floodwaters, and with the rain, the life of those who stayed would beco even harder. Staying in the hospital was definitely not suitable.
“You all should go ho soon. Don’t stay at the hospital, after a flood, the thing I fear most is an epidemic, and the hospital is ground zero. I can’t look after you here!”
Mrs. Gu imdiately told Beihuai, “Your grandfather gave a house on the higher grounds, right on the mid-slope. You all go rest there!”
Mrs. Gu’s family used to be quite wealthy early on and included a house in her dowry. That house had always been seldom inhabited, only occasionally visited for cleaning. Sotis, they rested there for a bit when weary.
They were all busy before and hadn’t thought about going there, but now that Mrs. Gu ntioned it, Beihuai thought of it.
“I arranged for Qin Zhan and his mother to stay there yesterday. We also prepared quite a lot of food, and Haipeng’s family is there too.”
When Beihuai finished, he worried Mrs. Gu might be upset, but Mrs. Gu said, “That’s good, having soone there earlier to prepare is also good, and anyway, we have plenty of rooms to accommodate everyone!”
Mrs. Gu wasn’t angered by her son’s action-first-report-later approach; instead, she told Father Gu, “Your workplace probably doesn’t need you right now either; you should head over too!”
Father Gu didn’t dare object as staying in the hospital would definitely worry his wife.
“Alright, it’s getting late. You all should head there quickly. If you delay further, it will be hard to travel!”
Mrs. Gu urged them, but Tang Chuxia wanted to stay.
“Aunt Hong, my master has arrived, and if I leave now, it wouldn’t look good for him. Let Beihuai take Zhizhi and the others over for a good rest. I’ll stay here with Aunt Hong!”
Mrs. Gu was reluctant to let her go, but considering Elder Huang ca over to support the dical team and Tang Chuxia was his student, it was indeed tough to just leave.
“Alright, I have a dormitory here; we can stay here together, mother and daughter!”
Mrs. Gu was confident that looking after Tang Chuxia wouldn’t be a problem, especially with Elder Huang around; nothing would happen to Tang Chuxia.
Gu Nanzhi also wanted to stay, but Mrs. Gu disagreed: “You can’t treat patients here, and soone would have to look after you, go with your father!”
Beihuai felt for Tang Chuxia and wanted to stay too, but Mrs. Gu said, “Don’t add to the chaos here. The two of us can look after each other. If you stay, who will handle your responsibilities?”
Though it seed Beihuai had no official job, he was actually quite busy, sothing Mrs. Gu was well aware of.
Beihuai could only urge Tang Chuxia not to overexert herself and to take good care of herself before he reluctantly left.
After all, he and Tang Chuxia had been inseparable since their marriage.
Once everyone was gone, Tang Chuxia hugged Mrs. Gu’s arm: “Aunt Hong, am I your little quilted jacket close to your heart?”
Mrs. Gu, chuckling, pinched Tang Chuxia’s nose: “You’re not my little quilted jacket, you’re my precious daughter-in-law!”
Tang Chuxia: … That’s also true!
