Daily Life in the 70s-Chapter 288 Notification

Feng Erxi exchanged a glance with Guo Caixia and let out a sigh.

The two stopped talking and stood together, waiting at the door.

On the other side, it seemed there was some news. Cheng Aihua came running over, "Sister Ge’s condition has been stabilized by the doctors, but she’ll need to be hospitalized and observed for a few more days. As for the hospital admittance procedures and stuff, I’m not too clear on it. Sister Erxi, you all should go over and take a look."

Feng Erxi and Guo Caixia were busy again and hurried over to the other side.

It was then that Shen Yixiang managed to gather her wits and turned to ask Li Yue, "A pregnant woman was rushed in just now?"

Li Yue nodded, "Heard she’s from the Chinese Literature department, shares a dorm with Pei Min, too. Said she was spotting and was urgently brought over. Now, it seems she has stabilized."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yixiang’s eyes suddenly brightened, and she murmured, "If she is okay, my sister-in-law must be able to pull through too."

Li Yue nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Gao Lingfeng approached and said to Shen Yixiang, "You’re Yang’s family, right? I heard her husband also works around here, has he been notified?"

Shen Yixiang was stunned, then shook her head, "My brother is in the military. This situation, this matter, I don’t know... If he’s training and hears this news, if the leadership doesn’t let him come, it would probably... it would disturb his mind. I thought, I thought I’d wait until the news stabilized before telling him..." Right now, her mind was in total chaos, she didn’t even know what she was talking about, and she was afraid her brother would come, afraid he would look at her with disappointment in his eyes.

Gao Lingfeng frowned, loosened the scarf that was tied too tightly around his neck. His hair was a mess, and his clothes were wrinkled from the rush over, but even so, there was a solemn expression on his face that demanded attention, "If there needs to be a surgery, can you make decisions? Being calm in the face of adversity is a basic quality of a soldier. If you do not notify, it would be your responsibility. Whether or not your brother can come is a separate matter."

Li Yue also nodded and said to Shen Yixiang, "Indeed, Pei Min’s situation looks heartbreaking. Although we’re all here with her, she probably hopes that your brother could come to be with her. If..." She didn’t dare to finish the sentence, the possibility that the child might be lost.

Although Li Yue knew that the student from the Department of Chinese Literature had stabilized, she didn’t feel much comfort, because Yang Peimin’s condition was much more serious. Just by looking at her face, one could tell - how bad must Pei Min have been hurting at that time?

Shen Yixiang nodded numbly, letting Li Yue help her up to borrow a phone.

After Shen Yixiang left, Gao Lingfeng turned his head to look at the firmly closed doors of the emergency room and let out an almost imperceptible sigh.

He turned to face the students still waiting for news, "You all go back to class first. Someone will keep watch here; after school, someone can come by to check in." Mainly because there were too many people, it wasn’t good to have so many of them lingering at the hospital.

As a teacher, Gao Lingfeng’s words carried weight, so the students nodded and left.

When Shen Yixiang and Li Yue returned after making the call, they only saw Gao Lingfeng waiting outside and asked, "Is there any news?"

"No, I told them to go back to class."

Li Yue: "Mr. Gao has given me a day off. I’ll stay here and watch. Even if I went back now, I wouldn’t be able to focus."

Gao Lingfeng nodded imperceptibly and didn’t bother with her.

Feng Erxi, who had just gone to handle the admission procedures, came back with a troubled expression, hesitating to speak. She glanced at Gao Lingfeng, then over to Li Yue and Shen Yixiang.

However, with all three preoccupied with their own concerns, they hardly noticed her troubled face and just nodded in her direction.

Finally, Feng Erxi let out a sigh and walked back.

As she reached the doorway of Ge Sanni’s room, she ran into Guo Caixia coming out and saw her say, "They told you not to go, with them in such a state of urgency, you going there is just like getting a cold shoulder."

Feng Erxi stepped aside to let her out, and the two stood to one side. Feng Erxi shook her head, "I didn’t say anything." ƒreewebɳovel.com

Guo Caixia sighed, "Pei Min is still in there, not knowing her condition. She’s in a much worse state than Sanni. If you had dared to speak up and asked her with her temper, being scolded would be the least of your worries, you might even get hit. Didn’t you see her sister-in-law? She’s so worried; they’re all so anxious about Pei Min’s baby, her mother is also hanging onto this hope. You know, with things the way they are now, it’s likely..."

Feng Erxi nodded, "It’s such misfortune, just our luck to be caught in the middle. I won’t ask anymore; they’re already so troubled. I heard that the two people who bumped into Pei Min were the same ones carrying the stretcher for Sanni... All we can do is send a message to Sanni’s family, let them figure it out. We’ve done our best, even squeezed out half of this month’s food expenses..."

Guo Caixia agreed, "The hospital and nutrition fees are a major expense; her family will have to find a way. We can hardly take care of ourselves. I’ll go check on Pei Min; there’s nothing much to be done on Sanni’s end here, the IV won’t finish for a while anyway."

"Okay, you go. I’ll watch here."

Feng Erxi went into the ward, which was even noisier than outside, as it wasn’t a private ward, with nearly ten beds almost all occupied. Many were accompanied by their family members, often chatting away. With so many people, the ward was like a marketplace.

Ge Sanni was in bed four, lying there quietly watching her IV drip.

Hearing footsteps, she turned her head, saw Feng Erxi, and smiled. As Erxi approached, she asked, "Did you manage to borrow it?"

Feng Erxi shook her head at her.

Ge Sanni’s face immediately darkened, disappointment in her eyes, "What did Pei Min’s sister-in-law say?"

"Pei Min hasn’t come out yet. Her sister-in-law doesn’t have the mind to care about this."

Ge Sanni forced a smile, "Then, let’s wait a bit longer. When Pei Min is out, please help me ask again." With this hospitalization, she was at a loss. She didn’t have any savings, and for the past few months, she had been relying on her scholarship. With such a meager amount of money, she didn’t dare to spend it frivolously, preferring to send it home. Her family had two children and three elders to support, all depending on the modest wage from her husband who worked in a factory. Her going to school, though not costing the family, still meant one less income and added burden. The toothpaste she bought for her roommates recently had left her penniless.

She didn’t want to be hospitalized originally, but the doctor said without hospitalization, she might miscarry. Although the baby’s timing wasn’t good, her in-laws would not leave the matter rest if she miscarried, not to mention she only had a son and a daughter back home, and she was hoping to add another boy to the family.
