Chapter 109 The High Ideals of the Future Father-in-Law

Old Zhang and the little boy drove to the pharmacy next to the bookstore. As soon as the car stopped, they hurriedly got out, not even bothering to turn off the engine.

They were in such a rush,

That those in the know would understand it was because the child had been hit by a car,

But those who didn't know

Might have thought the child was about to be born.

The two of them had just rushed into the pharmacy when the old Daoist sitting in a wheelchair stopped them.

The old Daoist sat there, truly giving off an aura of one man holding the pass, ten thousand unable to break through.

He said,

"The boss is inside. Wait for him to come out."

"Is it serious?"

The little boy asked anxiously, sticking out his tongue, while mentally calculating the container he would need to hold the soul.

The gates of hell wouldn't reopen until tomorrow, so he had to prepare for the worst.

No matter what, he couldn't watch the sole heir of the Zhang family be completely annihilated.

"Is he okay? The situation, that..."

Old Zhang was so nervous he was almost incoherent.

The old Daoist smiled and said, "The boss said the injuries are serious, but not life-threatening. Don't worry."

"Phew..."

"Phew..."

Both Old Zhang and the little boy breathed a sigh of relief.

"Grandson, pour tea. I'm thirsty."

The little boy found a chair and sat down next to the old Daoist.

Old Zhang did as he was told, pouring tea and bringing it over,

Obedient and docile like a grandson.

Twenty minutes later, Boss Zhou came out of the operating room.

There were beads of sweat on his forehead.

In fact, most professions in this world emphasize skill and experience. It's hard to say if Boss Zhou's medical skills are better than other surgeons now that he hasn't been on the operating table much in recent years. However, his vision and some special abilities are indeed beyond the reach of ordinary doctors.

Since it was a kid from his own bookstore and he happened to be there, Boss Zhou would have been embarrassed not to go into the operating room himself. This laziness really couldn't be indulged.

If it were other doctors, Old Zhang and the little boy would have rushed up to ask about the situation, but Boss Zhou was, after all, the boss.

Old Zhang first offered his stool to Zhou Ze,

While the little boy ran to pour another cup of tea.

Zhou Ze didn't beat around the bush and said directly,

"There may be a slight concussion, which will require a period of observation in the hospital. I did my best with his leg. After recovery, he may have a slight limp."

"A limp is good, a limp is good. With a limp, he can stay at home and have kids."

The little boy was in a good mood.

He had originally planned to break his leg himself. Now it's great, his leg is limping on its own, and he can even get an award for it.

In any case, the Zhang family had too many photos of their family in uniform in their family album. Saving one was saving one.

A family of martyrs sounds very admirable, loud, and shocking,

But,

Come, come, come,

This glorious opportunity is for you,

Would you dare take it?

"Alright, wait until Xiao Feng wakes up before you go in to see him. Don't disturb his rest now."

"Okay, okay, thank you, Boss."

"Thank you for your hard work, Boss."

…………

In the evening, first, colleagues from the police station came to visit Xiao Feng, but they were all driven away by Old Zhang on the grounds that the injured needed rest.

The last group to come was Xiao Feng's fiancée and her family.

This time, Old Zhang couldn't drive them away.

Just then, Xiao Feng woke up from the anesthesia, and Zhou Ze came over to check on him. Seeing that there were no other problems, he came out again.

Xiao Feng's fiancée was very tall and beautiful. Zhou Ze seemed to remember someone saying that Xiao Feng's girlfriend was also studying at the police academy, but it seemed that it was a misunderstanding.

Sure enough, while Zhou Ze was smoking a cigarette next to them, he gathered that the fiancée was studying media and working as a program host at a local TV station in Tongcheng.

Her family's conditions were good, and her parents owned a large breeding farm.

There was no bloody drama. It seemed that Xiao Feng and his fiancée had a good relationship. The woman cried outside for a long time, and the woman's parents didn't mind that their son-in-law was already lame before he even "entered the door." Instead, they insisted on holding the wedding as soon as Xiao Feng recovered.

After learning about his son-in-law's situation, the father-in-law relaxed and took Old Zhang's hand, saying that at the wedding, Xiao Feng would walk up with crutches, and the relatives and friends who came would know that this was an injury sustained in the line of duty, which would give him a lot of face!

The mother-in-law nodded frantically beside him.

Their family didn't lack money, so they didn't pay much attention to the man's family background when choosing a son-in-law.

Of course, the Zhang family's financial situation was actually quite good.

It was just that the family history was a bit tragic.

But this was the same reason why the Lin family chose Xu Le as their live-in son-in-law.

Zhang Feng's mother was abroad all year round, and his father had sacrificed himself. If he became their son-in-law, and they treated him like their own son, wouldn't they really gain a real son?

Hearing this, Zhou Ze couldn't help but laugh, feeling that the woman's parents were indeed quite interesting, and of course, their ideological awareness was indeed high.

Old Zhang, as the leader and actually the father, diligently chatted with the woman's parents.

The little boy sat next to him, just listening and not interrupting.

This wasn't just a generational thing, it was several generations apart. He would just watch and not speak. The old ancestor still understood this rule.

It was okay to curse and swear usually, but at critical moments, you still had to rely on the child's father to handle things.

Zhou Ze walked out of the pharmacy.

The streetlights were already on.

For a commercial street, it seemed that it had just awakened at this time and was about to show its vigorous vitality.

There was a Porsche parked at the door. It wasn't the bookstore's car.

As Zhou Ze walked over, Lawyer An happened to come out.

"Boss, that..."

Lawyer An hesitated.

"What's wrong?"

"Your in-laws are here."

"..." Zhou Ze.

Lin's father and mother had come, and when they saw Zhou Ze again, the two elders seemed very polite.

Yingying brought tea, and Zhou Ze sat opposite them.

Lin's mother was fatter. Middle-aged and elderly people gained weight; it wasn't just a Western phenomenon.

Lin's father, because he had suffered a serious illness before, looked much thinner even though he had recovered well.

At this moment,

Zhou Ze was no longer the Xu Le who had just possessed the body,

And the two elders were no longer as aggressive as they had been in the past.

People do change.

"I know that although you and Wanqiu are separated, you are still not divorced. I also know that my daughter has you in her heart, otherwise..."

Lin's father wanted to point to the pharmacy next door, but after thinking about it, he decided not to mention it.

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Ze put down his teacup and got straight to the point.

"We only recently found out about Wanqiu's matter. This child has kept it from me so bitterly."

Zhou Ze understood.

The reason the two elders had become so soft was probably because they had discovered the truth about Doctor Lin's profession.

In fact, this couldn't be hidden for long. Lin's father had come from the medical system and was himself a bigwig in some areas. Even though he had taken a more administrative route in recent years, he still had basic discernment and sensitivity.

After Doctor Lin contracted AIDS, let alone going on the operating table to continue surgery, she couldn't even go to her own hospital anymore. It would be a miracle if this could be hidden.

Originally, it seemed to be because of their failed arranged marriage, choosing a beast like "Xu Le."

Lin's parents chose to "forget" this matter, hoping that their daughter could solve it herself.

Now, after learning about their daughter's matter, they couldn't sit still and took the initiative to find Xu Le.

"I know about her matter. I will be responsible for accompanying and comforting her."

Boss Zhou said nice things to perfunctorily.

In fact, Doctor Lin was very strong.

"Well, A'Le, can you come home?" Lin's mother asked tentatively. "Besides, Wanqiu is in this state now. The hospital needs someone trustworthy to manage it."

"There's no need for that. I'm busy with my bookstore here."

Hearing this, Lin's father and mother were both stunned. Lin's mother said directly, "But your bookstore seems..."

"The country is now promoting Reading Day and calling on everyone to read. I believe that in the near future, the bookstore's business will improve."

"A'Le, really, won't you consider it?" Lin's father asked.

Zhou Ze shook his head.

After saying some meaningless things,

Lin's father and mother said goodbye, and Zhou Ze got up and saw them to the door.

Lawyer An was sitting behind the bar, eating a piece of cantaloupe.

"Boss, why didn't you agree? The hospital should be very profitable, especially since it's a private hospital."

Generally speaking, excluding the scam-like Putian system hospitals, normal private hospitals are more focused on profitability than public hospitals, so their efficiency is definitely guaranteed. Of course, private hospitals are bound to charge higher fees.

Many people often complain that public hospitals have poor service or that medical resources are tight and you have to wait in line, etc.

In fact,

If this restriction were to be lifted,

It would be a real increase in the burden on the general public.

"No interest."

For Zhou Ze, having a pharmacy next door where he could occasionally warm up his hands and reminisce about the past was pretty good.

To really make him manage a hospital,

How tiring!

He had even killed a Yama before. If he encountered patients who caused trouble or were unreasonable, he might not be able to hold back...

"Hehe, Boss, what do you think your life would be like now if you hadn't met that idiot Lin Ke?"

"Maybe I'd really be living off a woman."

"Living off a woman is also an enviable life. You'd have a beautiful wife by your side. Either you reveal your identity directly, or you continue to hide it.

You could occasionally use your old skills to run to your own hospital and show off a bit, tsk tsk, shocking your in-laws and refreshing your wife's affection, hehe."

Lawyer An pointed to a row of bookshelves diagonally in front of him and smiled,

"Those shelves are full of stories like that."

"You still have time to read novels?"

"Just killing time."

At this moment, Yingying came out of the kitchen and shouted,

"Dinner's ready!"

At the same time,

Old Zhang and the little boy seemed to have just seen off their in-laws.

The two of them also walked to the door of the bookstore.

Old Zhang took the initiative to push open the door of the bookstore first, signaling the little boy to enter first, very respectfully.

Then,

Before Old Zhang could even open his mouth,

Lawyer An threw the last bit of cantaloupe in his mouth, clapped his hands, and shouted for Old Zhang,

"What a coincidence, we're just eating!"
