Chapter 17

After leaving Ji Mingjing’s ward, Lu Yunxiang went to Wei Shufen’s ordinary ward.

“Aunt Fen, I’m here.”

Wei Shufen was getting an IV drip, when she saw Lu Yunxiang, she instantly beamed a gentle smile.

“Xiangxiang is here!”

Lu Yunxiang saw the gentle and generous Wei Shufen, she was momentarily dazed.

In her previous life, Han Xiangshang didn’t live to be released from prison, he died in prison due to illness.

Wei Shufen didn’t blame Lu Yunxiang for Han Xiangshang’s situation.

She even told Lu Yunxiang that it was what Han Xiangshang should have done.

Han Xiangshang was not wrong, Lu Yunxiang was not wrong either.

Such a good Wei Shufen, but in the end, she suffered such a fate.

Lu Yunxiang had already learned from the system that as long as she used the spiritual food from the system shop to nourish Wei Shufen, Wei Shufen’s body would recover, even healthier than ordinary people.

And a healthy Wei Shufen would be unstoppable in pursuing her dreams.

She was an independent woman of the new era.

Unfortunately, she was held back by her weak body.

Lu Yunxiang went over, “Aunt Fen, I brought you some food.”

Wei Shufen smiled gently.

“You’re so kind, Xiangxiang!”

Lu Yunxiang smiled and opened the lunchbox, the fragrant aroma instantly filled the air.

Wei Shufen had been tortured by illness for years, she had no appetite, but the food Lu Yunxiang brought, just the smell made her hungry.

“Xiangxiang, did you make this?”

Lu Yunxiang smiled sweetly.

“I just learned, try it.”

Lu Yunxiang served her a bowl of porridge.

Wei Shufen gratefully accepted it.

She took a sip, instantly, she was conquered by the fragrant flavor.

Wei Shufen was a patient, she was usually weak and had no appetite.

But the porridge Lu Yunxiang brought, completely opened her taste buds, she drank it one mouthful after another.

Unconsciously, she finished the whole bowl of porridge.

Lu Yunxiang saw that she finished one bowl, so she served her another.

At this time, a cheerful voice came from the door.

“Aunt Fen, I brought you some food!”

Lu Yunxiang heard this familiar voice, a flash of surprise crossed her eyes.

Zhang Lin.

She had thought it was a pity that she couldn’t see Zhang Lin’s embarrassment firsthand today.

But Zhang Lin delivered herself to her doorstep.

There’s a path to heaven, you won’t take it, there’s no door to hell, you barge in!

Lu Yunxiang turned around and saw Zhang Lin standing at the door, wearing her red dress, looking bright and dazzling.

Zhang Lin’s bright smile froze instantly when she saw Lu Yunxiang.

“You… how come you’re here?”

She was probably guilty, she couldn’t even speak properly.

Lu Yunxiang looked at her with a smirk.

“Oh, the thief is here!”

Zhang Lin’s face turned white instantly, and the next second her voice became sharp.

“Who are you calling a thief? You’re talking nonsense!”

Lu Yunxiang crossed her arms and looked at her with a composed expression.

“You dare say that the dress you’re wearing isn’t mine? You didn’t steal it!”

Zhang Lin’s face turned pale with anger, her whole body was tense.

“I just borrowed it to wear, I’ll return it to you.”

Lu Yunxiang sneered.

“You borrowed so many things from me before, when did you ever return them? Besides, you should at least ask me before borrowing my things, taking things without asking is stealing!”

Lu Yunxiang was in a good mood after seeing Zhang Lin’s embarrassing situation, she went to the intensive care unit to find Ji Mingjing.

This time, Lu Yunxiang clearly felt that the two guards at the door, Xiao He and Xiao Zhang, were smiling from ear to ear when they saw her.

They even enthusiastically opened the door for her.

“Sister-in-law, the regiment commander is waiting for you.”

Lu Yunxiang: “Sister-in-law?!”

She quickly waved her hand, “No, no, you’re mistaken!”

The two of them smiled ambiguously at her, with a “I understand, you’re shy” look.

Lu Yunxiang froze.

This was truly… a beautiful misunderstanding.

She didn’t explain further.

After all, their teasing was only out of envy, not malice.

When she entered the ward, the lunchboxes had already been washed.

She went to get the lunchboxes, and accidentally opened the lid.

She found ten yuan inside.

Lu Yunxiang: This…

Then she thought, these soldiers, they believe in not taking a single thread from the people.

She suddenly sent food, he accepted it already gave her face.

This ten yuan…

Lu Yunxiang took it out and silently put it in her pocket.

Ji Mingjing, who had been observing her from the bed, raised his eyebrows.

This girl was smart.

“You said you had something to ask me for help, what is it?”

Lu Yunxiang finally remembered that she was here to complain.

She said pitifully, “Brother Ji, I went to apply for a travel permit today, but they said the documents you brought have a capital seal, and it’s not accepted here in Fengcheng. They asked me to get a Fengcheng seal, I… I don’t know what to do!”

Ji Mingjing immediately frowned, his face turned gloomy.

The Fengcheng office didn’t recognize the capital seal?

Heh!

Ji Mingjing looked at Lu Yunxiang’s pitiful little face, he immediately understood that someone was obstructing her visit home.

Even visiting family was being obstructed, it seemed like she wasn’t having a good time in Fengcheng.

Ji Mingjing’s voice unconsciously softened.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of the documents here in Fengcheng for you, it won’t delay your trip to the capital to visit your father. You will definitely see Professor Lu on time.”

Lu Yunxiang smiled happily.

“Thank you, Brother Ji.”

The moment Lu Yunxiang smiled, Ji Mingjing thought of a phrase.

Thousands upon thousands of pear blossoms in bloom.

A strange warmth surged through him.

Lu Yunxiang picked up the lunchbox on the table, “Brother Ji, I’ll go now.”

Ji Mingjing subconsciously squeezed the book in his hand.

There was a… reluctance to let Lu Yunxiang go.

He held it back.

“Okay.”

Lu Yunxiang happily hugged the lunchbox and ran to the door, when she reached the door, she suddenly turned back.

“Brother Ji, the ten yuan you gave me is too much, I can’t finish it in one meal, I’ll bring you food tomorrow.”

Then, without giving Ji Mingjing a chance to refuse, she ran away.

Xiao Zhang and Xiao He just heard Lu Yunxiang say she would come to deliver food tomorrow.

They thought of the delicious big buns they ate today, their mouths watered uncontrollably.

Xiao Zhang shouted at Lu Yunxiang’s back.

“Sister-in-law, the buns were delicious today.”

Lu Yunxiang paused her running steps, then gave Xiao Zhang a bright smile.

“Got it!”

Xiao He happily praised.

“Sister-in-law is so smart!”

Ji Mingjing’s deep voice came from the ward.

“Xiao He, Xiao Zhang, come in!”

Xiao He immediately pushed the door open and went in.

He was a little nervous as he went in, because he had asked the sister-in-law for food just now.

Would the Captain be upset that the sister-in-law had made too much?

“Xiao Zhang, go check who didn’t approve Comrade Lu’s leave to visit relatives! Xiao He, go find out what Comrade Lu’s life has been like all these years.”

Xiao Zhang was surprised.

“Sister-in-law’s leave application can’t be approved?”

That was a stamp personally made by the Captain!

Ji Mingjing’s handsome face was filled with seriousness.

“So, those who use their positions for personal gain can be dealt with according to the rules!”

Xiao Zhang immediately realized that the Captain was going to avenge the sister-in-law!

He immediately became fully alert.

“Yes! I guarantee to complete the mission!”

After leaving the hospital, Lu Yunxiang went to her secret base.

Her secret base was in a small alley in West Lane, where there was a tree that was two people tall, with a very thick trunk.

In her memory, whenever she was wronged, she would go there and sit.

The tree had a very hidden opening, which had to be carefully searched for.

She often hid things there.

It was a comfort to her heart.

She had hidden the thousand yuan there.

She had to go and check it to feel at ease.

【Alert! Alert! There is merit!】

Lu Yunxiang: ?

A red arrow suddenly appeared in front of her, pointing in the direction she was going.

She was a little excited, and following the red arrow, she came to a scrap yard in West Lane.

A middle-aged woman sat in charge there, and seeing Lu Yunxiang, who was clean and neatly dressed, she warmly greeted her.

“Little girl, what do you want?”

There was all kinds of stuff in the scrap yard in this era, Lu Yunxiang pointed at the pile of books.

“I want to find two books.”

Lu Yunxiang was beautiful, dressed cleanly and neatly, standing there, looking innocent and cute, like a well-educated young lady.

Saying she was looking for books was the perfect excuse.

The woman who collected scrap didn’t read, so she couldn’t recommend anything to Lu Yunxiang, she could only say enthusiastically, “I don’t know much about that, you can choose yourself, our prices are very fair, ten cents a book.”

Ten cents a book, in this era, it wasn’t expensive, but it wasn’t cheap either.

After all, books were priceless treasures for those who needed them.

For those who didn’t, they were worthless.

Lu Yunxiang nodded.

“I’ll look around myself, thank you.”

“Call me when you’re done!”

Lu Yunxiang didn’t have trouble finding things, because with the system’s help, the things were clearly marked out.

Next to a pile of books, in a pile of miscellaneous goods.

She didn’t know what it was exactly.

The red sign said “Merit” in big characters.

Lu Yunxiang pretended to pick out two books that looked good, then went to the pile of scrap and rummaged through it, finally picking out a square wooden box about twenty centimeters tall.

The paint on the wooden box was severely faded, and you could vaguely see that it was an old jewelry box.
