I was reborn after my cousin stole my life.

Chapter 169: Is Human Nature Really That Bad?

The next day, after finishing her business at the pharmacy, Yuan Xiu went up to the obstetrics and gynecology department on the second floor to visit Teacher Shen.

When she arrived, Wang Ting was cleaning up after Teacher Shen.

Teacher Shen was lying on the bed with her legs spread apart under the blanket. Wang Ting blushed and took a warm towel to wipe her down.

Both of them were quite embarrassed.

Wang Ting was, after all, an unmarried young woman, and she was even embarrassed to wash herself, let alone wash someone else's clothes.

Teacher Shen had a surgical incision on her stomach, and she couldn't clean it herself because it hurt with every movement. She couldn't bear to just let it flow, so she had to ask Wang Ting, a young girl, for help.

After washing up, Wang Ting took the basin to the outside restroom. Teacher Shen said to Yuan Xiu, "I haven't had a chance to properly thank you for what happened yesterday."

Yuan Xiu sat down by her bedside. "I didn't help much. It was Wang Ting who handled it well and called the hospital in time, which is why the hospital staff were able to arrive so quickly."

Teacher Shen smiled and said, "Anyway, I still want to thank you. Thanks to your help, you prevented Sister Zhu from doing anything reckless. If it weren't for your thoughtfulness, my fall would have been treated as an accident. Even if I told people that I fell accidentally, some people would still pin it on Xiaoting and believe Sister Zhu."

After saying that, she praised Wang Ting, "She's a good girl, but she's a bit stubborn. I never expected her to do all this for me. If it weren't for her, I really wouldn't know what to do."

"You are all good people. Some things are better left unsaid."

Teacher Shen nodded: "It can be said that this misfortune turned out to be a blessing in disguise, bringing me and her closer. To be honest, I also had my faults. She was still young when I married Lao Wang, and I was a bit arrogant. I thought if we didn't get along, so I didn't put any effort into cultivating our relationship. I pushed everything onto Lao Wang to handle. Even when Lao Wang said he would wait a few years to have children, I didn't refuse. Now that I think about it, if I had really treated her like my own daughter and raised her properly, our relationship might have improved a long time ago."

"It's not too late now."

"Yes, it's not too late now."

Teacher Shen laughed, looking down at the child lying beside her. "Only when you truly become a mother can you understand a mother's heart. I didn't understand this before, but now I truly do."

Yuan Xiu also lowered her head and looked at her slightly protruding belly.

Falling down the stairs in late pregnancy still caused harm to Ms. Shen's body, and it may be difficult for her to have children in the future.

After the doctor finished speaking, Wang Ting immediately looked at Teacher Shen.

"I see." Teacher Shen sighed. "It's alright. Anyway, I don't plan to have any more children. We have three kids in our family, that's enough."

Wang Ting bit her lower lip tightly, lowered her head, and seemed to be thinking about something.

……

The news of Teacher Shen's accident was quickly relayed to the company via a phone call.

Political Commissar Wang was not in the company, but was outside observing the soldiers' live-fire drills. When the communications officer climbed up the high slope to find him, he was looking down with binoculars.

"Look, look, you don't recognize someone just because they changed their clothes, and they even deliberately exposed themselves. It's fucking shameful!"

Political Commissar Wang tossed the binoculars in his hand to Jiang Zhou, panting with anger.

Jiang Zhou took the binoculars and looked at them. "A greenhorn who just joined the army, lacking experience."

"If this were in the past, you'd have to risk your life to gain experience."

"Political Commissar Wang."

"What!" Political Commissar Wang was in a bad mood. When he heard someone call him, he turned around and answered irritably.

The messenger quickly handed over the note in his hand and took a few steps back to keep a safe distance.

The political commissar was in a bad mood, and seeing the message from the military region would only make him feel worse. The communications officer was afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

Political Commissar Wang frowned as he opened the note. After reading it, he slammed his fist into a nearby tree trunk, yelling, "Damn it!"

Jiang Zhou: "What's wrong?"

"Your sister-in-law gave birth."

Jiang Zhou: "..."

Your sister-in-law is so angry because she gave birth to you?

Political Commissar Wang added, "Something happened. She fell from the building, but thankfully both mother and daughter are safe. Hehe, I have a daughter again."

Jiang Zhou was really not used to his old boss's rapid changes of attitude.

"Congratulations!" Jiang Zhou said, but in his heart he was thinking that he should hurry up and move the bedroom downstairs when he got back!

Although Political Commissar Wang didn't mention it, he was still very worried, but he couldn't go back now, so he could only bury his worries in his heart.

So much so that on the way down the mountain, my foot slipped and I accidentally fell hard!

No bones were broken, but there were quite a few small cuts on my body from being scratched by tree branches.

At this point, the medicine packet that Jiangzhou brought came in handy.

"You've brought quite a complete set of things for this door; I've never seen you so thoughtful before."

Jiang Zhou used a cotton swab soaked in iodine to wipe the areas he couldn't reach. "My wife prepared this."

It would have been better if the word "lover" hadn't been mentioned, but as soon as it was, Political Commissar Wang sighed.

"Damn it! This man is absolutely wicked!"

After sighing, he remembered the contents of the note and started cursing again.

Jiang Zhou had already learned the basic situation. He had originally thought that when Yuan Xiusheng was born, he could find a relative to help, just like Commissar Wang's family. But now... he decided to forget about it.

……

Sister Zhu couldn't withstand the interrogation from the security department and confessed in detail to smearing oil on the stairs.

"I didn't mean to do anything to her, I just wanted her to throw the baby out so I would have to take care of her..."

"Who told her to try and kick me out? Haven't I served her well enough? I haven't even served my own mother like this..."

"She married well, so she looks down on me, a poor relative! She just kicked me out without giving me any face. I was supposed to come and take care of her during her postpartum period. If I go back now, what will people back home think of me?"

"Someone like her, why does she think she's better off than me? She can't even cook properly, she can't even take good care of a man, she doesn't care about him at all, she only thinks of herself when it comes to good food. When Political Commissar Wang comes home after a long day, she doesn't even bother to prepare a basin of water for him to wash his feet. If it were me, I would definitely save all the good food for Political Commissar Wang and make sure he's comfortable!"

The security personnel looked at each other in bewilderment.

However, being well-informed, they quickly realized what was happening and continued to ask questions.

"Do you know the consequences of your actions? If treatment isn't timely, it could be two lives lost! This is premeditated murder!"

"I wouldn't dare kill anyone!" Sister Zhu said absentmindedly, waving her hands and shaking her head.

She's been locked up here for two days, she's terrified. The people here won't let her sleep, won't give her enough to eat, and won't even let her drink much water.

They just kept asking her questions and even suspected her of being a spy.

Spies are to be executed; she had read in the newspapers recently that many people had been executed.

She doesn't want to die!
