I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 521: Chapter 520: The Purpose of His Visit

A military officer with the surname Qiao?

Beisitian immediately thought of Qiao Xianhong. Ever since Luo Xudong found out about the whole thing, she hadn’t mentioned it again. She figured Luo Xudong had it in mind.

While Beisitian was lost in thought, the car had already arrived at the small courtyard’s entrance.

”Sister-in-law, we’re here. I won’t go in. My wife is waiting for me to have dinner at home.” Chen Jinliang said with a smile.

Beisitian nodded and smiled, ”Thank you.”

”No problem at all, at least I don’t have to go stand at attention on the military ground,” Chen Jinliang joked.

Previously, he was a bit resentful about being assigned by Luo Xudong to pick up a woman, even though he never said it aloud. He maintained a businesslike demeanor and didn’t want to say much, let alone joke around.

But over time, interacting with Beisitian, he came to find her personality very agreeable. She was assertive when needed, gentle at other times, didn’t take advantage, but wouldn’t accept a loss either!

Chen Jinliang himself wasn’t the silent type, so he couldn’t help but make a joke this time.

After Chen Jinliang left, Beisitian closed the door. Zhuangzhuang wagged his tail and ran over, greeting her warmly.

Beisitian looked up to see Mrs. Qin standing at the archway, her face full of anger. She walked over.

”Mom,” Beisitian called softly, bringing Mrs. Qin, who was looking inside the house, back to her senses.

Mrs. Qin approached, grabbed Beisitian’s hand, and in a low, angry voice said, ”Little Tian’er, that guy with the surname Qiao is here. Do you know what he’s here for!”

Beisitian shook her head.

”He came to borrow money!” Mrs. Qin was almost exploding with anger, ”He actually has the nerve to show up here, he actually has the nerve to come and borrow money!”

Beisitian frowned. That person really was shameless!

”Mom, don’t get angry. I’ll go in and take a look. You go back first,” Beisitian said.

Mrs. Qin shook her head, ”I, I’ll wait here. I want to tell him how we’ve been living all these years!”

No matter what Beisitian said, Mrs. Qin wouldn’t go in. If Qiao Xianhong hadn’t embezzled that money back then, she and Luo Anguo wouldn’t have ended up in such a situation, having only two meals a day consisting of thin porridge and pickles, which they couldn’t even bear to eat themselves, saving it for Luo Xuping who was growing.

She and Luo Anguo were one blind, one crippled, and relied entirely on Beisitian inside and out. Those days brought her to tears when she thought about it, all thanks to Qiao Xianhong!

Unable to persuade Mrs. Qin, Beisitian could only stay outside with her. Mrs. Qin, however, wouldn’t let her, and pushed Beisitian, saying, ”Little Tian’er, go inside quickly, see if your dad can handle it alone!”

The reason Mrs. Qin was waiting outside was that Luo Anguo had pushed her out. Her emotions were too intense, making it hard for her to stay calm, and she might easily say something wrong. Luo Anguo was worried that Qiao Xianhong might catch something she said, so he had Mrs. Qin wait in the courtyard.

”Where’s Xudong?” Beisitian found it odd. Chen Jinliang had said Luo Xudong returned early. If he were here, he wouldn’t have let Luo Anguo meet Qiao Xianhong.

”Xudong said he’d be back later, something came up and delayed him,” Mrs. Qin said.

Actually, even with Luo Xudong back, she couldn’t be completely assured. This was his comrade, if he pleaded and made Luo Xudong soften, Mrs. Qin would be blood-boiling angry!

She now only trusted Beisitian. As soon as Beisitian returned, she felt anchored. With Beisitian around, they could certainly vent their grievances!

Feeling Mrs. Qin’s trust, Beisitian’s heart softened considerably. She stepped towards the inside of the house.

Just as Beisitian entered, Mrs. Qin suddenly remembered something, slapped herself, and exclaimed, ”Oh my silly brain, Little Tian’er is pregnant! How could I let her go in there and get upset!”

No wonder Luo Anguo had pushed her out. She indeed hadn’t considered many things thoroughly. Thinking this, she hurriedly chased after her, planning to pull Little Tian’er back and wait for Xudong to return!

Just as Beisitian was about to close the door, she saw Mrs. Qin running over. Seeing the anxious and guilty expression on her face, Beisitian immediately knew what she was thinking. She smiled softly and said, ”Mom, I know how to handle it. I definitely won’t upset myself. You just wait for Xudong here.”

She didn’t let Mrs. Qin come in. Seeing Qiao Xianhong would certainly make her furious. Hearing him talk would definitely infuriate her, and shouting would be of no use, only making things messy.

Anyone would feel infuriated by this matter. Luo Anguo was equally upset, but he had to suppress his anger. He couldn’t let Qiao Xianhong leave because there was still money owed!

Beisitian closed the door and turned around to find two people in the living room looking at her. She maintained her smile and said, ”Lieutenant Qiao, long time no see.”

Qiao Xianhong had stubble around his mouth, oily hair, and much snow among the black hair, making him look somewhat disheveled and dejected.

”I, I retired...” Qiao Xianhong’s voice was low.

Upon hearing of Luo Xudong’s honorable return, Qiao Xianhong immediately submitted his application. He was too ashamed to face this comrade!

”That’s a real pity. You were almost a lieutenant,” Beisitian said with a conversational tone, leaving Qiao Xianhong puzzled.

With Beisitian’s arrival, Luo Anguo spoke less. He didn’t want to talk to him much anyway, lest he lose his temper and say something wrong.

He didn’t want to lose ground due to uncontrollable emotions!

”Is Mr. Qiao here to repay the money?” Beisitian’s lips slightly curved, her gaze fixed on Qiao Xianhong.

Qiao Xianhong immediately bowed his head in shame, ”I, I... I’m here to apologize to Xudong.”

”I see. To apologize to Xudong, you’ll have to wait for him to return. How about repaying the money first? Otherwise, a verbal apology seems insincere,” Beisitian said nonchalantly.

Qiao Xianhong lowered his head even more under Beisitian’s piercing eyes. He couldn’t bring himself to mention borrowing money, he had to wait for Luo Xudong’s return.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside, and it seemed like Luo Xudong had returned.

Shortly after, the living room door was pushed open, and sure enough, it was Luo Xudong.

Seeing his son and daughter-in-law there, Luo Anguo prepared to leave. He needed to check on his wife, who got quite upset when he pushed her out earlier. At their age, getting physically affected by anger was truly unworthy.

Both Luo Xudong and Beisitian weren’t the kind to suffer losses easily. He knew Beisitian well; ten men combined couldn’t match one Beisitian. Some things Xudong couldn’t say, but Little Tian’er could supplement.

After Luo Anguo left, Luo Xudong’s gaze fell upon Qiao Xianhong.

Qiao Xianhong stood up excitedly, tears streaming from his eyes, ”Xudong, I’m sorry for everything. I’ve wronged you all along. It’s so good to see you come back alive!”
