CHAPTER 553: 553 DISCHARGED

Dear ones, I’ve been under a lot of pressure lately, posting six thousand words daily! I’ll try to store more drafts for a burst of updates.

In the following days, Su Yuanyuan received very little IV therapy each day.

"Doctor Sun, can I be discharged from the hospital?"

Sun Yanhua smiled, "You’ll need to ask the higher-ups for that."

Actually, her hospitalization wasn’t of much use now. However, the dean had already reported to the higher-ups. But it wasn’t approved.

"Then, could you call in the people outside? I want to talk to them—staying here is a waste of resources."

In reality, Su Yuanyuan just wanted to go back to her own home. That way, there wouldn’t be as many people around. Doing anything would be more convenient.

Today, Chengzi was on duty.

"Mr. Su, is there something you need from me?"

"Could you help me fill out an application? I want to go back. I know staying at the garrison is inconvenient too. Take me to pack my things. I can live in the Capital on my own.

I can completely fend for myself now."

Chengzi was a bit troubled. "Mr. Su, I’ll report to the leadership when I go back today."

"Alright, thank you."

Su Yuanyuan really didn’t want to be in the hospital or at the garrison.

She couldn’t bring herself to like it here; just the thought of it made her feel oppressed.

Da Yang came to switch shifts in the evening. After Chengzi returned, he found Daqing.

"Alright, Sister-in-law probably doesn’t want to stay in the hospital anymore. If she wants to come back, she can."

"But Sister-in-law said she wouldn’t stay at the garrison; she wants to live in the city on her own."

Daqing didn’t know what to say either. The boss once said that Sister-in-law was actually someone very opinionated.

Since she said it like that, it means she’s already made up her mind, and you couldn’t stop her even if you tried.

"Better ask Director Zhang about it. He was the one who brought up the housing issue."

Zhang Chunsheng thought about it, "Alright, if that’s how she wants it, then let it be. Tell the person taking over tomorrow, tell Xiao Su, I’ll pick her up the day after tomorrow."

Hu Zi, Da Biao, and Da Linzi have already been sent out. Once Sister-in-law is fine, I guess the four of them will be leaving too.

Su Yuanyuan got the answer she wanted the next day and was quite satisfied.

"Thank you, Doctor Sun, for taking care of me all this time."

"Xiao Su, actually, you should be living at the garrison. That way, they can all help you. It’s already below zero; just lighting the stove and making a fire would be too much for you on your own."

"Doctor Sun, actually, I can take off the cast now."

"No, it’s too soon. You should wear the cast properly for three months. Just a little over a month left, hang in there."

Su Yuanyuan really had no other choice, though she knew she had long since healed. When she’s by herself, she can take it off just fine. No need to argue now.

Zhang Chunsheng arrived almost at noon the next day.

"Xiao Su, did you wait too long? I’ll take you back to the garrison first."

Actually, they had considered that the house would inevitably show signs of her and her father’s life, but they couldn’t clean it up in advance, so it would just stay as it was.

Everyone left in the hospital could go back now.

Zhou Cong was driving today. Seeing that Sister-in-law was no longer as gloomy as before, he felt relieved and was glad they didn’t speak the truth.

At the doorstep check, Su Yuanyuan wanted to get out for the inspection but was stopped.

The vehicle drove straight to the door, attracting the attention of many relatives.

Seeing a woman with a leg and an arm in a cast but otherwise unchanged, many felt quite bitter inside.

Su Yuanyuan sarcastically curled her lips; these people, they were so disappointed that the girl didn’t die.

"Sister-in-law, your keys were probably lost in that explosion."

"Just smash it," Su Yuanyuan said indifferently.

Zhou Cong quickly broke open the lock.

With a crutch, Su Yuanyuan entered the yard and suddenly felt a pang of sourness in her nose.

Were these the latent emotions of this body?

Zhang Chunsheng and Zhou Cong were right behind her, seeing her red-rimmed eyes and in a daze; both men felt quite uncomfortable.

Su Yuanyuan made her way into the house. It had been over three months since someone lived there. Dust had already settled on the furniture.

She stood in the main room, looking around.

"You two can leave; come back in an hour to get me."

"Xiao Su..."

"I want to be alone for a while."

The two, feeling uneasy, left the house and sat in the yard waiting.

Su Yuanyuan didn’t say anything more. She found her way into the east room based on her instincts.

In rural areas, the east is given precedence. This should be her bedroom, right?

Entering the room, she sighed; it really matched her habits.

Besides the necessary furniture, there was nothing in the room. She didn’t like rooms that were too full; they felt oppressive.

She sat on the edge of the kang, her Divine Sense entered the space, found the property deeds and keys to three properties, took them out, and placed them aside.

She also took things that could prove the identity of this girl from before.

Su Yuanyuan thought she really had too many similarities with this girl, and she was completely sure this person had come from another world as well.

That way, her behaviors wouldn’t seem too out of line.

Inside the space, there was a briefcase with this girl’s clothes, which she also took out.

She decided to leave the rest for now, taking a shoulder bag to store everything she had taken out.

There wasn’t much left in the room. She probably intended to leave, and it seemed like she had packed up.

Su Yuanyuan was now grateful that their spaces had merged; otherwise, it would’ve been really awkward.

She walked around both rooms and found nothing else to pack. Some daily necessities were left and not needed.

When the time was up, Zhang Chunsheng and Zhou Cong came in. They saw Su Yuanyuan sitting on the kang, with a briefcase beside her.

"Xiao Su, have you packed everything? Did you find all the important items, like the property deeds, keys, and money?"

"I found them."

Zhang Chunsheng scrutinized Su Yuanyuan but didn’t find anything amiss.

"Xiao Su, shall we head to the city now? Living there alone might be inconvenient; maybe I should find someone to look after you?"

Zhang Chunsheng suggested while picking the briefcase—it was quite heavy.

"No need, I don’t like having people around. But could I ask Mr. Zhang to help me get some coal and firewood? It’s too cold to go without heating."

"With your limited mobility, you can’t manage all that, can you?"

"Why can’t I manage? I can definitely handle it alone."

The three of them got into the car, and Su Yuanyuan glanced at the house.

"Mr. Zhang, this house has nothing to do with me anymore. I won’t be coming back. You can give it to someone who needs it."

"Alright." Zhang Chunsheng felt that whatever he said was useless.

Xiao Su was still the same as before, not fond of this place, but losing such an outstanding person was truly a shame and a loss.

Su Yuanyuan heard Zhang Chunsheng’s inner thoughts and found it quite amusing.
