Chapter 24: Timely Rain
After a lot of effort, Coriander found out from this little newspaper boy named Ake that Laocheng Street was not in the area of the West District of Public Lease, and that it could only be found by walking south through the French lease and to the jurisdiction of the south of Shanghai.
Coriander also got a copy of the newspaper from Ake, and the biggest news in the newspaper today was the news that Wang Tianhan, the son of Wang Shiyao, the president of the Blue Dragon Society, had been imprisoned.
The newspaper wrote in great detail that yesterday Wang Tianhan's ship docked at Pier 13, and when Wang Tianhan called someone to unload the cargo, the shipping company checked that the cargo contained banned drugs, and the shipping company intercepted Wang Tianhan's cargo at the first time.
Wang Tianhan is used to bullying people and showing off his might, and he suffered a big loss from the Rongji Chamber of Commerce that day, so his mood is naturally not sunny. The goods were seized by the shipping company, and as soon as his emotions came up, he asked his gang to pinch up with the people of the shipping company.
Because the people of the shipping company knew that Wang Tianhan's identity was not ordinary, they didn't do anything at first, they only thought about seizing Wang Tianhan's goods, as for where Wang Tianhan and the gang of people under him loved to go, they didn't expect Wang Tianhan to put his nose on his face and make a big fuss at Pier 13. So the people of the shipping company notified the patrol room.
The patrol room dispatched a large team of men to stop the commotion on the 13th pier, and afterwards took Wang Tianhan and his subordinates to the patrol room as "guests".
This matter reached the ears of Wang Tianhan and his son Wang Shiyao, and Wang Shiyao rushed into the patrol room angrily, and brought a long entourage with him. In the patrol room, as soon as he saw Wang Tianhan, he slapped his son loudly on the spot, scolding his son for being a thing that was not enough to succeed and more than to fail.
Wang Tianhan finally became famous as he wished, so that almost the entire Shanghai market knew that there was such a person as him-infamous!
Even if he is notorious, he still smeared his face, and preached "My father is Wang Shiyao" at Pier 13 and the patrol room, and more and more people know that Wang Shiyao, the president of the Blue Dragon Society, has such a "promising" son.
If this is the case, why should Wang Shiyao be angry?
The newspaper attached a photo of Wang Tianhan, and Coriander looked at the photo and recognized Wang Tianhan as one of the people who appeared at the Jiang'an Wharf that day, and then realized that the news reported in the newspaper was related to the events of that day.
But what she found strange was-
Two groups of people appeared at the riverbank wharf that day, and the news in the newspaper only made a harsh mockery of Wang Tianhan's gang, but for some reason there was no mention of the other gang.
This thought only flashed through her head, and she didn't want to delve into the depths of the hole. Maybe once she jumps in, she won't be able to climb out. This kind of behavior is likely to be suicidal, so she won't do it!
Cilantro crumpled up the finished newspaper and threw it into a garbage basket in the corridor of the Shihe Hospital, and then walked into the single room.
"Brother, I'm back."
Coriander, who was originally lying on the bed, immediately sat up, unable to hide the anticipation and surprise on her face, "What's the matter, have you found your father?" β
"Not yet." Seeing a hint of disappointment flashing across Coriander's face, Cilantro continued, "I've already inquired about the location of Old Town Street, it seems to be quite far from here, and if you go today, you won't be able to come back before dark." I'll be back first, and I'll go back tomorrow to find that place. β
Hearing this, a smile resurfaced on Coriander's face.
Cilantro's eyes sharpened, and she noticed something more on the bedside tableβa brand new silver metal lunch box, and a small bundle of receipts neatly tied with leather bands on the lunch box.
Coriander couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is this?" β
Coriander smiled shyly, scratching her head, looking a little embarrassed, "After you left, a few nurses came over, and they sent these things." I don't know what it is. β
The lunch box is new, and this small bundle of pink tickets is the meal ticket of Shihe Hospital, and the meal ticket is also stamped with the official seal of Shihe Hospital. Coriander tore off the rubber band tied with the meal tickets, counted them carefully, a total of fifteen meal tickets, and mentally calculated - if three meals a day, one meal is used for one meal ticket, then these meal tickets are enough for one person for five days. But if these meal tickets are counted on the heads of the two people, I am afraid that in less than three days, the Lin family brothers and sisters will "eat" these meal tickets.
Although there are not many things, the coriander is already very satisfied.
Originally, she didn't have a good impression of the nurses and ladies in Shihe Hospital, but she didn't expect them to send these good things over with a lot of heart, which made Coriander change her opinion of them a lot. It is estimated that they were also afraid that they would offend the coriander because of what happened during the day, so they sent these meal tickets to make amends. Anyway, with these meal tickets, coriander doesn't have to worry about not eating coriander well and not keeping up with nutrition these days.
Coriander bared two rows of little white teeth, smiled very ill-willedly, and deliberately teased coriander, "The nurse sisters are not beautiful!" β
Coriander blushed and said in shame: "How do I know if it's not beautiful?" I was lying here pretending to be asleep when they came in, and I didn't know how many noses they had and how many eyes they had! β
There was a hint of emptiness on his face, and when he peeked through a small slit with his eyes open, all he saw was the graceful backs of the nurses and ladies leaving......
"Which nurse sister do you like, just tell me, I'll let them come and serve you." Coriander patted her chest and swore a look of "wrapping it around me".
She's underwhelmed!
Coriander was annoyed, and wanted to beat her but couldn't reach her, so she had to pretend to be angry and reprimand her, "What nonsense do you say, you will laugh at your brother!" β
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you." If she continued to play tricks on coriander, Cilantro was really worried that he would jump out of bed and chase after her. She hugged the lunch box and took a meal ticket, "I'm going to eat!" β
Coriander stopped her, opened her eyes wide and said blankly, "Where are you going to eat?" β
"There is a canteen in this hospital, and these things sent by the nurses and sisters are meal tickets, and you can go to the canteen to eat with meal tickets." As he spoke, Coriander opened the lunch box and sniffed it, but did not notice that there was a special smell inside.
There are still some crystal water stains at the bottom of a clean lunch box, which should have been brushed before bringing it.
Coriander was confused, for no reason, how could those nurses send meal tickets?
He couldn't help but worry: "These meal tickets cost money, right?" β
"Don't worry so much, the nurses and sisters are kind, you can take it!" If you return these things, it will inevitably seem too hypocritical, and the coriander will be reluctant!
Thinking that she hadn't eaten a full meal for several days, Coriander was also quite tempted by those meal tickets that rained in time. It's just that it's useless, why are people so kind enough to send you so many meal tickets? Coriander still has a little bit of nostalgia, but seeing the coriander happy, he is slowly relieved.
"Brother, you wait, I'm going to eat!"
On the way to the hospital cafeteria, Coriander saw a group of nurses walking in front of her from a distance, saw their side faces, and found that among them were the nurses she had met during the day, so she ran forward to express her gratitude.
Putting aside her shabby dress, the nurses and ladies found her funny, and thought that she was really a distant relative of the second head of the Rong Ji Chamber of Commerce, and soon became one with coriander.
Dr. Feng, who was not far away, saw coriander talking and laughing with the nurses, and he felt quite uncomfortable. He spent so much thought on the Lin family brothers and sisters, and he didn't get half a good face, but in less than two days, those nurses who didn't do anything actually had a relationship with the people he served. As if the credit had been robbed, Dr. Feng was very unwilling.
What is the reason for this?
Just because he's not a woman......
