Chapter 143 Comrade, we meet again?
Zhou Ruoyu smiled bitterly and said, "How could I not cooperate? He has to be willing to go. I've been saying I need to go for another checkup for almost a month now."
Principal Wu thought deeply. Although Lu Qinchuan seemed carefree on the surface, it was not easy for him to lose face when it came to matters involving a man's dignity.
"Let me tell you, I'm half his mother, so there's no need for you to be so timid in front of me."
After Principal Wu made up his mind, he had a heart-to-heart talk with Lu Qinchuan in the kitchen.
"You even thought of adopting Captain Zhu's unborn child, but why didn't you think of being able to cure it yourself? His child is lovable, but he's still the flesh and blood of the Zhu family. Even if he calls you dad and Xiaoyu mom, how would you feel about that?"
"I know that adopting a child is a common thing in my hometown, but you have to think about Captain Zhu. Even if he had ten children, he wouldn't be willing to give them to someone else."
Listening to Principal Wu's words, Lu Qinchuan curled his lips and said, "Old Zhu is here to complain to you about me, right?"
Principal Wu's face darkened. "It's human nature. If your wife were pregnant now, would you be willing to give her up? Put yourself in her shoes and think about it."
Seeing that his expression had relaxed, Principal Wu immediately struck while the iron was hot and told him about the old Chinese doctor, adding, "It's not an incurable disease. There was a secretary in the military district who cured it. The child can now walk by holding on to the windowsill."
Lu Qinchuan nodded vigorously: "Then I'll go there in a moment, I'll go call Lao Zhu!"
"and many more!"
Principal Wu stopped him coldly, "What do you want him to do? Is he going to have a baby with you?"
"..."
"A husband and wife cannot just share happiness, they must also share hardship. Only then can they truly become one. Let your wife go with you."
Principal Wu was indeed Principal Wu. He was very good at ideological and political work. In just a few minutes, he walked out with a triumphant look on his face:
"The school said there were some issues with the change of principal, so they asked me to come back and check things out, so I went over first."
Zhou Ruoyu then remembered that when she tore Su Yujie apart, she revealed all the dirty things about Principal Zhong, and Teacher Yan directly reported Principal Zhong to his superiors under his real name.
The school has now started to change its principal, but the question of whether to send the teacher out or promote him/her has been pending. Finally, they had to ask the retired Principal Wu to come out and bring her from Beijing to take charge of the overall situation.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the guesthouse, Captain Zhu ran over and revealed Lu Qinchuan's "incompetence", so she came here early in the morning before arriving at school.
After seeing Principal Wu off, Zhou Shufen nudged Zhou Ruoyu with her elbow and asked in a low voice, "Do you want me to accompany you? I know more than you do anyway."
"No need! I, I, I also know a little bit."
Zhou Ruoyu blurted out that if Lu Qinchuan was surrounded by female comrades in the men's department, he could just find a piece of tofu and kill himself.
In the hospital, near that department again, Lu Qinchuan and Zhou Ruoyu were sitting on chairs waiting in line.
Not to mention Lu Qinchuan, a grown man, even Zhou Ruoyu, a healthy person, would be looked at strangely when she sat here. Those probing eyes pricked her like thorns, and it took great endurance to sit still.
On the contrary, Lu Qinchuan was calm and composed, as if he was the one accompanying someone else to see a doctor. He also cast puzzled glances at the people waiting in line like passers-by.
A familiar figure appeared in the queue. Lu Qinchuan couldn't help but stand up and use his height advantage to shout to the person: "Hey, hey!"
The man seemed to recognize him as well, sneaking out of the line and coming up to him: "Comrade, I didn't expect we'd meet again. Are you here for a follow-up check?"
After saying that, his eyes flicked to Zhou Ruoyu's face behind Lu Qinchuan, and he asked in a low voice, "Is my wife here too?"
Lu Qinchuan didn't comment and asked him doubtfully, "Weren't you already well last time? Why are you coming here now?"
"Damn it!" the man cursed softly, clenching his fists. "No one would believe me if I told you that. I used to think it was a joke when someone said the wrong baby was born in the hospital. I never thought such a bad thing would happen to me!"
"Ever since the last checkup, I've been dragging my wife to do her homework every day. But within a couple of days, she got annoyed and started mocking me for not having enough."
The man was afraid that Zhou Ruoyu would hear him, so he pulled Lu Qinchuan away and turned his back to him, saying, "Brother, how are you? Have you taken the medicine?"
Lu Qinchuan sighed softly and didn't respond. The man understood everything from this sigh: "So you're here for another checkup today? Well, I wish you good luck. My results will be out soon."
The two were talking quietly when the nurse called out, "Number 3, Number 3..."
"Number 3, I'm Number 3..." The man who was talking to Lu Qinchuan raised his hand and squeezed over.
"Why does this 3 always look like a 5? Is it really that difficult to write..."
The nurse complained while letting man No. 3 into the examination room.
Lu Qinchuan was standing by the door, listening to everything the nurse said. He suddenly remembered that his test tube number was 5 during the last checkup, and this man seemed to be number 3...
Man No. 3 was so kind as to send his No. 5 to the laboratory, and then he became infertile...
He gritted his teeth and paced back and forth in front of the door. At this moment, he felt like a tiger biting the sky - he had no idea where to start. Although he secretly considered the possibility, he repeatedly rejected it: Even if that was a possibility, he hadn't made Xiaoyu pregnant for all this time...
He was fidgeting, and had been looking inside the clinic constantly since Man No. 3 entered.
Zhou Ruoyu pulled him to a chair, looked at him doubtfully, then looked towards the clinic, obviously asking: Are you related to that man?
Lu Qinchuan didn't even dare to think about it, let alone tell Zhou Ruoyu. He pursed his lips and sat down obediently, but his face flushed red and he kept rubbing his hands together, looking like his wife was giving birth to him inside.
Suddenly, a heated argument broke out in the room, and everyone in the queue looked inside.
"I'm going to report you to the logistics department. How can you be like this!" Man No. 3 was pulled out from inside by the nurse excitedly. He rolled up his sleeves and was obviously about to take action.
"Brother, calm down, this is a hospital." Lu Qinchuan stepped forward and hugged man No. 3, trying to calm him down.
Man No. 3 sniffed and spoke with a nasal drawl: "Heaven and hell, they chose it for me! Brother, look..."
He trembled as he showed the test results and said, "Isn't this infertility? But last time, there was nothing wrong. The doctor even told me to keep going and said I'd have good news this month!"
As he spoke, he pulled out another inspection form from his jacket pocket. "I'm not kidding. This is the inspection form from last time. It's written clearly in black and white. There's nothing wrong with it!"
