Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 584

Li Yutong hurriedly entered the nurse’s station to change clothes.

Qi Qiaoqiao, who has always had it out for her, saw her coming in late again: "Li Yutong, I’ve had the worst luck for the last eight lifetimes to be in the same team as you."

Having just been reprimanded, Li Yutong dared not stir up trouble again and could only bear it.

As soon as she entered the medication room, she heard a colleague say: "I heard Sister Kang had an issue at home and asked the hospital for a long leave."

Another nurse who was counting medications chimed in: "I thought so, Sister Kang looked really troubled these past few days, what’s going on at her place?"

"I heard her husband had an accident at the factory."

"Oh, I see. It must be serious, otherwise Sister Kang wouldn’t have asked for a long leave."

"Yeah, indeed."

This conversation reached Li Yutong’s ears, and her mind immediately turned to Sister Kang’s job.

She remembered hearing when she first arrived that Sister Kang was originally a temp and only recently secured a permanent position after working for many years.

With this thought in mind, she sped up her work.

She knew Sister Kang lived near the glass factory’s residential area, and she figured she could easily find her by asking around.

After rushing through her duties, Li Yutong quickly finished her shift and left the hospital.

Times have changed; without family as a safety net, she had to rely on her own wits. She knew a bit about Qiao Shanmei, who was ruthless in achieving her goals.

Now, by giving her a hand, she might owe me a favor, which could be useful in the future.

Besides, Qiao Shanmei and I share the same enemy. If she goes back to her hometown defeated, I’d lose a valuable ally, so I must find a way to keep her here.

Luckily, it didn’t take long for her to find Sister Kang’s home by asking a few people.

Just as she arrived, Sister Kang’s daughter came out with a lunchbox and spotted Li Yutong at the door: "Who are you and why are you standing at our door?"

Seeing it was a little girl, Li Yutong asked: "Excuse me, is this Sister Kang’s home?"

Sister Kang’s daughter skeptically asked: "Sister Kang, you mean Kang Yueru?"

Li Yutong quickly nodded: "Yes."

The girl furrowed her small brows: "Are you here to see my mom?"

Li Yutong looked at the little girl: "I’m your mom’s colleague, I need to talk to her about something."

When the girl heard it was her mom’s colleague: "My mom is at the hospital at the corner taking care of my dad."

Li Yutong glanced in the direction of the corner: "Then I’ll go with you."

The girl didn’t object, she carried the lunchbox and walked forward: "Then follow me."

At the hospital, seeing Li Yutong coming in with her daughter, Sister Kang couldn’t help but wrinkle her brow slightly.

This Nurse Li wasn’t easy to get along with, why was she coming along with her daughter? But upon hearing her daughter quietly mention it was to see her: "Nurse Li, is there something you need?"

Seeing the person on the sickbed, Li Yutong slightly regretted coming empty-handed, but it was too late to regret now. To avoid awkwardness, she quickly said: "Sister Kang, I came to talk to you about something, could we speak privately?"

Sister Kang felt Nurse Li was being too polite, but she couldn’t refuse her. She said to her daughter: "You go serve the soup and let it cool, I’ll be back to feed your dad in a bit."

After making arrangements, she left the ward: "Nurse Li, what is it you want to say?"

Li Yutong knew she was asking for a favor, so she tentatively asked: "How is your husband?"

With the mention of her husband, Sister Kang’s face immediately turned sorrowful: "He’s alright now, but he needs to stay in the hospital for a while."

Li Yutong offered a few words of comfort before getting to the main point.
