After watching Lu Yi leave, Ye Ran turned around and went home, stopping and starting along the way, in a pretty good mood.

The next morning, after seeing Ye Jun and his wife off, Ye Ran quickly packed her things and headed into the city.

The distance from Liuye Village to the county town wasn't long, but it wasn't short either. It would take about half an hour to walk there, but Ye Ran had something she wanted to do today, so she quickened her pace, afraid that if she was late, she wouldn't be able to save Granny Hou.

Who knew Ye Ran would have such good luck today? Just as she stepped out of the village, she heard someone calling her, "Ranran? Where are you going? Are you heading to the city? Come on, Uncle will give you a ride."

Ye Ran looked behind her with delight, "Uncle Niu, you're going to town today too? That's great, I can hitch a ride with you!"

Uncle Niu is the tractor driver in Willow Leaf Village, and he's very popular there because of his job. Uncle Niu is a very kind person; he often gives people rides to town and helps villagers carry things, so Ye Ran likes him very much.

However, Uncle Niu would fall into a ditch while transporting goods in winter, resulting in paralysis and a very miserable later life.

Thinking of how Uncle Niu had always taken care of her, Ye Ran thought to herself that she must help Uncle Niu out.

Thinking it over, he climbed into the car and chatted and laughed with Uncle Niu all the way. Before long, they arrived in the city.

The two parted ways outside the supply and marketing cooperative. Ye Ran told Uncle Niu that she had come to the cooperative to buy hair ties, but to her surprise, Uncle Niu kindly escorted her to the entrance of the cooperative.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Ran headed west of the city. When she arrived there, she found that the location of these things was indeed carefully chosen, and this area was completely deserted.

Ye Ran looked around and immediately located Hou Zhiqiang's house, because she spotted an old woman slumped on the steps of a house, groaning and moaning.

Hou Zhiqiang's house was indeed directly opposite the entrance, but it was quite a distance away, and it was a separate house. No wonder no one heard the old lady calling out.

Ye Ran rushed over and gently helped the old lady up. "Auntie, what's wrong?"

"Ouch! Girl, I just slipped and fell down the steps, and now my back hurts so badly."

"What should we do? Auntie, where are your family members?"

"My son and daughter-in-law went out on something, and no one is home now..."

"Then I'll take you to the hospital first! Auntie, you can't delay." Ye Ran helped the old lady up and carried her on her back.

The old lady was already light, and Ye Ran's physical condition had improved significantly after consuming the dew from the space, so she carried the old lady to the hospital without much effort.

The doctor immediately understood what had happened after examining the bones, saying, "You've broken your coccyx. How could you be so careless? Elderly people's bones are brittle and easily injured!"

Grandma Hou quickly explained to Ye Ran, "No, doctor, it has nothing to do with this girl, it's my own fault..."

"Yes, yes, I'm so sorry to trouble you, doctor!" Ye Ran took over the conversation immediately.

Seeing the old lady in so much pain, Ye Ran felt a pang of sympathy.

Finally, the doctor treated Grandma Hou's wound and gave her a painkiller.

After the treatment was completed, Grandma Hou felt much better. After all, she was getting old and her energy was limited. She soon fell into a deep sleep.

She didn't know how much time had passed when the ward door was suddenly flung open. Seeing the person rushing in, Ye Ran secretly rejoiced; she had succeeded…
