Chapter 179 Prescription

Jiang Mi felt that the system was tricking her, but she also wanted to know what the system was up to, so she followed up by asking, "What are you going to give me in exchange? If it's not something good, I won't agree. Don't try to renege on your promise!"

The system seemed certain that Jiang Mi would agree.

This is exactly what you need right now; it's medicine to treat the epidemic.

"A medicine to treat the epidemic?" Jiang Mi was really tempted. After all, many people's lives were hanging by a thread, and one by one they fell ill with the infectious disease. Even the government couldn't do anything about it. If there were a medicine that could treat the symptoms, wouldn't everyone be able to get treatment? Her older brother Jiang Yan and Huo Ran could both recover.

The system said smugly, "So? Would you like to exchange this reward? Doesn't it sound tempting?"

Hearing the system's cheeky voice, Jiang Mi was furious, but there was nothing she could do. The medicine she had could only relieve the symptoms; whether it could cure the epidemic was still unknown. Even the doctors couldn't guarantee it, which showed how fierce this epidemic was.

At this moment, her sister-in-law Liu He suddenly started crying. Jiang Mi panicked and rushed downstairs to see what was happening. She found that her mother and the others were already waiting outside her brother's room.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Why are you crying, sister-in-law? What happened to brother?" Jiang Mi asked anxiously, genuinely worried that something might have happened to her brother.

Jiang's mother, who was usually very strong, also had tears in her eyes at this moment. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said sadly, "Since yesterday, your sister-in-law has been saying that your brother has not been able to eat anything. Today, he has been unconscious all day and has not woken up. No matter how we call him, we can't wake him up. Just now, your sister-in-law broke down and cried."

Jiang Mi looked around. Everyone was gathered here, their faces filled with worry and fear. A perfectly healthy person had suddenly become like this; no one could accept it.

Jiang Mi still remembers how happy her older brother was when she first came back. So he had already been infected back then?

“Madam Jiang, I was too embarrassed to say this, but I’ve actually been feeling unwell these past two days. However, the restaurant doesn’t have many medicines, so I’ve just been enduring it on my own.”

At this moment, the head chef of the restaurant suddenly spoke, and everyone around him immediately moved away, looking at him in horror. At the same time, everyone was also afraid that they would be infected.

Jiang Mi calmly observed everyone's state, perhaps she herself had also been infected, but the symptoms had not yet appeared.

Jiang Mi had no choice but to choose the appropriate medication, since she didn't need any weapons right now; saving everyone was the most important thing.

"System, I've decided to change it. Give me the prescription now."

The system was not surprised by Jiang Mi's choice, after all, in the current situation, Jiang Mi had no other choice.

[The reward has been issued. Please check your account. In addition, after saving the patient, you will gain progress towards becoming a "good woman," and there will be further rewards for you.]

"A new reward?" Jiang Mi's eyes lit up when she heard this. "What reward?"

I haven't decided yet, but it's definitely good for you. When have I ever wronged you?

Jiang Mi felt much better. She didn't care about arguing with the system anymore. She took the prescription and quickly got her people to do it.

“Mother, I remember seeing a prescription in my second and third brothers’ books before. It seems to be the right treatment for our current epidemic. I still remember the prescription. Let’s try it.”

With tears still on her face, Jiang's mother hesitated and said, "But... you only remember the general outline now. What if you make a mistake? Wouldn't that backfire? This is a matter of life and death, Honey, don't do anything reckless."

Jiang Mi knew that everyone would not believe her at first, so she tried her best to persuade them: "But the doctor just came. What did he say? Did he say that now it can only be up to my brother to tough it out, and whether he can pull through depends on his own fate? Rather than leaving it to fate, we might as well take our own lives into our own hands."

No one else spoke. Everyone admired Jiang Mi, especially her mother. She felt her daughter seemed capable of anything, almost omnipotent. Although she hesitated, she already had faith in Jiang Mi.

I've already believed in more than half of it.

Jiang Cheng was the first to express his support for Jiang Mi.

"Let's give it a try. Things are already this bad, they can't get any worse. Let's use Yan'er's life as a test. If it succeeds, the two siblings will have made a great contribution to the people of Shushan County."

Upon hearing this, Jiang's mother couldn't stop her tears from flowing. She just felt sorry for her son. Although she usually doted on her younger daughter more, Jiang Yan was her first child. How could a mother not love her son?

Seeing her distressed mother, Jiang Mi comforted her, saying, "Mom, don't worry, I promise you, I will definitely be able to cure my brother's illness."

Seeing Jiang Mi speak with such certainty, Jiang's mother wiped away her tears and asked curiously, "Honey, what do you mean by that? You haven't studied medicine, how can you make such a guarantee? If word gets out, what will people say about you? If you succeed, that's fine, but what if... you shouldn't be so sure of yourself."

Jiang Mi knew she should keep a low profile; she was only saying these things to put her mother at ease.

"Mom, don't worry, brother will be fine, everyone will get better." Jiang Mi was very confident now, and immediately went to study the prescription after she finished speaking.

When the doctor came to examine Jiang Yan, Jiang Mi stopped him and asked, "Doctor, please take a look. Are these medicines the right treatment for me?"

The doctor was too busy to pay attention to Jiang Mi, so he said perfunctorily, "I know you are anxious, but this condition cannot be cured in a short time. As family members, you need to stay calm, otherwise the patient will panic even more."

Seeing that the doctor was unwilling to look at her prescription, Jiang Mi read it aloud: "Are these medicines the right ones for your symptoms?"

The doctor froze upon hearing this, looking at Jiang Mi in surprise: "The prescription you mentioned seems to be somewhat effective, but there are two medicines in it that I've never heard of before. One of them is extremely rare. How did you obtain this prescription?"

Jiang Mi then made up a nonsensical excuse: "I saw it in a book passed down in my family. My ancestors were also doctors, but they declined later. I found this prescription while reading books these past few days. If the doctor thinks it's okay, I'll try it on my older brother."

The doctor hesitated and said, "But there is one ingredient in this that is very difficult to obtain."
