Chapter 272: Deliberately Making Myself Ugly



Yun Huaying answered this point bluntly, "I just took the old man's pulse. He did faint from a sudden emergency. The doctor you hired used a medicine made with high-grade ginseng, which should have woken him up after three to five days of taking it. He hasn't woken up yet and is still unconscious. Someone must have poisoned him again. Judging from the color of his lips, I infer that the poison has been in his system for about three days. It's not fatal. Without an antidote, he won't wake up within two weeks."

He Jun had no doubt about her and quickly asked the key question: "Sister Ying, how did this poison get into my grandfather's body? Did he eat it?"

"It wasn't food. The poison was artificially applied to your grandfather's cochlea, seeping in through the skin. The ears are on the sides of the head, and if the toxin gets on the skin, it can quickly seep into the brain, allowing the poison to take effect the fastest."

The He family members looked extremely solemn at this time. They all had suspects in their minds, but they did not say it in front of Yun Huaying.

Yun Huaying didn't interfere in their family affairs and carefully examined Mr. He again. Only after she withdrew her hand did Mr. He ask, "Comrade Xiaoying, besides being poisoned, does my father have any other health problems?"

"The last emergency left some sequelae, but they're not serious. The doctor I met was quite good and prescribed good medicine. I'll be fine after taking it on time for a full course of treatment."

He's father felt relieved after hearing this and made another request: "Comrade Xiaoying, you easily diagnosed my father's poisoning. Your medical skills are superb. Could you please help my father get an antidote?"

"Can."

This minor poison was no big deal to Yun Huaying. Seeing a pen and paper on the table next to her, she scribbled down an antidote and handed it to He's father: "Prepare the medicine according to this. Just take one dose. You'll wake up within two hours."

"Comrade Xiaoying, thank you." He's father's eyes changed when he saw her, and he said to his son, "Xiaojun, I'm going to get the medicine. You stay home and talk to your sister Ying. Treat her well."

"OK."

He Jun treated her warmly and brought out all kinds of good things from his home, even the chocolate that he usually was reluctant to eat, and gave it to her.

Yun Huaying saw this good stuff that could only be bought in overseas Chinese shops and smiled: "Chocolate."

"Sister Ying, you are indeed not an ordinary person. You can tell from looking at it that you have eaten a lot of chocolate."

Yun Huaying took only one piece, lifted her mask slightly to taste it slowly, and said, "This is the worst quality chocolate."

He Jun: "...Really?"

"Do you like chocolate?" Yun Huaying asked back.

"I like it. Who wouldn't like such an expensive foreign thing?" He Jun didn't like it at first, but the more he ate, the better it tasted.

"I'll bring you two boxes of good quality next time."

Yun Huaying also likes to eat chocolate and is very picky. The chocolates stored in her space are all the purest ones purchased when she traveled abroad. She usually can't bear to eat them.

He Jun knew that the goods she had were all high-quality, and said with a smile: "I won't be polite with you."

The gentle and virtuous He's mother poured her a cup of tea and brought her a fruit plate. Seeing that she and her son were getting along well, she asked softly, "Comrade Xiaoying, how old are you? Are you married?"

"18 years old, single."

"Ah? Sister Ying, you are only 18 years old?" He Jun was shocked.

"What, do you think I'm 38?" Yun Huaying looked at him with a death stare.

He Jun: "...No, not 38, maybe 28."

Every time she went to the black market, she would dress herself up to look mature, covering her features and applying yellowish makeup to her skin. He Jun had always thought she was a married woman. Now, he stared closely at her profile and said with a grin, "Sister Ying, I didn't look at you carefully before, but now I realize that you must be very beautiful. You deliberately made yourself look ugly because you're afraid of being recognized."

Yun Huaying did not deny it, which was considered an admission.

"Sister Ying, do you have a partner?" He Jun had some plans in mind. If she didn't have a partner, he could match her up with his elder brother.

Yun Huaying didn't see what he was thinking, so she softened her tone and said, "Yes."

He Jun felt a little sorry to see that she had a boyfriend. He also remembered the first time he met her. She went to the black market with a man to sell wild game. Later, she beat up Yao Dachun and his men. He confirmed with her: "Is he the man who beat up Yao Dachun and his men?"

"Yeah." Yun Huaying nodded in acknowledgment.

"He's very skilled." He Jun remembered him single-handedly taking on multiple people, beating Yao Dachun and his men so hard they couldn't get out of bed for half a month. He grinned and asked, "Why hasn't he accompanied you to the black market recently?"

"He has to go to work and is usually very busy."

He Jun had a certain perspective on people, so he had a guess: "Is your partner a soldier?"

"Yeah." Yun Huaying admitted, and warned him: "Don't tell anyone else."

"I know. I won't say anything more."

Under the guidance of his elders at home, He Jun understood that one should not discuss or inquire too much about military matters.

He's father was very quick and brought the medicine back in just twenty minutes. Yun Huaying patiently taught them how to decoct the medicine and only said goodbye and went home after she had fed the medicine to Grandpa He.

Of course, she also happily accepted the huge sum of more than 20,000 yuan that He Jun gave her.

He Jun was a very generous person, and since Yun Huaying had helped their family a lot, he took out all the money in his father's passbook and gave it to her at once, and also gave her a large bag of canned milk powder as a thank you gift.

When Yun Huaying walked to the main street with her bag on her back, Han Zheng happened to come from another road on his bicycle and called out from a distance: "Huaying."

He had just ridden his bicycle around the county town several times and also looked for her at the black market, but he hadn't seen her and was very worried.
