Shen Zhenbang also looked thoughtful, clearly feeling that something was wrong, wondering if his wife's illness had worsened or if there were other factors at play.
Just then, He Wanrou sighed and said softly:
"Oh dear! Nurse Yuan, you don't know this! Auntie's attack this time is mainly because she's been in a bad mood lately, and her emotions fluctuated wildly last night! Just think, she was both angry and happy last night, going through several highs and lows! Such emotional excitement is a major taboo for angina attacks!"
Then she looked at Shen Zhenbang and said:
"Have you forgotten? When Auntie first fell ill, wasn't it because a bunch of things were piling up at home, and she was too emotionally agitated, that it was triggered? Taking medication on time is the foundation, but if you can't control your emotions, it will still flare up! It's not like taking medication guarantees absolute safety!"
Yuan Xiaoyuan listened and agreed, nodding in agreement.
"Yes, Nurse He is right. Auntie has angina, so she really needs to be careful to keep her emotions calm and not get too excited. Extreme joy or sorrow can easily trigger it, so emotional management is very important."
The Shen family father and son already knew this was the truth. Too many things had indeed happened last night. Qin Peilan's emotions fluctuated greatly throughout the night. Although it was all because she was happy, she was indeed too excited.
Shen Huaichuan said to Yuan Xiaoyuan, "Yes, we understand. We will pay more attention in the future. Thank you for your help, Nurse Yuan."
Yuan Xiaoyuan waved her hand, "It's nothing, it's nothing, I should go now."
At this moment, Zhou Qiqi spoke up, "Xiaoyuan, let me see you off."
She told Yuan Xiaoyuan to wait at the gate, then turned around and went back into the house to quickly grab a coat. She then took out a large net bag of snacks and pastries she had bought at the department store the day before and stuffed it into Yuan Xiaoyuan's hands.
When they arrived at the courtyard gate, Zhou Qiqi stuffed the net into Yuan Xiaoyuan's hand: "Here, thank you for your hard work today."
Upon seeing the bag full of rare delicacies, Yuan Xiaoyuan knew it was expensive and quickly declined.
"Oh, Sister Qiqi, this is too much! I just came to take a look, it's all part of my job, how can I accept such an expensive gift from you! Take it back, take it back!"
Zhou Qiqi forcefully shoved the net into her hand:
"Take it! You've gone to a lot of trouble to make this trip, so it puts our minds at ease. Besides, I have something important I'd like to ask you for help with privately. If you don't accept it, I'll feel embarrassed to ask."
Upon hearing that it was an important matter, Yuan Xiaoyuan paused in her refusal.
She knew Zhou Qiqi's character and abilities well; for her to speak of something so important in such a serious manner, it must be something significant.
She immediately stopped refusing, took the things, and lowered her voice, speaking seriously:
"Sister Qiqi, what is it? I'll do my best to help if I can."
Zhou Qiqi didn't beat around the bush, and said in a serious tone in a low voice:
"Xiaoyuan, you used to work at the military hospital, and I noticed you seemed quite familiar with many of the doctors and pharmacists there. I'd like to ask you for a favor. Could you please help me find out more about my mother-in-law's angina? I'd like to know more about what happens when it flares up, what kind of medications she takes, what each medication is for, and any special precautions she should take. Please ask me all of this and let me know when you get back."
Yuan Xiaoyuan was taken aback and instinctively asked:
"Sister Qiqi, isn't Brother Huaichuan quite familiar with Director Ding of the military hospital? Wouldn't it be easier for you to just have Brother Huaichuan ask Director Ding directly?"
Zhou Qiqi liked her straightforward personality. She cautiously glanced back in the direction of home, then pulled Yuan Xiaoyuan's arm and walked a few steps further away, making sure no one could hear her, before continuing:
"I haven't finished speaking yet. When you go to ask for me, please don't mention that it's my family or the Shen family who want to ask. Just say... say that you have a relative in your hometown whose symptoms are similar to my mother-in-law's, and ask them to inquire about it. Also, this is a secret between you, me, and me. Don't let a third person know, okay?"
Yuan Xiaoyuan felt a surge of warmth in her heart from the serious attitude and trust in her eyes, and a sense of mission, as if entrusted with an important task, welled up within her.
Her eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded solemnly: "Okay! Sister Qiqi, I understand! I promise to complete the mission and won't tell anyone!"
Zhou Qiqi nodded, then took out a small paper packet from her pocket, containing the few dirty pills she had picked up earlier.
She carefully handed the small paper packet to Yuan Xiaoyuan and whispered:
"And this... Find an opportunity to have a trusted pharmacist at the pharmacy take a look at it discreetly and find out what kind of medicine it is and what it treats."
