Chapter 278: Can't Survive Twelve Strange Genetic Diseases
Ye Xiaomei let out a long breath when she left the Sunshine Community.
The sunshine in the city and the countryside seemed to come from different places. One was shining on the concrete ground, baking the earth. Ye Xiaomei wondered if it was autumn in September.
When she took a taxi back to school, it was the break after the second class.
Everyone in the class was chatting and making noise, but my deskmate Zhou He was the only one who was still burying his head in his books as before.
Shang Zhen saw Ye Xiaomei come out quickly after winning:
"What's wrong? They didn't do anything to you, did they?" Shang Zhen didn't dare to speak loudly, his eyes were full of tension and fear.
Ye Xiaomei was so angry that it was all over her face. She stuffed her schoolbag into the bookcase and said coldly:
"Let's talk after school."
Shang Zhen was stunned for a few seconds, scratched his head and returned to his seat sleepily.
After all, it was just the beginning of the school year, and the students hadn't yet recovered from their crazy summer vacation spirit. The teacher knocked on the blackboard eraser more than a dozen times during one class, and as soon as school was over, they were like a chicken coop opened, rushing out of the classroom in a frenzy.
Ye Xiaomei hurried to the rental house with brisk steps, fearing that her mother would be unable to handle the situation by herself. Unexpectedly, Jia Nannan had already arrived and was chatting with Zhao Mei.
Ye Xiaomei took the apron and tried to help, but Shang Zhen caught up with her:
"Xiao Mei, I know you must be very angry, right? But you have to listen to my explanation of this matter."
Zhao Mei in the store just stretched her neck to take a look, but there were too many customers at this hour and she had no time to ask any questions and was only concerned with serving the guests.
Ye Xiaomei stood at the entrance and looked at Shang Zhen. Her spiky hair was particularly heartbreaking:
"What do you want to explain? I think you have forgotten that you are still a student. If the school finds out that you gamble, be careful. This thing is not fun. There will be a black mark on you in your future graduation handbook."
Shang Zhen put her hands on her hips and turned around anxiously. The autumn heat was still very strong and she was soon sweating all over her face:
"They cheated me and I got scammed."
Ye Xiaomei almost laughed out of anger: "If you don't hang out with them, can they fool you? Why don't you fool me?"
Shang Zhen was speechless for a moment. Although what he said made sense, it still made people feel sad:
"Okay, I was wrong, but I just want to know if you really deserve the 80,000?"
"I said I didn't lose money, will you go to gamble again next time?" Ye Xiaomei saw through it, and she really wanted to lie and say she lost money, so that she would remember it:
"The Flying Disco was shut down a long time ago. Opening a casino secretly is illegal. How can you be so brave?"
Ye Xiaomei was too lazy to turn to her. Seeing her eyelids drooping after hearing this, Ye Xiaomei was too lazy to continue speaking:
"I promised to help her cure her daughter's illness. This is not an easy task. Anyway, you can't sit idle. Go and work."
Shang Zhen suddenly raised his head, with a slight smile on his face:
"You still have a way."
"Don't get into these bad habits in the future. There will be no good results. Xue Wenhao, who is such a veteran, was wiped out. He may even be sentenced to death. If you are not afraid of death, continue."
Ye Xiaomei added, stepped into the store and whispered:
"I'm telling you, my mom doesn't know anything. You'd better not mention it to her."
Country people are already very satisfied with feudalism. If Zhao Mei knew about this, she would probably be so scared that she would faint.
Although it was a bit busy at noon, it was more than enough for four people, and lunchtime was basically over around 2pm.
Zhao Mei took charge of cleaning the house and forced her three children to go to school.
"Shang Zhen, I thought you didn't want to study anymore." Jia Nannan's personality is obviously much more cheerful than before.
"Why not study?" Shang Zhen squinted his eyes and looked at the big sun in the sky, muttering, "Why is it still so hot?"
"It's starting to get cooler early in the morning and late at night." Jia Nannan said as the three of them returned to school for class.
In the evening, Ye Xiaomei received a call from the Military General Hospital, and a chief physician had been arranged.
What Ye Xiaomei didn't expect was that the person who made the call was Ye Lan.
"Thank you." Ye Xiaomei didn't think much about it. It was a good idea to find her. After all, she was a popular member of the research team. Although she was not the most senior, she had the right to make adjustments.
Mrs. Xue was notified to go to the hospital at 8:30 tomorrow morning, to the ENT department.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaomei was stopped outside the school at eight o'clock the next morning.
Mrs. Xue got out of the black Kia Sportage. She took off her sunglasses and her noble look revealed an imperceptible kindness.
"You promised me that you would cure Nannan's illness, so you must go."
These words still revealed her unquestionable character, but her tone was much softer.
Ye Xiaomei looked around the campus and saw that all the students were filing into the classrooms:
"I have to go to class. Today's classes are all main subjects."
Mrs. Xue also took a look at the campus and said, "Okay, you will have time to go there tomorrow since it's a weekend off."
Ye Xiaomei thought about it for a while, but she had to do what she promised to others:
"Okay then." She was planning to go shopping during the weekend. Just like Tang Buci said, she was not so poor that she couldn't afford to eat. She had to buy a couple of decent clothes.
"Well, that's what I said." Mrs. Xue returned to the car. The driver was surprised:
"Madam, are you so nice to talk to?"
Aunt Zhang, who was holding her daughter in the back seat, sighed. She was the only one who knew why the lady was so tolerant of this girl.
"It's just one child. There's no point in making things difficult for her." Mrs. Xue did not admit the reason.
"But this girl is not simple. I heard that she hurt one of our people last night." The driver was a little unconvinced.
I have been driving for Mrs. Xue for more than ten years, and I have never seen her be so tolerant. She shouldn't be the kind of person who seeks revenge.
Mrs. Xue pinched her brows and said coldly: "That's because they are incompetent."
Besides, she had inquired about Ye Xiaomei. She was born in the countryside and her family was poor, but she was very capable despite her young age. Now she was a member of the research and development team of the General Hospital of the Military.
She looked at her daughter in the mirror with pity. If her daughter could speak and was not sick, perhaps she would get good grades in school in two years and become the pride of her parents like Ye Xiaomei.
No, she was the only one who was proud.
Thinking of not being able to live past the age of twelve, Mrs. Xue's heart turned cold: "Just drive your car carefully and don't ask questions that you don't need to ask."
The driver kept silent and no one dared to say anything.
In the classroom, the teacher walked back and forth after the lesson, checking each student's notes.
Ye Xiaomei spread out her notes and fell into deep thought.
It is indeed strange. Polio is not hereditary, but what kind of genetic disease is death before the age of twelve?
Xue Wenhao is already over 50 years old, isn't he doing fine?
Hiss... Logically speaking, this is not caused by genetics, but the words that Mrs. Xue said linger in my ears.
All of Xue Wenhao's children died before the age of twelve.
Is this really retribution?
Ye Xiaomei suddenly came back to her senses. No, no, no, this is a bit superstitious. The older generation in her hometown in the countryside likes to say that good people don't live long, but bad things happen for thousands of years.
There is no such thing as retribution in this world.
It's over. Ye Xiaomei started to be curious about the type of disease, just like she was curious about Tang Buci's disease. It was very strange.
I wonder if Teacher Xie’s beard would stand up when he knew this?
Out of curiosity, Ye Xiaomei went to the Military General Hospital on her own the next day without waiting for Mrs. Xue to pick her up. This time, she had to bring Shang Zhen along.
Who caused this trouble? Let her see how much trouble it is for me to clean up her mess.
