Ginseng is not uncommon, but ginseng that is over 300 years old is hard to buy even with money.
"That's a family heirloom," Lin Xiazhu made up an excuse on the spot.
"Oh dear, I don't care if this ginseng is hundreds of years old, or if it's a family heirloom. I just want to know if my son will be in trouble after you force-feed him this ginseng." The fat woman interrupted the doctor and Lin Xiazhu's conversation.
"Oh, Auntie, don't worry. With this ginseng, your son's life is saved, and his life is spared." Lin Xiazhu was somewhat grateful that she had interrupted the conversation.
"How dare you speak like that? What do you mean by 'hanging one's life'?" The fat woman was even more furious.
"Madam, what this young lady said is true. Wild ginseng that's a hundred years old is very hard to find. It can greatly replenish vital energy; to put it simply, it can prolong life. Your son is now out of danger," the doctor said.
"He's alive, but when will my son wake up?" the fat woman asked anxiously.
"That depends on luck." The doctor sighed, unwilling to say more. Based on his experience, he diagnosed that the woman's son was unlikely to wake up.
The fat woman probably knew what was going on. She angrily grabbed Lin Xiazhu's collar and cursed, "My son is now a cripple. I won't let you get away with this. Don't think you can get away with this just because you got a ginseng. I won't forgive your sister."
"...Calm down. Things might still turn around. Now that your son is out of danger, once his condition stabilizes, we can send him to the provincial hospital, or even a hospital in Beijing. We'll cover the medical expenses."
He was willing to sell all of Lin Xiazhu's properties if the problem could be solved with money.
"Who cares about your money? I'll make you pay with your lives!" The fat woman's eyes were bloodshot, and she tightened her grip, as if she wanted to strangle Lin Xiazhu to death to pay for her son's life.
With a "bang," Lin Xiazhu pried the other person's hand off, and the other person was thrown away and fell to the ground.
"You...you dare push me? Ouch, help! Murder!" The fat woman lay on the ground crying and wailing, trying to attract the attention of everyone in the hospital.
Lin Xiazhu turned around and left with a cold face. She deliberately sped up and disappeared around the corner in less than ten seconds. She did not leave the hospital immediately, but went to Xiao An's ward.
Xiao An looks good; apart from not being able to walk, she's fine.
Lin Xiazhu told him about how she had given Rainbow Head ginseng to keep him alive, "...His life was saved, but he suffered a severe head injury and it's unlikely he'll wake up. He's really unlucky. Zhang Shengli and the others were thrown out of the car and they weren't even as badly injured as him. How come he's going to be crippled?"
"What did the doctor say? Is there absolutely no chance of waking up?" Xiao An seemed to be making a decision, deep in thought.
"That's roughly what the doctor meant, but I don't think so. Medical technology in a county town is limited after all. If we go to a provincial hospital or a hospital in Beijing, we can probably be cured." Lin Xiazhu really thought so, but the other party's family members didn't know what they were thinking.
It's said that the brother-in-law comes from a wealthy family and the younger brother has a high position, so why didn't they think of sending the person to a major hospital?
I always felt that the other party was up to something bad. Maybe they had already planned it, but what did they want to get from her?
Lin Xiazhu fell into deep thought, and Xiao An beside her was also lost in her own thoughts.
At two o'clock in the morning that night, in a ward of the county hospital, all the patients were asleep. The hospital corridor was eerily quiet. Xiao An opened her beautiful peach blossom eyes.
After confirming that he was the only one awake, she slowly got up, put on her slippers, touched her injured leg, and left the ward without making a sound.
I went straight to the outpatient clinic, quickly found the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, and then skillfully took out a wire, unlocked the door of the clinic, went inside, and found a set of acupuncture needles.
Next, she quietly entered the ward of the woman with the rainbow-colored hair. Neither the fat woman nor her husband were at the hospital to keep watch; they had only hired a nanny to stay in the ward. Xiao An pressed the nanny's pressure point to put her to sleep.
With everything prepared, acupuncture began for Rainbow Head. Half an hour later, Rainbow Head's head was covered with silver needles...
Three days later, Rainbow Head woke up promptly at six o'clock in the morning, startling the doctors. The seriously injured person, who had been diagnosed as being in a vegetative state, had actually woken up in a short period of time.
What a miracle!
Everyone thought it was a miracle, but Xiao An said, "It was Sister Xiao Zhu's wild ginseng that made the difference."
Doctor: "Does wild ginseng have the effect of reviving patients in a vegetative state?"
Xiao An remained calm. "Besides this explanation, is there any other more reasonable explanation?"
The doctor and the others were speechless, unable to refute the statement.
Rainbow Head has woken up, and Lin Chacha has also been released. However, the other party still wants to compensate for medical expenses, nutrition expenses, lost wages, and mental distress.
"That's outrageous! It was clearly Rainbow Head who started the trouble; they're the ones at fault. Their serious injuries are his doing, and we even gave him a wild ginseng that's over 300 years old for nothing!"
"If it weren't for this wild ginseng, it's questionable whether Rainbow Head would have survived. Now, not only is she alive, but she's also cured a person in a vegetative state. How can she not be grateful? She's a truly heartless and ungrateful wretch."
Yan Xin felt a pang of pain just thinking about it. The other party was demanding 150,000 yuan in compensation for emotional distress. Why didn't they just rob them?
"Exactly, that rainbow-haired guy is always showing off on the streets. He's just an unemployed bum, a scoundrel who's just wasting his life. He doesn't have a job at all, yet he has the nerve to ask for lost wages." Zhao Ting was also indignant.
All things considered, the other party demanded 200,000 yuan in compensation from the Lin family before they would settle the matter; otherwise, they would sue them to death.
"Bang!" Lin Chacha was so angry that she almost smashed the table. She had been detained for a week before being released, and she was completely devastated. This world was unbelievable. The party at fault became the victim, while she was locked up like a criminal for self-defense.
"I've had enough! I won't give you a single penny except for medical expenses. If I get angry, I'll take Rainbow Head down with me." When Lin Chacha gets angry, she's prone to doing stupid things.
Listen to what she's saying! She wants to fight to the death with someone. How many lives does she have to fight someone?
"Behave yourself. You're staying home for the time being and you're not allowed to go anywhere. If you dare to do anything stupid, I'll tie you up, you hear me?" Lin Xiazhu said sternly.
"I'm just so angry." Lin Chacha gasped for breath, her chest heaving.
"If you're angry, just hold it in," Lin Xiazhu snapped, then calmed down and reassured her, "You did nothing wrong, we have a clear conscience, we'll pay for your medical expenses, but don't mention any other compensation."
Trying to extort her? Not so easy. At worst, she'll fight to the bitter end in court. She'll fight to the death with the other party. People live to fight for their pride. Now that Lin Chacha has been released, she's not going to tolerate it anymore.
However, to avoid retaliation from the other party, Lin Chacha cannot go out recently, for fear that the other party will use despicable means to cripple her.
In S City, Chen Ziming had been delayed for more than a week, but finally got rid of Bai Junbai's difficulties and found an opportunity to go to Changhe County to pick up his cousin.
