Chapter 6: Su Xiaohan (2/2)



"Mom, why don't we roast sweet potatoes and sell them? They're much more expensive here than in our village."

Chen Shuyun said as she put the clothes on the washboard.

"It's a lot more expensive than in the village, but coal is expensive in the city, and firewood costs money too. Add to that the costs, and I don't know if I can still make money."

Su Ying sighed in her heart, and suddenly she wondered why she had chosen medicine as her major. It was so difficult. If she had chosen finance, it would have been much better. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to worry about medicine money and livelihood in the 1980s.

But this sweet potato was really delicious. She quickly finished her half and put the other half aside on the table.

"Mom, wash it after you finish eating, it will be cold soon..."

Just as she said this, she felt a sharp pain in her head, like a needle prick, and she felt dizzy and black in front of her eyes.

She quickly closed her eyes and held on to the bed tightly with her hands.

This damn problem, why is it coming back again? The symptoms of this sequelae are different every time. Sometimes it is a headache, sometimes it is nausea and vomiting, and sometimes I can't even see.

She originally wanted to get some Chinese medicine for herself, but when she asked at the herbal medicine market in the morning, she found out that a prescription would cost twenty-two yuan. She had already spent a lot on the X-rays and Western medicine. Now Chen Shuyun probably only had thirty yuan left. They were still living in a guesthouse and needed food and drink.

If I spend all the money on medicine, what will I do in the future?

Su Ying also wanted to find a job in a hospital, but jobs in hospitals required a graduation certificate, and most small clinics did not recruit people, so all the workers were family members. She couldn't find a job for the time being.

If you want to do business, you don’t have the money to make mistakes yet.

The sharp pain attacked the messy thoughts in her mind. She could not think of anything and just tried her best to endure it and not let it out.

Chen Shuyun was washing clothes quickly. The room became quiet except for the sound of washing water.

"Dong Dong Dong"

Hearing the knock on the door, Chen Shuyun wiped her hands on her clothes and went to open the door.

"Her dad, why are you here? Don't you have to go to work today?"

Su Jianshe just nodded and walked in, and went straight to Su Ying.

"I want to talk to you."

Su Ying slowly opened her eyes. As she endured the pain, a layer of fine sweat beads appeared on her forehead and her eyes were slightly red.

"good"

She stood up by supporting herself on the bed and smiled at Chen Shuyun.

"Mom, I told... him to go out and tell him to eat the sweet potatoes. They won't taste good if they're cold."

Her legs were a little shaky, but she was still steady, though she walked a little slowly.

Chen Shuyun was completely focused on Su Jianshe and didn't notice anything unusual about her. She didn't know what Su Jianshe wanted to talk to Su Ying about and was a little worried.

"Yingying, talk to your dad nicely and don't quarrel."

Su Ying nodded slightly and closed the door. She leaned against the wall and grabbed her hair tightly with her hands.
