Chapter 488: It's too much suffering
Not long after Bai Zhi arrived home, Gu Xiaoyue came with her mother.
When she arrived, Gu Xiaoyue was carrying a small bag of eggs.
Mu Qin smiled and looked at Bai Zhi, saying, "Dr. Bai, I heard you're going on a long trip tomorrow. I don't have much to take, so I brought you some eggs. You can boil them and eat them on the train."
Bai Zhi quickly accepted it, "Thank you, Aunt Mu, please come inside."
She looked much better, wearing a faded cotton coat and a cotton hat.
The cotton shoes on her feet looked like they were made by herself.
It's clear the shoemaker is very skilled at needlework.
The stitches are very even.
Although her clothing was simple, her overall demeanor was gentle and graceful.
"Please have a seat and some water."
Because Muqin was drinking Chinese medicine, Baizhi didn't make her tea, but poured her some hot water and brought it over.
She said to the mother and daughter, "You two drink some water to warm yourselves up first, and I'll take Aunt Mu's pulse in a bit."
"Okay, thank you, Dr. Xiaobai. I'm so sorry, you must be very busy going out. We're here to bother you."
It was clear that Mu Qin felt embarrassed for bothering Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Aunt Mu, please don't be so polite. I'm a doctor, and treating patients is my duty. There's no question of disturbing you."
Just then, Xie Zheng's voice rang out from the courtyard, "Has Aunt Mu arrived?"
Bai Zhi heard him call out and lifted the curtain to look out.
He came in briskly, carrying large and small bags.
Bai Zhi's gaze fell on the pile of things in his hands, and she asked, "What are you holding?"
Xie Zheng walked into the room and waved the things in his hand. "Didn't you say you didn't want my money? I bought you some food. You can eat it on the way. You can't refuse that, can you?"
As Xie Zheng was speaking, he saw Mu Wanqing sitting in the chair and greeted her politely, "Aunt Mu, you've already arrived?"
Mu Qin replied, "We just arrived."
Xie Zheng began unpacking the boxes.
She was still muttering, "You said carrying things takes up space, so I'll take all the bags and boxes off so they're easier to carry."
"Put the canned beef, biscuits, and this drink in a separate bag and carry it with you. It'll be easier to grab them when you want to eat them."
As Xie Zheng spoke, he had already opened all the packaging and taken out the food inside.
I bought a whole bunch of things: canned beef, biscuits, bread, chocolate, Jianlibao (a popular Chinese herbal tea brand), and more.
Gu Xiaoyue and her mother sat to the side, watching Xie Zheng take out so many high-end foods, and then looking at the eggs they had placed on the table, and suddenly felt very embarrassed.
Bai Zhi noticed out of the corner of her eye that Mu Wanqing and Gu Xiaoyue looked so uncomfortable. She said to Xie Zheng in an annoyed tone, "Big star, you're wasting your money. The packaging of these things looks nice, but they're not practical at all. You don't need to pay anymore. I'll just eat the eggs Aunt Mu gave me in the car tomorrow. That's the most economical thing. It's filling and nutritious. I can't get used to the things you bought."
"Aunt Mu gave you eggs?" Xie Zheng heard this and then realized what was going on. He scratched his head and chuckled, "These things I bought are indeed not very practical. I was afraid that Lu Ye would think I was stingy, so I reluctantly spent money to buy these things. Otherwise, I wouldn't have wasted my money."
"Then take less to display, since I've already spent the money anyway."
"I'll take one bottle; you can take the rest."
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Xie Zheng rolled his eyes.
Take it back?
He simply took out a can of beef and shared it with everyone.
"Aunt Mu, I definitely can't take these things with me. Since Dr. Bai can't take them all, let's just eat the rest."
Mu Wanqing waved her hand in refusal, "Xiao Zheng, I won't eat it. You can leave it for Dr. Xiao Bai to take to the car to eat."
"Aunt Mu, there's more. She said she wants to eat eggs in the car. Anyway, Dr. Xiaobai is leaving tomorrow, and these things will just expire if we don't eat them."
Bai Zhi smiled and replied, "Yes, take it out and eat it. I need to take less food with me on the bus."
But Bai Zhi and Gu Xiaoyue were both stuffed from the seafood feast today, and they couldn't swallow a single bite.
Xie Zheng had no intention of giving it to them.
"You two probably don't have any room to eat, right? Aunt Mu and I will eat." He opened two cans of beef, forced one on Mu Qin, and then took one for himself and started eating.
"Didn't you eat just now? Didn't you buy this for me? What are you going to eat?"
Xie Zheng spoke up bluntly, "I'm not full."
As he spoke, Xie Zheng began to complain to Mu Wanqing about the three women with a hint of resentment.
"They ate like they hadn't eaten for three days. The way they ate was unbearable to watch. They looked like they hadn't eaten for several meals."
Gu Xiaoyue felt a little embarrassed after being criticized by Xie Zheng.
I admit that my eating manners were rather unseemly today.
She also regretted being so impulsive, blindly imitating Shen Qian.
Some things cannot be severed with just one meal.
Even now, looking at Xie Zheng's face still makes her heart race.
But now she has become more rational.
Many things I'd rather keep to myself.
Bai Zhi retorted, "Isn't it because you're too stingy, treating people to a meal only once every eight hundred years?"
Xie Zheng was speechless after being confronted.
Bai Zhi prepared a first-aid kit, washed her hands, and began to take Mu Qin's pulse and examine her after Mu Qin finished eating.
After taking her pulse, she asked, "Aunt Mu, how have you been sleeping lately?"
Mu Qin replied, "My sleep is a little better than before. Although my insomnia isn't as severe, I still have light sleep and I dream a lot."
Bai Zhi carefully examined her eyes and tongue, and after asking about some symptoms, she said, "Aunt Mu, you still have some neurasthenia."
"Okay, I'll give you another acupuncture session today, and you'll feel a little better. I'll prescribe some medicine for you later, and if you take it on time, your condition will get better and better."
Mu Qin quickly stood up to express her gratitude, "Okay, thank you, Dr. Xiao Bai."
"Exercising more in the morning, especially now that the weather is cold, can help with indoor activities and take a walk after dinner, all of which can help with sleep."
"Okay, I understand."
Bai Zhi took out silver needles, disinfected them, and began to perform acupuncture on Mu Qin.
She's going to give Muqin acupuncture in the head today.
Holding the silver needles, she said to Xie Zheng and Gu Xiaoyue, who were looking at her, "You two stand a little further away, and don't make a fuss later, or it will affect my performance."
Xie Zheng didn't take her words seriously, saying, "It's not like we're unsophisticated."
He didn't seem surprised at all when he was giving himself acupuncture.
However, as Bai Zhi's silver needles were inserted into Mu Qin's head and face, Xie Zheng and Gu Xiaoyue's expressions began to crack.
Gu Xiaoyue, in particular, felt a sharp pain in her heart when she saw needles stuck in her mother's head and face.
I was also very scared.
Xie Zheng's expression was also very solemn.
Aunt Mu's head was covered in thorns.
It looks painful.
Sigh, whatever you have, don't be sick.
That was so awful.
At the same time, Xie Zheng felt extremely distressed.
If Xiaowei hadn't passed away, how could Aunt Mu have been in so much pain and gotten such an illness?
Even if Bai Zhi's medical skills are superb, she cannot cure a heart ailment.
