A surge of intense hatred welled up in Jiang Xue's heart, and she subconsciously clenched her hands hanging by her sides, her fingertips piercing her palms with force.
After exchanging items, Jiang Yao took five packs of compressed biscuits, turned around, and went home, ignoring the whispers outside.
Two hours passed, and Shen Zhijie practically followed him to the toilet. Xiao Mu was surprised to discover that Shen Zhijie had such a gossipy heart.
Xiao Mu leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and tapped his long fingers on the table as he looked at Shen Zhijie. "Your illness that kept you from seeing the light of day is cured."
Shen Zhijie stared at Xiao Mu, his body stiff, feeling as if he were being controlled by an invisible force, unable to retaliate.
After a brief pause, Shen Zhijie walked casually to sit down next to Xiao Mu, a hint of inquiry in his eyes: "Are you serious?"
Seeing that Xiao Mu was ignoring him, he picked up a cigarette from the table, lit it, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring...
Jiang Yao returned home and sat weakly on the sofa, feeling that today was probably the most humiliating day of her life.
Shake your head, and get those thoughts out of your head.
The following day, the authorities spent a lot of money to find a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who could prepare Chinese medicine, because there was not enough Western medicine eczema ointment to go around, so they had to resort to traditional Chinese medicine.
Jiang Yao found Shen Xi, handed him the eczema prescription, and said slowly, "I hope you can keep this a secret and not tell anyone that I gave it to you."
Shen Xi looked at the prescription in his hand and said in surprise, "You are a traditional Chinese medicine doctor."
"I am not a traditional Chinese medicine doctor."
"This prescription was obtained from the famous traditional Chinese medicine master Liu Tiankui."
"You can use it with confidence." After giving the instructions, Jiang Yao took the supplies back to the ninth floor.
From afar, Jiang Sheng and Jiang Xue were arguing about something. Upon closer inspection, it became clear that Jiang Sheng was also suffering from eczema and was unbearably itchy.
I heard that Jiang Xue traded 5 packs of compressed biscuits for the eczema cream that Jiang Yao had, so she came to ask for it.
Jiang Xue looked directly into Jiang Sheng's eyes: "Can't you just bear with it a little longer?"
Thinking about how much my eczema had improved after using the medication, and looking at the little medicine left, I realized that my face also needed this medicine!
After thinking for a moment, he comforted him, "Dad, hang in there a little longer."
"The authorities should have the medicine soon."
Jiang Sheng said coldly, "I can't take it anymore."
Thinking about how she had been competing with Cai Lin's son, Da Bao, for medicine, and the accusations and insults she had received from Cai Lin and her husband, she could no longer suppress her anger.
Jiang Sheng stared intently at Jiang Xue: "You must give me the medicine today." He then reached out to snatch it.
Seeing the resentment in Jiang Sheng's eyes, Jiang Xue stepped back in fear and handed the medicine to him.
Jiang Sheng held the medicine, his eyes coldly fixed on Jiang Xue: "You'd better behave. Dad didn't want this either."
"You know what it feels like when it itches."
"Your mother and I had no choice."
Seeing Jiang Sheng's face, which was already scratched raw, Jiang Xue bit her lip lightly, her eyes reddening, "Dad, you can take the medicine away!"
Seeing Jiang Xue like this, Jiang Sheng finally softened and said, "Keep it! Your mother and I will think of another way."
In the end, Jiang Sheng couldn't bring himself to be harsh with Jiang Xue, which shows that his heart wasn't as ruthless as his daughter's.
Three days later, the authorities issued a notice stating that the eczema medication supply was sufficient and that everyone should not panic.
Everyone who received the eczema medicine praised and affirmed the person who provided the prescription.
When Jiang Yao saw Shen Zhijie and Xiao Mu again, she was queuing up to receive eczema medicine.
Shen Zhijie waved to Jiang Yao and called out, "Jiang Yao, why didn't you call me and Xiao Mu when you came to get the potion?"
Jiang Xue saw Xiao Mu secretly praying that he would notice her. Her hand unconsciously touched her cheek. Although the eczema on her face had healed, she wondered if Xiao Mu would like to see her.
Jiang Yao looked at Xiao Mu, sensing that something was different.
When Xiao Mu saw Jiang Yao looking at him, the smile in his eyes spread, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he nodded in acknowledgment.
Jiang Xue saw Xiao Mu nod to her, and her cheeks slowly flushed red. She unconsciously touched her cheeks, and her smile was wide. Just then, she heard the person behind her say, "Are you going to take the medicine or not? If not, stand aside."
"Don't block the way."
Jiang Xue's face flushed red to her ears instantly. She didn't dare to look up at Xiao Mu, and now she just hoped that Xiao Mu hadn't seen her.
Why did it have to be my turn at this time? Damn it, can't you just talk properly?
When the official, Brother Wang, saw Jiang Xue standing there with a flushed face, neither going forward to get the medicine nor turning around to leave, she just stood there, seemingly lost in thought.
People at the back of the line started to murmur amongst themselves. Brother Wang frowned and said in a loud voice, "Hey, what's wrong with you? Do you want the medicine or not?"
This was a major social disaster moment. Jiang Xue blushed, stepped forward to pick up the medicine, and glanced at her older sister behind her as she turned to run away.
Isn't this the fierce woman who twists her husband's ear?
When Jiang Yao saw Xiao Mu nod to her, she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu was a man with deep-set features, neat short hair, and a height of just over 1.8 meters. He possessed a noble air, and even when he stood there quietly, doing nothing, he drew everyone's attention. If power was every man's aspiration, then Xiao Mu was every woman's fantasy.
Seeing that Jiang Yao wasn't looking at him, Shen Zhijie pulled Xiao Mu to Jiang Yao's side.
Shen Zhijie gave the older sister behind him his signature smile: "Sister, I know the girl in front of you. Could you let us stand here and wait in line?"
