"You know Accountant Zhao, the one who borrowed grain. His youngest daughter, Zhao Meimei, came over yesterday and specifically asked Duan Zhiyu to eat at his house, all three meals a day. Duan Zhiyu brought Qin Qiaoqiao with him."
After Chen Fenglan finished speaking, she looked around.
"I think she's probably interested in Duan, the educated youth."
Her eye for people is never wrong.
"So that's how it is."
No wonder I didn't see the two of them at the educated youth center today; it turns out they have a small canteen now.
"Ruan Zhiqing, can we have a meal together with you?"
As the two were talking, Li Haonan and Li Haobei walked in carrying firewood.
I leaned closer to smell the aroma of Ruan Qiushui's food, and my stomach started growling.
Yesterday, they tried cooking a meal and almost died. They're never going to cook again today.
"I'm sorry, I'm not used to eating with other people. Why don't you go find someone else?"
Making delicious food for yourself or your loved ones is a pleasure.
But if you're cooking for unrelated people and putting her in the chef's position, she'll get impatient.
"Oh well."
The two golden retrievers left disappointed, then turned and walked out of Chen Fenglan's place with smiles.
Compared to Duan Zhiyu and Qin Qiaoqiao, Chen Fenglan would naturally prefer to team up with the two brothers.
At least it's not offensive.
After finishing her meal, Ruan Qiushui left the courtyard to familiarize herself with the village's environment and to digest her food.
Before I knew it, I had arrived at the big locust tree at the entrance of the brigade.
At that moment, the brigade's intelligence department was exchanging information and talking enthusiastically, so Ruan Qiushui didn't even notice when she approached.
For some reason, one of the women suddenly screamed, then collapsed to the ground convulsing, clenching her teeth, and also experiencing urinary incontinence.
"Oh my god, what's going on? Old Zhang's son has fainted again."
"We didn't touch her, so we don't want her to claim otherwise."
"Is she going to die? How many times has this happened already?"
The aunties surrounded Wu Guihua, chattering amongst themselves, unsure of what to do.
If someone dies, who among them will be the one to suffer the consequences?
"Aunties, listen to me, please disperse."
With lives at stake, Ruan Qiushui quickly squeezed into the encirclement.
"Everyone, step back."
Xie Xiuying didn't know what her future daughter-in-law wanted to do, but she still made the villagers disperse.
Ruan Qiushui quickly untied her aunt's collar and belt.
Then, pretending to take a silver needle out of his bag, he inserted it into two acupoints on the ear: Jiaogan and Shenmen (do not imitate).
"She's awake, she's awake."
Xie Xiuying was shocked to see Wu Guihua, who was supposed to be dying, open her eyes.
"My God, this girl is amazing."
"Is she a new educated youth? She's really capable."
…
"Am I having another episode?"
Wu Guihua was still a little weak and felt that her crotch was wet, which made her feel embarrassed.
"Oh my god, Osmanthus, you have no idea how scared you just now!"
"Yes, you suddenly collapsed, and you were convulsing. We almost thought you were going to die."
"Thanks to this kind girl, she gave you two acupuncture needles and you woke up."
The aunties chattered excitedly, one after another, as if they were the ones who had saved the person.
"Really? It was all better after just two injections?"
Wu Guihua was surprised and struggled to sit up.
Over the past three years, she has fainted and convulsed more than ten times for no apparent reason.
I've been to the town hospital and taken the prescribed medicine, but the illness just won't get better, and I'm fainting more often than before.
"Auntie, don't move yet, let me check you again."
Ruan Qiushui took Wu Guihua's pulse. Her pulse was normal, she had no high fever, and her breathing was stable. Only then did she feel relieved.
"Auntie, this is a sudden epileptic seizure. Has she suffered a head injury before? Or does anyone in your family have a history of this condition?"
Ruan Qiushui gently helped Wu Guihua up.
"I... I hit my head on a rock before, does that count?"
No one in the family had ever fainted like that before.
"That's it, Auntie, this is epilepsy caused by a head injury."
"Auntie should take better care of her health in the future, ensuring sufficient sleep and a healthy diet. If possible, she can take some traditional Chinese medicine pills to regulate her body."
Repeated seizures not only pose risks such as danger during seizures, personality changes, and memory loss, but also increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
"Daughter, tell me, what medicine should I take?"
In just a short while, Wu Guihua had unconditionally come to believe Ruan Qiushui.
This girl might be the one who turns the tide in a disease that even hospitals are helpless against.
“Auntie, to be honest, my grandfather was a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. I grew up surrounded by medicine, so my skills are quite good. If you don’t mind, I have some pills for treating epilepsy here. You can take them home and try them.”
Inside the space, she did cultivate a batch of Gastrodia elata, Angelica sinensis, and Arisaema cum Bile.
With the addition of auxiliary drugs, it can be made into pills for treating epilepsy.
"Alright, alright, Auntie will get you the medicine. Girl, you live in the educated youth center, right? Auntie will come find you in a bit."
"Xiuying, help me up."
She needs to go back and think about what she has at home that she can be proud of.
First, there was the girl's life-saving grace, and then there was the cost of the medicine; we couldn't be stingy with that.
"Okay, then I'll go back and prepare the medicine first."
After Ruan Qiushui finished speaking, she bid farewell to the aunties and walked back.
After Ruan Qiushui left, the aunties immediately started talking animatedly about what had just happened.
From then on, Ruan Qiushui became quite famous in the Hongqi Production Brigade.
"Is Qiu Shui here?"
Wu Guihua went home to change her clothes and then led her eldest son to the educated youth settlement.
"Auntie, how come it's so fast?"
Ruan Qiushui took advantage of the break in the restroom to go to her space and process the Chinese medicine into pills.
"I was just in a hurry to take my medicine."
If Ruan's medical skills are really that high, taking the medicine sooner will definitely help her recover sooner.
Wu Guihua no longer wanted to experience the pain of fainting and incontinence.
Sometimes when I wake up, my whole body, including my hands and feet, aches.
"Girl, this is a thank-you gift I brought. You must accept it."
Wu Guihua pointed to the bamboo basket her eldest son had brought.
Inside were twenty eggs, an old hen with its wings tied, and some dried mountain produce.
"Ruan Zhiqing, thank you for saving my mother. If you ever need anything in the future, just let us know, and we'll definitely help if we can."
Zhang Xianfeng scratched his head sheepishly.
"Girl, how much is this medicine?"
After speaking softly, Wu Guihua looked around.
These days, buying and selling isn't common; if she wants to pay, it has to be done privately.
“Auntie, your gift of gratitude is already generous enough. I won’t ask for the money for the medicine this time.”
For the people of the village, a hen that lays eggs is a treasure.
Wu Guihua was already very generous to offer a hen and eggs as a token of her gratitude.
The medicinal herbs in the space cost almost nothing. If they were sold at market price, Wu Guihua probably couldn't afford them, so it's better to do her a favor.
"That won't do. If you don't want the money, I don't want the medicine either."
Wu Guihua is still very principled.
