"Can we go now?"
You Caihua spat out the mud in her mouth. On her way back, she was running so fast that she tripped and fell flat on her face, and now her mouth was full of the taste of dirt.
She squatted down to catch her breath; her legs were still trembling from running so fast.
"That's right, twenty yuan in total."
Xie Xiuying counted the money; adding the five yuan Ma Jinhua had given her earlier, it was indeed twenty yuan.
"Eldest brother, second brother, fourth brother, release them."
With a wave of her hand, Xie Xiuying released Zhou Yi and Zhou Er's hands.
"Mother, are you alright?"
They quickly gathered around on Monday and Tuesday.
"Two useless things."
Ma Jinhua slapped her two sons across the face twice, then stormed off without asking for their help.
If Xie Xiuying dares to ask her for twenty yuan, she'll make her understand that this money isn't easy to take; just wait and see.
"Alright, everyone go back to work."
Gu Xianjin felt relieved when he saw Ma Jinhua's family slink away.
"Third son's wife, did I scare you?"
What if Ma Jinhua's attitude scares her third daughter-in-law so much that she has nightmares at night?
"Mother, I'm fine."
I wouldn't say I was scared, but Ma Jinhua's behavior is despicable.
"That's good."
Seeing that Ruan Qiushui was indeed alright, Xie Xiuying gave her a few more instructions and then turned to go to the small workshop.
"Ruan Zhiqing, you've finally arrived."
Unsurprisingly, Ruan Qiushui saw He Yongjun again at the entrance of the clinic.
"What's up?"
Ruan Qiushui pretended to be completely unaware and looked at He Yongjun with suspicion.
"The new educated youth, Wei, has fainted again."
This is the third time he's fainted; it almost scared him to death.
"Let's go, we can talk as we walk."
Ruan Qiushui put the basket into the clinic, picked up the medicine box and walked out.
"This morning, Wei Weiwei was sent by the brigade leader to clean the pigsty. On her way back, she suddenly collapsed on the ground and lost consciousness."
Everyone finished work together. He Yongjun was not far from Wei Weiwei at the time. He saw Wei Weiwei's body go limp and she fell down, her forehead bleeding from the impact.
"We've already carried him back to the educated youth center, but he hasn't woken up even after we pinched his philtrum."
He Yongjun also had Liu Pandi imitate Ruan Qiushui by pricking Wei Weiwei's finger with an embroidery needle, but unfortunately, it didn't work either.
"I see."
Wei Weiwei was unlucky; she didn't make it back to her dorm before fainting.
Ruan Qiushui walked into the room and saw that Wei Weiwei had a large gash on her head. Although the bleeding had stopped, it still looked bloody and somewhat creepy.
"Oh."
Serves you right!
That's a way of getting revenge.
Ruan Qiushui opened her medical kit, first disinfecting and bandaging Wei Weiwei's wound, and then taking out silver needles to prick Wei Weiwei's finger.
In less than half a minute, Wei Weiwei opened her eyes.
“Ruan Zhiqing, I also pricked Wei Weiwei’s finger, but it didn’t work.”
Liu Pandi raised a question.
Both were pricking fingers, but she used an embroidery needle while Ruan Qiushui used a silver needle. Could the problem lie there?
"Liu Zhiqing, you probably didn't find the right acupoint."
Ruan Qiushui didn't just use silver needles; there were also specially made items on those silver needles for Wei Weiwei.
"Oh. I see."
Liu Pandi thought about it and realized that Ruan Qiushui was able to cure diseases because she was well-versed in medical principles.
If she could learn how to treat and save lives just by watching it once, then doctors would be everywhere.
"Ruan Qiushui, what exactly did you do to me? What do you want?"
Wei Weiwei felt a sense of fear; Ruan Qiushui was truly terrifying.
Last night, she also tried to ingratiate herself with Zeng Lulu and Liu Pandi, asking them to give her acupuncture after she fainted.
Even after she fainted today, she could clearly feel the pain of Liu Pandi's acupuncture, but no matter how much she wanted to wake up, she couldn't.
It was as if she were having a conscious, lucid nightmare.
That feeling of helplessness was truly terrifying.
"Didn't I tell you? Your illness is low blood sugar. Just take care of your health."
What does she want? Doesn't Wei Wei know?
"Ruan Qiushui, all you wanted was that five hundred yuan and those supplies. I'll give it back to you, okay?"
Wei Weiwei became hysterical; she was scared.
"That's something you owed me in the first place."
"And don't forget today's house call fee, five yuan."
Ruan Qiushui spread her hands, asking for money.
I charged her ten yuan for two house calls yesterday, and only five yuan for disinfection and bandaging today. I even gave her a discount.
"You've gone too far."
Wei Weiwei had no choice but to give in, and pulled out another five yuan from the sole of her shoe.
Ruan Qiushui almost vomited when she saw the five yuan note that smelled like shoe insoles.
"Me, me, me, I'm willing to exchange five yuan for four."
Seeing Ruan Qiushui's expression, Liu Pandi understood everything.
She didn't have nine yuan, but she could still scrape together four yuan.
"good."
Nguyen Thu Thu agreed to the exchange.
"Wei Weiwei, since you promised to return my money and belongings, please do so as soon as possible. Otherwise..."
Ruan Qiushui glanced meaningfully at Wei Weiwei's forehead, then turned and left with a cold laugh.
"Wei Weiwei, now that you're awake, I'm going back to work too. Oh, by the way, my lost wages for this afternoon will be deducted from your work points."
She wasn't just taking care of Wei Weiwei for free for an afternoon.
Liu Pandi put down the five yuan and turned to go back to the small workshop.
"Ruan Qiushui, you'd better not fall into my hands again."
Wei Weiwei clenched her fists, her eyes contorted with rage.
“Wei, Wei, the educated youth.”
He Yongjun wanted to ask about Wei Weiwei's situation, but was so frightened by Wei Weiwei's expression that he retreated repeatedly.
"Coward."
Wei Weiwei glanced at He Yongjun, who was fleeing in disarray, and scoffed.
Ruan Qiushui returned to the clinic and stayed there until the end of her shift, but no patients came in, so she prepared to pack up and go home.
As she walked to the door, she ran into Gu Changfeng, who had come to pick her up.
"How did you get hurt?"
Ruan Qiushui stepped forward and saw that Gu Changfeng had a bruise in the middle of his nose, even though he was fine last night.
"There was a minor accident."
When Gu Changfeng arrived in the county, he happened to witness the Public Security Bureau arresting a group of human traffickers.
One of the bearded men was probably a minor leader of the human traffickers. The others caused a commotion at the police station in an attempt to cover his escape, but Gu Changfeng happened to witness it and caught him red-handed.
He was attacked by more than ten human traffickers, and his nose was accidentally injured.
Are there any other injuries on your body?
Ruan Qiushui looked Gu Changfeng up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no obvious blood.
"No."
He was only a little injured and had some difficulty moving around, otherwise those ten minor characters wouldn't have been able to hurt him at all.
"When we get back, I'll apply some medicated wine to your face to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis."
Apply it once at night, and the bruises will disappear by morning.
"good."
Gu Changfeng leaned on his cane with one hand and held Ruan Qiushui's hand with the other, completely satisfied.
It must be said that Gu Changfeng's balance is truly excellent.
The two chatted and laughed as they walked home. When they arrived at the Gu family home, Xie Xiuying had already prepared dinner.
