Chapter 441 Fake Medicine
"I'll stay here. I can help with other things." Ye Xumei was not willing to retreat at all. She was not even injured.
"There is a slight difference in physical strength between female comrades and male comrades. Don't try to be too strong to avoid unexpected disasters." Huo Jinzhi reminded seriously.
Cheng Zhuoyue came over breathlessly holding a child in his arms. After all the shock, the little guy was crying loudly, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
"Sister, hug you, don't cry." Ye Xumei quickly reached out and held the person in her arms, gently patting his back. She was quite good at coaxing children.
With her comfort, the little guy finally stopped crying and fell asleep in Ye Xumei's arms.
"The lower areas are still severely flooded. If the rain keeps falling, the higher areas may not be safe either. I think our top priority is to find a way... to make sure no one is in the water."
After seeing the child fall asleep, Cheng Zhuoyue lowered his voice and took the initiative to report to Huo Jinzhi, with a hint of seriousness in his eyes.
"Please save my old man!" Old Mrs. Wang walked over in two steps, but she didn't stand firmly and fell to her knees on the ground.
Probably because she had just come down the mountain with the same group of people, as old lady Wang was old, her pace was naturally not as good as those young people. She walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, her body was covered in mud, and she looked extremely pitiful.
"Two days ago, my old man said he was going fishing, but he hasn't come back yet. It's raining so hard, I'm afraid he really won't be able to come back."
At this point, Old Lady Wang couldn't help but burst into tears, her expression extremely sad, and Huo Jinzhi's face darkened slightly.
The weather has been bad recently, so they have already reminded the fishermen here not to go into the water rashly!
"It's because I'm not feeling well and need to take medicine, and he wanted to buy medicine for me, so he took the risk to go fishing." Old Mrs. Wang looked at Huo Jinzhi's cold expression and couldn't help but weakly tell her husband's deeds. She coughed heavily several times.
The couple has lived together until now, without any children around them. Most of the children they raised have gone out. Although they would send them some money, for some reason they have not heard from them recently.
The old couple did have some savings, but Mrs. Wang's illness itself was a huge expense.
In order to find opportunities to supplement his family income, Mr. Wang goes overseas more frequently than those young people!
"We will never give up on anyone. If you don't mind, please go to a safe place as soon as possible. We will leave this here and we will look for it later."
Cheng Zhuoyue knew that Huo Jinzhi didn't like dealing with these things, so he quickly spoke up and calmed down Old Lady Wang before having her sent back.
Ye Xumei simply held the child and protected Old Lady Wang, and went up the mountain with them.
Old Mrs. Wang cried all the way, and the little one was disturbed by the crying. He woke up and started crying too.
"If tears alone can save people, then we should all sit here and cry together." Ye Xumei frowned, speaking in a tone that sounded like a scolding.
The cold words made Old Lady Wang's tears stop a little, but she still sobbed softly: "A worthless old thing like me, it's better for me to die and not cause trouble to others."
"Let's go up the mountain first. Now is not the time to complain." Ye Xumei didn't continue speaking after she said that. He just motioned her to shut up and gently patted the child with his fingers.
They went up the mountain in such a noisy manner, which was an extremely different scene. Some people who had slept for a while had already woken up, and when they heard the noise, they frequently turned their heads to look over.
"Yiyi, please come and help her. What disease is Old Madam Wang suffering from? She has been taking all kinds of medicine for so many years and it hasn't healed."
When Ye Xumei saw Chen Zhuyi, he spoke loudly as if he had seen his savior.
Along the way, Old Lady Wang kept talking about how she had been taking medicine for many years and had become a burden to the family. Ye Xumei really couldn't stand it anymore.
She also brought the little guy to Chen Zhuyi.
"Let's check on the child first. He's alive and well and shouldn't be affected at all." Chen Zhuyi put his hand on the child's wrist first. Apart from being a little frightened, the child was not injured at all.
"Where did you dig this little guy out? It's a blessing in disguise."
After feeling the little guy's beating pulse, Chen Zhuyi couldn't help but smile and sighed.
As she spoke, her hand was already on Mrs. Wang's body, and she couldn't help but frown, as if she had encountered some extremely difficult problem.
This behavior also made Mrs. Wang's heart suddenly tighten. Her voice was a little trembling: "Is my illness... completely hopeless?"
"You're not sick?" Chen Zhuyi blinked again and looked at Doctor Zheng, who had finally finished seeing the patient. "Did you diagnose her with a disease?"
"I'm not an old lady. You haven't come to see me for so many years. What's wrong with you?" Doctor Zheng was a little confused by the question.
But he still adhered to the benevolent heart of a doctor, took the initiative to go over, put his hand on Mrs. Wang's pulse, felt it carefully, and looked a little confused.
"You're not sick, old lady. Did you get it wrong? Or did you meet a quack who cheated you out of your money?"
Old Mrs. Wang was so scared that she was speechless. Two people who had examined her said that she was not sick. However, she had also received a certificate from the hospital saying that she was terminally ill, and it was cancer!
"Are you two quacks?" Old Mrs. Wang first suspected Chen Zhuyi and Doctor Zheng. After she said this, she realized something was wrong and rubbed her nose awkwardly.
"I went to the shore specifically to see a famous doctor. I heard they are also very famous internationally!"
Having said that, if you still don’t understand anything, then all the anti-fraud education that Chen Zhuyi received would be completely wasted.
Some bastards just like to cheat these old people!
"When did you go to see the famous doctor? Did he tell you what he specialized in?" Chen Zhuyi's two questions were met with an increasingly confused expression on Mrs. Wang's face.
She shook her head in confusion, thought for a while, and took out the pills she had with her and carefully poured out a pill from the plastic bottle.
"This is the medicine the miracle doctor prescribed for me. As soon as I take it, I feel relaxed and comfortable all over, and all the pain is gone!"
"Could it be... this medicine is also fake?"
