Xia Anyan coughed lightly and explained, "I bought this from a famous itinerant doctor in my hometown."
"Doctor, as you know, things aren't going well right now. I went to great lengths to finally get my hands on this prescription that's supposed to help my grandfather. But I really couldn't get my hands on these medicines myself, and more importantly, I was a bit skeptical. That's why we came here hoping you could give us your opinion."
Xia Anyan lowered her voice deliberately, as if she didn't want anyone to hear her.
But actually, everyone in this room has good hearing.
So everyone can hear it.
"Let me see." The doctor understood Xia Anyan's meaning, nodded, and then carefully examined the medicine.
Sometimes, you also need to open a small booklet next to you and look at its contents.
After an unknown amount of time, the doctor finally handed the prescription back to Xia Anyan: "Comrade, I have just checked. Our hospital can obtain some of the herbs, but there are many...precious herbs that we may not be able to get right now."
"If you're not in a hurry, you can leave the names of the herbs you need, and we'll help you find them. We'll contact you as soon as we find them."
Xia Anyan looked thoughtful for a moment, then nodded: "Thank you, doctor."
After saying that, the group prepared to leave.
But before I even reached the door, I was startled by a loud voice.
"Impossible. You're just a nurse, not a doctor. How could you possibly treat patients? My husband is sick; it's not like he's drunk too much."
“I take such good care of my man at home. You all say he shouldn’t touch alcohol, so I haven’t bought him any in a long time. How could he possibly have any? Besides, he… he doesn’t even smell of alcohol on him.”
As he finished speaking, his voice gradually faded away.
The person speaking was none other than Tie Sanfeng.
The doctor, who had been sitting in his chair, couldn't stay seated any longer after hearing the commotion.
He sighed deeply, his face dark and sullen, and walked towards the door.
"I'm really sorry, this patient has come here a few times before, and he always registered with me. This time he's definitely here to cause trouble again. I have to go out and check on him."
They went out together.
As soon as I stepped outside, I bumped into Tie Sanfeng and a man she was holding in her arms.
The man wasn't very good-looking; he had a stubble beard, his eyes were tightly closed, his face was flushed, and he was snoring.
Even without coming into the yard, one could guess that the person was asleep.
Moreover, the nurse has already checked on him, and it turns out that he simply drank too much alcohol, which is why he fell into such a deep sleep.
Why did Tie Sanfeng have to vehemently deny it and even bring the person to the hospital?
Judging from their clothes, they didn't seem to be rich people, but why was Tie Sanfeng willing to bring this man to the courtyard time and time again?
"Comrade Tie, I have already made it very clear to you before that your wife's condition cannot be completely cured; she can only take medication year-round."
"Moreover, his illness does not actually affect his health. As long as he takes his medication on time, it will not relapse frequently. He can do what he is supposed to do and eat what he is supposed to eat. Apart from not being able to drink alcohol on weekdays, he is no different from a normal person."
Tie Sanfeng still wanted to say a few more stubborn words.
But seeing the doctor's serious expression, she couldn't hold back and burst into tears.
She sobbed and wiped away her tears: "I didn't want to either, but my husband said that he can't do heavy work in his current condition, so all the burdens of the family are on my shoulders."
“I got off work late last night and when I came back I found him completely drunk, lying on the bed unconscious. I couldn’t wake him up no matter how I called him.”
“If this were before, he would have gotten annoyed with me and hit me with the sole of his shoe, but this time there has been no movement until now. I’m really worried that something has happened to him.”
"Having a man in the house makes me feel like I have someone to rely on. I can't really abandon the father of my child, can I? Wouldn't I be all alone then? Wouldn't everyone take advantage of me, this widow?"
Tie Sanfeng wiped away her tears and finally admitted it.
The man had indeed been drinking, but in order to cover it up, she poured a lot of hangover soup into his mouth and washed him thoroughly from the inside out.
In addition, so much time has passed since last night, the smell of alcohol has long since dissipated.
That's why no one realized he was drunk.
"Alright, coming here won't reveal anything. I've already said before that his body isn't suited for drinking alcohol, and the medications he's taking can't be mixed with alcohol. Since you won't listen, I can't do anything about it. I'll just have to send him to another department to determine the situation."
The doctor didn't want to take on any more trouble for himself. Since the person hadn't taken the medicine as prescribed, he had no choice but to find someone else.
Tie Sanfeng was surprised that the doctor would refuse her so directly. She was initially incredulous, but then she couldn't hold back and let out a sharp crack.
No, that won't do.
"Doctor, please take a look at my husband. I really can't let anything happen to him."
"I promise you, I'll keep a close eye on him when I get back this time and won't let him drink again. Please keep an eye on him one last time, okay?"
As she spoke, she reached into her pocket and pulled out a small handkerchief.
The small handkerchief was folded in many layers, and as it was unfolded, it revealed many small bills inside.
She didn't even look at them, and handed them all to the doctor.
"Doctor, this is all I have. I hope you can accept it to treat my husband's illness."
When the doctor refused to admit her, she tried to kneel on the ground.
What era are we living in? Why are people still kneeling like that?
If she really kneels down, this doctor will probably be taken away for investigation tomorrow.
"Comrade Tie, are you trying to kill me?" The doctor's face was dark and extremely ugly.
"I've already made it very clear to you, I can't treat your man's condition, you need to find someone who has the ability and skill."
“You think I’m rejecting you, but I’m a doctor. It’s my duty to treat and save lives. If I can treat this person, I certainly won’t turn him away.”
The doctor has made himself perfectly clear; if Tie Sanfeng still doesn't understand, there's nothing he can do.
In the end, Tie Sanfeng still left with her man.
Watching their receding figures, Xia Anyan and the others remained expressionless.
Whether this woman lives a good or bad life is her own choice.
If she doesn't want to be with a man like that, she can choose to leave.
Even though this man has been abusing her, she's still devoted to him. That just means she's being pathetic.
Even if something really happens in the future, it will be her own problem.
