Seeing Liu Ruonan this time brought back all the memories of his youth.
Liu Kaixu later had a son. When his son was fifteen years old, he happened to encounter the Vietnam War. In that chaotic era, his son was lost and has never been found since then.
Even though Liu Kaixu later had a son and a daughter, he never forgot his previous son.
The old man shook his head helplessly. He wondered if this Liu Ruonan really had any connection with Liu Kaixu's family. However, he couldn't make a rash decision before he was sure. If the result was negative, it would only make Liu Kaixu even more sad.
The shopkeeper was well aware of these matters, and after the old boss's reminder, he understood.
When Liu Ruonan returned home, it was already afternoon. There were still many people gathered at home, all of whom had come to see Liu Ruonan for acupuncture.
But Liu Ruonan didn't see anyone the whole day, so everyone just sat in the yard of Chen Jianmin's house and chatted and waited.
The wheat harvest had long since passed, and the corn had been planted. There was little work to do in the fields now, so they usually just sat together and chatted. It didn't matter where they were, so they might as well sit here and wait for Liu Ruonan.
When Liu Ruonan came back, her cloth bag was full of medicine.
Liu Ruonan was in a very good mood today, seeing that there was finally hope for Zhuang Sheng's illness.
"Oh! Everyone is here!" Liu Ruonan's face was full of joy and she smiled brightly.
"Ah! Look, Ruonan is back."
When everyone saw Liu Ruonan coming back, they all walked towards her and pulled her inside.
"Ruonan, we've been waiting for you all day."
"Yes! Ever since I started your acupuncture, I've felt much better. If I don't have acupuncture for a day, I'll feel uncomfortable."
Everyone gathered around Liu Ruonan, chatting with each other. Liu Ruonan smiled and said to everyone, "Give me a break. I'll park my bike and go inside to have a drink of water."
After hearing what Liu Ruonan said, everyone let go of her. It was the hottest season now, and Liu Ruonan was already sweating profusely.
Liu Ruonan parked her bike and went into the house. Zhuang Sheng was sitting on the bed reading a book. When he saw Liu Ruonan come in, she was sweating and looked a little embarrassed. He couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
"Are you tired?"
"Not tired!" Liu Ruonan didn't even have time to drink water. She walked straight to Zhuang Sheng, poured all the medicine in the bag onto the bed, and said with joy, "Brother Zhuang Sheng, you are saved!"
"Why did you buy so much? Didn't you say that the medicine is very expensive? Do you have enough money?" Zhuang Sheng looked at the medicines lying on the bed. Although it was a question, he didn't show much doubt.
Liu Ruonan sat down on the edge of the bed and introduced enthusiastically.
"You know what? Brother Zhuang Sheng, I met a distinguished person today!"
"Your Excellency?" Zhuang Sheng put down the book in his hand and looked at Liu Ruonan seriously.
"Yes! And he's a big boss of some jewelry company in Hong Kong. His son has the same disease as you, and he said that as long as I can cure his son, he will pay for all the medical expenses!"
"Really? That's great!" Zhuang Sheng nodded, smiled, and wiped the sweat off Liu Ruonan's face.
His hands were covered in calluses, likely from his time in the army. But his hand was warm, and the moment it touched Liu Ruonan's cheek, she felt like she'd been electrocuted, a surge of warmth surging through her heart. She shyly turned her face away.
"If you get better, we have to thank the big boss!"
"This is what you deserve. You just earned it by using your medical skills." Zhuang Sheng didn't seem to have any big reaction to Liu Ruonan meeting this noble man.
Is that the case? Liu Ruonan thought about it carefully, and it made sense. If she couldn't save Fu Yunbin's son, why would anyone pay for her medicine?
Thinking this way, Liu Ruonan felt much more at ease. The moment she looked up, she found that many people were gathered around the window, and some people in front of her even stuck their heads in the window.
Liu Ruonan smiled helplessly: "What are you doing?"
"Nannan, do you have any new medicine? Do you want to give it to us?" someone asked curiously.
"The disease requires the right medicine. What's more, this medicine is not something that ordinary people can afford," said Liu Ruonan.
But because of this sentence, everyone thought that Liu Ruonan looked down on them and that they were reluctant to spend money, so there was a hint of jealousy in her tone.
"Nannan, you can't say that. If your Zhuang Sheng can afford it, why can't we?"
Who doesn't know the situation of Zhuang Sheng's family? Zhuang Sheng's money was all taken away by his unscrupulous father. There is no way Chen Jianmin's family would have much money to help them.
Liu Ruonan felt a certain irony in what she heard. She poured herself a glass of water and gulped it down. Then she strode out the door. She didn't want these people to disturb Zhuang Sheng.
"Aunt, do you know how much this batch of medicine I created costs?"
Everyone looked at Liu Ruonan with curiosity, some shook their heads, some waved their hands.
Liu Ruonan held up two fingers.
"Twenty?" someone guessed.
Liu Ruonan shook her head.
"Two hundred?" Continue to guess.
Liu Ruonan smiled: "Keep guessing."
"It can't be two thousand!"
"Oh! It's true!" Liu Ruonan responded.
Everyone sighed! Two thousand! What kind of concept is that? The pair of medicines on the bed looked like a lot, but when they were put into Liu Ruonan's bag, it was only this small bag.
Such a small thing is worth two thousand yuan? It's incredible.
How could Liu Ruonan afford such a good medicine?
"Ruonan, it seems that you have made a lot of money from us these days!" Someone began to sound jealous, and this sentence caused others to start talking.
"Aunt, if I say that our Zhuang Sheng is lucky and has met a noble person who is willing to pay for our medical expenses, would you believe it?" Liu Ruonan asked instead of answering, not caring at all about other people's suspicious looks at her. She smiled and continued:
"You can go to the city and see how much does acupuncture and moxibustion cost? How much does a plaster cost? Besides, they may not be more effective than mine. Besides, I treat patients and you seek medical treatment. This is called business. I'm not forcing you, am I?"
That being said, I still felt a little unbalanced when I heard Zhuang Sheng use such a good medicine. It seems that Liu Ruonan is really capable.
But even so, everyone was still a little confused, wondering whether they had been deceived by Liu Ruonan.
Liu Ruonan was not in a hurry to explain. Since everyone had doubts about her, she would not force it. Once everyone understood the truth, they would naturally understand how much benefit she had brought to everyone.
Business can never be forced. Once they understand, they will naturally understand how good she is.
