Chapter 353 Pharmaceutical Successful! (Two chapters combined)
Because of the noise from Li Dazhi's family, most of the villagers came over.
The old woman looked at the two shameless families and said sarcastically, "What, the child has only just been buried, and you can't wait to use them to extort money?"
Li Dazhi's father took out a cigarette and sighed, "Sister-in-law, if the child were still alive, we wouldn't have come. But look, because of your Ayin, both of them have become vegetable-like, lying in bed half-dead for a year! We didn't say anything. After all, she did make a mistake, and it was only right that we took care of her. But now she couldn't hold on any longer and passed away. Our family has no hope left. We just wanted to ask your family for some money so we could hold a proper funeral for the child, so that he wouldn't have to suffer so much in his next life!"
The villagers who had initially thought he was there to cause trouble fell silent upon hearing this.
"Alas, the hearts of parents are always full of love and worry."
"It's from the Gu family, what do you think? Or should we give them some?"
"He's not going to use it for food, drink, or entertainment; he's just using it to perform a religious ceremony. Give it to him!"
Li Dazhi's father's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head even further.
"That's right, you guys aren't short of money anyway! Giving them a little won't hurt you!"
When Grandma Gu heard them say that, she was furious!
Gu Yin comforted the old lady, then looked at Li Dazhi's father and Li Chenggong's mother, and asked with a smile, "How much money do you want?"
Li Dazhi and his family immediately smiled.
Li Dazhi's father tentatively asked, "Do you want... five thousand?"
Li Chenggong's mother nodded in agreement.
Gu Yin did not agree, but instead looked at the Li family members who were full of dissatisfaction: "Do you have anything to say?"
Li Dazhi's mother's face lit up with joy, and she hurriedly said, "Five thousand is not enough! A good ritual will cost at least thirty thousand!"
Li's daughter-in-law nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes! I specifically asked! It really costs over 30,000!"
The people around were in an uproar. They really dared to ask for it!
Seeing the reactions of those around him, Li's son immediately said, "It's only 30,000! The Gu family has 200 million! The 30,000 we asked for is nothing! These are two lives, aren't they? And they died violent deaths. If we don't perform a ritual, don't come looking for us if anything happens in the village!"
Everyone thought it made sense, so they started persuading the Gu family to give it to them, saying it was like taking money to avoid trouble!
"What nonsense are you spouting?! They tried to kidnap my granddaughter! Later, during their internal strife, she was bitten by a snake and became a vegetable. Considering they brought it on themselves, our Gu family didn't pursue the matter further! What! It's our fault that they became a vegetable?! It's our fault that they were bedridden with bedsores?! It's our fault that they died?! How can you be so shameless! Are we their family? Are we responsible for their affairs after death? If you ask me! If you don't have money for a funeral, then don't do it! If they didn't even get proper care before they died, what's the use of a dignified death?! We have no money! Get out of here!" The old lady angrily picked up a broom and began vigorously sweeping the dust off the ground.
Those people were swept away and forced to retreat!
"No normal person would have the nerve to come to my house asking for money. When they were still alive, you didn't say a word. Now that they've been buried for less than half a day, you've come here. And the most you'd do is hold a funeral ceremony, which would cost at most 3,000 yuan. But you're asking for tens of thousands. It makes me suspect that they didn't die a natural death, but were abused to death by you. Otherwise, I find it hard to believe that a person in a vegetative state could develop bedsores and be covered in worms in less than a year! And die in less than a year. Isn't that strange?"
As soon as Gu Yin finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent again.
Actually, everyone had guessed about this, but since even tigers don't eat their cubs, they only thought about it. But when Gu Yin brought it up, everyone felt terrified.
Especially the men who carried Li Dazhi to his grave felt a chill run down their spines when they thought about the worms they saw in the coffin when they closed the lid!
The Li family members began to panic, and Li Dazhi's father's voice trembled as he said, "No, no, that's not how it is! You're talking nonsense! You're making false accusations!"
"As for whether I'm making things up or not, we'll find out when the police come."
Upon hearing that Gu Yin had called the police, the two families became agitated. As they walked away, they angrily shouted, "It's fake! It's all fake! We don't want the money! We don't care!" and then ran off.
After everyone had left, the old lady sighed, "Do you think they really did it?"
Gu Yin shook her head: "They probably wouldn't dare. They just ignore it because they think Li Dazhi is a burden. To keep the villagers quiet, they feed him water and food, but they don't clean his body. They just let him fend for himself. The police can't do much about this. After all, they do take care of him, but they're just not professional or attentive."
Furthermore, the Li family doesn't have much money, so it's really not fair to blame them for not taking good care of the family.
The old lady understood this principle too!
"Then why did you say you'd call the police?"
Gu Yin laughed and said, "It's just to scare them. They're guilty and will definitely panic. The main thing is to prevent them from bothering us."
For the next two days, both families avoided Gu Yin whenever they saw her.
After her complexion became rosy and she gained three pounds, Gu Yin returned to Beijing, while her two elders went to live in the county, mainly because Gu Yin was worried about leaving them at home.
Back at the training camp, the serious and focused atmosphere immediately drew Gu Yin back into the training.
Worried that Gu Yin was studying too hard, the three teachers kept an eye on her from time to time. Even after class in the evening, Teacher Dong went to Gu Yin's dormitory and waited for her to finish washing up and get into bed before leaving.
Helpless, Gu Yin could only turn around and go into the system library to study!
Halfway through the biology training, only 20 students remained in the class.
The more deeply Gu Yin studies, the clearer her vision for the future becomes!
That day, in the system library laboratory, Gu Yin placed a white paste-like substance onto the analytical instrument.
Then wait quietly.
In no time, all the data was available.
001 also flew out: "You actually made it! Impressive! Let me see. Main functions: scar removal, stimulates cell regeneration, suitable for all constitutions, no side effects. Tsk tsk tsk, such a simple sentence, yet the effects are truly enormous. Are you going to hand this over to the authorities or...?"
The inspiration for this came from when I went home last time and heard that Li Dazhi and the others had developed bedsores.
Many elderly patients who are unable to move are suffering greatly if they are bedridden for a long time and have uncaring family members.
After Gu Yin returned, she saw a message from the person who bought her spiritual essence in the mall. The person had found her many pills and pill formulas.
Gu Yin saw the Blood-Activating and Muscle-Regenerating Pill inside, but because the medicinal materials in the pill formula were all from the cultivation world and did not exist in this world at all, Gu Yin had no choice but to slowly figure out a substitute herself.
Although it's not as powerful as the Blood Circulation and Muscle Regeneration Pill, it's very effective for treating burns, cuts, post-operative scars, and so on!
After writing down the experimental data, Gu Yin took off her lab coat, washed her hands, and left the system with the data.
“It’s nothing big, we don’t need to hand it over. Let Grandpa handle it himself.”
After Zhou Wansheng set up a jewelry company in Beijing, he immediately opened a biotechnology company after learning that Gu Yin wanted to study biochemistry, stating frankly that the company was set up for Gu Yin to play with.
The talent pool is comprised of highly paid hires from top universities, and I've heard they've already started researching pharmaceuticals and vaccines.
That company not only has a laboratory but also a factory, so it's perfect to let Zhou Wansheng make this scar removal ointment.
The fifth assessment ended before the Spring Festival, and the number of people in the training camp dwindled.
Gu Yin won first place in the previous four times, and this time was no exception; she was exceptionally consistent!
"In the past ten years or so, the person I admire most is you! You're already so outstanding! How come you still work so hard! How come you don't have the slightest thought of getting arrogant?" Xiang Yueya said admiringly as she looked at the ranking on the report card.
Why? Because her soul is that of a mature adult who has weathered many storms, because she knows that everything she has achieved now was hard-won, and because she knows that one can only ever rely on oneself!
She never places any hope in others, not even family members. No one can be responsible for another person's life. So, if you don't work hard, besides people, life and dreams will abandon you!
Gu Yin smiled and patted them on the shoulders: "The last assessment will be after the New Year! It's also the most important assessment! Good luck!"
The training camp only started on New Year's Eve, and the holiday was short, only three days. They had to come back on the evening of the second day of the Lunar New Year, and classes would start on the third day. Time was tight, and many students from other provinces did not go back.
Because of Gu Yin, the entire Gu family came to Beijing this time and will spend the Spring Festival here. Even Gu Le and Zhou Wansheng came from Hong Kong.
As soon as Gu Yin entered the courtyard, Gu Le saw her and rushed over, hugging her tightly.
Looking at Gu Yin with slight excitement, he said, "Sister! I missed you so much!"
Kids really do grow up so fast. The last time we met, Gu Le was only up to Gu Yin's belly, but now she's up to her chest. In another year or two, she'll probably be about the same height as Gu Yin.
Gu Yin patted his head and smiled, "Don't you send text messages every day?"
Gu Le shook his head: "If we haven't met, it doesn't count!"
Gu Yin led him into the house, and seeing Zhou Wansheng and Wang Yanzhi there, she greeted them with a smile.
“I saw the information about the international chemistry competition. It will be held in Gangcheng in April. You can stay there for a few more days after the competition! Ah Le misses you so much! He didn’t say anything during the day, but he kept calling for his older sister when he fell asleep at night!” Zhou Wansheng joked with a smile.
Gu Le blushed and said shyly, "I'm still with the child. It's normal to miss my older sister after not seeing her for so long. As the saying goes, what you think about during the day, you dream about at night!"
Li Mengxin: "Then why do you only think about your older sister? Don't you think about your mother?"
Grandma Gu: "I don't miss Grandma either!"
Grandpa Gu: "Hmm!"
Gu Le hurriedly said, "No, no! I really want to! I even brought you all gifts when I came back from abroad this time!"
Seeing his anxiety, everyone smiled kindly.
The New Year's Eve dinner was cooked by my family. Although it wasn't as lavish or elaborate as what you'd get at a hotel, it was very heartwarming.
Zhou Wansheng and Wang Yanzhi's eyes remained red throughout the meal!
There was a fireworks show in Beijing. After finishing our New Year's Eve dinner, everyone went out to watch it for more than an hour, and then came back to stay up late to welcome the new year.
"Big cities are so different! The fireworks are all kinds of things! And they're so big and beautiful! In our village, we always had those little firecrackers, the size of a palm or the length of a palm. They'd light up and make a crackling sound for a few seconds, and then they were gone! In the last two years, we've had fireworks too, but they're completely different from those in Beijing! In our village, they'd just go 'bang' into the sky, and then 'pop,' and that's it! And only families with good financial means could afford them!"
As the old lady spoke, Gu Yin also thought of the New Year celebrations when she was a child. The sound of firecrackers meant that the family was about to have dinner, and usually no one would come to visit at this time.
The festival is the one where you eat the best food, dress the best, and have the most people gathered together. No one, regardless of age or gender, doesn't look forward to it.
Everyone ate the New Year's dishes cooked by the old lady, watching TV and chatting.
Gu Yin called Zhou Wansheng to the study.
Zhou Wansheng closed the study door and chuckled, "So meticulous, what's wrong?"
Gu Yin handed him the ointment she had made: "This is a little thing I made when I was bored. It's for removing scars. I don't have much vacation time and I can't treat it myself. Grandpa, do you think it's okay to have the factory make this?"
Zhou Wansheng took the ointment, which was only about the size of a thumb, and asked in surprise, "You made this? By yourself?"
Gu Yin nodded.
Zhou Wansheng nodded: "Sure, the factory has all the necessary equipment, no problem at all!"
Gu Yin nodded and handed him the documents and data: "Please also help me apply for a patent."
Zhou Wansheng vaguely felt that something was wrong. The patent application was already underway, which seemed to indicate that it wasn't something as simple as a small item.
He took the data and started looking through it. Although he didn't understand the technical terms, he could still understand some of the conclusions.
"Suitable for all scars, including hypertrophic scars. It can be applied to 100% of the skin area in one treatment, with a 100% removal rate and no side effects!" The old man couldn't quite grasp the concept.
"Is this ointment really that effective?!" It wasn't that he didn't believe Gu Yin! It was just that there wasn't a single scar removal medication on the market that dared to claim it could completely remove scars without any side effects!
Gu Yin nodded calmly: "Yes, if Grandpa doesn't believe me, he can do an experiment when we get back."
Zhou Wansheng was in a daze: "Okay, okay, then I'll go back and take another look. Oh right, I've sold all of your jadeite from before. The money is in this card, keep it safe."
Gu Yin took it and saw that Zhou Wansheng was examining the ointment in his hand. She smiled helplessly and said, "Don't worry about it too much. It's just an ointment. When Grandpa goes out, please call my older brother and sister over for me."
Zhou Wansheng nodded, went out to call Gu Shu and Gu Hua, and then returned to his room. Looking at the small ointment on his phone and then at the data, he thought for a moment, then took off his clothes, revealing a hideous scar on his shoulder.
"What are you doing in this freezing weather? What did A-Yin ask you to do? Why do you look so absent-minded when you come back?" Wang Yanzhi entered the house and saw her husband shirtless.
"You're here just in time. Help me apply this ointment to the scar." Zhou Wansheng handed her the ointment.
"Oh, I don't mind you. You're so old and still so vain. These scar removal ointments are useless. I heard that surgery can remove them in the next country. If you really don't want to see this scar, I'll go with you to get it removed!" Saying that, she took the ointment, picked up a cotton swab, and started applying the medicine to him.
Zhou Wansheng didn't say anything. He was feeling it. As soon as the medicine touched his skin, his skin immediately became ice-cold. It would be fine in the summer, but in the winter, it was a bit cold!
After applying the ointment and letting it dry, Zhou Wansheng put on his clothes and went outside to chat with his wife. They would find out the result first thing tomorrow morning, so there was no rush.
