After the two left the ward, Shen Yanming asked Bi Qiaoan, "You were clearly unhappy that day, so why did you give Xiao Le so much candy?"
Bi Qiaoan glanced at Shen Yanming and asked with some surprise, "Didn't you say that the child fell down the stairs because his bones were soft due to calcium deficiency?"
Shen Yanming raised an eyebrow, and Bi Qiaoan continued, "If you're deficient in calcium, just give them calcium supplements. But I already said those things the other day, so I can't just give them a can of milk powder for nothing. It would be too strange if we had no relatives or friends with them."
In that case, give the child a bag of milk candy so he can have a sweet treat while also getting a little calcium.
But why did you bring up Hu Xiaoqin?
"It's nothing, I just found that Hu Xiaoqin is a very shrewd woman. You only said a few words, and she saw the business opportunity in them."
If it really works out, it will provide her and Xiaole with some security in the future.
Bi Qiaoan smiled and said, "Yes, I hope everything goes well for her!"
At this time, neither of them expected that Hu Xiaoqin would actually find a way to start a small business soon after.
Not only did she raise her son to be healthy and chubby, but she also accumulated considerable "wealth" in a short period of time.
However, this business deal didn't last long...
During this period, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan had a lot of free time. Apart from finishing their work, they would check with the residents of the several communities in Beiha City in the group chat to see if anything was wrong.
Fortunately, everyone was quite well-behaved, and the only occasional posts in the group were about asking where to buy things.
Only once, a young man felt unwell and insisted that Shen Yanming take him to see the old Chinese medicine doctor who knew how to make frostbite cream.
Shen Yanming did not refuse and took him to find Old Master Lin.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this person entered the door, he started talking to Old Master Lin about cooperation. The main point he made was that he wanted to become a distributor of frostbite cream.
Shen Yanming and Grandpa Lin both felt that the market for frostbite cream was too small and there was no point in negotiating. But Liang Lisen persisted and insisted on getting the goods from Grandpa Lin.
Grandpa Lin sighed, thinking to himself, "What's going on here?" But he still had to smile and say, "Cooperation is out of the question, but if you need frostbite cream, you can buy it directly from here."
As for whether you can sell it later, and for what price, neither the hospital nor I will care.
Liang Lisen thought for a moment, since no one else knew where the source of the goods was, he could just sell them at a higher price.
So he nodded and ordered ten boxes of frostbite cream from Grandpa Lin.
Just as he was about to pay, Old Master Lin stopped him, saying, "Since you're here, let me take your pulse!"
The man frowned. "I'm not sick!"
Old Master Lin had a half-smile on his face. "Whether I'm sick or not isn't up to you to decide, it's up to me."
The man's heart skipped a beat. "Holy crap, am I really sick?"
Then, with a slight tremor, she placed her wrist on the pulse pillow.
"Relax, getting too emotional will affect the diagnosis," Old Master Lin reminded him.
After hearing this, the man took a deep breath, and then another, and it took him a long time to calm down.
Grandpa Lin placed his fingers on the man's wrist, closed his eyes to feel for a moment, and then said to Shen Yanming with a serious expression, "Take him for a CT scan as soon as possible."
"Grandpa, what's wrong with me? Don't scare me!" The man's heart, which had finally calmed down, was in turmoil once again.
"It might be a liver problem. Let's get an X-ray to confirm it!" Old Master Lin didn't say it explicitly, but this vague statement made him even more apprehensive.
He thought that it was probably too serious, which was why he couldn't bear to tell him the result directly.
Is it true that after the CT scan, I'll be sentenced to death?
He was scared, really scared. Why did he have to curse himself with illness? Was it possible that if he wasn't lying, he could be healthy and live to be a hundred years old?
But he didn't realize that if he hadn't foolishly tricked Shen Yanming into seeing Old Master Lin, the illness might have deteriorated to the point of no return before he even noticed.
Shen Yanming accompanied him to re-register, queue, and undergo examinations, and he was finally diagnosed with early-stage liver cancer.
Liang Lisen was on the verge of tears, wondering how he had ended up with such a deadly illness.
Shen Yanming hadn't expected things to develop this way. He sighed, helped with the hospitalization procedures, and then contacted Liang Lisen's family.
Yes, unlike Hu Xiaoqin, Liang Lisen's family is here, so when he is hospitalized, someone can take care of his food, clothing, and lodging.
Shen Yanming was also very fortunate that he was not forced to work as a nanny or caregiver.
After Liang Lisen's family arrived, they first cried and wailed, and then went with Shen Yanming to find the attending physician to inquire when the surgery could be performed.
Shen Yanming didn't need to worry about what happened next.
Before leaving, he comforted Liang Lisen, saying, "Look how lucky you are to have discovered the illness so early. As long as it is removed, there is a possibility of a complete cure. You must believe in yourself; you will definitely recover your health."
After the surgery, I'll bring you your favorite braised pork ribs, okay?
The man mentioned braised pork ribs when he first learned he had an incurable disease, and he cried as he said it. He said he had many unfulfilled wishes, one of which was to enjoy a hearty meal of braised pork ribs.
Perhaps the man was a foodie; his initial sadness was surprisingly lifted by Shen Yanming's words, and he blinked his starry eyes, asking, "Are you serious?"
Shen Yanming nodded, "Really, and I'll let you eat to your heart's content!"
"Alright, alright, I must live well for that meal of spare ribs."
Hearing this promise, Shen Yanming was both amused and exasperated. He nodded and left the ward.
Before leaving, Liang Lisen's mother held Shen Yanming's arm and thanked him repeatedly, saying that he had given her son the motivation to live.
Shen Yanming felt that these words were a bit harsh, but Liang Lisen's mother said, "We saw him when we first arrived. His face was ashen, his eyes were empty and desolate, and he had no vitality at all."
It was you, it was you who rekindled his life force, making him want to live.
Shen Yanming shook his head, "It wasn't me, it was braised pork ribs!"
Mother Liang chuckled, "That's just his personality. Nothing is more important than eating. That's good, though. If he can't keep going in the future, we'll just keep him going with food."
Liang's mother was worried that her son might relapse after the surgery. If that happened, the painful chemotherapy and radiotherapy might cause him to become suicidal again. Then, she would try to coax him with all sorts of delicious food to keep him alive.
Liang's mother looked at Shen Yanming and asked, "Young man, is it true that you invited him to eat ribs? If it's just a polite gesture, then my husband and I will have to start looking for him in advance. I don't want to disappoint my son."
