This is a true gathering place for the wealthy. The place Xiaoli chose is a commercial street with many brand-name stores. Everyone who comes here is rich.
After observing, Xiaoli discovered that an old lady was unusually wealthy. Every time she came to go shopping, she was accompanied by a different person.
The attitude was clearly very respectful to the old lady, which proved that the old lady held an extraordinary position in the family.
This old lady is exactly the opportunity that Xiaoli needs.
One afternoon, the old lady came again, this time with a little girl. The two were chatting and laughing as they took a walk when suddenly the old lady showed a look of pain.
The young girl helped the old lady to a chair and then went to make a phone call.
Xiao Li had long observed that the old lady had severe glaucoma and was probably in the recovery period of treatment, but unfortunately the effect was not good.
At that time, glaucoma was difficult to treat. Laser treatments and other methods had not yet been adopted. The treatment methods were limited to eye drops and filtration surgery. The old lady's surgery did not seem to be successful.
She seems to have had a relapse, which is causing headaches, eye strain, discomfort, and nausea...
Xiao Li walked over and asked, "Auntie, are you feeling unwell? Do you need my help?"
Mu Yinglan looked up and saw a blurry figure squatting in front of her. She was in great pain and didn't want to speak, so she just waved her hand.
Xiao Li grasped her hand and quickly pressed her Jingming acupoint with her fingers, while also channeling a little spiritual energy to help relieve her eye pressure.
Mu Yinglan felt a cool sensation in her eyes, which instantly made her feel much better, and her vision temporarily recovered a little. This time, she was finally able to see the person in front of her clearly.
Her bright, curved eyes were incredibly endearing; with an oval face, delicate nose, and cherry lips, she was clearly a beauty in her thirties.
"Thank you, young lady, I feel much better now."
Xiao Li withdrew her hand. "Auntie, I'm so glad you're alright. You should go to the hospital to get your glaucoma checked as soon as possible; it's not looking good."
Mu Yinglan's heart skipped a beat. This girl had seen through her illness at a glance, which showed that she was knowledgeable.
"What's your surname, young lady? Are you studying medicine?"
"My name is Chang Xiaoli. I'm not a medical student. I just happened to come across a folk remedy that can cure glaucoma, so I know a little about it."
Mu Yinglan became interested. "Is that so? What kind of folk remedy is it? Does it really work?"
"Auntie, haven't you already experienced it? Your eye pressure has been relieved, but it's only temporary. If you don't get treatment, it will relapse."
Mu Yinglan nodded; she was indeed much better.
"It's working."
She thought about it and decided to give it a try. No matter why the girl was approaching her, as long as she could cure her illness, that was fine. Even if she was a fraud, her family wasn't going to take it lying down.
"Would you be willing to treat me? I'm willing to try your folk remedy. However, if it doesn't work, that's fine, but if my condition worsens, you won't be able to handle my family."
Xiao Li nodded; this old lady was a sensible person.
“I’m willing to treat you, and it will definitely work. As long as you trust me, I will definitely cure you.”
"Are you a con artist? Get out of the way, my dad's coming soon, and you're in for a world of trouble."
After the little girl finished her phone call, she saw someone squatting next to her grandmother. She rushed over and overheard what they were saying.
Mu Yinglan stopped her granddaughter, "Yueyue, don't talk nonsense. This is Grandma's benefactor."
She's lived a whole life, so she's pretty good at judging people.
Gu Yue sized up Xiao Li a few times. Was this person really not a fraud? Even the top hospitals in the country couldn't cure Grandma's eyes. Could this person really cure her?
"If you can cure Grandma's eyes, I'll recognize you as my god-sister."
Xiao Li couldn't help but smile wryly; the generational hierarchy was a bit of a mess.
Mu Yinglan took her granddaughter's hand and comforted her.
Soon, a car stopped beside them, and Xiaoli followed it to the Gu residence. When the Gu family heard that a woman with a folk remedy had arrived and claimed that she could cure the old lady, they all rushed home to see her.
"Are you really sure? I don't want you to joke around with the old lady's health. If you're not sure, leave now and we won't pursue the matter."
Gu Yue's father, Gu Xingyun, is now the head of the Gu family. He is the top official in the government agency and speaks with an imposing manner, but Xiao Li is not afraid of him at all.
“I’m not joking, and I’m not a fraud. I really can cure the old lady.”
What are your conditions?
Xiao left and got straight to the point.
“We just arrived in Youcheng and haven’t found a school for our child yet.”
Gu Xingyun understood. "Is there anything else?"
"It's gone."
This surprised Gu Xingyun a bit. For a family like theirs, school matters were a trivial matter.
But thinking about how they had just arrived in Youcheng, it seemed perfectly reasonable. For ordinary people, this was a big deal.
“Okay, as long as you can cure the old lady, the household registration matter will be simple. I will also give you 100,000 yuan as a thank you gift.”
Xiao Li nodded and went out to arrange the treatment.
Her folk remedy was acupuncture, and the Gu family arranged for a private doctor to follow up with her, which Xiaoli did not refuse.
Her acupuncture techniques are something others can't learn; she infuses them with spiritual energy, and that's the key.
After just one acupuncture session, the old lady felt the difference; her eyes had clearly returned to normal, and the swelling and headache had subsided.
My vision is still a bit blurry, so I can't look at things for too long.
"Xiaoli, your move was quite impressive. I feel much better now."
Xiao Li massaged the acupoints around the old lady's eyes, saying, "Old lady, you still need to take good care of yourself. You can't overuse your eyes. Two more acupuncture sessions should be enough."
"Don't call me old lady, call me Aunt Mu."
Xiao Li readily agreed, "Aunt Mu, then I will respectfully comply."
"Okay, okay, we click. Please come often. I'll be happy to see you."
Xiao Li also thought the old lady was a nice person, "Okay, I will definitely come often."
Gu Xingyun instructed the driver to take Xiaoli home and immediately ordered his men to resolve the household registration issue.
The next day, Xiaoli received a call from a nearby school, informing her to complete the enrollment procedures.
Xiao Li was very satisfied with the Gu family's speed of handling things. Every time she visited the Gu family, she would bring the old lady fruit from her space to help her recover.
"Aunt Chang, where did you buy this fruit? It's delicious."
Gu Yue was a little dissatisfied. She had wanted to recognize Aunt Chang as her godmother, but now she had become Aunt Chang's aunt. However, she liked Aunt Chang very much and called her "Aunt Chang" willingly.
“Yueyue likes to eat it. Just tell me and I’ll bring more next time.”
"We can't let you spend money. This fruit doesn't look cheap. Tell her where to buy it herself."
Mu Yinglan chuckled and teased her granddaughter, saying that the Gu family was wealthy and she couldn't let Xiaoli suffer a loss.
She took out a card and handed it to Xiaoli. "Take this. I've been eating a lot of fruit these days and I feel much better. This is all thanks to you. This is your errand fee."
