Lin Jin smiled and said that he would come again tomorrow to help Liu Yilan's son with his treatment. Upon hearing this, Liu Yilan said emotionally, "Thank you, Dr. Lin!" Her voice was full of gratitude and anticipation.
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Yilan quickly pulled out two ten-yuan bills from her pocket and stuffed them into Lin Jin's hand without hesitation. However, Lin Jin resolutely returned the money, saying hurriedly, "Aunt Liu, don't rush to give me the money. You can pay me after I've completely cured your son's illness!"
Seeing this, Liu Yilan hurriedly explained, "Dr. Lin, regardless of whether you can cure my son or not, this money should be given to you! You've worked so hard to treat my son, how can I, as his mother, let you work for nothing?"
Hearing Liu Yilan's words, Lin Jin's respect for her grew even stronger. He secretly resolved to do everything in his power to cure Liu Yilan's son and live up to her trust and expectations.
Furthermore, Lin Jin noticed that Liu Yilan kept the room impeccably tidy. Although the room wasn't large, it was exceptionally clean and tidy. Her son also didn't have any unpleasant odor, presumably because he changed his clothes and bathed frequently. These details revealed Liu Yilan to be a hardworking, meticulous, and deeply caring mother.
Lin Jin ultimately refused to accept the money, saying he would pay it all at once later!
On the way home, Li Yanjun sighed and said: She was also a woman with a hard life. Her husband died early, and she raised her two children on her own. Her son was also very promising. At a young age, he became a deputy battalion commander in the army.
My daughter is also very sensible. If her brother hadn't been injured, she would definitely have been able to go to university this year. Now she's not in school anymore and has started working in a factory at a young age. Although it's a stable job, it's quite hard work. She works the night shift and sometimes has to take care of her brother during the day.
Lin Jin asked, "Why didn't I see Aunt Liu's daughter today?"
"I heard that some hotels around here needed hourly workers to wash blankets, so I went to help wash blankets at the hotels. She and her son haven't been idle these past few days since the factory closed. It's all those damned scammers' fault, otherwise, their lives wouldn't be so bad. When Xiao Tao was injured, he received a lot of money from the army, and those scammers swindled it all out of him!" Lin Jin listened to Li Yanjun's words, her face full of doubt, and couldn't help but interject, "Scammers?"
Li Yanjun's emotions grew increasingly agitated. She said angrily, "That's right! Your Aunt Liu was so worried seeing the child constantly unconscious! She sought medical help everywhere, consulting many doctors to treat him, spending a lot of money, but nothing worked. Then, an old man came along, claiming to be a descendant of a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and guaranteed he could cure Xiao Tao's illness. Your Aunt Liu believed him and gave him over 1000 yuan. But the old man took the money and disappeared without a trace; we still haven't found him!"
Lin Jin frowned slightly and continued to press, "Didn't you report it to the police?"
Li Yanjun sighed helplessly and replied, "I did report it, but what's the use? They didn't use their real name at all, how are we supposed to find them!"
The time for them to part soon came. Li Yanjun wanted Lin Jin to stay at her place, but Lin Jin only said she had to go home to get medicine. Li Yanjun had no choice but to give up and said she would accompany her again tomorrow. Lin Jin waved her hand and said, "Godmother, you go ahead with your work. I probably can't go to wish Grandpa a Happy New Year tomorrow. Please tell him for me that I'll visit him in a few days. Tell him not to be angry!"
Li Yanjun smiled and said, "You go about your business. Treating the sick and saving lives is a good thing. Your grandfather certainly won't blame you; he'll be proud of you!"
