He took a basin from under the sink in the yard, threw in the clothes he had taken out, ran to the boiler to get some hot water, and then returned to the sink to start washing clothes.
"Mom, why are you crying?"
Wenhui, who had just returned from the front yard, saw her mother washing clothes there with red eyes and hurriedly asked her what was wrong.
"Huh? No, I didn't cry."
"Your eyes are all red, and you still say you didn't cry. Did my dad bully you?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Your dad is sleeping on the sofa. He didn't bully me at all."
Li Wenhui hesitated for a moment, feeling that her mother's condition was caused by crying.
But her mother insisted that she hadn't cried, and there was nothing she could do about it.
Besides, when she said whether her father bullied her, she was just saying it casually. As long as her mother doesn't bully her father, that's good enough.
Seeing her daughter standing beside her looking at her suspiciously, Ding Qiunan helplessly put down the clothes in her hands, took her hand out of the basin, and flicked the laundry detergent suds on her hand at her daughter.
"Oh my god, what are you doing?"
"Why aren't you doing your own thing? What are you staring at me for?"
"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go, just stop playing!"
Watching Wenhui flee in panic, Ding Qiunan smiled with relief. It was so good that her daughter cared about her!
She didn't intend for the children to know about the letter.
My man is back in full force, so there's no point in bringing up that letter now.
...
At the same time, in the drug research laboratory of a pharmaceutical factory in southern China.
"Old Cai, is it still not working?"
At the entrance of the research lab, a middle-aged man looked at the gray-haired old man who had just come out of the lab and asked him a question.
The old man, known as Elder Cai, shook his head: "No, this experiment used ten white mice, and in just one day, four have already died, and the remaining three look like they won't make it either."
"Mr. Cai, can you analyze where exactly the problem lies?"
The old man walked into the office next door, took off his white coat and hung it on the wall. After sitting down in a chair, he leaned back for a while, looking dejected, before saying, "I really can't figure out what's wrong. Director Liu, are you sure there's nothing wrong with the prescription you brought?"
The middle-aged man nodded: "Old Cai, this prescription is definitely correct. It has been verified by several doctors."
"That's strange. None of the ingredients in this prescription are poisonous or incompatible. How could it kill someone?"
At this point, the old man looked at the middle-aged man sitting opposite him and asked, "Director Liu, may I ask a question that goes unrelated to this topic? Who exactly wrote this prescription?"
"Uh... Mr. Cai, this..." Director Liu smiled awkwardly.
The old man didn't care and waved his hand dismissively: "Never mind, never mind, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't."
After a pause, the old man continued, "If you're unwilling to tell me who prescribed the medicine, I won't ask anymore. But you must tell me if anyone is still taking this medicine now?"
"I can tell you with certainty that yes, people are eating it, and more than one person is doing so, and all of these people are quite healthy!"
"Could I meet the person who takes this medicine?"
To be honest, Director Liu had considered bringing in the people who took this drug for research, but if he didn't want to die, he'd better behave himself.
Let alone a mere director like him, even the factory director, or anyone higher up, wouldn't dare to act recklessly; more than one or two have already been imprisoned.
And that's what they've achieved, without even putting in any effort.
Or rather, if those people hadn't gone too far, the person who wrote the prescription could have simply taken it if they wanted.
They didn't take this seriously at all!
Even so, after all this time of research, they still haven't figured out why eating it would kill people.
What kind of mess is this?!
“Old Cai, it’s not that I don’t want you to see him, but I simply don’t have the ability to get him here for you.”
"Then I can go see him, right?"
"You really can't see him."
"What, the person who took the medicine isn't on Earth?" the old man asked, somewhat surprised.
"Old Cai, the person is on Earth, that's true, but the person taking the medicine is sitting in the central nervous system. Do you think you can see them?"
Hearing this, the old man's eyes widened. How did a prescription get so far off? What exactly are you trying to do?
"No, Director Liu, what exactly is this prescription? How did it have such a big impact? You must explain it to me clearly, otherwise you'll have to find someone else to do the subsequent experiments."
"This..." Director Liu felt a toothache and thought for a long time before finally speaking.
"Mr. Cai, let me put it this way, this medicine is for... conditioning the body." At this point, Director Liu made a gesture, and seeing the old man nod to indicate that he understood, he continued.
"After taking this medicine, it will first regulate the body, and secondly enhance the body's constitution."
"What? What did you say?"
The old man's eyes welled up with tears; he wondered if he was hallucinating.
“Old Cai, you heard me right, and I didn’t say anything wrong. It’s true. Some of the people who are taking the medicine have been taking it for twenty years, and they have never gotten sick all these years. They don’t even have a cough, let alone headaches or fevers.”
"This...this is too exaggerated, isn't it?" The old man was a little unable to accept it.
"The most outrageous part comes later." Director Liu said helplessly. Since he had already said it, he might as well finish it. Anyway, it wasn't really a secret.
"Old Cai, the prescription you are researching now is only the first step. There is a second prescription later. It is said that you should take the medicine prescribed by the first prescription for a considerable period of time before you can take the medicine prescribed by the second prescription. Only in this way will it be effective."
"There's a second prescription?" The old man felt that in all his seventy years of life, he had probably never been as surprised as he had been today.
"That's right, there's another one, but we haven't figured out the first one yet, so I didn't take out the second one."
At this moment, the old man asked hesitantly, "Director Liu, is the person who wrote this prescription a doctor from the health care team?"
"Well……"
Seeing Director Liu's expression, the old man knew he had guessed correctly. Without waiting for Director Liu's answer, he continued to ask, "This person wouldn't happen to be the vice president of the main hospital, would he?"
This time it was Director Liu's turn to be surprised. How could anyone have guessed that?
The old man threw the pen he had been holding onto the table and said, "Is that so, Director Liu? You'll have to find someone else. I'm not going to serve you anymore. I'll have someone deliver your share of the payment to you tomorrow."
