"We came here today specifically to thank you! Thank you so much. If it weren't for your help, my brother's life would have been in grave danger," Wen Liang said earnestly, his voice filled with gratitude.
Zhu Liping, who was standing nearby, was also moved to tears: "Yes, sister! If it weren't for your timely rescue, my husband would probably be gone by now."
"The doctor said that it was thanks to you that the bleeding was stopped first, otherwise the person might not have survived due to excessive blood loss when they were taken to the hospital. Our family will never forget this kindness!" As she spoke, she made a gesture to kneel down to express her gratitude.
Seeing this, Shen Xiaoxiao quickly reached out to help Zhu Liping up, preventing her from kneeling down: "Oh dear, please don't do this. Saving people is my duty."
"However, last time your husband came to me after getting injured, the gauze, iodine, and other materials I used to stop the bleeding and bandage him cost a total of 2.6 yuan. Adding my labor cost, you can just give me a round number of 10 yuan."
Shen Xiaoxiao settled the prices in a businesslike manner.
Zhu Liping shook her head repeatedly and hurriedly took out a large wad of money from her pocket and handed it to Shen Xiaoxiao: "How can we only accept this little bit! This amount of money is not enough to express our gratitude to you."
“We do have some savings at home, so please accept this 100 yuan! And all this meat was bought to thank you,” Zhu Liping quickly said.
“No need, 10 yuan is enough. And you should take this meat back with you! Once a patient is brought to me, they are my patient.”
“Now that I’ve taken over the treatment, I will naturally charge according to the normal fee schedule. That’s what I’ll charge,” Shen Xiaoxiao said earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Wen Baoguo quickly waved his hand and replied sincerely and urgently, "Oh dear, young lady, you must accept this meat! If it weren't for you, my son might not be here now. You must accept these gifts."
Seeing this, Shen Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then smiled and readily replied, "Grandpa, since you are so straightforward, I won't be coy anymore."
"You only need to give me 10 yuan; as for the meat, I won't be polite." After saying that, she winked playfully.
Upon seeing this, Wen Baoguo's face immediately lit up with a gratified smile, and he nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a crumpled ten-yuan note from his pocket and carefully handed it to Shen Xiaoxiao. Then, he presented Shen Xiaoxiao with all the gifts he had prepared.
"Grandpa Wen, Uncle Wen, and Aunt Wen, please come in and have a seat!" Shen Xiaoxiao said warmly, looking at the three people still standing at the door.
"Dr. Shen, I'm so sorry, we won't go in today. My husband probably won't be able to be discharged for another two days."
Zhu Liping said apologetically, and quickly explained, "The main reason I came here is to thank you in person."
“I should have come much earlier, but I really couldn’t leave my family alone. So today I made a special effort to take some time off and invited my father-in-law and brother-in-law to come with me.”
"I have to hurry back to take care of my husband, so I won't stay any longer." As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Liping seemed to be chased by something terrifying behind her. She put down her things, turned around hurriedly, and walked quickly out the door.
Seeing this, Wen Baoguo and his son smiled and nodded at Shen Xiaoxiao, then followed closely behind and strode away.
Watching their departing figures, Shen Xiaoxiao wanted to chase after them and try to persuade them to stay, but then she thought it was inappropriate and stopped chasing them.
Ma Aning, who had been silently observing everything from inside the house, did not say much about her daughter's handling of the situation.
She understood that everyone has their own way of dealing with people, and as long as the intention is good, there is no need to interfere too much.
"Mom, could you please process this meat, and also pack up these pastries?" Shen Xiaoxiao said as she picked up the meat that was placed on the ground in the yard and handed it to Ma Aning.
Seeing that Ma Aning agreed without hesitation, he turned and left the courtyard, walking quickly towards the health center.
Along the way, Shen Xiaoxiao encountered several villagers.
They were all exceptionally enthusiastic. As soon as they saw her approaching from afar, they quickly raised their hands and greeted her with smiles on their faces.
Those beaming smiles were even more radiant and dazzling than the flowers blooming in spring.
Faced with such a warm greeting, Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
She could only manage a forced smile and a slight nod in response before quickening her pace and hurrying away.
After finally arriving at the health center, Shen Xiaoxiao breathed a long sigh of relief once she entered a secluded area.
