As they were talking, a crying sound suddenly rang out. Yao Tongjia then remembered that she seemed to have forgotten something. Sure enough, it was those people whose acupoints she had acupunctured that morning.
No one knew where they came from; they were covered in filth. Yao Tongjia quickly found out that they had gone out to find someone to treat them.
Yao Tongjia's lips twitched. This was a hospital. If they weren't going to find someone to treat them here, where were they? Were they going to see a sorceress?
Sure enough, Ah Hong complained to Sister Li: "Sister Li, you said that old woman was very powerful, but after we went out, we spent just as much money as we could, and her hand is still the same. What are we going to do?"
"Sister Li, my whole family is relying on me to work. If I can't do this work, my husband definitely won't want me anymore! Please help me!"
Disgust flashed in Sister Li's eyes, but the persona she usually cultivated for herself was too perfect, so she didn't dare to get angry at all and could only suppress her temper: "Let's go find the instigator."
The two men looked up at Yao Tongjia, their eyes initially blazing with anger, but then they had no choice but to lower their guard: "Comrade Yao Tongjia, we know we were wrong. Could you please help me restore my hand?"
Yao Tongjia just wanted to teach them a lesson. If the acupoints are not released for too long, it will cause problems if the blood circulation is not smooth.
She went over and tapped a few more times. Soon her hand was able to hang down. Ah Hong immediately jumped up: "My hand is healed! My hand is healed! That's great!"
Yao Tongjia: "........" Where did this idiot come from?
Sister Li rolled her eyes secretly while looking down, then said softly, "Little sister, you can't just turn other people's hands like that!"
Yao Tongjia: "........." This is a pure white lotus! But she's seen a lot of videos, so she immediately put on her dramatic act: "Auntie, I thought you liked me playing with you!"
"Next time, I promise I won't do it again, I really won't!"
Sister Li: "........" How did this person take my path? Which path should I take?
At this moment, Zhou Kunran walked back and asked, "What are you all doing here so late?"
They usually leave work long ago at this time. I didn't see them when I came over, so I assumed they had already secretly left work.
"No, Yao Tongjia played a joke on us, immobilizing our hands. I... I had no choice but to come to her for help!"
Sister Li's tone suddenly softened considerably, and she kept glancing at Zhou Kunran.
That tone, that look—is he eyeing Dean Zhou? I wonder if Dean Zhou knows?
Dean Zhou, who had been targeted, was currently discussing matters with the village chief. The two were so engrossed in their conversation that they were completely unaware that someone was interested in him.
However, he remained unmoved even after learning this. The ruler of the Zhou clan had an extremely strong desire for control, and he dared not marry another woman and endanger her life.
He will live out his days alone, but he will have a pension; it doesn't matter.
When Uncle Xue was settled, Aunt Xue arrived by car. She was trembling all over. This was her younger brother, the person she was closest to now.
She was supposed to come with the tractor, but she was so frightened by the sight of her younger brother covered in blood that she fainted. When she came to, her child was worried about her coming.
I can only wait for the child to finish her work and then bring her over.
Aunt Xue burst into tears upon seeing Xiao Yan: "How is your Uncle Xue?"
"It's alright, it's alright, you'll be fine after staying in the hospital for a while!"
"Really? How long are you going to stay? Old man, you go back first. I've made all the arrangements at home. My daughters-in-law will take turns cooking. I'll stay here and take care of things for a while."
"My sister-in-law has a ton of things to do at home!"
The village chief knew that his brother-in-law needed someone to stay at home, so he took a puff of his pipe and said, "Then you stay here and take care of things. I'll have someone bring you some food tomorrow!"
Xiao Yanli stopped her, saying, "Why send us food rations? My home is close by, so we can eat at my house. We don't need food rations!"
"Yes, you had to pay me your food rations when you came to my place for a meal last time. These days, nobody has enough food to spare, so I can't take advantage of you."
"It would be too much trouble to send it over. How about this, you can come pick up Uncle Xue and give me some more food later, is that alright? I'm not afraid you'll run away!"
"That's right, that's right! They say you can run away from someone, but you can't run away from your home!"
These words made Xiao Yan laugh, and she gave Aunt Xue a thumbs up: "Aunt Xue, you're amazing! You're incredible!"
"You're so amazing! You've saved another family's life. If my brother hadn't made it, the family would have fallen apart. I'm so grateful to you!"
“Aunt Xue, I’ve been living in this village for so many years, and you’ve always taken care of us. I’m so happy that you finally have the chance to repay us!”
"I only said a few words, that's nothing. I can't possibly have your skills to save someone!"
Hearing the two men boasting to each other, the village chief quickly coughed and said, "Old woman, you stay here. I'll take the men back first, and when someone comes, I'll have someone send you some grain and vegetables!"
Aunt Xue patted her head: "I completely forgot to pick the vegetables from your yard for you. I guess I'm getting old and my memory is failing!"
Xiao Yan knew that Aunt Xue was in a state of confusion because her younger brother was injured, so it couldn't be because of a memory problem: "Just ask Uncle Village Chief to help get someone to pick them."
"Didn't I ask you for some seeds last time? I planted them in my yard, and now I don't need to buy vegetables anymore!"
Aunt Xue was immediately comforted and said, "That's great! I feel so anxious buying even a single scallion! Everyone says the county is good, but seeing how fast money is being spent, it's really not easy to live here!"
When Aunt Xue saw her brother lying motionless on the bed, she cried again. Xiao Yan quickly comforted her, "Let him stay here for the next two or three days."
"If you can get through these two days, your life will be fine!"
"It's good that there are no problems, it's good that there are no problems!" I'll sit here and watch him tonight!
“Aunt Xue, come back to my place. There’s a doctor on duty tonight. I’ll come with you tomorrow morning. You need to get some rest, as you’ll be taking care of me day and night from now on!”
"Uncle Xue won't be able to leave the hospital for at least a month!"
"What? A month?" Aunt Xue's complexion, which had finally returned, vanished completely again.
This hospital is far beyond the reach of poor people like them. Even if the entire village were to be wiped out in a month, they still couldn't afford the medical bills.
"Aunt Xue, don't be afraid. The medical expenses have been settled. Uncle Xue can stay here first, and we'll pay later!"
"How do I pay?" Aunt Xue was almost unable to stand up!
Xiao Yan helped Aunt Xue to a seat and told her about Yao Tongjia's plan in detail.
Aunt Xue burst into tears: "You are truly our saviors! This is so timely!"
If it weren't for this incident, my younger brother would definitely have been taken back to die. I will definitely repay them properly in the future!
