Wang Chunyi: "Take it out."
"Did you bring it?"
Wang Chunyi nodded without hesitation: "I brought it. I was worried that I wouldn't have enough money for medical treatment. I only brought 20 yuan in total."
"Okay." The female doctor added another line to the prescription and said, "For a mild concussion, you don't need to take medicine. Just go home and rest. You should be fine in about a week. Edema is a problem. You need strong nutrition. I prescribed a packet of recovery powder. Our city of Shanghai subsidizes the treatment of edema. It costs one yuan for a large packet, no food coupons required, and it will last for a month.
However, this recovery powder is made from whole grain flour and sugar, so its nutritional value is limited. Considering your family's financial situation, I've prescribed another packet of nutritional powder, ten yuan a packet. Drink two packets once a day for two weeks. Mixing these two packets together will help you recover faster and taste better. If conditions permit, it's best to eat an egg a day during this period, or one every two days. If all goes well, you should be fully recovered in about a month."
After the doctor finished speaking, he handed the prescription in his hand directly to Wang Chunying.
Wang Chunqi was stunned for a moment, feeling a little disappointed with the doctor.
Seeing her standing still, the doctor frowned and said, "You're not going to pay... What? Do you have any other questions?"
Wang Chunyu finally came to her senses. Although she brought a lot of money, she mainly wanted to show it to Yun Qiao. She didn't really want to spend so much!
She held the prescription in her hand, pursed her dry lips, and spoke with difficulty: "I, I just want to ask why the nutritional powder is so expensive. It's almost as much as half a month's salary."
"It replenishes blood, qi, stomach, and body fluids. The main ingredients are wheat flour, lotus root powder, and milk powder. It also contains red dates, sesame seeds, angelica, astragalus, and a small amount of ginseng powder. With just these ingredients, do you think it's expensive?"
The doctor glanced around at Wang Chunyu and Su Lin, sighed, and then continued, "I prescribed the nutritional powder because your family is well-off. Logically, your younger daughter can afford to wear braid, so it makes sense that you can't afford the nutritional powder to treat your older daughter.
"Big sister, please don't be confused about this. This nutritional powder sounds expensive at ten yuan a pack, but it's for my child's treatment. Edema is no joke, it could kill people. It was only a few years after the three-year disaster, and how many people starved to death back then? Even if I don't tell you, you know it."
"Doctor, my mother is not..." The doctor's words made Su Lin feel uncomfortable. She wanted to explain something for herself and Wang Chunyin, but was stopped by Wang Chunyin who pulled her arm.
"Yes, yes, yes." Wang Chunqi lowered his head in shame. "Doctor, you're right. The child's health is the most important. I'll go pay the fee right away."
"Okay, go ahead," the doctor had already started calling the next patient.
After leaving the clinic, Wang Chunyin instructed Su Lin, "Take good care of your sister. I'm going to pay for the nutritional powder and will be back soon."
After saying that, she hurried away, and Yun Qiao and Su Lin sat together on a bench in the corridor.
As soon as Wang Chunqi left, Su Lin stopped pretending and sat two meters away from Yun Qiao.
She glanced at Yun Qiao and said unhappily, "You're really scheming. With just a few words, you misled the doctor into thinking my mom was abusing you, forcing them to spend a fortune on nutritional powder for you! You're so proud of yourself now, aren't you?"
Yun Qiao didn't want to pay attention to Su Lin, so he tilted his head to the side, closed his eyes and pretended not to hear.
She didn't feel proud of anything.
She was Wang Chunxi's child, mistakenly swapped with her for sixteen years. Wang Chunxi owed her money, and it was only right for her to give her some money as compensation.
"Is the concussion fake? I don't believe a minor fall could be this serious!"
"You're a medical student, so you know the symptoms of a concussion. So, those headaches, dizziness, and nausea are all fake, right?"
Yun Qiao suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look at Su Lin.
Su Lin was startled by her red eyes. She feigned composure, appearing stern but weak inside. "Why are you glaring at me? Did I hit the nail on the head? Are you feeling guilty?"
"I don't know what you are talking about." Yun Qiao deliberately curled his lips and shook his head, turned his back and closed his eyes again.
Su Lin was confused and cursed inwardly: "There's something wrong!"
Little did he know that at this moment, Yun Qiao's heart was already in turmoil.
Studying medicine is something I did in my previous life!
It was the autumn of 1968, the second year after the college entrance examination had been suspended, and she was still in her second year of high school.
Because her life story was suddenly exposed and affected her mood, her grades fell behind. When she graduated from high school in 1969, she did not get a recommendation for university from the school. She had to settle for the second best and got a recommendation for a technical secondary school, and went to Shanghai Medical College.
In other words, she did not enter Shanghai Medical College to study medicine until 1969. So why could Su Lin say with certainty in 1968 that she was studying medicine?
This was not something Su Lin should have known in 1968.
