The two scoundrels looked at each other with a lewd look in their eyes. They walked up and grabbed Zhang Xingrong, but Zhang Xingrong turned around and scared them.
"Oh my god, it's as ugly as a ghost!"
Zhang Xingrong's face was really ugly at this time. One side of her face was covered with black spots like old tree bark, which looked really scary.
The two men felt unlucky and turned to walk away, but after a few steps they stopped again.
"Even though it's ugly, you can at least cover your face, right? You'd be a bastard not to take advantage of an opportunity!"
"Yes, I haven't found a wife yet!"
The two of them whispered to each other for a while, then turned around and came back.
Zhang Xingrong listened to the two people's whispers and was speechless. She finally understood the mentality of some low-class people. There were always people who said who would touch someone so ugly, but some people just wanted to take advantage!
She deliberately squatted there and didn't rush to get up. When the two scoundrels approached, she suddenly turned around and kicked them!
Bang bang!
The two scoundrels fell to the ground, and she immediately grabbed a stick and started beating them. She could handle just two scoundrels. The scoundrels screamed and quickly got up and ran away.
"Just wait, you ugly bastard! I'll get someone to come back and beat you to death!"
The two scoundrels ran off with their harsh words. Zhang Xingrong had no choice but to find a place to hide. When the scoundrels came back and couldn't find them, she came out again.
She dug up most of the konjac, took a few muddy seeds, and picked a lot of berries, then went back satisfied. The mountain not far from the backyard should be suitable for growing konjac, so she went back to give it a try.
Back to the black market, without people like Heihu and Tietuo, the alley became much quieter and everyone continued to do business.
Zhang Xingrong simply sold all the remaining millet and jelly seeds. After all, there was so much konjac now that it would last for several days.
After selling the things, she turned around again and saw the old lady waiting for her. She went up to the old lady and called her to go with her to see the patient.
Only this time did she know that the old lady's surname was Qian and her son's name was Cao Mingxuan.
The Cao family used to be landlords, but after the struggles a few years ago, only the mother and daughter were left. When they had nothing to eat, they would leave food outside the city, which is how they contracted schistosomiasis. The old woman couldn't bear to eat the food she found, so she left it for her son, who, in turn, didn't get sick.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't been searching for things, Mingxian wouldn't have ended up like this." She thought, since she was old, it didn't matter whether she lived or died, so she secretly left the things to her son. Who knew it would turn out like this?
"Grandma Qian, let me take a look at the situation first."
The Cao family mother and son lived in a dilapidated wooden house on the edge of town. The house was small and shabby, consisting of only two rooms, an inner room and an outer room. The outer room held a bed, a stove, and a few miscellaneous items. Although it was cramped, the old woman, evidently a meticulous person, kept it tidy.
After passing the outer room, I entered the inner room. There was only a bed inside, and on the bed lay a thin man. The man had a big belly, his eyes were closed, and his breathing seemed intermittent.
"Auntie, he needs surgery as soon as possible. I'll give you some medicine. Let him drink it for a few days, then take him to Anxi Town Hospital and ask the doctors there to perform the surgery. They might not be willing to do it, and then..."
Old Mrs. Qian listened carefully to Zhang Xingrong's instructions. Her eyes turned red after hearing them. "Thank you, girl."
Although she had her doubts and didn't know if this girl could really save people, she wasn't someone who didn't know what was good for her. Since her son was dying, she had no choice but to give it her all. So she was willing to trust Zhang Xingrong.
After all, these days, no one wants to get close to people of their status. This girl has a good heart, so why not take a gamble?
