Chapter 7: Not Even Two Dollars



Dr. Wu took out alcohol, cotton, gauze and other things from her bag and placed them on the table.

"Show me your wound so I can change the dressing," she said.

Cheng Jingmo sat on a bench and glanced at Yu Xiangnian who was sitting on another bench. Yu Xiangnian said, "Hurry up, let Dr. Wu check you out."

In fact, she also wanted to see how serious Cheng Jingmo's injury was. If it was, she should not delay any further.

Cheng Jingmo lifted the hem of his clothes, revealing his six-pack abs in front of Xiang Nian, along with his sturdy waist, which looked very powerful.

The injury was on the left side of his waist, wrapped in a piece of gauze, with a small patch of dark red seeping out of the gauze.

"You were bitten in the back?" Yu Xiangnian blurted out as a joke.

Cheng Jingmo opened his mouth and said after a while, "I was just cut with a knife."

Yu Xiangnian: “Oh…”

As Dr. Wu peeled off the gauze, he said, "Can't you just hope for him to get better?"

Yu Xiangnian: “···” You don’t understand humor at all!

Doctor Wu removed the gauze, revealing a wound as long as an index finger. There were twisted stitches on it, and there were dried bloodstains around it.

Yu Xiangnian was also amazed by this suturing technique.

Looking at the wound, it's just an ordinary external injury, not that serious.

Doctor Wu used tweezers to pick up cotton and dipped it in alcohol. Seeing Yu Xiangnian sitting opposite her and watching, she glanced at him and said, "You can't help much, why don't you go cook first."

Oh! She's an eyesore in her own home!

She just wanted to wait here and see if they dared to do anything!

Yu Xiangnian placed her right palm on her flat belly, glanced at Cheng Jingmo shyly, and then said, "Cheng Jingmo said that I'm pregnant with his child, and he will be the one to cook for me from now on."

Cheng Jingmo's body shook. At the same time, Doctor Wu was wiping Cheng Jingmo's wound with cotton and his hand trembled.

Then I heard Cheng Jingmo hissing.

"Doctor Wu, please be gentle. Look, Cheng Jingmo's face has turned pale from the pain." Yu Xiangnian looked extremely distressed.

Cheng Jingmo took a deep breath and turned his face away, not wanting to look at Yu Xiangnian.

This woman is sometimes pregnant and sometimes not. I don’t know which of her words to believe!

Doctor Wu also took a deep breath, changed a piece of cotton, disinfected it, applied medicine, and then applied gauze.

Yu Xiangnian looked at her clumsy technique with contempt in her heart, because her technique with her eyes closed was better than hers.

After everything was done, Dr. Wu told Cheng Jingmo, "Your wound has broken open. Don't exert any more force, otherwise it won't heal properly."

Cheng Jingmo put down his clothes and said, "Excuse me, Comrade Wu."

Yu Xiangnian guessed that Cheng Jingmo either tore the wound while moving those things last night or while doing drill this morning.

This guy is the same, he doesn’t even know to take care when he’s injured!

However, even though she thought so in her heart, she was determined to make the two of them unhappy. She said, "I'm really sorry to bother Dr. Wu. He only listens to you doctors when you tell him these things. Last night, I kept asking him to be gentler, but he wouldn't listen!"

Doctor Wu's face turned pale. He glared at Yu Xiangnian, then looked at Cheng Jingmo and said, "Comrade Cheng, you can't do any strenuous exercise during this period. The wound won't heal well and it will affect your health."

Yu Xiangnian received a cold stare.

Very good! Not only did he try to usurp her position, but he even dared to glare at her!

She smiled and slowly stood up. "Thank you so much, Doctor Wu. How much is it?"

Doctor Wu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's just a small favor, no charge."

"That won't work! The alcohol, medicine, gauze, and other things all belong to the clinic. How can we take advantage of the country?"

Doctor Wu's smile froze on his face.

What this means is that she took things from the clinic for her own use and took advantage of the country.

Doctor Wu explained, "I didn't take advantage of them. I bought these things from the health center."

Yu Xiangnian said, "Then we can't take advantage of you! Cheng Jingmo needs to change his medicine several times anyway, so he can use it. We bought these things from you. I can help him change the medicine in the future. I won't bother you."

Doctor Wu put away the smile on his face and said calmly, "You're not a doctor, would you change it?"

Provoke her?!

Yu Xiangnian didn't want to expose herself, so she still smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this? My technique is similar to Dr. Wu's."

It is clear that Dr. Wu's technique is the same as that of a person who has no medical skills.

Doctor Wu gritted his teeth and said, "Don't joke with Comrade Cheng's health."

"How could I bear to joke about his body? Only when he is well, then I will be well." After saying that, she lowered her head shyly.

Cheng Jingmo listened and felt that something was wrong with the two of them. He stood up and interrupted their conversation, "Comrade Wu, the money should be paid. You leave the things here, and I can change the medicine myself."

After Cheng Jingmo said that, Dr. Wu didn't know what to say. After a long while, she finally said, "Two dollars."

Cheng Jingmo dug into his pockets, put his hands behind his back, and said to Xiang Nian awkwardly, "You pay first."

"Huh?" Yu Xiangnian suddenly looked up at Cheng Jingmo.

After a moment, she realized that Cheng Jingmo must have run out of money!

She suddenly smiled, and Cheng Jingmo was dazzled by Yu Xiangnian's sudden smile, and his ears felt hot.

He really has no money!

His monthly salary was 126 yuan. He gave 80 yuan to Yu Xiangnian, sent 30 yuan back home, and he and Xiaojie used the remaining 16 yuan.

But 80 yuan a month was not enough for Yu Xiangnian to use, and he would ask him for money from time to time. All the hundreds of yuan he had saved during his ten years in the army were taken away by Yu Xiangnian.
