Chapter 4 That girl can't be kept alive (2/2)



Du Changzheng, nearing fifty, had seen too much of the cunning in people's hearts to doubt this, and his eyes reddened. "Sister-in-law, that girl can't be kept alive."

"Um."

Yu Mingxiang nodded and left the machinery factory for Peking University Hospital.

She originally taught at Kyoto University, but after Kyoto University stopped admitting students, she went to work at the affiliated hospital, which was a job that matched her major.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Yu Mingxiang went straight to the logistics department.

Li Zaiyang, the head of the hospital's logistics department, was her late father's student. Her father not only had a teacher-student relationship with him, but also saved his life.

In her previous life, both of her sons and her eldest daughter-in-law died in the Northwest. The only reason she was able to survive until she returned to the city was thanks to Li Zaiyang's help.

It was he who used his connections to send supplies and medicine to the Northwest, and the line in his letter about returning to her homeland with the remains of her children gave her the will to live.

this life.

Yu Mingxiang knocked on Li Zaiyang's office door again.

"Please come in."

Hearing a familiar voice coming from inside, she pushed the door open and went in.

"Senior brother, you don't come here without a reason. I've come to ask for your help."

"Finally, you've learned to speak like a human being."

Li Zaiyang, behind his desk, glanced at her, then got up and started making tea. "You used to be so polite with every little thing you had, it really annoyed me. Rizhao Green or Yunnan Black Tea?"

"Yunnan black tea, please."

Yu Mingxiang ordered tea and then got straight to the point, "Senior brother, I need medicine! I need all the medicines I need for daily life, the more the better!"

Although there is a spiritual spring in the space, its specific effects are still unknown, so she still needs to prepare some medicine and the like.

Li Zaiyang froze as he brewed tea, turning to look at her. "Something happened?"

"Um."

Yu Mingxiang nodded.

"Can't avoid it?"

Yu Mingxiang nodded again.

"Can losing money avert disaster? My senior brother is rich."

Yu Mingxiang smiled bitterly, "It's just a misfortune brought on by having so much wealth."

Li Zaiyang understood.

"You still have the mind to joke around? Looks like it's not a big deal. Can you handle this?"

"We can manage, but we need our senior brother's help in case of emergency."

"It's no big deal."

Li Zaiyang handed the brewed tea to Yu Mingxiang, "When do you want some?"

Yu Mingxiang made an appointment with him, drank tea, and then left.

As for the cost of the medicine, she didn't dare mention it at all...

She was afraid that if she brought it up, her senior brother would kick her out.

After visiting three different places, it was already getting dark.

Yu Mingxiang wasn't in the mood to cook, so she went directly to a state-run restaurant and ordered a few dishes.

Rice, braised pork belly, roast duck, braised pork hock, plus a large platter of assorted vegetables—it's refreshing and helps cut through the richness of summer.

A whole bunch of hearty dishes only cost a little over ten yuan.

Having witnessed the soaring prices of later generations, even Yu Mingxiang couldn't help but marvel at the high quality and low prices of this era.

"Auntie, you're so generous. One meal cost me half a month's salary."

The young girl packing the items glanced at her with envy as she did so.

Yu Mingxiang was pleased by her calling her "Auntie".

In both her past and present lives, young people always called her "Grandma".

Having been given a second chance at life, transforming from a seventy- or eighty-year-old woman into a forty-something youth, she's hit the jackpot.

"You only live once, so why can't you treat yourself well?"

She smiled and replied, then carried her bags home.

When she got home, her eldest son and his wife, as well as her second son, had already returned from get off work. Besides them, she also saw another person…
