After several hours of emergency surgery, Yue'er was once again out of danger. The moment Yue'er opened her eyes, Lin Zhaoyue held up a soda for her, saying, "Look, your sister bought you some!"
Yue'er weakly tugged at the corners of her mouth, as if to say "thank you".
Seeing that she was covered in tubes, Lin Zhaoyue comforted her softly, "You need to recover first before you can drink. I also bought you some snacks. I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I bought you a little of everything."
Yue'er nodded slightly to indicate that she understood. Lin Zhaoyue didn't say anything more and spent the whole morning with her. They ate lunch at the hospital cafeteria. In the afternoon, an elderly man suddenly felt unwell in his heart, and the nurse promptly gave him a 'Qingxin Pill'. Lin Zhaoyue went over to observe the patient's condition.
The main effects of Qingxin Pills are to relieve heart pain and ease vascular pressure. After the patient's discomfort disappeared, Lin Zhaoyue took the patient for a full-body examination and found no problems, indicating that Qingxin Pills were effective.
Of course, one patient is not enough to tell the whole story, and Lin Zhaoyue needs to continue to "observe".
Before leaving get off work, I delivered the report I had recorded today to Zhang Fuyi. He wasn't in the research lab; I had to ask other researchers to find out he was in his dormitory.
Zhang Fuyi is not a local; his dormitory was arranged by the institute.
The dormitory was located above the male dormitory building. Lin Zhaoyue walked to the dormitory door, curled her fingers to knock, and heard Zhang Fuyi's voice coming from inside.
"My salary, which I just sent home at the beginning of the month, is gone so quickly? Where did the money go?!"
"Little sister, the salary I receive from the office every month is fixed. I send every single penny back home. What more do you want from me?"
“Even the clothes I’m wearing were bought seven or eight years ago. I’m frugal and reluctant to spend money on myself, but you guys at home spend money without batting an eye. Tell me the truth, how did all the money disappear?”
"..." Lin Zhaoyue knew it wasn't good to eavesdrop on other people's conversations here. She looked down at the report in her hand, but it would probably be even more inappropriate to go in now.
The little girl with two braids, her eyes brimming with tears, stammered, "Big brother, I know you have a hard time in the city, but Mom..."
She gritted her teeth halfway through her sentence, knowing that if she didn't tell him everything now, her brother wouldn't try to get the money, and she would go back empty-handed and be severely punished.
"My second brother is getting married. The bride's family is asking for three large items, plus a dowry of sixty-six yuan, and a big banquet with several tables."
"He doesn't even have a proper job, how is he going to support his wife and children?" Zhang Fuyi looked at his younger sister in shock. His second brother was getting married, and he, as the eldest brother, didn't even know.
Zhang Fuyi knew his younger brother's temperament best.
Even if he gets married in the future, he'll still be a bastard.
He simply cannot shoulder the burden of the family, and the responsibility of supporting the family will inevitably fall on his shoulders.
Zhang Fuyi now feels like he's being suffocated by money.
He knew he couldn't take his anger out on his sister, who had been forced to come to his door asking for money.
"I have no money."
Zhang Fu's voice carried a hint of helplessness, "I don't have a single penny to spare right now. You should ask our mother to think of another way."
"Big brother!" The little girl grabbed Zhang Fu's arm suddenly. "If I don't get the money and go back empty-handed, Mom will definitely beat me to death. Can you think of something? Mom even said that if you can't do anything, she'll consider selling me and marrying me off to whoever offers the highest dowry. Last time a matchmaker came to our house, she said she wanted to marry me off to that idiot in town. Waaah, big brother, I don't want to marry an idiot..."
"..." Zhang Fu slammed his hand on the table angrily and cursed under his breath.
What solutions could he possibly come up with?
Should I borrow money from my colleagues? Borrowed money always has to be repaid sooner or later.
How is he supposed to pay back his fixed monthly salary?!
Zhang Fuyi's Qingxin Pill, which he has developed, has not yet been officially launched on the market, so he will not receive any extra "bonus".
"Couldn't you have waited two years to get married?"
Zhang Fuyi will have more money in his hands when the time comes.
"The woman is pregnant and said that if we don't meet her requirements, she will immediately abort the baby. My mother values this child very much." If it weren't for the premarital pregnancy, he wouldn't have been so easily manipulated by the woman.
"That bastard!"
Zhang Fuyi was completely out of options.
"Cough cough"
A very soft voice came from behind, and Zhang Fuyi's expression changed drastically. "Who?"
"Senior, this is the report I recorded today. I'll bring you a backup."
Lin Zhaoyue's legs were numb from standing outside. When the dormitory door opened, she handed over the report first. She saw the little girl who had been talking to Zhang Fuyi earlier, her eyes red and swollen from crying. The two siblings did look quite alike.
"Okay." Zhang Fu took it and looked at it. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the Qingxin Pill, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Zhaoyue, it's best to speed up the clinical research. This medicine is the culmination of my years of hard work. The sooner it's on the market, the better."
"Don't worry, senior brother, I will definitely speed up the process. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now and won't bother you."
Lin Zhaoyue turned and left with great tact. Zhang Fuyi closed the door and sat down with a heavy heart. "Little sister, stay for a few days. Let me think about what to do."
"Uh-huh."
Seeing her brother say that, she felt relieved. As long as she didn't go back empty-handed, she was fine with anything.
...
Every family has its own troubles. Lin Zhaoyue didn't know Zhang Fuyi well, only that he was also arranged to enter the medical research institute by Professor Liao, and that he was very capable, as evidenced by the Qingxin Pill.
Considering what I heard today, his family situation seems to be just average.
When Lin Zhaoyue got home in the evening, the first thing she did was hug and cuddle her children. The two children kept calling "Mom," which warmed everyone's hearts.
"Alright, finish your milk and go back to your room to sleep. Mommy is tired, let Mommy rest." Hua Xiuyun instructed the nanny to carry them back to their room. She then carried a plate of food that she had just heated up from the kitchen. "Zhaoyue, quickly try the pork rib and lotus root soup I made today, how is it?"
"Thank you, Mom." Lin Zhaoyue doesn't have to worry about anything at home now, as her mother-in-law takes care of everything. She only needs to spend time with the children and work hard.
"Zhaoyue, you seem to have lost weight recently. Is the research institute very busy?"
Hua Xiuyun sat down to chat with her, so that Lin Zhaoyue wouldn't be bored.
"fine."
Lin Zhaoyue felt she could still manage. "The professor has assigned me to be in charge of clinical trials, so it won't be too busy. I can come back to be with the children sooner."
"That's good." Hua Xiuyun urged her to eat more, at least to finish all the pork rib and lotus root soup, and not leave any.
Lin Zhaoyue was quite full from drinking, and there were still two small pieces of lotus root left in her bowl. Just then, Jiang Jingzhou came back, and he ate them one by one without wasting any.
"You haven't eaten? There wasn't any left for you in the pot," Hua Xiuyun asked casually.
