Chapter 24: No action, no death



Yao Qiuyue had a very good impression of Dr. Zhao. Every time she came to see him, Dr. Zhao was either treating patients or studying medical books.

Yao Qiuyue was very impressed by his decades of persistence.

After hearing Jiang Ye's description, Dr. Zhao asked anxiously, "Are you worrying too much again?"

Yao Qiyue sighed and said, "Alas."

"Doctor Zhao, Jiang Ye's brother Jiang Jie just came home and told Jiang Ye to die."

"He said Jiang Ye would die sooner or later, so why not just die now and save his family from being a burden."

Doctor Zhao knew Jiang Jie, after all, he was a permanent staff member in the health center.

When people are mentally retarded, they are well-behaved and sensible, and the doctors and nurses who take care of them have to praise them and make them worry-free.

Unexpectedly, she became a different person once she woke up. He also heard the nurse in the hospital say that Jiang Jie didn't look at her like a twelve-year-old child, which was a bit disgusting.

Now, when he heard that he could say such vicious words to his own brother, he couldn't help but curse out loud: "This son of a bitch, he really is a cause for concern."

Jiang Ye’s illness is no small matter, not to mention that he was provoked by someone’s words.

He couldn't find anything from the examination. The machines and the old Chinese doctor in the hospital said that Jiang Ye was hurting his body by worrying too much. If he wanted to fully recover, he had to be more open-minded.

Now that Jiang Jie had provoked him like this, Doctor Zhao was afraid that Jiang Ye's symptoms would become more serious.

"No, you must be hospitalized now."

He has to observe Jiang Ye's symptoms at all times these days. If he coughs up blood like before, all the treatment during this period will be in vain.

"Let's go and complete the hospitalization procedures now."

Jiang Ye didn't want to be hospitalized because of Jiang Jie's matter. Hospitalization costs a lot of money. For him, it costs seven or eight dollars each time.

"Forget it, Doctor Zhao. This is just an old problem. Please prescribe some medicine for me and I'll take it when I get home."

"I won't waste the beds in our hospital. Please leave them for those who need them more."

Jiang Ye still doesn't understand his own health. They are all old ailments. Besides, Yao Qiyue asked him to go back to school, so he put half of his worries aside and felt a lot more relaxed.

If Jiang Jie hadn't suddenly come home to make trouble, he wouldn't have come here to pretend to be sick.

But what he said seemed to Dr. Zhao to be a man of broad vision, a good boy who cared about others.

"You can't be so soft-hearted. You need to be tougher. Look at Jiang Jie. He doesn't care about our brotherhood and curses you like that."

"Oh, that's enough, stop talking. Come with me and I'll take you to complete the hospitalization procedures."

Jiang Ye turned and looked at Yao Qiyue.

Yao Qiyue also wanted to take the opportunity to see how Jiang Ye was recovering, and it would be best to do a full body check-up.

"Doctor Zhao, thank you for your help."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye had no choice but to follow Doctor Zhao obediently.

As soon as Yao Qiyue took Jiang Ye away from home, Jiang Mei also took a detour back to the Jiang family.

Jiang's mother and Jiang Jie came up empty-handed.

Not to mention that Jiang Jie has returned to normal now, even when he was mentally retarded, he was still the apple of Jiang's mother's eye.

Usually at home she focuses all her attention on Jiang Jie.

She had never said a harsh word to Jiang Jie in his life, but now Yao Qiyue was beating him with a feather duster.

This made Jiang's mother very distressed.

Jiang's mother thought that Yao Qiyue almost lost Jiang's father's job. Now it was a new hatred and old grudge, and she was not done with Yao Qiyue.

Jiang's mother was furious, but she didn't expect to find nothing when she arrived at Yao's house.

Yao Qiyue has no other relatives in Nancheng. She does have relatives in the Jiang family, but Jiang Ye will not go there based on his personality.

Jiang's mother simply sat in front of the Yao family's gate and refused to leave.

She didn't believe that Yao Qiyue wouldn't come back until dark.

The medical conditions at Nancheng Health Center are not very good and certainly cannot be compared with current hospitals.

But Jiang Ye’s illness cannot be faked.

Doctor Zhao couldn't help but sigh when he saw the thin bodies of Jiang Ye's family of three.

People are poor nowadays and many families don’t have enough to eat, but it is rare to see someone as thin as Jiang Ye.

Doctor Zhao wrote down Jiang Ye's case history and also wrote a note asking Yao Qiyue to go to the hospital cafeteria to get some nutritional supplements.

The so-called nutritional supplements are just some soybean powder and black sesame paste.

There are boxes of milk and milk powder in Yao Qiuyue’s cake shop, but she looks down on these things.

But the little treasure in her arms kept staring at the thing in front of him.

Yao Qiyue couldn't help but sigh in her heart that life was so hard now.

Yao Qiuyue took the bill written by Dr. Zhao and received a bag of soybean powder and black sesame paste.

Thinking that several people didn’t have a good meal today, the cafeteria in the health center has a wide variety of food.

Yao Qiyue simply bought some porridge and vegetables.

Jiang Ye was arranged in a three-person ward. There were not many patients in the clinic now, and people were reluctant to come to the clinic for treatment for minor pains and illnesses.

There was no one in the bed next to Jiang Ye, but there was an old man living near the window.

Yao Qiyue put Xiaobao on Jiang Ye's bed and placed the nutritional supplements she had brought back on the bedside table.

Jiang Ye looked at the busy Yao Qiyue and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Xiaobao was still young and a little sleepy after a day of hard work, so he climbed onto Jiang Ye's arms and lay down obediently.

Jiang Ye moved his body to make Xiaobao lie more comfortably.

"I'm sorry about Xiaojie."

Yao Qiyue smiled when she heard this: "It has nothing to do with you, why are you apologizing?"

She is not incapable of distinguishing right from wrong. Just like Jiang Mei from the Jiang family, she does not vent her anger on others.

Every wrong has its perpetrator, and no one who offends her can escape.

There is no such thing as venting anger on her.

Yao Qiyue handed the packed millet porridge to Jiang Ye.

The millet porridge is cooked until soft and emits bursts of rice fragrance.

Xiaobao has a small appetite and just drank yellow peach sweet water, so he is not very hungry now. Instead, he fell into a deep sleep accompanied by the aroma of rice.

Jiang Ye leaned against the headboard with a bowl of hot millet porridge in his hands, feeling mixed emotions.

Yao Qiuyue and her family of three were eating a delicious meal in the health center.

Jiang's mother and Jiang Jie were very angry at the door of Yao's house.

Jiang Jie rubbed his hungry stomach and said to his mother who was still angry.

"Mom, let's go back first. I'm hungry."

Jiang Jie didn't expect that his mother, who doted on him so much, was now angry and shook her head to reject Jiang Jie's request.

"No, what if they come back soon?"

"Xiao Jie, go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some biscuits first."

Jiang's mother carefully took out a stack of change from her pocket.

She counted out fifty cents one by one, hesitated for a moment, and finally handed over twenty cents.

The police from the Public Security Bureau asked her to return the pension to Yao's father in full, but she didn't know how to explain such a large sum of money to Jiang Wentao.

Even if the family sells everything they have, they still can’t pay back that much money.

She fell down and wanted to return some of the money, but the new director of the food factory refused her request.

He also said that if she didn't change her ways, Jiang Wentao would be removed from her position.

The Jiang family’s only source of income now is Jiang Wentao’s salary.

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, and that's why she became sick.

I didn't expect Jiang Ye and Yao Qiyue to be so cruel.
