Qin Yu's kindness isn't just talk; he genuinely cares about you.
He doesn't just talk the talk; he actually walks the walk and gets things done.
It's impossible for anyone to refuse anything he does.
It's hard not to love a man like that.
After listening to her two sisters-in-law's explanation, Xia Lan understood why they were so grateful to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu gave their men renewed hope for life, and Xia Lan also gave them jobs that could help supplement their household income.
Everything is moving in a positive direction; all they need to do is avoid making mistakes and diligently complete their work.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you. I'll leave the shop to you."
Xia Lan chuckled and said, "I'm leaving it to the two of them."
"Of course, we will definitely not let you down."
The two women spoke earnestly, patting themselves to reassure Xia Lan that everything in the shop was on their shoulders.
Xia Lan smiled and nodded. Then, several guests entered the room, and Sister Cuihua immediately went to greet them.
Watching Sister Cuihua start picking out clothes for the guests, Xia Lan walked to the backyard with satisfaction.
As soon as she arrived in the backyard, she heard a muffled groan. Xia Lan thought she had misheard, so she listened carefully again.
"snort……"
After confirming that she hadn't misheard, Xia Lan immediately opened the back door and looked out.
An old woman was seen lying on the ground in pain, as if she had fallen.
Xia Lan quickly ran back to the shop.
"Sister-in-law Caihua".
"What's wrong?"
When Sister-in-law Caihua heard Xia Lan calling her, she quickly ran over.
Xia Lan pulled Caihua's sister-in-law to the spot where the old lady had fallen.
"Oh dear, what happened to the old lady?"
Xia Lan and Sister-in-law Caihua worked together to help the old lady up; she was on the verge of death.
Xia Lan touched the old lady's body; it was burning hot. Xia Lan realized that she didn't seem to have broken any bones; she was probably too sick to stand.
"She's so hot! She has a fever."
"Come on, Sister-in-law Caihua, let's take her to the hospital."
Xia Lan said to Sister-in-law Caihua, who then lifted the old lady onto her back. Xia Lan carefully supported her, and the two of them took the old lady to the hospital.
"Sister Cuihua, let's take the old lady to the hospital."
"Okay."
Sister-in-law Cuihua looked at the old woman on Caihua's body and knew that she was the neighbor from behind.
Xia Lan and Sister-in-law Caihua took the old lady all the way to the hospital. When the doctor came to examine her, he touched the old lady's head.
"Why did it take so long to be brought over after it was burned like this? You family members are so inconsiderate."
"This person is already delirious from the fever."
The doctor gave Xia Lan a scolding, but immediately had a nurse bring her a fever-reducing injection.
"Doctor, how is she?"
Xia Lan didn't take it to heart, but instead asked with concern.
The doctor glanced at Xia Lan, then suppressed the anger in his eyes and told Xia Lan about the old lady's condition.
"It must have been something unclean that you found out. And you discovered it too late. The person was already like this. If it had been any later, they would be gone."
The doctor said seriously.
"Who are you to her?"
The nurse asked curiously.
"Next-door neighbor".
Xia Lan's answer surprised the doctor, who looked at her with astonishment.
"Aren't you her family members?"
“I have a shop in front of her house. I just went to check the backyard and saw her lying on the ground.”
Xia Lan replied, "They are not her relatives."
“I haven’t seen any of the old lady’s relatives either. She’s always coming and going by herself, and I’ve never seen anyone else.”
Caihua's sister-in-law, who was standing to the side, said to the doctor that she had just wanted to say it, but Xia Lan stopped her.
Don't let her argue with the doctor.
Should we save that person?
The doctor glanced at Xia Lan and asked.
"Why not save her? We brought her here, of course we're going to save her!"
Xia Lan glanced at the doctor, puzzled. What was he saying?
Did they bring her here just to watch her die?
"...That will cost money. Who among you will go and pay a fee?"
The doctor was helpless.
Xia Lan then realized that this was because they were afraid the hospital would save people but no one would pay the medical bills.
"Go ahead and save them! I'll pay for it."
Xia Lan said to the doctor, and took out twenty yuan to pay the fee.
When the nurses and doctors saw that Xia Lan had actually taken out the money, they immediately became serious. Xia Lan and Sister-in-law Caihua looked at it for a while, and the old lady slowly opened her eyes under the doctor's care.
"..."
The old lady was stunned when she saw the doctor.
Are you alright?
Xia Lan walked up to the old lady and pointed to herself.
Do you remember me?
The old lady spoke slowly in a hoarse voice.
"Did you take me to the hospital?"
Xia Lan nodded.
"Could I ask you for one more favor?"
The old lady looked weakly at Xia Lan.
"you say."
Xia Lan asked.
"My old man is at home. Could you look after him for a couple of days until I'm better and discharged from the hospital?"
The old lady said earnestly to Xia Lan.
"good."
Xia Lan nodded.
"……Thanks……"
The old lady nodded weakly to Xia Lan, then could no longer hold on and fell asleep.
"She is very weak and needs to rest."
The doctor said to Xia Lan, "Also, she's very weak; she probably hasn't eaten for a day..."
"Okay, I'll bring her some food in a bit."
Xia Lan immediately responded.
The doctor breathed a sigh of relief and became much more amiable towards Xia Lan.
