Huang Wanzhen had no strength in her body and didn't even want to open her mouth. She just nodded slightly to indicate that she heard.
When she left, Huang Wanzhen didn't have enough money to rent a wheelchair for a day, let alone buy one.
I had to go to Shen Junyan to borrow money.
"Doctor Shen, can you lend me another five dollars? I will pay you back next time I come." Huang Wanzhen blushed when she heard this. She didn't want to borrow from only one person, mainly because she couldn't find anyone else to borrow from.
Shen Junyan searched his pockets and smiled bitterly, "I don't have that much money."
Just when Huang Wanzhen was about to give up on buying a wheelchair and was planning to stay indoors for a few days, he said, "Wait for me, I'll borrow one from someone."
After only being out for a dozen minutes, Shen Junyan brought back someone, someone Huang Wanzhen knew.
"Oh! It's you! I thought you were some beauty! I didn't expect you to be a young girl." Chu Yanzhi bared his teeth at Huang Wanzhen in a vicious manner.
Huang Wanzhen frowned, then immediately relaxed and lowered her head expressionlessly.
"Yanzhi, this is my patient, please be nicer."
"Oh! You're a patient? You're not my patient!"
Chu Yanzhi crossed his arms and turned his head to the side.
Shen Junyan glanced at him and ignored him. He walked up to Huang Wanzhen and half-knelt down. "Huang Wanzhen, this is my friend Chu Yanzhi. He can lend you money, but you need to sign a receipt."
Huang Wanzhen nodded. "It's my duty. Five dollars is not a small sum. I lent you four dollars earlier, so I should give you a refund. I was negligent. Please bear with me."
Shen Junyan shook his head and was about to say something when Chu Yanzhi interrupted him, "What? You borrowed four dollars from her before? She hasn't paid it back yet? How dare you ask for more money!"
Shen Junyan turned around and looked at his friend helplessly, thinking that he must have taken the wrong medicine today. How could his friend, who was usually the most gentlemanly, be so mean to a little girl?
"Come, come, Yanzhi, let's go out and talk."
As he walked towards the door, he waved to Chu Yanzhi.
Seeing that Chu Yanzhi didn't move, he took two steps back, grabbed Chu Yanzhi's arm and pulled him out.
Chu Yanzhi did not resist, but followed his force and walked out.
When he came back, Shen Junyan was the only one left. He smiled and stretched out his hand in front of Huang Wanzhen, "Here, five dollars, take it."
Huang Wanzhen reached out to take it, nodded and thanked her. When she was going through the formalities at the counter, she borrowed paper and pen from Bella and wrote two IOUs.
She was not in a hurry to send him off. Seeing that it was getting late, she got the wheelchair and hurriedly asked Li Shengnan how to use it.
"It's getting dark. How are you going to get back? Do you need to call a taxi?" Li Shengnan asked with concern.
Huang Wanzhen looked at the sky outside through the window and said, "Someone is waiting for me outside my house. Please, Sister Li, take me out."
Li Shengnan pushed Huang Wanzhen in a wheelchair and sent her out of the hospital gate.
As soon as the two of them appeared, Ah Xiang's voice came over, "Second Miss, Second Miss."
They both turned their heads and saw Ah Xiang speeding towards them pulling a rickshaw.
"Second Miss, I've been waiting for you all day. You scared me."
Li Shengnan patted Huang Wanzhen's shoulder and asked, "Is it him?"
Huang Wanzhen nodded.
"Hey! Buddy, put the car down and I'll carry your daughter up."
Huang Wanzhen: "Sorry to bother Sister Li."
Li Shengnan exerted force and gave Huang Wanzhen a princess hug.
After arranging Huang Wanzhen, Li Shengnan turned around, folded the wheelchair, and directed Axiang to move it onto the rickshaw.
"Hey! Watch out, don't step on her feet."
Only then did Axiang notice that Huang Wanzhen's feet were wrapped in gauze.
There was still some blood seeping out of the gauze.
"Oh my god, how did it become like this?"
Huang Wanzhen tried to move her body to the side to make room for the wheelchair. "It's none of your business. When you get home, no matter who asks you, just say 'I don't know'."
After she finished speaking, she waved to Li Shengnan and said, "Thank you, Sister Li. You can go back to your work."
Li Shengnan reminded her, "Watch your bag, don't drop it, and remember to change the medicine. If you don't know how to change it, come to the hospital."
Huang Wanzhen then remembered that the IOU was still in her bag.
"Wait, Sister Li, could you please pass these two IOUs to Dr. Shen for me?"
The afterglow of the setting sun slowly faded, and the city of Beijing fell into darkness.
As expected, when Mrs. Huang found out that Huang Wanzhen had undergone surgery, she was so angry that she started cursing.
"Have you had enough of the good life and don't want to live anymore?"
"If I had known you were so unfilial, I should have drowned you in a piss bucket right after you were born."
Xiulan looked at Huang Wanzhen who was kneeling on the ground without saying a word, and tears started to fall from her eyes.
Xiuzhu was also very anxious.
"Madam, please drink some ginseng tea to calm down."
"You have such a huge family business, yet you still drink ginseng tea?!"
Xiuzhu obviously bumped into the muzzle of the gun.
Mrs. Huang Dong began to scold her, "The people of the Huang family are born bad."
"The elder one squandered the family fortune, and now the younger one is trying to trouble me."
"Huang Wanzhen! Do you know that your body and hair are given by your parents? Do you want me to die?!"
"Plop——" Xiulan knelt beside Huang Wanzhen.
"Madam, Madam, calm down. Miss, Miss has her own difficulties."
Mrs. Huang picked up the ginseng tea on the tea tray and threw it at Xiulan.
"Bang—Crack—"
Blood flowed from Xiulan's forehead.
Huang Wanzhen's face finally showed some expression. She angrily shouted at Huang Dongshi, "What are you doing? You can't bear to hit your own daughter, but you hit other people's daughters. You look so arrogant!"
Huang Dong pointed at her and cursed, "You heartless bastard! How could I have given birth to a thing like you?"
Huang Wanzhen suppressed her frustration, covered Xiulan's forehead with a handkerchief, and shouted to Xiuzhu, "Go get the medicine quickly."
Xiuzhu secretly glanced at Huang Dongshi and asked in a low voice: "What medicine do you want?"
Huang Wanzhen: "Puhuang, I saw Guizi use it last time."
Xiuzhu: "Then, I'll go ask Guizi for some."
After saying that, he walked out tentatively, but unexpectedly, before he reached the door, he was stopped by Mrs. Huang Dong.
"Stop! If Guizi finds out, how can the master and the old master still keep it a secret? Do you really not want to be married into the Zheng family?!"
The last sentence was obviously directed at Huang Wanzhen.
Huang Wanzhen looked up at her stubbornly. "I unbound my feet with Zheng Yusang's consent. The Zheng family is open-minded and didn't bind their daughter's feet. Zheng Yusang went to a modern school, and the people they looked down upon the most were women with bound feet."
"If I don't unbind my feet and my husband doesn't like me after I marry him, will he go out and find a concubine?"
"Are you still my mother? You keep me in chains all day long and don't wish me well. If Zheng Yusang divorces me one day, you'll be satisfied!"
Since traveling through time, Huang Wanzhen has been actively working to change the fate of the original owner and the Huang family.
But her voice is always easily drowned out, and her opinions and suggestions, even if correct and reasonable, are ignored or even ridiculed.
