Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work
Chapter 332: Gratitude
The woman felt a bit apologetic seeing Yi Roujing like this, "Comrade, thank you. I wasn’t doubting you; I’m just worried about my mom. If the doctor asks about the medicine, you’re the one who knows best. If something happens to my mom, I’ll be finished too."
Although Yi Roujing didn’t understand why the woman’s downfall would follow her mother’s mishap, she followed along with a compassionate medical mindset.
Xu Ancheng sat down on a wooden bench outside the hospital holding Baozi, thinking about Yi Roujing’s serious demeanor while helping others. She was particularly resilient and charming, making him imagine how his wife would look when working in the future.
"A stroke! Quick, go to invite the doctors from the Traditional Medicine Department. This needs traditional medicine to alleviate."
"Nurse comrade, m-my mom won’t be in trouble, right?" The woman was extremely anxious, gripping the nurse’s hand, her face already full of tears.
"Wait for the doctors from the Traditional Medicine Department to come; you can ask them. It’s a bit difficult for me," the nurse said, somewhat helplessly. She didn’t understand it, but based on past knowledge, those brought in with a stroke, even if recovered, usually have disabilities. Many patients brought in are already too late, ending bedridden for life, causing suffering for themselves and their families.
Upon hearing this, the woman cried even more heartbrokenly, "Nurse, please use the best medicine for my mom, the best ones..."
"Doctor Huang is here; Doctor Huang, please take a look." The nurse quickly invited Doctor Huang from the Traditional Medicine Department to the patient’s side.
"When did the symptoms start?"
"Over an hour ago, suddenly happened in the car," the woman replied, choking up.
"It’s not too late that they were brought in," Doctor Huang quickly instructed his accompanying doctors to prepare and brew the medicine.
"Doctor, will my mom be okay?" The woman asked with hope.
"A stroke, this kind of illness..." Doctor Huang intended to give a detailed explanation to the patient’s family, but he suddenly noticed that the patient’s eye movements were quicker, as if the drooling had stopped. Although her mouth was still crooked, the severity seemed less pronounced.
"Don’t, don’t worry."
The woman suddenly heard a familiar voice and saw her mother lying in bed looking at her, leading tears to flow even more freely, "Mom, mom, you must be fine."
Doctor Huang suddenly leaned close to the patient’s mouth, fanned his hand, and a faint aroma wafted over. This is...
Doctor Huang’s eyes widened, looking at the woman with a joyful flash in his eyes, "Did the patient take an An Gong Niu Huang Pill?"
The woman didn’t react immediately to Doctor Huang’s words, but the words An Gong seemed... "Yes, yes, she took the medicine, this comrade gave my mom it, saying it was an An Gong Life-saving Pill."
Following the woman’s indication, Doctor Huang looked at Yi Roujing, showing a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Are they your relatives?"
"No, first time meeting, we were in the same car. But this comrade said she was a nurse before, now studying medicine," the woman replied.
"This comrade is so kind, using such precious medicine for strangers. It’s a rare medicine that money can’t buy," Doctor Huang looked at Yi Roujing with deep admiration.
"Really so precious?" The woman was extremely surprised, thinking it was just ordinary medicine due to Yi Roujing’s easy manner of taking it out.
"The ingredients of An Gong Niu Huang Pill are extremely precious. Many are priceless. I heard people wanted this medicine just days ago; the first-class price was this much," Doctor Huang said, holding up three fingers.
"Three, three hundred!" The woman was somewhat taken aback, finding it not cheap.
"Three thousand," Doctor Huang said, slightly speechless.
The woman was stunned, "Three, three, three thousand a pill?"
"One pill can save a life," Doctor Huang said, "Comrade, did the patient take the medicine as soon as she fell ill?"
Yi Roujing nodded.
"The family can rest assured; with more conditioning, your mother can recover very well," Doctor Huang offered a smile.
"Really, thank you, doctor, thank you, doctor." After speaking, the woman turned around and grabbed Yi Roujing’s hand, "Comrade, thank you so much. This medicine, my mom and I won’t take it for free; I’ll pay you. Thank you, thank you so much."
"We’re connected by fate," Yi Roujing said with a smile, "But I hope you won’t spread this matter publicly. I only have two pills, left to me by my late grandfather, who was a traditional medicine doctor. I’ll keep the other pill for family. I’m afraid people will know I have this medicine..."
The woman nodded repeatedly, "I won’t say, I won’t say, won’t tell anyone, just us knowing. Comrade, thank you so much. I’m sorry for my previous behavior; it was my small-mindedness."
"It’s okay, big sis." Yi Roujing wasn’t bothered about these matters. If it were her, she’d act the same way, what is fed to one’s family, who wouldn’t care?
The elderly woman on the hospital bed tearfully reached out her hand, which the woman quickly grasped and placed on Yi Roujing’s hand, "Comrade, my mom is thanking you."
"Don’t worry, rest well in hospital, take medicine, and exercise afterward," Yi Roujing softly comforted.
After the elderly woman was settled in the hospital and had drunk her Chinese medicine, she fell into a deep sleep. Yi Roujing proposed to take her leave.
"Comrade, wait for me; I’m going to the bank to withdraw money now." The woman quickly asked the nurse comrade to watch over her mother before intending to head to the bank.
"Big sis, just take care of your mom first, I’m not in a hurry..."
"Comrade, I may not have time later," the woman said apologetically, "My mom... family will come later. What you explained will definitely not be spoken about by me. If I don’t give the money now, they might waste it when they arrive."
When the woman handed over the thick paper-wrapped money to Yi Roujing’s hand, she was indeed surprised.
"No need for so much."
"Doctor Huang said even at three thousand, it’s priceless. Don’t worry, my mom has money," the woman seriously stated.
Yi Roujing could only laugh and cry.
"By the way, my name is Mu Guihong; what’s your name, comrade?"
"Yi Roujing."
"Where does the comrade live?"
"I wonder if it’s convenient for the comrade to give me your address; once my mom is well, we would like to visit and thank you in person." The woman said with anticipation, "You said you and my mom are connected by fate. Let’s continue this; if my mom knew, she’d be really happy."
With the woman’s words, Yi Roujing indeed couldn’t refuse, so she gave the address at Beiluo Lane to her.
After the woman expressed endless gratitude, she hurriedly returned to the hospital, while Yi Roujing returned to join Xu Ancheng and Baozi.
"Tired?" Seeing Baozi still asleep, Yi Roujing knew Xu Ancheng had been in this position for a long time.
"Not tired. Let’s go home; Uncle Cao came to pick us up." Xu Ancheng said with a smile, "That elderly woman isn’t in serious trouble, is she?"
Yi Roujing nodded, "Grandfather’s medicine is excellent. Oh, they gave so much."
"Three thousand?" Xu Ancheng had a rough idea based on the thickness of the paper wrap.
"Good eye," Yi Roujing raised an eyebrow, raised her thumb in praise.
