Chapter 364: Chapter 364: Illness

There are many post offices in Jing City, and the nearest to Beiluo Lane is the Beida Street Station post office, which is a fifteen-minute walk for Yi Roujing.

It was May Day, so there weren’t many people, and there were also fewer staff members. Yi Roujing went to the telephone and requested to make a call, upon which a staff member came to time her call.

Yi Roujing first called Xu Ancheng, and mentioned that dinner would be at Beiluo Lane, to which Xu Ancheng agreed immediately and said he would come with Xu Zongyin.

Having made one less call than expected, for the call to Huaixi County, Yi Roujing planned to talk a bit longer.

The call was made to the post office nearest her parental home. Just as it connected, Yi Roujing intended to hang up and call back in ten minutes, but unexpectedly, as soon as the staff member said they would call Liu Huilan to the phone, someone grabbed the phone.

"Roujing." Liu Huilan’s voice came through the receiver, but it was not the usual cheerful tone; it was choked with sobs.

Yi Roujing’s heart sank, "Mom, what’s happened?"

"Your third sister-in-law, Chenyan, she..."

"Mom, what’s wrong with Third Sister-in-law?" Yi Roujing asked urgently, her heart racing upon hearing Liu Huilan was already in tears.

"Your third sister-in-law, she hasn’t had her period for the past two months. We thought she was pregnant, but when she went to the hospital, it wasn’t that," Liu Huilan said sadly. "The doctor said something has grown inside, causing her not to have her period."

Liu Huilan was extremely distressed because she liked Xie Chenyan a lot; having lost her parents early on, she cherished her even more. Their son Sweet Potato is only seven months old and can’t even call anyone yet.

When doctors say something’s grown inside, it’s almost like a death sentence. When Liu Huilan and the others got the news, they were nearly overwhelmed with grief.

Hearing this, Yi Roujing was also taken aback, but she quickly thought of many things, "Mom, don’t scare yourself. Have Third Sister-in-law come to Jing City."

"The equipment for examinations in Jing City is advanced. Maybe the county hospital didn’t have a clear look and got it wrong," Yi Roujing suggested. "Even if something really has grown, the doctors in Jing City are more skilled, and at most, it’s just a matter of surgery, which will soon be over."

On the other end, Liu Huilan was comforted. "Really?"

"We’ll know for sure when you get to Jing City," Yi Roujing assured. "Mom, tell Third Sister-in-law and Third Brother not to overthink, stay firm in mind and cheerful in spirit, which helps with everything."

"I’m studying medicine; you don’t believe my words?"

"Yes, yes." Liu Huilan’s voice rose in assurance, "I’ll go back and tell Chenyan and the others, we’ll come to Jing City tomorrow."

"Once you have the tickets, give me a call, and I’ll pick you up at the station," Yi Roujing said.

"Okay." Liu Huilan said with great relief, "Roujing, you’re just like your grandfather, calm and unflustered in the face of problems, I’m truly glad."

"I’ll go pack our luggage now."

After the call ended, Yi Roujing began to consider where would be best for Xie Chenyan to be hospitalized. Based on who she knew well, Yi Roujing made a call.

Li Hongwei didn’t expect to receive a call from Yi Roujing and coincidentally, he was right in his office, so he immediately picked up the phone.

"Mr. Li, it’s Yi Roujing." Yi Roujing introduced herself directly.

"Ah, Yi Roujing, what can I do for you?" Li Hongwei was surprised.

"Do you know which is the best gynecology hospital in our Jing City?" Yi Roujing asked.

Li Hongwei was momentarily stunned; his first reaction was, is Yi Roujing pregnant?

"My sister-in-law is ill, a gynecological condition, she might need surgery," Yi Roujing explained.

Li Hongwei instantly became serious, "The best obstetrics and gynecology hospital in Jing City is Harmony Hospital, whose head of obstetrics and gynecology is also a graduate of Jing University, named Mu."

He paused for a moment, "Do you have contact information for the Mu family?"

The Mu family, Yi Roujing couldn’t recall knowing them, but being mentioned like this, they must be prominent. It would be easy to ask Xu Ancheng for them.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, I’ll inquire."

After hanging up, Li Hongwei was still somewhat puzzled, does she really need to inquire?

Hesitating a moment, Li Hongwei still dialed the number left by Mu Guihong.

The phone rang three times before being picked up.

"Hello, I’m the counselor for the Clinical Medicine Department at Jing University. My name is Li Hongwei. May I know if Mu Guihong is available?"

"Please hold on."

Old Mrs. Mu had been discharged, and the nanny quickly informed her since Mu Guihong was not home at the moment.

"Madam, a call has come from the School of Medicine at Jing University, looking for Hong."

"I’ll take it." Now Old Mrs. Mu didn’t need support to stand up and could walk unassisted as long as she wasn’t too fast, and her speech was clear.

Many in Jing City marveled at her good fortune; when others had strokes, it often led to paralysis or being bedridden, whereas the Mu family’s medical prowess was remarkable.

Her recovery played a large role in the Mu family’s growth and development, so much that on rest days there was hardly anyone at home.

"Mom, is it from the girl’s school who saved you?" Mu Guiwei was home with the old lady today and excitedly followed her.

"Mom, let me meet the girl, she, in her hands..."

"If you stay quiet, no one will think you’re mute," Old Mrs. Mu glared at her youngest son while he amusedly rubbed his head.

"Hello, Mr. Li. Hong is not available right now. You can talk to me; I’m the Old Mrs. Mu of the Mu family, whose life was saved by your student Yi Roujing."

Li Hongwei understood immediately from the old lady’s words and relayed what Yi Roujing asked him. Old Mrs. Mu took note of it.

"Mr. Li, rest assured, we’ll take care of this. I will certainly reach out to your student, Yi Roujing," Old Mrs. Mu said kindly. "Thank you for letting us know, and if the Mu family can support you in any way, just ask."

"To nurture such great students, Mr. Li, you truly are diligent gardeners of our nation."

Hearing the disconnect tone, Li Hongwei smiled wryly, realizing he had benefited from his student.

Back at Beiluo Lane, Li Hongying noticed Yi Roujing seemed preoccupied.

"Roujing, what’s wrong? Did something happen with the in-laws?" Li Hongying asked with concern.

"My third sister-in-law is ill. She’s coming to Jing City tomorrow for treatment," Yi Roujing replied truthfully.

Li Hongying’s heart skipped a beat at the news, coming to Jing City meant Huaixi County couldn’t treat it, "Chenyan seemed so healthy, maybe the doctor in Huaixi County got it wrong, coming to Jing City for a checkup is wise; there’s no ailment here that can’t be handled."

"Oh dear, with the in-laws visiting, I need to prepare the rooms, two are necessary, I’ll go air the quilts." Li Hongying patted Yi Roujing’s shoulder, "Don’t overthink it."

"Mom, I’m fine, and as a medical student, I’m calmer and more understanding than most; let me first find a good hospital for Third Sister-in-law."
