Chapter 39
Crisis!
Du Miao’er was definitely unwilling to go back like this.
Of course, she knew who was treating her and why Mrs. Luo was pushing her away. Even though she had been patient these past few days, this old woman still didn’t trust her completely!
Was she afraid that she would have a chance to get involved with the Gu family?!
But now, this opportunity was given to her by that woman. How could she let it go so easily?!
Upon receiving her sister’s gaze, Du Juan’er quickly interrupted, “Sister, the person who treated you is Liu Niang. Why don’t we go over and ask her about the consultation fee? We can also thank her.”
As if she had thought of something, she continued in embarrassment, “Speaking of which, I should apologize to Liu Niang. Previously, she said that she wanted to come over and treat you. At that time, I was very suspicious of her, so I was very disrespectful.”
The sisters cooperated well and immediately stopped Mrs. Luo from stopping them. After all, no matter what, Lin Suisui was their savior. It was only right for them to thank her.
After knowing that the sisters had come personally, Lin Suisui wasn’t too surprised. She calmly put down her half-finished clothes and stood up to receive the two guests who were accompanied by Mrs. Luo.
“You’re too polite. I only know a little about medicine. Besides, you were not suffering from any major illness. It was just a small cold.”
However, you’re body is weak. You have to be more careful in the future.”
After understanding their purpose, Lin Suisui only smiled and spoke politely to the sisters.
This was the first time Du Miao’er had come into contact with Lin Suisui so closely.
Previously, she had heard Du Juan’er say what she had said at Mrs. Luo’s house. She was originally worried that the young lady in front of her had seen through her plan, so she came this time with the intention of being mocked and humiliated by this young lady.
However, to her surprise, the young lady in front of her was very calm. She didn’t seem to be dissatisfied with her or look down on her at all. It was as if she was facing an ordinary visitor. She was polite and distant.
“Thank you for your reminder. Other than thanking you, I also want to ask you about the consultation fee. Mrs. Luo helped us, so we shouldn’t let her pay for it!”
Du Miao’er’s voice sounded gentle, the type that many men liked.
However, Lin Suisui wasn’t a man.
Therefore, she only looked at Du Miao’er and smiled gently. She pushed this matter away. “You’re welcome. You’re not seriously ill to begin with. You just caught a cold. The medicine I gave you is also easy to find on the mountain. It’s not a big deal. Besides, we’ve been together for so many days. It’s really unreasonable to ask for money for such a small matter.”
Du Miao’er knew that Lin Suisui wasn’t as easy to deal with as she had expected!
Therefore, she didn’t stay and embarrass herself. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, she stood up and bade farewell.
After sending the sisters off, Mrs. Luo heaved a sigh of relief. “We finally sent them off!”
I had been on tenterhooks these past few days, afraid that something would go wrong and make her condition worse!
Now, we can finally send them back!”
After spending the past few days together, Mrs. Luo actually sympathized with Du Miao’er and her sister. However, sympathy wasn’t a reason for them to do evil.
There were many pitiful people in this world, but not all of them went down on the wrong path.
“But speaking of which, there have been a lot of people coughing recently!” After Mrs. Luo finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something and said to Lin Suisui in a low voice, “This morning, a few acquaintances of mine came to talk to me. They mentioned that among the refugees who just came in, not only were some coughing and having fevers, but there were also red spots on their bodies. Some of them were seriously festered. It was scary!”
“What did you say?!” At first, Lin Suisui didn’t pay much attention to it, but when Mrs. Luo mentioned the symptoms of the patients, her expression immediately changed. “You’re saying that those people have red spots?!”
“Yes, that’s what the people I know said.” Although Mrs. Luo didn’t know why Lin Suisui was so agitated, she nodded with certainty and told her what she knew in detail.
“You didn’t come into contact with those people, right?!” Lin Suisui’s face was a little pale. Without much hesitation, she looked at Mrs. Luo and asked seriously.
“No. The weather was good today. None of them went into the tent. We were just outside in the sun and chatting. What’s wrong?”
Mrs. Luo couldn’t help but become nervous when she saw Lin Suisui like this. She looked at Lin Suisui worriedly.
“I can’t be sure, but it’s never wrong to be careful. Just keep this in mind first. Don’t tell anyone for the time being. I’ll go over and take a look later.”
Lin Suisui was a little flustered. She couldn’t make a decision without seeing the patient, but it had better not be what she thought it was.
If that was the case…
“I’ll go with you and find an excuse. Anyway, it’s sunny outside now. Everyone is sunbathing outside!”
When Mrs. Luo heard Lin Suisui’s words, she more or less guessed something. Although she was already extremely afraid, she also understood that if such a thing really happened, they would probably suffer!
There was no way to escape!
There might be a way to salvage the situation before it completely spread.
Lin Suisui nodded and didn’t delay. She put down the things in her hand and walked out with Mrs. Luo. However, before she could walk that far towards her destination, she heard a miserable cry from the direction they were going. “Mother, wake up!”
This cry made Lin Suisui, who was halfway there, speed up. Together with the surrounding refugees who only heard the commotion but didn’t know the reason, they rushed in the direction of the cry.
