Yang ngyao observed her cousin's expressions and asked, "Cousin, do you really understand my aning?"
Glancing at his watch, Cai Bocheng stood up without answering her question. He gave her a aningful look and said, "I still have work to do. I will visit again soon."
"Okay."
Before leaving, he pulled an envelope from his pocket and handed it to her while saying, "Use this to buy sothing nice for yourself and Xiao Heng. If you need more, just tell ."
Used to receiving money from her cousin, Yang ngyao took it without hesitation and replied, "I still have so from last ti."
Reaching out, Cai Bocheng gently caressed her cheek and said, "I have plenty of money. Don't wronged yourself. You have lost weight. Buy more at to nourish your health."
Touched by her cousin's care, Yang ngyao nodded obediently, "Alright."
Cai Bocheng gave her a deep look before leaving. After leaving, he didn't return ho. Instead, he headed toward the slums.
Thirty minutes later, he knocked on a dilapidated door and said, "It's ."
A mont later, the door creaked open, and a man inside gestured for him to enter, "Co in."
Stepping inside, Cai Bocheng asked, "Did you get what I asked for?"
The man nodded and retrieved two bottles of dicine from a hidden compartnt. Handing them over, he warned, "This one is more potent than the last. Use too much, and it might leave side effects."
Cai Bocheng said nothing, simply handing him a stack of cash before turning to leave.
He then made his way to a secluded alley. Spotting a beggar sleeping against the wall, he walked over and tossed a package at him.
The beggar stirred awake, checked the contents, then asked lazily, "Who's the target?"
"Feng Chen. Cotton factory supervisor."
Hearing this, the beggar chuckled and said, "So, after all this ti, you finally decided to take action, huh?"
Cai Bocheng remained unfazed and added, "Get it done as soon as possible. You will get the rest of the paynt afterward."
The beggar grinned and smacked his lips, "Understood."
After making a deal, Cai Bocheng turned and left the slums. As if nothing had happened, he stopped by the state-owned grain and supply store, bought so groceries, and returned ho.
At the sa ti, in the county town's hospital, Song Yan had just finished his night shift and left the hospital after taking a shower. Riding his bicycle, he headed to the state-owned grains and supply store.
When the staff saw him, a smile appeared on her face as she greeted him, "Hello, Comrade. We just received candies, brown sugar, and sesa oil from the capital. I saved so for you."
Hearing this, Song Yan smiled and asked, "Comrade, how much do you have?"
The staff looked around before taking out a basket from under the table and said, "Comrade, I only have one liter of sesa oil, a kilogram of brown sugar, and half a kilogram of milk candies left. How much do you want?"
"I will take all of it. Please help pack it up," Song Yan said while taking out his wallet to pay.
When the staff heard this, her eyes lit up, and she quickly packed everything. These items were in high demand, and she would slightly raise the price when selling them.
She wasn't worried about being reported because those who asked her to reserve items would also be punished if the authorities found out.
After paying, Song Yan took out a two-kilogram cotton coupon and handed it to the staff while saying, "Comrade, this is for you. Thank you for your help."
The staff's eyes lit up when she saw the coupon. It was hard to get a cotton coupon since everyone was only allocated half a kilogram per year.
Only people working for the governnt or in important jobs like doctors or soldiers could obtain more rations.
She quickly took the coupon and hid it in her pocket before saying, "Thank you, Comrade. If you need anything, just let know. I will do my best to get it for you."
Nodding at her, Song Yan replied with a smile, "Alright."
After leaving the store, he rode his bicycle to Xie Village. It had been a while since he visited his teacher and junior sister. While thinking about them, an image of a girl with unbuttoned clothes suddenly flashed in his mind.
Startled by his own indecent thoughts, Song Yan almost fell off his bicycle. Fortunately, he had agile hands and managed to steady himself in ti. Taking several deep breaths to calm down, he clenched his jaw and scolded himself in his heart.
At the sa ti, his speed increased as a vague longing to see soone surfaced in his heart. Thinking it was normal for a doctor to care about his patient, he brushed it off.
When he arrived at Doctor Xie's house, it was one o'clock in the afternoon. Seeing Li Shu picking dicinal herbs in the front yard, he got off his bicycle and pushed it into the yard.
"Xiao Shu, what are you doing?" he asked while parking his bicycle.
Hearing his voice, Li Shu raised her head and said, "Brother Yan, you are here."
Walking over, Song Yan looked at the herbs and asked, "Who needs these herbs?"
"They are for Sister Lanying. She fainted this morning, and her brother sent her over," Li Shu replied.
Song Yan was taken aback when he heard this and asked, "What's wrong with her?"
Shaking her head, Li Shu replied, "I don't know, but my grandpa said it's an old illness. She is sleeping inside now."
"Where is your grandpa?" Song Yan asked again.
"Grandpa went to visit Aunt Li to get so dicinal herbs."
Song Yan nodded at her and walked into the house. As soon as he entered, he headed straight to the side room where his teacher used to treat patients.
Parting the door curtain, he stepped inside and saw Su Lanying lying on the bamboo bed with a pale face.
