Thinking that she can ask for more ingredients at the same time. Mother Jiao considered the pros and cons and said, "Okay, but you’d better not lie to me, and don’t try to give me fewer ingredients."
Li Chenxuan nodded and said, "Then I’m going to get the food. Mother, please help Siyu wipe her body. The doctor said we need to move her from time to time to prevent a rash on her back."
Mother Jiao found Li Chenxuan annoying, so she waved her hand impatiently and said, "I know, I know. You go get the food."
Li Chenxuan’s eyes turned cold because of Mother Jiao’s rudeness, but he still held it back and said, "Then I’ll take my leave first, Mother."
Mother Jiao went to get the porridge without even looking at him. Li Chenxuan clenched his fists and left angrily. After leaving the ward, he did not go back to the rental house but went to find Professor Zhang. After getting the recommendation letter, he went to get the food.
He calculated how much food was needed for each meal and gave Mother Jiao three kilograms of coarse grains, five eggs, and a catty of meat. This is enough food for six to seven days.
Although Mother Jiao wanted more, Li Chenxuan refused, saying that the food was given by his family and he had no money or food and couldn’t give more even if he wanted to. In the end, Mother Jiao could only accept the ingredients with a dark face.
After settling the meal problem with Mother Jiao, Li Chenxuan packed his clothes, took all of his money, and bought a train ticket to the capital. It takes him two days to get from the county town to the capital. So, after notifying his superiors, he boarded the train and headed to the capital.
Not knowing that Li Chenxuan went to the capital city, Father Li was still thinking about where to get money to treat Jiao Siyu’s illness. Although his mind was wandering, Father Li was very efficient at work. He had completed almost half of the work before noon.
Seeing his healthy complexion and strong body, the villagers couldn’t help but suspect that Father Li was really in his fifties. His original white hair even gradually turned black, making him look at least ten years younger.
Father Li was known as one of the most handsome men in the village when he was young, and Mother Li was the village’s beauty, so their children were handsome and charming. Even in his later years, Father Li still makes many middle-aged women blush with his good figure and handsome face.
Therefore, when the villagers saw Father Li and his wife bringing back their second son from the hospital, they were surprised because the second son’s appearance was so ordinary. Among the entire Li family, Li Chenxuan stood out because of his ordinary appearance and short stature.
