Yao Ran was curious and went downstairs to see what happened. Looking outside through the metal door, she saw a man in his twenties supporting an old man in his seventies.
When the man saw her, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Hello, Miss Yao. I'm sorry to disturb you early in the morning. I heard from my grandmother that you are a medical student. Can you help me check on my grandfather?"
Yao Ran looked at the old man's pale face through the bulletproof glass on the metal door and asked, "What happened to your grandfather?"
The man glanced at his grandfather worriedly and then at Yao Ran.
His voice filled with worry when he said, "My grandfather fell in the bathroom this morning. We wanted to take him to the hospital, but we were afraid he wouldn't be able to bear the journey."
While the man was explaining the situation to her, Yao Ran observed the man in front of her. He is tall, has a handsome and gentle face, and is polite to others.
"I heard from my grandmother that you are a medical student and studied Chinese medicine. I want to know if you can help my grandfather."
Yao Ran thought for a while and said, "I know a little bit about acupuncture, but I'm still learning. Are you sure you want me to treat your grandfather?"
The man hesitated for a moment, but when he saw his grandfather's pale face covered with cold sweat, he gritted his teeth and said, "I hope you can treat my grandfather, Miss."
Yao Ran thought for a moment and said, "I can treat your grandfather, but I don't provide medicine. You also need to pay for my services."
Hearing this, the man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I don't have much cash with me now. Can I pay with a credit card?"
Yao Ran chuckled and said, "Money is of no use now."
When the man heard this, he fell silent. Hearing his grandfather's painful groans, he clenched his hands. As long as Yao Ran can treat her grandfather, he will try his best to meet her requirements.
After a moment of silence, he finally asked, "What kind of payment do you want?"
Yao Ran has no shortage of food and supplies, but she needs antiques to upgrade her space.
She looked at the man and said, "I know everyone is short of food now, so I won't ask for food as payment. If you have gold or antiques at home, you can use them to pay me."
Hearing this, the man thoughtfully looked at Yao Ran and said, 'The antiques were of little use now, but why would she want them?'
While gold can still be used to buy things from the government, the value is low, and the exchange rate actually uses weight.
