Chapter 414: 122: Business development and culture, Fuwa is the son of Li Xianxian! _6
There were several children playing with mud in the courtyard. They wanted to tease Fuwa when they saw him approaching but stopped at the sight of Ni Yang, who was walking beside him.
Children are often afraid of strangers after all.
“Sister, my dad stays here,” Fuwa pushed open the room door.
The room was dimly lit, and one could scarcely see a person lying on the bed. Fuwa swiftly got up with a stool and opened the window.
Ni Yang walked to the bedside, seemed to tug at the man’s eyelids a little, then sat down to take his pulse.
The room was dirty and messy, and it was filled with an unpleasant smell. But Ni Yang didn’t seem to mind.
Looking at Ni Yang, Fuwa’s voice trembled a bit as he asked, “Sister, can my dad still be saved?”
His father has been running a high fever since midnight yesterday and hadn’t had anything to eat or drink since.
“Your father will be fine, don’t worry,” Ni Yang’s voice was soft and gentle, carrying a calming influence like a spring breeze in April.
Feeling reassured, Fuwa asked, “Really?”
Ni Yang nodded, “Absolutely.”
The man was not severely injured. His legs were initially paralyzed from a fracture, but this condition became progressively worse due to lack of prompt treatment and eventually led to a coma.
Another reason was the environment.
Living conditions here were very poor. The bedding was moldy and the furniture was covered with dust. Such conditions were conducive to bacterial growth.
Ni Yang gave the man a pill to reduce his fever and inflammation, then said, “Fuwa, can you wait for me here? I’m going out for a while.”
“Okay,” Fuwa nodded.
About half an hour later, Ni Yang returned with a brand-new bedsheet and a bag of herbal medicine.
Five minutes later, two middle-aged women arrived as well.
The sudden arrival of strangers made Fuwa a bit nervous.
Ni Yang explained, “Don’t be scared, Fuwa. These two aunties are here to help clean up.”
The two women were diligent; after greeting Ni Yang, they began to clean.
Ni Yang then asked, “Fuwa, could you heat a bath for me?”
“Sure,” Fuwa nodded, “I’m on it!”
Helping out made Fuwa very happy.
Shortly after, Fuwa came back in and said, “Sister, your bath water is ready.”
Ni Yang removed a bag of herbal medicine and handed it to Fuwa, “Fuwa, pour this bag of herbal medicine into the bath.”
“Alright,” Fuwa took it.
After a while, two robust men came in from outside, “Is Comrade Ni Yang here?”
“I’m here,” Ni Yang, who was giving the man an injection, responded.
The two robust men walked into the room, hesitating, “Comrade Ni Yang, are we to bathe this fellow?”
Ni Yang nodded, “Yes.”
The men looked a bit uneasy.
The man on the bed was just too dirty…
No words were more apt than ‘dirty and stinky’ to describe the situation.
Ni Yang followed up, “Don’t worry, you two. I’ll pay double.”
The man was indeed very dirty, and if they didn’t give him a good bath, it would affect his recovery from the illness.
Once Ni Yang decided to lend a hand, she would follow it through to the end.
Upon hearing her words, the men immediately replied, “Comrade Ni Yang, rest assured, leave it to us!”
Double pay, only a fool would refuse such an offer.
