Chapter 57: Bai Zhi can stay with him.
Bai Zhi had just started acupuncture on Niu Niu when she heard her uncle's words, and Niu Niu's face lit up with joy. "Thank you for understanding, Uncle."
Dr. Zhou, who was telling Niu Niu a story, also breathed a sigh of relief.
If this girl is really taken away by Ye Tiandong, his struggling traditional Chinese medicine shop will probably never recover and will have no choice but to close down.
Before leaving, Ye Tiandong took out a wad of cash from his bag and handed it to Bai Zhi, saying, "This is a thousand yuan I got. You can take it and spend it."
Bai Zhi smiled and politely declined, "Uncle, I don't need money."
"Here, this is your allowance. I've written your phone number in my phone book. Call me when this child's treatment is over, and I'll come pick you up."
Ye Tiandong was forceful, stuffing the money and a brand-new phone book into Bai Zhi's hand.
Bai Zhi had no choice but to accept it, unable to refuse.
Last night, Wang Shufen was still sarcastically boasting to her that girls should be raised in luxury, and today she received a huge amount of pocket money from her uncle.
Looking at the money in her hand, a warm feeling washed over her, and her eyes welled up with tears.
"Thank you, Uncle."
From now on, she will have family.
I am no longer walking alone in this world.
Ye Tiandong glanced at his watch, his tone filled with reluctance, "I have to go back to Bincheng today. Your aunt is pregnant, and I'm worried about her if I stay away for too long."
Upon hearing Bai Zhi mention her aunt, Bai Zhi's delicate eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.
The child in that woman's belly...
She and Ye Tiandong had just recognized each other, so there were many things she couldn't say.
She concealed the unusual emotion on her face and replied, "Okay, Uncle, you should go back soon."
Bai Zhi escorted Ye Tiandong to the entrance of the pharmacy. After a moment's thought, she called out to Ye Tiandong.
"Uncle, if Aunt is pregnant, please try to spend more time with her and don't always be busy with work and never be home."
"Okay, I know." Ye Tiandong looked at his niece, gave her a long list of instructions out of concern, and finally waved goodbye reluctantly, "Xiao Zhi, I'm leaving now."
Goodbye, Uncle.
Bai Zhi watched his departing figure, her heart heavy.
She and Ye Tiandong had just recognized each other, and there were some things she couldn't say rashly. She thought of her young and beautiful aunt, who had been fooling around with a group of bad friends after marriage, and had gotten pregnant with another man's child after drinking, while her uncle was kept in the dark. She felt a lump in her throat and was extremely upset.
In his previous life, the child was already three years old when the uncle learned the truth.
The child was sick and needed a blood transfusion, but when they went to the hospital to check his blood type, they found out that something was wrong.
Under persistent questioning, the woman had no choice but to tell the truth...
"Young lady, are you still buying Sanfu Patch here?" An old man's voice pulled Bai Zhi back to reality.
She looked up and saw the old man who had asked her the question. She smiled and replied, "Grandpa, it's for sale, it's for sale. Please come in and take a look."
........
What did you say?
Over here, Lu Ye had just finished drinking his Chinese medicine, his mouth was so bitter that he frowned. Hearing his parents' words, his handsome face darkened slightly.
Lu Zheng'an sat on a pearwood chair, his face solemn and helpless. "You haven't come home yet, and Uncle Baizhi doesn't agree to her staying at our house. He wants to take her away."
Upon hearing this, Dr. Li, who was standing nearby, said anxiously, "Mr. Lu, Dr. Bai can't leave. What will happen to Company Commander Lu if she leaves?"
Dr. Li looked anxious. He and Dr. Yang saw Bai Zhi perform moxibustion on Lu Ye twice.
I only got a general idea of the moxibustion method.
If Bai Zhi leaves, she certainly won't leave behind the family's secret recipe. Besides, it also requires acupuncture, which is a completely unfamiliar area for them.
In that case, wouldn't Company Commander Lu's treatment be abandoned halfway?
Dr. Yang also looked serious. "Yes, Company Commander Lu can't do without Dr. Bai."
Upon hearing Dr. Yang's words, a strange expression flickered across Lu Ye's handsome, expressionless face.
He inexplicably explained, "Dad, it's not me going home. How can I go home in this state? Bai Zhi understands my situation; she should understand."
Lu Zheng'an was very satisfied with Lu Ye's reaction.
Xie Yun said, "Yes, Xiao Zhi is very sensible. She stayed temporarily because she understands your body and wanted to provide you with treatment."
As soon as Xie Yun finished speaking, Lu Ye's handsome face relaxed.
The two doctors breathed a sigh of relief.
“However…” Lu Zheng’an’s expression remained solemn.
“His uncle disagreed with her living in the military compound. After all, in their opinion, you’ve never even met, and it’s really inappropriate for a young woman like her to live in our compound.”
Lu Zheng'an sighed, "But we're not comfortable letting a girl like her live alone outside. The security situation in Nancheng has been so chaotic these past two years. If a pretty young girl like her gets targeted by thugs, she'll be finished."
"Yes, I've heard recently that many young women have been taken advantage of. Several female teachers at our school who live alone have had their windows smashed. Sigh."
Xie Yun looked worried, while Lu Zheng'an smoked a cigarette and remained silent.
The atmosphere inside the room was very heavy.
Lu Ye took a sip of water, rinsed his mouth, and put down the cup.
After a few seconds of contemplation, he spoke in a detached tone, "If she agrees, she can stay here. There are plenty of rooms in the courtyard."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun both smiled slightly.
“That’s a good idea.” Lu Zheng’an first affirmed Lu Ye’s suggestion, then looked at him with a troubled expression, hesitating to speak, “But…”
Lu Zheng'an hesitated, clearly unhappy, while Lu Ye frowned impatiently, "If she's unwilling, then forget it."
Lu Zheng'an coughed lightly and explained, "What I mean is, if we convince Bai Zhi to come and stay, you have to be nicer to her. You can't always have a long face. She's a young girl who came here all alone to get treatment for you. If you don't give her a good look, how sad will she be?"
Xie Yun echoed her husband's sentiments, "Yes, Xiao Zhi is a child with a hard life, and now she is your savior. We should treat her well."
Lu Ye lifted his eyelids and looked at the people in the room with a cool expression. "Do I look like I have a sour face?"
Lu Zheng'an then turned the conversation to Dr. Li, saying, "Xiao Li, you tell him."
Dr. Li, "!!!"
Why should a working-class person like him answer such a potentially disastrous question?
He picked up the medicine bowl on the table and slipped away, saying, "I'm going to wash the medicine bowl."
After saying that, he ran away in a flash.
