Chapter 79: My Aunt is acting strangely

Bai Zhi recognized the voice from the other person's short sentence.

Her aunt, Li Li.

"I am Bai Zhi, Ye Tiandong's niece."

Bai Zhi's words did not dispel the woman's hostility on the other end of the phone.

"Oh, my niece." Her voice was sarcastic. "Who knows if she's real or not? Maybe she's an imposter?"

Bai Zhi was too lazy to argue with her. She said indifferently, "Could you please give the phone to my uncle? I need to talk to him."

The other party seemed unwilling to let Ye Tiandong answer the phone, saying, "My Dong-ge isn't here, you can call again later."

Bai Zhi didn't give her a chance to hang up, her tone firm, "This is my uncle's mobile phone; as long as the phone is there, he is there."

"Why are you being so fierce, you little brat? You don't know your place!"

Bai Zhi said calmly, "Ms. Li Li, if you don't give my uncle the phone number right now, believe me, I'll take a car to Bincheng right now. By the way, I know Li Bin..."

"What did you say?" The person on the other end of the phone was successfully startled.

Bai Zhi smiled, it seemed that the situation in this life was exactly the same as in the previous life, and there were no other butterfly effects because of her rebirth.

She quickly calmed down and said, "I don't understand what you're saying."

Bai Zhi chuckled, "It's okay if you don't understand. You'll understand when we meet."

The woman on the other end of the phone seemed to be intimidated by her words, and her attitude softened somewhat. She tentatively asked, "What do you want with your uncle?"

Bai Zhi replied, "It's nothing, just asking him to help me find some Chinese medicinal herbs."

Li Li clearly did not believe Bai Zhi's words.

"Really?" she probed further. "Nothing else?"

"Should there be anything else?" Bai Zhi asked, feigning ignorance.

Bai Zhi was too lazy to waste words with her and urged, "Hurry up, I'm in a hurry, don't waste my time."

Li Li became obedient this time and walked towards the bathroom door.

"Brother Dong, I got your phone number. It says it's your niece."

Upon hearing Li Li's words, Ye Tiandong happily pulled up his pants and came out of the bathroom. "Xiao Zhi called?"

He fastened his belt, took the mobile phone, and said in a cheerful and happy tone, "Xiao Zhi, it's your uncle."

Hearing her uncle's cheerful voice, Bai Zhi felt warm, and her tone became much more cheerful, "Uncle, are you busy? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I just got home a little while ago." Ye Tiandong asked with a hopeful smile, "Did you miss your uncle? Want to come to Bincheng? I'll come pick you up?"

Upon hearing Ye Tiandong's words, the modern woman standing to the side slightly pouted her red lips, a complex emotion flashing across her eyes.

"Uncle, I won't be coming back for now. I'm calling you because I need your help."

Bai Zhi's words disappointed Ye Tiandong somewhat. He sighed, "Not coming back?"

He then asked, "What kind of help? If I can do it, I'll do it for you right away. If I can't, I'll find a way to do it for you."

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Uncle, it should be no trouble at all for you."

"I need two kinds of Chinese medicinal herbs, but none of the pharmacies in the south of the city have them. You also do business in medicinal herbs, right? Could you help me see if you can find any?"

Bai Zhi told him the name of the medicinal herb, and Ye Tiandong said it was no problem. When Bai Zhi said that she needed the herb urgently, Ye Tiandong said that he would pack the herb and take it to the long-distance bus from Bincheng to Nancheng the next morning, and Bai Zhi could go to the bus station the next afternoon to find the driver to pick up the herb.

"Uncle, do you know the bus driver?"

Ye Tiandong replied, "I know him. I rode in his car last time, and we had a pleasant chat. I bought him two packs of cigarettes and brought the medicinal herbs over. Don't worry, they'll definitely be in your hands by tomorrow afternoon."

"Thank you, Uncle."

Ye Tiandong asked Bai Zhi a few more questions, urging her to return to Bincheng as soon as she finished her work. Just as he was about to hang up, he saw Li Li craning her neck beside him and asked with a smile,

"Xiaozhi, do you want to say a few words to your aunt?"

Bai Zhi politely declined, "Uncle, no need, there will be other opportunities in the future."

Li Li stood beside Ye Tiandong, listening intently to the conversation between the uncle and niece. She was very tense, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Bai Zhi really only talked to Ye Tiandong about medicinal herbs.

Ye Tiandong hung up the phone and looked at the woman beside him, pulling her into his arms. "Xiao Zhi is a very beautiful and lively girl. You'll definitely like her when you meet her."

Li Li forced a smile, "I hope we can get along."

"Brother Dong, is Xiaozhi from the countryside?" Li Li asked tentatively, her eyes darting around. "Has she ever been to Bincheng?"

Ye Tiandong replied, "They should have been to the old man's place."

"Oh." Li Li was startled by Ye Tiandong's words.

It's over.

She has been to Bincheng.

So she's met Li Bin?

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Ye Tiandong noticed his wife's pale face and asked with concern, "Should we go to the hospital to get her checked out?"

Li Li forced a smile, shook her head, and said, "I'm fine."

"Lili, you're pregnant, so you must tell me if you feel unwell."

Li Li's eyes flickered slightly, and she forced a smile, "I know, I'll rest for a while."

After Bai Zhi finished her phone call with Ye Tiandong, she returned to the pharmacy.

At this moment, Dr. Zhou's afternoon nap was still in progress, and there were no patients in the Chinese medicine shop. Bai Zhi sat on a chair, munching on an ice pop, humming a song leisurely. She planned to first prepare the other medicinal herbs and grind them into powder. Once she found the purple gromwell root, she could dry it and add it back in.

Just as Bai Zhi put the herbs into the grinding machine to make powder, footsteps came from the doorway.

She was busy with her hands. "Hello, are you here to pick up medicine or see a doctor?"

"Looking for you."

Bai Zhi heard a familiar voice, looked up, and looked towards the doorway.

Then I saw a man wearing a floral shirt and jeans, sunglasses, and with a head of stylish long hair, stride in.

His arm was still in a sling.

"Mr. Xie," Bai Zhi greeted him upon seeing him, "Here to pay the medical bills?"

"Hmm," Xie Zheng entered the room, looked around, and said with a tone full of disdain, "Why is this pharmacy so dark and gloomy?"

Bai Zhi, "!!!"

He was speechless for a moment, then kindly reminded him, "Mr. Xie, would you please take off your sunglasses?"

-

Upon hearing this, Xie Zheng exclaimed "Oh!" and suddenly realized what was going on.

He raised his hand and took off his sunglasses.

"Change my dressing first, I'll pay you later."

Bai Zhi was originally going to grind the medicine into powder, but she had to stop now and prepare to change Xie Zheng's dressing.

Xie Zheng plopped down in the chair, stretched out his arm, and acted like a big shot.

He said, "My wound feels a little itchy, does that mean it's healing?"

Bai Zhi said, "That's because of the hot weather, they were covered up."

It's only been two days; the wound can't possibly have healed yet.

Bai Zhi washed her hands and brought over some medical tools.

First, I removed the gauze and then used iodine and cotton swabs to disinfect him.

"Ouch..." Xie Zheng warned, "Take it easy, it hurts terribly."

Bai Zhi rolled her eyes at him. "A real man shouldn't be so dramatic."

Xie Zheng looked aggrieved and snorted, "Isn't a man's life a life? After the anesthesia wore off, I almost died from the pain."

When he started complaining, Bai Zhi realized that she hadn't given Xie Zheng any painkillers.

She was a little embarrassed and tried to brush it off, saying, "How can it not hurt after being stabbed?"

"Bear with it, it'll be over soon." Bai Zhi quickly disinfected, applied medicine, and bandaged him.

Xie Zheng watched her focused and professional movements, hesitated for a few seconds, and then asked, "After the wound heals, my arm should be fine, right?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi looked up at him and asked, "Didn't you go to the hospital for a checkup?"
