Chapter 560: You're not really coming to borrow money.

Her lips twitched slightly, and she patiently said, "Thank you, Second Aunt, for your concern."

She added, "I'm fine, so you don't need to worry about me anymore."

"How could I not miss you? In my heart, you are like my own child."

Bai Zhi couldn't listen anymore and planned to hand the phone to Lu Ye.

This person's sudden change in tone is definitely suspicious.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wang Shufen coughed lightly and then changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Xiao Zhi."

Bai Zhi rolled her eyes.

The important matter has arrived.

"I want to ask you, do you have any contact with your maternal grandfather? When will Dr. Ye come to Nancheng again?"

Bai Zhi knew that she was just repeating the same old story, only concerned about her own health and nothing else.

She said indifferently, "I don't know, he hasn't contacted me."

"When are you going home?" Unable to find out any news about Doctor Ye, Wang Shufen had no choice but to settle for second best and focus her attention on Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi rubbed her forehead, then smiled slightly, "I just came from home, so I'm afraid I won't be going back for now."

Bai Zhi's answer greatly disappointed Wang Shufen.

She pouted, her tone tinged with dissatisfaction, "Not coming back for now? Don't you miss us? I was thinking you'd come home after the New Year. What are you going to do there after you join the army? You don't have a job there, you might as well come back to Nancheng and work at Jishengtang."

"Second Aunt, I have my own plans." Bai Zhi was already very impatient when she heard this. She knew that Wang Shufen's concern for her was not genuine.

Besides, as Lu Ye's second aunt, she shouldn't interfere with her work and life; their relationship isn't that good yet.

"If there's nothing else, Auntie, I'll hang up now. I have things to do."

Hearing that Bai Zhi was about to hang up, Wang Shufen immediately stopped her, "Wait a minute, what's the rush? It's so rare to get a call with you, it's the New Year, what could you possibly be so busy with?"

She quickly added, "Well, I just wanted to ask, if you don't come back after the New Year, how will my treatment continue? After the start of spring, I'm afraid my condition will flare up again and again. I'm so afraid of the pain. Do I need to adjust my prescription?"

Exhausted, Bai Zhi switched hands to hold the mobile phone.

Just ask about the symptoms; why go through all this trouble?

If you ask directly, she will give you a more detailed answer.

After going around in circles like this, she lost all her patience.

"No need for adjustments, just continue taking your previous medication. After so much treatment, your condition has stabilized. This spring will definitely be much better than last spring. When the spring breeze blows, just make sure to keep warm and avoid contact with cold water."

Rheumatoid arthritis is like a weather forecast, especially during seasonal changes, when various joints usually react.

Especially when plants are sprouting, the disease is more likely to recur during its active phase.

But after so long of treatment, Wang Shufen's illness has long been under control.

As long as you keep warm properly and avoid prolonged exposure to spring breezes, the rash will not recur.

"Are you sure this will work if we don't change the prescription?" Because previously, the medication was adjusted once per course of treatment. Although the adjustments were not significant, some medications were added or subtracted to some extent.

Wang Shufen felt somewhat uneasy about having to continue taking the same prescription.

Last spring, before Dr. Ye began treating her, she was taking hormones. As her condition worsened, she couldn't sleep all night. If she went out during the day and got a little wind, her whole body would ache at night.

"Second sister-in-law, you've asked this question many times before, and I answered it for you before I left home. Since you've asked me to treat you, you should trust me and cooperate with me, and just take your medicine properly," Bai Zhi said. "Take the medicine according to the previous prescription for another month, and I'll adjust it for you next time."

Wang Shufen was too difficult to deal with. She noticed that Lu Shaoan and Old Master Lu's expressions had changed. Her guilty eyes darted around as she replied, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Of course I believe you. I'm just worried."

Lu Ye took the mobile phone directly from Bai Zhi's hand and said, "Second Aunt, we have something to do, so we'll hang up now."

After speaking, he pressed the close button.

Bai Zhi sighed and slumped onto the sofa.

Lu Ye also felt sorry for his wife; he was exhausted from having such a second aunt.

He sat down next to her and gently patted her shoulder to comfort her.

"It's getting dark, I'll go cook."

Bai Zhi was too lazy to move, so she nodded and said, "Okay, make some noodles."

"good."

Lu Ye went to the kitchen, and she curled up on the sofa to watch TV.

......

The couple had just finished eating, and Lu Ye was about to wash the dishes when someone knocked on the door.

"I'll go wash up, you can see who it is."

Bai Zhi took the bowl from his hand. The person knocking on the door at this moment was most likely Lu Ye's colleague or neighbor.

Seeing Lu Ye busy in the kitchen, they'll definitely laugh at him for circling around the stove.

For the sake of his image in front of others, she should wash it.

"Okay, I'll go open the door."

Bai Zhi took the bowl to the kitchen and soon heard Instructor Yang and Lu Ye talking.

Instructor Yang glanced towards the kitchen and chuckled, "Your young wife is quite virtuous."

"What brings you here? Is there something you need?" Lu Ye gestured for him to sit down.

"Can't I just drop by your place if there's nothing wrong?" Instructor Yang didn't stand on ceremony and plopped down on the sofa, looking at the large color TV that was playing the news with an envious expression. "This big color TV is so comfortable to watch. My brat watched TV at your house once, and now he can't stand watching his old black and white TV anymore."

Lu Ye sat down next to him and chimed in, "Then you should try your best to get a new color TV soon."

Upon hearing his rude remark, Instructor Yang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Then lend me some money, and I'll pay right now."

Lu Ye shrugged. "I don't have any money. I was even planning to borrow some from you."

He doesn't even have enough money for his wife's motorcycle.

Instructor Yang scoffed, "Come on, you need to borrow money from others. I'm the one who should be borrowing money."

Lu Ye solemnly presented him with evidence: "We receive the same salary, but you have a longer military service and your allowance is higher than mine."

“How much more can I earn? My whole family depends on me, and that little bit of money is simply not enough. We’re always struggling to make ends meet every month.”

Instructor Yang sighed, his weathered face filled with helplessness towards life.

He knew Lu Ye came from a wealthy family, but he couldn't understand the hardships of ordinary people like them.

Lu Ye glanced at his posture, his eyes flickered slightly, and he asked with a smile, "You're not really here to borrow money, are you?"

Instructor Yang, "!!!"

“I’m not borrowing money from you, look how scared you are.” He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. “There are ways to live with less money. How can you live on borrowed money? Even if I were willing to lend it to you, your sister-in-law wouldn’t agree. She would rather split every penny in half than be in debt.”
