Chapter 36 First Visit to Aunt Wang's House

Seeing Wang Xi insist on her own opinion, Doctor Wang felt a mix of emotions.

Although he was in the business of healing the sick and saving lives, he never helped the poor. His master always said that although he was highly skilled in medicine, he did not have a compassionate heart. But he always felt that in this chaotic world, it was enough to take care of himself.

Treating the sick and saving lives is his job. If work isn't for money, then what's the point?

Now that I'm old, I have everything I want, and this has made me more kind-hearted.

Doctor Wang looked at Deng Yin with a gratified expression and said, "If I can really develop the formula for this medicine, I am willing to share the profits with you, young friend."

This time, he did not give Deng Yin a chance to refuse. "Young friend, there is no need to refuse. If you are unwilling to accept my money for the medicine and unwilling to share the profits with me, then even if I develop the formula, I will definitely not sell it."

Deng Yin hadn't originally intended to refuse. Although Doctor Wang's medical skills were superb, it would still take some time to develop the formula for this medicine.

Even until death, they could not figure it out.

I gave those three pills because I felt bad; my only intention was to save people, but I ended up receiving such a large sum of money.

Deng Yin laughed heartily: "Since Doctor Wang has said so, then this junior cannot refuse."

Fearing that Dr. Wang might not recognize the capsules, he even demonstrated how to pour the medicine out.

Doctor Wang looked on with curiosity; he had never seen anything so thin, like a cicada's wing, yet capable of encapsulating medicine. "What's this for?" he asked.

Even though no one had ever told Deng Yin what this thing was for, she had her own understanding of it. "Children are afraid of bitter medicine, so making it into this shape can avoid the bitter taste of the medicine."

Doctor Wang nodded, indicating that he understood.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a miraculous medicine; even its appearance is so unique, and it has even solved the problem of bitterness that has plagued people for thousands of years.

Doctor Wang carefully wrapped the remaining medicine, wrapped it in the medicine padding paper, and placed the capsules in a small, exquisite-looking box.

Whether it's a miraculous medicine or a miraculous shell, it must be preserved properly.

Although Wang Xi had woken up, her illness was progressing slowly, and her face was still deathly pale.

Upon seeing Deng Yin, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "Am I dreaming? How come I'm seeing my sister?"

Aunt Wang and Uncle Li left the bedside to make room for Deng Yin.

Deng Yin sat on the edge of the bed, gently holding Wang Xi's hand, which was covered in needle marks, and said, "You're not dreaming, your sister is really here. You need to take good care of yourself and get better. When you're better, your sister will take you out to play."

Upon hearing Deng Yin's words, Wang Xi wished she could get better right now. She tried several times, but couldn't even get up.

Wang Xi had been burning up for several hours, and it was lucky that she hadn't gone mad yet. It was also normal for her to feel pain and weakness all over her body.

Wang Xi pouted, her voice trembling with grievance. "Sister, am I not going to get better?" She couldn't hold back her tears as she said this. "You came to see me, is it because you know I'm dying?"

Unlike ordinary children who cry while speaking, Wang Xi's crying was tinged with restraint, to the point that her voice trembled, yet the last words were all spoken with an upward inflection.

It's kind of funny.

Deng Yin couldn't help but burst out laughing. "What nonsense are you thinking? It's just a fever, how could it possibly kill Xixi? Look, I was just laughing. If something happened to Xixi, would I be laughing?"

Wang Xi's face showed two lines, and she shook her head slightly with a pout.

Deng Yin continued, "My sister isn't familiar with the city, and she's counting on Xixi to take her out to play. Has Xixi saved up any pocket money? My sister is in a hurry to see Xixi but didn't bring any money. Would Xixi be willing to spend her pocket money to take her sister out to play?"

Wang Xi finally stopped crying and hummed in agreement. "Xi Xi has saved up a lot of pocket money. When Xi Xi gets better, she'll treat her older sister to go out and play!"

Deng Yin held out her hand. "Then, pinky swear with your sister."

Perhaps it was Deng Yin's words that filled Wang Xi with anticipation, as she seemed much better than before.

Seeing that Wang Xi was alright, Aunt Wang and Uncle Li said goodbye to Doctor Wang and took their two children home.

Before leaving, Doctor Wang gave the bet to Deng Yin.

Doctor Wang was indeed wealthy; he took 30,000 gold coins without hesitation. However, instead of gold coins, he gave three gold notes worth 10,000 gold coins each.

Aunt Wang's house truly lives up to its reputation as a school district property; it's large and well-decorated, even rivaling the home of Dr. Wang.

All we know is that the two of them have been farming, but how could farming make them so rich?

Since Aunt Wang didn't bring it up, Deng Yin didn't plan to ask either.

In this life, everyone has a few secrets.

Uncle Li carried Wang Xi back to her room, and Aunt Wang took Deng Yin to see her room.

From the outside, this room is no smaller than Wang Xi's room. Aunt Wang and Uncle Li live in the main room, Wang Xi's room is on the left, and Deng Yin's room is on the right.

Aunt Wang first showed Deng Yin around the room before saying, "Tell me if there's anything missing in this room, and I'll go buy it for you."

Deng Yin shook his head. "There's nothing lacking; this is much better than my home."

Seeing that Deng Yin genuinely liked the place, Aunt Wang said, "Since you like it, why don't you just stay here? Your uncle and I had wanted to bring you here for a while, but we brought some clothes with us last time. It's freezing cold now, and they're not enough to keep you warm. We just didn't expect Xi Xi to suddenly get sick, so we didn't go. Now that you're here, don't leave."

Deng Yin refused. "Forget it, Auntie. Although I really like this place, my home is the only place where I have lived with my parents. Anyway, it's not far. I'll come back when I have time."

She's currently busy taking care of Wei Wujiang; otherwise, it wouldn't be a problem for her to stay for a few days.

It's all Wei Wujiang's fault. Even though her wounds were almost healed, she still didn't complete the mission.

Seeing that Deng Yin insisted, Aunt Wang stopped trying to persuade him. "Although you have to leave, there's no rush. Today is the perfect day for Xixi to recover. I'll have your Uncle Li cook a few more dishes, so you can stay here tonight."

Deng Yin nodded with a smile. "Great! I haven't had Uncle Li's cooking in ages. Tonight I'm going to eat until I can't walk anymore!"

Aunt Wang laughed and scolded, "This child, that's all the ambition you have. If you want to eat, you might as well stay here. Why eat so much at once?"

Deng Yin put his arm around Aunt Wang's arm and said, "Things are valued for their rarity. If you eat them all the time, you'll get tired of them. Only by eating them once in a while can you remember the taste."

Aunt Wang playfully pinched Deng Yin's nose and said, "You're such a clever little thing. I'll have your uncle cook right now."

"it is good"

While Uncle Li was cooking, Deng Yin went to the restaurant closest to the clinic and packed up several of their signature dishes.

Wei Wujiang didn't give Deng Yinlai a friendly look.

This woman actually left him here and left, and she's been gone for a whole day!

Deng Yin opened the food box, revealing three layers containing five dishes. "I was held up by something today and only just had some free time. I went to a nearby restaurant and bought you some dishes; they're all quite good, so please try them."

Before Wei Wujiang could even pick up her chopsticks, Deng Yin spoke up again: "It's too late today, and it's dangerous to walk at night. I've already spoken to the doctor, so you'll stay here tonight, and he'll find you a private room."

Wei Wujiang was already so angry that she lost her appetite, and now she lost even more. She put down her chopsticks and said, "What about you?"

Deng Yin didn't notice his unhappiness, assuming he just wasn't hungry yet. "I'm going to stay at an aunt's house. They're cooking and waiting for me to come back to eat. I'll be going now."

Without even looking at Wei Wujiang's reaction, he left in a hurry, just as he had come.

Wei Wujiang remained, her face grim.
