Reborn before the famine, kicking away the scumbag's family and living a carefree life.

"Girl, do you know who we are?"

Su Jinru shook her head.

Unsure of the woman's age, she asked, "Grandma, what's your surname? How should I address you?"

"My surname is Qiu, and my husband's surname is Lin. We are from xx, so we were sent down here."

As she spoke, she kept her eyes on Su Jinru to see her reaction.

Su Jinru, however, remained calm.

Su Jinru pointed to the person lying motionless on the bed and said, "Old Qiu, is your husband sick?"

Old Qiu nodded.

"He has a fever, a really high one."

"Girl, could you buy me some fever-reducing medicine? My husband, Lao Lin, has had a high fever for two days and is now in a coma..."

As Old Qiu spoke, his voice choked with emotion, and he could no longer speak.

She hurriedly pulled five yuan from her pocket.

"I have five yuan here, please help me buy some medicine, I beg you, my old man... is on the verge of death..."

She tried her best to suppress her emotions, which were on the verge of collapse.

Su Jinru was also affected by her emotions, and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

She pushed the old woman's hand back.

“I have money on me, I’ll go and get you a doctor.”

“I went to the health center to ask them, but they don’t want to come to see people like us for fear of getting involved. I asked them to sell me some medicine, but they wouldn’t sell it to me. So, I’m already extremely grateful that you can help me buy some medicine.”

Su Jinru said, "We need to see a doctor to determine the cause of the fever before we can prescribe any medication."

"His high fever is caused by an infected wound. If possible, just buy some more anti-inflammatory medicine."

"Can I see his wound?"

Grandma Qiu lifted a corner of the blanket, revealing a gaunt old man with a fist-sized wound on his calf that was festering and oozing pus.

Su Jinru was shocked by what she saw.

She gently laid the blanket down.

"How did you get this wound?"

Grandma Qiu said with tears in her eyes, "I was beaten."

Su Jinru felt heavy-hearted.

In her past life, she, like other people who were unaware of the truth, kept her distance from such people, so she had never met or understood this elderly couple.

I only heard that an elderly couple came to the village, but soon after, they both passed away, and the villagers took it upon themselves to bury them.

Two years later, someone came looking for them, saying they wanted to take them back. By then, the grass on the couple's graves was already very tall.

Su Jinru: "Old Lin's wound is very serious. If we don't let a doctor treat it, it probably won't heal. Reducing the fever is just treating the symptoms, not the root cause."

Old Qiu said to Su Jinru with hope, "If you can get a doctor to come, that would be the best. If not, buy some medicine to save her life for now."

Su Jinru nodded.

"Okay! I'll give it a try."

Grandma Qiu gratefully stuffed the five yuan in her hand into Su Jinru's pocket.

To appease her, Su Jinru had no choice but to accept the money.

Su Jinru rushed to the township government health center.

Dr. Tang is seeing a patient, and there are two other people in line.

As a technical advisor, Su Jinru is naturally known to everyone in Daben Township.

Upon seeing Su Jinru, Dr. Tang greeted her.

"Su Jinru, are you here for a medical checkup too?"

Su Jinru replied with a smile, "Yes, Dr. Tang."

"Please wait a moment. I'll see you after I've seen these two patients."

"It's okay, just show them, it's first come, first served! I'll wait in line."

One patient said, "You look radiant; you don't seem like a sick person at all."

"I'll get some medicine for my family."

"Su Jinru, I heard you're married to a soldier?"

"Yes!"

Everyone was very interested in Su Jinru's story, so they started chatting about it, asking and answering questions.

Two more people came to see the doctor, and Su Jinru told them to go first, saying that she was in good health and was just there to get some medicine for her family, so there was no rush and they could wait.

Dr. Tang felt a little bad and said it was alright, he could prescribe medicine for her first.

Su Jinru persisted.

"It's alright, let's show them first."

It wasn't until everyone had finished reading and it got dark that only Su Jinru and Dr. Tang remained in the health center.

Dr. Tang asked, "Su Jinru, what kind of medicine would you like to have prescribed?"

Su Jinru leaned closer to Dr. Tang and whispered, "Dr. Tang, I would like to ask you to help me see a patient at home. The patient is very ill and cannot come."

"Who?"

"It's Old Lin, the husband of Granny Qiu from the village entrance."

Dr. Tang waved his hand.

"That's xxx, it's not convenient for me to go and treat him."

"Old Lin is already in a coma with a high fever. His life is in danger. Dr. Tang, please save these two poor old people!"

“Su Jinru, to be honest, I also want to save her, but I’m afraid of causing trouble. I’m not single; I have a wife, children, and parents. I can’t drag them down with me!”

"Dr. Tang, if anything happens, I'll take it all on myself. It has nothing to do with you, okay?"

"How could it be unrelated? I went, and I can't explain it clearly."

"But saving lives is a doctor's sacred duty!"

“Su Jinru, I know you’re brave and daring to do anything. During the famine, you dared to plant grains in your own yard to conduct experiments, develop new products, and save many people. Now you’re going to save that old man at all costs. That’s because you have a soldier to back you up, and you’re about to join the army. You’re not afraid of the gossip in the village. But me, if people find out that I’m associating with someone like that, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to work as a doctor anymore.”

Su Jinru thought of Jin Gui.

Indeed, Dr. Tang's words make sense.

She cannot force someone to do something they cannot do.

"Alright then! Just prescribe some medicine for me, is that alright?"

"Yes, but you must fill in your name on the form."

"I'm getting the prescription filled out in my own name, Dr. Tang. Don't worry, if anyone finds out I bought medicine for the two elderly people, I'll just say you were unaware of it and it has nothing to do with you."

"Alright! Since you've said so, I'll prescribe it for you. What kind of medicine do you want?"

"One bottle each of antipyretics, anti-inflammatory drugs, alcohol, and painkillers; a large bag each of cotton balls and gauze; make plenty."

"You ordered too much; that's against the rules."

"I'll order more at once, otherwise I'll have to trouble you again and put you in a difficult position."

After listening to Su Jinru, Dr. Tang prescribed a large amount of medicine as Su Jinru had suggested.

“Su Jinru, I only dared to prescribe so much medicine for you because you saved so many people during the famine.”

"Thank you for your trust, Dr. Tang."

Su Jinru got the medicine and left the health center; it was already completely dark by then.

After thinking for a moment, Su Jinru decided to go home first to get a lantern and a new towel from her spatial storage before going to Granny Qiu's house again.

From afar, she could see that the house where Grandma Qiu and the others lived was completely dark.
