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

"Mom, do you know Old Hong? Can you help Ye Qingyun's father get into line?"

Su Jinru said with a smile, "Of course I know Old Master Hong. We visited him on the third day after we returned to Beijing. We visit him every time we return to Beijing. He would be angry if he knew we didn't visit him after we came back."

"So, you two have a pretty good relationship. Could you ask me if you could let Ye Qingyun's father cut in line?"

"Let me make a call and ask! After all, Old Hong is over eighty years old, and he only sees ten people a day because he doesn't want to expend more energy. Cutting in line means adding one more person to the list of ten patients."

After inquiring about Ye Qingyun's father's situation, Su Jinru called Hong Lao's son.

Su Jinru regularly supplies Hong Lao with precious medicinal herbs every month, and she contacts Hong Lao's son directly.

Su Jinru dialed the phone number of Old Hong's son.

"Aru, have you received the medicinal herbs again?"

"No, didn't I just give it to you two weeks ago? You've already used it up?"

“We have enough stock, it’s just that other companies in the same industry come to us to ask for more when they run out.”

"Aru, now that you've moved to the capital, are you still able to source medicinal herbs?"

"No problem, we will continue to supply the same amount as before, and we will guarantee the quality and quantity."

"That's good. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to get any medicinal herbs after you moved here."

"Don't worry, you'll get your share of the medicinal herbs every month."

"Brother Hong, I'm calling you today because I want to ask you for a favor."

“Aru, just tell me what you need, don’t ask for anything.”

“My son has a colleague’s father who has one kidney that is seriously damaged. The hospital said he only has two months to live. I’m asking Mr. Hong if he can skip the line and get him checked out.”

"I'll have to ask my dad about that. Please wait a moment."

While waiting for the phone call.

An Ran asked in confusion, "Mom, you're helping Old Hong collect herbs? I didn't know that was a thing."

"It was just a matter of helping to make connections, nothing important, so I didn't tell you."

Hong replied shortly after.

“Aru, my dad said that the person you introduce can come anytime.”

"Really? Then we'll come over between 2 and 4 pm today."

"Okay, okay, I'll tell my dad."

After hanging up the phone, Su Jinru said to her son, "Did you hear that? Anran, tell them to go see a doctor between 2 pm and 4 pm this afternoon."

"Mom, I don't even know where Old Hong lives, and he doesn't know me either, so you'll have to come with me."

"Okay, okay, no problem."

An Ran thought about it for a moment.

“I think Ye Qingyun’s father might not be able to take the bus, so I need to borrow a car to take him there.”

"You can drive, right? Call Dad and ask him to get you a car so you can drive them there!"

When Anran was on Qiongzhou Island, he learned to drive. Later, when he joined the army, he even drove for his superiors because he knew how to drive. Later, when he went to a research institute, he was given the opportunity to drive when the institute offered him a driving job. So Anran is very skilled at driving.

Su Jinru also learned to drive when she was on Qiongzhou Island, but she has never driven independently.

Su Jinru called Yuan Wenjie and told him about An Ran's colleague, asking to borrow his car to take her to the doctor. Yuan Wenjie told An Ran to go to the military region to get the car.

Anran rode her bicycle there.

At 1:30 p.m., An Ran drove a military jeep and took Su Jinru to Peking University.

We arrived at Ye Qingyun's house.

He knocked on the door, and Ye Qingyun opened it.

"Ye Qingyun, let's take Uncle to see a doctor now. I drove here, it'll be more convenient that way."

Su Jinru did not get out of the car; she remained seated inside.

She saw her tall, strong son carrying a gray-haired person out of the car, and she quickly got out of the car.

She opened the back door.

"Quick, put it in the back."

Ye Qingyun's mother followed them out carrying a blanket.

Su Jinru: "Sister, sit down and let him lean on you. Ye Qingyun, go to the other side and support your father."

Ye Qingyun and his family of three sat in the back, while Su Jinru sat in the passenger seat, and An Ran started the car.

Su Jinru introduced, "I am Anran's mother. Old Hong is my husband's friend. Don't worry! Old Hong has cured many people."

Professor Ye said, "I don't expect to be cured. I just hope to live for another year or two, or suffer less before I die."

"Professor Ye, don't be so pessimistic. Maybe it really can be cured! Old Hong only sees ten people a day to ensure the quality of medical care."

"Old Hong? Could it be the legendary Old Hong?"

"Have you heard of Elder Hong's name?"

"I had long heard of a Chinese medicine doctor who was exceptionally skilled at treating patients. Everyone respectfully called him Old Hong. I heard that he could bring people back from the brink of death with his miraculous healing skills. However, ordinary people simply couldn't get him to come to their aid."

"It's not that ordinary people can't get him to come, but that there are too many people seeking his medical care. If there were a waiting list, it would probably be months. He's afraid of delaying people's treatment, so he doesn't see patients publicly. Only acquaintances know about him. Even so, it would still be a month's wait."

Ye Qingyun: "So, your family has a very good relationship with Elder Hong, which is why you were able to treat our illness so quickly?"

"Yes! Old Master Hong and Anran's grandparents are old friends, and the two families have had a good relationship for many years. So when we asked, he made an exception and squeezed in a visit. We agreed to go between 2 pm and 4 pm today."

"Thank you so much."

"Don't mention it. The two kids are colleagues, so I should help them out."

"I am confident that I can invite a renowned doctor like Dr. Hong."

"It's good that you think this way; when you're seeking medical treatment, you have to have faith in your doctor."

The car arrived at Mr. Hong's house in no time.

From the outside, the entrance appeared quiet and peaceful; it was just an ordinary family's home. There was none of the crowd of patients and their families that one might have imagined.

Su Jinru explained.

"Old Hong sees ten patients a day, five in the morning and five in the afternoon. The morning session is from nine to eleven o'clock, and the afternoon session is from two to four o'clock."

After I rang the doorbell, a woman came out.

Upon seeing Su Jinru, she smiled and said, "Sister Ru, Old Master Hong is already waiting for you inside. Please come in."

An Ran carried Professor Ye on her back and walked inside.

Professor Ye said somewhat apologetically, "I can walk in; it's a short distance, I can manage."

Su Jinru: "It's alright. An Ran is young and has the physique of a soldier, so let him carry him in!"

The four patients were already waiting in the living room on the first floor of Mr. Hong's house.

Old Master Hong is seeing a patient in his consultation room.

The woman pointed to a soft sofa.

"Please sit here and wait a moment. After Dr. Hong finishes examining this patient, he will examine you."
