Time Travel: Volume 1! Starting from a Small Mountain Village

"What does it mean?"

"It means the patient seems to have given up on herself. It's a psychological issue, and there's nothing I can do about it unless I can find the motivation for her to live."

Yang Qianqian shook her head. Knowledge comes in stages, and everyone has their own area of ​​expertise. She could treat physical ailments, but she truly couldn't help with Chen Yulan's emotional distress. Therefore, she said, "I'll get her some medicine first, and you can try to get her to take it."

Back home, Hu Lili immediately pressed Long Lifan for answers, and Long Lifan casually recounted Yang Zhiqing's diagnosis. Hu Lili was stunned; she was astonished. Could there really be someone in this world who didn't want to live?

After chatting for a few more minutes, they went back to sleep. Lying in bed, Long Lifan carefully considered what she had just heard and seen.

Chen Yulan's two husbands both died in accidents, and she returned to her parents' home with the reputation of being a jinx to her husbands. However, her mother was caught in a dilemma because of her illness, and her brother and sisters-in-law were even arguing about getting a divorce.

Previously, although she carried the burden of her reputation, at least she had her maternal family to rely on. But now, her own family is in turmoil. That's why Chen Yulan said: This is all her fate. She wondered if she could be freed if she died like this.

This is the crux of the matter. Long Lifan had some knowledge of psychology in her previous life, so it's not hard to explain why Chen Yulan had such thoughts.

The next day, when they arrived at the chicken farm, Long Lifan kept yawning. She had thought a lot the night before, which caused her to have insomnia again. Seeing her like this, Lin Xiuxiu and Lin Yue, who were standing nearby, both advised her to go back and rest.

Now, the two of them are doing as Long Zhiqing instructed, and the chicks are not only thriving, but they are also growing incredibly fast. In just half a month, the chicks have more than doubled in size.

The two cherished the opportunity given to them by Long Zhiqing, so they were extra serious and meticulous in their work, cleaning the chicken coop cleaner than many people's homes.

Now, the two of them are handling the affairs at the chicken farm quite well, so it won't make a difference if Long Zhiqing stays a little less.

"No need," Long Lifan waved her hand; she was waiting for someone. A short while later, Qi Shishen reappeared, and Long Lifan asked, "How is Sister Chen?"

"He's awake, but he just lies there blankly in bed, neither eating nor drinking."

Qi Shishen was also a little anxious. Now her family members were trying to persuade her, but she seemed to have lost her soul. Although her eyes were open, she just stared blankly at the roof beam, and she wouldn't respond to anyone who tried to talk to her.

"Sigh, Sister Chen feels that life is too tiring, and she is filled with despair and wants to end it all." Long Lifan sighed softly. It is said that one should not advise others to be kind if one has not experienced their suffering. It is difficult for outsiders to understand Sister Chen's despair without personally experiencing her plight.

Long Lifan's eyes darted around before she said, "I do have a method I can try, but I need your cooperation."

"Ok?"

Qi Shishen was taken aback for a moment, but when he met her eyes, he saw an invisible charm in her bright and deep gaze, which was irresistible. He then nodded.

"I'll go there later. No matter what I say or do, you can't let anyone disturb me." Long Lifan knew that if she wanted Chen Yulan to have hope for life again, she had to provoke her severely.

Today, Long Lifan is destined to play the bad guy.

Upon arriving at the Qi family home, Qi Fangfang and the Lin siblings were by the bedside. Lin Jie was holding a small bowl containing some sorghum porridge. However, no matter how much they tried to persuade her, Chen Yulan refused to eat.

"Sister Long!"

Qi Fangfang saw Long Lifan behind her brother and hurriedly greeted her. Long Lifan ignored her and went straight to the bedside. Looking at the gaunt face, she felt a pang of sadness.

Chen Yulan wasn't old, only in her early thirties, but the long-term poverty and the constant pressure from public opinion weighed heavily on her thin shoulders. At this moment, her face was as pale as paper, her lips dry and purple, and she looked extremely emaciated. Her eyes were sunken and lifeless as she stared blankly at the roof beam.

Even when Long Lifan walked right up to her, her gaze didn't waver for a second.

"She's awake!" Long Lifan called out tentatively, but it was to no avail; Chen Yulan remained unchanged.

Seeing that Chen Yulan did not react, Long Lifan coughed a few times and continued, "You may not know who I am, but I paid for the medicine you took yesterday. You should give me the money back."

"What, you're not trying to renege on your debt, are you!" Seeing that she remained unmoved, Long Lifan raised her voice, her tone turning colder. There was even a hint of contempt in her words.

Sure enough, after hearing what she said, Chen Yulan started to move her hands. She rummaged through her clothes for a long time, and finally pulled out 2 mao (0.2 yuan) from somewhere and handed it over shakily.

"That's it?"

Long Lifan's contemptuous tone intensified as she took the two cents and gently shook it in her hand, but it made no sound. The two cents were so crumpled that the words on them were barely legible; it would be a wonder if it could make a sound.

"It's my bad luck!"

Long Lifan casually tossed the money over again, muttering, "I've helped someone as poor and selfish as you."

Qi Fangfang was stunned. Was this really the Sister Long she knew? Long Lifan's current behavior was completely different from her usual image. At this moment, she questioned her existence.

Lin Jie, who was standing nearby, was naturally unhappy to see someone insulting his mother, and immediately prepared to stop it.

However, before the two of them could make a move, Qi Shishen pulled them back. He remembered Long Zhiqing's words: no one should be allowed to disturb her.

Hearing the person in front of her describe her this way, Chen Yulan's eyes widened, her sunken eyes filled with anger, like a pair of burning flames, and her expression turned gloomy. Calling her poor was one thing, but calling her selfish was something Chen Yulan would never admit.

Seeing the change in Chen Yulan, Long Lifan thought to herself that this was indeed working, so she decided to continue to provoke her and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Am I wrong?"

"You think you're burdened by the reputation of being a jinx and that life is tiring. But have you thought about Lin Jie and the others? He lost his father at a young age. If you were to pass away as well, wouldn't he also be burdened with the reputation of being a jinx?"

"You're trying to make them bear all the burdens you've been carrying. Do you think they can handle it? Isn't that selfish?"

"Waaah...waaah..." Hearing Long Lifan's rebuke, Chen Yulan was overwhelmed with shame and burst into tears. Her cries were heart-wrenching, as if trying to awaken her dormant soul and let everyone feel the pain deep within her heart.

When Lin Jie and Lin Mei saw their mother crying, they rushed to her bedside and cried along with her.

Chen Yulan stroked her son's head and said, "Son, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have thought like that. I'll bear these things alone."

"If we have to blame someone, we can only blame our bad luck."
