Chapter 13 - 13: Find a Doctor_1
Yang Sanni hurriedly bent down, picked up the Copper Coins, and held them close to her chest.
In the face of life and death, dignity and the like were no longer important
"You go ask the Doctor... I'll take care of Mother..." Yang Ruxin glanced at Sanni, "Be quick and come back soon..."
Yang Sanni nodded and ran out the door, as if afraid that running any slower would cause the copper coins to be taken back.
There was no doctor in Dapu East Village; common ailments were typically dealt with by visiting Doctor Li in Xiaobudong Village. Luckily, the two villages were adjacent, with only a small Xiaocang River separating them. Three stone bridges connected the two, and to reach the western Xiaocang Mountain, residents of Dapu East Village had to pass through Xiaobudong Village. Conversely, those in Xiaobudong Village had to pass through Dapu East Village to get to the town or county city. Thus, travel between the two was quite frequent and convenient.
In fact, when people from other villages talked about this place, they usually just referred to it as Budong Village, without distinguishing between the "big" or "small."
Li Yi had just finished treating Yang Dani that morning and had just returned home to have lunch when he saw Yang Sanni rush in, causing him to frown: "Sanni, is your older sister not well? That shouldn't be..."
"Uncle Li..." Yang Sanni shook her head, "My big sister is fine; she woke up earlier. It's... it's my mother... she has a fever..."
"My goodness, was it caused by your grandma's beating? That old woman Yang is courting death..." Li Yi's wife, Li Lengshi, couldn't help but sigh, "Is she trying to create a fatal situation?"
"Auntie, I know you care for us, but please don't talk about it. If Grandma finds out..." Sanni gave a bitter smile.
"It's hard for you, girl." Li Lengshi sighed. "Don't worry; your auntie understands."
