Chapter 414: 122: Business development and culture, Fuwa is the son of Li Xianxian! _6

There were several children playing with mud in the courtyard. They wanted to tease Fuwa when they saw him approaching but stopped at the sight of Ni Yang, who was walking beside him.

Children are often afraid of strangers after all.

“Sister, my dad stays here,” Fuwa pushed open the room door.

The room was dimly lit, and one could scarcely see a person lying on the bed. Fuwa swiftly got up with a stool and opened the window.

Ni Yang walked to the bedside, seemed to tug at the man’s eyelids a little, then sat down to take his pulse.

The room was dirty and messy, and it was filled with an unpleasant smell. But Ni Yang didn’t seem to mind.

Looking at Ni Yang, Fuwa’s voice trembled a bit as he asked, “Sister, can my dad still be saved?”

His father has been running a high fever since midnight yesterday and hadn’t had anything to eat or drink since.

“Your father will be fine, don’t worry,” Ni Yang’s voice was soft and gentle, carrying a calming influence like a spring breeze in April.

Feeling reassured, Fuwa asked, “Really?”

Ni Yang nodded, “Absolutely.”

The man was not severely injured. His legs were initially paralyzed from a fracture, but this condition became progressively worse due to lack of prompt treatment and eventually led to a coma.

Another reason was the environment.

Living conditions here were very poor. The bedding was moldy and the furniture was covered with dust. Such conditions were conducive to bacterial growth.

Ni Yang gave the man a pill to reduce his fever and inflammation, then said, “Fuwa, can you wait for me here? I’m going out for a while.”

“Okay,” Fuwa nodded.

About half an hour later, Ni Yang returned with a brand-new bedsheet and a bag of herbal medicine.

Five minutes later, two middle-aged women arrived as well.

The sudden arrival of strangers made Fuwa a bit nervous.

Ni Yang explained, “Don’t be scared, Fuwa. These two aunties are here to help clean up.”

The two women were diligent; after greeting Ni Yang, they began to clean.

Ni Yang then asked, “Fuwa, could you heat a bath for me?”

“Sure,” Fuwa nodded, “I’m on it!”

Helping out made Fuwa very happy.

Shortly after, Fuwa came back in and said, “Sister, your bath water is ready.”

Ni Yang removed a bag of herbal medicine and handed it to Fuwa, “Fuwa, pour this bag of herbal medicine into the bath.”

“Alright,” Fuwa took it.

After a while, two robust men came in from outside, “Is Comrade Ni Yang here?”

“I’m here,” Ni Yang, who was giving the man an injection, responded.

The two robust men walked into the room, hesitating, “Comrade Ni Yang, are we to bathe this fellow?”

Ni Yang nodded, “Yes.”

The men looked a bit uneasy.

The man on the bed was just too dirty…

No words were more apt than ‘dirty and stinky’ to describe the situation.

Ni Yang followed up, “Don’t worry, you two. I’ll pay double.”

The man was indeed very dirty, and if they didn’t give him a good bath, it would affect his recovery from the illness.

Once Ni Yang decided to lend a hand, she would follow it through to the end.

Upon hearing her words, the men immediately replied, “Comrade Ni Yang, rest assured, leave it to us!”

Double pay, only a fool would refuse such an offer.

Smiling, Ni Yang thanked them, “I appreciate your help.”

The two men lifted the man on the bed, “May I know where the bathing place is?”

“It’s over here, please follow me, uncles,” Fuwa immediately responded.

Fuwa was not stupid, he of course knew that Sister Ni Yang was helping them.

The two rugged men carried the man to take a bath while Ni Yang helped to tidy up the room.

In no time, the room was renovated. Ni Yang picked up a few magnolia flowers from outside and put them by the windowsill, filling the air with a gentle fragrance.

Ni Yang settled the pay for the two middle-aged women.

Both of them earned two yuan in total.

They only worked for two hours, considering the price level of this era, they profited quite a bit.

When the two workers finished bathing, Ni Yang also paid them one yuan each.

“Thank you, young comrade, please think of us if you need anything done in the future,” they said.

Ni Yang nodded, “Certainly.”

After bathing, the man laid on the fresh bedding, Fuwa asked: “Sister, when is my dad going to wake up?”

Ni Yang put her hand on the man’s wrist and said: “Don’t be anxious, Fuwa. Just wait a bit more.”

“Okay.” Fuwa nodded.

Ni Yang found four wooden sticks and gauze to fix the man’s legs in place.

“Sister, can my dad stand up again?”

“Yes.”

Hearing this, Fuwa excitedly asked: “Sister, really? My dad can really stand up?”

“Of course.” Ni Yang reassured him with a gentle nod.

“Thank you, sister.”

“You’re welcome.” Ni Yang patted Fuwa’s head.

“Wait a minute, sister,” Fuwa ran into the kitchen and picked out a shriveled, rotting apple from the cupboard.

He had found this apple in the trash and had kept it, planning to give it to his dad for nourishment. He hadn’t expected his dad to fall into a high fever that very afternoon…

Now that his sister had saved his father, he thought the apple should be given to her.

Fuwa tiptoed and carefully picked up the apple, peeled it with a kitchen knife, scooped out the rotten parts and then carried the apple back to the room.

Fuwa ate all the peeled apple skin without wasting any.

“Sister, this apple is for you to eat.” Fuwa looked expectantly at Ni Yang.

“Thank you.” Ni Yang accepted it and took a bite, the apple was already rotting and it did not taste very good.

But for Ni Yang, all food was equal, and she did not want to disappoint Fuwa, so she finished the whole apple.

At that moment, the man on the bed began to stir.

“Dad!” Fuwa excitedly ran over.

“Fuwa.” The man patted Fuwa’s head, then turned and looked at Ni Yang with pale face: “Thank you for saving our lives, you are like our second parents.”

Despite being faint, he was still slightly conscious and knew that Ni Yang had saved him.

“You’re welcome, it’s just what a doctor should do,” Ni Yang then asked: “How are you feeling now? Is your head still dizzy? Do your legs hurt?”

The man responded, “My head is not dizzy, but my legs seem to hurt a bit.”

Ni Yang told him: “Pain in the leg is a normal reaction, as long as you’re not dizzy then it’s okay. The facilities are limited here, so I just gave you a simple fixation. Your injury is not very severe, so you should be fine after a few days of taking medicine.”

The man choked with emotion, he didn’t know what to say. His voice husky, he said: “My benefactor, my name is Zhou Tianbao, and this is my son Zhou Fuwa. Once we get back on our feet, we will find a way to repay you.”

Zhou Tianbao?

Ni Yang slightly raised her eyebrows, if she remembered correctly, the man who fathered Li Xianxian’s illegitimate child had the same name.

Was it the same person?
