Chapter 83: Suffering the consequences of one's own actions (Part )
Since Lin Qiang and his son arrived at the company relatively early, they were not photographed by reporters and the incident did not cause any commotion.
Yu Yuan and Ruogu went their separate ways after having breakfast at home. Yu Yuan had several jobs and it was impossible for him to be with Ruogu all the time.
It just so happened that Ji Xi had no activities recently, so after she threw Xu Xinran into the crew, she left her with an assistant and didn't ask any more questions. When Ruogu went to get treatment, it was most appropriate for Ji Xi to accompany him.
After Lin Qiang and his son were taken to their residence by Ruoyuan staff, they were still a little nervous. Lin Qiang knew that it was a bit unkind of him to kneel at the door of the company, but he had no other choice. If he didn't do this, his father would have no chance of survival.
The place where they live now is Ruoyuan’s employee dormitory. Although the house is not large, it is fully equipped with home appliances and furniture, which is enough for the father and son to live in.
Father Lin was lying on the bed, and said weakly: "Aqiang, can we stay here? Doctor Chen may not come, and we have no money... Let's go home..."
Lin Qiang didn't know how Yu Yuan would deal with them. There was nothing they could do except wait for news. He forced a smile and said, "Dad, Doctor Chen will definitely come. I trust Yu Yuan's character. What's the harm in going home? At least there is some hope if we stay."
Father Lin sighed and said in a hoarse voice: "It is me who has dragged you and your mother down... If you hadn't treated my illness, we could have built a new house and you could have married a wife..."
Although Lin Qiang was under great psychological pressure, he never showed it in front of his parents. He poured a glass of water to his father and said calmly:
"The little money we have is not enough to marry a wife. Even the men with houses in the city can't get married, let alone me. Let's not think about these things now. Let's cure your illness first, and then build a house when we have money. I will take good care of you in your old age."
Lin Qiang has an older sister at home, but she got married early and he cannot be relied on when things happen at home. He is the only one who can take care of his parents in their old age and see them to the end of their lives.
Father Lin felt sorry for his son, but he could do nothing about the hard life of the lower class people in this world. Just when the father and son were at a loss, there was a knock on the door. Lin Qiang stood up excitedly and ran to the door in two steps.
He opened the door and saw two people standing outside. His eyes were red and he said in a choked voice, "Doctor Chen...you are here? Thank you for coming..."
At this moment, Ruogu was like a fairy who saved them, father and son. Listening to the noise in the living room, Lin's father got off the bed, holding on to the wall and slowly moved out.
Ji Xi saw him rushing over to support him. Seeing his stomach that looked like it was about to explode, she was always a little frightened. Lin Qiang introduced to his father: "Dad, this is Doctor Chen. She really came to see you..."
When Father Lin heard this, his cloudy eyes burst into a strong desire to survive. He asked hopefully, "Doctor Chen, is there any hope for my disease?"
Ruogu smiled and said gently, "As long as it is an illness, there will be a treatment for it. Your illness is not difficult to treat, so you should relax."
Father Lin was very happy to hear this. "Okay, okay, I'll relax. As long as the disease can be cured, I'm willing to endure any suffering..."
Ruogu signaled to Lin Qiang to help his father lie on the bed, and then took his pulse. Ji Xi stood silently by. To be honest, a person with a long-term illness like Lin's father would have a bad smell no matter how clean he was.
Ji Xi could smell it from a distance, not to mention Ruogu. There was no trace of disgust on her face. After taking his pulse, she checked his tongue coating and asked about his urination and defecation.
After careful dialectical analysis, she explained to Lin Qiang: "Your father has ascites due to liver cirrhosis, which is a syndrome of liver and kidney yin deficiency, qi stagnation and water retention. Chinese medicine treatment requires nourishing the liver and kidneys, strengthening the spleen and promoting water, and promoting qi and relieving bloating."
After hearing what Ruogu said, Lin Qiang knew that his father's illness could be cured. He asked excitedly, "Doctor Chen, does my father need acupuncture?" Ruogu shook his head and told him the truth, "Your father's health is seriously damaged. Acupuncture is not suitable for him. I will prescribe some yin-nourishing and diuretic prescriptions, and let him take the medicine slowly to regulate his body. This treatment process is relatively long, but it is the most suitable for him. Do you think it's okay?"
Lin Qiang didn't know much about Chinese medicine. His father had been carrying medicine with him for so many years, so he was used to it. He subconsciously asked, "Are the herbs expensive? Our family lives on my little income. I'm afraid I can't afford the expensive herbs..."
His words were very sad. Ruogu frowned slightly and said calmly:
"The prescription contains Radix Adenophorae, donkey-hide gelatin, Magnolia officinalis and other medicinal materials. Don't worry, my clinic has all of them. Leave me your contact information and I will send them to you regularly..."
Ji Xi hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, Brother Yuan said that this is his fan, and he will bear all the medical expenses."
Ruogu said helplessly: "We are a family. It doesn't matter if he comes or I come."
Ji Xi thought so too, but she had to do what Brother Yuan had specifically told her to do. "Brother Yuan said that you two should stay here for now. When your father gets better, we will arrange for you to go home. We will cover the medical expenses and travel expenses, and we will also send you the subsequent medicinal materials on time. You don't have to worry about the money."
Lin Qiang only felt warm in his chest. When he was overwhelmed by life, his idol helped him. Lin Qiang was grateful and choked up, "Thank you Teacher Yu, thank you Doctor Chen..."
Lin Qiang couldn't say anything other than thank you. Ruogu added him on WeChat so he could take his father for a follow-up visit at any time.
After writing the prescription and asking someone to deliver the medicinal materials, Ruogu taught Lin Qiang the precautions for decocting the medicine. After he learned it, they watched Lin's father drink the medicine before leaving.
Although Ruogu spent some time, it was worth it for her because she saved a life.
While Father Lin gained a new life, Zhou Tong was completely banned.
She started contacting Mr. Huang since last night, but no one answered his call. Zhou Tong didn't give up and tried to contact him on WeChat again, but still no one responded.
Zhou Tong had a bad feeling that things were going to go wrong, and with no other options, she had to rush to Mr. Huang's company to block him. Mr. Huang happened to be back at the company for a meeting, and she ran into him.
Mr. Huang turned a blind eye to her and ignored her completely. Zhou Tong was so furious that she started shouting shamelessly, attracting the attention of company employees. Mr. Huang had no choice but to angrily pull her into his office.
As soon as the door was closed, he pushed her to the ground fiercely and angrily said, "Are you crazy? You can do such a shameless thing. Don't you know your own weight?"
Zhou Tong bit her lip and stood up. She raised her hand to tidy up her messy hair and said sinisterly, "Where's the second female lead that Mr. Huang promised to give me? Are you just going to deny it?"
Mr. Huang lit a cigarette, took a puff, and spit it in her face.
"Don't you know what you've done? Now you're reaping the consequences and being labeled a bad artist. If I were to use you, would I still air this show?"
Zhou Tong turned pale when she heard this, and she exclaimed:
"How is that possible? When did I become a bad artist? You are slandering me!"
