Chapter 999: Chapter 0999: Making Good Connections 8

"Comrade Lu Jiang, Comrade Qingxue, thank you, thank you for your medicine!" Although Old Li was usually slow with words, he still managed to express his gratitude, "Thank you for putting past grudges aside and asking Comrade Cui Shaoyuan to send us such valuable medicine. It arrived just in time—the doctors said our child won’t become intellectually disabled, and with continued treatment, he will recover."

Asked Cui Shaoyuan to send the medicine to them?

Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue thought to themselves that they had no idea the Li Family’s child needed medicine among the sick children.

So, it must have been Cui Shaoyuan who made the Li Family say such things.

"Comrade Li, please don’t be so formal. As my spouse has said to Comrade Cui, medicine is meant to save lives. It doesn’t matter how valuable it is; if it’s put to good use, we’re happier than anyone," Lu Jiang said.

Ye Qing, holding Feng Qingxue’s hand, said with embarrassment, "How could we not thank you? There are so many children who contract this illness and then fail to recover, and not a few of them lose their lives because of it. We took our child to the hospital—antibiotics, but there were none; Bezoar Pills, but we couldn’t buy any. We were almost in despair, fearing the child would survive but become intellectually disabled. You wouldn’t believe how smart and lively he used to be. What are these hospitals good for? They have plenty of common drugs, but life-saving medicine is nowhere to be found when it’s needed most!"

Where was the sharp and critical Ye Qing of the past now?

Which goes to show, people, when doing anything or saying anything, have a standpoint. She stood on her son’s side, her every word criticizing the Jiang Family. Had she been standing on the Jiang Family’s side back then, she would surely have criticized the Li Family for making unreasonable trouble.

Although Feng Qingxue was not about to share her heart with the Li Family, when Old Li and his wife Ye Qing came together to offer thanks, she obviously couldn’t show a displeased face in front of the two elderly revolutionaries. She smiled and said, "It’s a relief that the child is out of danger. To be honest, these past few days, I’ve been very worried about those kids, worried that the medicine wouldn’t be enough, worried that it wouldn’t work. As for the other matters, we’re not informed and don’t know how to comment."

Seeing her gentle attitude and soft voice, without holding a grudge for what had happened previously at the Jiang Family’s, Ye Qing instantly felt much relieved and her opinion of Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue improved greatly.

"We, the Lis, don’t have any great abilities. We’ve always been middle of the pack: neither high nor low with our status, our work, our everything. But we are well-received wherever we go. Should you need any assistance during your visit to the Capital, just let us know. We’ll do our utmost to help!" Ye Qing was just short of thumping her chest in assurance.

Feng Qingxue smiled and replied, "We’ve already finished what we came to do in the Capital and will be leaving in a few days. There’s really no need to trouble you and your husband. But don’t celebrate too soon—if there really comes a time when we need your help, we certainly won’t hesitate to ask."

"Is there time for a meal?" Ye Qing felt that the Li Family should show their appreciation in some way.

Even though they had brought some gifts, how could these compare to the favor of saving a life?

Feng Qingxue politely declined, "Comrade Ye, no need to be so courteous. We need to pack our things and do some shopping in preparation for going home. The children are at home under the care of the elderly. We’ve already delayed our return for too long and cannot afford to postpone it any further."

They had been safeguarding the pregnancy for ten days, and after a few more days of delay, half a month had already passed by.

With Xibao’s birthday approaching, they had to rush back no matter what.

They had promised the child to buy a cream cake, and even if they didn’t want to cause harm, they must purchase it in the Capital and bring it home. They had to keep their word, and they couldn’t let the child think that the words of elders were worthless.
