17: Chapter 17: Random Thoughts_1 17: Chapter 17: Random Thoughts_1 Yang Ruxin turned around and saw a middle-aged man walking in with a black wooden box on his back, followed by a fair-skinned little girl.

She recognized her; that was Li Yi’s daughter, Li Jiaya.

She hurried to her feet, “Apologies for the trouble, Uncle Li…

and Yaya is here too…”

Li Yi glanced at Yang Dani, “You had a fall and hit your head before.

I thought you would be unconscious for at least two days, but you woke up so soon…” He found it incredible.

“I have a rough life,” Yang Ruxin tugged at the corner of her mouth, “and I have to thank Uncle Li for not fussing over the medical fee as well.”

“Yang Dani, why do you seem like a completely different person?

You don’t feel like yourself…” Li Jiaya widened her eyes in surprise.

Even when she took the initiative to talk to her in the past, Dani wouldn’t bother to respond, but today she actually…

greeted her first, and called her ‘sister’?

And she said so much?

The sun must have risen from the west.

Li Yi also looked at Yang Ruxin and indeed, he too felt that this girl…

seemed to have more spiritual energy than when he had seen her before.

“Uncle Li, Sister Jiaya, I was immature before…” Yang Ruxin smiled, “The current situation…

doesn’t allow me to continue being immature…” She sighed, “I’m not afraid of being laughed at anymore.

If we continue like this, we might not even know how we all died…

Uncle Li, my mother is frail, I have to take up the responsibility for our family…”

“You are the eldest daughter of the main family, and you should take responsibility.

Your mother…

ah…” Li Yi nodded, “she also has a hard life…” He then set down his medicine box and began to take Xun Hui’s pulse.

“Such a strong smell of alcohol…” Li Jiaya sniffed, then glanced at the bowl on the broken cabinet by the bed, went over to smell it, and then turned to look at Yang Dani, “Sister Dani, you all have been drinking?” They had just mentioned not having silver to pay for the father’s medical fee.

“Where could we possibly be drinking?” Yang Dani sighed, “This was something we managed to get with difficulty from Uncle Er…” She looked at Li Yi, “Uncle Li, I rubbed my mother’s body with alcohol, and it seems like she’s not as hot now…”

“That’s a good method…” Li Yi was pleasantly surprised, “How did you know about it?”

“That…” Yang Ruxin suddenly got stuck.

How could she answer?

She could only pull at the corner of her mouth, “I just…

randomly thought of it…”

Li Yi, however, gave a smile, thinking to himself that this girl sure had bold ideas, using such expensive alcohol to rub the body…

Yet he didn’t ask further questions.

After carefully taking the pulse, he stood up, “Your mother’s body has been severely depleted, too weak to accept nourishment, so don’t use any medicine for now.”

Yang Ruxin frowned, “What should we do then?”

“Let’s heal the external injuries first,” Li Yi said, taking out a porcelain bottle from his box, “If those wounds continue to worsen, they will become very troublesome…” He glanced at his daughter, “Yaya, help Sister Dani apply the medicine to your aunt…” After placing the porcelain bottle on the edge of the kang bed, he turned and walked out.

Although Li Yi was a doctor, Xun Hui was a woman, and a widow at that, so propriety demanded he maintain a respectful distance.

In the courtyard, Yang Peili had come out from the moment Li Yi entered and had been squatting in the corner smoking his pipe.

He needed to know how Xun Hui was.

Now seeing Li Yi come out, he quickly stood up.

“Taking a break, Uncle Peili?” Li Yi smiled at Yang Peili.

“Ah, Yi boy, how is Dani’s mom?” Yang Peili also smiled but still looked visibly worried.
