Chapter 580: Treat You to Good Food for a Lifetime
"Wow, what’s this?" Cao Na, bored, started exploring the house and discovered it truly had a rural vibe.
"These are quails," Gong Ruini said, feeling a wave of happiness at the sight of the dense flock of quails.
"So many? Are they planning to sell quails? There’s not much meat on them, hardly enough for a bite."
Too many? Gong Ruini almost felt like saying there weren’t that many quails, "Once we have more quails, I’ll treat you to some."
"Well..." Cao Na felt a bit embarrassed, though these quails were small, it’s still meat after all.
"In the future, I’ll treat you to quail eggs."
That sounds good, Cao Na knew they weren’t worth much, and she could give a little something in return to Gong Ruini.
Of course, if they could treat her sister’s condition, the family would definitely give a big gift. "We know my sister’s illness is serious, as long as she can function normally again, that’s enough."
Every time she saw her sister in discomfort during her period, it was unbearable for her.
This isn’t a high demand, Gong Ruini thought there might be hope, but she was just thinking, "It’s okay, I think Sister Cao Li will be alright."
A girl who smiles often shouldn’t have bad luck, Gong Ruini silently prayed for Cao Li, sighing, if it weren’t for too many disappointments, how could the Cao family have just this simple request.
Cao Na was worrying about Cao Li’s situation, while lying on the spring bench receiving treatment, Cao Li felt her uterus was no longer so cold, there was a hint of warmth, though unfortunately not enough, she still felt cold.
But Cao Li was truly surprised, after seeing so many doctors and drinking so much Chinese medicine, she’d never felt warmth before, yet this time she felt a little hope.
"Not bad, there should be some hope." Zhan Jing also noticed Cao Li’s reaction, quite pleased with her surprised expression; such a beautiful and strong girl shouldn’t have to endure this.
"Yes, yes, thank you, Doctor Zhan." Cao Li felt extremely grateful that she hadn’t insisted on saving face and refused to suffer further by not seeing a doctor.
"Alright, remember to come here three times a week from now on." Zhan Jing suddenly remembered that Cao Li had work, unsure if she’d have time.
Cao Li was paying keen attention now, if there was no effect, she wouldn’t be this excited, "What’s the best method of treatment?"
"Acupuncture every alternate day; on weekends, you can visit Uncle Zhuge’s." Zhan Jing knew Zhuge Zhi’s research into gynecology wasn’t as deep as hers.
But Zhuge Zhi had seen many patients and had strong medical knowledge, and having treated Cao Li for many years, he’d better grasp her condition.
"If possible, I’d like to discuss it with Uncle Zhuge then," Zhan Jing shared her thought.
Why would Cao Li be unwilling? After seeing so many patients, although Doctor Zhuge hadn’t found an effective treatment for her condition, it didn’t mean his skills were poor, and having Doctor Zhuge monitoring things would bring extra reassurance.
"Acupuncture is used in the initial sessions; if there’s some effect, then it should be supplemented with medication." Zhan Jing stated that it’s impossible not to take medicine, "Of course, even traditional Chinese medicine can be a burden to your body..."
Cao Li couldn’t help but focus on Zhan Jing as very few doctors she’d seen spoke this frankly.
Gong Ruini was also happy for Cao Li, after all, it would be really disappointing if there was no effect.
"Do you think if Zhan Aunt can cure this condition, more patients will come in the future?" Although in the future, Shiyu Hall’s reputation would grow, right now it barely exists as a concept.
Moreover, to sustain such a big company, even starting from a small workshop requires significant investment, not to mention where the initial patients would come from.
If Zhan Jing could use her medical skills to establish a foothold in Beijing, promoting the ointment business later would be easier.
More patients coming? How did Ni Zi know that her mother might later want to support her grandfather’s brand? Zhao Xuran was startled by Gong Ruini’s words.
He knew this was often discussed among his grandparents and parents, leading him to have this thought.
See, you know my sister’s skills now, don’t you? "So in the future, if there’s any benefit, don’t forget."
Gong Ruini felt quite proud, although she didn’t know if this unintentional act would play a good role in the development of Shiyu Hall, it certainly felt delightful.
"I’ll treat you to delicious food." Such a girl is quite easy to please, "In the future, if you want to eat something nice, just ask, and I’ll take you."
Wow, really? Gong Ruini was truly amazed. She had just mentioned it, thinking that once they succeeded, they shouldn’t forget the childhood friends they knew during tough times.
She didn’t expect Zhao Xuran to say this, and it made Gong Ruini quite excited.
"Is there a time limit?" Gong Ruini was pleasantly surprised but remembered something important.
"No, really, as long as I have money," Zhao Xuran assured that this promise was long-term.
Wow, long-term, no time limit, this made Gong Ruini incredibly happy, and if she weren’t worried about scaring Zhao Xuran, she’d really want him to sign something.
"Then I must keep a close eye on you, Brother Xuran." Quite the gain, Gong Ruini thought that being good sometimes pays off, otherwise, how would you get such good returns.
Zhan Jing and Cao Li finalized the schedule for her check-ups, then looked up to see Gong Ruini chatting with Zhao Xuran, "What are you two talking about?"
"We were talking about how nice the quails looked." It wasn’t that Gong Ruini didn’t want to tell the truth, but their conversation just couldn’t be disclosed.
Although they would definitely help by introducing friends once Cao Li’s problem was solved, the difference between being passive and active was clear, and it was always better if they brought it up first.
Moreover, it would make Cao Li feel like demanding something before her condition was cured, which wasn’t in line with Gong Ruini’s idea of doing good deeds.
"Yes, your grandparents and parents are working hard." Zhan Jing found their antics upon arriving in Beijing quite exasperating.
"I know, I know, so when the time comes, there’ll be a share for you all." Raw material supply is also vital, "Once the quails start laying eggs in large quantities, we can start production."
These days, there has been no income, especially since having the idea to market study materials, the consumption of paper and pens has been exceptionally high, leading to increased expenses.
Not to mention the future costs of printing these study materials, which is no small expense, making it essential to work hard to earn money.
Additionally, they’ll need to spend more during summer, which adds considerable pressure.
