40 -40 Revenge
The child was first given a fever-reducing injection at the hospital, but it only lasted for six hours before his temperature rose again.
They were supposed to administer an anti-inflammatory injection, but the hospital informed them there was a shortage, and the supplies hadn’t arrived yet.
This left Yang Peiguo and the others extremely anxious.
The child was too young for some medications, and physical methods of reducing fever were barely effective.
As they watched the child’s condition deteriorate, the dumplings that Yang Peijun had brought were left uneaten due to their worries.
It was Yang Peiguo who instructed Yang Peijun to report back on the situation and have everyone think of a way to procure the medicine.
Upon hearing the news, the faces of those in the room changed, “What, what can we do?”
“We don’t have anyone working at the hospital.”
“Did the hospital mention when the medicine will arrive?
Waiting like this, will the child be okay?”
Yang Peijun shook his head, “They didn’t specify a time, only mentioned that it could arrive today if soon, or else tomorrow.
For now, he’ll keep getting the fever-reducing injections, but the child is too young to withstand such ordeal, we must think of a solution quickly.”

Shen Yiguang pondered and said, “I have a comrade whose father is a doctor at the town’s health clinic.
Surely, they must have some preparations for situations like this.
I’ll go with Peijun and check it out.”
“Alright, uncle won’t be polite with you, please make the trip.
Afterward, come back and join us for a meal,” Yang Dahai stood up and expressed his gratitude.
Everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, repeatedly nodding at Shen Yiguang with surprised and grateful looks, appreciating his unhesitating commitment.
Yang PeiMin hadn’t expected that Shen Yiguang would be the timely help for the Yang Family.
Watching him stand up, his posture straight and purposeful, his gaze steady, as he collected detailed information from Yang Peijun about the hospital, and took his hat to leave.
“I’ll be back soon, your hand isn’t healed yet, can you ask Yingzi for help with other things, okay?” He didn’t forget to give her a reminder before leaving.
In front of all the family members, Yang PeiMin’s face turned slightly red, and she awkwardly nodded her head.
After they left, their faces finally bore some smiles, clearly teasing Yang PeiMin.
“You all sit, I’ll go check on Xiao Niu and the others,” Yang PeiMin quickly found an excuse.
“Go ahead.” It was Yang Dahai, her reliable father, who knew his daughter was shy and nodded with a smile.
It wasn’t until after six in the evening that the group returned.
Xiao Bao came back with them, and the faces of Zhang Minghua and others weren’t relaxed but weighed down by a somber silence.
“What’s happened?
Is there anything wrong with Xiao Bao?” Yang Dahai and others were concerned, quickly asking Zhang Minghua who was ahead carrying the child.
“Nothing much, it’s stabilized.
They said we should just be attentive at home, he was given injections and doesn’t need to stay in the hospital,” Zhang Minghua spoke, her face tinted with tired blueness, her lips also dry and chapped, she still insisted on personally settling the child in his room before coming out herself.
Zhang Peimin hurriedly prepared a bowl of brown sugar water for her, seeing her like this, he felt immensely heartbroken.
Having raised several children, one might think they had fulfilled their duty, but for their parents, the responsibility shifted to the grandchildren, an endless worry until old age.
Zhang Peijun was inside recounting the sequence of events.
“Never expected that this shortage was stirred up by Huang Jianxin!” A righteous anger was evident on Yang Peijun’s face.
Hearing the name Huang Jianxin, everyone got a shock.
Was this retaliation just a day after being rejected?
This person was really petty and narrow-minded!
“It’s also a coincidence, his child also had a fever and was admitted to the hospital.
He accidentally saw grandma and the others loudly calling for the doctors to help with the child.
It just so happened that he had a relative at the hospital and deliberately spread the misinformation about the shortage of medicine, causing us to panic.
When I came back to relay the message, he sent someone over to apologize to grandma and the others, saying he could help.
His every word seemed to hope we would reconsider the matter with him and my elder sister.”
“Just as I arrived with Brother Shen, we stopped that guy from succeeding,” Yang Peijun said, full of admiration for Shen Yiguang.
“Brother Shen verbally revealed his despicable behavior.
After realizing his mistake, he hurried away.
The hospital later came and said it was an oversight and quickly administered the medicine to Xiao Bao.
We observed him throughout the afternoon and stabilized before we returned home.
It’s a pity we couldn’t catch that scoundrel; otherwise, I’d definitely have given him a tight slap.
How can someone joke about human life?”
Though Yang Peijun briefly clarified everything.
But Yang PeiMin knew that from Huang Jianxin dodging away to the hospital admitting its mistake wasn’t that simple, especially since Huang had connections; it wasn’t so easy to make him admit his wrongdoing, so she knew Shen Yiguang must have exerted much effort.
She also poured a cup of sugared water for Shen Yiguang and handed it to him, expressing her gratitude, “Thank you for your hard work!
Won’t this cause you trouble later?” Knowing Huang Jianxin was a vindictive person and also had some connections, she feared he wouldn’t drop the matter and this could involve Shen Yiguang, how could her conscience accept that?
Shen Yiguang smiled at her, his voice low and mellifluous, audible only to them, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
His firm and calm words soothed her, making her heartbeat also steady.
Yang PeiMin tucked her hair behind her ears and smiled coyly, “That’s good then.”
“Look at those lovebirds!” Yang Peijun, who hadn’t taken his eyes off his idol, jested with a joyful tone, almost whistling.
Zhang Minghua gave him a look but her eyes clearly held a smile.
Yang PeiMin almost jumped up, turning her head to glare fiercely at this loudmouth.
However, Shen Yiguang just smiled, pretending to be serious, “Third Brother Yang, don’t talk nonsense, Minmin is shy.”
Sister Peiqiong and her sister walked in and saw Shen Yiguang defending Yang PeiMin.
Surprised expressions hung on their faces, and Yang Peiyan took the opportunity to scrutinize Shen Yiguang further.
“The meals at home are ready; let’s all sit down to eat,” Uncle Yang said as he walked in.
It was, after all, a happy occasion, so Uncle Yang and Third Uncle Yang automatically brought the family meals over for everyone to enjoy a reunion meal with Grandma Yang.
People were seated at three separate tables.
Yang Peiqiong sat next to Yang PeiMin.
During a break in eating, she whispered, “Minmin, have you two settled down?”
Yang PeiMin turned her face slightly; Yang Peiqiong looked anxious, seemingly ready to stop her immediately upon her nodding.
She shook her head, “Let’s talk about this after we finish eating.” She had some appetite right now and didn’t want to listen to her cousin’s grand principles while eating.
Yang Peiqiong slightly frowned, almost imperceptibly.
