Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

On the way back, Jia Zhang was hungry and stole a child's steamed bun.

As a result, he was treated as a beggar by that family and was beaten up.

Although Jia Zhang escaped, she suffered some serious injuries from walking back.

Now I'm back home feeling deflated and aching all over.

Jia Dongxu was worried about his mother, so he waited until Jia Zhang finished her meal and then he and Qin Huairu took Jia Zhang to the hospital.

As for Xiaodang, he was first sent to live with an aunt.

She was too lazy to even visit her granddaughter.

Her idea of ​​favoring boys over girls is deeply rooted.

Jia Dongxu called a rickshaw to take Jia Zhang to the hospital.

After the examination, the doctor said that the problem was not serious, but was caused by long-term malnutrition and physical injuries.

Just take care of it for a while.

But Jia Zhang kept complaining that her whole body ached.

Jia Dongxu had no choice but to seek help from a doctor.

"In your mother's condition, she only needs to go home and lie down for a few days. She really doesn't need to take medicine."

"How about you give her some painkillers, doctor? How can we sleep at night if she keeps yelling like this?"

The doctor looked at Jia Zhang's pig-like wailing and could only say helplessly:

"Then I'll prescribe you a bottle of painkillers, but remember you can only take one tablet a day. If you take too much of this medicine, you'll become addicted. If you can bear the pain, try not to take it."

Jia Dongxu didn't care too much. He thanked the doctor and went to get the medicine.

As soon as she got the medicine, Jia Zhang couldn't wait to take out a tablet and swallow it.

The medicine took effect after a while.

Jia Zhang only felt the pain all over her body gradually disappear.

And there was also an inexplicable sense of relief welling up from deep within my heart.

She kind of liked that feeling.

It was like going back to the time when I was young and dating Lao Jia.

That was her lost youth.

Jia Zhang felt comfortable and then started to clamor to go home.

The doctor at the side gave another instruction out of responsibility.

"Remember, you can only take one pill a day. Taking more than that can easily lead to addiction."

Jia Dongxu didn't understand the principle of this painkiller.

In his opinion, it is not a big problem as long as the black plaster is not pulled out.

This medicine is quite expensive.

A bottle costs three dollars and contains only twenty pills.

The three returned to the yard.

As soon as Jia Zhang returned home, she lay in bed on the pretext of recuperating from illness.

Qin Huairu reluctantly picked up the clothes that Jia Zhang had taken off and went to the sink to wash them.

Jia Dongxu went to tell Yi Zhonghai about his mother's situation and took Xiaodang back with him.

Lying in bed for the first time in a long time, Jia Zhang couldn't help but stretch and prepare for a nap.

But I also felt some discomfort in my waist.

It must be that the effect of the painkillers has started to wear off.

Thinking about the wonderful feeling I had when taking the medicine just now.

Jia Zhang didn't care about the doctor's instructions.

Take out a pill and put it in your mouth.

After a while, that familiar feeling of comfort came over me again.

But this feeling only lasted for a short while and then disappeared.

Jia Zhang suddenly felt a little bored. It would be great if the feeling just now could last forever.

Jia Zhang couldn't help but sigh that this medicine was really a good thing, but it was a little too expensive.

A bottle costs three dollars.

The price immediately discouraged her from taking another pill.

It was the first time that Jia Zhang knew that painkillers could have this effect.

For her, it was like opening the door to a new world.

She is now thinking about how to get more of this stuff.

The doctor just said that this is a prescription drug.

Without a doctor’s signature, patients are not allowed to buy the medicine.

The fact that Jia Zhang returned home caused a lot of laughter in the courtyard.

Everyone remembers that before this guy left the courtyard, he boasted a lot that he was going back to the countryside to enjoy himself.

Now you've been slapped in the face.

After Jia Zhang came back, she felt ashamed and basically just stayed in the room and slept.

Her injuries were almost healed in three or four days.

But she still couldn't help wanting to take that painkiller.

As a result, I couldn't control myself when I started eating this.

She took three tablets a day instead of one tablet a day.

There wasn't much medicine in the bottle to begin with, so she finished it in no time.

"Dongxu, I've finished taking the painkillers the doctor prescribed for me. Can you prescribe another bottle for me?"

Jia Zhang, who was already somewhat addicted, had no choice but to ask Jia Dongxu to help her get medicine.

"No way, mom! I remember the doctor said to take one pill a day. How come you finished it so quickly?"

"I just felt uncomfortable. Isn't this painkiller meant for when you feel pain?"

At first glance, this seems to be correct.

"But mom, aren't you taking too much medicine?"

Jia Dongxu was a little worried about Jia Zhang's health and also felt a little sorry for the money.

A bottle of painkillers costing three dollars was finished in just one week.

If I keep eating this, my wallet won't be able to afford it.

Jia Zhang refused to accept it. She was in such pain but her son refused to give her medicine.

This is simply unfilial.

There is no other way, let’s summon Lao Jia.

Jia Zhang rarely used this trick against her own people.

Therefore, Jia Dongxu's resistance to this move is almost zero.

In the end, he gave in and took out money to ask Qin Huairu to help buy medicine.

Qin Huairu took the money and went to the hospital to buy medicine, but was told that the painkillers were prescription drugs and could not be sold without a doctor's signature.

But after asking the doctor, the doctor was shocked.

You finish a month's supply in less than a week.

Jia Zhang is showing signs of being addicted!

Then he explained to Qin Huairu the seriousness of the medicine.

And asked Qin Huairu to stop taking the medicine for the patient after she returned.

It will be troublesome if you really get addicted in the future.

Qin Huairu also panicked after hearing this, and told Jia Dongxu about the situation when she got home.

Jia Dongxu was shocked when he heard this.

So I decided to stop taking this medicine before the condition gets serious.

But Jia Zhang refused to listen.

He kept calling the doctor a quack who refused to make money.

Jia Zhang cursed at home for two days but Jia Dongxu refused to buy her medicine.

She simply took the empty medicine bottles and went to nearby clinics one by one to ask.

What's more, she actually found a clinic that sold this painkiller.

Jia Zhang made an excuse that she couldn't sleep at night because of her injury and wanted to buy a few bottles of painkillers to help her fall asleep.

That doctor is also a brave man.

Know what this medicine is like.

I also know why some people come to buy medicine.

But as long as I can make money, it doesn’t matter.

But when she heard the doctor's price, Jia Zhang jumped up and cursed:

"What! You want to charge me five dollars for a bottle! You are robbing me! I only need three dollars to go to the hospital, and you dare to sell it for five dollars!"

"Then you don't have to buy it. I'm not forcing you."

The doctor gave Jia Zhang a cold look.

Can a hospital be the same as my small clinic?

You have to make money, right?

"Then...then doctor, can you sell it to me at a low price?"

Jia Zhang was helpless. She looked in several clinics and only this one sold it.

"The price is five dollars. No bargaining. If you want it, pay it. Don't turn left when you go out. Don't disturb me while I'm seeing the doctor."

Jia Zhang hesitated for a while and finally took out twenty yuan and handed it over, saying:

"Then give me four bottles first."

"Four bottles! Think of that as a meal! I can only give you two bottles at most!"

The doctor was afraid that Jia Zhang might have problems after taking the medicine, so he was only willing to sell her two bottles.

"Two bottles is enough. I'll give you the money, but give me the medicine quickly."

Jia Zhang didn't care about anything else and just counted out ten dollars and handed it over, then snatched the two bottles of medicine from the doctor, opened one bottle, took out a pill and threw it into her mouth.

After a while, a satisfied expression appeared on her face, which made the doctor next to her almost vomit.
