I insist

Chapter 162: Did you take your medicine today?

Listening to their discussion, Yan Yufan felt increasingly familiar with the illness they were describing.

He strode over to Song Miqiu's side, looked at Song Miqiu and Ming Taicheng, and couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, is this illness you're talking about...?"

“It’s the heart disease your father had,” Song Miqiu answered truthfully.

Ming Taicheng looked up at Yan Yufan in surprise, pointed at him, and asked in astonishment, "His father also has a heart condition?"

"Yes." Song Miqiu nodded, raised her hand to rub her brow bone, and explained slowly, "It was because of his father's heart disease, plus another person, that I realized there are many people with heart disease."

Upon hearing this, Ming Taicheng sighed helplessly, completely agreeing with Song Miqiu's words.

These days, many people suffer from heart disease. It's better for wealthy families, but a good medicinal herb is hard to come by. If you can't get one, you can exchange it for a slightly cheaper one, and the effect will be the same.

But those from poor families who get heart disease have almost no money to treat it.

When a child goes out to work, their family members are always worried and go with them to check on them. If they find out that the child is a girl with a heart condition, they might even try to sell her when she is still young so that they can make some money.

The other party was unaware that the girl had developed a heart condition. If it were discovered later, they could simply say that it was given to her when she came to the other party's family to become a wife.

This left the families of those who bought female babies with no choice but to agree.

As this happens more and more often, the families of the grooms who buy female babies to have children for their sons become very cautious. They are more wary of those who offer very low prices.

After all, they would only offer such a low price if they wanted to get rid of the person as soon as possible.

Ming Taicheng told Song Miqiu about this matter. These stories were told to him by the patients who were distributing heart pills to the trial patients.

He sympathized with these people, but he could not help them.

They can only earn money with their own hands to support their families and, more importantly, to pay for their medical treatment.

Most patients come with the mindset of certain death, after all, being able to make some contribution before they die is a great blessing for them.

After listening to what Ming Taicheng had to say, Song Miqiu fell silent.

When they arrived at that place, Song Miqiu looked around and saw that there were children there, who looked to be about five years old!

Yan Yufan overheard Ming Taicheng and Song Miqiu's conversation the whole way and learned that part of the reason Song Miqiu asked Ming Taicheng to test the medicine was because of her own marriage.

He felt a surge of emotion, realizing how kind Song Miqiu was to him.

Not only did she rescue him from that predicament and guide him forward, she also helped him save his own father.

Yan Yufan understood that Song Miqiu was not a busybody; this was her voluntary act of helping him.

Standing behind, Wu Hanshuang could clearly see the way Yan Yufan looked at Song Miqiu from her angle, and she frowned in disgust.

She turned her head to look at her younger sister, and seeing that her gaze was focused on the three of them, Wu Hanshuang led her to another place.

After all, Wu Hanshuang didn't want her sister to see such a disgusting thing.

She never expected that Yan Yufan, who looked so elegant and refined, would look at Song Miqiu with such eyes!

Song Miqiu was an old woman!

Yan Yufan accompanied Song Miqiu on patrol, spending a lot of time with the five-year-old child. She walked beside the child, bent down, and asked gently, "Did you take your medicine today?"

"Hmm!" Perhaps because of his boldness, the child was not afraid even though it was his first time seeing Song Miqiu.

His eyes were so large that it seemed one could see right through them.

"Is it bitter?"

The boy frowned instantly. Song Miqiu smiled, took out a candied fruit from her waist, and asked the boy to open his palm. She then placed the candied fruit in the boy's palm.

She was the one who provided the prescription, so naturally she knew just how bitter the medicine was.

If it were someone else, they would be fine, at least they're all grown up and have many definitions of bitterness. With the contrast of their own lives, they wouldn't think the medicine would be bitter.

"After eating candied fruit, it won't be bitter anymore."

A smile spread across the boy's face. He reached out and gently tugged at Song Miqiu's sleeve, gesturing for the other to lean forward.

Seeing this, Song Miqiu bent down and saw the boy place a kiss on her cheek.

Asking about the progress of the drug trial was the priority, so Song Miqiu didn't chat with the boy for long. She smiled and patted his head before getting up and walking to Ming Taicheng's side.

She quietly recounted her experience patrolling the patients and, after inquiring about their feelings, posed a question to Ming Taicheng: "It's normal for patients to feel drowsy after taking this medicine, but why are they having headaches?"

Song Miqiu whispered her suggestion, and at the same time noticed what was bothering Ming Taicheng, and shared her thoughts on it.

The other person suddenly understood, "I know how to do it!"

Ming Taicheng quickly placed the prescription in his hand on the table. He had kneaded the prescription repeatedly, probably because he was struggling with how to prepare it.

Because he needed to constantly monitor the patients' reactions, Ming Taicheng even put all the heart medicines from the pharmacy here, treating it like a small pharmacy.

Seeing that Song Miqiu had only been there a short time, yet had already enlightened Ming Taicheng, Wu Hanshuang felt a little unconvinced.

She arrived much earlier than Song Miqiu and was the first to offer suggestions to Ming Taicheng.

Although Wu Hanshuang also wanted to compete with Ming Taicheng in medical skills, she understood that the most important thing at the moment was to develop an important heart disease drug.

God knows how ridiculous she found it when she first learned that her initial cover story, Ming Taicheng, was going to develop this drug!

But the other party was clearly very serious, which forced Wu Hanshuang to put aside her own thoughts for the time being and quietly watch Ming Taicheng prepare the medicine before using it on living people.

Wu Hanshuang initially wanted to question the other party about why they were conducting experiments on living people.

But it was later discovered that these living people were all volunteers to be Makoto Akira's human experiments.

the other side.

Wu Hanxue glanced at her older sister, and seeing that the other woman had no interest in looking after her, she lowered her head slightly, took small steps to Song Miqiu's side, stood up and asked, "Why didn't Young Master Yu appear with you?"

Perhaps because the voice was too soft, Song Miqiu did not hear Wu Hanxue asking her at first, until Wu Hanxue repeated it twice before she realized it.

"Are you asking about Yu Huailin?" Song Miqiu withdrew her gaze, frowned, and glanced at Wu Hanxue. She had thought that Wu Hanxue's heart was with Yan Yufan, but now she realized that wasn't the case.

"He went out on business, so it's normal that he didn't come along." Song Miqiu didn't want to talk too much about Yu Huailin with Wu Hanxue, so she just gave a few perfunctory words and continued to observe Ming Taicheng preparing the medicine.
