To these villagers, one yuan could buy meat.
Fu Wenwen frowned and quickly took out a yuan. "I have money, give him medicine!"
"Oh, dear! What money is this! This is a whole yuan, you spendthrift! You're wasting my son's money like this!" As soon as Lin's mother arrived at the clinic, she saw Fu Wenwen take out a yuan and rushed forward to snatch it. Fu Wenwen raised an eyebrow and pulled her hand back, Lin's mother grasping only air.
"Lin An has a fever, he needs medicine!" Fu Wenwen knew this was Lin Feng's mother and said patiently.
"I'll gather some herbs at home for him to eat! No need to waste money!" Lin's mother disagreed. "Lin Feng works so hard in the army for this money, and you spend it so carelessly, giving away a yuan so easily!"
"Lin An has a fever!" Fu Wenwen said angrily, "Do you know that a high fever can damage a child's brain! If not cooled promptly, it can be serious!"
The old doctor glanced at Fu Wenwen, surprised that she knew such things.
"It's just a fever, who hasn't had a fever? It's no big deal!" Lin's mother was dismissive. There were always children with fevers in the village every year, and not many of them had serious issues.
"Prescribe the medicine." Seeing that Lin's mother was unreasonable, Fu Wenwen ignored her and directly told the old doctor to prescribe it.
"You spendthrift, I won't allow it! Do you hear me? I said no! Just try and take the money, and I'll report you to the town!" Lin's mother frowned, her eyes wide, absolutely refusing to let Fu Wenwen spend money on medicine.
"You two can leave!" Hearing Lin's mother's words, the old doctor's face turned cold.
Fu Wenwen remembered the supplies in her space, there should be fever reducers. She immediately decided to go home, picked up Lin An, didn't even look at Lin's mother, and ran home, passing her by.
"Hey! You..." Lin's mother pointed angrily at Fu Wenwen's retreating back, cursed a few times, and seeing that Fu Wenwen had long since disappeared, she turned to the old doctor. "If my daughter-in-law dares to come again, and you dare to give her medicine, I'll report you to the town, you quack who kills people!"
The old doctor glanced at Lin's mother and remained silent.
Fu Wenwen ran home with Lin An, carefully placed him on her bed, and then used water to wipe him all over. Lin An's body temperature decreased a little.
Fu Wenwen anxiously searched her space for fever reducers. Fortunately, she found some. She quickly took them out for later use. If Lin An's temperature rose again, she would give him the medicine.
Lin's mother picked some fever-reducing herbs and came to where Fu Wenwen and Lin An lived. She found that Fu Wenwen had closed the door tightly. Lin's mother called out a few times, but there was no answer. With a dark face, she placed the herbs at the door and turned to leave.
Fu Wenwen stayed with him until midnight. Lin An's fever indeed rose again. Fu Wenwen immediately gave him the fever reducer and wiped him down again. Lin An's high fever recurred several times, and finally, as dawn approached, he stopped having a fever.
Fu Wenwen breathed a sigh of relief, her heavy eyelids no longer able to stay open. She slumped down beside Lin An and fell asleep.
After Fu Wenwen fell asleep, Lin An opened his eyes. Seeing Fu Wenwen asleep beside him, Lin An carefully reached out and touched her hair, then retracted his hand.
He watched her silently for a long, long time...
Only when Fu Wenwen seemed about to wake up did Lin An close his eyes.
When Fu Wenwen opened her eyes, it was already broad daylight. She yawned heavily, exhausted. Seeing Lin An sleeping soundly, she reached out and touched his forehead.
Hmm, his temperature was normal, no fever.
