Sent to the countryside, I turned the health center into a top-tier hospital.

The two walked into the pharmacy side by side.

At this moment, Li Fang was engrossed in checking the drug inventory and organizing the ledgers, working in an orderly manner.

"Li Fang, stop what you're doing."

Hearing the sound, Li Fang looked up, saw the two of them, immediately put down the account book in her hand, and greeted them with a smile: "What's wrong, Dr. Chen?"

Chen Ping introduced, "This is Secretary Zhang's wife, Sister-in-law Liu Mei."

"I used to work as a full-time pharmacist at a large pharmacy in the city. I have a valid pharmacist certificate and am very experienced."

"From now on, you'll be working in the pharmacy at our health center to help you with your workload."

"Sister Liu, welcome, welcome..." Li Fang hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

Chen Ping told Li Fang that Liu Mei was Zhang Jianmin's wife so that Li Fang would pay more attention to this in future collaborations.

We cannot assume that just because Liu Mei is a newcomer, we can treat her casually or assign her too much work.

"Sister-in-law, this is Li Fang from our pharmacy. Don't let her young age fool you, she's one of the older staff at the health center."

"Li Fang is responsible for the daily sorting, dispensing, verification, and inventory management of medicines."

"Although you are experienced, the types of medicines and their layout in our township pharmacies are different from those in the city. I'll have to work with Li Fang to familiarize yourself with the layout as soon as possible."

Chen Ping said.

"Li Fang, I hope you'll give me some guidance in our future collaborations, since I'm a newcomer," Liu Mei said politely, shaking Li Fang's hand.

"Sister-in-law, you're a professional! With you here to help, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief!"

"Let me show you around. Our commonly used medicines, traditional Chinese medicines, Western medicines, and topical medicines are all arranged in sections. I'll point them out to you one by one."

After speaking, Li Fang immediately led Liu Mei through the medicine shelves, introducing the placement of each medicine, the daily dispensing process, the types of medicines commonly used by villagers, and the simple rules for the health center's registration ledger.

Liu Mei herself has a solid foundation, with more than ten years of experience as a senior pharmacist, so she understands things very quickly and studies with great care.

Occasionally, they'll casually ask a couple of detailed questions, and every single one of them hits the nail on the head, making their professionalism immediately apparent.

Chen Ping stood by and watched for a moment. Seeing that the two were connecting smoothly, he was completely relieved.

With a professional like Liu Mei in charge of the pharmacy, Li Fang can now focus on fighting for custody of the child while she takes leave.

Chen Ping turned and left the pharmacy quietly, then went to the ward to check on the man who had suffered aortic bleeding that morning.

Pushing open the ward door, I immediately saw the injured person sitting against the headboard.

Compared to his pale and suffocating appearance in the morning, his complexion was much rosier now, his blood and energy had completely recovered, and he was full of energy.

The limbs were no longer cold, and the entire leg lay flat and stable, with no further signs of bleeding, swelling, or heat.

The old man sat by the bedside, and when he saw Chen Ping come in, he immediately stood up, his face beaming with gratitude.

Chen Ping stepped forward and carefully examined the wound dressing. The outer gauze was clean and dry, with no seepage or bleeding. Gently pressing around the wound, there was no obvious redness, swelling, or heat.

He then raised his hand to check the patient's pulse; the pulse was steady and strong, and the heart rate was normal.

"Dr. Chen, am I alright?" the injured man asked with a smile.

"The problem has been basically stabilized."

Chen Ping nodded. "Your vascular anastomosis was very successful. Blood flow is back and the inflammation is under control. You don't need to stay in the hospital indefinitely. If you don't want to stay, you can go home to rest this afternoon."

As soon as he finished speaking, both father and son showed joy on their faces.

Rural people can't stay idle, and they're reluctant to spend money on hospitalization, so being able to go home to recuperate is naturally the best outcome.

"But I have rules, and you must remember them."

Chen Ping looked serious and carefully instructed, "You must come back on time tomorrow morning to change the dressing. You can't delay even for a day."

"The wound is in a special location with poor blood circulation. If it gets covered, wet, or if dressing changes are delayed, it is very easy for secondary infections to occur. Once problems arise, it will be really difficult to remedy the situation."

"I'll remember! I'll definitely come! I won't be late!" The injured man nodded emphatically, his attitude sincere.

The old man also thanked him repeatedly, his tone sincere: "Dr. Chen, you are truly a great benefactor to our family! If it weren't for you today, my son would have lost his leg and his life. We will remember your kindness for the rest of our lives!"

"Just go home and rest well." Chen Ping waved his hand, said no more, and after explaining the precautions, turned and left the ward.

Back in his consultation room, he calmed down and continued seeing patients.

In the afternoon, most of the patients who came for treatment were those with common ailments in the village, such as colds and fevers, back and leg pains, and gastrointestinal discomfort. Chen Ping patiently inquired about their conditions, took their pulses, and prescribed medicines. His attitude was meticulous, calm, and methodical.

Wang Tao helped with registration, medication dispensing, and patient triage. The hospital's work proceeded smoothly and gradually stabilized.

Time passed slowly, and it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon. The sky gradually softened, and there were fewer and fewer patients in the hospital.

Just as Chen Ping was tidying up the medical records and preparing to wrap things up, a head quietly peeked out from the doorway of the consultation room.

It's Li Fang.

She peeked into the examination room and, seeing that all the patients had left, gently waved to Chen Ping with a somewhat subtle expression.

Seeing this, Chen Ping was slightly puzzled, put down his pen, got up and walked out.

"What's wrong, Li Fang?"

Li Fang looked around to make sure no one was nearby before lowering her voice and whispering, "Chen Ping, go check on Cui Ying in the backyard."

Chen Ping raised an eyebrow slightly: "What's wrong?"

"She just received a phone call, her face immediately darkened, and she took her phone and walked alone to the backyard."

Li Fang said with concern, "She looks terrible, and her eyes are filled with anxiety and anger. It's like she's suffered a great injustice. Go and check on her, just in case something happens."

Chen Ping's heart skipped a beat, and his brows furrowed immediately.

"I see."

Chen Ping nodded, and without further delay, he walked towards the backyard.

The backyard is quiet, far from the front yard's reception area, and very few people come here. Apart from the construction site in the corner of the backyard where people work, the dormitory area is rarely visited.

Chen Ping had just stepped into the backyard when he heard Cui Ying's voice.

Unlike her usual gentle and calm tone, Cui Ying's voice was noticeably louder, filled with suppressed anger and helplessness, and her tone was urgent, clearly indicating that she was arguing with someone.

He walked slowly and quietly, and could vaguely hear the voices on the other end of the phone. They were the voices of a middle-aged man and woman. Without a doubt, they must be Cui Ying's parents.

Cui Ying said angrily, "I've already said I can't be with him! Don't you all know what kind of person Ding Peng is?"

"He publicly spread rumors to ruin my reputation and maliciously caused trouble. You still want me to marry someone like that?"

The person on the other end of the phone said something, their tone was very forceful, causing Cui Ying's chest to heave violently.

She took a deep breath, her voice choked with resentment and bitterness, "Marriage is my own business; it's my life, not yours!"

"You can't force me to compromise and jump into a fire pit just because his family is rich and powerful!"

"I'm not being unreasonable! It's just that you never ask me if I'm willing; you only think about saving face, conditions, and benefits!"

Every word and sentence is filled with long-suppressed grievances and anger pushed to the extreme.
