Chapter 701 Doctor Lin's Junior Sister
"You're busy with things at home, that's fine." Doctor Lin invited the two inside, poured each of them a cup of tea, and then asked, "Did you two come here today for something?"
“If it’s about your mother, then I… I really can’t do anything. I visited your mother when your family had that accident before, and I saw her illness.”
Dr. Lin pointed to the area around the heart, "It's a heart ailment."
Du Mingxian explained, "Dr. Lin, we came here today not to ask about my mother, but to ask about my younger sister."
"Well, Ling Xiaomei and my junior sister went traveling. People in different places have different illnesses, so it will be good for her to go out and see more of the world."
Du Mingxian thought of Zhao Di's matter, who was also Dr. Lin's senior brother. "Dr. Lin, there was a child from our village who was assigned to your clinic, but was taken away by your senior brother. Do you still remember that?"
“I remember. My senior brother said that the child was very talented, so he took him away. Although my senior brother and I haven’t been in contact, don’t worry. My senior brother is a very good person and will definitely teach that child well.”
Du Mingxian and Ling Silang exchanged a glance. They could both tell that Doctor Lin was telling the truth, but Doctor Lin's senior brother was indeed not a good person.
"Dr. Lin, our little sister is perfectly fine, why would she want to go traveling with your junior sister?"
Dr. Lin glanced at the two of them, a hint of difficulty in his eyes, but he still sighed and said, "Everything was fine before, but then your younger sister's ex-husband's family found out that she was studying medicine here and came to visit every few days."
"The incident caused a bad influence. It just so happened that my junior sister Youyun stayed with me for a few days. When it was time for her to leave, my little sister wanted to come out with my junior sister, saying that she also wanted to go out and see the world."
“I told her to talk to her family. I know she left because her ex-husband’s family kept causing trouble. She begged me not to tell her family, saying that they were all busy.”
"I just softened and agreed. She studied very hard and has some talent. My junior sister has always been alone, and she was willing to go, so I let her go with my junior sister."
The more Du Mingxian listened, the more worried she became. "Dr. Lin, did she contact you after she left?"
"Yes, she sends a message every time she goes somewhere, about once every two months. But... when something happens to your family, I do want to tell her the news and ask her to come back."
“But as you all know from your travels, they are away from home and their residences are not fixed. Even if I send a letter, she may not see it.”
"I...I can't contact her either."
Ling Silang was relatively calmer. "Could we see the letter that Dr. Lin's younger sister gave you?"
“Okay, she sends two letters each time, one is a letter home and the other is for me.” Dr. Lin said as he went out, and returned a moment later with the letters, handing them to Ling Silang. “Take a look, these are the letters she brought back.”
There were more than a dozen letters. Ling Silang opened one and read its contents. The whole letter was filled with joy, and every word expressed a longing for the unknown world outside.
After Ling Silang finished reading it, Du Mingxian also took a look, unsure if it was Ling Xiaomei's handwriting.
Not long after Ling Xiaomei returned home from her divorce, she came to Dr. Lin's place to learn medicine and literacy. Dr. Lin taught her all of that, so she really didn't know.
However, the familiar tone in these words is indeed that of Ling Xiaomei.
Dr. Lin found it somewhat amusing to see the two of them breathe a sigh of relief after the examination. "Were you worried about her?"
"Ah."
"Don't worry, my junior sister is a bit cold-hearted, but she's very protective of her own. Besides, your little sister is my disciple, so I'll naturally ensure her safety."
"My junior sister is quite skilled, and she's good at both medicine and poisons. If my little sister goes out with her, she can see the world and learn a lot from her. Don't worry."
Ling Silang returned all the letters to Doctor Lin. "Thank you, Doctor Lin. If you have any news about my younger sister, please let us know. We still want to get in touch with her. We hope she can know about my mother's current situation."
"Okay, okay, I'll think of a way to see if I can contact my junior sister."
"Thank you."
Dr. Lin waved his hand, "This is also my fault. If I hadn't privately promised my sister not to tell you about her ex-husband coming to see her, she wouldn't have left."
“It has nothing to do with you. This is my sister’s own choice. The contents of the letter are enough to show that she is very happy. You are a good teacher.” Du Mingxian truly hoped that Ling Xiaomei was alright.
As long as you're safe and sound, going out for a walk or sightseeing is really a great idea.
After chatting for a while longer at the clinic, Du Mingxian and Ling Silang finally left.
As Du Mingxian walked down the street, she thought about Ling Xiaomei's fate in her previous life, and then about her life in this life. She was quite happy, at least she had changed her tragic situation.
Seeing that she hadn't spoken, Ling Silang asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about my little sister. As long as Dr. Lin's junior sister is alright, it would be good for my little sister to go traveling with her. Going out and seeing more of the world will broaden her horizons."
"Since they are from the same school, Doctor Lin should be different from his senior brother. I just don't know how Doctor Lin's junior sister is doing. It always makes me worry."
"Let's see if we can get in touch with them."
"Ah."
Even if they are worried now, it's all in vain because they can't contact the person or know where they went.
Du Mingxian turned to look at Ling Silang, "You haven't been studying properly lately. I can see the way your mother looks at you; she seems to want to urge you on, but she's too embarrassed to do so."
Ling Silang knew this too, and chuckled to himself, "What my family thinks about studying is locking yourself in the door and not being idle for a single day. They consider reading all the time as studying."
“Once everything at home is back on track, we can finally rest. I'll take care of the kids, and you can study.”
Ling Silang quietly pulled her hand, "I see that my sister-in-law and mother are taking good care of An'an, and their conditions are improving. You can't take their medicine away. I think you should stay with me."
Du Mingxian rolled her eyes. "That sounds so noble, but An'an is both of our responsibility."
"I know, but didn't you notice that Mother hasn't had an attack in a long time? And even when all the children were here the other day, Mother didn't have any particularly strong reactions?"
Du Mingxian had been so busy these days that she hadn't really noticed, but now that it was brought up, she remembered, "It really is like that."
"Don't worry, all of this is for the best. Besides, An'an is easy to take care of and won't tire out Mom and my sister-in-law. I reckon they'd rather you be with me while I study than take care of the child."
Du Mingxian rolled her eyes at him disdainfully, "You're not a child anymore. Besides... even if you don't study now, you'll definitely get good grades next time you take the exam."
