Now let's talk about Ningguang.
Ningguang got home much faster tonight than usual.
She brought two boxes of food from Wanmintang to share with her mother.
To be honest, the portions at Wanmintang are really generous!
As they walked, Xiao Ningguang felt that her arms were heavy and it was a bit difficult to hold her.
So much so that her fair, full forehead was covered in beads of sweat, and her beautiful hair was also soaked with sweat.
Although she was sweating from exhaustion, Ningguang had a happy smile on her face.
My mother had always wanted to eat at Wanmintang Restaurant, but because our family wasn't well-off, she never said so.
Today I can finally fulfill my mother's wish.
····
Ningguang's home is a wooden house.
The area is not large.
There's only a simple kitchen and a bedroom.
It looked rather shabby and had been neglected for years, with some of the wood showing signs of rot.
If you smell carefully, there is a faint damp, musty smell in the air.
This is a place that even a treasure-hunting gang would shake their heads at and wouldn't bother to visit.
But for Ningguang, this place is her safe haven.
Ningguang feels at ease knowing that her gentle and kind mother is here.
"Mom, I'm back!"
"Guess what I brought back today?"
Ningguang pushed open the door as usual and spoke happily into the room.
Generally, the mother would come out of the room after hearing Ningguang's voice.
However, my mother was acting strangely today; there was no sound coming from the room.
Ningguang had a bad feeling, and she immediately ran into the room.
Immediately afterwards, she saw her mother lying on the floor, completely unconscious.
"Mom, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"
Ningguang tried to shake her mother awake, but found it was no use.
Ningguang remembered that there was an old doctor in her village, so she immediately invited him over.
The old doctor knew that Ningguang's family was not well-off, and after hearing Ningguang explain the situation, he immediately followed Ningguang to her home.
He examined Ningguang's mother for a moment, then said, "Little Ningguang, your mother fainted because she was overworked."
"I will prepare a prescription for you later. You can get the medicine according to the prescription and have your mother take it for a week."
As the old doctor spoke, he took out a pen and paper and wrote down a prescription.
"Thank you, doctor, thank you, doctor." Ningguang quickly replied, while also trying to give the doctor Mora as payment for the consultation.
However, the old doctor simply waved his hand and did not accept Ningguang's consultation fee.
“Little girl, we’re all from the same village, so let’s forget about the money.”
"Besides, everyone knows your family's life isn't easy either,"
"Besides, getting medicine for your mother will cost at least 50,000 Mora. You should save your money and try to get Mora instead."
"Her condition cannot be delayed; it will only get worse if left untreated. She must start taking her medication as soon as possible, understand?"
After giving his instructions, the old doctor sighed helplessly and left.
This sigh also expressed the helplessness and sorrow felt by Ningguang's family.
For such an impoverished family, how easy is it to come up with 50,000 mora?
Ningguang's mind went blank upon hearing these words.
My mother's illness can't be delayed any longer; she needs treatment soon.
However, it will cost 50,000 Mora...
This amount is enough to crush impoverished families like theirs.
Ningguang usually earns 1,000 Mora a day.
That's only when business is good.
Business is bad, I haven't earned a single penny.
Even if business is good every day, and you can earn a thousand moras every day,
That would require not eating or drinking for fifty days to save enough money for the medicine.
Ningguang wouldn't mind working even harder to earn more money.
But will Mother be able to wait until then?
Need to borrow money?
But who would lend it?
Who else can I borrow from?
Brother Fang Xun?
No, we've only just met him, how can I ask him for money?
What's more, it's worth 50,000 Mora.
Ningguang felt a sense of helplessness and despair.
At this moment, Ningguang's mother also woke up from her coma.
Ningguang didn't have time to think about anything else and immediately stepped forward to ask, "Mom, how are you feeling right now?"
Ningguang's mother didn't answer, but her eyes welled up with tears, and she gently shook her head: "Child, I'm sorry..."
Tears streamed silently down her mother's cheeks as she heard what the old doctor had just said.

"We can't afford to treat this disease, so we won't."
"It can be cured, it definitely can be cured." Ningguang saw her mother crying and she started crying too.
"Mom, don't cry, we'll definitely find a way!"
Ningguang wanted to comfort her mother.
She could never abandon her mother; there was no way she could.
Ningguang's mother reached out and stroked Ningguang's delicate face, wiping away her tears.
At the same time, she forced a smile: "I cried because I felt regret..."
"I didn't get to see my little Ningguang grow up."
"I'm sorry, Mom didn't take good care of you. You've suffered because of me since you were little."
"If I'm gone, bury me with your dad..."
Ningguang's mother spoke as if she were giving her final instructions.
Because she knew she didn't have much time left.
However, Ningguang interrupted her mother before she could finish speaking.
"I'm not helping you, and don't even think about leaving me!"
"There's a way, there definitely will be a way!"
As Ningguang spoke, she got up to get the food Fang Xun had given her.
"Mom, don't rush, let's eat first."
"I need to eat too, so I'll have the energy to go out and figure out how to make money later!"
Ningguang was also determined to cure her mother's illness.
If there's not enough time, then work day and night.
There will definitely be enough time!
Seeing Ningguang's stubbornness, her mother had no choice but to sigh.
She knew her daughter's personality; once she made up her mind to do something, she would never compromise easily.
Very well, let my daughter go.
Ningguang is still young, and many things are not as simple as she imagines...
At this moment, Ningguang's mother saw the packaging of Wanmintang and was first stunned, then surprised.
"Girl, is this food from Wanmintang?"
Why did you buy such expensive food?
Ningguang also spoke up to explain, "I met a big brother named Fang Xun today, and he's been really, really nice to me."
"These two meals were also part of a deal he made with me."
Ningguang opened the packaging as she spoke.
Then she saw a heavy bag.
Open it up, and inside is Mora!
Ningguang counted them quickly, and it was exactly 50,000 Mora!
