Chapter 191: Yam Powder
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Yam powder? What kind of yam powder?” Wan Wen asked in confusion.
The little girl walked to the box near the bed, opened it, and took out something wrapped in a red plastic bag.
Wan Wen placed the things that the little girl found on the table and opened the red plastic bag. It revealed an iron can with the words “yam powder” printed on it.
The little girl tugged at the table and looked up at Ye Ling and her mother. She said softly, “Uncle brought this back. He said it’s a tonic. Grandma was reluctant to drink it at first, but Uncle said it would expire if she didn’t drink it. That’s why Grandma drinks a spoonful every morning. Grandma gave it to me before, but I thought it tasted awful, so I didn’t drink it.” 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝔀𝒆𝒃𝒏𝓸𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝙢
When Wan Wen and her husband were busy, they would send the little girl to the old lady to take care of her. That was why the little girl knew that the old lady would drink yam powder every morning.
After Wan Wen heard her daughter’s words, she opened the jar and found that there was less than half of the yam powder left.
Ye Ling took out a metal spoon from the jar. There was still some yam powder on the metal spoon.
Ye Ling sniffed and tasted the yam powder.
Normal yam powder should have a faint fragrance, and some might have a little sourness. This was normal.
However, Ye Ling could smell a fishy odor in the yam powder, and it tasted slightly bitter.
There must be something else added to the yam powder.
“What’s wrong?” Wan Wen realized that something was amiss. “Doctor Ye, is there something wrong with the yam powder?” she asked Ye Ling with a trembling voice.
Ye Ling nodded. “I guess so. Of course, just to be safe, you can find a mouse to verify it later.”
Wan Wen was too shocked. Her mouth was slightly open, and her expression was stiff. After a few seconds, she finally controlled her emotions and asked with difficulty, “Okay, I will try it later. Then, Doctor Ye, my mother’s condition…
Ye Ling did not reply to Wan Wen immediately. Instead, she frowned and pondered for a while.
Although she knew a lot about herbs, she couldn’t tell what was mixed in the yam powder. Since she didn’t know what was so unusual that the old lady suddenly fell ill, she naturally couldn’t casually determine the prescription for the patient.
However, Ye Ling guessed that the substance was probably poisonous, and the medical books in the small world recorded a few commonly used antidotes. Perhaps she could give them a try.
“The day after tomorrow, go to the pharmacy and collect the medicine for me. However, I can’t guarantee that your mother’s condition will definitely improve.” Ye Ling warned Wan Wen.
The old lady’s condition was not very good. Her internal organs had already failed. The elderly have inherently weak physiques, and even a minor fall could lead to serious consequences.
Now, with the old lady having consumed the problematic yam powder for an extended period, the poison had infiltrated her vital organs. Even if the poison was detoxified, it was uncertain whether her organs could regain normal functionality.
Upon hearing Ye Ling’s words, Wan Wen felt a mix of relief and concern.
On the positive side, Ye Ling seemed to have a solution. Previously, the barefooted doctor had declared the old lady beyond help, prompting preparations for a funeral. Yet, Ye Ling swiftly identified the cause of the old lady’s illness upon her arrival.
This suggested that Ye Ling was indeed a skilled doctor. Wan Wen was grateful she had invited Ye Ling over today.
However, there was a lingering worry. Ye Ling’s tone indicated uncertainty about the old lady’s condition. freewebn ovel.c om
Wan Wen managed to suppress her inner anxiety and forced a smile at Ye Ling. “I understand. I am very grateful that you are willing to treat my mother. But I also acknowledge that even with remarkable abilities, one cannot defy fate. If my mother is destined to leave, I will not hold you responsible.”
Wan Wen, aware of Aunt Mei’s unjust accusations against Ye Ling, wanted to assure Ye Ling that she would not blame her if her mother’s condition persisted.
“Doctor Ye, since there’s an issue with the yam powder, what about my daughter?” Wan Wen quickly inquired as Ye Ling prepared to leave.
“Your daughter didn’t consume much. She’ll be fine,” Ye Ling reassured, her expression revealing a hint of complexity.
In contemporary rural households, financial constraints meant that children were generally not selective about their food.
The yam powder was a beneficial supplement. Wan Wen’s mother gave her granddaughter the yam powder. If the yam powder wasn’t so bad, the young
girl wouldn’t have stopped drinking it after tasting it once..
