Woman 30: I regained my life after divorce

Chapter 1048: Expensive Heartache

When she arrived at the door of the pharmacy, Zhou Xinyao found that it was a small clinic. A male doctor was lying lazily in a rocking chair with his eyes closed.

This scene reminded her of the barefoot doctor in the village, that greasy and wretched old man.

But her memory was so vague that she couldn't even remember what the clinic looked like.

After hesitating for a while, Zhou Xinyao decided not to go in.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, the middle-aged male doctor lying in the rocking chair opened his eyes.

"Come in if you want to buy anything, don't just stand there stupidly."

A feeling of embarrassment instantly spread throughout Zhou Xinyao's body.

"I just saw you fell asleep, and I didn't want to disturb you, so~"

"Come in, I'm not asleep," the doctor replied yawning.

Zhou Xinyao lowered her head and smiled awkwardly, then walked in with her head held high.

"I want to buy some gauze swabs, alcohol, iodine, and some Band-Aids," Zhou Xinyao said thoughtfully.

The doctor immediately stood up and went to search on the shelf behind him.

"Potidol, alcohol..."

The doctor placed all the medicines Zhou Xinyao mentioned on the counter, then looked up and asked, "Anything else you want to order?"

"Hmm... some more anti-inflammatory medicine."

The doctor turned around again and took out a box of anti-inflammatory drugs from the cabinet and placed it on the table.

"It's 58 in total, just scan here."

Zhou Xinyao opened WeChat skillfully, scanned it, and subconsciously entered the password.

[wrong password]

Several big red words appeared before my eyes again.

"Hey, what did I just lose?"

Zhou Xinyao felt embarrassed and quickly pressed "

This time the payment was successful.

Why did I enter that string of numbers again just now?

Zhou Xinyao was thinking hard when the doctor put the medicine into a bag and handed it to her.

"Here~ Hey, here~"

After being shouted twice, Zhou Xinyao finally reacted.

"Sorry, I was distracted just now~"

Zhou Xinyao smiled awkwardly.

"Your distraction is really abnormal. You can't hear me even when I call you so loudly?"

The doctor looked at Zhou Xinyao in surprise and asked.

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear you."

"Have you ever injured your head? Or is there something growing inside?" the doctor looked at Zhou Xinyao with a frown.

"None~"

Zhou Xinyao was extremely embarrassed at this moment and didn't even dare to look up at the doctor's eyes.

Then she grabbed the medicine and walked out quickly.

"Hey, I suggest you go to the hospital and get an X-ray. It would be best if you could get an MRI to avoid delaying your treatment."

"Thank you~"

Zhou Xinyao replied with her back turned.

"Ah~"

The doctor sighed, looking helpless.

After coming out of the small clinic, Zhou Xinyao quickly went to the small convenience store diagonally opposite.

The convenience store owner was a middle-aged woman who was eating melon seeds and watching TV series.

When the owner saw Zhou Xinyao walk in, he raised his eyelids to take a look, then continued to watch the show while eating melon seeds.

Zhou Xinyao first came to the bottle of mineral water at the door, ready to buy a bottle of mineral water to take back.

It can be seen that the door is piled with large packages, each containing 24 bottles.

"Boss, do you have small packages?" Zhou Xinyao asked softly.

"Look at what's out there. If there's something, there's something. If there's nothing, there's nothing."

The proprietress's answer was still so cold.

Zhou Xinyao checked it carefully again and responded, "No more."

"Oh, that's it."

The proprietress replied indifferently, showing no enthusiasm for doing business at all.

Zhou Xinyao took a look at the large package and then at the bulk goods in the refrigerator next to it and hesitated.

You can buy fewer bottles in bulk, but it's expensive. Large items are cheaper, but too heavy.

Carrying this huge piece of equipment up to the eighth floor on the water was really a tough experience.

Then she looked at the small bottle of water next to her. A barrel was 5L, and the weight was not bad.

"Boss, I'd like a bucket of this water, and... a pack of disposable paper cups."

Zhou Xinyao originally wanted to buy two cups, but she found that the things sold in this small convenience store were incredibly expensive, so she had to give up the idea.

"It's 35 dollars in total. Scan here?"

"35? Zhou Xinyao thought she had heard it wrong," she asked in surprise.

"Yes, 35 dollars."

The boss looked up and glanced at Zhou Xinyao with an extremely arrogant expression.

This convenience store raises its prices because it knows that some people come here to buy things for convenience.

When Zhou Xinyao heard the price of 35 yuan, she was a little reluctant to buy it.

"35, just scan here."

The boss tapped the QR code on the table, as if trying to force a sale.

Zhou Xinyao secretly glanced at the boss and found that her eyes looked a bit threatening.

"Oh, I'll sweep it right away."

A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. I will endure it this time and never do it again next time.

Zhou Xinyao comforted herself and then scanned 35 yuan.

Looking at the 20 disposable paper cups in her hand and the water that could be bought for just over 10 yuan, Zhou Xinyao felt heartbroken.

"Forget it, let's go back first."

Zhou Xinyao thought to herself.

She came to the fence again with her things in her hands. In order to avoid the embarrassment from last time, she looked left and right a few times, and only went in with confidence after making sure that there was no one around.

Luckily this time no one saw it.

Looking at the eight-story building in front of her, Zhou Xinyao sighed and quickened her pace as she walked upstairs.

After hearing the door open, Zhou Sen suddenly sat up from the sofa.

"Zhou Min, you're back so soon?"

Zhou Xinyao smiled and nodded, and I took a shortcut.

"That dog hole you dug?" Zhou Sen asked with a smile.

Zhou Xinyao smiled awkwardly, "Oh, it was so embarrassing just now, my skirt got stuck on the root of a dead tree."

Seeing a hole in the corner of Zhou Xinyao's skirt, Zhou Sen shouted distressedly: "Come on, Zhou Min, I'll take you to buy another skirt."

"Brother, I don't want to buy a skirt, don't get me wrong."

Zhou Xinyao really didn’t have this idea, she just wanted to complain about the embarrassing experience just now.

Zhou Sen also knew that Zhou Xinyao didn't mean that, but when he saw that Zhou Xinyao's skirt was scratched, he felt so guilty.

"Zhou Min, we have to go out again anyway, let's go now."

Zhou Sen wanted to drag Zhou Xinyao out, but as soon as he raised his hand, he found that his palm was stained with blood again.

"Brother, look at your hands," Zhou Xinyao cried out in pain.

"It's out of the way."

Zhou Sen immediately picked up the tissue on the table and wiped his hands, then looked at Zhou Xinyao with joy.

"Let me bandage you. I've just bought some medicine."

Zhou Xinyao put the medicine on the table.

"Oh, it's really nothing. I didn't go to the hospital when I got a big cut on my arm from a fishhook."

As Zhou Sen spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, and saw a scar like a giant centipede spreading on his arm, which made people's scalp tingle.

However, Zhou Sen had a proud expression on his face.

"Brother, please sit down and I will bandage you."
