Chapter 97 - 97: 97 cannot be cured
Seeing his exaggerated sad expression, she didn’t feel the slightest bit of sympathy for him. This guy had a glib tongue and was considered handsome in the village…
He would always brag about how handsome he was in Wushan Village in front of her, and she could understand it just by looking at his lips move. With his appearance, who knows which woman in the village he might have hooked up with.
This guy must be good at deceiving women. She wouldn’t fall for it.
Before long, Xiao Yishan brought Dr. Sun Changde with him.
Seeing Yuchuan, Granny Sun also came along. Granny Sun was Doctor Sun’s wife, known to be particularly stingy and fond of taking small advantages.
“Doctor Sun, please check my wife’s pulse. She can’t hear anything with her ears…” Xiao Yishan’s resolute face was filled with anxiety. He moved two stools and gestured to Su Qingyue.
She understood and walked over.
He asked her to sit on a stool, and Doctor Sun sat on the stool opposite her, gesturing to her wrist.
Su Qingyue understood and extended her arm, raising her sleeve above her wrist.
Dr. Sun Changde’s withered and skinny old hand touched her pulse and began to examine her while he pondered.
“Doctor Sun, how’s my wife? Would you please say something?” Xiao Yuchuan was getting impatient.
He stroked his white and gray beard, “Strange… She’s taken all her internal injury medicine on time, right?”
Xiao Yuchuan couldn’t hold back anymore. “Of course, she finished the eighteen doses of medicine the day before yesterday, and she didn’t miss a single meal. I watched her drink the medicine myself. What’s wrong?”
“The medicine could at most help her recover half of her severely injured organs… She still needs to continue taking the medicine. She shouldn’t have recovered so quickly…”
Xiao Yuchuan became angry, “Doctor Sun, what do you mean? Is my wife recovering too quickly not a good thing? Do you want to continue selling your expensive medicine and make our family spend more silver?”
Dr. Sun Changde’s face darkened, “I’ve always practiced medicine with integrity, don’t slander me like that!”
Thinking that he didn’t want his wife to recover quickly, Xiao Yishan’s face also turned sour, “Doctor Sun, can you heal her ears?”
“Has she suffered any other injuries since returning from town?”
Xiao Yishan hadn’t been home for several days and looked towards his third brother. If his third brother hadn’t looked after his wife while he was away, they’d be skinning him alive!
Yuchuan shook his head, “No. I’ve been taking good care of her, I wouldn’t let her get hurt.”
“Please forgive my shallow medical skills. Her ears must have been deafened by a blow in town. I’ve checked her pulse twice before but didn’t notice it, only focusing on her internal injuries. Now, after thoroughly examining her, there’s some congestion in her brain that hasn’t dispersed. She needs acupuncture to relieve it.”
“Well, please give her acupuncture quickly…” The two brothers almost spoke at the same time.
Dr. Sun Changde sighed, “This needle shouldn’t be used carelessly. If done improperly, she could go blind. There are hardly any doctors in the world who can insert the needle with absolute precision. Even if there were highly skilled doctors, the fee… It’s more than what most families can afford. Comparing blindness and deafness… it’s better to be deaf. If she goes blind, she won’t be able to see anything and won’t even be able to take care of herself. She’ll need someone to look after her for the rest of her life. If she’s only deaf… and mute, at least she can still do housework and work.”
Xiao Yishan’s face turned green after hearing this, “Doctor Sun, please think of another way! ”
“I’ve explained it to you so clearly, there’s really nothing I can do. If my medical skills were truly that great, would I be living in the village? I would have been living in some grand mansion long ago..”
