Chapter 360: A Gift of Medicine

“Acupuncture? I can’t do that,” Shen Qianhe said with an embarrassed smile.

He was trained in Western medicine and had no knowledge of Chinese medicine techniques.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard his grandfather grunt loudly from the other side.

“I told you both to come and learn Chinese medicine with me, but you two didn’t listen. Now you realize how great the ancestral skills are, huh?” Third Uncle looked at his grandson with disdain.

Shen Qianhe smiled awkwardly, enduring his grandfather’s nagging.

Li Yiyi continued answering his questions, one after the other.

“I never knew that the traditional Chinese medicine passed down from our ancestors was so powerful. I really had no idea,” Shen Qianhe finally realized, understanding what he had missed out on.

However, he had grown accustomed to Western medicine, and switching to Chinese medicine would be difficult.

But even though he couldn’t learn Chinese medicine, he could bring Chinese medicine to Western medicine. He was thinking of creating a blend of both.

“Li doctor, could you send me some of that medicine for promoting muscle growth and blood circulation? I want to take it back to the hospital and try it out. To be honest, I have many patients like Jiang Qing, who suffer from similar injuries. Every time I see them in pain, as their attending physician, I feel heartbroken too.”

Li Yiyi looked at him with appreciation. Anyone who was genuinely concerned for their patients was, in her eyes, a good doctor.

“Of course. Later, when we go back, I’ll bring you the two remaining bottles of ointment from my family’s place. If you don’t mind, you can take them to the hospital and try them on the patients.”

“Great, thank you so much, Li doctor. You’re truly a wonderful doctor. On behalf of all the injured patients at the hospital, thank you,” Shen Qianhe said, his face filled with joy.

After a long day of consultations, when the sun was setting, Li Yiyi led Shen Qianhe towards the Jiang family’s home.

When they arrived at the yard, Jiang Dage, who was practicing walking, was surprised to see someone familiar following behind his sister-in-law.

“I thought you weren’t coming today,” Jiang Dage said as he looked at Shen Qianhe.

Shen Qianhe smiled apologetically. “Sorry, I got delayed by something and couldn’t make it to find you in time.”

“It’s fine. You’re here now. And since my sister-in-law is here too, you can ask her whatever you need,” Jiang Dage said.

Li Yiyi listened to their conversation, puzzled.

Shen Qianhe explained that he had made an appointment with Jiang Dage earlier that morning.

“I see. Well, you wait here for a moment. I’ll go inside and get the ointment for you,” Li Yiyi said with a smile.

Before Shen Qianhe could respond, Li Yiyi walked into the house.

She locked the door behind her and entered the space supermarket. She had stored the leftover ointments there because she was worried that if left outside too long, their effectiveness would decrease. Storing them in the space would keep them fresh indefinitely.

After grabbing two boxes of the ointment, she quickly exited the space supermarket.

In the yard, Shen Qianhe and Jiang Dage were still chatting.

“You’re asking me to go to the hospital and share my experience of healing my legs with patients who have injuries like mine?” Just then, Jiang Dage’s incredulous shout rang out.

Shen Qianhe smiled. “Yes, you know that most patients who suffer injuries like yours often lose hope and don’t believe they can heal. But after seeing your transformation, I realized that patients in the hospital can recover too—they just need someone to lead them. Your success can be the beacon they need.”

Jiang Dage was now nervous. The thought of speaking in front of those patients made his legs begin to tremble in anxiety.

“No, I really can’t do it. I’m not good with words. I’m afraid I’ll mess it up. Maybe you should find someone else to do this,” Jiang Dage shook his head vigorously.

“It’s okay. Just go and talk to them. Tell them how you overcame your inner struggles and how you healed your legs. That’s all you need to do,” Shen Qianhe urged.

“I really can’t. I get so nervous that I might faint before I even open my mouth,” Jiang Dage said, already feeling the anxiety creeping in.

“What can’t you do?” Li Yiyi stepped out at that moment, just as Jiang Dage’s agitated shout rang out.

She asked this question, and both men stopped talking, with Jiang Dage blushing deeply.

Shen Qianhe then explained, “Actually, I want Jiang Dage to share his healing experience with the patients at the hospital. His story is a source of hope for them.”

Li Yiyi nodded. “Dage, what do you think?”

Jiang Dage gave a wry smile. “Sister-in-law, I’m just not good with my words. I don’t think I can speak well.”

“It’s okay. You can try. Just treat it like a chat, talking about your experience,” Li Yiyi encouraged.

Seeing their encouraging looks, Jiang Dage felt a bit of hesitation but also some willingness to try.

After some internal struggle, he finally nodded. “Alright, I’ll give it a try. But can I have a day or two to prepare?”

Shen Qianhe was overjoyed when he agreed. He would have accepted any request, no matter how big.

“No problem. Two days will be enough. Don’t worry, our hospital will compensate you for your time,” Shen Qianhe said, smiling.

When Jiang Dage heard about the compensation, he was surprised but quickly waved his hand. “No need for payment. I’m happy to help. Just being able to help people is enough.”

Shen Qianhe admired him for his selflessness. “Jiang Dage, you truly have a heart full of love.”

Jiang Dage scratched his head awkwardly. “I just know how painful it was to be in that situation. I still feel sad thinking about it. If I can help others, that will make me happy.”

After they settled everything, Li Yiyi handed him the two boxes of ointment.
