Chapter 358: Is Something Wrong?

What surprised him was that his grandfather acted quickly on this matter. That very afternoon, he met with Comrade Li.

They met in the backyard of the village clinic. After working for a while, Li Yiyi came inside to rest, and it was there that she unexpectedly ran into San Shu Gong (Grandfather’s third brother) who introduced them.

“Girl, this is my useless grandson, the one who helped your big brother with his leg. I’m sorry, he didn’t do a good job with his training. He told you that your big brother’s leg couldn’t be treated, causing your whole family so much suffering,” San Shu Gong said, looking at his worthless grandson with disdain as he spoke to Li Yiyi.

Shen Qianhe, who had been chopping medicine, didn’t expect his grandfather to bring Li Yiyi right in front of him like this. He quickly wiped his hands clean, feeling embarrassed, and reached out to introduce himself, “Hello, Dr. Li. My name is Shen Qianhe. Just as my grandfather said, I was the one who treated your brother’s leg. I’m really sorry, I didn’t know your big brother’s leg could still be treated.”

Li Yiyi looked at him nervously and smiled, “Dr. Shen, you don’t need to be so nervous. And as for my big brother’s leg, I’m very clear about his condition. From the perspective of Western medicine, there was indeed no way to treat my brother’s legs. So when you told him that his legs couldn’t be treated, you were right.”

Shen Qianhe’s heart leaped with excitement after hearing this, and his eyes even moistened. “Dr. Li, I didn’t expect that you not only excel in traditional Chinese medicine but also know so much about Western medicine. That’s right, at that time, I was making the judgment based on Western medicine, and I thought that your brother would never be able to walk again. But because your brother is walking now, many people think my diagnosis was wrong, and you’re the only one speaking up for me.”

“I understand. Sometimes, as doctors, we need not only good medical skills but also the strength to face harsh criticism, don’t we?” Li Yiyi said, looking at him.

After hearing this, Shen Qianhe felt as if his heart had been given a boost of confidence, like a shot of adrenaline.

“Dr. Li, now I understand why you’re so impressive,” Shen Qianhe said, admiring her.

Just from what she had said, he felt she was far superior to him.

At this point, Shen Qianhe began asking about the situation with Comrade Jiang’s legs.

“So, Dr. Shen, you’ve already checked my brother’s legs. How are they doing now? Is he doing well?” she asked with a smile.

“Good, really good. His legs now have sensation, which means the bones and tendons in his legs are improving. Dr. Li, what exactly did you do? I clearly remember that the tendons in Jiang Qing’s legs were completely severed and couldn’t be reattached,” Shen Qianhe said, his eyes wide with curiosity as he asked, “Dr. Li, did you use some powerful technique to reconnect the tendons?”

Li Yiyi smiled and interrupted him, “Dr. Shen, I can only tell you that I used some methods from traditional Chinese medicine to treat my brother’s legs. If you want to know more, I can lend you my notes on the treatment of my brother’s legs later.”

“Can I?” Shen Qianhe asked in surprise.

Li Yiyi laughed when she saw his reaction, “Why not?”

Shen Qianhe, a bit embarrassed, scratched his nose and explained, “After all, these notes are your personal experience in treating an injury. Normally, people would keep such things well and not show them to others.”

Li Yiyi smiled, “I’m not like most people, so I’m happy to let you take a look at my notebook.”

Just as they were talking, a tall man walked into the backyard of the clinic.

When Li Yiyi saw him, a happy smile appeared on her face as she greeted him, “Why are you the one bringing me lunch today?”

“Because I wanted to see you,” Jiang Hong said, walking over with a lunchbox.

When Shen Qianhe heard him, even though he was a grown man, he couldn’t help but feel his face turning red.

Jiang Hong walked up to his wife, then cast a sharp glance at the unfamiliar man standing beside her.

Shen Qianhe noticed the stare and took the initiative to introduce himself, “Hello, my name is Shen Qianhe. San Shu Gong is my grandfather.”

Jiang Hong nodded slightly at him before turning away to arrange the lunch in front of Li Yiyi.

The meal was hearty, with fish and meat, something considered very good in rural villages during that time.

“You must be starving. Eat first,” Jiang Hong said, handing her a pair of chopsticks.

Li Yiyi was about to start eating when she suddenly remembered that there were other people standing by. She put down the chopsticks and politely asked, “Dr. Shen, you haven’t had lunch yet, have you? Would you like to sit down and eat with us?”

Shen Qianhe, who still had some questions to ask her, thought it would be a great opportunity to sit down and chat.

He smiled, ready to agree, but as soon as he saw Jiang Hong’s somewhat unfriendly gaze, he hesitated.

“Actually, it’s fine. I’ll just go eat at my grandfather’s place. You two take your time,” he said quickly, turning to leave.

However, as he reached the door, he hesitated for a moment and turned back to Li Yiyi, “Dr. Li, may I come back this afternoon to ask you a few more questions?”

Li Yiyi thought for a moment before responding, “If I’m not busy, then yes.”

Shen Qianhe nodded and quickly left.

After Shen Qianhe left, Jiang Hong turned to his wife and asked, “Is he also a doctor?”

“Yes, do you know who he is?” Li Yiyi asked as she ate.

Jiang Hong glanced in the direction where Shen Qianhe had gone, raising an eyebrow, “He introduced himself earlier, I think his name is Shen Qianhe, San Shu Gong’s grandson.”

“Yes, that’s right. But he has another identity. He’s the doctor who treated my brother’s legs,” she said with a smile.

Jiang Hong snorted, “So it’s him. Looks like he’s found out that my brother’s legs are doing better.”

“Yeah, not only did he find out, he also went to talk to my brother,” Li Yiyi said with a smile.

Jiang Hong was even more surprised. He hadn’t expected Dr. Shen to be such a humble and good doctor.

After finishing lunch, Jiang Hong helped clean up the dishes. As they prepared to leave, he asked, “How much longer do you have here?”

“Why? Is something wrong?” Li Yiyi looked at him curiously.
