Chapter 33

“Where’s the exaggeration? My rheumatism, I don’t know how many years it’s been tormenting me, I’ve seen countless old Chinese medicine practitioners, every time it doesn’t last long before it flares up, you just need to give me acupuncture and prescribe some medicine for soaking my feet, my legs will feel comfortable immediately.”

Knowing that Granny Liu was here to get medicine.

Jiang Nianzi turned around and went to the medicine cabinet to grab medicine for Granny Liu.

While grabbing the medicine, she said to Grandpa Shen and the others: “Grandpa, if you’re in a hurry, I can take a look at what’s wrong with you first, if you’re not in a hurry, then wait for my Grandpa Zhang to come back tomorrow, and then you can find him.”

Grandpa Shen had been inquiring around for a long time, and he finally found out that there was a famous old Chinese medicine practitioner in Qishi Town.

He heard that a woman had been unable to conceive for several years, she took a few doses of medicine prescribed by Doctor Zhang, and then she had a child.

Thinking that his grandson might have this problem, he set his sights on this old Chinese medicine practitioner.

Unexpectedly, he came empty-handed.

He was planning to go back, but after hearing what this old lady said, the three members of the Shen family hesitated.

It was Shen Wulin who made the decision first.

“My father’s knees are always swollen and painful, little girl, take a look at my father.”

He was good at observing people’s expressions, he saw that the old lady spoke about this girl with respect in her eyes, it couldn’t be fake, she must have some skills.

“Okay, you help your grandpa sit over there for a while, I’ll be right over.”

Jiang Nianzi grabbed the medicine and handed it to Granny Liu, she calculated the money and told Granny Liu that it was three yuan in total.

“Okay.”

Granny Liu immediately paid Jiang Nianzi.

After dealing with Granny Liu, Jiang Nianzi came to the consultation room.

The so-called consultation room was just a small space separated by a screen in the hall, with tables, chairs and benches.

Shen Wulin and Jiang Xinli had already helped the old man sit down.

Jiang Nianzi didn’t sit opposite him to examine him, she went directly to the old man and knelt down on a cushion.

“Grandpa, I need to roll up your pants leg to see the painful area.”

Jiang Nianzi reached out to roll it up, Shen Wulin was faster.

“Little girl, let me do it.”

Jiang Nianzi didn’t mind, the old man’s knees were red and swollen, no wonder his walking posture was a little off.

Jiang Nianzi stretched out her finger, gently pressing on several points, while pressing, she observed the old man’s expression.

She pressed down gently, and the other person’s face changed.

“Does it hurt when you don’t touch it?”

The old man told the truth: “It does, it hurts so much that I can’t walk.”

Jiang Nianzi continued to ask: “Is it hot?”

The old man: “It’s very hot.”

Jiang Nianzi had seen countless patients in her previous life, after asking a few questions, she had basically determined the old man’s condition.

But she still asked a few more questions.

“How long has this been going on? Do you have a fever and chills all over?”

Originally, the old man thought that even if this little girl was smart and talented, her medical skills couldn’t be better than Grandpa Zhang’s.

After all, Chinese medicine was all about accumulation, the more experience, the more skilled the medical skills.

Seeing that she just took one look and could tell his symptoms, the old man was immediately excited.

“Yes, yes, yes, I have a fever and chills, and I also have a fever, this has been going on for about three or four months, I’ve seen many doctors but none of them have cured it, do you have a way to treat it?”

He had originally just called her little girl, now he was using honorifics.

“It’s not a big problem, it’s just suppurative arthritis.”

Jiang Xinli and Shen Wulin were also somewhat surprised to look at Jiang Nianzi.

They came here today without any hope that anyone could cure the old man’s leg ailment, because they had already consulted many doctors.

Their intention was just to test her medical skills, let alone cure it, it would be good if it could be alleviated.

Unexpectedly, she said so easily that it wasn’t a big problem.

This surprised the old man and Shen Wulin and his wife.

Shen Wulin completely forgot about his unfilial son.

He excitedly asked Jiang Nianzi: “Doctor Jiang, can you really cure my father’s leg?”

Jiang Nianzi understood the patient’s mood, the medical conditions in this era were not so good, if they encountered this problem, they must have seen many doctors, and they were all unable to cure it in the end.

She didn’t mind at all, she said patiently: “Don’t worry, since I dare to guarantee it, I can definitely cure it.”

“Then, how long will it take?” Jiang Xinli asked.

Jiang Nianzi hesitated for a moment, she conservatively said: “A week.”

“It can be cured in a week!”

Jiang Xinli’s voice rose, she was overly surprised.

Didn’t they say that Chinese medicine is slow to take effect?

It could actually be cured in a week.

Jiang Nianzi smiled: “It’s not cured in a week, it’s just that the treatment time only takes a week, you need to protect and recuperate well afterwards, you also need to take medicine, it will take some time for a complete recovery.”

Her smile was gentle, she was very patient with the patient, and her speech was gentle and soft, but when she talked about her profession, she was calm and confident, not at all timid or hesitant.

The more confident a person’s speech, the more confident they are.

“Then when do we start treatment?” Shen Wulin asked.

Jiang Nianzi thought for a moment and said: “Tomorrow, I need to prepare some medicinal herbs for treatment today.”

“Okay, then I’ll bring my father over tomorrow.”

–

After getting into the car, Shen Wulin and Jiang Xinli remembered, oh no, they forgot to ask if this doctor could treat their son’s condition.

But…

It’s not too late to ask tomorrow.

Being able to cure their father’s leg, Shen Wulin and Jiang Xinli were both a little relieved.

The old man was suffering from this ailment, it was unbearable.

Thinking that it would soon be cured, the old man’s smile also increased.

The old man said to Jiang Xinli: “Ali, when you go back, call the third son, find an excuse to ask him to take a leave of absence and come to Qishi Town.”

The third son was Shen Cheng.

Jiang Xinli frowned when she heard this: “But we don’t know if Doctor Jiang can cure A-Cheng’s illness.”

“How can you be sure? We don’t even know what’s wrong with the third son, bring him here first, and let this Doctor Jiang take a look, that’s the important thing.”

Jiang Xinli sighed: “As soon as the third son answers our phone, he’ll think we’re trying to trick him into going on a blind date, he definitely won’t come.”

Knowing that his leg could be cured, the old man was in a good mood, he said calmly: “Then you tell the third son that I’m seriously ill and bedridden, I don’t have much breath left, ask him to hurry back to see me for the last time.”

Jiang Xinli’s eyes lit up when she heard this: “Okay, this is a good idea, A-Cheng will definitely come back immediately.”

Shen Wulin listened to the conversation between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the corners of his eyes twitched violently.

For a moment, he didn’t know whether to feel sorry for his son, or to feel sorry for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who would soon face his son’s anger.

He didn’t say anything, when the third son got angry later, he could keep himself clean.

Not bad, he was still that upright old father.

–

On the other side, after sending the three people away, Jiang Nianzi started to look for medicinal herbs to make the ointment she needed.

Suppurative arthritis is caused by suppurative bacterial infection, according to Chinese medicine methods, the effect is very slow, and it may not be completely effective.

Western medicine treatment would choose surgery and antibiotic treatment.

Although Jiang Nianzi was a Chinese medicine practitioner, she understood one principle, medical principles are all interconnected.

She had studied Western medicine.

Based on Western medicine treatment methods, she had also developed her own Chinese medicine treatment methods.

It was fast and didn’t require surgery.

But she needed to make an ointment to prevent persistent infection.

This ointment was developed by her, it had an effect similar to antibiotics.

In her previous life, she had also applied for a patent.

She soaked the herbs she needed to use, squeezed out the water, and then ground them into a paste with other medicinal powders.

This process required great care.

It took Jiang Nianzi about four or five hours to make this ointment.

When she was done, it was almost time to get off work.

Zhao Fangru rushed back at the last minute.

Jiang Nianzi gave her 13 bottles of whitening cream and told her: “Don’t rush to give them all to them, just take out half, keep the rest for now, say that I’m busy and don’t have time, so I only made a few bottles, I’ll make the rest for them later.”

Hearing this, Zhao Fangru’s eyes lit up.

She gave Jiang Nianzi a thumbs up: “Doctor Jiang, you’re so smart, keeping them hanging like this, the ones who were hesitant before, won’t they hurry up and order some goods now?”

Jiang Nianzi patted her shoulder: “Go, work hard, I might be a little busy these days, if you have nothing to do, you don’t need to come over, and you can keep the money for now.”

“Okay.”

Zhao Fangru agreed readily, then she thought of her clothes and hurriedly asked: “What about my clothes?”

“Come and get them the day after tomorrow.” Jiang Nianzi said.

With Jiang Xue’s speed, she should be able to make them in two days.

She only had these two orders, it wouldn’t be too slow.

“Okay, then I’ll come and find you the day after tomorrow.”

On the other side, as soon as Jiang Xinli went back, she called Shen Cheng.

Shen Cheng had a phone in his office.

But phone calls in the army were monitored.

Hearing Jiang Xinli’s voice, Shen Cheng subconsciously wanted to hang up the phone, thinking it was a call to urge him to get married.

Jiang Xinli knew her son’s nature.

Before he hung up, she quickly said: “Son, come to Qishi Town quickly, your grandpa is not doing well.”

“What!” Shen Cheng’s hand holding the phone suddenly tightened: “What’s going on, how come grandpa is in Qishi Town?”

Jiang Xinli said: “Didn’t your grandpa have leg problems? He saw many doctors but none of them could cure it, he heard that there was a skilled old Chinese medicine practitioner here, so he came over, but yesterday…”

At this point, Jiang Xinli deliberately made her voice sound choked, with a sense of choking.

“Anyway, come quickly, your grandpa may only be able to see you one last time.”

How could Shen Cheng still sit still?

When he was young, his parents were both busy, he was mostly raised by his grandparents.

After his grandmother passed away, his grandpa lived alone, he didn’t like to live with his parents.

He hung up the phone and immediately ran to Zhao, the brigade commander’s office.

He was fortunate that there was nothing important in the army now, and he was even more fortunate that he had accumulated a lot of leave because he had been working without a break for many years.

Shen Cheng was in a hurry, on the other side, Jiang Xinli wiped away her tears and asked the old man beside her.

“Dad, how did I perform just now?”

The old man nodded at her: “You performed very well, if you hadn’t asked me, I would have thought I was really going to die.”

Jiang Xinli: “…”

Shen Wulin, this old fox, was secretly happy that this idea was good, it would definitely trick his son over, but he also despised the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for not having a single truthful word in their mouths.

He straightened his back, he was glad that he was not the same kind of person as them.

He was still that upright old father.
