Chapter 40

Grandpa Shen returned home from the clinic around noon.

He didn’t feel much at first, but at night, when he saw his knee, which was visibly less swollen and no longer red, he was both amazed and surprised.

It got better so quickly?

Not only he, but even Shen Wulin and Jiang Xinli were surprised.

They thought it would take at least a week, but in just one afternoon, the old man’s leg had gotten so much better.

Goodness, this Doctor Jiang was too amazing!

Shen Wulin took the medicine package Jiang Nianzi had prescribed and soaked it in water to apply it to the old man’s leg, while applying it, he asked: “Dad, how are you feeling now?”

The old man had been unable to even stretch his leg, he needed someone to help him walk.

Hearing Shen Wulin’s words, he tried to lift his leg and bend it.

Although there was still a little bit of stinging pain, compared to the excruciating pain before, it was nothing.

Shen Cheng came out of the room to pour water to drink, seeing the old man’s movements, he quickly went to the old man.

“Grandpa, your leg is better?”

The old man was happy that he could move his leg freely, he waved his hand: “It’s not completely better, but I believe that soon, it will be back to normal as Doctor Jiang said, my leg hasn’t felt this comfortable in a long time.”

Jiang Xinli was genuinely happy for the old man, ever since she married into the Shen family, her father-in-law and mother-in-law treated her like their own daughter.

Hearing the old man’s words, Jiang Xinli sighed: “I didn’t expect Doctor Jiang to be so young, but her medical skills are so amazing, she’s really incredible.”

As for Shen Wulin, he thought of his son, maybe, this Doctor Jiang could really cure his son’s illness.

Shen Cheng had been listening for a while, he heard a key word.

“Doctor Jiang?”

Hearing his sudden question, Jiang Xinli felt confused, because her son wasn’t the type to gossip.

Her eyes lit up with a smile: “You know Doctor Jiang?”

Shen Cheng wasn’t sure if they were talking about the Doctor Jiang he knew.

So he asked: “Is she the Doctor Jiang from Deyuan Clinic?”

“Yes, yes, yes, it’s her.” Jiang Xinli happily pulled Shen Cheng, she was full of gossip: “Son, do you know Doctor Jiang? What’s your relationship with her? Have you…”

“No.”

Shen Cheng raised his hand and covered Jiang Xinli’s face, stopping her from continuing to gossip: “It’s not what you think, I… don’t really know Doctor Jiang.”

“Don’t really know? Then how do you know her, how do you pay attention to her?” Jiang Xinli’s gossip didn’t decrease, it increased: “Are you secretly in love with her?”

What?

This was really a coincidence, he didn’t expect that Doctor Jiang not only saved his life, but also cured his grandfather’s leg ailment that had been plaguing him for so long.

She was a skilled doctor with a kind heart, she was really a good doctor.

He had always regretted not being able to personally thank his savior.

This time he had the chance, Shen Cheng decided to go with his grandfather.

“Is Grandpa going for a follow-up appointment tomorrow?”

Jiang Xinli said: “Of course, Doctor Jiang said that the treatment will take at least a week.”

Shen Cheng nodded: “Okay, then I’ll go with Grandpa tomorrow.”

Jiang Xinli’s eyes lit up instantly, just now in his room, she persuaded him, and he only said he would consider it, but when he heard that it was Doctor Jiang whom he knew, he actually took the initiative to say he would go.

Seeing her gaze, Shen Cheng was afraid that his mother would have wild thoughts and randomly play matchmaker, he decided to tell her the reason first.

“Mom, don’t do things that make people uncomfortable, I’m your son, you can say whatever you want, but Doctor Jiang is not familiar with us, watch your words, I want to go find Doctor Jiang, I just want to thank her in person.”

“Thank her? Because of your grandpa?” Shen Wulin asked.

Shen Cheng shook his head: “No, last time there was a flood in Da Mu Village, we went to rescue, I was accidentally swept away by the flood, Li Wen said that it was Doctor Jiang who jumped into the water and rescued me.”

Shen Cheng said it lightly, but the danger involved made the Shen family feel a pang in their chests.

Being swept away by a flood, how dangerous was that?

In such a situation, where even Shen Cheng couldn’t save himself, Doctor Jiang actually dared to jump into the water to save him?

Just thinking about it, Jiang Xinli felt a wave of fear.

At the same time, she didn’t dare to have any more thoughts.

However, Jiang Xinli still pulled Shen Cheng aside to make it clear about the treatment.

Shen Cheng’s eyelids twitched: “Did you tell Doctor Jiang that I’m not working in that area?”

Jiang Xinli felt that his tone was strange: “Didn’t you say that you’re not working? Son, illness doesn’t discriminate against doctors, don’t worry, although Doctor Jiang is a girl, in her eyes, you’re just a patient, since Doctor Jiang is so skilled, and why don’t you go and see her, what if she can cure you?”

Shen Cheng remained silent for a long time, he wanted to retort, but he seemed to have nothing to retort with.

Although his mother misunderstood what his illness was, she said one thing right, if it could be cured, why wouldn’t he try it?

He didn’t care so much about being infertile, but if he wanted to get married, the woman would definitely mind…

He didn’t have the idea of getting married before.

Since…

Realizing that the eighteen-year-old girl flashed through his mind again, Shen Cheng slapped himself in the face.

“You’re really a beast!”

What was he thinking?

That girl was still so young, besides, it was still a question whether he could meet her again.

“What beast?” Jiang Xinli’s ears were sharp, she heard it.

Shen Cheng turned and left, leaving only a casual sentence: “You heard wrong…”

Huh?

Jiang Xinli was suspicious, he said it so clearly, was she really mistaken?

–

On the other side, Jiang Nianzi went home today, she bought some things, so she was delayed.

It was already dark when she reached the village.

There was a small grove of trees about a hundred meters away from the village entrance, full of weeds.

As soon as Jiang Nianzi reached there, she heard a rustling sound from the left.

She frowned and turned her head.

It was Jiang Ergang.

Beside him was a very ugly man.

The man ran quickly and blocked Jiang Nianzi’s path, while Jiang Ergang also stopped Jiang Nianzi from behind.

Jiang Nianzi’s face didn’t change, from the moment she saw Jiang Ergang appear, she understood that this rascal was not reconciled to being beaten by her brother last time, and he had come to make trouble this time.

He wanted to take advantage of her being alone and do something dirty to her?

Sure enough, Jiang Ergang spoke, his face was still bruised and swollen, blue and purple.

He even stretched his mouth when he spoke, the pain made his face change.

He snorted coldly and said: “Jiang Nianzi, do you want to walk into the woods yourself, or do I drag you in? Think carefully, if you behave, you’ll suffer less.”

Jiang Nianzi’s face didn’t change, she said softly: “Then I’ll go there myself, walk a little further, I don’t want to be heard or seen by others.”

Saying this, she turned around and walked into the woods first.

Jiang Ergang didn’t expect her to be so accommodating.
