Chapter 73 Helping Children See a Doctor

Li Changping feared encountering people like Liu Yulan among the returned educated youths.  Liu Yulan was seriously injured, and he couldn’t ignore her, so he arranged for a team member to take her to the clinic.  At this time, Sun Wenwen stepped forward and said to Jiang Li, “Jiang Zhiqing, didn’t you say you could treat people? Since you can, why don’t you treat Liu Zhiqing? That way, she doesn’t have to go to the clinic.

” Sun Wenwen also thought Jiang Li was bragging and deliberately tried to expose her. Jiang Li had harmed her so badly, and she wouldn’t let her off easily.  This was a chance to expose Jiang Li’s lies and humiliate her publicly, and she wouldn’t miss it. Jiang Li calmly replied, “I can treat her, but I’m afraid Liu Zhiqing won’t let me.

 She was just questioning me. Why should I treat someone who questions me?” Liu Yulan, remembering the strange aura around Jiang Li, didn’t dare to let her treat her. She didn’t know if Jiang Li would take advantage of the opportunity to harm her, and she didn’t want to risk it. “I don’t want her to treat me.

I’ll go to the clinic.” Sun Wenwen, unable to expose Jiang Li’s lies, pursed her lips in frustration. At this moment, a team member stepped forward and said to Jiang Li, “Jiang Zhiqing, can you really treat people? My grandson has been coughing for a month, and he hasn’t gotten better. We took him to the clinic, but the medicine didn’t work. Can you take a look?” The speaker was an elderly woman who looked frail.

 Jiang Li didn’t help everyone, but she had to help this elderly woman. The old woman’s son was a soldier who died in action a few years ago, leaving only her grandson. After her son’s death, his wife ran away with his compensation money, leaving the old woman to raise her grandson alone, struggling to make ends meet.

Due to their financial difficulties, they couldn’t afford to take the child to the county hospital and could only go to the clinic.  The medicine didn’t work, and the child coughed constantly, losing his appetite.

The old woman asked Jiang Li for help, hoping that Jiang Li could cure her grandson. Sun Wenwen thought another opportunity had arrived. Seeing Jiang Li silent, she thought she was guilty and said sarcastically, “Jiang Zhiqing, why aren’t you speaking? Are you afraid of being exposed because you can’t actually treat illnesses?” Jiang Li ignored Sun Wenwen and said to the old woman, “Grandma, no problem.

Show me your grandson, and I’ll examine him and treat him accordingly.” The old woman quickly responded, “Okay, Jiang Zhiqing, I’ll take you there now.” Jiang Li greeted Li Changping and followed the old woman. Li Changping knew Jiang Li would finish her work, so he didn’t say anything about the delay.

 Li Changping also wanted to know if Jiang Li, besides using Zhuyou techniques to treat people, had other methods to cure illnesses. If she truly had this ability, the Victory Production Brigade would have a doctor.  This would make it more convenient and cheaper for team members to get medical treatment.

Jiang Li followed the old woman to her home. The old woman’s husband’s surname was Yu, so Jiang Li called her Grandma Yu.

The old woman’s house wasn’t the worst in the village because her son had been a soldier, receiving a monthly allowance, which allowed them to build a larger house. If her son hadn’t died, their living conditions would be much better.  But then her son died, and his wife ran away with his compensation money.

  The old woman, unable to do much work, struggled to raise her grandson alone. Jiang Li went to Grandma Yu’s house and examined her grandson.  Previous treatments had been ineffective, and the child’s cough, lasting a month, had developed into pneumonia.

 Fortunately, Grandma Yu had found Jiang Li; otherwise, the pneumonia could have been fatal.  Jiang Li would do her best to save the child of a hero.

After determining the child’s condition, Jiang Li said to Grandma Yu, “Grandma Yu, don’t worry. I can cure your grandson. I’ll go to the mountain this afternoon to collect some herbs and bring them to you.

” Hearing this, Grandma Yu nodded happily, “Okay, okay, Jiang Zhiqing, thank you.” Jiang Li said, “It’s nothing, Grandma Yu.” As Jiang Li was about to leave, she sensed a ghostly presence.  Seeing Jiang Li stop suddenly, Grandma Yu asked, “Jiang Zhiqing, what’s wrong?” Jiang Li wasn’t sure whether to tell Grandma Yu. She decided not to mention it for now and focus on curing the child.

 “Nothing, Grandma Yu, I’ll go to work now.” “Okay, okay, I’ll go too.” Jiang Li returned to the fields. Mu Jingxun and Bai Zirong saw Jiang Li return quickly and asked, “Sister Li, you really can treat people?” “Jiang Zhiqing, we never knew you could practice medicine.” Jiang Li casually made up an excuse, “I self-studied some traditional Chinese medicine, but I don’t have a medical license, so I don’t dare to treat people casually. Since someone trusts me and wants me to help, I don’t mind taking a look.

” Mu Jingxun and Bai Zirong looked at Jiang Li with admiration. Traditional Chinese medicine was so profound; self-teaching was incredibly difficult. Jiang Li was truly brilliant, mastering such a profound subject through self-study. The three continued working and finished their work early. After returning, Jiang Li prepared lunch and discovered that the pheasant she had left for Mu Jingxun and Bai Zirong hadn’t been eaten. Jiang Li asked, “I left you a pheasant.

Why didn’t you eat it? Were you saving it for me?” Bai Zirong weakly said, “Sister Li, I wanted to eat it, but Xun Ge said that good things should be shared; we shouldn’t eat alone.” Jiang Li smiled at Mu Jingxun, “Don’t do that next time.

 I can get more. It’s not that rare.” Mu Jingxun, like an obedient child, nodded, “Okay, Jiang Zhiqing, I understand. I won’t do it again.” Bai Zirong glanced at Mu Jingxun. He felt that Xun Ge had the potential to be henpecked, but he didn’t dare say it, afraid of being beaten. Jiang Li asked Mu Jingxun to prepare the pheasant.

She would make chicken and mushroom stew for lunch. Bai Zirong had tasted Jiang Li’s chicken and mushroom stew before and couldn’t help but salivate at the thought of eating it again.
