Chapter 195 - 195 There Are Only Patients
The Chief Minister's Ferocious Wife
195 There Are Only Patients
Zhao Chuchu had a good nightâs sleep.
The next day, when she woke up, she saw Xie Hengâs faint dark circles under his eyes. She wanted to laugh but didnât dare to.
âDa Lang, did you go out and steal something last night?â Zhao Chuchu asked knowingly.
âNo, I went to catch a thief.â Xie Heng did not change his expression.
âReally? Whereâs the thief from?â
âThe thief was wandering around all night, very cunning.â
âThatâs because youâre not proficient.â
Xie Heng rubbed Zhao Chuchuâs hair. âThen Iâll work hard and try to catch the thief soon.â
âYou messed up my hair.â Zhao Chuchu glared at him in anger. She had combed it with great effort.
Xie Heng laughed out loud and lowered his head. âYou can rub my hair too.â
Zhao Chuchu looked at Xie Hengâs hair and suddenly came up with a very odd thought. âHe is suitable to be a programmer!â
Xie Heng saw that Zhao Chuchu did not move, so he grabbed her hand and put it on his head.
Zhao Chuchu had always thought that menâs hair was stiff, but Xie Hengâs hair was as soft as satin.
Zhao Chuchu couldnât help but rub Xie Hengâs hair a few more times, which messed up his neatly combed hair.
At that moment, the knock on the door interrupted the ambiguous atmosphere.
âBro, Sis, are you up yet?â Xie Jun shouted from the door.
Xie Heng had no choice but to get up and open the door.
When Xie Jun saw Xie Heng and Zhao Chuchuâs messy hair, he froze for a moment and immediately covered his eyes. âSorry, bro. I shouldnât have disturbed you guys.â
After saying that, Xie Jun turned around and quickly ran away.
Xie Heng was speechless.
Zhao Chuchu saw this from behind and laughed out loud.
Xie Heng turned back. âCan that make you so happy?â
âJunjun is cute. You are so lucky to have such a brother.â Zhao Chuchu stopped laughing.
Xie Heng nodded in agreement. âJunjun is a good boy. Iâm also glad to have such a brother.â
He only hoped that Junjun would be healthy, safe, and happy in this life.
The two of them cleaned up and went out.
The Gan clan had already prepared breakfast. After having breakfast, Zhao Chuchu took the drawing and went to the Qiu clanâs house.
Elder Mr. Qiu had already found several skilled craftsmen from Yuanjiang County.
After Zhao Chuchu performed acupuncture on Old Mr. Qiu, she took out the drawing and explained to the craftsmen how to build each part of the drawing in detail.
These craftsmen had decades of experience and understood it as soon as they heard Zhao Chuchuâs explanation. They immediately said that they could have the wheelchair ready within ten days.
âThatâs good. By then, Old Mr. Qiu should be able to sit up,â Zhao Chuchu said.
Elder Mr. Qiu asked, âIs it already done?â
âYeah, theyâre all experienced craftsmen, so this wonât be difficult for them.â
âThat would be great. Can my dad come out and get around by then?â
âTheoretically, itâs no problem, but letâs wait until then and see how his recovery goes.â
âYes, you are right. Mrs. Xie, thank you so much.â
Elder Mr. Qiu was pleased.
He was a filial son, so he naturally hoped that Old Mr. Qiu would gradually improve.
âHow much should I pay for this wheelchair drawing?â Elder Mr. Qiu asked Zhao Chuchu.
Zhao Chuchu said, âItâs up to you.â
In fact, it was not very technical. It was just a drawing.
But Elder Mr. Qiu still prepared a hundred taels of silver for Zhao Chuchu.
When she received the silver, Zhao Chuchu couldnât help but wonder how many wealthy people there were in Yuanjiang County.
They gave the silver without a hint of hesitation.
Of course, there was no reason to give away the silver in hand.
Who would mind having more silver?
Seeing that the craftsmen understood how to build the wheelchair, Zhao Chuchu was about to leave.
However, Elder Mrs. Qiu called out to Zhao Chuchu. âWait a moment, Mrs. Xie. Can I have a word with you?â
The others were confused.
Elder Mrs. Qiu didnât explain but just looked at Zhao Chuchu.
âOkay.â Zhao Chuchu nodded.
She followed Elder Mrs. Qiu outside.
Elder Mrs. Qiu didnât let anyone else follow her.
âElder Mrs. Qiu, whatâs wrong?â
...
Elder Mrs. Qiu wanted to say something but stopped.
âJust say it.â
âWellâ¦it may be a bit presumptuous. I wonder if you can make men moreâ¦â
âVigorous?â Zhao Chuchu directly answered Elder Mrs. Qiuâs question.
Elder Mrs. Qiu blushed.
âWell, just pretend I didnât say anything. Iâ¦Iâ¦â
âBut I see that Elder Mr. Qiu is not weak. Elder Mrs. Qiu, appropriate is good. Be moderate.â
Zhao Chuchu politely advised Elder Mrs. Qiu.
Elder Mrs. Qiu was speechless.
She then reacted that Zhao Chuchu had misunderstood, so she hurriedly explained, âNo, no, itâs not my husband.â
âThen who are you talking about?â
...n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âItâs my brother. He has been married for many years and still has no children. I have asked my sister-in-law on the side and have found out he is because he is impotentâ¦Mrs. Xie, I know it is very presumptuous, but no one in Yuanjiang County has better medical skills than you. If you feel troubled, just pretend I didnât say it.â
Elder Mrs. Qiuâs face became redder as she spoke, and she felt more and more that she was going too far in saying this much to a woman.
âWell, forget it. I am just too anxious, and I forget that you are also a woman. It is really inappropriate for you to cure this kind of illnessâ¦â
âIn a doctorâs eyes, there are only patients, not men and women. However, before the pulse is taken, there is no guarantee whatsoever. So youâd better let your brother and his wife come over. Then Iâll know exactly what the problem is.â
âIâve been to many doctors, and they all say itâs my brotherâs problem, so how about you just prescribe some medicine for him to take?â
âElder Mrs. Qiu, I only believe in the results of my own diagnosis.â
âBut Mr. Xieâ¦â
âHe would never stop me from healing and saving people.â
âIâm just worried that heâll get angry. It wonât be good for your relationship as a couple.â
Zhao Chuchu smiled. âDa Lang is not the kind of person who is unreasonable. Otherwise, he wouldnât have taught me to read and write and let me read medical books in the first place.â
âIâm the one whoâs too mean. In that case, Iâll have someone send a message back to my brother. Anyway, you will be in the county town during this period, so Iâll come back to find you then.â
âWell, no problem.â
âI have nothing else to ask you, so I wonât delay you. Iâll arrange for someone to send you back.â
âOkay.â
Elder Mrs. Qiu sighed with relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
When Zhao Chuchu returned to the Gan clanâs house, Xie Heng had already gone out.
Gan Yingzhi did not go to the county school that day and was playing chess with Xie Jun at home.
Zhao Chuchu watched from the side and found that the usually obedient and well-behaved Xie Jun played chess in a very different style. He was so decisive and determined that he made Gan Yingzhi not know where to place his chess.
âI lost again.â Gan Yingzhi put down the chess piece. âI really canât tell that Junjun is so good at chess. Iâm so impressed.â
Xie Jun was a little embarrassed. âIâm not really good at chess. I couldnât beat my brother even when he was invisible.â
In the original ownerâs memory, Xie Heng often gawked at the chess board, so it turned out he was playing it with himself.
âThen, when Da Lang returns, Iâll have to play a few rounds with him and learn from him.â Gan Yingzhi smiled. After a pause, he looked at Zhao Chuchu. âAre you going to perform acupuncture on Junjun?â
âYes.â Zhao Chuchu waved the needle bag in her hand.
Xie Junâs smile immediately fell when he heard this.
