164: Chapter 162 Treating Yu 164: Chapter 162 Treating Yu Generally, children can start walking around the age of one.
By the age of two, their walking is usually quite stable.
Zhu Fang’s son, Yu, was already three years and eight months old, yet he couldn’t walk or even take a step, which was indeed a bit abnormal.
Whenever Ye Qingqing and Zhu Fang chatted, they inevitably discussed the child.
As soon as Yu was ntioned, Zhu Fang would furrow her brow in worry and concern.
Holding such a big child outside was admittedly exhausting.
Both she and Tian Jifeng went out to have dinner with Ye Qingqing and Chen Hai, leaving their child temporarily in the care of a nanny.
“Sister Fang, I truly have no other matters this evening, I can surely co over to see Yu.”
“However, I’m not a doctor, and I really don’t understand dical matters.”
“I can only try to see from my areas of expertise if I can discern anything.
I can’t guarantee anything.”
Frowning and pondering for a while, Chen Hai then spoke.
He already owed Zhu Fang and Tian Jifeng a favor due to the issues with Li Dajiang and Zhang Zhongxiao.
He intended to treat them to a al as a gesture of gratitude, but hadn’t even been able to spend the money when, faced with Zhu Fang’s request, he naturally could not refuse.
“Chen, our Yu, because he has never been able to walk, has been to the hospital several tis.”
“Unfortunately, despite nurous examinations, the only conclusion is that the child is very healthy; his inability to walk might be so kind of psychological barrier.”
“Qingqing just ntioned your talents to , even Aunt Song and Uncle Ye hold you in high regard.”
“Your willingness to check on Yu is already a huge favor.
Whether or not you find sothing, we will certainly hold this favor in our hearts,” Zhu Fang hurriedly said, beaming as Chen Hai nodded in agreent.
anwhile, Tian Jifeng quietly drank his wine and ate his dishes.
As his wife Zhu Fang discussed these matters with Chen Hai, he pretended not to see or hear; it really wasn’t his place to speak.
After all, as a mber of the system, he had a promising future.
Getting involved in matters deed superstitious could easily stain his political career.
The dinner was already halfway through.
After Chen Hai agreed to visit Zhu Fang’s ho to check on Yu, they naturally wouldn’t continue to linger in the Plum Blossom Room.
Zhu Fang’s ho was no luxurious mansion.
It was a simple three-bedroom, two-hall apartnt, its special feature being located within the Haizhu City Municipal Committee compound.
When Chen Hai, Ye Qingqing, and Zhu Fang arrived at her ho, they didn’t see Yu; only a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties was watching TV on the sofa in the living room.
As for Zhu Fang’s husband Tian Jifeng, after driving everyone to the compound, he ntioned urgent official business to attend to and did not accompany them back.
“Aunt Liu, where is Yu?
Is he asleep?” Zhu Fang, while ushering Chen Hai and Ye Qingqing to sit on the living room sofa, asked the promptly standing maid.
“Yes!” Aunt Liu nodded, explaining, “Yu was fussing for a long ti when you and Mr.
Ye were not around.
He just fell asleep!”
“Is he already asleep?
Okay, I understand!”
Zhu Fang nodded, then said, “I won’t go out tonight, I’ll watch over Yu.
Aunt Liu, you can go back ho early!”
Although this nanny, Aunt Liu, wasn’t a local, her whole family worked here.
Normally, she wouldn’t stay here at night, but would go back to her own rental ho.
“Alright, ma’am, I’ll co back early tomorrow morning!” Hearing Zhu Fang’s words, Aunt Liu quickly nodded.
She grabbed her personal belongings, inford Zhu Fang, then turned and walked towards the outer door.
“Co, Chen, Qingqing, let’s go to Yu’s room and take a look!” After Aunt Liu left, Zhu Fang beckoned Chen Hai and the two of them to walk into one of the rooms.
A three- or four-year-old child is actually no longer considered small.
In big cities, families with slightly better finances, children of this age, were already able to begin preschool education.
But now, Zhu Fang’s son Yu would fall to the ground as soon as he walked.
Taking him out ant either pushing a stroller or carrying him directly.
Faced with this situation, how could she not worry?
How could she not be frustrated?
Over the past year, she took her son Yu to nurous places seeking dical treatnt, only to find it all in vain.
The best result ca over six months ago when, through a referral, they consulted an elderly traditional Chinese dicine practitioner.
That ti, after several days of treatnt from the elderly doctor, her son Yu staggered and successfully took a few steps.
Unfortunately, by the next day, her son Yu had reverted to his original state, still falling to the ground as soon as he walked.
For this child, Zhu Fang had truly exhausted every effort.
At this mont, Yu was sleeping soundly, his little mouth clicking occasionally.
“The child is here, Chen, could you please help see if you can spot anything?”
Standing by the edge of Yu’s bed, Zhu Fang looked towards Chen Hai, full of hope, and spoke.
“Um,” Chen Hai nodded lightly.
His thod for checking soone’s health condition was quite straightforward.
First, he would use the naked eye, and if nothing abnormal was noticed, he would then employ the power of the Divine Soul, using the leech’s Divine Soul ten compound eyes for a closer observation.
“Chen, how is it?” Seeing Chen Hai continuously staring at her son Yu and not seeing any reaction, Zhu Fang spoke up, tentatively asking.
“I can’t see anything unusual for now.” Frowning, Chen Hai responded.
His soul departure was partial, with only a small part leaving his body, while the majority of his Divine Soul remained inside.
In this state, he still retained a certain control over his physical body and wouldn’t lose contact with his body due to the soul departure.
After his leech Divine Soul had still not observed any abnormalities, his soul had returned to his body.
“Sister Fang, the child is asleep; it’s hard to see anything.”
“How about waking him up?
Have him take a few steps in front of so I can have a better look?” Chen Hai thought for a mont and then suggested.
“Okay!
I’ll try waking him up!” After a slight hesitation, Zhu Fang nodded.
As she called Yu’s na and patted his little cheek, seeing no response from him, she pondered a mont and decided to tickle his little ear with her hair.
It must be said, this thod was quite effective.
At first, Yu rely stretched out his hands and scratched his ear from ti to ti.
But when the itching beca unbearable, he finally opened his eyes and woke up.
“Mommy, are you back?
I want a hug…” Yu yawned and rubbed his eyes.
Seeing Zhu Fang, he was visibly delighted, stretching out his little arms and acting coquettishly.
“Yu, be good!
Co, mommy will hold you down, and you walk a few steps for this uncle to see!” Adoringly looking at her son, Zhu Fang lifted him from the bed.
“Mommy, who is this uncle and this beautiful aunt?
Where’s daddy?
Why don’t I see him?” The little guy’s eyes frequently darted between Chen Hai and Ye Qingqing.
He was articulate, and it seed his intellectual developnt was very good.
“Yu, this uncle has been specially invited by mommy to treat your illness.
Be good, try walking a couple of steps!”
Gently holding Yu under his arms, Zhu Fang carefully placed him on the ground.
‘Thump…’
Just as Yu tried to step forward, he seed to be tripped by sothing and fell to the ground instantly.
“Mommy, sothing is wrapping around Yu’s foot; Yu can’t walk!” The little guy was in pain, tears streaming down, but he endured and did not cry out loud.
PS: This chapter is just over 2400 words.
I was delayed picking up my son from his evening study session, so couldn’t reach 3000 words.
