195 There Are Only Patients
Zhao Chuchu had a good night’s sleep.
The next day, when she woke up, she saw Xie Heng’s faint dark circles under his eyes. She wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to.
“Da Lang, did you go out and steal sothing last night?” Zhao Chuchu asked knowingly.
“No, I went to catch a thief.” Xie Heng did not change his expression.
“Really? Where’s the thief from?”
“The thief was wandering around all night, very cunning.”
“That’s because you’re not proficient.”
Xie Heng rubbed Zhao Chuchu’s hair. “Then I’ll work hard and try to catch the thief soon.”
“You ssed up my hair.” Zhao Chuchu glared at him in anger. She had combed it with great effort.
Xie Heng laughed out loud and lowered his head. “You can rub my hair too.”
Zhao Chuchu looked at Xie Heng’s hair and suddenly ca up with a very odd thought. “He is suitable to be a programr!”
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 n’s hair was stiff, but Xie Heng’s hair was as soft as satin.
Zhao Chuchu couldn’t help but rub Xie Heng’s hair a few more tis, which ssed up his neatly combed hair.
At that mont, the knock on the door interrupted the ambiguous atmosphere.
“Bro, Sis, are you up yet?” 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 Chuchu’s ssy hair, he froze for a mont and imdiately covered his eyes. “Sorry, bro. I shouldn’t have disturbed you guys.”
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. “Can that make you so happy?”
“Junjun is cute. You are so lucky to have such a brother.” Zhao Chuchu stopped laughing.
Xie Heng nodded in agreent. “Junjun is a good boy. I’m also glad to have such a brother.”
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 clan’s house.
Elder Mr. Qiu had already found several skilled craftsn from Yuanjiang County.
After Zhao Chuchu perford acupuncture on Old Mr. Qiu, she took out the drawing and explained to the craftsn how to build each part of the drawing in detail.
These craftsn had decades of experience and understood it as soon as they heard Zhao Chuchu’s explanation. They imdiately said that they could have the wheelchair ready within ten days.
“That’s good. By then, Old Mr. Qiu should be able to sit up,” Zhao Chuchu said.
Elder Mr. Qiu asked, “Is it already done?”
“Yeah, they’re all experienced craftsn, so this won’t be difficult for them.”
“That would be great. Can my dad co out and get around by then?”
“Theoretically, it’s no problem, but let’s wait until then and see how his recovery goes.”
“Yes, you are right. Mrs. Xie, thank you so much.”
Elder Mr. Qiu was pleased.
He was a filial son, so he naturally hoped that Old Mr. Qiu would gradually improve.
“How much should I pay for this wheelchair drawing?” Elder Mr. Qiu asked Zhao Chuchu.
Zhao Chuchu said, “It’s up to you.”
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 couldn’t 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 craftsn understood how to build the wheelchair, Zhao Chuchu was about to leave.
However, Elder Mrs. Qiu called out to Zhao Chuchu. “Wait a mont, Mrs. Xie. Can I have a word with you?”
The others were confused.
Elder Mrs. Qiu didn’t explain but just looked at Zhao Chuchu.
“Okay.” Zhao Chuchu nodded.
She followed Elder Mrs. Qiu outside.
Elder Mrs. Qiu didn’t let anyone else follow her.
“Elder Mrs. Qiu, what’s wrong?”
...
Elder Mrs. Qiu wanted to say sothing but stopped.
“Just say it.”
“Well…it may be a bit presumptuous. I wonder if you can make n more…”
“Vigorous?” Zhao Chuchu directly answered Elder Mrs. Qiu’s question.
Elder Mrs. Qiu blushed.
“Well, just pretend I didn’t say anything. I…I…”
“But I see that Elder Mr. Qiu is not weak. Elder Mrs. Qiu, appropriate is good. Be moderate.”
Zhao Chuchu politely advised Elder Mrs. Qiu.
Elder Mrs. Qiu was speechless.
She then reacted that Zhao Chuchu had misunderstood, so she hurriedly explained, “No, no, it’s not my husband.”
“Then who are you talking about?”
...
“It’s 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 impotent…Mrs. Xie, I know it is very presumptuous, but no one in Yuanjiang County has better dical skills than you. If you feel troubled, just pretend I didn’t say it.”
Elder Mrs. Qiu’s face beca redder as she spoke, and she felt more and more that she was going too far in saying this much to a woman.
“Well, 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 illness…”
“In a doctor’s eyes, there are only patients, not n and won. However, before the pulse is taken, there is no guarantee whatsoever. So you’d better let your brother and his wife co over. Then I’ll know exactly what the problem is.”
“I’ve been to many doctors, and they all say it’s my brother’s problem, so how about you just prescribe so dicine for him to take?”
“Elder Mrs. Qiu, I only believe in the results of my own diagnosis.”
“But Mr. Xie…”
“He would never stop from healing and saving people.”
“I’m just worried that he’ll get angry. It won’t be good for your relationship as a couple.”
Zhao Chuchu smiled. “Da Lang is not the kind of person who is unreasonable. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taught to read and write and let read dical books in the first place.”
“I’m the one who’s too an. In that case, I’ll have soone send a ssage back to my brother. Anyway, you will be in the county town during this period, so I’ll co back to find you then.”
“Well, no problem.”
“I have nothing else to ask you, so I won’t delay you. I’ll arrange for soone to send you back.”
“Okay.”
Elder Mrs. Qiu sighed with relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
When Zhao Chuchu returned to the Gan clan’s 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 ho.
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.
“I lost again.” Gan Yingzhi put down the chess piece. “I really can’t tell that Junjun is so good at chess. I’m so impressed.”
Xie Jun was a little embarrassed. “I’m not really good at chess. I couldn’t beat my brother even when he was invisible.”
In the original owner’s mory, Xie Heng often gawked at the chess board, so it turned out he was playing it with himself.
“Then, when Da Lang returns, I’ll have to play a few rounds with him and learn from him.” Gan Yingzhi smiled. After a pause, he looked at Zhao Chuchu. “Are you going to perform acupuncture on Junjun?”
“Yes.” Zhao Chuchu waved the needle bag in her hand.
Xie Jun’s smile imdiately fell when he heard this.
