"Ruan Zhiqing, I know you can definitely cure my son, right?"

Aunt Luo took her son to the town hospital and the county hospital, but even after emptying their savings, there was no hope of her leg recovering.

She went there full of expectations, only to return disappointed and dejected. Watching her son sink deeper and deeper into despair, Aunt Luo felt extremely distressed.

She thought her son was gone forever, but unexpectedly, she saw hope.

Even though Gu Changfeng was crippled to such an extent, she was able to stand up again, and her limbs looked very agile, just like a normal person. So her son can definitely do it too.

Some time ago, the brigade was spreading rumors that Ruan, the educated youth, had excellent medical skills and even claimed that she could cure Gu Changfeng's illness. At that time, she scoffed at it, but now it seems that she was indeed proven wrong.

"Auntie, I'll do my best."

She had no idea what the condition was like, and she couldn't make any guarantees.

"Comrade, please roll up your trouser legs first, let me check the situation."

Ruan Qiushui brought over a stool so the patient could put his legs on it.

"Eh."

The simple, honest man was a little embarrassed, worried that his dirty shoes and smelly feet would offend the eyes of the urban educated youth.

"It's okay if it can't be cured."

Luo Cheng was worried that Ruan Qiushui would feel psychological pressure.

Anyway, he had gotten used to this inconvenient life, but it was a burden on his widowed mother, who was constantly worried and on the go.

It was his unfilial behavior as a son that led to this.

"Don't say anything discouraging."

Ruan Qiushui bent down to examine the affected area.

"How about it?"

Aunt Luo was a little nervous and clenched the hem of her clothes.

"It can be cured."

Luo Cheng's injury could have recovered normally, but the bone was not set properly at the hospital, which is why he can't put weight on his leg and it hurts every few days.

Furthermore, due to inadequate post-treatment care, some muscle and tendon atrophy occurred.

"Really?" x2

Luo Cheng and his mother held their breath, afraid they had misheard.

"real."

Ruan Qiushui nodded affirmatively.

“In cases like Comrade Luo’s, acupuncture combined with medicated ointments can resolve the issue later on.”

It's not a big problem; there's no need to break and reconnect the bones.

"Late game? What about early game?"

Although Aunt Luo was illiterate, she could still distinguish between before and after.

"Before we begin, we need to restore the atrophied muscles and tendons to normal."

Although Gu Changfeng's condition was more serious than Luo Cheng's, his muscles and tendons were in much better condition, so he had fewer steps to take.

"Aunt Luo, come closer, I'll teach you a massage therapy method. Every night after Comrade Luo soaks his feet in hot water, just massage him for half an hour."

Ruan Qiushui explained the acupoints, the pressure, and the techniques one by one until she was sure that Aunt Luo had memorized them before she finished.

Ruan Qiushui got up and walked towards the medicine cabinet. She took out some oil paper and wrapped seven packets of herbs that were mainly used to remove blood stasis, promote blood circulation, and relax muscles and tendons.

"Take this medicine home, boil one packet of herbs in six bowls of water until reduced to two bowls, drink one bowl in the morning and one in the evening, and combine it with massage therapy. Once you feel a tingling or numb sensation in your legs, you can come to me for further treatment."

Ruan Qiushui was afraid that Aunt Luo might not remember, so she emphasized it to Luo Cheng again.

"Okay, okay."

Aunt Luo nodded repeatedly.

This is a matter of great importance concerning her son's recovery; even if she forgets her own surname, she cannot forget this.

"Ruan girl, look, how much do these medicines cost? And what about the subsequent treatment costs? Should we pay for them as well?"

Aunt Luo took out a stack of small bills from her bosom, which she had wrapped tightly in a small handkerchief.

"Here'll pay two yuan for these medicines; we'll discuss further treatment later."

Based on market prices, these seven packets of medicine are quite affordable at two yuan.

"Then Auntie will give you two pieces first."

She thought Ruan Qiushui would ask for an exorbitant amount, and she had already decided which family to borrow money from, but she didn't expect her to be so fair.

"Dr. Ruan, we'll be going now."

Luo Cheng picked up a wooden stick to support himself, nodded to Ruan Qiushui, and followed his widowed mother outside.

"Niece-in-law, are you there? It's urgent!"

Gu Xianjin rushed in and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ruan Qiushui at the clinic.

"Quickly, come with me to the educated youth center."

Gu Xianjin paused for half a minute, and after Ruan Qiushui had packed her medicine kit, she ran to the clinic again.

"Uncle, what's the matter that's so urgent?"

I wonder who has fallen seriously ill this time?

"The new female educated youth got into a fight with Zeng Lulu and suddenly fainted. They tried to wake her up by pinching her philtrum but couldn't."

Gu Xianjin spoke as he ran, almost out of breath.

When Gu Xianjin first saw the girl, he thought she was quite robust. Who knew that she would lose consciousness after he hadn't seen her for a while?

He was scolded by his superiors for a long time because of An Qin's death. If this educated youth also gets into trouble, he will definitely be in deep trouble.

"Again, new educated youth? This must be the third batch of educated youth to arrive this year."

Fortunately, I stopped living in the educated youth settlement a long time ago, otherwise my life would definitely be in chaos.

"Ruan Zhiqing, you've finally arrived."

He Yongjun frowned deeply, feeling utterly hopeless.

Finally, Qin Qiaoqiao left, and Ruan Qiushui, Chen Fenglan, and An Qin moved out of the educated youth settlement. Only Liu Pandi and Zeng Lulu remained. He thought things would be peaceful for a long time, but on the very first day the new educated youth arrived, such a big incident occurred.

He was already exhausted from being in charge of the educated youth.

"It's not my fault. She collapsed on her own. I didn't touch her."

Zeng Lulu took the day off specifically so she could rest and get some sleep at home.

Who knew that the new female educated youth would start nitpicking as soon as she entered the room, and even demand that she give up her spot on the kang (heated brick bed). Why should she?

The two did have a verbal argument afterwards, but they didn't fight. This guy is trying to pin the blame on her, and he thinks he's in the right?

"Get out of the way."

Gu Xianjin glared at Zeng Lulu, thinking, "She's a troublesome one too."

"Niece-in-law, come and take a look."

Gu Xianjin pushed Zeng Lulu aside and let Ruan Qiushui go in to see.

That was the girl's room; it wasn't appropriate for a grown man like him to go in.

"Um?"

Ruan Qiushui walked in and took a look, raising an eyebrow.

Isn't that a coincidence? This new female educated youth is none other than Wei Weiwei, her best friend who swindled her out of five hundred yuan and a large package.

Just when Ruan Qiushui was feeling frustrated and had nowhere to vent her anger, this person delivered himself right to her doorstep.

Looking at the acupuncture kit in her medicine box, I felt it would be a disservice not to settle this score with her.

If she hadn't swindled the original owner out of her money and supplies, and hadn't exaggerated the horrors of going to the countryside, the original owner wouldn't have been so worried and fearful, and wouldn't have suffered a sudden heart attack and died.

She can still live a leisurely life in the 21st century, with no worries about food or drink.

She owes Ruan Qiushui a life.

"Niece-in-law, how is it? Is there any cure?"

Gu Xianjin stood outside the door and shouted inside.

"Don't worry, it's just a case of low blood sugar."

Ruan Qiushui first took out a bottle of dark red medicine, opened Wei Weiwei's mouth, and forced her to swallow it.

Next, he opened the acupuncture kit, took out the thickest and longest silver needle, and inserted it directly into Wei Weiwei's middle finger.
