Chapter 132 Eating the Melon and Understanding the Whole Story

Jiang Ning put away the needles and said calmly, "Avoid extreme joy or sorrow."

When she speaks as a doctor, her tone is calm and cool, which inexplicably makes people believe her.

Upon seeing that the man was awake, Shen Bingwei suddenly bypassed Shen Mo and pushed Jiang Ning aside, then immediately helped the old man up from the ground with concern, saying, "Dad, it's so good that you're alright."

After helping the old man up, they were extremely attentive, helping him sit down and serving him tea and water.

Jiang Ning was observing the old man's condition when she was suddenly pulled by someone, causing her to stumble. Fortunately, Shen Mo reacted quickly and caught her shoulder.

Shen Mo hurriedly asked, "Wife, are you alright?"

It was obvious at a glance that she had only been pushed and hadn't suffered any real harm, but Shen Mo was still worried that she might be hurt in the slightest.

Once he was sure Jiang Ning was alright, his gaze fell on Shen Bingwei with a chilling coldness.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen also saw it. Mr. Shen, who was always straightforward, grabbed the second uncle of the Shen family who was trying to curry favor with her, and said, "Shen Bingwei, you almost made my daughter-in-law fall. Shouldn't you apologize?"

Shen Bingwei was still trying to curry favor with the old man when he heard this. He paused and glanced at Jiang Ning.

He was adept at reading people's expressions and guessed Jiang Ning's identity at a glance.

He said to Shen's father, "Brother, I only pulled my niece-in-law in a moment of panic. It's not appropriate for me, an elder, to apologize to a junior."

"Inappropriate? You almost hurt my daughter-in-law, that's inappropriate. Apologize." Father Shen's words were neither humble nor arrogant, nor did he let it go. He had a quick temper and wanted to resolve things on the spot.

Shen Bingwei was usually quite intimidated by his father, but he looked helplessly at the old man sitting in the main seat and said, "Dad, how can an elder apologize to a junior? Please say something fair. If you think I should apologize, I will apologize immediately."

Upon hearing this, Shen's father's face immediately darkened.

Shen Bingwei has always been like this: he's smart but never uses his intelligence for good. He always tries to appease his father and get him to uphold justice.

Sure enough, the old man frowned. "In our family, there's no reason for elders to apologize to younger generations."

Mr. Shen frowned, and before he could say anything more, Mrs. Shen stopped him.

Mother Shen shook her head, signaling to Father Shen not to lose his temper.

They have another purpose for coming today.

Shen's father had a bad temper, but he could distinguish right from wrong, which was why Shen's mother chose him.

As for this younger brother-in-law, he used to be a sly one, with a silver tongue, which caused Shen's father to suffer a lot of injustices back then.

If this incident causes a public embarrassment for everyone, it might not be so easy for them to get their compensation back.

That was for their daughter-in-law; they couldn't let this small matter delay it.

"Dad, Ningning is fine." Shen Mo asked Jiang Ning for permission before saying this.

However, once the old man got involved, things couldn't continue escalating.

Father Shen held his breath and said in a muffled voice to the old man, "Dad, we're back. Shouldn't we get our compensation money back?"

The old man ignored Shen's father's words and looked at Jiang Ning standing next to Shen Mo. He had seen her putting away the silver needles earlier and guessed that she was able to wake up because of this little girl.

The old man's slightly cloudy eyes darted around the Shen family before he asked Jiang Ning, "Are you Shen Mo's wife?"

Jiang Ning replied calmly and confidently, "Yes, I am."

"You were the one who woke me up just now, weren't you? Not bad, Shen Mo married a good wife." The old man leaned back. "But you shouldn't overuse these folk remedies. What if you don't do it right and it kills someone? It's better to learn Western medicine."

Jiang Ning looked completely bewildered.

She suddenly found the old man quite interesting; did he mean to look down on traditional Chinese medicine?

"Grandpa, the remedy that saved your life just now was this amateurish folk method of mine," Jiang Ning said slowly. "You think Western medicine is better, so why didn't the Western doctor come to save you just now?"

Old Master Shen choked.

Just then, a woman's voice came from outside, "Grandpa, I'm back."

Jiang Ning looked up and saw a woman in her twenties walk in from outside.

As soon as Shen Bingwei saw the woman enter, he immediately said, "Pianran, you're back. Your grandfather fainted just now. We need to take him to the hospital where you work for a check-up as soon as possible."

While in the car, Shen Mo gave a brief introduction to his second uncle's family.

My second uncle's wife is named Qin Fang. They have an eldest son named Shen Anbang, who is married with two children, and a daughter named Shen Pianran, who is unmarried and currently works at a hospital in the capital.

Upon hearing this, Shen Pianran immediately asked anxiously, "Grandpa, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly faint?"

"It's all because he was angry." Shen Bingwei sighed and looked at his most promising daughter.

Upon hearing his pointed remark, Shen Pianran immediately looked at her uncle's family beside her. She frowned and said, "Uncle, Grandpa is getting old now, and his health isn't as good as it used to be. He can't stand the slightest bit of anger."

After saying that, she immediately looked at the old man and said in a tone that was half accusatory and half coquettish, "Grandpa, you can't get angry so easily. If something bad happens to you because of anger, who will love your granddaughter?"

"You're so good with words." The old man tapped Shen Pianran's head lightly. His tone sounded like a reprimand, but it actually carried a hint of doting affection.

The old man had spent half his life in the military and was always strong-willed and never backed down. When his children spoke to him in such a gentle and coaxing tone, he couldn't get angry at all.

Unlike his eldest son's family, they are either as stubborn as him, or they are all taciturn and never say a kind word.

Shen Mo's wife is quite sarcastic, and I don't know where she learned those low-class folk remedies.

Shen Bingwei, as if suddenly remembering something, said to Shen Pianran, "By the way, Pianran, your grandfather fainted earlier, and it was your second cousin-in-law who woke him up using that old acupuncture method. I wonder if that method will affect your grandfather's health..."

Before Uncle Shen could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Father Shen, whose face was extremely ugly. "Shen Bingwei, what do you mean by that? Who are you implying here? My daughter-in-law's medical skills are unparalleled. So many people are begging her to treat their illnesses. I don't want her to suffer."

Ginger and lemon.......

She turned to look at Shen Mo. Her father had always been taciturn, but she hadn't expected him to have such fighting power.

The compliment was a bit too much, making her feel a little embarrassed.

"Dad's right," Shen Mo said softly. "You're the best, my wife."

Jiang Ning glared at him.

She learned a great deal from her visit to the Shen family today. Old Master Shen is getting old and has feudalistic male ideas. As long as he is still alive, his word is law in the Shen family.

Mr. Shen was stubborn and did not easily back down. He was not the type to say a few soft words. As for Mr. Shen the Second, he could easily flatter and fawn over his father, so he could coax the stern old man into not arguing with him.
