Chapter 36 Granddaughter is a Little Miracle Doctor

The 28-inch truck was moving very fast, and soon arrived in front of the courtyard with blue bricks and large tiles.

As soon as I walked to the door, I smelled a strong aroma of meat coming from inside.

Ruan Fu sniffed subconsciously.

Uncle Chen Qiang smiled when he saw this. "Fuzi, your grandma knew you were coming today, so she specially stewed some pork ribs. Doesn't it smell good?"

Ruan Fu nodded heavily.

Chen Qiang shouted towards the courtyard, "Mom, I brought Fuzi back."

Immediately, the sound of footsteps was heard in the yard, and Grandma Xie Dongmei came over with a cane and a smile on her face.

"Fuzi is here."

Having not seen each other for many years, Ruan Fu felt a little embarrassed and called out "Grandma" in a clear voice.

Xie Dongmei smiled from ear to ear, and without asking any more questions, she said softly, "I'm glad you're back. Grandma has stewed some bones. Come in quickly."

Ruan Fu followed behind and entered the room.

The small yard is not big, and some ordinary fruits and vegetables are grown there. In front of it stand three large green brick and tile houses.

Ruan Fu was a little surprised when she saw this. These days, everyone in Lotus Village lived in mud houses, but her uncle actually built a big house made of blue bricks and tiles. It seemed that the rumors were not unreliable. Chen Qiang really made money.

There were several dishes on the table, including fish and meat, which were delicious.

The family sat down at the dinner table.

Xie Dongmei laughed and kept putting ribs into Ruan Fu's bowl.

"Eat more, baby is too thin."

Ruan Fu looked at the sumptuous meal in front of her and almost cried.

When she was at Ruan's house, she could only eat leftovers. Now that she has earned money, she can eat meat outside, but it still doesn't feel like home.

"Grandma, you eat too."

Xie Dongmei had no time to eat. She kept stroking Ruan Fu's thin arms, her face full of heartache.

Fuzi looks so much like her mother Yingzi, they are simply carved from the same mold. Thinking of her deceased daughter, Xie Dongmei couldn't help but tear up.

"Fuzi, you have such a cruel heart. You haven't thought of visiting grandma in all these years."

Xie Dongmei blamed him with her mouth, but her eyes were full of tenderness.

Ruan Fu felt guilty and said in a small voice, "Grandma, I was wrong."

Chen Qiang laughed, "Why are you talking about this at the dinner table? Fuzi, just eat your meat. Now that you're here with your uncle, this will be your home from now on."

Ruan Fu held Xie Dongmei's hand. The old lady's palm was rough but warm.

"Grandma, I will make more money in the future and be filial to you."

Xie Dongmei shook her head gently, her eyes full of love, "Grandma doesn't want money, as long as you are healthy, Fuzi, I will be satisfied."

Chen Qiang had a smile on his face. Now that his niece was back, their family was reunited. He no longer had any worries and could focus on earning money to support his family.

When Ruan Fu was with them, she felt her heart calmed down.

From then on, I had a family and was no longer lonely and helpless.

I couldn't help but tell Chen Qiang about my future plans: "Uncle, school won't start until a month later. I have a small business deal with the textile factory. I will send them some mulberry leaves every day for the whole month."

Xie Dongmei was surprised when she heard this. Earning money was a man's job. Nowadays, there were no girls running around outside doing small business.

"Fuzi, if you need money, ask your uncle to give it to you. It's so tiring for a girl to run around outside."

Ruan Fu shook her head. "Grandma, my uncle is good to me, and I'm grateful to him in my heart. But I'm a grown-up now, with my own hands and feet. I can't keep spending my uncle's money. I can support myself now, and when I make more money in the future, I'll buy you a big house, and we'll never be apart."

Xie Dongmei was very happy to be coaxed by Ruan Fu, "You are just like your mother, very sweet-mouthed."

When she talked about her deceased daughter, she became a little emotional and coughed heavily several times.

Seeing this, Ruan Fu quickly put down the chopsticks in her hand and reached out to take the other person's pulse. The beating was disordered and the pulse was deep.

She also noticed the stiffness in the other person's palm joints, and she squeezed it harder, her brows suddenly furrowed.

When Chen Qiang saw her actions, his eyes widened instantly.

"Fuzi, what are you doing?"

Ruan Fu shook her head and didn't explain directly. Instead, she asked Xie Dongmei, "Grandma, have you been having trouble sleeping recently? You often wake up in the middle of the night coughing."

Xie Dongmei was a little surprised. "Fuzi, how did you know? People have all kinds of problems when they get old. It's fine during the day, but at night I cough really badly."

Ruan Fu withdrew her hand with a serious expression.

"Grandma, were you sick some time ago?"

"Mom, have you ever been sick?" Chen Qiang was puzzled. "How come I didn't know about this?"

Xie Dongmei's expression became more and more surprised. Her granddaughter must be a fairy, so how could she know this?

Seeing her reaction, Ruan Fu knew she had guessed correctly, so she said, "Grandma, you have a chronic cold. It's been delayed for a long time and has caused mild pneumonia, which is causing your night coughs. I'll go gather some herbs tomorrow and boil them for you. As for the stiffness in your hand joints, it's probably mild synovitis. I'll help loosen your bones and massage your acupuncture points, and it will feel much better."

Chen Qiang was stunned when he heard this. "Fuzi, where did you learn all this from?"

Given the character of the Ruan family, they would definitely not let Fuzi study medicine.

"There was a male educated youth in Lotus Village who used to be a doctor in the city. I learned from him for a few days, so I think I'm right."

Some things are hard to explain, so Ruan Fu could only use this excuse to get away with it.

In fact, it sounds very lame. Medicine is an industry with extremely high professional requirements. How can it be learned in a few days?

Fortunately, Chen Qiang and Xie Dongmei did not think about it too much, but instead expressed surprise.

Doctors are absolutely rare these days. Even barefoot doctors in the countryside are in great demand. Now that I have someone at home who can treat illnesses, I won’t have to ask anyone for help in the future.

Ruan Fu stood up and began to vigorously massage the Yangchi acupoint on Xie Dongmei's hand.

Her movements were skillful and her strength was just right.

After about half an hour, the old man's stiff knuckles could actually be stretched out.

"Fuzi, what are you doing?"

Xie Dongmei stared at her palms with an expression of great joy. Her joints had been stiff for many years and she had thought that they would remain like this for the rest of her life. Now that she found that they could be recovered, it was something she had never dared to dream of.

"Grandma, this is called acupoint massage. If you persist for a month, the stiffness in your knuckles will be gone!" Ruan Fu explained with a smile. She took some dried honeysuckle to make tea and handed it to Xie Dongmei. "This tea can also reduce inflammation and swelling. Grandma, drink it first. I'll find some more herbs tomorrow and I'll definitely make you completely better."

"Okay, grandma believes in Fuzi," Xie Dongmei saw the effect with her own eyes, and her original doubts disappeared, and she couldn't stop smiling.

My granddaughter is a little miracle doctor. This is really great news. The Ruan family is really blind. They don’t want such a good girl. They will definitely suffer in the future.
