Wen Ruyu, the mistress, covered her forehead and howled.

"Grandma, are you trying to murder your own grandson?! Ouch, you've ruined my handsome face!"

Hearing Wen Ruyu's pitiful cries, Old Madam Wen felt guilty and said...

"My dear grandson! What brings you in all of a sudden!"

Come here and let me touch your breasts! My precious grandson hasn't found a wife yet, he can't be disfigured!

At this point, the old lady abruptly changed her tone and started playing the victim.

"It's all my fault for having such bad eyes!"

My heart aches more than your face when I can't see my precious grandson!

I'm getting less and less useful as I get older!

What's the point of living?

I can't see my son, I can't see my grandson, and I can't see the flowers in the yard or the fish in the pond! Oh dear, I can't see any of them!

It's pitch black all day long, what's the point of living? It'd be easier to just die...

Wen Ruyu knew perfectly well that his grandmother was trying to gain sympathy, but he still squatted down in front of the old lady like a grandson and coaxed her.

"Grandma, you can't just die!"

My father and second brother are rarely home, my mother only cares about women, and my eldest brother has a house full of women who dote on and care for him. But I only have you to love me. If you die, your precious grandson will be completely neglected and uncared for!

Although Wen Ruyu's banter was terribly affected, Old Madam Wen still fell for it. Hearing this, she sniffed and said...

"Then let Grandma not die yet, let her watch over you for a few more years, God have mercy!"

Wen Ruyu took the opportunity to ask

"Are you still going to take your medicine? Shall I have the maid brew another bowl?"

At the mention of medicine, Old Mrs. Wen said angrily

"Drink my ass! We've already drunk two jugs, and it's all for nothing. I'm not drinking anymore!"

That fiery temper is definitely typical of a northern old lady!

When Wen Ruyu heard that the old lady was no longer drinking, she instructed the maid...

"Fine, if you don't want to drink, then don't. You guys, pack your things and get out!"

Grandma Wen, though throwing a tantrum, immediately felt uneasy when she saw that Wen Ruyu didn't even try to persuade her before ordering the maids to take away the medicine. She said in a pitiful tone...

"My dear grandson, don't you feel any pain from breastfeeding anymore!"

Wen Ruyu hurriedly said

"How could that be? I love Grandma the most!"

"Then why didn't you persuade me to take my medicine!"

"I've been taking this medicine for a long time and it's not working, so I'm not taking it anymore. Grandma, I didn't come back by myself today. I brought a miracle doctor with me. I'll have her take a look at your eyes in a bit. Maybe she'll be able to cure them!"

"What kind of miracle doctor is this!"

Haven't you brought back enough miracle doctors? Which one of them is really that miraculous? I'm still blind, aren't I?

They're all utterly incompetent, but they're all big talkers!

"Grandma, this time it's different. We just came back and saw someone who had been trampled by a horse. He was on the verge of death. Both doctors from Minxintang and Huichuntang said he couldn't be saved. But this miracle doctor took action, and guess what? The person came back to life!"

Really?

"They're even more real than the pearls in our family's treasure trove!"

"Where is this miracle doctor? Bring him here at once!"

"They're standing right in front of you!"

"Dr. Xie, could you please take a look at my grandmother?"

Grandma Wen was surprised that Wen Ruyu had brought her here directly. She was initially taken aback, then embarrassed, and finally slapped Wen Ruyu across the neck.

"You little brat! Are you deliberately trying to embarrass your grandma?!"

Wen Ruyu was caught off guard and received a slap on the neck. She said in a wronged tone...

"This time it's a female doctor, and I figured there's no need to be particular about gender differences, so I just brought her along!"

Speaking of Xie Yushu, Xie Yushu couldn't remain silent any longer and began to speak.

"Xie Yushu greets Madam Wen!"

Qu Xiaodie looked at it and spoke up as well.

"I am Qu Xiaodie, Xie Yushu's sworn sister. Greetings, Madam Wen!"

"Two young girls? What are you up to, mistress?"

"Grandma, don't underestimate this little girl. You can't judge a book by its cover. Her medical skills are amazing!"

Madam Wen hesitated for a moment,

"Then which of you two young ladies is the doctor?"

"It's Miss Xie Yushu!"

Wen Ruyu spoke.

"Sigh! Since you're here, let me take a look!"

Don't let your trip be in vain!

Although Grandma Wen didn't trust that such a young girl could cure the disease, she couldn't bear to refuse her grandson's sincere request and his confident words.

I figured I should just let them take a look. At worst, I'd just have to pay a couple of consultation fees. I've already paid so much, one more won't make a difference!

Xie Yushu knew that the old lady did not trust her, so she didn't say anything more and said that she wanted to get closer to check the old lady's eyes.

Since Madam Wen had agreed to the examination, she didn't stand on ceremony. She nodded, sat up straight, and let Xie Yushu examine her.

There are no advanced instruments here, so we can only rely on experience to make judgments. Fortunately, Xie Yushu worked overtime to the point of collapse in her previous life, so she has no shortage of experience.

Upon closer inspection, Mrs. Wen's eyelids were found to be cloudy, bluish-gray, and completely lacking transparency, almost certainly indicating cataracts.

Cataract surgery is not difficult. In modern times, the latest surgical method is phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation.

However, there is no phacoemulsification or intraocular lens available here, so only the earliest extracapsular cataract extraction can be performed. As for the lens, there are no artificial ones available, so we can only hope that someone is willing to donate one, of course, a paid one would be best.

I just don't know if the old lady can accept this kind of treatment.

Xie Yushu had many thoughts on her mind, so she remained silent. Old Madam Wen waited a while, and seeing that Xie Yushu only fiddled with the paddle a couple of times and then made no further move, she sighed.

"Fine, I never expected a little girl like you to be able to cure me anyway. Take the money and go!"
