That makes sense, though. She's now known as a miracle doctor, capable of bringing the dead back to life, so healing his leg shouldn't be a problem.

A hope welled up in his heart: if he could really stand up and live like a normal person...

"Is she conscious?" Li Xiyue asked, turning the silver needles a few times.

Xu Jianmin snapped out of his thoughts, felt it for a moment, and shook his head.

Li Xiyue had no choice but to continue inserting silver needles into his legs. After inserting a few needles, she would ask him if he could feel anything. She continued inserting needles into both legs, but Xu Jianmin did not react.

Li Xiyue was not surprised. It was normal that there was no reaction. She had been paralyzed for so many years. It was not something that could be cured with just one acupuncture. Such chronic illnesses usually take a long time to heal.

With the patient's cooperation, acupuncture combined with traditional Chinese medicine can still be effective in curing the disease.

Li Xiyue put away the silver needles, took his pulse, and then said to Xu Xiangyang and Gao Xiulan, who were waiting anxiously, "He must exercise and get some sun. Also, he is too thin and needs to improve his nutrition. These things will help him recover."

"So there's a cure?" Gao Xiulan didn't notice anything wrong on her face, and her anxiety subsided.

Li Xiyue said, "I can't draw a conclusion right now. Acupuncture combined with exercise may be effective, but Jianmin's biggest illness is mental illness. Staying indoors all the time and being depressed will do more harm than good to his condition."

Xu Xiangyang said, "We will definitely do as you say."

"I'll go back and write up the prescription first, then bring the medicine over tomorrow, and give him acupuncture while I'm at it," Li Xiyue said before leaving with Uncle Xu.

"Uncle, did you hear that? Your leg can get better." Xu Xiangyang's eyes reddened with excitement.

Gao Xiulan, who was standing to the side, had already shed tears.

Xu Jianmin was also very happy. "Xiangyang, don't worry, I will definitely cooperate with the treatment. I won't be a burden to you anymore."

He looked at Gao Xiulan, his eyes filled with gratitude.

Over the years, his nephew and Gao Xiulan have remained loyal to him. He could forgive his nephew, but Gao Xiulan was someone he had hurt. She didn't hold a grudge or care about her own reputation, and no matter how he tried to drive her away, she wouldn't leave him.

It is said that true friendship is revealed in times of adversity, and he will never forget Gao Xiulan's affection for him.

If he can't get better, so be it; he can't be a burden to her. But if he can get better, he will spend his whole life repaying her.

Seeing the gratitude in his eyes, Gao Xiulan felt that all the hard work over the years had been worthwhile. She went to the kitchen to get a vegetable basket and said, "I'll go to my sister's house to exchange for a chicken. I'll give Jianmin a good meal tonight."

"Take the money and tickets, don't mistreat your sister-in-law's family." Xu Xiangyang took out some money and tickets from his pocket and handed them to her.

Gao Xiulan took it, nodded, and walked out the door with light steps.

Upon arriving at Gao Xiuzhi's house, Gao Xiulan couldn't help but hug her sister and burst into tears as soon as she saw her.

"What's wrong? Did Xu Jianmin kick you out again?" Gao Xiuzhi asked anxiously.

Gao Xiulan shook her head and remained silent, only venting her inner grievances and bitterness.

Gao Xiuzhi patted her back, "If you ask me, you should just give up. Xu Jianmin is only pushing you away for your own good. He doesn't want to hold you back. You also need to think about yourself. You're not getting any younger. Your parents have been worrying themselves sick over you..."

"I know you won't listen to anything we say, but do you really want to live like this for the rest of your life?"

"It's good that Xu Jianmin accepted you, but now that he doesn't, all your efforts are in vain. What are you trying to achieve?"

Gao Xiuzhi's husband, Xu Jianhua, walked over and said, "Alright, stop nagging. Close the door. If people see this, they'll say all sorts of things."

"Does our family have to be afraid of what people say?" Gao Xiuzhi said helplessly.

Xu Jianhua thought about it and agreed, so he ignored the two sisters and went out to work.

"Sister, no." Gao Xiulan had vented her emotions enough and slowly stopped crying. "Jianmin's leg can be cured."

Gao Xiuzhi paused in pouring water, her attention shifting to something else: "He's finally willing to treat me?"

She always felt that Xu Jianmin's leg was curable, but the problem was that he was too passive and never cooperated.

Gao Xiulan nodded. "He met Li Zhiqing once, and I don't know what Li Zhiqing said to him, but he was willing to go out and get treatment."

"I knew it, Li Zhiqing is really capable." Gao Xiuzhi smiled and handed her the water. "If Li Zhiqing had taken action earlier, he might have been able to get out of bed by now."

She smoothed her sister's hair and sighed, "Xiulan, you've finally made it through."
