After returning, Old Man Qi was very curious about what had happened to Wang Shuilian that made her unwilling to talk about it.
"Tell me about it, I'd like to know too," said Old Qi. He had been listening to them talk the whole time and was most curious about this.
“Back then, when you weren’t home, Wang Shuilian worked at the county hospital. She and her younger brother, after completing their apprenticeships, also worked there with their father. However, Wang Shuilian’s brother wasn’t very skilled and made a misdiagnosis, prescribing the wrong medication. But because Wang Shuilian’s father was there, nothing serious happened. But after Old Dr. Wang passed away, there was no one to help him, and he made another misdiagnosis, killing someone. So Wang Shuilian’s brother demanded that she take the blame. Wang Shuilian refused, but her mother threatened suicide to force her to agree. So Wang Shuilian was forced to take the blame. Although she wasn’t sentenced, she lost her job in the county and was fired,” Grandma Qi said. “That mother went too far.”
"Yes, they're both my children, how can I let my daughter take the blame for my son!" Old Man Qi said indignantly. "And then what happened?"
"Later, Wang Shuilian could only work as an itinerant doctor in the countryside, collecting herbs in the mountains. She got injured there and was rescued by her current husband," said Grandma Qi. "Wang Shuilian was also very talented, and her medical skills quickly spread. Since our place is far from the county town, people would go to Wang Shuilian for treatment if they had a headache or fever. Like her father, Wang Shuilian would go with anyone who came to her, no matter what time it was. There aren't many doctors who can be so compassionate!"
"Not bad, not bad!" Old Qi nodded repeatedly.
All of Grandma Qi's and Old Man Qi's words reached Huo Yingjie's ears.
Huo Yingjie's impression of Wang Shuilian improved somewhat after her arrival.
Although this woman had some selfish motives, her ability to embody the compassion of a healer is truly rare.
In that case, Huo Yingjie decided to give Wang Shuilian a rare medical book containing prescriptions that have now disappeared, hoping that she could better treat and save lives.
On the one hand, it was to express his gratitude to Wang Shuilian, and on the other hand, it was to pray for the well-being of his two children.
Of course, Huo Yingjie didn't give it directly to Wang Shuilian. Instead, he implanted a spell in her mind. That night, when Wang Shuilian was resting and dreaming, her father told her that there was a box three feet under the bed in the old Wang family house, containing a medical book. This was her compensation, and she didn't need to tell the Wang family.
Wang Shuilian had a dream and woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, unable to fall back asleep for a long time.
The next morning, without even eating breakfast and ignoring the muddy road, he walked twenty miles to Wangjia Village.
My mother and younger brother live together in the county town. The Wang family's old house is now uninhabited.
Wang Shuping often came over to clean. She had the key to this place, so she hurriedly opened the door, locked the gate, and went straight to the room where her father used to live. She climbed under the bed, took out the small shovel she had prepared, and dug with all her might.
Three feet underground.
Wang Shuilian spent the entire morning on it, and just when she was about to give up, her small shovel hit a wooden box.
Wang Shuilian's eyes lit up, and she believed that this dream was real.
Her father, in heaven, protected her and passed on the Wang family's ancestral medical skills to her.
Ignoring her hunger, Wang Shuilian dug even faster.
They were two small boxes, each about the size of a palm, with no locks, only a rusty metal clasp.
Wang Shuilian was very excited; it was exactly the same as in her dream, and her father hadn't lied to her.
Thinking back to the love her father had for her when he was alive, Wang Shuilian was deeply moved, and the resentment and grievances she felt for her mother and younger brother lessened.
"Father, don't worry, I will definitely carry forward the medical skills of our Wang family." Wang Shuilian said, "As for my younger brother, he has been lazy since he was a child and has poor comprehension. I will follow your instructions and not tell him the source of this book."
Wang Shuilian knew her younger brother's limitations; if he got his hands on the prescription, he would likely cause trouble again.
In the past, the older sister took the blame for her younger brother; what about in the future?
Rather than letting him cause trouble, it's better to let him be a small doctor in the county hospital, where he won't achieve great things but also won't cause any major problems.
Wang Shuilian, tears streaming down her face, wiped them away, packed the books, and then filled the soil back in, making it look exactly the same as before. She then pretended to clean the house and yard as before.
After noon, Wang Shuilian left with her medical books.
After returning home, Wang Shuilian secretly made a copy and kept the original in the small box, hiding it in the dirt under her bed. She planned to pass it on to her two children who were studying medicine. But not now. Wang Shuilian had read the book; it seemed simple, but only extensive medical experience could reveal its profound mysteries.
Wang Shuilian's more than 20 years of medical experience has only allowed her to grasp half of the essence; the other half requires her to continue to work hard and learn.
From that day on, apart from necessary house calls, Wang Shuilian spent her time at home reading medical books.
The two children are also studying diligently, preparing for their upcoming exams.
Wang Shuilian's husband is a very honest and kind man. Knowing that his wife and children work very hard, he took over all the housework to make things easier for his family.
At the same time, after reading medical books, Wang Shuilian learned not only about medical books, but also about the great love between people.
All those narrow-minded thoughts and ideas from before have been swept away, and I will never let personal feelings cloud my judgment again.
This is also the secret that Huo Yingjie left in this medical book.
Only by understanding the selfless compassion of a healer can one grasp the profound meaning of the entire book.
He Tiantian has woken up and is eating a tasteless postpartum meal.
The two little ones were asleep, their little fists clenched tightly, their eyes closed, and their little mouths occasionally moving.
The two children look very alike, but the thoughtful Wang Shuping used a pink swaddle for the older sister and a blue swaddle for the younger brother so that they wouldn't be mistaken for each other. This would prevent He Tiantian from feeding one of the children twice until they were full while the other went hungry without eating a single bite.
Huo Yingjie came in from outside. As a new father, he was all smiles and beaming with pride.
"What's the matter that makes you so happy?" He Tiantian asked with a smile. Ever since she woke up, she had seen Huo Yingjie in a state of excitement.
“I’m a father now, and a father of two, of course I’m happy,” Huo Yingjie said. “I’ll send a telegram to my parents, grandparents and other family members tomorrow to tell them the good news.”
He Tiantian smiled and said, "Now you have to help with everything inside and outside the house. You can't just be happy and not do any work! There are some diapers that have just been changed over there. Go and wash them quickly. You can't let my mother wash them all the time."
"Yes, sir!" Huo Yingjie readily agreed. What was washing diapers for a child?
