Chapter 65: Don't pollute the air here.
Xu Qiaofeng went out with a dark face.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Ning Xin sitting on the edge of the flower bed outside, casually showing the handprint on her face.
He would tell everyone that this was Captain Xu's wife, and that she was beaten by her younger sister, Ning Tang.
"Brother-in-law."
"You're finally out! I haven't eaten breakfast yet. Hurry up and take me to the cafeteria to get something to eat."
Xu Qiaofeng frowned: "Ning Xin, are you out of your mind?"
“I remember saying to Zhang Yanfei at the hospital before that Tangtang and you are not related by blood, so don’t call me brother-in-law.”
"When I think about the suffering Tangtang endured under your mother's care since she was little, I wish I could throw you into the sea to feed the fish right now."
Ning Xin was so frightened by the man's imposing presence that her legs went weak.
I had heard Zhang Yanfei say before that Xu Qiaofeng was very fierce and had no human touch whatsoever.
He wasn't lying when he said he wanted to throw himself into the sea to feed the fish; he meant it.
"Brother-in-law, I can be your sister-in-law, how could you treat me like this?" Ning Xin felt extremely wronged.
In her previous life, even though the man didn't like her after she married Xu Qiaofeng, he never stared at her so fiercely.
Ning Xin's grievance wasn't feigned; she genuinely felt that something was slowly slipping out of her control...
Could it be that Xu Qiaofeng, this cold-hearted man, has truly fallen in love with Ning Tang?
But then she thought about it again. This was at the entrance of the military base, with so many people watching. Before, when she came to see Zhang Yanfei, even though he always beat her at home, he pretended to be a loving husband.
That's right, Xu Qiaofeng was definitely faking it too!
Like Zhang Yanfei, he was afraid of being criticized by his old boss!
Ning Xin's mood immediately improved, and she even softened her voice and said coquettishly, "Brother-in-law, look at my face, Ning Tang hit me here."
"Did Tangtang make the call?"
"Yes, it took a lot of effort."
Seeing Xu Qiaofeng's furrowed brows, Ning Xin assumed he believed her and immediately resumed her act of being a good person.
"Oh dear, I believe my sister didn't mean it; she was just angry. Please don't argue with her because of me when you get back..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Qiaofeng interrupted him coldly.
"You mean, the handprint on your face, half the length of a shoe sole, was made by Tangtang?"
Ningxin's heart skipped a beat.
He subconsciously touched the mark on his face and stubbornly said, "Yes, she hit me with her hand, and she hit me very hard!"
She didn't dare meet the man's deep gaze.
There were so many old women and men beating her at the hospital entrance; it was impossible to tell who they were.
Xu Qiaofeng stared at the red mark on Ning Xin's face with a half-smile, a cold arc curving his lips.
His deep voice was full of sarcasm: "Tangtang's hand is only half the size of mine. I hold it every day, so I know it better than you do."
"Even if she was really angry, she wouldn't have hit you hard enough to leave a mark shaped like a shoe sole. Your mark looks more like you were slapped with a shoe insole, doesn't it?"
These words were spoken.
Ning Xin's face turned pale instantly.
She suddenly remembered that someone had indeed taken off their shoes at the hospital entrance earlier...
Just thinking about that big black fingernail.
Ning Xin couldn't stop gagging, and eventually she leaned against a tree and vomited.
The soldiers passing by, who were initially just curious, couldn't help but chuckle when they heard this.
Everyone knows Captain Xu has a sharp tongue, but no one has ever seen him roast someone so precisely, making the woman on the other end feel awkward in an instant.
Xu Qiaofeng felt disgusted when he saw Ning Xin vomiting while leaning against the tree trunk.
"Once you've vomited enough, leave quickly and don't pollute the air here."
Ning Xin vomited until tears streamed down her face. Hearing this, she was both angry and anxious. She pointed at Xu Qiaofeng and shouted, "You just wait!"
If she can't touch Xu Qiaofeng, surely she can't touch that little bitch Ning Tang!
She's definitely going to remember this grudge!
"You dare to touch Tangtang?" Xu Qiaofeng seemed to see right through Ning Xin.
With long, straight legs, she took two steps forward, and the oppressive aura surrounding her made everyone afraid to look up.
"I'll say it one last time: Tangtang doesn't have a sister like you, and you shouldn't cause trouble in her name anymore."
"I'm letting you go today, but if I catch you causing trouble for Tangtang again, I'll send you straight to the police station."
After saying that, Xu Qiaofeng left with a cold face.
Ning Xin was terrified.
My whole body was trembling.
She knew that Xu Qiaofeng was a man of his word, and if she continued to make a scene and Zhang Yanfei found out, she would be in deep trouble.
He could only grit his teeth, cover his face, and leave the military base in a disheveled state.
As she passed the sentry post, the two sentries gave her a special look, their eyes filled with barely concealed mockery and curiosity.
Ning Tang! Ning Tang!
It's because of that bitch again!
Ning Xin was furious. Why was it that every bad thing or embarrassing thing she encountered after her rebirth was caused by that bitch Ning Tang?
"Just as Mom was right, that little slut Ning Tang is my nemesis! This bitch should be sold to some remote mountain village, tied up in a cowshed by an old bachelor, and forced to have babies every year! To be an unwanted sow!"
Ning Xin cursed as she walked towards home.
The strange looks from passersby made her instinctively cover her face, not daring to look up and meet their gaze.
After walking a few steps, I bumped into someone.
A woman's arrogant voice rang out from above: "Are you blind?"
"Who are you calling blind!" Ning Xin retorted instinctively.
"Are you blind?! The road is so wide, and you still bump into me. What else could you be but blind?"
When Wenya looked up and saw Ningxin's face, she swallowed the rest of her curses.
Isn't this Ning Tang's nominal older sister? What's she doing here? Did she go to see the third brother?
Wenya observed it carefully.
Ning Xin was found to be disheveled, with marks on her face and a gloomy expression, clearly indicating that she had encountered some trouble with the third brother.
Given the third brother's protective nature, he might even argue with her.
Wenya came today because she wanted to have a good talk with Xu Qiaofeng.
She had just come out of the police station when the police said that if she wanted to resolve the matter peacefully, she had to settle it privately.
As for how to settle this privately, that's up to her.
Life at home was difficult; her parents were always giving her the cold shoulder, and her brother and sister-in-law were even planning to get a divorce. Unable to stop Xu Qiaoyan, Wenya tried to find Xu Qiaofeng instead.
Seeing Ning Xin's defiant and disheveled appearance, Wen Ya suddenly had an idea.
"I have a business deal that's good for both of us, are you interested?"
...
Military hospital.
As soon as I sat down in the office, a nurse told me that there were many patients queuing outside.
Compared to other Western medicine departments in the hospital that offer quick results, the Traditional Chinese Medicine department has become somewhat less popular in the past two years.
Since Tian Guoan left last time, he has spread the word about Ning Tang in just a few days.
Now all of Grandpa Xu's old friends know that a particularly talented young woman has come to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the military hospital.
After a few acupuncture treatments, the old man's leg pain was gone.
Even my chronic insomnia has improved.
More importantly, this girl is beautiful, and she's the wife of Xu Qiaofeng, that troublemaker from the Xu family! She's also carrying the Xu family's only great-grandchild!
This was explosive news for everyone who knew that the male members of the Xu family were infertile.
As soon as the hospital opened, Tian Guoan brought a bunch of familiar faces to register and queue up.
Ning Tang had just taken out the gold needles and disinfected them.
Looking up, I saw Tian Guoan leading five or six retired cadres in dark green military uniforms toward the clinic.
"Ning girl, I've finally found you!"
"Thanks to you all this time, my leg doesn't hurt anymore, and I don't even need crutches or anyone to help me climb the stairs!"
Tian Guoan strode in with much more agility than last time.
The smile on his face was particularly warm.
To Ning Tang's surprise, he pulled out two cans of yellow peaches from his clothes.
Tian Guoan said, "You're pregnant now, it's not good for you to eat too cold. I warmed you up on the way here, so don't worry about eating."
"This time, I brought quite a few brothers with me. They are all sickly, so I'll have to trouble you with them."
Ning Tang quickly stood up and was about to greet them when she saw a head peeking in from outside the consultation room. It was the hospital director.
He was holding several teacups, a fawning smile on his face: "Dr. Ning, are you busy right now? May I come in?"
These words were ostensibly spoken to Ning Tang.
In fact, his eyes were always on the several retired cadres sitting in the chairs.
These are the people above who are known for their iron fist. If he can curry favor with them, his entire family, for three generations, will rise to prominence!
Ning Tang glanced at Tian Guoan subconsciously.
Tian Guoan looked up at the dean and said in a calm tone, "Since you are Ning's superior, then come in."
Upon hearing this, the dean's smile became almost obsequious.
He hurriedly brought in a teacup, muttering, "Oh my, oh my, it's all thanks to Dr. Ning, otherwise I would never have had the chance to meet such important people as you."
"Mr. Tian, this is freshly harvested tea this year. Please have a taste."
Tian Guoan didn't take it, and glanced at Ning Tang: "Ning girl, can I drink it?"
Ever since Ning Tang healed her leg, Tian Guoan no longer listens to anyone but Ning Tang, not even the Emperor himself.
"Grandpa Tian, it's alright for you to drink a little."
"But you can't drink tea while taking the medicine," Ning Tang said with a smile.
Tian Guoan nodded.
He then took the teacup and took a small sip.
Those around Ning Tang, having received no response, sat even more upright, not daring to touch anything.
The dean's eyes lit up as he watched from the side.
Everyone knows that Old Tian is stubborn; he'll do the very thing he's told not to do.
As soon as Ning Tang opened her mouth, he actually listened to her.
It seems that Dr. Ning is even more important than he imagined!
Old Tian put down his teacup and nudged Jinlong, who was sitting next to him, signaling him to speak quickly.
Jinlong looked at Ning Tang and said, "I heard from Lao Tian that you are very good at acupuncture and can cure anything."
"When I was young, I went to the battlefield for the first time, and ever since then I have suffered from insomnia. Every time I close my eyes, all I see are my dead brothers."
"I've had this illness for almost decades now. I've seen all kinds of doctors, including Chinese and Western doctors, and even foreign doctors, but nothing has worked."
After listening to Jinlong's words, Ning Tang's smile turned somewhat heavy.
She had previously read about this type of illness in a book in her online space; it was a sequela of war trauma.
I am restless and unable to sleep at night.
Even more serious cases involve decomposing oneself and relying on frantic eating to feel alive in this world.
Ning Tang frowned: "Please sit down first, let me take your pulse and check your blood and qi."
Upon hearing this, Jinlong sat down.
Ning Tang placed her fingertips on his wrist.
Five minutes later, he raised his head.
"Mr. Jin, your pulse is weak and your liver fire is still strong, which is caused by long-term mental and emotional depletion."
"Insomnia is just a superficial problem. The real problem is that you haven't overcome the hurdle in your heart."
"Acupuncture can help calm your mind, but to truly get better, you still have to rely on yourself to gradually resolve your inner conflicts."
Jinlong was stunned.
Unexpectedly, this young girl with a still innocent face could tell he had a mental block just by taking his pulse.
Ning Tang also knew that her inner conflict couldn't be resolved overnight.
"Please lie down first. I'll give you a few acupuncture needles to calm your mind today. We'll gradually treat you next time you come."
As he spoke, Jinlong lay down on the hospital bed at Tian Guoan's prompting.
Ning Tang held the gold needle, her wrist turning lightly, inserting the needle quickly and steadily.
The three acupuncture points for calming the mind are Baihui (GV20), Shenmen (HT7), and Sanyinjiao (SP6).
The dean watched from the side, not daring to breathe loudly.
This was the first time he had ever seen someone give an acupuncture to a retired cadre so calmly. If it were any other doctor, including Director Zhou Hairong, they would be so nervous that their hands would tremble and they wouldn't be able to hold the needle.
A few stitches were inserted.
Jinlong felt drowsiness and fatigue creeping over him.
He couldn't bear it and slowly sank into darkness.
When Ning Tang finished, the person on the hospital bed was still asleep, and Tian Guoan and the others were practically glaring at him.
His voice lowered instinctively: "Ning girl, he... he's asleep already? He hasn't slept this soundly in decades!"
"The acupuncture cleared the blood and qi, and calmed the mind. Old Jin has been working hard for a long time. Now that he has relaxed, he naturally feels sleepy."
This is incredible!
Those who were a little skeptical of Ning Tang just now are now vying to be the second person to give her the acupuncture.
It was busy until noon before we finally got everyone settled.
Before leaving, Jinlong clearly acknowledged Ning Tang's abilities, saying very seriously, "Girl, if you ever need anything in the future, just come to me."
"Thank you, Mr. Jin."
"Don't call me Old Jin, it's too formal. Just like Old Tian, call me Grandpa."
Ning Tang smiled and said, "Grandpa Jin."
"Ah, that's right! Grandpa doesn't have much on him right now, but once your baby is born, Grandpa will definitely give you a big red envelope!"
We saw off several retired cadres.
The dean immediately came over, his smile even more friendly than before.
"Dr. Ning, you've worked so hard until noon, it must have been tough for you."
"The cafeteria has braised pork today, you should go and eat. I'll clean up the area around the clinic."
Ning Tang couldn't possibly let the dean come and clean.
My reputation at the hospital wasn't great to begin with, and if word got out, it would probably only make things worse.
"No need, it's not tiring anyway, I can do it myself."
"Dean, you must be tired after a long morning. Hurry up and go to the cafeteria for lunch."
The dean was almost moved to tears.
That's a real comrade!
They didn't act arrogantly or look down on others because of their status or background.
"No, you're pregnant, let me do it!"
As he spoke, he grabbed the rag from Ning Tang's hand, but then twisted his ankle and sprained his back.
Startled, Ning Tang instinctively steadied the person.
Neither of them noticed that there was a person standing outside.
He was staring into the examination room.
In this person's eyes, this scene turned into Ning Tang pushing the dean.
As Ning Tang helped the dean back to his office, and they entered the cafeteria, everyone's eyes were drawn to her like magnets!
