Chapter 152
Zhou Jinmei was even more excited: "Do you know where that old doctor is?"
"I know. I've asked someone to find out." Ye Fuyun said confidently.
"Okay, take me there now." Zhou Jinmei said.
Whether it is really as magical as Ye Fuyun said, just go and see for yourself.
So Ye Fuyun took Zhou Jinmei and set off.
The old doctor lived quite far away, so Ye Fuyun and Zhou Jinmei first took the bus and then walked for a while before arriving at the old doctor's residence.
The old doctor lived in an alley. Ye Fuyun found the house number and knocked on the wooden door.
After a while, a middle-aged woman came to open the door.
"Who are you looking for?" the middle-aged woman looked Ye Fuyun and Zhou Jinmei up and down and asked.
"Aunt Wang, don't you remember me? I saw you a few days ago." Ye Fuyun said with a smile.
The person called Aunt Wang looked at Ye Fuyun and seemed not to remember her.
Ye Fuyun continued, "I asked you on the way where the old doctor lived, and you said that the old doctor was your father."
Aunt Wang suddenly realized, "So it was you! There are so many people who come to see my dad every day, I really didn't remember it was you for a moment."
After a pause, Aunt Wang asked, "Are you here to see my father?"
"right."
"Come in, I'll take you to see my father. He's at home today." Aunt Wang let them in and took them to a room.
Inside the room, a gray-haired old man sat writing by the window. The room was sparsely furnished, with nothing but a bed and a wardrobe. However, on the cabinet lay a few unnamed Chinese medicinal herbs.
"As you know, the situation is special right now. My dad doesn't dare to leave many things at home. These days, everyone who comes to see him is introduced by this person or that person. If it weren't for everyone coming to him, my dad really doesn't want to help anyone with their illness. Whether the treatment is effective or not is secondary. The most important thing is that he's afraid that someone will talk nonsense outside and cause trouble for us."
Ye Fuyun said considerately: "Aunt Wang, don't worry, we are here to see the old doctor sincerely, and we won't say anything outside."
Zhou Jinmei looked around and nodded, agreeing, "Yes."
"That's good." Aunt Wang smiled and said to the old man sitting by the window, "Dad, this girl wants to see you for treatment. Can you help take a look?"
The old man continued writing and said without turning his head, "I don't want to see anyone today."
Aunt Wang smiled awkwardly at Ye Fuyun and the others, and whispered, "My dad is just like that, so willful."
After saying that, she went over to coax the old man: "Dad, everyone is here, just help take a look."
"No." The old man said stubbornly.
Aunt Wang continued to persuade her, "This girl really wants to see you. She's been asking everywhere where you live. If she hadn't happened to ask me, she'd still be looking for you. Since she wants you to see her so badly, please come and see her."
"I don't want to watch it." The old man still said the same thing.
Zhou Jinmei was a little anxious and said, "Old man, my daughter-in-law and I took more than an hour's car ride and walked for more than half an hour to find you. Since we came so far, please take a look at my daughter-in-law."
The old man looked at Zhou Jinmei, adjusted his reading glasses, and sighed: "Okay."
Aunt Wang smiled and said to Zhou Jinmei and Ye Fuyun, "You guys chat with my dad. I'm going out now and won't disturb you."
When Aunt Wang went out, she thoughtfully closed the door of the room.
The old man motioned for them to sit down, and he sat down too.
His eyes fell on Ye Fuyun: "You are the one who wants to see me for treatment, right? What do you want to see me for?"
Ye Fuyun quickly explained his situation.
Zhou Jinmei added, "Old man, miracle doctor, when will my daughter-in-law get pregnant? It would be best if she could give birth to a big fat boy!"
The old man said nothing, but motioned for Ye Fuyun to stretch out her hand. He felt her pulse and looked at her complexion.
"It's not a big problem. After taking the medicine I prescribed, you will be able to get pregnant soon."
Ye Fuyun and Zhou Jinmei both had happy expressions on their faces.
She looked at Zhou Jinmei. She knew that she wouldn't have any problems and would be able to get pregnant soon. She had given birth to six children in her previous life, so how could she not get pregnant?
Zhou Jinmei also felt a lot more at ease. Since the old doctor said that the problem was not serious, then it really was not a big deal. Their Wu family would soon be able to have a new baby.
"However, the medicine I prescribed is different from ordinary medicine and will be a bit expensive. Do you really want it?" asked the old man.
"Yes!" Zhou Jinmei blurted out.
After that, she hesitated again and asked, "What medicine did you prescribe? How much does it cost?"
"In addition to Chinese medicine, there are other things. A course of treatment is fourteen days, and one course costs one hundred yuan." said the old man.
Zhou Jinmei and Ye Fuyun were both stunned.
One hundred yuan?! That's too expensive!
Ye Fuyun thought that only a few dozen dollars would be enough, but he didn't expect it to cost as much as a hundred dollars!
"However, generally speaking, you can get pregnant after drinking one course of treatment. All the people who came to see me became pregnant after drinking one course of treatment, and they don't need to drink it later." said the old man.
Zhou Jinmei was still a little hesitant. One hundred yuan was too expensive.
She asked, "Is it okay to drink only half a course of treatment?"
"If you only want to drink half a course of treatment, that's fine, but I can't guarantee the effect. If you don't get pregnant after drinking half a course of treatment, don't come to me to argue." The old man made everything clear in advance.
"Mom." Ye Fuyun looked at Zhou Jinmei. "Since half a course of treatment doesn't guarantee results, it's better to just take a full course at once. If you spend fifty yuan and it doesn't work, then going back and buying another one for a hundred yuan is like wasting fifty yuan."
Zhou Jinmei thought so too.
She hardened her heart and said, "Okay, give us a course of treatment!"
The old man's expression didn't change much, and he nodded: "Okay."
The old man took the ten big unity notes that Zhou Jinmei handed to him tremblingly and went to prepare medicine for Ye Fuyun.
When the old man handed them the medicine bag, Zhou Jinmei and Ye Fuyun were both stunned.
In addition to Chinese medicine, the medicine bag also contained ashes of burnt something unknown.
"What is this?" Zhou Jinmei asked, pointing at the ashes.
"To pray for a child, take these medicines together for them to be effective," the old man said, then instructed, "When you leave, forget about coming to see me today, and don't tell anyone else that I bought these medicines. I'm old and can't stand the pain anymore. If it weren't for my daughter and your sincerity, I wouldn't want to treat you. Please don't refer anyone else to me anymore."
Seeing the old man's serious instructions, Zhou Jinmei and Ye Fuyun felt like they had gotten a great bargain.
