Chapter 162 Discovering a Secret
Upon hearing Shen Zhixia's suggestion that he go to Shanghai, he immediately refused, having no intention of seeking treatment at all.
Shen Zhixia said with a smile, "Have you forgotten where I was born? I was born in Shanghai. I know that place very well. After you get there, I guarantee you'll have a place to stay, and it will be very cheap. I'll also help you find a good doctor. It won't be long before you recover."
Howard looked at the smile on her face, but he wasn't as optimistic as she thought: "My leg might not get better, so let's not waste time."
“It will definitely get better,” Shen Zhixia said firmly.
Her tone was full of confidence, and even Huo Chunyan and Huo Chenzhou looked at her with surprise in their eyes.
Shen Zhixia said logically and with evidence: "Let me tell you, I had a friend who was working on a construction site. A steel pipe went straight through his thigh. Everyone thought he was beyond saving, but he was rushed to the hospital and survived. Although he survived, he might never be able to walk again. But now his leg is fine and he can walk normally."
“I accompanied him to the hospital at that time. In the ward, I saw many patients. Many of them had more serious injuries than you, but they all recovered. So your injury is nothing serious and you will definitely be cured.”
Howard asked in surprise, "Even wounds from being pierced by steel pipes can be healed?"
Just imagining it in his mind, he felt that the injury was too serious, and he probably wouldn't even be able to save his life. But Shen Zhixia actually said that he was cured and could even walk again.
Is Shanghai's medical technology really that advanced?
It seems he's been living in the village all this time, like a frog in a well, and that's why he doesn't know these things.
Actually, the above story was fabricated by Shen Zhixia, but it wasn't entirely false. It was a case she saw in the news in her later life. However, medical care in her later life was much more advanced, and many injuries could be cured, unlike now. But in order to get Huo Hua to treat his leg, she continued to lie and say, "Of course it can be cured."
"Actually, I don't think your injury is serious at all, at least not as serious as those people I've seen in the ward before. Don't worry, the doctors in Shanghai will definitely be able to treat you well."
Howard's eyebrows twitched, and he hummed in agreement, believing Shen Zhixia's words. His expression softened slightly.
Huo Hua's house wasn't big, so in the end, Shen Zhixia and Huo Chenzhou returned to Huo's mother's house to rest.
On the way back, Huo Chenzhou couldn't help but ask, "Are the doctors in Shanghai really that good? Will they definitely be able to cure my brother's leg?"
Shen Zhixia spoke with such conviction that not only Howard believed her, but they also came to believe her.
I have a feeling that if I take Howard to Shanghai now, Howard will be cured immediately.
He could tell that Howard's mental state had been poor ever since his injury, especially after Feng Xiuhe came to divorce him, which made him even more depressed.
Having grown up together, he was very sensitive to Howard's feelings. He knew Howard was a very stubborn person and was afraid that Howard would refuse treatment. Moreover, he was even more afraid that Howard would continue to be negative because of his leg, and if something happened in the future, it would be even more unsolvable.
But after Shen Zhixia finished speaking today, he could tell that Howard had regained his will to survive.
Even when Huo Chunyan later said she would help him get back custody of Ya Ya, Huo Hua tacitly agreed.
As long as Howard still feels there is hope in life, that's good.
People always need to have aspirations in life.
Shen Zhixia looked at him, shook her head and said, "I don't know if I can cure his leg. What I said today was actually made up."
"What?"
Shen Zhixia said, "Actually, it's not exactly fabricated. There are indeed such cases, but I exaggerated a bit."
She was unaware of the medical advancements of the time, so she didn't know if Howard's leg could be cured.
Huo Chenzhou: "..."
Shen Zhixia continued, "I just felt that he wasn't in a good state, so I said these things to encourage him. Look, isn't he in much better condition now than before? Treating illnesses isn't just about doctors; it's also about your own mental strength. Only when you're full of confidence and believe that you can definitely get better, then you definitely can get better."
"So today I mainly wanted to encourage him. As long as he has inner strength, I believe that if he cooperates with the treatment, he will definitely get better."
This was the first time Huo Chenzhou had heard such a statement. He only knew that if someone was injured or sick, they should go to the doctor.
The power of belief that Shen Zhixia spoke of was novel to him, but upon closer reflection, it made a lot of sense.
Isn't Howard a perfect example? He was listless all day, but after listening to Shen Zhixia's encouragement, he was like a completely different person, looking full of confidence.
Shen Zhixia's method was indeed very useful; I didn't know there was such a way to treat injuries.
"Wife, where did you hear about these things?" Huo Chenzhou asked admiringly.
Shen Zhixia said, "When I went to the hospital, I saw some patients with very serious injuries. They encouraged each other. Some people were very optimistic despite their serious injuries, and their injuries healed later. Others, despite their serious injuries, had no will to live and could not survive."
Huo Chenzhou nodded: "It seems that we need to keep learning in order to understand more."
The villagers go to bed early. It's only eight o'clock now, and it's already pitch black outside. Shen Zhixia goes to bed early too. She washed up and went to bed. Huo Chenzhou naturally saw that she was asleep, so he came up and hugged her to sleep as well.
Unbeknownst to them, Huo Chunyan had quietly gone out.
Originally, everyone planned to see Ya Ya tomorrow and talk to Feng Xiuhe about the child again, but Huo Chunyan felt she couldn't wait any longer.
Since Howard's leg can be cured anyway, why give the child to Feng Xiuhe? Besides, even if Howard can't be cured, she can help raise the child.
She was just unwilling to accept it. Why did Howard get nothing in the end after so many years of marriage and so much sacrifice?
She wants to fight for this child with Howard.
She never expected that when she went over late at night, she would stumble upon a shocking secret.
Huo Chunyan arrived at the Feng family's house alone. While she was still on the way, she suddenly heard some sounds coming from the cornfield ahead. She frowned and quickly stopped.
Then she heard a familiar voice, it was Feng Xiuhe: "Are you crazy? What are you doing here so late?"
A nonchalant male voice said, "I heard you went to get a divorce from Howard?"
