Chapter 138 Chapter 138
Several disciples had been paying close attention to the situation here since Zhao Yuliang brought people in. When they saw Ye Qing asked them to take the pulse, they all became excited immediately.
During this time, Ye Qing took them to class and taught them a lot of basic theories of Chinese medicine. During the daytime clinics, he also took them to take patients' pulses and taught them to identify the differences in the pulses of various patients with different pathologies. Several people continuously received and digested this knowledge and experience every day, and they all felt that they had mastered it and were ready to participate in real practical exercises, but Ye Qing never let them do it alone.
At the moment, Ye Qing did not directly give any diagnosis results, but asked them all to try it. It was obvious that he wanted to test them to see how much knowledge they had mastered during this period of time.
The girls were nervous and excited, all ready to try their skills and demonstrate the pulse-taking skills they had learned during this period.
But this time, the four people's expressions changed from excitement to surprise and confusion, and each of them had an extremely strange look on their face.
Ye Qing was in no hurry to speak. He waited until all four people had finished examining the patient, then he motioned for them to write down their diagnosis results on paper.
Several people quickly wrote down their answers. Two of them seemed unsure of their conclusions. They crossed out and wrote again, wrote and crossed out again. After several rounds, they finally gritted their teeth and decided on the final diagnosis.
After Ye Qing looked through the papers handed in one by one, he smiled and looked at Fang Xiaotao who was nervously waiting for the trial, and the old lady of the Zhang family who was sitting upright over there.
"Auntie, your daughter-in-law is in good health and has no fertility problems."
When Aunt Zhang heard this, she became anxious and shouted excitedly:
"That's impossible. They've been married for more than ten years. If they could have a baby, they would have done so long ago. If she's healthy, how could there be no movement in her belly for so many years?"
Ye Qing had seen through it a long time ago. Perhaps because her husband passed away early and she had to support the family alone, this lady behaved in a very hot-tempered and aggressive manner. On the other hand, this daughter-in-law had a weak temper and was easy to manipulate. She had always had a hard time surviving under the control of Old Lady Zhang. At home, she had to listen to her mother-in-law in everything and had to be cautious in everything she did. She had no say at all.
This is not a healthy family relationship. Living in such a tense and depressing atmosphere for a long time, both the body and mind are tortured. How is it possible to conceive a child?
In addition, the fact that Zhao Yuliang mentioned earlier that the youngest son was seriously injured on the battlefield also caught Ye Qing's attention.
This detail gave Ye Qing a vague suspicion and premonition.
As a doctor, Ye Qing cannot beat around the bush when explaining a patient's condition, so he sticks to the facts:
"Auntie, the most direct way to tell if a person is ill is to take their pulse. Your daughter-in-law has a strong pulse. She doesn't have children just because she's not destined to have one. I think you're too concerned about having a grandson. You should give young people some space to relax and not push them so hard. If a person is under stress for a long time and is unhappy, their body may secrete hormones that are not conducive to pregnancy, making it difficult to conceive."
"Also, didn't you just mention that all the sows on the military farm are pregnant? When we breed sows, we must prepare them for pregnancy in advance and ensure that they are healthy, relaxed and happy both physically and mentally. We must also select strong and sturdy boars. Only if the boar's seed is of high quality can the sows get pregnant quickly and have more piglets. If the boar's physical condition is abnormal, it will be difficult for the sows to breed successfully."
"So by analogy, the same is true for human pregnancy. You always emphasize that your daughter-in-law has not been pregnant for more than ten years, but have you ever thought that the problem may not be with your daughter-in-law? Pregnancy is not a matter for one person. The physical health of both husband and wife must meet the standard. Otherwise, it will be useless if you only try hard on your daughter-in-law and give her many folk remedies."
Ye Qing's words were straightforward and to the point, without using any obscure professional terms. Anyone who could understand her native language would be able to understand what she meant.
Sure enough, as soon as Ye Qing finished speaking, Aunt Zhang's expression suddenly froze, and her face immediately darkened:
"Doctor Ye, what do you mean by this?"
Ye Qing could see that the old lady was angry, but being angry couldn't solve the problem:
"Auntie, as the old saying goes, good medicine tastes bitter, but honest advice is unpleasant to the ear. You may find what I said difficult to accept, but if you really want to have a grandson, you must keep a calm mind and face it positively, instead of avoiding medical treatment and deceiving yourself."
"You come from a farmer's family, so you must be good at growing crops. If crops don't grow in this field, it's not necessarily because the field is not fertile enough or there is not enough rain, but because there is something wrong with the seeds you planted."
"Your son has fought bravely on the battlefield. He is a well-deserved hero, but no one knows whether his injuries have left him with any fertility problems. If you really want to do good for your son, you should take him to a regular hospital for a checkup. It is best to get treatment while he and his wife are still at childbearing age. Otherwise, your daughter-in-law will go into menopause in a year or two, and it will be too late for you to have children."
Regardless of the era, the topic of male infertility is always a rather obscure one. It is directly linked to a man's dignity. If a man can still give birth to a child at an advanced age, it is a display of his masculine strength. However, asthenospermia is like breaking a man's spine, which will make a normal man never be able to raise his head again.
So now, Ye Qing has brought up this topic so bluntly. How can Aunt Zhang, who is worried about her only child, accept it?
The old lady suddenly stood up from her chair, no longer caring about crying and complaining, and angrily pointed at Ye Qing and cursed:
"This is sheer nonsense. You are just a teenage girl who has never held a man. What do you know about giving birth? Fang Xiaotao is unable to give birth and she is blaming my son for it. Why are you talking nonsense? My son is healthy. How could there be any problem? It is obviously Fang Xiaotao who is sick. If you don't want to give me the secret recipe for giving birth, just say so. There is no need to find excuses to curse my son. You are so rude at such a young age. You'd better be careful that your bad mouth will be struck by lightning!"
After scolding, the old lady rushed forward, grabbed her daughter-in-law in a rage and dragged her out.
Judging from the hurried look on his face, he didn't seem to truly believe that his son was not sick. Instead, it seemed as if he was running away in panic after being hit on a sore spot by Ye Qing.
Zhao Yuliang was also confused.
Before, this lady had heard rumors outside and after hearing about Ye Qing's reputation as "Guanyin who delivers children", she felt that her son and daughter-in-law finally had hope of having children, so she came to him for help, asking for introduction and meeting Ye Qing no matter what.
But now that Ye Qing has given his conclusion, the old lady actually turned hostile. In the last second she was praising Ye Qing for his excellent medical skills, and in the next second she spoke without thinking and directly scolded the young girl for not knowing how to give birth to a child.
This is really true, even the Sichuan Opera's facial changes are not as fast as hers!
Seeing Ye Qing sitting there without moving, Zhao Yuliang felt a little embarrassed.
After all, he was the one who brought this trouble. If he hadn't been nosy today, Ye Qing would have stayed at home peacefully and wouldn't have been scolded for no reason.
Ye Qing smiled at Zhao Yuliang instead. She had been in the profession for so many years, what kind of weird patients' families had she not seen? This was already a very normal reaction. Those who would kill someone with a knife if they disagreed with someone, and those who would thank someone in person and then frame someone behind their back, were ten thousand times more evil and terrifying than this old lady.
"You don't have to be like this. It's not your fault. The old lady is afraid of doctors and can't bear to hear the truth."
"Over the past decade, the old lady has actually known what was going on for a long time, but she just didn't want to admit it. So when she heard that I had a secret recipe for having a child, she wanted to try her luck."
"But she didn't expect that I not only didn't have a secret recipe for having a baby, but also had a sharp tongue. I immediately exposed her family's situation and lifted the fig leaf. The old lady was upset. It's normal for her to get angry and lose her temper."
"I have said all I can. If the old lady of the Zhang family wants to have a grandson, she must get over the psychological barrier and convince her son to go to the hospital for a checkup. Otherwise, it will be useless no matter who comes."
At this point, Ye Qing couldn't help but give Zhao Yuliang a narrow smile and said teasingly,
"You were there just now, and you heard everything I said. This old lady is not only irritating me, but she is also irritating you. Just wait and see. I estimate that for a long time to come, this old lady will avoid us if she sees us in the farm."
Zhao Yuliang's expression froze. He looked at the old lady who was still cursing even after she rushed out of the yard. He was a little unconvinced:
"It shouldn't be that serious, right?"
Ye Qing shrugged and said nothing more. He just signaled to Zhao Yuliang with his eyes, "All the patients have left. Why don't you go back? What are you doing here?"
Zhao Yuliang then remembered that he had brought the old lady and daughter-in-law of the Zhang family to Kaoshantun just for the sake of convenience. In fact, he had come to see Ye Qing at night for something more important.
After taking a look outside, the guy approached Ye Qing mysteriously and whispered in a low voice:
"Next time you bring something there, just prepare the portion for old man Chen. You don't have to worry about Han Yabo's portion."
Ye Qing was stunned, and couldn't help but frown and asked, "Why?"
Zhao Yuliang chuckled, with a hint of pride in his expression:
"Qiao Youqing and I recently did something. We revamped Han Yabo's unfinished research project and resubmitted it to the higher authorities. Now the process is almost complete and the research institute will approve the project soon."
"I have also found someone to get Han Yabo a fake identity. He can use this new identity to enter the laboratory and continue his research. I will provide him with a dormitory at the innermost part of the top floor of the laboratory building. His wife can live in it and take care of his daily life. However, his range of movement is only allowed between the laboratory and the dormitory. He cannot go anywhere else and is not allowed to go out."
Ye Qing suddenly sat up straight, staring at Zhao Yuliang with eyes wide open in disbelief, eyes full of shock and joy:
"real?"
Zhao Yuliang nodded, thought for a moment and added:
"However, even if he makes some amazing achievements in this project in the future, he cannot use his real name to make the research."
Ye Qing was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly smiled:
"Dr. Han probably doesn't care about this. He only cares about his research project itself. It doesn't matter whether his real name is used or not. But not allowing him to continue his scientific research is the real death of him."
