Chapter 36: Better than the old man

There was no sign of family members in the room, which made Shen Cheng frown.

He went into the house and looked around for a while, but didn't see anyone.

I didn't find anyone, but I did see some things.

Shen Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly. His eyes, which should have been charming, now flashed with a hint of sharpness.

He walked to a wooden table in the living room and picked up the hairpin on it.

His mother has a hobby, she likes all kinds of headwear and jewelry, all of which she makes herself.

Grandpa is about to die, and she still has the mood to make these little things?

Shen Cheng put his hands on his waist, feeling a sense of resentment in his chest.

Got fooled.

-

Jiang Xinli sneezed several times in succession.

I couldn't help but ask, "Oh, is someone thinking about me?"

Shen Wulin snorted: "Maybe it's your son who is scolding you."

Jiang Xinli covered her mouth and laughed: "You only know how to say these useless things. My son doesn't even know that we lied to him, so why would he scold me?"

When they arrived at Deyuan Clinic, the two got out of the car, and each of them supported Mr. Shen.

Jiang Nianzi had been waiting in the clinic early.

She was used to arriving early for the appointment with the patient, but when no one showed up for a long time, she went out to buy breakfast.

Now only Grandpa Zhang is inside.

Seeing Mr. Shen and his family of three coming over, Mr. Zhang was slightly surprised, and then he went to greet them excitedly.

"Mr. Shen, why are you here?"

Grandpa Zhang and Mr. Shen had met each other several times in Beijing.

Although Mr. Shen was of high status, he was a very kind person, which left a deep impression on him.

Mr. Shen was also very surprised. He didn't expect to meet Mr. Zhang here.

"Are you Dr. Zhang Qixian?"

"Hey, it's me." Grandpa Zhang said with a smile.

Shen Wulin and Jiang Xinli looked at each other in bewilderment. They turned out to be old acquaintances.

Afraid that his son and daughter-in-law didn't know, Grandpa Shen introduced them to him: "Your Uncle Zhang was very good in his time. Several decades ago, he was a famous military doctor in the military camp."

Later he retired and no one knew where he went. I didn't expect that he ended up in such a small place.

Grandpa Zhang laughed and said, "No, the old leader has promoted it. It's just a skill to make a living."

As the two chatted, Grandpa Zhang asked Grandpa Shen what he was doing here and whether he was feeling unwell.

Mr. Shen did not hide anything and immediately stated his purpose.

He said, "I have been looking for this place for so long. I heard there is a great old Chinese doctor here. I never thought it would be you. What a fate."

After hearing what he said, Grandpa Zhang asked what illness Grandpa Shen had.

Mr. Shen said, "The little girl in your shop said it was purulent arthritis."

"Purulent arthritis?"

This word sounds scary.

For the professional Mr. Zhang, it is not as simple as just scaring people.

It's tricky.

"This..." Grandpa Zhang has been practicing medicine for so many years, but he has only encountered one case of purulent arthritis.

However, he never cured that case.

This disease is more suitable for Western medicine treatment.

But even with Western medicine, it is very difficult to cure.

Seeing Grandpa Zhang's embarrassed expression, Shen Wulin and his wife felt a sudden pang in their hearts.

Mr. Shen was also filled with disappointment.

"Is it difficult to cure?" he couldn't help asking.

Just as Grandpa Zhang was about to answer, Jiang Xinli said, "Doctor Zhang, but Doctor Jiang in your store said that she can be cured."

"Oh? You said Doctor Xiao Jiang in my shop said she can cure it?" Grandpa Zhang asked in surprise and doubt.

Jiang Xinli nodded affirmatively: "Yes, she said the treatment only takes a week."

Although he said so, seeing the old doctor's expression of disbelief, the three members of the Shen family felt as if they had fallen to the bottom of the valley.

I thought the little girl was just boastful because she was young.

Seeing that his son and daughter-in-law both had lost expressions, Mr. Shen knew what they were thinking.

He sighed and said, "Why are you so sad? It's not a big deal. If it can be cured, then cure it. If it can't be cured, forget it. Anyway, I'm an old man, what's there to be afraid of?"

That being said, Mr. Shen is not much nicer than his son and daughter-in-law in his heart.

Before coming today, they were in a good mood, and they all came with the hope of getting their legs healed.

I didn’t expect…

Grandpa Zhang was indeed shocked, but he was shocked by the girl's talent rather than questioning her ability.

Seeing the three members of the Shen family looking distraught, Grandpa Zhang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Mr. Shen, please don't be disappointed. I really can't cure it, but Dr. Xiao Jiang in our store said he can, so he's basically right."

This gave the three people hope.

Mr. Shen just said "Hmm?"

Grandpa Zhang said with a proud tone, stroking his beard, "That girl's medical skills are much better than mine."

If what he said just now was just surprising, this was somewhat shocking.

That little girl...

That little girl who looked to be in her teens...

His medical skills are even better than those of Mr. Zhang who is over fifty years old?

How can this not be surprising?

It turns out that what the old lady who came to the store before said was actually true. It was not a joke and was not exaggerated.

While they were talking, Jiang Nianzi came in eating some buns she bought from outside.

"Hey, girl, come here." Grandpa Zhang called to Jiang Nianzi.

Only then did Jiang Nianzi realize that those people from yesterday had come.

She quickly stuffed the bun into her mouth and said to Mr. Shen and the other two, "Why are you in such a hurry? Come on, please go sit over there. I'll get it ready right away."

“No hurry.”

Grandpa Zhang called Jiang Nianzi over and asked her directly if she could really cure purulent arthritis.

Jiang Nianzi said lightly: "Yes, it is a bit troublesome, but it is not difficult to cure."

Her relaxed tone once again gave the three members of the Shen family a reassurance.

Grandpa Zhang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

This girl can always give him surprises.

No wonder my junior sister said she was very smart, isn’t she very smart?

He has studied Chinese medicine all his life, but he has never mastered it as well as this girl.

She spoke with a bun in her mouth, making her cheeks look puffy.

After confirming that her grandfather's leg could be cured, Jiang Xinli had time to think about other things.

She saw that the little girl looked like a snowball, pretty, lovely, and capable, and for a moment she couldn't help wanting to be a matchmaker and find a marriage for her son.

But it’s hard to say that now.

She could only suppress the thoughts in her heart for the time being.

The old man was helped to sit down in the clinic area. Jiang Xinli and Shen Wulin were waiting beside him.

Mr. Zhang wanted to see how Jiang Nianzi was treated, so he followed over.

Jiang Nianzi took out the silver needle and the ointment she had ground yesterday, walked up to the group of people, and then placed the silver needle and ointment on the table.

The silver needle has been sterilized.

Jiang Nianzi asked her father to lift up his trouser legs.

Looking at the old man's knee joint at this time, it was very red and swollen, and a little swollen.

The affected joint is swollen due to fluid accumulation and needs to be drained and antibiotics injected.
