Chapter 135 Colleagues are Enemies



Ye Wenxue led her people to the bamboo house in a flurry of activity, and without even taking a breath, she put down the child and left.

Thinking someone was causing trouble, Lan Qing turned her head blankly, and jumped when her eyes met Su Jiushi's:

"Dr. Su, Xu Lin is injured! Please come inside and take a look at him!"

Su Jiu steadied herself and responded with "Oh, oh," "Has the bleeding stopped? Has she fainted?"

After inviting Dazhuang and the others inside to rest, Lanqing led Su Jiu to the house and whispered:

"The bleeding has stopped. He lost too much blood and said his vision was blurry and he felt very uncomfortable. He has fallen asleep now."

Su Jiu had a plan in mind. As he walked past the room he used to use for treating patients, he subconsciously glanced inside and met the gaze of Doctor Chen, who turned around upon hearing the footsteps.

Su Jiu looked Dr. Chen up and down a few times, smiled gently, and then turned and left.

Dr. Chen gripped the needle tightly in his hand: "..."

He could see the smug look in the eyes of the person outside the door.

Then he saw Lan Qing hurriedly leading the way, and the identity of the person who had just been there was obvious—the doctor who had taken over the treatment of Xu Lin's eyes.

That doctor who asserted that there was no problem with his medication, but that his pulse diagnosis skills were somewhat lacking!

Dr. Chen had some thoughts of comparison and glanced at Wang Chun, who was sleeping peacefully.

Wang Chun was given acupuncture and medication. As long as she takes her medicine on time, avoids heavy or strenuous work, and rests for a period of time, she will recover.

However, the Xu family was afraid that he would use some underhanded means to harm Wang Chun, so they refused to let him leave.

After thinking for a moment, Dr. Chen decisively went out of the house and followed the group of little ones.

He looked down at the children who were lined up from tallest to shortest, obediently following Da Zhuang, whom he had met once before, and immediately realized that they were all Ye Laoda's sons.

Dazhuang was carrying Yuanyuan and slowly walking forward.

They had visited the bamboo house before, and Dazhuang would come every now and then. He knew the bamboo house well and could find the place without anyone showing him the way.

As they walked, Siwang, who was at the back, felt something was wrong. Why were there footsteps behind him?

"Gah!"

The goose, which had been forcibly held in Siwang's arms, suddenly poked its head out and started honking wildly at Doctor Chen.

Very fierce.

Dr. Chen was startled and couldn't help but cry out.

Da Zhuang, who was in front, quickly turned around.

They quickly walked to Siwang's side, subtly placing themselves in front of him to protect him, their fists clenched as they stared at Doctor Chen:

"Who are you? I've never seen you before... You wouldn't be..."

Fearing misunderstanding, Doctor Chen quickly explained, "I am a doctor from the mountain village. I was left in the bamboo house by Elder Nian to treat their injuries."

Dazhuang and Sanyuan, who frequented the bamboo houses, stared at Doctor Chen for a while. Sanyuan shook his head, indicating that he did not recognize him and had never seen him before.

They both narrowed their eyes dangerously, about to use their hidden arrows.

As Dr. Chen felt uneasy, Da Zhuang slowly spoke up: "They are from the mountain stronghold. I've seen them once before."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Dazhuang looked away and said, "Let's go see Uncle Xu and Grandpa Xu."

The other children responded with "uh-huh".

Dr. Chen hesitated for a moment, then followed behind.

He didn't notice that the children who were originally arranged by height had switched places, with Shuangshuang walking at the back and Siwang being pushed to the front.

When Dazhuang and his kids arrived at Xu Lin's house, Su Jiu had just withdrawn his hand from probing the pulse, and his face showed a hint of joy.

Su Jiu said to Lan Qing and Xu Lin's mother, who were standing nervously beside him, "Don't worry, he's turned misfortune into blessing, and his eyes will recover soon."

Everyone was delighted.

Besides Su Jiu, the only person in the room who knew medicine was Doctor Chen.

He said with a hint of sarcasm, "Getting beaten up can cure an eye disease? I've never heard of that before."

Su Jiu turned his head and suddenly smiled: "That's because you're ignorant."

Colleagues are often rivals, especially in front of patients.

Dazhuang sensed that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he silently led his younger siblings to sit down at the table.

When Xu Lin's mother learned that Xu Lin was alright, she breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at the children sitting obediently at the table, then turned and went to the kitchen to bring out hot tea and food to place on the table.

Xu Lin's mother forced a smile:

"Something came up at home, so we don't have much to offer you right now. Please make do with what you have. I'll start cooking after Dr. Su finishes seeing the old man."

Da Zhuang smiled and agreed.

After Siwang and Xu Lin's mother left, Siwang reached for something to eat, but Dazhuang slapped his hand away.

"You were still holding the goose, and you just started touching it? Shuangshuang, take him to wash his hands."

Shuangshuang remembered that she had also held a goose before, and obediently pulled Siwang to the kitchen to wash her hands.

When he returned, Doctor Chen had already taken Xu Lin's pulse and found that, just as Su Jiu had said, Xu Lin's eye disease was recovering rapidly.

Dr. Chen's expression instantly turned sour.

Su Jiu didn't indulge him and smiled smugly: "His eyes are already almost healed, so using medicine and acupuncture again won't be of much use. He just needs to rest and wait for the right opportunity."

The blow to the head unexpectedly stimulated Xu Lin's eyes, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.

However, he can't be exposed to light immediately; he needs to gradually adapt, and with the healing process... it will take at least half a month.

Seeing Dr. Chen's increasingly grim expression, Su Jiu smiled modestly, and then added insincerely:

"Dr. Chen, do you see? Am I right?"

Dr. Chen closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and had to admit that his medical skills were slightly inferior.

"Dr. Su is right... I am a novice and my medical skills are not yet proficient. I need to learn more from Dr. Su, who has extensive medical experience."

Su Jiu shook his head, washed his hands, and snatched a stuffed steamed bun from Si Wang's hand:

"No, I only recently completed my apprenticeship and my medical experience is not as good as Dr. Chen's. We can learn from each other."
