Liu Ruonan stood up, filled a basin with water, and washed her hands. Now she just had to wait for the acupuncture to be finished before applying the plaster, which would speed up the process.
"Grandma, actually when you do the acupuncture, there will be a little numbing pain. Maybe you are too nervous and didn't feel it?" After washing her hands, Liu Ruonan sat down beside the bed and chatted with Tian Ni.
Tian Ni now has a new respect for Liu Ruonan and likes her more and more the more she looks at her.
"No wonder Lei Lei said you're amazing. I think you really are amazing." Tian Ni couldn't help but give Liu Ruonan a thumbs up. After this acupuncture treatment, Tian Ni found that acupuncture wasn't that scary after all.
We had a great chat.
Soon the time was up. Liu Ruonan took out all the needles and then put a new plaster on Tian Ni.
Time passed quickly, and it was already sundown. Tian Ni had originally wanted to keep Liu Ruonan to have lunch with her, but Liu Ruonan was worried about Zhuang Sheng, so Tian Ni let her go.
After sending Liu Ruonan out the door, Chen Wanglong looked at her frail figure, feeling deeply moved. This poor little girl, he hadn't expected to have quite a few talents of her own.
Zhuang Sheng was a child with a miserable life. He lost his mother at a young age, was unloved by his stepmother and his biological father. He was seriously injured in the army and was kicked out of the house when he returned home.
Liu Ruonan is also a miserable child. She lost her biological mother when she was young. Her stepfather beat and scolded her all day long and even sold her for money!
The two of them can be said to be in the same boat! Now that these two children can be together, it can be regarded as a kind of fate. I just hope that Zhuang Sheng can get better and treat Liu Ruonan well in the future, and don't let down such a good girl.
Chen Wanglong was about to go home when he was stopped by Aunt Gu.
"Uncle, have you eaten yet? What are you doing standing here?"
"Oh! I sent Ruonan off." Chen Wanglong took a puff of his pipe, smoke coming out from his nose, and said to Aunt Gu.
"Ruonan is here! Come to see you two elders? This girl is really thoughtful." Although Aunt Gu talked a lot, she was always smiling, making it impossible for people to offend her.
"Yes! Not only is she thoughtful, but she is also filial. This girl is here to treat our daughter's leg." Chen Wanglong said.
In the village, the news that Liu Ruonan wanted to cure Zhuang Sheng had spread throughout the streets and alleys. Everyone was full of contempt and ridicule towards her, and no one was willing to believe Liu Ruonan.
The more this happened, the more Chen Wanglong wanted to speak up. Aunt Gu was a good talker, and if she spread this, most people in the village would know about it. Who would dare to mock Liu Ruonan in the future?
"Can that girl Nannan really cure diseases?" Aunt Gu asked in disbelief, but she seemed quite interested.
"Not only can he cure diseases, but he can do it well. Our girl has dared to walk these past two days. Isn't it amazing?" There was a proud smile on Chen Wanglong's old face. This is their granddaughter-in-law!
"Is this true? Can it be so effective?" Aunt Gu seemed a little unconvinced.
Chen Wanglong didn't argue with her. He waved to Aunt Gu and said with a smile, "Words are not enough. Come, come, come with me to my house and you'll know."
Aunt Gu was very curious and couldn't wait to follow Chen Wanglong back home. As soon as she entered the house, she saw Tian Ni walking slowly in the yard.
Aunt Gu's eyes widened in surprise. A few days ago, when Zhuang Sheng was kicked out of the house, she had to ask Chen Wanglong to carry her. Not to mention the last few days, she hadn't seen her for several days. After asking Chen Wanglong, she learned that her legs were so painful that she couldn't get out of bed. When he occasionally came to visit, he'd see her standing up, shaking and trembling.
Now it’s better, I can walk quite steadily.
Could it be that Liu Ruonan can really bring people back to youth?
"Wow! It seems that Ruonan is really capable!" Aunt Gu marveled and sighed.
After chatting for a while, Aunt Gu left. She told everyone that Liu Ruonan had cured Aunt Tian's illness. At first, people didn't believe it, but after seeing Aunt Gu's story with so much evidence, they all believed it.
Neighbors and neighbors spread the word, and in the eyes of the villagers, Liu Ruonan was almost a miracle doctor.
Even Zhuang Sheng, who was paralyzed at home, heard the news from Chen Jianmin, and he was filled with joy.
There was a hint of pride in Zhuang Sheng's eyes as he looked at Liu Ruonan.
"Wife, you have become a celebrity in our village."
This was the first time that Zhuang Sheng called Liu Ruonan like this, and he was in front of Chen Jianmin, which made Liu Ruonan a little shy for a moment. She lowered her head and blushed instantly.
"That's not an exaggeration. Grandma's legs have only improved slightly, but they're still far from being completely healed!"
After a few days of treatment, Zhuang Sheng felt a slight improvement and could sit for longer periods of time. But not for too long, as the excruciating pain would return.
Every night, when Liu Ruonan watched Zhuang Sheng twitching in pain due to the effects of the medicine, but endured it without making any sound for fear that Liu Ruonan would worry, Liu Ruonan's determination to buy the two medicines became stronger.
However, a few days later, someone came to ask for medicine.
After some discussion, the women in groups of three or two came to Chen Jianmin's house together.
Liu Ruonan was patient and examined their symptoms one by one. Then, she gave each of them a plaster according to their symptoms.
They looked at the plaster in their hands, looked at Liu Ruonan with confusion and said, "Mannan! Can it be cured by just applying something like this?"
"That's definitely not possible! It can only be said to be an improvement!" Liu Ruonan responded with a smile. Judging from their looks, they were just here to take advantage, and they didn't seem to want to pay.
Chen Jianmin also saw their intentions, and whispered in Liu Ruonan's ear, "Nannan, they are here to take advantage of you. You worked so hard to make so much ointment, you can't just give it to them for nothing."
Liu Ruonan smiled and imitated Chen Jianmin, whispering in her ear in a low voice, "Let them have a taste of the sweetness first."
Chen Jianmin smiled approvingly and agreed with Liu Ruonan's method.
Yes! Let them have a taste of the sweetness first. If they really get better, they will surely come to Liu Ruonan to continue getting medicine. By then, it won't be given away in vain, and no one's labor is in vain.
Liu Ruonan works hard every day to collect herbs in the mountains, and boils the herbs to make plasters in the afternoon. She has almost no free time in the day. How could she possibly give them to these people for free?
These women naturally understood the meaning of Liu Ruonan's words, and knew that this prescription would definitely not heal them.
They took the plaster and left happily, not even wanting to pay. In fact, they were also hoping for luck, thinking that their illnesses were not serious, and maybe this plaster would really cure them?
