"I understand what you mean. Please treat me. I have faith in your medical skills."
After Chen Cui said that, she understood what was going on.
"Alright. I'll treat Comrade Sun now. Later, please reassure him and keep him still. I need to give him acupuncture."
Acupuncture?
"Yes. Comrade Sun's case is quite special, and the most direct treatment is acupuncture."
Although Chen Cuie was illiterate, she had heard of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture.
Acupuncture is a very difficult subject to learn, and even many experienced traditional Chinese medicine practitioners dare not insert needles randomly.
She thought Su Zhiqing would only need pulse diagnosis and Chinese medicine treatment, but she never expected acupuncture, which made her panic.
"I've heard that acupuncture is quite dangerous?"
What would be quite dangerous for other practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine is nothing to her.
“I’ve been learning acupuncture since elementary school…it’s not a difficult thing for me.”
Chen Cuie hesitated, "But..."
She's now undecided. What will happen to her and her child if something happens to Sun Xuelin?
Just as they were struggling with this decision, Sun Youde returned. He had overheard their entire conversation.
"Treatment... I've heard Comrade Gu mention that his wife is an apprentice of a renowned traditional Chinese medicine master."
“If Xue Lin’s condition is left untreated, what if he never gets better? Who will take care of him for the rest of his life? I can’t rely on my grandson to support him for the rest of his life. That would be a burden on my grandson, and what girl would dare to marry him in the future?”
Listening to Sun Youde and Chen Cuie's conversation, Su Ying's lips twitched. Was this brigade leader overthinking things?
She's even thinking about her grandson's wedding. From what she knows, Sun Xuelin's son is less than ten years old now. Isn't it a bit too early to talk about marriage at this time?
"Once the decision is made... then we will begin the treatment. Captain, please keep an eye on Comrade Sun and make sure he doesn't move around. The worst thing you can do during acupuncture is to move around. If you insert the needle incorrectly, the consequences could be disastrous."
Sun Youde looked determined to do everything he could; the treatment couldn't be worse than it was now.
"Get started."
Su Ying had just checked Sun Xuelin's pulse. His condition wasn't serious; he just couldn't accept what he was seeing, and his brain activated its automatic protection mechanism, which led to his current state.
It's actually quite easy to treat; you'll recover after acupuncture...
With his eyes closed and his mind completely focused, he cast aside all distractions and began inserting silver needles one by one into Sun Xuelin's head.
After completing a set of acupuncture treatments, Su Ying was exhausted. Acupuncture is inherently mentally taxing, and with her pregnancy, it was even more difficult to perform.
After the needle was inserted, she almost lost her balance and stumbled forward. Chen Cuie quickly grabbed Su Ying's waist and held her tightly.
"Dad, come and help quickly."
"good."
The two helped Su Ying to a chair and sat her down. Chen Cuie hurriedly went to the kitchen and brought out a bowl of water.
"Come on, have a bowl of brown sugar water. You must have been exhausted just now."
Su Ying didn't stand on ceremony with her, took the brown sugar water from her hand, and drank it down in one gulp.
After drinking the brown sugar water, she sat for a while and felt much better.
Once she recovered, she stood up again, and Chen Cuie immediately stepped forward to help her.
"Be careful. Just tell me what you need, I'll run away with it."
"Thank you for your kindness, but the order of needle removal cannot be messed up, and you can't help with that."
Upon hearing that the needles needed to be removed, Chen Cuie was speechless; she had no idea about this at all.
If you pull the wrong one, it could be a matter of life and death.
She stood silently to the side, keeping a close eye on Su Zhiqing's movements. The pregnant woman couldn't afford to fall; if something happened, she wouldn't be able to explain it to Comrade Gu.
After the needles were removed, Sun Xuelin slowly opened his eyes, his pupils becoming much clearer.
He saw his wife, his father who looked down on him in everything, and Su, the educated youth.
Why are you all surrounding me? What's wrong with you?
Normally, if Sun Youde heard this brat talk like that, he would punch him on the spot. He would never look at him with red eyes like this.
Sun Xuelin felt uneasy. Could it be that he had done something wrong that made his father angry, causing him to look so terrible?
Her eyes were red-rimmed as she looked at him, and her eyes seemed about to pop out, which was quite frightening.
"You little rascal, you scared your dad so much! You're finally back to normal, waaaaaah...waaaah..."
Sun Xuelin was even more bewildered. He shifted his gaze from Sun Youde, who was crying uncontrollably, to his wife and shrugged helplessly.
"Is my dad a little mentally unstable?"
Instead of answering him, his wife hugged him and cried her heart out.
A bewildered Sun Xuelin hugged Chen Cuie back with a helpless expression, offering her comfort.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying like this? Did something happen at home?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Youde and Chen Cuie forgot about crying, frowned at him, and then their eyes turned to Su Ying.
Su Ying also looked confused. Sun Xuelin seemed to have forgotten everything that happened in the basement and had no recollection of what had happened there.
"I don't know what happened either. It doesn't seem like a big problem. Everyone knows us."
Sun Youde and Chen Cuie looked at each other, but they were still a little scared.
"Su Zhiqing, could you please take a closer look at my son and see if there's anything wrong with him?"
Chen Cuie nodded, "Yes, yes, yes. Please have Su Zhiqing take a good look at my husband, something just doesn't seem right."
Su Ying walked up to Sun Xuelin, took his arm and began to take his pulse.
After taking his pulse, they couldn't find anything wrong...
They called Sun Youde and Chen Cuie aside, and the three of them began to whisper among themselves.
"His pulse is fine. He should have forgotten everything about the basement incident. To be precise, he forgot everything about being arrested and then going to the basement."
"I won't forget the memories before I was arrested... but I've forgotten everything after I was arrested..."
Sun Xuelin and Chen Cuie looked at each other in dismay, having never seen anything like this before.
"Will this have any impact on my son?"
Su Ying shook her head, "It has no impact. Since you've forgotten it, just forget it. Perhaps the memories were too painful, so Comrade Sun secretly sealed them off completely."
"It's just that... once he loses this memory, and with the villagers' explanations, things might not make sense."
Sun Youde nodded, "I understand, I will have a good talk with the villagers."
"You don't need to worry about that."
"That's good. Now that he's awake, I should go back for lunch."
"I send you."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. In fact, I should be the one thanking you. You saved my man and my family."
"I already promised Comrade Gu that I would take you back. I was just doing my job to get you to come back. There's no need to be so polite."
The two walked from the Sun family's house to the Bai family's house, unaware that a gaze was closely following them.
