Chapter 117 Still a Virgin
Da Ya nervously placed her hand on the pulse. Doctor Hu took her pulse for a moment, then looked up at her face and frowned, saying, "You have deficiency of both qi and blood, dampness and cold in your spleen and stomach, and lack of sleep. Your body is severely depleted."
Da Ya pursed her lips, and Shu Yu said from the side, "Doctor, is my sister's problem serious?"
"I'll prescribe two doses of medicine for her. She needs to take good care of her stomach, otherwise, her spleen and stomach will be severely damaged in a while. Also, she should go to bed early and not overwork herself. She shouldn't do any heavy or strenuous work for the next two weeks. If she doesn't take care of her health now, she'll suffer later."
As Dr. Hu spoke, he lowered his head to write out the prescription.
After finishing writing, he handed it to Shu Yu, saying, "Go get the medicine."
Shu Yu didn't leave. She looked at the doorway and whispered, "Dr. Hu, could you take a look at my sister? Does she have any symptoms of infertility due to cold constitution?"
Dr. Hu was taken aback. "Infertility?"
He frowned, a hint of confusion crossing his face, and said to Daya, who was practically shrinking away, "Hold out your hand again so I can see it."
Daya stretched out her wrist, and this time Doctor Hu didn't take as long to take her pulse.
He said, "I do have a bit of a cold constitution, but as long as I take good care of myself, I will be able to get pregnant easily after I get married."
After a pause, looking at Daya's attire, he asked, "You're already married?"
"Yes, they got married."
Doctor Hu, "But how does the pulse indicate that there has been no sexual activity?"
Shu Yu suddenly raised her head. "Dr. Hu, what did you say?" Untouched by sexual intercourse? Doesn't that mean her sister is still a virgin?
A woman who has been married for two years is still a virgin??
How is this possible?!
Shu Yu looked at Daya, but the latter looked completely bewildered.
Something flashed through Shu Yu's mind, and she suddenly tightened her lips, saying to Doctor Hu, "Doctor, we understand, thank you. Here is the consultation fee; we'll go to the counter to get the medicine now."
Dr. Hu is very knowledgeable and has seen all kinds of patients.
Judging from their reactions and pulses, one could guess that there might be some private matter involved.
He was a doctor and wouldn't ask too many questions. Hearing Shu Yu say that, he nodded, "Okay, take care, and remember to take good care of yourself."
"yes."
Shu Yu took Da Ya to get the medicine first, and then left the clinic with the medicine bag.
Seeing her sister's sullen face, Da Ya hesitated to speak. She instinctively felt that her sister was angry, and very angry at that.
The two returned to their shop on Ningshui Street in silence. Engineer Zheng greeted them, "You're back? How were you? Is Daya alright?"
Shu Yu then realized that there were people in the shop and it wasn't appropriate to talk.
She nodded to Engineer Zheng and replied, "It's alright. The doctor said that with proper care for half a month, it should improve."
"That's good. Eating well is more important than anything else."
Shu Yu then said, "Uncle Zheng, you go ahead with your work, we still have to go out for a bit."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Shu Yu then took Daya away from the shop and headed straight for Doctor Xu's clinic.
Besides shops, the only place Shu Yu could go in this county town was Dr. Xu's clinic. She went there and picked up Lu Erbai's medicine while she was there.
The clinic was as quiet as ever. Shu Yu and Doctor Xu were quite familiar with each other. Seeing her arrive, Doctor Xu immediately waved and asked, "How's your father's leg? And how's that scar removal cream of yours working?"
"The effect is quite good; the scars on my third sister's face have faded a lot."
Dr. Xu chuckled, "Don't exaggerate. Bring her over for me to see another day."
