Chapter 1806 Doctor Guo's Meaning
After the banquet ended, most of the people stayed. Some helped clear the tables, chairs, and dishes, while others gathered together to chat.
Shu Yu saw that Grandma Fang's room was full of people and was about to come out for some fresh air when she saw Ying Xi come over and say that Doctor Guo was looking for her.
Shu Yu peeked out and indeed saw Doctor Guo standing in a corner of the courtyard, looking in their direction.
Shu Yu walked to the corner in a few steps. "Dr. Guo, what can I do for you?"
Dr. Guo was in his thirties, very thin, and appeared very serious when he was not speaking or smiling.
Facing Shu Yu, his expression softened considerably. He said somewhat apologetically, "Lu Xiangjun, I came to see you mainly to talk about Granny Fang's situation."
Shu Yu was taken aback. "Is your great-aunt not feeling well?"
"No, no." He denied it at first, then nodded, "Yes."
The two statements were ambiguous, so Dr. Guo thought for a moment and started from the beginning, "You may have heard that Granny Fang fell into the water many years ago and suffered from health problems."
Shu Yu nodded solemnly, "Yes."
“When Grandma Fang came to our village, I was still young. The doctor who treated her back then was my grandfather. Later, I followed in my grandfather's footsteps. Whenever Grandma Fang had a minor ailment, I was the one who took her to see her. My grandfather also told me about her condition. Over the years, Grandma Fang seemed fine on ordinary days, but she actually had a problem with being cold all the time.”
This cold constitution caused her to break out in a cold sweat and experience severe abdominal pain every time she had her period.
Moreover, Grandma Fang's menstrual cycle had always been very irregular; once she didn't have her period for six months. This led Dr. Guo to believe that she had gone through menopause at a young age.
However, it was inappropriate for Dr. Guo to say such things to Shu Yu, an unmarried young woman, especially since she was Grandma Fang's granddaughter.
Therefore, he could only say tactfully, "In short, as a doctor, I still hope that Grandma Fang will be healthy in the future."
As he spoke, he looked somewhat troubled and said in a low voice, "If Lord Lu is able, please take Granny Fang to the prefectural city to see a better doctor."
He felt somewhat ashamed of what he said; the so-called ability he referred to was actually just money.
Grandma Fang had no money, so she couldn't go to the city to find a skilled doctor, especially since her illness was a woman's ailment, and skilled doctors in this area were rare. Not to mention, the medicines Grandma Fang needed were all expensive herbs.
These things shouldn't have been Dr. Guo's responsibility.
He had been in contact with Granny Fang since he was a child, and Granny Fang was kind to people. He hesitated for most of the day, but still couldn't help but come over and say a few more words.
Seeing the gifts Shu Yu brought, Dr. Guo knew that she truly respected Fang's mother-in-law, so he mustered up his courage and went to approach her.
But after he finished speaking, Shu Yu remained silent for a long time, which made Dr. Guo nervous.
Did he come to the wrong place?
Just as he was thinking of finding a way to back down, Shu Yu suddenly looked up and said, "I don't know which doctors in Changjin Prefecture are skilled. I want to take my aunt to see Old Master Zhao when we get back."
"Old Zhao?"
"Master Zhao, I wonder if Dr. Guo has heard of him?"
Dr. Guo's eyes widened suddenly, and he nodded repeatedly, "I've heard of it, of course I've heard of it. Can Mr. Lu find Old Master Zhao to treat Granny Fang?"
"Well, so we'll postpone our trip to the prefectural city for now, to avoid any conflict between the medicine I prescribe and Old Master Zhao's."
