Chapter 35: Father and Daughter, Mother and Son
"Okay, you can cover your trouser legs now."
Chen Yin took out the last silver needle and gave a reminder.
But Liu Guihua was still immersed in the comfort just now, with her eyes closed and her expression relaxed, and she was completely unaware of the sounds from the outside world.
The villagers who were helping couldn't bear to watch and patted her on the shoulder, "Auntie, it's done."
Liu Guihua reluctantly came back to her senses from her dazed state, shook her head twice in confusion, and then she remembered where she was.
She smiled sheepishly, "It was so comfortable, I almost fell asleep."
"Doctor Chen, your acupuncture is truly excellent! Not only is it painless, but it's also warming, more comfortable than a fire in the winter. After just one session, I even feel my legs are a lot more flexible. Look!"
As she spoke, Liu Guihua excitedly swung her calves in front of everyone and laughed happily.
Seeing the villagers recover from their illness, Village Chief Yang's eyes and brows were full of smiles. When he met Liu Guihua's smile, he waved his hands in annoyance.
"Okay, leave now and don't delay other people's medical treatment."
At this moment, Liu Guihua seemed not to have heard what the village chief said. She stared at Chen Yin and asked:
"Doctor Chen, can I leave now?"
"Yes, your condition only requires three days of acupuncture. Report to me after noon tomorrow, and I'll use my rest time to give you a few acupuncture treatments."
"Oh! Okay! I'll definitely be ready to come tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Liu Guihua agreed without hesitation, raised her right hand and waved it wildly, wishing tomorrow would come right now.
In the following time, Chen Yin saw more than a dozen patients.
In this era when young people are starting to try to work outside, those who remain in the village are basically middle-aged and elderly people, young women and children.
Therefore, most of the diseases are concentrated on various geriatric diseases and gynecological diseases, and the processing speed is getting faster and faster.
Soon, it was twelve o'clock noon, when the sun was high in the sky.
After sending the last patient away, Village Chief Yang glanced at the time and quickly greeted:
"Doctor Chen, and Yushu, let's go home and eat quickly. We've been busy all morning and haven't even had time to drink a sip of water. Doctor Chen, you must be exhausted."
"Don't worry, Village Chief Yang, we'll clean up the clinic and it will be ready soon."
Chen Yin and her team first took out the medicine bags that had been packed in advance, then tied up all the opened bags and placed them in the clinic.
Village Chief Yang looked at Chen Yin suspiciously as she stuffed packets of medicine into her backpack, which gradually became bulging. He couldn't help but ask in confusion:
"Doctor Chen, what are you doing..."
Hearing this, Chen Yin patted the backpack behind her and said with a smile:
"I'm used to carrying my 'medicine box' with me, so I can help as quickly as possible in case of any emergency. Before the free clinic started, didn't we ask families of patients who are unable to move to register? After lunch, I plan to take advantage of my lunch break to treat patients. This way, I won't delay the other patients waiting in line."
"Doctor Chen..." Village Chief Yang was so moved that he didn't know what to say.
For the first time, this old man, who was nearly sixty years old, had tears in his eyes in front of the younger generation and sighed three times.
"Good! Good! Good boy!"
Before he finished speaking, Village Chief Yang turned his back, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned around, and said with a smile on his face as if nothing had happened:
"Let's go! Let's go eat. My family must be waiting anxiously."
Then, Village Chief Yang led the way, and a group of six people followed behind, slowly approaching the Village Chief's house.
Chen Yin carefully observed the scenery along the way and found that it was not much different from Qingshan Village.
The only eye-catching thing is a small river with clear blue waves running through the entire village, which is probably the origin of the village's name.
After a while, the group crossed the river and arrived at the village chief's house.
Before he saw anyone, Village Chief Yang shouted loudly to his family inside the door:
"Doctor Chen is here—quickly serve the meal, don't let Doctor Chen go hungry."
"Here I come! The last dish will be served soon. If you don't come, I'm going to ask my third sister to go to the village office to call you."
He Cuihua stood at the kitchen door, holding the freshly cooked dish in one hand and covering her forehead with the other, standing on tiptoe to get a clear look at the female doctor who was praised by everyone for her extraordinary medical skills.
Unfortunately, the sunlight was too strong and she could only see an outline, so she had to quickly carry the dishes to the wooden table.
When Village Chief Yang heard his wife's words, his smile deepened. He immediately turned to look at Chen Yin and said:
"We're back just in time, Doctor Chen, please come in."
"Village Chief Yang, you first!"
Chen Yin stretched out her hand, motioning the other party to go first.
Village Chief Yang looked at Chen Yin's serious expression, then stepped forward and entered the yard first. He could smell the aroma of food coming from the house from afar.
Chen Yin followed closely behind and also smelled the aroma. She immediately recognized that today's lunch must include cured meat and watercress.
But when she saw the dishes on the table, she couldn't help but be surprised.
"Auntie, you guys have prepared so much! It's so good! We're just here for a quick meal, there's no need to prepare such a sumptuous meal."
Chicken, duck, fish and meat were all placed on the table, as well as preserved bacon, cured pork trotters and sausages, and other seasonal wild vegetables were arranged in a circle.
If her arrival would bring a heavy burden to the villagers, Chen Yin would rather bring dry food from home.
He Cuihua knew at once that Chen Yin had misunderstood, and quickly explained:
"Don't worry, Doctor Chen. These ingredients were collected from all the families in the village. Everyone has said that we must make sure that you, a good doctor, are well fed and well cared for in our village. You provide free medical care, so no one has to pay. This little bit of food and drink represents our gratitude, so please don't refuse."
Village Chief Yang also added, "Doctor Chen, these are all kind words from everyone, so don't refuse them. You've been tired all morning, you should eat something good to replenish yourself."
After saying this, he immediately glanced at his little daughter opposite him, indicating that he should pull Chen Yin to her seat.
He very much agreed with the village's approach.
Because of this morning's diagnosis and treatment, he realized as he watched from the sidelines that seeing patients was a very time-consuming and energy-consuming task. If he didn't eat something good to replenish his body, it would be disastrous if he got exhausted.
Yang Moli noticed her father's gaze and immediately pulled Chen Yin's body towards the dining table and finally to the main seat.
"Doctor Chen, please sit down! These are the fruits of my mother and I's hard work all morning. How about you try some?"
Seeing that her body was about to fall on the main seat, Chen Yin quickly moved to the side and said embarrassedly:
"How can I, a guest, sit at the main seat? Village Chief Yang, please take a seat."
"Doctor Chen, you are not an ordinary guest. You are the distinguished guest of our entire village. It is appropriate for you to sit in the main seat." Village chief Yang retorted with a look of disapproval.
He Cuihua followed closely behind, urging, "Doctor Chen, please take a seat quickly. If you delay any longer, the food will get cold."
As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Yushu and the others subconsciously looked up at the scorching sun above their heads, and could not help but admire the aunt's ability to speak.
Seeing that Chen Yin still did not move, Village Chief Yang and He Cuihua pushed her down to the main seat with their own hands.
Chen Yin sat there anxiously, looking at the village chief and his wife who were sitting below her.
But the two of them did not give her a chance to regret. They directly used the chopsticks in their hands to fill Chen Yin's bowl with vegetables.
"Doctor Chen, you're welcome. Eat more."
“The village has prepared a lot of food, so don’t be shy about eating it.”
As she spoke, He Cuihua put the stewed purple-red cured pig's trotters into Chen Yin's bowl.
In a blink of an eye, he quickly turned his attention to Wu Yushu and others who had been watching the show.
"Yushu, you've been busy with Doctor Chen all morning, so you must be starving. Eat quickly and eat more. Don't be shy!"
Wu Yushu looked at the dishes approaching him and quickly extended his bowl.
"Auntie, we are not guests. We can help ourselves. You can eat too."
Under the warm hospitality of the village chief's family, Chen Yin and her companions almost couldn't eat.
If Chen Yin hadn't been explaining using the theories of Chinese medicine, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get down from the table at this time.
Because her stomach was too bloated, she practiced the Five Animal Exercises in the yard for a while. After feeling that a lot of the food in her body had been digested, she went to where the backpack was placed.
"Village Chief Yang, where is the nearest family with an immobile illness?"
"Doctor Chen, please prepare to see the patient now. Why don't you take a rest for a while?"
Chen Yin smiled brightly and picked up her backpack, "I've rested well. Time is tight, so it's best to relieve everyone's pain quickly."
Hearing this, Village Chief Yang looked at Chen Yin with admiration and thought for a moment.
"The closest one is Wu Man's family. Her father went to the county hospital for treatment before and spent a lot of money. Unfortunately, the money was spent but the disease was not cured."
"The county hospital diagnosed him with cervical spondylosis. He was constantly dizzy, his hands and feet were numb, and he could barely stand up. Because of his condition, his family had to call their married daughter back home to take care of her, while their son and daughter-in-law went out to work, hoping to earn money to cure him."
"Now that you're here, Doctor Chen, their family will definitely be able to return to normal."
An illness messed up three small families. This is the dilemma of poor people getting sick.
"Okay, then let's go to Wu Man's house."
"This way, it's on the slope opposite their house." Village chief Yang walked in front to lead the way, and his third daughter, who found it novel and interesting, wanted to follow.
Chen Yin and six others walked behind and slowly climbed up the opposite hillside.
It was the hottest time of the day and no one was moving around in front of or outside the house. Only the egrets flying overhead, the frogs resting on the ridges below, and the cicadas hanging on the trees could detect their movements.
So when Chen Yin and others arrived at Wu Man's house, they found nothing in the house.
In rural areas, almost no one locks their doors. Village Chief Yang looked at the closed door, pushed it open calmly, and patiently explained:
"It's hot now, everyone at home should be resting. Doctor Chen, let me call you."
Before he finished speaking, the loud voice of Village Chief Yang rang in his ears.
"Wu Man! Wu Man! Are you home? Doctor Chen is here to see you."
"Yes, yes, yes! Uncle Village Chief, everyone is at home."
Along with the sound, there was also a burst of hurried footsteps. The fast and dull footsteps stepping on the suspended wooden floor made people worry: Could the house be collapsed by someone?
When the footsteps stopped, Wu Man also appeared in front of everyone.
An excited smile hung on her bronze face, and her sparkling eyes were instantly locked on Chen Yin.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Doctor Chen, please come in. I was hanging clothes upstairs and didn't hear you. You must be too hot, right? Come in and rest for a while."
Without waiting for Chen Yin and the others to reply, Wu Man turned around abruptly and shouted into the house:
"Mom! Quickly fill some bowls with water. Doctor Chen is here."
After saying that, she looked at Chen Yin again and extended her hand warmly, "Doctor Chen, please come in. My dad just had his body wiped, so it's a good time for him to see me."
"Okay. Take us directly to the patient's room."
Chen Yin stepped forward and motioned Wu Man to lead the way.
"My dad's room is on the first floor. Come this way, please."
Wu Man looked at Chen Yin who was walking with her, and a smile could not be hidden in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
In just a dozen seconds, Wu Man and Chen Yin appeared at the patient's door.
"Click!" Wu Man pulled the rope. "Doctor Chen, turn on the light so it's brighter. It'll be easier to see."
Chen Yin nodded and looked around the room.
I have to say that the house is very clean, with almost no peculiar smell. Instead, it smells like sunshine. I guess patients who sleep here will feel much better because of it.
“It looks like it’s being well taken care of.”
Hearing Chen Yin's praise, Wu Man's smile deepened. "That's what I should do. Even if I can't cure Dad's illness for the time being, I can't let him get worse so quickly."
"If only all family members could think like you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu's mother appeared beside everyone with a tray full of tea.
"Village chief, Doctor Chen, and young man, drink some water to quench your thirst. You must be exhausted after climbing such a high slope. Drink some water and rest quickly."
"Thank you, Auntie!"
"Thanks!"
Since Chen Yin was standing the farthest away, Wu's mother personally handed the last bowl of water to her.
Mother Wu looked at Chen Yin, who looked like an intellectual, and felt a sense of inferiority. She stretched out her hand a little slowly, and said shamefully:
"Please forgive me, Doctor Chen, but this is the only old leaf tea we have at home."
"I don't care about these things, as long as I can quench my thirst, thank you very much, auntie!"
Chen Yin quickly took the bowl, put it to her mouth, and slowly swallowed it mouthful by mouthful to extinguish the heat generated by the hot weather.
After a while, the tea in the bowl was drunk up.
She put the bowl back on the tray sheepishly, "Sorry to bother you, auntie."
Seeing Chen Yin so approachable, Wu's mother's anxiety dissipated a lot, and she couldn't help asking, "Doctor Chen still want you?"
Chen Yin quickly waved her hand, "No, one bowl is enough. I'll see the patient right away. Who of you knows the patient's condition best? I have something to ask you later."
"I, I know Dad's condition better. I was the one who took him to the county hospital for treatment."
Wu Man immediately stepped forward and stood out.
"Okay, you stay with me in the room, and everyone else goes out first." Chen Yin nodded and made arrangements quickly.
Then she took the backpack from Wu Yushu, took out paper and pen, and started to see patients.
"Your father's name and age? When did he first experience neck discomfort? How is his health now?"
…
The two of them asked and answered questions in the room, and Chen Yin had already understood the patient's basic condition.
The patient initially only had a swollen and painful neck, but did not pay attention to it. Gradually, the condition developed into dizziness, numbness in the limbs, difficulty in movement, and even slow speech.
"Come on, uncle, stick out your tongue."
When Wu Dahai heard Chen Yin's words, he eagerly wanted to stick out his tongue.
But just as his brain was thinking about this action and his head just left the pillow a little, a dizziness that could not be ignored spread from the back of his neck.
He had to quickly retract his head, close his eyes, and wait quietly for the dizziness to disappear.
Wu Man looked at the familiar scene, worry and pain in her eyes, and hated herself for being unable to do anything but watch.
It took a while for Wu Dahe to recover from the dizziness. This time he didn't dare to make any big movements. He slowly opened his mouth and his tongue revealed its true form bit by bit.
Chen Yin quickly leaned over to observe and wrote on the paper: The tongue is pale, and the tongue coating is thin, white and moist.
Then, she turned her gaze to Wu Dahe and reminded him:
"Okay, uncle, slowly retract your tongue, take your time, don't rush."
Wu Dahe blinked in response.
The subsequent pulse diagnosis did not require the patient's help. Chen Yin took direct action and clearly checked the pulse of Wu Dahe's two hands.
This concludes the diagnosis.
Wu Man realized this and anxiously asked, "Doctor Chen, is there a cure for my father's condition? We don't expect him to recover, but we just hope he can sit up on his own and stop feeling dizzy. It's painful for us to watch him."
When Wu Dahai heard his daughter's words, he slowly turned his head towards the wall, tears oozing from the corners of his eyes.
Chen Yin couldn't bear their worry and immediately replied, "With a daughter like you taking care of him, the patient will definitely recover."
"That's really great!" Wu Man jumped up on the ground excitedly, causing the house to shake.
Realizing that she had done something stupid, she quickly shrank her body and smiled at Chen Yin embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry, Doctor Chen, I'm just too happy. I'm happy that my dad can still recover."
"It's okay. I understand."
"Thank you, Doctor Chen!" Wu Man was almost moved to tears, her eyes red, and she waited quietly for Chen Yin's next arrangements.
"Let me tell you my diagnosis first."
Meeting Wu Man's gaze, Chen Yin put down her pen, glanced at the recorded medical records, and said:
"According to the diagnosis just now, your father has cervical paralysis. The slow pulse and tongue examination findings indicate cold. He needs to be treated with warming to dispel the cold pathogen, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and harmonize the Ying and Wei. Guizhi Jia Gegen Tang is the appropriate treatment."
"I'll write you a prescription now, and you can go get the medicine from someone outside. They'll tell you the price, too."
"Here." Chen Yin tore off the paper with the prescription and handed it to Wu Man.
Wu Man didn't expect that the disease that the doctors at the county hospital couldn't cure could be so easily cured by Chen Yin.
For a moment, she took the prescription, her mind still in shock.
Seeing this, Chen Yin patted Wu Man's shoulder soothingly and said, "Go get the medicine."
"Oh, okay. Thank you, Doctor Chen."
Wu Man suppressed the complex emotions in her heart and spoke in a choked voice.
Obviously, the Wu family was shocked by this good news that came out of the blue.
Wu Dahai was lying on the bed, not caring about the constantly changing images in front of him due to dizziness. He was laughing and crying excitedly, and was already looking forward to the day when he could stand up.
Village chief Yang outside could not hide his surprise. He knew the situation of the Wu family very well, but he did not expect that it could be solved with just one dose of medicine.
When he thought about how the Wu family's financial situation had gradually deteriorated over the years due to this disease, he felt deeply moved.
I thought: If the Wu family had met a good doctor back then, they would have built a new house and had the next generation to take care of them.
Time was tight, and Chen Yin couldn't wait to see the changes in Wu Dahe after he took the medicine, so she could only entrust this task to Wu Man.
"Remember, you must not stop taking the medicine. I have been in Xiaohe Village these days. If you have any problems, come to the village office to find me."
"I know, Doctor Chen, you go ahead and do your work."
Thinking that there were other patients like her father in the village, Wu Man did not dare and did not want to delay Chen Yin's consultation time, so she agreed immediately.
Then, a group of people came out of the Wu family's yard.
Standing on the hillside, Chen Yin looked into the distance. After looking at the houses around her, she raised her hand and glanced at the time.
"Village Chief Yang, there's still more than an hour until the free clinic this afternoon. Which family is closest right now? Let's go check them out first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Village Chief Yang's gaze instantly fell on Yang Qihang's family not far away.
He pointed in the direction of Yang Qihang's family and said, "The closest one is the Yang Qihang family. Their mother, who is also my cousin's wife, suddenly had back pain. At first, she could still walk with a bent back, but later it became more serious and she could only lie in bed."
At this point, Village Chief Yang couldn't help but sigh, lamenting the impermanence of life.
"Speaking of which, since Jianye's wife has been lying in bed, we villagers haven't seen her for a long time."
"Really? It seems the patient's condition isn't good. Let's go over and take a look before we delay treatment."
Chen Yin didn't expect the patient's condition to be so serious that even seeing people was a problem. The relevant situation was not noted on the medical summary she had received previously.
"Okay! This way."
Hearing Chen Yin's sudden serious tone, Village Chief Yang did not dare to waste time and hurriedly took a few people to where Yang Qihang's family was.
Speaking of which, the location of Yang Qihang's family is a bit special. It is right on the hillside of a hill. Apart from their family, no other family lives there. It is very secluded.
The closest person to their home is at the foot of the mountain, about 20 to 30 meters away in a straight line.
When Chen Yin and her group passed by the foot of the mountain, they happened to meet someone from the local family going out, and the two sides met face to face.
When Liu Sulan saw Cunxu and Chen Yin, an excited smile immediately broke out on her face.
"Village Chief, where are you taking Doctor Chen? Doesn't the free clinic start at 2:30 in the afternoon?"
Village Chief Yang looked at the other person's eyes, and knew what Liu Sulan was planning. He explained impatiently:
"That's right, it's this time in the afternoon. It's Doctor Chen's break time, and she's willing to use this time to personally visit the sick families in our village who are unable to get up. I'm taking Doctor Chen to Qihang's house right now."
"So you're going to see Sister Lotus."
Liu Sulan's excitement instantly weakened, and her shining eyes immediately became dim.
Village chief Yang really didn't know what to say about the villagers' love of gossip. He shook his head and prepared to continue upward with Chen Yin and the others.
But at this moment, Liu Sulan seemed to suddenly remember something and said in confusion:
"Village Chief, I haven't heard Sister Hehua's voice for a long time. Could something have happened to her at home?"
When she said the last sentence, she subconsciously lowered her voice, worried that outsiders would hear her and think she was cursing, which would cause dissatisfaction among others.
As she guessed, upon hearing this, Village Chief Yang immediately rebuked:
"How is that possible? Qihang and his wife brought their mother back home specifically to take care of her. How could they not treat their younger sister-in-law badly? You guys just love to talk nonsense when you have nothing to do!"
He threw his hands and walked straight up angrily.
Chen Yin and the others looked at each other and followed silently.
Liu Sulan was left standing there alone, covering her forehead in frustration and slapping her lips twice. "What is that rotten mouth of yours saying again?"
After saying that, she turned and went back to the house.
But after entering the room, Liu Sulan still felt that it was getting weirder and weirder. Although Sister Hehua really had difficulty moving freely later on, could a person really live without any noise?
Thinking of this, she threw down the bucket in her hand without giving up, turned around quickly, and silently followed Chen Yin and her group.
At this time, Chen Yin and Village Chief Yang had already arrived at the door of Yang Qihang's house.
Because they were the only family living on the mountainside, their house and yard were very spacious, with a plum tree, a pear tree, a jujube tree and a pomegranate tree planted in the yard.
This season is the harvest season. At a glance, the yard is full of fruits with charming fragrance.
Perhaps it was because there were too many fruits, there were many fallen fruits in the yard, and the leaves blown down by the wind created a bleak atmosphere.
Village chief Yang glanced at the locked gate with a puzzled look in his eyes.
He slammed the ball a few times and shouted inside:
"Hangzi! Hangzi's wife! If you're home, come and open the door quickly. Doctor Chen is here to see you personally."
The loud voice echoed across the entire mountain, startling a flock of egrets.
But after waiting for a long time, they still didn't hear any sound of anyone moving inside.
Just when Village Chief Yang was wondering whether the young couple had gone to the fields, he suddenly heard the sound of porcelain breaking not far away.
The thought that just emerged was immediately shattered, and he couldn't help but shout again.
"Why did you break the bowl? Come and open the door quickly - Doctor Chen is getting sunburned waiting at the door."
Chen Yin, who was taken as an excuse, wiped the sweat from her face and did not refute.
As soon as he finished speaking, they heard a burst of slow footsteps coming from the house, and it sounded like there were quite a few people.
When the door of the Yang family was opened from the inside, the figures of Yang Qihang and his wife and their three children suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
The couple walked in front holding their youngest son, and their two daughters followed behind.
When they reached the gate, He Mi shyly pushed her little son in her arms and said apologetically:
"Sorry uncle, this little brat doesn't know how to eat. He accidentally spilled the rice and the bowl fell to the ground and broke."
When Yang Qihang heard this, he immediately added:
"I don't know what's wrong with kids these days. They don't even want to eat. It's exhausting for us parents to feed them."
Excuse - The youngest son looked at the stranger in front of the yard gate with a pair of ignorant eyes and a face full of curiosity.
Village chief Yang glanced at his nephew indifferently, not noticing why the family was having lunch at this time. He came here for important business and was not in the mood to pay attention to other details.
"No more nonsense. You two, quickly open the gate. Doctor Chen has come specially to treat your mother. Don't waste this rare opportunity."
Unexpectedly, when Yang Qihang and his wife heard this, the smiles on their faces seemed to freeze and they were speechless for a while.
When he met the village chief's puzzled eyes, Yang Qihang seemed to regain his mind and asked with a smile:
"Uncle, why is it our turn so soon? Didn't I say this morning that ours would be the last one to be treated? Anyway, my mom's illness is just that serious, so we shouldn't delay the doctor's time to treat other patients."
Before Village Chief Yang could express his opinion, Wu Yushu was the first to disagree.
"Are you saying that our Doctor Chen's medical skills are not good? Can't he cure your mother's illness?"
Wu Yushu witnessed Chen Yin's free medical treatment time and time again, and he never saw a disease that she could not cure.
Now Yang Qihang's words seemed to be slandering Chen Yin, who had excellent medical skills. How could he tolerate it?
Like him, everyone from Qingshan Village looked at Yang Qihang angrily, determined to hear an apology from him.
Realizing that her husband had caused public outrage, He Mi immediately explained embarrassedly:
"That's not what my family meant. We just felt that the big hospitals in the city couldn't do anything for Mom's illness. We thought there were other families in the village who needed treatment urgently, so we should be the last ones to see a doctor. We sacrificed ourselves for others, we sacrificed ourselves for others."
This kind of word sounds good when spoken by outsiders, but it always sounds weird when spoken by the owner.
Village Chief Yang seemed to have sensed the strange aura from the young couple. He immediately waved his hand and spoke in an imperative tone.
"Hurry up and open the door, both of you! How can those doctors out there compare to Dr. Chen?"
"We just came from Wu Man's house. Your uncle Wu also went to other hospitals, but those hospitals couldn't do anything. But he was cured by Doctor Chen."
"If you still want your mother to get better, open the door."
The last sentence was heartbreaking. If Yang Qihang didn't want to ruin his reputation, he could only open the door, but he still stood there without moving.
Now, even a fool could see that something was wrong.
Village Chief Yang's expression suddenly changed. He could no longer care about anything else and pleaded with Wu Yushu and the others:
"Yushu, go in and take a look! What happened to your Aunt Hehua?"
At the command, Wu Yushu put his hands on the fence, pushed forward, and jumped, and his figure appeared directly in the yard.
Yang Qihang didn't expect that someone would dare to break in, and he suddenly became anxious.
He quickly ran to Wu Yushu, opened his arms, and questioned with a face full of rage and guilt:
"What on earth do you outsiders want to do?! I can report you to the police station for trespassing into a private residence. Do you understand?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Village Chief Yang and Chen Yin had already walked in through the courtyard gate with the help of the people who jumped into the yard.
Hearing Yang Qihang's words, Village Chief Yang tried hard not to think of the worst guess in his heart, and asked: "You still understand the law!"
"Let's go! Doctor Chen, let's go and see how the patient is doing."
At this point, no one cared about that.
Judging from Yang Qihang's attitude, the patient was obviously in a bad condition, but they still needed to understand how serious the condition was.
Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Yang Qihang slowly squatted down in frustration, holding his head helplessly with his hands, without saying a word.
The next second, he looked at his wife, who was guarding his son tightly at the gate of the yard, with an angry face, and asked:
"Why didn't you stop him?"
When He Mi heard this, she immediately became unhappy. She raised her chin and said disdainfully:
"You, a grown man, couldn't stop it, so how can you expect a woman like me to stop it?"
Yang Qihang didn't expect his wife to dare to refute him. He immediately stood up and approached his wife quickly with a fierce look, raising his fist as if he was going to swing it at He Mi's head.
He Mi subconsciously picked up her son, lowered her body, and let her son stand in front of her.
The ignorant child had no idea what was going on and thought his parents were playing with him, so he laughed happily.
“Hehehe!”
The two little hands clapped excitedly, finally bringing Yang Qihang back to his senses.
Yang Qihang pulled his hair in frustration and blamed himself, saying, "Why didn't I listen to you and bring her porridge?"
"If we don't send food or drinks, no one will know we're home."
"Why couldn't she die earlier!!!"
Hearing this, He Mi slowly put down her son and said with disdain:
"What's the point of saying all this now? You might as well just listen to me and let her fend for herself. At least we can collect the gift money once. Now that the village chief knows about this, who knows what's in store for us both."
At this moment, Yang Qihang kept asking himself in his heart: Why should he be so soft-hearted?
But it was too late to say anything now. In order to continue living in the village, he could only hope that the village chief would give him a break for the sake of his father.
Thinking of this, he rubbed his face and ran into the house in a hurry.
"No! I need the village chief to help keep this a secret, otherwise our family won't be able to stay in the village."
At this moment, Yang Qihang was still thinking about himself.
Little did he know that what he wanted to hide had already been heard clearly by Liu Sulan who followed him.
Because she came a little slowly, when she reached the mountainside, she happened to see Village Chief Yang knocking on the door but no one answered.
As someone living at the foot of the mountain, Liu Sulan naturally knew whether there was anyone at home.
She soon realized that something big must have happened, and she subconsciously hid in the bushes behind where no one would notice her, waiting quietly.
Isn’t it?
Now let Liu Sulan hear this major event that is enough to shock the entire area.
Thinking of her sister Hehua, who was of the same generation as her, falling into this situation, she felt depressed and sat down in the grass without reacting for a long time.
On the other side, Village Chief Yang led Chen Yin subconsciously to the room where he remembered his cousin and his wife living.
But as soon as I opened the door, I was immediately shocked by the empty scene inside.
“How could it be!”
Chen Yin looked over and immediately reminded, "No one is here."
