Chapter 58: Guaranteed cure with one shot
"This..." Upon hearing about the banner and the letter of commendation, the sentry subconsciously glanced towards Brigade Commander Liang.
The leader was right there; should he accept the gift or not?
Before the sentry could even ask for a reply, Brigade Commander Liang walked over and said, "You can give me the items. I'm the leader here, and I can pass them on for you. What kind of praise are you talking about?"
Seeing that the sentry next to them did not object, the young man and the old man immediately handed over what they were holding.
The young man was Wu Gui, the man who had rushed to the clinic last night when his wife nearly had a difficult childbirth. Next to him was his wife's grandfather, who was also the village chief.
Wu Guipo quickly said, "My wife gave birth last night. The midwife said the baby was breech and in danger of dying. It was Dr. Jiang Ning from the family compound who saved my wife. We came here specifically to thank her."
The old man extended his hand to Commander Liang and said solemnly, "Sir, I am the village head of the next village. I know that this place is strictly off-limits and cannot be entered casually. The doctor saved my granddaughter and great-grandson, so I couldn't just leave without expressing my gratitude. Therefore, I specially wrote a letter of commendation to praise the doctor."
Brigade Commander Liang nodded and accepted their banner and letter of commendation. "Okay, I'll take these things for now and pass them on to you."
Wu Gui and the village chief left satisfied. They wanted to thank him in person, but when they went to the clinic today, they found no one there. So they decided to hand the things over to the soldiers in the family compound and thank Jiang Ning in person when she came to the clinic.
Wu Gui and the old man left.
Brigade Commander Liang glanced at the envelope. The entire letter was full of praise for Dr. Jiang Ning. He handed the envelope to the orderly beside him and said, "Go and deliver this letter of commendation to the broadcasting station in the family compound. Have the announcer publicly praise Deputy Regiment Commander Shen's wife for her actions."
"yes."
Jiang Ning has already arrived at school.
When Jiang Ning arrived at the second-grade classroom, the two children who had been separated were now fighting again for some unknown reason.
Someone was trying to break up the fight—no, actually, three people were beating up Zhiqi together.
When Grandma Wang saw the children fighting, she was so anxious that she paced around in circles. When she saw her grandson, Zhiqi, with a bruised and swollen face, she immediately rushed over and started pushing and pinching him.
Most of the people around were students, and a few parents who were watching indifferently.
They won't intervene as long as it doesn't affect their children.
Huo Zhiqi faced three opponents without fear, beating Wang Xiaotian and Wang Xiaodi until they were bruised and swollen. He himself also suffered some minor injuries.
However, Feng Chuan, the teacher, did not intervene to stop the students from beating each other, only occasionally saying, "Stop fighting, let's talk things out."
Huo Zhiqi calmed down when he said that, but Wang Xiaotian was being cheeky and cursing Jiang Ning again, so Huo Zhiqi couldn't help but rush up and start fighting with him.
Jiang Ning pushed through the crowd and approached. When she saw Old Mrs. Wang shamelessly hitting the child, her expression immediately turned ugly. Without thinking, she reached out and pulled Old Mrs. Wang away.
An old woman's strength is no match for that of young Jiang Ning.
When Grandma Wang saw Jiang Ning pull her up, she rolled her eyes, stumbled, and sat down on the ground, crying out, "Oh dear, my old woman's back! How could you, a young girl, push me like that? My legs hurt so much too, I'm afraid I'll be crippled and won't be able to get up."
"God, why am I so unlucky? I'm so old and I'm still being bullied by young people. Is there no justice in this world?!"
When this old woman cries, she makes quite a commotion.
There were already some onlookers outside, and after shouting a few times, even more people gathered around.
A group of people gathered outside the classroom.
Everyone was astonished to see the old woman sitting on the classroom floor throwing a tantrum.
His gaze fell on Jiang Ning again, and his eyes changed the moment he saw her bright and beautiful face.
Old Mrs. Wang's favorite tactic is to throw a tantrum and roll around on the ground.
Jiang Ning ignored her and went up to Huo Zhiqi. She saw that there were scratches on his face, and other exposed areas were also covered in bruises.
Suppressing her anger, Jiang Ning took out a handkerchief and wiped Huo Zhiqi's somewhat dirty face.
Huo Zhiqi felt uneasy when he saw that she was silent. His mother had said that she didn't like naughty children. He had gotten into a fight with someone this time, which had caused her trouble. What if she suddenly didn't want him anymore?
The more Huo Zhiqi thought about this possibility, the paler his face became. He was afraid that Jiang Ning would immediately say that she didn't want him anymore.
He lowered his head again, trying to hide the helplessness on his face.
Even if... even if Jiang Ning really doesn't want him anymore, he'll accept it; it was him who misbehaved first.
Anyone who gets into a fight is a bad kid, regardless of the reason.
Jiang Ning stuffed a handkerchief into his hand and patted Huo Zhiqi's head.
Looking at his tense body, as if she could sense his nervousness and unease, Jiang Ning softened her tone, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Huo Zhiqi suddenly raised his head and stared wide-eyed, his pupils trembling.
He expected to be met with Jiang Ning's scolding.
Jiang Ning coaxed Zhiqi with another piece of candy, just like coaxing a child, before turning to look at Old Lady Wang, who was still sitting on the ground.
She took two steps over and squatted down in front of Old Lady Wang.
"Why are you squatting down? Don't even think about touching me, or you'll make my injury worse!"
"Let me tell you, your son hit my grandson, and you crippled me too. This isn't over!"
Old Mrs. Wang spoke before Jiang Ning could. She still remembered Jiang Ning's sharp tongue. This time, she was determined to stick to whatever Jiang Ning said and make her lose face so that she would never be able to hold her head up in the family compound again!
However, she was wrong this time. Jiang Ning silently took out a small cloth bag from her handbag and slowly opened it with light and quick movements.
When she pulled out a silver needle that was almost the length of a palm, everyone around her gasped in unison.
Jiang Ning approached Old Lady Wang with the silver needle in her hand.
As the silver needle drew ever closer, Old Lady Wang silently moved back, only to be grabbed by the leg by Jiang Ning. "What...what are you doing?"
"What are you doing?" Jiang Ning tilted her head, then grinned. "Aren't you in pain? I'll give you acupuncture to relieve the pain. Don't worry, I'm very skilled. I guarantee one needle will cure you completely."
What kind of technology? Don't doctors always talk about medical skills?!
"No...no need."
"Give it a try. If it paralyzes you, it's on me. I'll pay you whatever it takes." Jiang Ning held up the silver needles in her hand, her face showing an expression that said, "I will definitely compensate you."
She held the silver needle high in her hand, and the cold glint that seemed to flash across the needle sent shivers down one's spine.
It wasn't the silver needles that frightened Old Lady Wang, but rather Jiang Ning's words that scared her.
What do you mean by paralyzing her with needles? Is it something you can just stab anyone with?!
She didn't want to be bedridden like this for the rest of her life!
Just as Jiang Ning was about to insert the needle, Old Lady Wang suddenly got up from the ground and shoved Jiang Ning without saying a word, shouting, "Don't prick me!"
Jiang Ning was pushed and staggered back two steps. Her lower back slammed into a table with a 'bang', making the table creak loudly, which was heard by everyone in the classroom.
Suddenly, Jiang Ning looked up and tears streamed down her face.
Her beautiful eyes filled with tears, then, as if she had discovered something, her eyes widened in disbelief. "Aunt Wang, your leg isn't lame! So you were trying to extort money from me by crying out in pain?"
Tears still clung to Jiang Ning's face as she clutched her lower back, looking utterly pitiful. "Aunt Wang, I was genuinely trying to treat you, how could you push me? Waaah, it hurts so much! Is my back broken?"
