Not wanting to linger, Li Ying left the Lu family home and returned to her clinic.
There weren't many patients today, which Sang Zhi could handle, so Li Ying went back to the backyard to keep Chenchen company and discuss lunch plans with Aunt Zhang.
"Yingying, an old woman is looking for you."
Sang Zhi came from the clinic in front to inform Li Ying. From Sang Zhi's words, it seemed that the old woman was determined to see her.
Without hesitation, Li Ying went to the clinic in front.
There were no patients in the clinic, only an elderly woman dressed simply and neatly sitting in a chair. When she saw Li Ying, she quickly stood up, her face kind and gentle.
"Auntie, this is our Dr. Li Ying," Sang Zhi introduced.
Upon hearing this, the woman stepped forward and grasped Li Ying's hand: "I've heard of your great name for a long time, and I've come to see you today because I have a favor to ask of you."
"Please speak."
"My son has gone mad. I'd like to ask you to help me persuade him and enlighten him," the old woman pleaded.
Li Ying was completely baffled. Did they have some misunderstanding about her medical skills?
She runs a medical clinic, not a psychological counseling center.
"Auntie, I..."
"I know only you can do this." The old woman took out a jade pendant from her bosom and handed it to Li Ying.
Upon seeing the jade pendant, Li Ying recognized it.
"Senior Brother?!"
It turned out that the aunt in front of me was the eldest brother's mother.
"Please take me there."
Li Ying took her medical kit and followed the old woman out of the clinic, taking a car to the north of the city.
There was a car parked at the entrance of the alley.
Li Ying recognized the car as belonging to the Lu family and just then saw Lu Yufei walking out of the alley with a dark expression.
"He claimed to be an expert in obstetrics and gynecology, but he turns out to be a madman!" Lu Yufei said angrily.
He looked up and saw Li Ying, narrowed his eyes slightly, chuckled softly, then got into the car and drove away.
Li Ying followed the old woman into the alley and arrived at the home of her eldest brother, Tang Shimu.
The courtyard is small, with a jujube tree planted there. Its lush green leaves provide shade, creating a large area of coolness.
A man covered in filth lay under the tree, holding a wine jug in his hand, the wine spilled everywhere, the whole yard reeking of alcohol.
"Senior Brother!"
Li Ying squatted down and reached out to pull Tang Shimu.
"Get away!"
Tang Shimu brushed Li Ying's hand away and squinted at the person in front of him: "Who are you?"
"I am Li Ying! You've forgotten, I am your junior sister Li Ying."
Tang Shimu felt a little better after hearing Li Ying's name. He threw down the wine bottle in his hand and struggled a few times before finally getting up with Li Ying's help.
"Junior Sister, it's been a long time! What brings you here?"
"I came to see you. Come on, let's go inside and talk." Li Ying helped Tang Shimu into the house and took him back to his bedroom. She then gave her senior brother an acupuncture treatment, and soon Tang Shimu fell asleep peacefully.
"Auntie, what's wrong with Senior Brother...?"
Tang's mother sighed: "In recent years, his medical skills have become more and more exquisite, and more and more people have come to him for treatment. Last year, a family had a difficult childbirth and called Shi Mu to help. However, Shi Mu still couldn't save the mother and child. The family blamed your senior brother for not being good enough at medicine. Later, they had someone tamper with the medicine, and your senior brother's wife and child died on New Year's Eve. From that day on, your senior brother has become like this."
His attempt to save lives backfired, leading to his wife and children suffering the consequences. What a devastating blow this must have been for someone with a heart for the world.
Li Ying knew that her senior brother had a happy marriage, the couple were very loving and harmonious, and they had a smart and lovely child.
Just because he couldn't save someone else's wife and children, his own wife and children suffered such a calamity. How heartbroken must the eldest brother be?
“I really couldn’t bear to see him so depressed. When I learned that you had returned to Shanghai, I remembered that he doted on you, his junior sister, and listened to you the most. I thought I would ask you to come back and talk to him. The dead cannot be brought back to life, but we must continue to live.”
Tang's mother couldn't help but shed tears as she spoke.
Her daughter-in-law and grandson are gone, and now her son is like this, how can she bear it?
"Auntie, I will comfort my eldest brother. Is there any explanation for the deaths of my sister-in-law and nephew?"
“It was done by street thugs, and they were taken away and executed. But even if they were executed a hundred times, my daughter-in-law and my grandson would never come back!”
Tang's mother wept uncontrollably.
Li Ying clenched her fingers and asked, "That family is...?"
"The Chu family of Dongcheng".
The Chu family!
Chu Yiyi was her high school classmate, and she was always domineering.
"Isn't Chu Yiyi's mother perfectly fine?"
Tang's mother sighed: "They said it was because the old master of the Chu family was keeping a woman outside that he didn't go to the hospital and instead called your senior brother."
Hearing what Tang's mother said, Li Ying felt that her senior brother's wife and children were not simply victims of robbery and death. Usually, thugs who rob people don't kill unless they have taken someone else's money.
"Auntie, when my eldest brother feels a little better, brew this for him to drink."
Li Ying took a box of herbs from the medicine box and handed it to Tang's mother. "I'm going to the Ministry of Defense. I know someone there. I'll ask him to help reinvestigate last year's robbery case. I think there must be something fishy going on."
"good."
When Li Ying came out, Lu Yufei's car was parked at the entrance of the alley again.
"Li Ying, do you know this Dr. Tang?" Lu Yufei asked as she saw Li Ying coming out of Tang Shimu's house.
"He is my senior brother."
Lu Yufei raised an eyebrow: "What a coincidence?"
"But it's no use finding him. He can't go back with you to see the second young lady now, so I advise you to take her to the hospital as soon as possible. If it's too late, even if she gets timely treatment, she will be left with a lifelong disability."
