Chapter 54 Passerby A in the Courtyard Full of Love (5)
After mailing the gifts, Jiang Yue immediately went to visit her parents' former friends and comrades-in-arms to offer New Year's greetings. She deliberately left home after mealtimes and was still busy until evening before returning home. Her bicycle was covered with gifts, and her storage space was also full of them, all from her elders. It was the New Year, and she couldn't refuse them, so Jiang Yue had no choice but to accept them.
When they came back, they saw the Third Uncle, the door god, again. The Third Uncle's eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Yue's car full of things, but he wasn't surprised, because this had been happening for several years now: "Little Yue, have you finished your New Year's greetings?"
Jiang Yue hummed in agreement, took out a small bag of pastries, about three or four pieces, and handed it to Uncle San: "Uncle San, these pastries are for you to take home for your children."
The old man accepted it with both hands: "Thank you, you're so kind!"
Jiang Yue didn't like the sweetness of the pastries, and it'll probably just sit in her space for who knows when she'll eat them. She's not usually very generous, but seeing how cold and freezing her third uncle looked during the New Year, she couldn't bear it and her compassion got the better of her. So she only bought three or four pastries.
After greeting Uncle San, Jiang Yue went home. Uncle San also went home, and when Aunt San saw him come in with some snacks, she exclaimed, "Who gave you these? That's such a waste!"
The old man rolled his eyes at the old woman and said, "What do you mean by being wasteful?"
After saying that, he gave a thumbs up and said, "That's Jiang Yue for you! So generous!"
"Oh, it's Xiao Jiang. She's really generous. But she doesn't have to worry about food or clothing, and she has a lot of elders. Besides, her elders aren't like Qin Huai's mother-in-law."
The third uncle cut a piece of pastry in half and each took a bite. The third aunt said regretfully, "It's a pity that they don't like our son, otherwise..." After the third aunt finished speaking, the two of them fell silent.
The next day, Jiang Yue didn't go out. She had already visited all the elders she needed to visit. While chatting with an older woman, she saw Sha Zhu leading a girl out of Qin Huai Ru's house. Jiang Yue thought to herself that this must be her cousin Qin Jingru. Jiang Yue looked around for Xu Damao, but didn't see him. Wasn't it said that Xu Damao was the one who caused the trouble?
An older woman nearby noticed Jiang Yue looking around and asked, "Xiao Yue, what are you looking at?"
Jiang Yue glanced around to make sure no one was watching and whispered to an older woman, "I think Sha Zhu is going on a blind date. I hope Xu Damao won't come and ruin it."
"Don't meddle in other people's business. Sha Zhu is stupid, and Xu Damao is no good either. Even if no one sabotages them, it probably won't work."
Why?
The older woman didn't say anything, but pointed at Qin Huairu with her chin: "With her meddling, no one can get away with it." She didn't say much after that, just told Jiang Yue not to get involved. Jiang Yue nodded, since she didn't really want to get involved anyway. After thinking for a moment, she asked the older woman: "Auntie, are you almost finished with your medicine? I remember it's been almost half a month."
"Yes, I'll finish the medicine tomorrow. I feel like it's working. I feel much more comfortable after taking it. I don't have heart palpitations or chest pain anymore." He patted Jiang Yue's hand after saying that.
"That's good, but just to be on the safe side, we should still go to the hospital to get checked out. If there's nothing wrong, we should quickly buy the next two courses of medication."
"Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll go to the hospital for a check-up myself tomorrow after you guys go to work."
"Yes, yes, you can have an old man accompany you, and the two of you can go and have a look."
"Your uncle also said that since taking the medicine you prescribed, he feels much more energetic and sleeps much more comfortably at night, without feeling as tired as before."
Jiang Yue chatted with the older woman for a while before going back to her room. The next day, she went to work. Jiang Yue rode her bike to the factory early in the morning. The older woman got ready early in the morning, and the older man asked his second uncle for help to ask for a day off. The two of them got ready and went to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital, they easily found their way to the third floor. Seeing no one inside, they knocked on the door and went in with an older woman. Dr. Xu, who was inside, stood up to greet them.
"It's you guys."
After they sat down and exchanged pleasantries for a while, the doctor asked the older woman, "What's wrong? Is your heart bothering you again?"
"I'm not feeling unwell, I've been feeling much better lately, but I'm still a little worried, so I came to see you for a checkup!"
"Alright, let me take a look." He then had the older woman extend her arm to take his pulse.
When the doctor took the pulse of the elderly woman, he didn't think much of it at first, because she was a long-time patient and he had always treated her. But as he looked at her, he became serious, his face showing disbelief, and he said, "This is impossible, it's too strange."
After taking the old man's pulse, before he could even ask him a question, the doctor told him to wait and then left. A while later, he invited in an older doctor, who, judging from his words, was probably the old man's mentor. The old man had seen him a few times before. He stood up to greet the doctor, but the old man waved him down and said to the old woman, "Please sit down, I'll take another look at you."
After calming the old man down, the doctor sat down in the doctor's seat and began taking the old woman's pulse. After taking her pulse, the doctor asked the apprentice about her previous pulse patterns. The first doctor also described in detail her pulse patterns from the previous visits and what medicine he had prescribed. The old doctor found it a bit unbelievable and asked the old man if he had seen any other doctors.
An old man gave the prescription Jiang Yue had written to regulate the body to the old doctor. The doctor looked at the prescription, stroked his beard, and exclaimed, "Wonderful!"
After expressing his amazement, the old doctor asked the elderly man and woman if they had taken any other medications. The old man shook his head. The old doctor glanced at the old man but didn't ask any further questions. Although the prescription was ingenious, it couldn't cure heart disease. Seeing that the old man didn't want to talk about it, he didn't press the matter. The apprentice next to him wanted to say something, but the old doctor stopped him.
"Your health is much better than before, so just keep taking this medication. Don't take the previous medications anymore."
After listening to the doctor's words, the woman became quite agitated and then asked the doctor, "Doctor, given my situation, is it possible for me to have a child?"
The old doctor was silent for a moment: "If your health continues to improve, your heart disease will be fine and you can have children. However, you are not young anymore, and the risks are greater than for younger people. You need to think it through carefully."
The elderly couple only heard the beginning about how there were no problems and didn't hear much of the rest. The two women held hands, their eyes filled with tears. After they calmed down, the doctor explained the risks again. The two listened carefully and said they would be prepared. The old doctor finally advised, "If you plan to have a child, it's best to continue taking the medicine on your prescription for a period of time. This is to regulate your body."
"Of course, it's best to ask the doctor who prescribed the medicine for you. Putting aside everything else, I couldn't have prescribed this medicine myself."
After the doctor's visit, the two went home. Once home, the older woman cried for a while, and the older man comforted her for a long time. After the older woman calmed down, the older man checked the time and it was noon. He took out a thousand yuan from where he had hidden the money and went to the factory to find Jiang Yue to buy the remaining two courses of medicine.
