As Zhang Demei spoke, she began placing the gifts she was carrying, which were full of them, onto the treatment table.
Su Ruyi looked over—there were cigarettes and alcohol, malted milk powder, tin box biscuits, and imported chocolates.
Zhang Demei's generosity made her feel quite embarrassed: "Aunt Zhang, there's really no need for this. Please take the things back; it was just a small favor for me! Please don't be so polite!"
Zhang Demei waved her hand: "Dr. Su! Listen to me! I really have some good news to share with you..."
Su Qiushi looked at the scene before him, but instead of leaving, he pulled out the only stool and sat down.
No matter how you look at it, Zhang Demei seems like she's up to no good.
Her eyebrows and eyes even revealed a kind of aura that resembled Su Qiaoqiao's mother, which made Su Qiushi very uncomfortable.
Zhang Demei continued, "Dr. Su, we're actually old acquaintances. You know Vice Mayor Yi Fengchun, right?"
Su Ruyi thought for a moment—oh, the son of that strange old lady who pretended to be dead!
But she didn't say that aloud. Instead, she nodded and said, "I know him. He's the son of one of my patients."
Zhang Demei then asked, "Do you know Hang Shuhuai?"
Su Ruyi thought about it again...
Hang Shuhuai?
Hang Shuhuai, isn't he the husband of that Iron Yama?
She nodded hesitantly: "I know him too, he's the lover of another one of my patients."
Zhang Demei clapped her hands and said, "Haha, Hang Shuhuai is my son, and Yi Fengchun is my son-in-law!"
Su Ruyi was stunned and pondered for a long time on the spot.
No wonder!
She cured Zhang Demei, and the Iron King of Hell immediately found out that the two were from the same family!
Thinking of this, she looked at Zhang Demei again, the smile on her face gone: "Grandma, did you come to see me today to see a doctor or something else?"
Zhang Demei clapped her hands again: "I'm not sick, I'm perfectly healthy! Dr. Su, it's good news that I came to see you! Good things are coming your way!"
Su Ruyi frowned and asked, "What good news?"
She sensed that it was definitely not a good thing.
Zhang Demei continued, "Speaking of my son, Shu Huai, he's a wonderful husband, no doubt about it!"
Thinking of Hang Shuhuai's meticulous care for Tie Yinghua, Su Ruyi nodded: "That's indeed the case."
Zhang Demei continued, "Him? His job is easy! Taking care of the family is no problem for him, and he's also an excellent cook!"
Su Ruyi became increasingly uneasy as she listened: "What exactly are you trying to say?"
After stammering for a while, Zhang Demei said, "My daughter-in-law wasn't lucky enough to live that long; she passed away..."
"Iron Yama is dead?!" Su Ruyi blurted out involuntarily, then covered her mouth, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!"
Zhang Demei waved her hand: "It's nothing, it's nothing. My daughter-in-law is just too career-oriented, which is why she has exhausted herself."
Su Ruyi found his words increasingly strange, so she turned cold and looked at him.
Zhang Demei chuckled twice more:
"Dr. Su, look—"
You know my son's situation!
He looks a bit older than his age, but he's only in his early thirties and still in his prime.
Should I mention his/her position?
He is the chief editor of the Heilongjiang Provincial Cultural and Historical Office, and he is the real deal!
My monthly salary is just over 180 yuan!
You've been to our house, you've seen it.
Su Ruyi's face was now as black as ink. She had finally understood—had Zhang Demei gone mad and come here to act as a matchmaker for her and that Hang Shuhuai?
Su Qiushi also noticed something amiss at this point.
He asked, "Is your 'thirty-something' thirty-one or thirty-nine?"
Zhang Demei hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "...Thirty-eight."
Su Qiushi sneered, "My granddaughter is only fifteen! Fifteen! You old hag, are you even human?!"
Zhang Demei never expected that the old man sitting behind Dr. Su was actually her grandfather, and her old face immediately turned bright red with embarrassment.
"Grandpa, Dr. Su, please don't be angry!"
This is a good thing, a meritorious deed, and a matter of fate that it has come to fruition!
No, let's just talk it out and then disperse!
Besides, my son is a handsome young man, and Dr. Su has met him before.
Moreover, according to my son, Dr. Su treated him very differently from others.
My son hadn't even mentioned wanting to see a doctor, but Dr. Su took his hand and examined it for a long time!
Su Ruyi was stunned with anger upon hearing this.
It turns out that even a normal medical visit can be interpreted as immoral.
This is truly a terrible era.
Thinking of this, she said seriously, "In traditional Chinese medicine, observation, listening, questioning, and palpation are all necessary diagnostic methods. Taking the pulse is not something that involves holding hands and looking at each other for a long time. Thank you for your kindness, madam. But I am still young and don't think about these things. And even if I did, I wouldn't consider your son."
Zhang Demei's face also darkened: "Dr. Su, you're too young and don't understand the ways of the world. If you were to get together with my son, you could choose any good job in Tieshi or Bingcheng. Why would you need to toil away as a village doctor in Dingjiatun?"
Su Ruyi snorted coldly: "No need to say more. Old lady, please leave."
Zhang Demei gave him one last deep look: "Dr. Su, this thing between you and Shu Huai is definitely going to work out. Do you believe me? If not, let's make a bet!" With that, he stiffened his neck, turned around with a smile, and left.
Su Ruyi hurriedly picked up all the things she had brought and chased after her.
Not far away, a Hongqi sedan was seen, and the old lady was about to get into the back seat.
Su Ruyi hurriedly stuffed everything into the box, saying, "Grandma, I don't need the things. I appreciate your kindness."
The old lady's face was as black as ink, but she still forced a smile: "Dr. Su, don't forget the bet we made!"
Su Ruyi returned to the village clinic and looked at Su Qiushi in bewilderment.
Su Qiushi shook his head and sighed: "Where did this crazy old woman come from?"
Su Ruyi shrugged: "In this world, I think there are more madmen than normal people!"
Both of them treated it as a trivial joke.
Several days passed, and on July 10th, it was time to change Zhong Misu's dressing. Su Ruyi handed the medical kit to Su Qiushi, explained the steps for changing the dressing, and asked him to do it in her place.
Su Qiushi walked until he was almost at the educated youth compound before taking out a cloth bag from his pocket and replacing the medicine powder that Su Ruyi had prepared with an unknown powder inside.
When Zhong Misu saw that it was Su Qiushi who came to change the dressing, she was a little surprised: "Aren't you that... Confused old man?"
“I’m Dr. Su’s grandfather, how am I a muddle-headed old man?” Su Qiushi glared at him.
At this time, neither Shen Heping nor Ji Xuchang were present, and no one could identify him as not being Su Ruyi's grandfather.
Therefore, the old man was fearless!
