After the old man finished speaking, it was Fu Tiancheng's wife's turn to talk to Jiang Qiao, praising her repeatedly.
Fu Tiancheng, who was standing next to him, had now gotten to know Hou Diankui and the others, and they couldn't let the guests be neglected.
Hou Diankui patted Fu Tiancheng on the shoulder. "Good lad, you've grown up. It's been so many years since we last met. I just didn't expect that you two still don't have children. Jiang Qiao is here this time, so let her help you two get some treatment. I've calculated that you two are destined to have children, it's just a bit late. Her arrival has just fulfilled that expectation."
"Girl, don't just sit there. Take a look at your uncle and aunt to see which one is causing the problem."
Jiang Qiao was surprised that the couple didn't have children. This was a big deal. Without saying a word, she sat down and called the couple over to take turns taking each other's pulses.
"Dad, it's a bit impolite to ask a guest to see a doctor right after they arrive."
Jiang Qiao smiled and shook her head. "Auntie, don't be so polite. If there's a real problem, get treatment as soon as possible so you can have children sooner. Come on over, we don't need to be so formal. Just because Uncle carried me all the way here back then, I have to make sure you have children in the future."
"Come and sit down, everyone. The issue of having children isn't always just a woman's problem; sometimes, the man can also have issues."
Fu Tiancheng felt a little embarrassed. Over the years, the couple had taken a lot of medicine, but to no avail. He had almost given up on having children. However, Hou Diankui's words just now rekindled his extinguished desire.
"Jiang Qiao, can we really have a child?"
Jiang Qiao extended her hand. "Let's take your pulse first, then we'll talk—"
Both husband and wife had problems, but the most significant issue was that Fu Tiancheng's problem was the biggest.
"Auntie, find me a room, I'll give you acupuncture right now."
Later, I'll prepare your medicine and give you acupuncture for a week. If you can finish the medicine I'm giving you, I guarantee you'll have your own child very soon. Now, start preparing.
Fu Tiancheng's wife was stunned. "Are you serious? I can really have my own child? You're not lying to me?"
Jiang Qiao smiled and nodded. "I don't make promises lightly, but once I do, I will definitely keep them. If you don't believe me, ask Master Hou. I'm practically his apprentice, aren't I?"
The woman's tears fell instantly. Without children, only she and her husband truly understood the emotional journey they had gone through over the years.
Ignoring the presence of the younger generation in front of him, Fu Tiancheng put his arm around his wife's shoulder and kept comforting her.
"Why are you crying? This is a good thing! We should be happy. Look, Jiang Qiao has been found, and our child should be coming soon."
Although that's what he said, he couldn't help but shed tears. As her husband, he understood better than anyone how his wife had endured all these years, and it was precisely because he knew that he felt so sorry for her.
"Alright, alright, let's stop crying and let the children laugh at us. Come on, you and Jiang Qiao go get your acupuncture first."
Fu Tiancheng invited Jiang Qiao over as a guest, but he genuinely didn't intend for the girl to treat their illness. He didn't think the girl was proficient in everything.
He works in a hospital himself, so he knows what doctors specialize in. He just didn't expect that this little girl was a jack-of-all-trades, even able to treat gynecological diseases.
The connection was probably formed when we sent the child back to our hometown; now, it's finally come to fruition.
Jiang Qiao greeted Hou Diankui and the others, then went inside with the woman to give her acupuncture.
Treating infertility was not a difficult task for Jiang Qiao. She had read too many medical books on the subject, and later she had also learned the Bian Que Divine Manual. With the help of acupuncture, she was even less worried about not being able to cure the disease.
Even the old master of the Fu family outside didn't expect that everything would happen so coincidentally today.
"Tell me, if I had known it would turn out like this, you would have come to find me sooner. Why did you have to wait so many years?"
Hou Diankui muttered to himself, "This is cause and effect. So, you can't rush it. When the time comes, it will come naturally. It won't be good if it's too early or too late."
Don't worry, this little girl is a real expert at treating illnesses. You can just wait to hold your grandson! Besides, you're probably having twins this time. How about that? You've got a good deal, haven't you?"
Both Fu Tiancheng and his father were surprised after hearing this. "Really?"
Hou Diankui smiled and said, "Whether it's true or not, you'll know whether I'm telling the truth or not after the child is born."
After giving the couple acupuncture, Jiang Qiao began writing a prescription, instructing them on how to take and prepare the medicine. Then, the group sat down around the table to eat and chat.
The couple made thorough preparations to invite Jiang Qiao over for dinner, enough to feed all of them.
The meal finally ended amidst laughter and conversation. Although Jiang Qiao didn't know why Hou Diankui and the others had come, it didn't stop her from inviting the old man to stay at the guesthouse.
“I think that’s fine. I won’t stay at your house. It’ll be more convenient for us at the guesthouse. I’ll come over to visit you tomorrow. My daughter is also coming to give you acupuncture. Just prepare our breakfast in the morning, and we’ll come over to eat.”
"Alright, I'll go to the guesthouse with the girl first. The three of us haven't seen each other in a long time. We'll talk later if something comes up. See you later."
Hou Diankui was never one to drag things out; he left immediately with Chunming and Jiang Qiao, while Fu Tiancheng followed behind to make arrangements.
"Jiang Qiao, can I give your medicine to other people? I have several comrades-in-arms, and none of them have children."
Jiang Qiao nodded. "Okay, but everyone's physical condition and cause of illness are different, so the medicine they take will be different. If the same prescription is used, the effect will probably be different. I can't guarantee whether your comrades will have it. If possible, have them come over. That would be safer."
As they walked, Fu Tiancheng said, "They each have their own jobs, so it's unlikely they'd come all this far. How about we give them some medicine first, and then have them get acupuncture from a local doctor to see if it helps?"
Upon arriving at the guesthouse, Jiang Qiao and Hou Diankui, master and apprentice, chatted about what had happened since they parted ways.
"...My connection with Fu Tiancheng's father is because of my son. Back then, I was being hunted down, and I really couldn't take care of my son. I had no choice but to send him away. Now, my son's boss is Fu Tiancheng's father. This old man has retired and returned to live with his son."
As for my son, he has a problem with me on the one hand, and on the other hand, he thinks I'm a charlatan who can't even protect his own family, and that I brought disaster upon them.
So, all these years, this brat has refused to talk to me.
"Wait a minute, Master Hou, isn't that jade pendant with the array engraved on it supposed to be pretty powerful? How come it couldn't even protect your family? Besides, who did you offend that you're being hunted down?"
