Several heads peeked out from behind the door, curiously watching Shen Zhihuan's back as she sat on the edge of the bed.
Grandpa Xie was so excited that his eyes were shining.
He acted like a little kid, almost as if he was about to run inside and watch.
Seeing his attitude, both Grandma Xie and Zhao Haiyin were helpless.
They were afraid that the commotion he caused would be too great and affect Shen Zhihuan's medical consultation.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged a glance and whispered in unison, "The young lady must be tired after giving Lan Shen acupuncture for so long."
"We just made some pastries, let's give them to Zhihuan to try later, so she can have something to eat."
Upon hearing that he needed to prepare something for Shen Zhihuan, Grandpa Xie's attention was finally diverted.
Grandma Xie and Zhao Haiyin hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.
As soon as the old man left the door, he couldn't wait to start praising it.
"See? My judgment was right, wasn't it? Zhihuan is much more reliable than those quack doctors who used to come to our house."
“Although we’re not professionals, we can still tell at a glance whether someone is reliable or not. This child really has the demeanor of her grandfather.”
Grandma Xie recalled Shen Zhihuan's performance just now and felt equally hopeful.
“Zhihuan is very capable. She just took one pulse and saw the problem. With her here, she might actually be able to wake Lan Shen up.”
"Of course."
Grandpa Xie held his head high, speaking with a proud expression.
“Zhihuan’s technique is just like that of a traditional Chinese medicine doctor who has been around for decades. If Lan Shen is treated by her, there will definitely be no problem.”
Zhao Haiyin couldn't help but laugh at her in-laws' antics, but at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
When she witnessed Shen Zhihuan taking the pulse and treating the patient, she could indeed tell that Shen Zhihuan's medical skills were very impressive.
But she's still a young girl, how could Grandpa Xie have figured out a technique that's been around for decades?
As the family spoke quietly in the courtyard, Shen Zhihuan's treatment finally came to an end.
She carefully pulled out the silver needles one by one, disinfected them, and put them back into the cloth bag before calling out to the outside.
"Could you please bring me some hot water?"
Zhao Haiyin had been preparing outside. Upon hearing her speak, she immediately came in carrying a thermos in one hand and an enamel mug in the other.
She looks elegant and gentle, a stunning beauty with a cool and aloof demeanor, but she is exceptionally efficient and decisive in her work.
"Thank you for your hard work, Zhihuan. How is Lan Shen doing now?"
Zhao Haiyin poured hot water and placed it on the bedside table so that Shen Zhihuan could easily access it at any time.
After finishing all the tasks Shen Zhihuan had instructed, she turned to examine Xie Lanshen's condition.
Before I could even worry, my expression turned into deep surprise.
"I didn't expect acupuncture to be so effective. I can see that Lan Shen's condition is much better than before."
Putting everything else aside, at least Xie Lanshen's furrowed brows have relaxed now.
This is enough to show that after treatment, his condition is no longer as bad as before.
Shen Zhihuan knew that Zhao Haiyin was very worried, so she gently explained to her.
“Brother Xie had a blood clot in his brain that was pressing on his nerves, which is why he hadn’t woken up for a long time. After acupuncture treatment, his blood flow has improved and the pain has been relieved a lot.”
"However, TCM treatment is phased. After today's acupuncture, we need to continue acupuncture for at least a week, and then combine it with massage to achieve the best effect."
Worried that Zhao Haiyin wouldn't understand these things, Shen Zhihuan deliberately spoke very slowly and in great detail.
"Brother Xie's condition is medically termed cerebral contusion, but his condition is not particularly severe."
"Please rest assured, Auntie, as long as you strictly follow my treatment method, Brother Xie will not suffer any aftereffects."
Zhao Haiyin stared blankly at Shen Zhihuan's face, her eyes filled with both gratitude and disbelief.
Even after witnessing the entire treatment process of Shen Zhihuan, she still couldn't easily believe it.
Shen Zhihuan understood her gaze, smiled without saying a word, but felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both feelings and reflections).
It wasn't just her doing that saved Xie Lanshen's life.
She was clearly acting on the shoulders of her mentor and the veteran military doctors in the army.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was gradually relaxing, Old Mrs. Xie also carefully walked in.
Seeing that her grandson's condition had improved significantly, the old man was so moved that he couldn't help but tear up.
"Thank you, Zhihuan, thank you so much. Lan Shen is the only junior in our Xie family. You saved him, which is equivalent to saving the lives of all of us."
Shen Zhihuan waved her hand modestly, but before she could speak, Old Master Xie followed closely behind.
The old man looked at her with eyes as bright as two light bulbs, and kept praising her.
"Old man, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Zhihuan's medical skills are far superior to Old Shen's; she has truly surpassed him."
No wonder she's the future granddaughter-in-law he's chosen; she's really amazing.
Grandpa Xie was delighted and was about to say those words of praise.
He suddenly remembered that Shen Zhihuan had said she had come to break off the engagement, and his face immediately fell.
If my granddaughter-in-law, who just came into my life, were to leave, what difference would it make from the sky falling down?
Grandpa Xie wished he could travel back a few hours and take back everything he had said.
Honestly, why did he have to bring up the issue of whether it would cause any delay?
Zhihuan is such a wonderful child!
If they could marry into this family, it would be incredibly lucky for the Xie family.
If such a granddaughter-in-law were to die, Grandpa Xie would be filled with deep regret.
