Gu Han was momentarily stunned. "Is Kun coming back alone, or are several people coming back?"
Then I realized that what my mom meant was that I hadn't brought Baozhu with me, which meant I had no status at home now.
Although Gu's father didn't say it aloud, the anticipation he had felt for his son returning alone vanished instantly.
Grandpa Gu slammed his cane on the ground. "I thought it would be of some use, but I didn't expect you couldn't even bring your wife back. What's the point of coming back? You might as well not have come at all."
Gu Han was now caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to go in or not. After a while, he simply picked up the bag he was carrying and placed it on the coffee table in the living room.
“My girlfriend is the granddaughter of that miracle doctor. These things were left behind by that miracle doctor and are especially good for your health. Ten pills each are enough. Don’t give them away. You should know that these things are extremely rare.”
"Really? I didn't expect you to be so lucky, to actually become family with the miracle doctor. It will be much more convenient if your family members are ever unwell."
It's no wonder that Gu's mother is so pragmatic. As long as one can eat grains, one is bound to experience birth, aging, sickness, and death. If there were a miracle doctor who was a relative, one would be extremely proud of it.
Gu Han quickly shattered his mother's illusions, "Then you might be disappointed. Baozhu's grandfather has passed away, but Baozhu studied under him for a long time, so her medical skills should be quite good."
"When did this happen? I've never heard of it before?"
This news stunned the three people standing nearby. After all, Baozhu's grandfather was a renowned doctor, and they hadn't even heard the news of his passing.
Gu Han knew why his grandfather and parents were so surprised. He probably wouldn't have known if he hadn't overheard Baozhu's neighbors mentioning it.
I never expected the old man to be so low-key. He didn't even hold a funeral and just buried him. He was really too low-key.
"They didn't publicize it loudly. I heard that when the old man was near death, he left with his granddaughter and stayed away for a month. In the end, his granddaughter Baozhu came back alone, and Baozhu also said that her grandfather had passed away. It seems that this news is not surprising and should be true."
Gu Han felt incredibly sorry for Baozhu right now. She was an orphan, and she finally had a grandfather who loved and cared for her. But now her grandfather was gone too. How heartbroken she must be.
If he hadn't promised Baozhu he would sleep at home tonight, he would have rushed back right now to comfort her.
Grandpa Gu was quite satisfied with his grandson's answer. "I've also heard that some people know their own physical condition and can tell how long they have to live just by taking their pulse. But that requires exceptional medical skills. I suppose the miracle doctor must have sensed that his time was coming to an end, which is why he left."
Gu's father continued, "Dad is right, it is indeed possible. It's just that the miracle doctor was too low-key and didn't let everyone see him off. It's such a pity that no one was able to send him off."
Gu's mother didn't care about any of that. She just anxiously asked her son, "How much of your girlfriend's medical skills have you learned from her grandfather?"
You should know that the old doctor is a legendary traditional Chinese medicine doctor. Even learning one or two levels of his knowledge would be incredibly beneficial.
The thought that his family would soon have a daughter-in-law who was a miracle doctor made him especially happy; it was a very prestigious thing.
Gu Han pondered his girlfriend's medical skills. He didn't know the exact extent of her abilities, but judging from her level of confidence, her skills were not much different from those of the old master doctor.
"I feel like it's about 70-80% likely, right?"
Upon hearing that her future daughter-in-law was such a skilled doctor, Gu's mother slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "That's wonderful! When are you going to bring my daughter-in-law home? Have you two discussed when to hold the wedding banquet?"
Gu's mother was so impatient, she was even more eager than Gu's grandfather to hold his great-grandson.
Although Gu Han also wanted to marry Baozhu, he knew that Baozhu was definitely not ready, since he had tried to probe the topic before.
However, Baozhu always felt that the two of them were too young and wanted to wait until later to talk about it, but she didn't know how long that "later" would be.
“Baozhu said we’re both still young, so there’s no rush. I’ll tell you when she’s ready to get married, and then you can start preparing.”
Looking at her good-for-nothing son, Gu's mother felt exhausted. "You brat, you have no ability at all. Can't you just coax her to get married sooner? I'm still waiting to hold my grandson. You're such an unreliable brat."
Mr. Gu didn't say anything. Although he also wanted to have a grandson, he felt that his son was still quite young and not mature enough. He thought it would be better to wait until he was older to get married.
At the very least, being older and more experienced will make them more mature and have a greater sense of responsibility towards their families.
So he quickly reassured his wife, "Don't rush, our son is still young. It's fine to wait a few years before getting married. As long as the two of you are happy together, that's all that matters."
Gu's mother, who was about to say something, was immediately silenced by Gu's father's persuasion.
Just as the saying goes, "one thing subdues another," and after being persuaded by her husband, Gu's mother instantly became much gentler and no longer felt that she couldn't stand her son.
However, she was quite satisfied with the gift her son brought back, knowing that the pills made by the miracle doctor were not something everyone could obtain.
When a renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor sees patients, he usually prescribes some Chinese herbal medicine formulas. He wouldn't use the Chinese herbal pills he makes himself.
It depends on fate. If you happen to meet him, he might give you one or two pills. If you don't meet him, you won't be able to get any even if you ask for them later.
"Alright, I find you an eyesore. Go back to your room. Your grandpa, dad, and I will divide these things among ourselves."
They're the kind of people who use and discard things. Perhaps in the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Gu, their son is an accident, while the two of them are their true love.
Fortunately, Gu Han was used to his mother's attitude and went straight upstairs to his room.
Gu Han's family lives in a small villa with a garden. Although the villa itself isn't very big, they can still grow some flowers and plants, so their family's financial situation is quite good.
When Gu Han slept alone at night, the thought of being able to hold his girlfriend the night before made it hard for him to fall asleep.
