"Thank you for your kind words, Uncle. I'm all better now. With another month of rest, I'll be back to normal."
The fact that I recovered almost completely in a month and a half is all thanks to Su Wantang's special bone-healing ointment and various nourishing medicinal diets.
Hearing this, Li Yongfeng became interested.
He also knew a little about Lu Huai'an's situation. He heard that Old Master Gu had been sentenced to death and would probably be crippled for the rest of his life.
"Which miracle doctor will step in?"
Li Jia rolled her eyes: "Dad, are you out of your mind? It's right here, even though it's far away."
Li Yongfeng was a little skeptical, but seeing that Lu Huai'an didn't deny it, his heart sank.
He laughed and said, "Wantang, with this skill, your uncle will be relying on you from now on."
"I refuse."
The atmosphere froze for a moment after Su Wantang uttered those words.
"Uncle, you'd better not look for me. I really hope you stay healthy and live a long life so you can be my support in the future."
"Hahaha." Li Yongfeng laughed heartily.
No wonder his daughter liked her; he also liked this endearing girl a little.
“Okay, no problem,” he replied.
The two got along very well as they chatted, and before they knew it, Su Wantang suddenly started taking Li Yongfeng's pulse. And when she did, she actually found something out.
"Uncle, have you been experiencing intermittent pain in your upper right abdomen lately? You've also been feeling nauseous when you eat."
Before Li Yongfeng could speak, Li Jia, who had just left home, interrupted.
"Yes, my dad used to be able to eat three bowls of rice, like a pig, but now he only eats half a bowl."
"Li Jia!" Li Yongfeng wanted to hit this rebellious daughter!
He's a pig! What are you? A piglet?
"Uncle, you probably have gallstones in your gallbladder, but it's not a big problem. I'll give you a few acupuncture treatments and prescribe some medicine, and you'll be fine."
"Then Uncle will thank Wan Tang in advance."
While Su Wantang was treating Li Yongfeng, Lu Huaidong, who had come from the military region, arrived.
Zhang Li opened the door, and he walked into the room. Lu Huai'an was the first person to notice him.
Seeing his intense gaze fixed on the scene inside the room, Lu Huai'an remained silent.
When Su Wantang finished her acupuncture and Li Yongfeng praised her medical skills with a radiant smile, Lu Huai'an said softly.
"Cousin, shall we go have a chat?"
The two entered the living room.
“My cousin saw what happened inside the house. Wan Tang wasn’t lying, and she wasn’t teasing him.”
Lu Huaidong remained silent.
Lu Huai'an added, "Cousin, my leg will be able to stand up again in another month, just like before, and I'll be able to go to the battlefield."
Lu Huaidong's pupils suddenly contracted.
"You're lying to me?"
"Cousin, you know my personality, I don't lie."
Lu Huaidong remained silent again.
“Cousin, Wan Tang is willing to help you and your sister-in-law for the sake of Grandpa and me. You don’t have to accept this favor, but you should know that Wan Tang is not begging you to treat her illness.”
"Whether you seize the opportunity or not is up to you, cousin."
"But I won't let Wan Tang suffer because of me."
"This is the first and the last time."
Lu Huaidong remained silent. Lu Huai'an sighed and finally said, "Cousin, if you still don't believe me, think about whether you damaged your kidneys in the past!"
Lu Huaidong's breathing became erratic instantly.
That happened eight years ago.
But how could that be?
But another thought popped into my head, urging him to believe it.
"Huai—"
Lu Huaidong was about to ask a few more questions when he was interrupted by Zhang Li, who came out of the kitchen carrying dishes.
"Dinner is ready, come and eat."
At the dinner table, there was a harmonious atmosphere.
Su Wantang was warmly received by the Li family, and Lu Huai'an's eyes sparkled with a smile, with a hint of barely perceptible pride hidden deep within.
Everyone except Lu Huaidong ate with great relish.
After finishing their meal and chatting for a while, Su Wantang and Lu Huai'an went back home with bags and packages that they couldn't refuse.
As the two were about to leave, Li Jia frantically winked at Lu Huaidong.
You lied to me, and feeling guilty won't help! I'll only forgive you if you accept treatment.
But.
Lu Huaidong pursed his lips repeatedly but still didn't say anything. He was so angry that as soon as the person left, Li Jia started hitting and punching him.
"Lu Huaidong, you idiot! What are you being stubborn about now? You just don't believe that it won't kill anyone, so what's wrong with letting me eat some?"
"daughter in law--"
"Don't call me. I'll just ask you one question: are you going to get treatment or not?"
At this moment, Lu Huaidong was also experiencing a struggle between heaven and man in his mind.
He was already inclined to believe Lu Huai'an, but he couldn't bring himself to admit it.
After all, this is a matter of male dignity; once he nods, it's tantamount to admitting that he's no good.
"Okay, okay!"
"You go by yourself!"
Li Jia slammed the door and left.
Zhang Li wanted to chase after him, but Li Yongfeng stopped her with a look.
He patted his son-in-law Lu Huaidong on the shoulder, his words piercing straight to the heart.
"Huaidong, you need to understand this: my grandson doesn't necessarily have to call you Dad!"
Lu Huaidong's pupils dilated in shock: "Dad."
"It means exactly what you think."
"I will not get a divorce."
"Then let's take action."
It has to be said, experience truly matters.
Lu Huaidong ran after him frantically.
"Wife, wife, I'll cure you."
"I'd drink it even if it was rat poison!"
"Pah! Pah! Pah! What nonsense are you talking about? I don't want to be a widow!"
"Huaidong, you can rest assured. Huai'an's leg injury was so serious, but it was cured. Your kidney deficiency is just a minor problem. Wantang can definitely cure it."
Lu Huaidong replied with a dark expression, "Hmm."
The couple were talking and didn't notice the man not far away suddenly stop.
Lu Huai'an, is your leg healed?
