Chapter 71: Strange Hidden Illness & Are You So Sure That the Child...
When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked, but it was a shock that was extremely quiet.
Everyone just stared at Ma Qianfu blankly, and slowly, everyone's eyes began to move downwards...
Ma Qianfu reflexively clamped his legs together, two drops of cold sweat dripping down his forehead, "What are you talking about? What's wrong with me?"
"Sexual ability is not good."
You see, he still asked what was wrong. If he didn't ask, maybe he could have gotten away with it, but he asked! As a responsible doctor, Shu Jinyue must of course answer every question.
Just as these five words came out of Shu Jinyue's mouth, the surroundings were still quiet, terrifyingly quiet... However, three seconds later, someone couldn't help but "chuckle" first, and all kinds of laughter suddenly came from the surroundings, both men and women were laughing.
"Oh my god, I am dying of laughter. We are all adults, so stop pretending and asking what is wrong."
"If you don't ask, you can save some face."
Again, it’s not that people have no sympathy, but Sister Qiao has spread his “glorious deeds” so that everyone knows about it. Even a real villain like Director Liu can’t stand it. How can a person who doesn’t even raise his own daughter be a pig or a dog?
But this guy, he is not good enough now.
Of course everyone can laugh to their heart's content!
"What are you talking about? You're talking nonsense. I'm going to sue you. I'm going to report you. You're making up stories and insulting people's dignity!" The old woman couldn't help it anymore. She jumped up and was about to strangle Jin Yue.
How could so many people allow her to do anything? Several older women held her down tightly and said, "You want to do something, right? It just so happens that our Xinqiao Street armed officers haven't left work yet."
Today's armed specialists have guns.
The old woman was stunned, and she didn't dare to move, but she firmly believed that her son was wrongly accused. "You are talking nonsense, my son is fine, you are talking nonsense!"
Shu Jinyue looked at Ma Qianfu, "Why don't you tell her whether you can do it or not?"
Ma Qianfu’s face turned black, “Mom…” Please shut up.
He remembered what his ex-wife Ma Shuhui had said, that his parents controlled him too much, and he always acted like a child without his own opinion in front of his parents, and she was very tired. This time of seeing a doctor was just like countless times before. He didn't come to see the young Chinese doctor named Shu, but his mother insisted on asking him to come. After he came, he even forced others to feel his pulse, and had to do it in public. This time, the problem came out. It was so embarrassing!
But no matter how much he hates me, it is an internal conflict, and a man's dignity must be maintained. "As I get older, I am not as good as I was when I was young. Everyone knows this. It's like a machine. After running for a long time, it will occasionally get stuck, or fail to start, or shut down early, right?"
There were many male comrades present, and everyone agreed with what they heard. It’s impossible that a man in his forties can still be as capable as he was in his early twenties, right? Then you are not a human being.
So, everyone looked at Jin Yue as if he were an ignorant child at home. They thought that no matter how powerful his medical skills were, he would not understand things he had not experienced. After all, he was still young.
Jin Yue laughed, "I didn't say your machine couldn't start, nor did I say you shut it down early."
“That’s right, if it weren’t for these two situations, I wouldn’t be unable to function.” Ma’s ex-husband straightened his chest and spoke righteously. He felt that he was able to function again.
"I mean the drill bit won't work."
Everyone's eyes moved downward again, and Ma Qianfu once again clamped his legs together. This time, not only did he break out in a cold sweat, his lips trembled, and his voice stammered: "You, you, you are talking nonsense."
But everyone knew that he was just holding on, and this was obviously a far-fetched argument.
"What's wrong with the drill? You're not married, little girl. You know nothing!" The old woman added fuel to the fire.
Very good, Shu Jinyue smiled again.
Ma Qianfu felt a chill on his back. He finally understood what it meant to be afraid of someone's smile. If someone had told him before that one day he would be afraid of a little girl's smile, he would definitely have cursed at them. But now, he was really afraid.
As soon as Shu Jinyue smiled, he was about to reveal shocking news.
"You have a problem that no one knows about. Your return is cold."
Everyone was stunned. What...is wrong? How could that place be cold? It's either not felt at all or warm when it's in use, like a friction-generated heat machine. It's very hot. How could it be cold?
And this time, Ma's ex-husband did not deny it——
He was shocked by Shu Jinyue's words, because he did have this problem, but he couldn't describe it clearly to others.
Yes, that place of his has always been cold whether he is using it or not, and has been like this since he was a child. However, he never knew this because his ex-wife Ma Shuhui had never experienced other men and thought that this was how it should be.
It wasn't until he met Sun Hongyan and they became familiar with each other that she told him that his private part was cold and that something seemed wrong. She said her ex-husband was hot.
He was quite angry at that time, but later he didn't know whether it was a psychological effect or he was really sick, he just felt it was really not good, even the experience was not good. He remembered that when they were young, everyone discussed this matter and said it was very cool and □□, but he really didn't have such a strong feeling.
He had been brainwashing himself that this was the case, that there were huge differences between men, just like some people could be 1.8 meters tall, while others could hardly be 1.5 meters tall. He was born like this, he was normal, and he had no problems at all... He had been brainwashed so much that he forgot to mention it when he went to see the doctor.
If he hadn't mentioned it, no doctor would have been able to see the problem...Shu Jinyue was the first one.
How could she, an unmarried girl, understand this?
"Come on, Dr. Shu is a doctor. He has studied Chinese medicine for many years. He is best at treating difficult and complicated diseases. If she doesn't know, who will know?" Sister Qiao didn't necessarily want to protect Jin Yue and help her out. She just wanted to watch the fun and scolded her: "Look at you, you didn't tell the truth when I asked you to, and you insisted on asking Jin Yue to feel his pulse in public. Something went wrong, and you lost face again."
Even if the old woman was protecting her child, she didn't dare to be stubborn. She was afraid that if she continued to be stubborn, Jin Yue would smile and reveal more shocking news.
"It's okay, it's okay. As long as the disease is discovered, we should treat it well. We should believe in the professional ability of our Doctor Shu. She will do her best, right, Doctor Shu?" It was Secretary Liu who tried hard to smooth things over and save face for the Ma family. He personally sent the Ma family over, but everyone was so busy watching the fun that they didn't notice.
What was even more shocking was that outside the crowd, a dozen colleagues from the epidemic prevention station appeared and were led by Ma Shuhui... Ah, this... Ma's ex-husband felt sick.
How can I describe his mentality? He no longer likes Ma Shuhui now, but they are young couple after all, and they had true feelings when they were in school. It would be more embarrassing for her to find out than for Sun Hongyan to say "You are not as good as my ex-husband".
His face was red, white and black, like an overturned palette. Oh no, no, Jin Yue thought to himself, the palette hasn't been overturned yet - because it's not green yet.
"Okay, now can you tell me the truth?"
She smiled so sweetly, but Ma's ex-husband shuddered, "Okay, I'll tell you, help me take a look."
He thought that since the most embarrassing thing was known to everyone, it didn't matter.
After all, he felt that the most embarrassing thing in his life last night was pooping in his pants in front of a dozen people in the conference room. Who would have thought that the most embarrassing thing today would be to let his ex-wife and her colleagues know that he was not capable? And now, he had nothing left to lose.
"Your diarrhea problem is actually an old one. It has been going on for many years, right?"
"No, I remember it only appeared after I got sick this time."
Jin Yue shook his head. "Think carefully, did you often have loose stools before? The frequency was not much, about twice a day, and the stools were watery and white in color, but you didn't take it seriously, thinking that you just ate something bad."
After hearing this, Ma Qianfu nodded. It was indeed true, but because it didn't happen often and he didn't feel uncomfortable anywhere, he didn't take it seriously. After all, in his mind, loose stools were not a disease, and he would never see a doctor.
"And do you get tired easily, always feel tired, and get sleepy after meals?"
"Yes, that's right!"
Jin Yue laughed, and she laughed again, "Your fundamental problem is spleen deficiency, not kidney deficiency."
Ma Qianfu didn't know anything about spleen and kidneys. He only remembered that he had seen so many doctors, and they all said that he had kidney deficiency. Even the old Chinese doctor Qi said the same thing a few days ago.
"You must have seen a lot of Chinese medicine practitioners for male problems before, right?"
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Yes."
Although he was stubborn and brainwashed himself that it was normal, Sun Hongyan was not Ma Shuhui who knew nothing. Sun Hongyan was experienced. There was a gap when there was a comparison. No matter how good her acting skills were, there would always be times when she couldn't hold back and accidentally showed her dissatisfaction on her face. His heart tightened——
In order to keep his young wife and to please her, he had to take medicine and take care of himself.
What Shu Jinyue didn't say was that he had a pale complexion, was afraid of wind, and would get diarrhea if he ate cold food or was blown by cold wind. Coupled with the fact that "no," nine out of ten Chinese doctors would think he had kidney deficiency. Once diagnosed with kidney deficiency, they would use drugs to tonify the kidney and strengthen the yang.
If a person with weak spleen and stomach takes a lot of hot tonic medicine for a long time, not only will it not increase his fire power, but it will damage his spleen and stomach. No matter how good the things are, if they cannot be digested, they will become garbage and block the body.
Just like when a stampede happens, the people at the back don't know that the road ahead is blocked and they can't move forward, and they keep moving forward. When the traffic reaches its limit, a group of people will be trampled.
The more blocked it is, the worse it runs, the less likely the blood and yang energy can reach the drill bit, so it would be strange if it could get hot!
At the same time, due to long-term blockage and stagnation, his tongue coating became thick, greasy and yellow. After this hospitalization, he slept in bed every day, his activity level decreased, and the blockage of his spleen and stomach became more obvious, so the amoebiasis was cured but turned into real diarrhea.
This time he went to see Chinese doctors for his diarrhea. Everyone saw his yellow and greasy tongue coating and felt his deep and stringy pulse, and immediately diagnosed him with damp-heat blocking the middle burner. However, they did not see the real cause and pathogenesis of his illness. Giving him a large amount of cold medicines only made his diarrhea worse.
As a result, he could no longer tolerate cold wind or eating popsicles, as he would get diarrhea if he did so.
"I've often heard you talk about spleen deficiency, and I understand a little bit about it, but this... isn't kidney deficiency always considered for men's problems? Could it be that his hidden illness is also caused by spleen deficiency?" Secretary Liu asked curiously.
Shu Jinyue nodded, it’s true.
This is also the reason why even people like Dr. Qi, an old Chinese doctor, cannot cure it, because most people think that the responsibility lies with the kidneys, but forget a sentence in the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" - "If the Yangming meridian is weak, the tendons will be loose."
It means that weakness of the Yangming meridian will lead to relaxation of the tendons, which will lead to loose joints, poor mobility and impotence.
Although he has always denied that he is impotent and brainwashed himself that it is a normal condition for middle-aged people, Jin Yue is convinced that he is impotent, and his coldness is also a manifestation of weak tendons and poor blood circulation. She even suspects... Well, let's wait a little longer, there's no rush.
As long as it is verified, she will be sure of her guess.
It was precisely because the old Chinese doctor Qi was not well versed in the classics of Chinese medicine that he did not think of this sentence and simply attributed his problem to kidney deficiency. He kept using kidney-tonifying and aphrodisiac medicines, which caused his diarrhea to become more and more serious. However, Jin Yue's treatment idea changed 180 degrees - he focused on treating the spleen.
"I'll prescribe some rhubarb and aconite soup if you'd like to take it."
"Rhubarb? You prescribed rhubarb for my son? He is seeking your help for diarrhea, not constipation! You quack!" The old woman was not happy again and pointed at Jin Yue and started scolding him.
Even the best temper of Jin Yue was ignited, "If you don't like it, get out."
The scene became awkward for a moment, no one expected that she would get so angry. Jin Yue didn't want to curse at first, but even a clay man has his own temper. This old woman kept interrupting and cursing, who could stand it?
Jin Yue cast a sympathetic look at Ma Shuhui. It was really hard for her to tolerate this ex-mother-in-law for so many years. If it were her, she would have to pack up and run away in less than three months.
Ma Shuhui's face remained stern, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.
The others' attention was not here, and they were also a little nervous. Although Jin Yue felt very comfortable scolding, was it really right to use rhubarb to treat diarrhea? Everyone present knows that rhubarb is a laxative. Wouldn't the more you eat rhubarb the more diarrhea you'll have? Could it be that Jin Yue made a mistake?
Sister Qiao was a little nervous and tugged at Jin Yue's sleeve, "Do you really want to use this?"
Jin Yue nodded, "My idea is to use Da Huang Fu Zi Tang to cleanse the stomach and intestines first, sweep out the garbage that is stagnant inside, and then consider the problem of coldness in the intestines. It's up to you whether to treat it or not."
Anyway, she explained it clearly and expressed her thoughts, fulfilling her duty as a doctor to inform. After they are informed, it is up to them to make their own choice.
When everyone saw her leaving, they automatically made way for her and watched her leave work without looking back.
"What? You're not off work yet?" Old Zhu shouted, and everyone just woke up as if from a dream. "Let's go, let's go, let's go home and eat!"
The people from the street office left, the people from the epidemic prevention station left, and only the Ma family was left standing at the door, not knowing where to go.
Secretary Liu was too lazy to greet them. He caught up with Ma Shuhui and the others and looked at Ma Shuhui, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
He couldn't bear it any longer and asked the Ma family to find someone to plead for them, so he brought them to Xinqiao Street Station. Unexpectedly, he heard such explosive and cruel news.
It was too cruel for Ma Shuhui, a female comrade. She was usually decisive and led by example, but she had no idea how difficult it had been for her over the years. She gave birth to a daughter with cerebral palsy, was looked down upon by everyone in her husband's family, had to endure such a difficult mother-in-law, a father-in-law who never said a word but indulged his son infinitely, and a husband who refused to admit his mistakes.
An ordinary woman would have divorced him eight hundred times long ago. But she has been able to endure for so many years and has never mentioned their faults in other people's eyes or said that the men are not good enough. She really is a person with a high enough sense of morality.
Everyone used to only admire her attitude and ability at work, but from today on, everyone began to admire her character and patience.
But Shu Jinyue felt a little regretful. She would rather Ma Shuhui was not so tolerant, maybe she could jump out of the fire pit earlier. If she met such a pig-dog man, she would have to go to the door of their unit with a loudspeaker and shout for half an hour every day to let the whole world know that he is not capable and has a cruel heart.
Why cover up for him? Not worthy!
"I don't think Ma Shuhui is covering up for her ex-husband. I'm afraid she herself doesn't understand it very well." Li Yulan whispered, "I didn't know anything before I got married. Whether it's appropriate or not, whether it works or not, we also need to compare."
Yes, if Ma’s ex-husband had been telling her from the beginning that “all men in the world have the same time and length” and “I’m one of the best men”, then Ma Shuhui might have been brainwashed by him?
Isn’t this what scumbag PUA does? Those girls who are like a blank sheet of paper and have never experienced anything are their targets. They constantly instill in them the idea that “I am great and awesome”, and they have no way to verify it, so they believe it...until they change to someone else, they know what is normal.
Li Yulan thought about it and couldn't figure it out: "But she is a medical student, she should know something about the highs and lows."
Jin Yue shook his head: "Not necessarily. Medical students also have their own blind spots in knowledge."
"Forget it, it's her bad luck to meet this guy." Li Yulan smiled and took Jin Yue's hand, "Good Jin Yue, you will avenge her anyway, right?"
"What? Even you think that I'm using rhubarb to retaliate against him?" Shu Jinyue smiled bitterly. She was not so bored that she would not resort to such childish means as giving him laxatives.
Because she knew that the retribution for Ma's ex-husband was still to come.
"Are you really treating him? I remember the barefoot doctor in our village prescribed rhubarb for my dad to treat constipation. He didn't eat much but he had diarrhea for two days. If Ma Qianfu eats more, won't he collapse from diarrhea?"
Jin Yue nodded, then shook his head, "Yes, it will cause diarrhea, but I'm not asking him to eat it often. I just want him to empty his stomach first, and then use other medicines to clear his drill bit. Do you understand?"
Li Yulan blushed, "Just talk nonsense."
"Hey, Sister Yulan, don't be so shy. This is not something shameful. We are discussing science and the human body... Oops!" Xu Duan actually followed them and listened for who knows how long.
"Why are you like this? Do you walk without making any sound?"
Xu Duan smiled and said, "I just caught up with you and was about to say hello." Meaning that he didn't hear anything.
Jin Yueke didn't believe it. His hearing was extraordinary. "When did you come back?"
"Last night, it was too late so I didn't come to see you."
Jin Yue saw that his bicycle pocket was full of some Haicheng specialties, two fish and two three-line meats. "Are you doing wholesale?"
"Officially pay a visit to Aunt Zhao and Teacher Shu."
Jin Yue blushed, knowing what he meant. In fact, he had mentioned that he wanted to come before, but she stopped him, feeling that he didn't want his parents to know. But now that they already knew, if she didn't let him come, it seemed unfair to him, and his parents might even misunderstand, thinking that he didn't know etiquette and still didn't come home after talking for so long.
In the past, when she ate dumplings and steamed buns, she came here as Xu Ping’s younger brother, but today, she came here as Shu Jinyue’s boyfriend.
Li Yulan didn't want to be a light bulb, so she slipped away early.
The two of them slowly pushed the cart into Liuye Hutong. When they saw them, everyone greeted them warmly, "Hey, Jin Yue and your boyfriend are coming back together?"
Xu Duan was not very talkative to anyone other than Jin Yue. Although everyone was curious, they did not dare to ask questions like they did to the other brothers-in-law in Liuye Hutong. Occasionally, when their eyes met his, they would be particularly reserved.
But there was one exception. It was a girl with long flowing hair. She was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old and very beautiful. Jin Yue thought for a long time before she remembered that this was Niu Xiaofang. No wonder she had no impression of the name and could not match it with the person, because this was not her real name!
Her real name is Niu Revolution. I heard that her father gave her the name when he was drunk. Revolution is a good word, but it has to be combined with Niu and used on a beautiful girl...
Speaking of Niu Revolution, Xiao Jinyue was often bullied by her. Because of her good family conditions and good academic performance, she was the typical elementary school student who was highly valued by teachers. She was the eyes and ears of the teacher in school, and was always ready to report small things to the teacher. But when she came back, she was the well-deserved big sister of the entire Liuye Hutong.
Shu Jinyue has disliked her since childhood. What a coincidence, Niu Revolution, oh no, Niu Xiaofang also dislikes Shu Jinyue... and Shu Wenyun the most.
There is no need to talk about Shu Wenyun. Because she is so beautiful and outstanding, those naughty boys will rank the girls in the alley according to their beauty. Shu Wenyun is always first and Niu Xiaofang can only be second.
As for Shu Jinyue, her inherent silliness and innocence make it seem like "I'm easy to bully" is written all over her face. If she can't bully Shu Wenyun, then how can she not bully this little idiot?
Oh, by the way, she was the first to call him “little straw bag”.
Shu Jinyue had almost forgotten all these things, but when he saw her face, the unpleasant memories came flooding back like a tide.
"Jinyue is off work, is this your boyfriend?" Niu Xiaofang twisted her waist and came over, taking the initiative to greet Jinyue for the first time, and stretched out her hand, "Hello, my name is Niu Xiaofang, and I grew up with Jinyue."
Xu Duan pushed the cart with both hands and did not shake hands with her, but just nodded politely.
Shu Jinyue suddenly became happy.
"Comrade, which unit are you from? I heard you're from the Municipal Materials Bureau, is that right?"
Xu Duan nodded but didn't say anything.
"How many years have you worked here? In what department?"
These were things that the Shu family had not told anyone, and she couldn't find out anything either. She thought it was good to meet the real person so that she could find out clearly. But things may change over time, and who can tell what's going on in this world?
However, Xu Duan pretended not to hear anything. He lowered his head and asked Jin Yue, "I found the information you asked me to find last time. Will I send it to you this afternoon?"
It is already 1977, and Shu Jinyue is preparing for the college entrance exam. She has been studying since she was reborn, but she is not talented enough. Her only advantage is her memory, which is useful for liberal arts subjects but not for science. After two years of study, she is still a poor student.
After Xu Duan found out about this, he kept looking for review materials for her in this regard. Physics, chemistry and biology were his strong subjects. After he found the materials, he read them himself, made some annotations and explanations based on Jin Yue's learning progress, and then gave the materials to her.
"Okay." Speaking of this, Jin Yue was a little sour, "The gap between people is really big. My sister has finished studying three times now. She can get more than 90 points in these science subjects when she does the test papers by herself, but I can hardly even pass."
When she was just reborn, she felt that there was nothing in the world that she couldn't do, except mathematics, physics, biology and chemistry!
"It's okay. Everyone has their own strengths. You have a good memory. If you're not good enough, you can take the liberal arts exam. I see that the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine has several liberal arts enrollment quotas every year."
Although Traditional Chinese Medicine is a medical major, unlike clinical medicine, some colleges and universities still open their doors to liberal arts students.
"I don't dare to take the risk. What if they don't recruit liberal arts students this year?" Shu Jinyue said dejectedly.
"Jin Yue wants to go to college? No way? Now all universities have stopped recruiting students, where can you go? If you want to go, you can go through recommendation, but it's very difficult. You were not good at studying before, and your brain is not..."
Xu Duan glanced at her coldly. Niu Xiaofang's heart skipped a beat. It was just a simple glance, but it made her teeth chill. She was so scared that she quickly closed her mouth.
But I still looked down on him in my heart. The little idiot in Liuye Hutong could treat illnesses because he got the secret recipe from an old country Chinese doctor. He was just lucky, but he wanted to go to college? If the sun hadn’t risen in the west, she wouldn’t have been able to get into high school!
Shu Jinyue didn't want to say more, for fear of exposing the fact that he knew the news that the college entrance examination would be resumed, and he didn't want to give such a person an advantage.
When she got home, Zhao Wanqiu was quite happy to see Xu Duan carrying gifts and visiting her solemnly. She made tea for him and asked him if he was busy and tired from the business trip. However, Teacher Shu acted like a father-in-law and seemed very "cold".
Unfortunately, he is not that kind of person. This cold and aloof look on his face, which seems to be unable to smile, looks awkward no matter how you look at it. Jin Yue is trying to hold back his laughter, but Xu Duan doesn't seem to notice at all. He hands him a cigarette with both hands, lights it, and takes the initiative to start a conversation.
I have to say that as long as he wanted to talk, Xu Duan was a very good chatterbox. He could talk about everything from five thousand years of history, calligraphy and painting, politics and economics, literature and art. Of course, he didn't mean to show off. Teacher Shu just wanted to test him, but he ended up interrupting him!
Teacher Shu was critical at the beginning, but gradually he became satisfied, and in the end both the father and son started drinking.
"Stop drinking, you have to go to work in the afternoon." Jin Yue reminded in a low voice.
He looked over with a faint smile, "My boss has approved me to take a day off, so I don't have to go to work in the afternoon."
Teacher Shu was even more satisfied when he heard this, and immediately asked Jin Yue to take out the Xifeng wine left over from the Chinese New Year, "Drink it without worry, and let Wenming take you home when you get drunk."
You're treating him like a silly son-in-law. Only an idiot would get drunk on his first official visit and need his brother-in-law to send him home!
"Oh, by the way, where's Wenming? Why isn't anyone there?"
Only then did everyone realize that Shu Wenming had not returned yet.
"What has he been busy with recently? Why doesn't he show up for dinner?"
Xu Wenli, who was happily eating, was stunned when she heard this. Her cheeks were bulging with braised pork. "I... I don't know. Don't look at me."
Zhao Wanqiu laughed, "It's okay, he's busy with his own things, eat slowly, if you like it, mom will make it for you in two days." The meat they ate today was brought by Xu Duan.
She discovered that Xu Wenli liked this kind of sweet and sticky thing. No wonder she became more and more plump. When she first got married, she weighed less than 100 pounds, but now she weighs almost 130 pounds.
But she has round eyes and a round face, and she is tall. She doesn't look fat at all. Instead, she looks fair, rosy, bright, and well-proportioned. Who in the compound doesn't envy this young wife? You can tell at a glance that she has a happy family and a carefree life. People say that Shu Laoer looked a bit out of tune before, but now that he has married, he has changed a lot. He loves his wife and can make money. After all, Xu Wenli has so many new clothes, new leather shoes, and unique snacks, which not only shows that he is willing to spend money, but also that he is rich.
Xu Wenli has a good personality and is very likable. Every time she calls "Mom", Zhao Wanqiu wants to feed her more. Jin Yue and her are the only ones who can order food in the family.
"Thank you, Mom. I'll buy some meat tomorrow."
"No need for tomorrow, I bought it today." Shu Wenming came back with a two-finger-wide piece of pork belly. Seeing so many people at home, he was a little surprised, "Are you going to eat it now?"
"Go wash your hands."
Shu Wenming glanced at Jin Yue, and she immediately took her bowl and chopsticks to the other side and followed Shu Wenming out. "So, is there any clue?"
"You'll never guess the explosive stuff."
Jin Yue widened his eyes, waiting for him to continue, but he changed his clothes, washed his hands, and whistled leisurely.
"What's the explosive news? Tell me now!"
"Sun Hongyan didn't go home last night. According to my colleague's brother's neighbor, she went into his house at around 10 o'clock last night and didn't come out until around 7 o'clock in the morning. It's impossible that she just chatted all night."
Shu Jinyue didn't expect that Sun Hongyan would be so blatant that even the neighbors knew about it!
"She works as a cashier in the hospital's duty room. It seems she often uses the excuse of working the night shift to not go home."
"You know, if she doesn't come home at night again next time, and I lead Ma's ex-husband to the bed where she and her colleague are sleeping, what a wonderful drama it will be."
By then, Ma’s ex-husband will probably be so angry that he will die!
"You think too much. Do you think Ma's ex-husband really doesn't know? I'm afraid he has no choice but to indulge her."
"Why? Which man can tolerate such a cuckold? Don't talk nonsense. Ma's ex-husband was also a well-known figure in the 607 Factory. The level of this unit is higher than Shu Gang. People like this love face the most."
"So what if Sun Hongyan catches him with something bigger, like he's incompetent?"
Shu Wenming opened his mouth. He had been busy outside these two days and didn't know what happened in the street office compound in the morning.
"If that's the case, then everything makes sense." He clicked his tongue twice. "No wonder she blatantly didn't go home. Ma didn't dare to say a word. I heard that she didn't get enough rest while on duty last night. She dozed off when she got home at noon and didn't take good care of her child. Her fat boy fell on the Shuijing Rock and got a big gash on his forehead."
Jin Yue didn't ask in detail. Is there any need to explain? It must be because he was too tired last night. Alas, Old Ma, Old Ma, you don’t want to be your original wife, but want to find a young wife. Now you are powerless after finding one, so there will be someone else to carry the burden for you.
The two walked a few steps and returned to the front yard. "But it's strange. When I asked about my colleague, his neighbors complained to me, saying that this guy didn't know where he got the money. He went to restaurants every few days to buy cooked food. He is just an ordinary teacher, and his salary is not high. Even if he doesn't have to support a wife and children, he can't stand it."
What's more, there are all kinds of fashionable clothes and leather shoes, which are visible from the outside, and there is no telling how much more there are inside that are invisible.
"Maybe he has a rich family background?"
"How many Xu families do you think there are in this world? It's better to say that he is the second Sun Laoliu, who dug up some heirloom underground."
"Or maybe Sun Hongyan subsidizes him? I can't tell, he's still a gigolo."
Shu Jinyue shook her head, "You have never seen how aggressive and shameless the old lady of the Ma family is. Sun Hongyan lives under her nose, so it is impossible for her to save any private money." Even if she was whispering in the pillow, Ma's ex-husband didn't have much money to subsidize her. Even though it was the mother-in-law who always took the lead, in fact, the father-in-law was perfectly invisible, and he was the one who really managed the money in this family.
Jin Yue could see this from his dress and demeanor. His wife was fighting on the front lines, his son was raised to be a giant baby, and he was perfectly invisible. No matter what happened in the future, it would be a "blessing" for this family.
Shu Wenming was shocked when he heard this. "What a mess."
Jin Yue did not continue talking about the Ma family, but instead talked about his colleague's brother's unexplained assets and long-term high spending. "I think this is a bit suspicious. Second brother, go and ask around. It's impossible for a person to have a lot of money for no reason."
Jin Yue took two steps and just reached the middle courtyard when he was stopped by someone.
When I turned around, it turned out to be Aunt Qian, who had never spoken much. She looked around nervously, and when she saw that no one was watching, she immediately stuffed a bundle into my hand and said, "Here you go."
Shu Jinyue sniffed it and found a herbal aroma. "Aunt Qian is too polite. What is this?"
"I don't know what you need. This is the mistletoe for your second sister-in-law. I heard from the people at the herbal medicine purchasing station that it can help with pregnancy."
Shu Jinyue: “???”
Shu Wenming: The corners of his mouth twitched.
It turns out that Xu Wenli has gained weight recently, and everyone thinks she is pregnant!
In this compound, her belly is the one that attracts the most attention! If her appetite is better, it means she is pregnant; if her appetite is poor, it means she has morning sickness; if she is a little thinner, it means she is tired from having a child; if she is a little fatter, it means she is pregnant...but Xu Wenli's figure is the kind that is very obvious when she is fat or thin, and when she is fat, she gets a big belly.
Aunt Qian went back to the house and immediately closed the door, fearing that Jin Yue would stuff the things back again. Ever since Qian Chunhua discovered that she had stolen the eggs, she had been avoiding the Shu family because she felt embarrassed. But Jin Yue actually helped Sun Dalong find a job regardless of past grudges, and he got a formal job with a salary of 37.5 yuan. She will remember this great favor until her death.
Shu Jinyue had no choice but to stuff it into his second brother's arms, "Here, it's for you guys to use."
Shu Wenming snorted, "Who cares?"
"Take it. It's not easy for Aunt Qian to find these herbs every day. She goes out early and comes back late with a hunched back. Niuniu has been tanned into a small charcoal."
In the past, Sun Dalong could help take care of the girl, but now that he has gone to work at the Chinese medicine factory, Niu Niu has to live with her grandmother in the open air again. She is dug out of her warm bed before she wakes up in the morning, carried on a body, and walked a long way to the suburbs, where she digs and chops things. Sometimes she encounters snakes, rats, etc. Her little face is covered with scratches from grass leaves, and she looks so pitiful.
Meng Meng Ya Ya, who is about the same age, eats and sleeps every day. Her grandfather takes her here and there to play. Occasionally, when she comes to Liuye Hutong, she is carried around by everyone. She has not learned to roll over yet.
This comparison made Shu Wenming feel bad. "Aunt Qian is narrow-minded. If we don't accept her, she won't be able to sleep for three days."
***
On the third day, the old Ma family, who were suffering from abdominal pain and diarrhea, came again. This time, Ma's ex-husband was carried directly on a stretcher - his stomach hurt so much that he couldn't walk.
He was wrapped in thick clothes, with a towel blanket covering his stomach, and his face was still pale. "Doctor Shu, save me, quickly, save me."
The old woman didn't dare to be stubborn anymore, and she cried out with a sad face: "Doctor Shu, please save my son. He is in so much pain. I would rather bear the pain for him. Let me be sick. I can do it."
The people who heard the news couldn't stand it any longer. "Doctor Shu is treating your son, not performing a ritual on him. What nonsense are you talking about?"
The old woman swallowed her saliva and said, "I didn't mean it. Doctor Shu, please save my son. If you have any opinions, just come to me. My son is innocent."
No, what the hell is this?
Sister Qiao and Li Yulan both yelled, "Old lady, you are blaming Dr. Dingshu, right? She didn't say anything and didn't do anything. You are talking as if Dr. Shu gave your son this disease. It's Dr. Shu's fault that he can't get better, right?"
"If you ask me, your son got sick because of the spoiling of him by you as his parents. Yes, old uncle, what are you looking at? I'm talking about you, you guys." No one can hide.
The Ma family was speechless after being scolded. Jin Yue was relieved and wrote out a prescription, asking them to go get the medicine quickly. "This prescription is a bit special. You will have diarrhea after taking it. The amount is large and it smells bad, but the diarrhea will be cleared in two days at most. You can come for a follow-up visit then. You must come."
The Ma family didn't dare to ask another question and hurried to get the medicine.
"Why do they have to come back for follow-up visits?" Sister Qiao was puzzled.
"Because only after the follow-up visit can I know whether the medicine is effective and whether my estimation of the situation is correct."
Although no one understood it, Jin Yue had created enough suspense, and everyone's appetite was whetted. Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Everyone knew that there would be something good to watch that day, and they were eager to come and watch the fun - last time they were not able to see anything, so what would they want to see this time?
Not to mention, now everyone is a little afraid of Jin Yue laughing, because when she laughs, she will reveal shocking news.
Sure enough, on the agreed day, Jin Yue just arrived at the neighborhood office compound and discovered: Hey, why do people keep passing by her office today?
Some even poked their heads in and asked, "Are you here?"
“No.”
Liu Jinbu was playing a game of charades with them, and was also ready to go. He would go to the gate from time to time to take a look and come back to report.
“Here it comes!”
Everyone rushed to the gate of Jinyue from all directions and saw with their own eyes that Ma Qianfu, who had to be carried in on a stretcher two days ago and was half dead, actually came here on his own. Although he was still haggard, his spirit had improved significantly.
"Are you okay?"
"Not pulling anymore?"
"I haven't had diarrhea since yesterday. I can eat now." Before taking the medicine, his appetite was smaller than that of a kitten, but yesterday he ate two bowls of rice for the first time!
"Is it true that eating rhubarb will cause diarrhea and empty the stomach?"
"Yes." Old Ma was delighted. "It's all healed now."
The old woman was also beaming with joy, showing off to everyone how well her son was doing now, and mentioned Shu Jinyue in passing, and then she mainly scolded her former daughter-in-law—
"Ma Shuhui is such a vicious woman. She must have known about my son's illness after studying medicine for so many years. She just deliberately didn't tell me and made my son's illness worse. She deliberately wanted to kill my son!"
"Fortunately, my son is blessed with a long life. She will have to live in the gutter with her little fool for the rest of her life. From now on, my son will finally have his fortunes turned around after all the hardships he has endured."
Unexpectedly, Jin Yue laughed and said, "Who said he was fine?"
She smiled and laughed. Dr. Shu smiled again!
Everybody hold your breath, hurry, hurry, hurry!
"What do you mean, my son is still sick?"
"It's more than just a disease. His problem has never been diarrhea, but infertility."
The old woman's face turned pale. "What infertility?"
"I just can't have children."
The old woman's legs were shaking. In fact, she had suspected it for the past two years because they had been trying to induce labor, but her new daughter-in-law's stomach had not responded. They had looked at Sun Hongyan's checkup sheet and found that there was indeed no problem. However, her son was the one who was unwilling to go for a checkup...
They can only put the pressure on their new daughter-in-law. As long as their son doesn't get checked, there's nothing wrong with him.
But, what does it matter? It’s a pity not to have two or three fat grandchildren, but if I have one and I train him well, he might be more successful than those gourd brothers in the future.
Ma’s ex-husband was also startled, but then he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it didn’t matter if he was infertile. Anyway, he already had a son to carry on the family line. All he had to do was leave roots for the Ma family.
"My son already has a son, so it doesn't matter if he is infertile." The old woman said with her neck stiff.
Shu Jinyue laughed, and everyone's heart rose to their throat. They held their breath, and then they heard her ask calmly: "Are you so sure that the child is your son's?"
