The next morning, before Xie Yushu and Qu Xiaodie had finished breakfast, Wen Ruyu arrived. The two hurriedly ate a few steamed buns and followed her.
Young Master Wen insisted on his opposition. This morning, when he came to pay his respects to Old Madam Wen and tried to persuade her to give up the surgery, Old Madam Wen ordered him to be tied to a chair in the room and gagged to prevent him from causing trouble.
So when Xie Yushu entered the room, she was stunned, and then she was met with a huge glare, the anger in that glare almost tangible and wanted to burn her up!
Wen Ruyu said with a slightly playful smile
"Miss Xie, please don't mind. This is my older brother. He's not very bright and has seizures from time to time, so my grandmother was afraid he would suddenly lash out and hurt people. You don't know, when he goes crazy, he won't even recognize my mother and will bite anyone he sees. We had no choice but to tie him up here. Please just pretend you didn't see him!"
Xie Yushu glanced at him and realized that this young master Wen, who looked quite respectable, was actually a madman. Her sympathy for him instantly increased tenfold, and she said with a look of regret.
"That's a real shame about your older brother! But it's alright, I don't mind!"
The bound Wen Qi was going crazy.
"What the hell is wrong with your brain? You're the one who's not right! You little brat, Wen Xiaosan, just you wait! If you've got the guts, don't let me go. Once I'm free, I'll smash your head open!"
And you, you female swindler, can't even tell if I'm mentally ill, yet you dare to treat my grandma? You're insane! You're all fucking crazy!
"Dad! Come back quickly! This is terrible! The house is in chaos! My God!"
Unfortunately, no matter how much criticism Wen Da felt inside, all she could manage to utter was a series of "Waaah..."
His ferocious expression only made him look more like a madman!
The moment Wen Ruyu smugly led Xie Yushu into the house, Wen Da utterly despaired! Tears streamed down his face.
"It's all over! It's completely over!"
Unfortunately, he had nowhere to turn for help. Who knew that such a big matter could be decided by the old man and the young girl overnight? If he had known, he would have told his mother first and then sent a message to his father by carrier pigeon!
Now, he's planning to try again, to analyze how unreliable this so-called surgery is, and if all else fails, he'll send a letter to his father asking him to come back.
But to his utter surprise, he was tied up here before he could even finish speaking, and the courtyard gate was locked. Those two troublemakers!
Dad! Please come back and stay home so I can go out and run errands. I'm so angry I could die!
Wen Da kept wailing silently in his heart!
Unfortunately, nobody paid any attention!
At this moment, Xie Yushu was taking the pulse of Old Mrs. Wen. Although she was not good at pulse diagnosis, she could still determine whether the patient's blood pressure and heart rate met the conditions for surgery by examining the pulse.
Apart from a slightly rapid heart rate, Grandma Wen was fine. It was probably due to some nervousness, but it didn't affect anything!
To ease Mrs. Wen's anxiety, Xie Yushu chatted with her about everyday things and confirmed the donor's information.
The person who prepared to donate the crystal to Old Madam Wen was her personal nanny, named Granny Gui. She had been with Old Madam Wen for over fifty years, since Old Madam Wen was seven or eight years old. Now she has a house full of children and grandchildren!
The two women were as close as sisters. Upon hearing that there was a way to cure Old Mrs. Wen's eyes, they stepped forward without hesitation and offered to donate their lenses to her. Old Mrs. Wen, of course, did not mistreat her old friend. She released her family's indenture and gave them three hundred taels of silver.
In the end, Grandma Wen decided to treat only one eye. She was content to see her children and grandchildren safe and sound, and didn't want to burden another person.
It's normal for anyone to feel nervous when facing surgery, and this nervousness can't be relieved by just a few words of comfort. You can only feel at ease when the surgery is over, so you have to get it over with quickly.
Xie Yushu had someone brew anesthetic powder and gave it to Granny Gui and Old Madam Wen to drink, and also prepared lightly salted water, which is the physiological saline solution of later generations.
About 45 minutes later, not only did the two old ladies' eyelids go numb, but their limbs also went numb. Wen Ruyu sent everyone else out, leaving only herself to stand guard at the old ladies' door.
Neither lens removal surgery nor cataract surgery is complicated. Xie Yushu disinfected the two women with alcohol and quickly removed one of Gui Mama's lenses, placing it into the prepared saline solution.
They quickly performed an external capsule removal surgery on Mrs. Wen and then implanted the retrieved lens. Although the two old ladies were still nervous, they did not feel much pain during the operation because they had taken anesthetic. In addition, one of them was eager to help her master and had a tragic feeling that she would not regret dying, while the other had a strong desire for light and was willing to take a gamble. Therefore, the two cooperated very well and the operation went very smoothly, and it was completed in less than an hour.
After bandaging both elderly women, Xie Yushu opened the door, and Wen Ruyu anxiously asked...
"Miss Xie, how are my grandmother and Granny Gui?"
"The surgery went very smoothly. If all goes well, Madam Wen will be fully recovered in three days!"
"Really! What other unexpected things could happen?"
"One concern is whether the eyes will get infected, and the other is whether someone will cause trouble in the middle, such as the one you kidnapped. If he tries to get another doctor to prescribe random medication, I will not be responsible!"
After hearing Xie Yushu's words, Old Mrs. Wen roared with great force.
"Third brother! Your older brother is young, it's no big deal if he sleeps in the chair for a day or two! Remember to feed him something!"
"Oh! I know, Grandma, I think so too!"
Wen Da listened
"Waaaaah...waaaah..."
Wen Ruyu completely ignored his elder brother's sobs and asked Xie Yushu.
"Miss Xie, the second issue has been resolved—the inflammation you mentioned."
"Today is the most crucial day, I can stay and take care of things for the day!"
"That's wonderful! I'll arrange lunch and lodging right away!"
By the way, are there any foods my grandmother should avoid?
"Avoid raw, cold, spicy, and stimulating foods; a light and mild diet is best!"
"Okay!"
Upon hearing that Old Madam Wen had a high chance of regaining her sight, Wen Ruyu was in high spirits and went to arrange the meal with light steps!
Xie Yushu stayed at the Wen residence all day. Neither of the two old ladies encountered any unexpected situations. Apart from Wen Da, who was tied to a chair and was forcibly fed two meals of porridge by Wen Ruyu, and who cursed loudly twice in anger, everyone else was in a good mood!
The next afternoon, Xie Yushu disinfected the two old ladies' eyes with alcohol again, re-bandaged them, and instructed Wen Ruyu to take good care of them for the last two days before returning to the inn with Qu Xiaodie.
After being tied up and angry all day, Wen Da finally ran out of energy. Wen Ruyu fed him some calming medicine and had several servants take him to a villa fifty miles away.
