Chapter 391: Being fooled
Gu Jiaojiao made chicken soup and leek dumplings at noon, but she didn't make rice. However, Su Shuoci ate them with gusto.
"Wife, would you like to go to the suburbs to check out our newly rented venue this afternoon?"
"Let's go next Sunday. After dinner, take me to the Mu family to help Mu Ziquan with the acupuncture. He will have surgery tomorrow."
"Then I'll find time to take you to the hospital tomorrow." Su Shuoci said worriedly.
"Forget it. I'm going there as Su Gu. Others will feel weird if you go there."
"Then you're going to drive?"
"No, our car has already been exposed to the public and it is not convenient to drive. I will go buy a motorcycle this afternoon and ask the Mu family's secret guard to bring it back for me."
Gu Jiaojiao looked at the worried man and gently persuaded him, "Be sure to be safe when you go out, and don't worry about me."
"How can I not worry? If anything happens to you, it will be the end of me!" Su Shuoci held his wife's hand tightly.
Gu Jiaojiao glared at him in a reproachful manner, but her tone was softer, "You really don't have to worry about me, just take care of yourself."
"But."
"Don't say but, I'm full and I'm going to call the Mu family, you should eat quickly."
The man looked at her hesitantly, but still said worriedly: "How about you help me put on some makeup too, what should I do if something happens to you?"
Gu Jiaojiao knew what he was worried about, but she was unwilling to let him be distracted by her! She didn't want him to be implicated because of her.
"No need, why are you wearing makeup? It's safest for us to act separately tomorrow."
"Jiaojiao."
"Eat quickly, I'm waiting for you!" Seeing the man's worried look, Gu Jiaojiao raised her tone.
Su Shuoci wanted to say something else, but in the end he could only lower his head and eat up the remaining chicken soup and chive dumplings on the table.
Gu Jiaojiao raised her head and said gently, "That's good! You take a rest, I'll go wash the dishes."
"Let your man do the rough work. If your hands that save lives and heal the wounded are injured, it will be my fault."
"Haha, you're not as delicate as you say." Gu Jiaojiao glared at the man in reproach, but she did not rush to wash the dishes.
After Su Shuoci finished washing the dishes, he helped Gu Jiaojiao carry the medicine box into the car. The couple chatted and laughed and soon entered the compound.
Passing by the place where the old lady was treated yesterday, Gu Jiaojiao glanced and saw the old lady wandering under a big tree.
"Su Shuoci, let me tell you something. I saw an old lady in front of us yesterday. Look, she is still walking around under the big tree."
"Wife, she's not waiting for you, is she? Should we go up and say hello?"
Su Shuoci took a look and found that the old lady did not seem to be just taking a walk.
"Let's not do that. Saving her is just a piece of cake."
"Okay, Jiaojiao, how long will it take you to get the acupuncture? I'll come pick you up later."
"Don't come here. Go home after dark. The time for acupuncture is hard to calculate. Sometimes it is affected by external factors."
Gu Jiaojiao said casually that she was afraid that the man would focus all his attention on her and it would affect his work efficiency.
When Grandma Bo saw an unfamiliar car passing in front of her, she was too lazy to even look at it, so she didn't see Gu Jiaojiao sitting in the passenger seat.
As soon as Su Shuoci parked the car at the gate of the Mu family's courtyard, Old Man Mu came out to greet him in person.
She turned her head to the man and said, "I suspect the old man has been waiting at the gate of the yard for a long time. Don't get out of the car. Wait until I get out and then you can leave."
"Okay." Su Shuoci responded straightforwardly. He also felt that Old Lady Mu was being too polite. It would be bad if she kept talking to him endlessly.
"Jiaojiao, why doesn't Shuoci come into the house and sit for a while?" Old Mu took the medicine box from Gu Jiaojiao's hand.
"It seems like he's going to pick up Geng Haozhi and the others. He often asks me to go with him. There will be plenty of time in the future."
"Jiaojiao, my silly daughter is here again with her adopted daughter and her boyfriend." Old Mu said in a low voice.
"Didn't he say he was in the hospital because of broken ribs?"
"I don't know why he came to our house despite being injured." Grandpa Mu said helplessly.
"Oh! If it weren't for this being the only thing I have left as an old man, I would have beaten her out with a broom long ago."
"It's good that he came. It would be nice for me to meet him." Gu Jiaojiao comforted Mr. Mu with a smile.
Gu Jiaojiao couldn't find any clues in the original book, because that book was about what happened in Qingcheng Compound.
The heroine of the original book, Sheng Yueliang, had never left the compound, let alone the world outside Qingcheng.
Mr. Mu walked into the living room side by side with Gu Jiaojiao, carrying a medicine box. His daughter might have already told her future son-in-law that Gu Jiaojiao knew how to use acupuncture.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
In the Mu family's living room, there were not only Mu Qingtong, Wang Yuting and her partner, but also old Xu and his son.
"Old man Mu, who is this girl?" Old Xu pretended not to know Gu Jiaojiao.
"She is a college student. She is very capable. She has given my Ziquan two injections of silver needles before. Old fellow Xu, please check my Ziquan's pulse and see if his illness has improved."
Mr. Mu said with a smile.
Mr. Xu’s son is a middle-aged man in his fifties and a professor of traditional Chinese medicine. He really doesn’t know Gu Jiaojiao.
I especially hate those who think they are right: "Girl, you look very young, you are probably a freshman at most, right?"
"Yes, I have met Professor Old Xu and Professor Young Xu." Gu Jiaojiao lowered her head and said timidly.
"Hmph! Are young people nowadays so rampant?" Professor Xu snorted unhappily.
Gu Jiaojiao: ...How am I so arrogant? "Look at you, you're still not convinced?"
"I just don't accept it. What rights do you have to say that I'm arrogant?" Gu Jiaojiao was really angry, and her tone was a bit aggressive.
"Can you just give acupuncture to a patient casually? You are only eighteen or nineteen years old. If you don't learn it for ten or eight years, who dares to give acupuncture to a patient alone?"
"I've been giving the injections for a few days, but the patient's condition hasn't gotten any worse." Gu Jiaojiao looked like a smug villain.
"You peasant, you think you are so great just because you learned from your village's barefoot doctor for two years. How dare you show off your skills in front of Professor Xu?"
Wang Yuting ridiculed Gu Jiaojiao whenever she got the chance. The barefoot doctor in the village was not something she had imagined.
She has always been in contact with her parents in the countryside, and they admire the village barefoot doctor very much.
She had previously thought that Gu Jiaojiao was capable, but now seeing Professor Xu so angry that he was vomiting blood, she decided to add insult to injury.
"You dare to give people acupuncture after learning from the village barefoot doctor for two years? Aren't you kidding me?"
Professor Xu was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick, he was just about to hit Gu Jiaojiao.
Lin Yu: ...Didn’t this fake mother-in-law say that the man used acupuncture to help Mu Ziquan detoxify?
It turns out to be a trick!
I was fooled! This young master had to go there in person despite being sick. Lin Yu felt that his broken ribs were particularly painful.
