Chapter 159: Message
Since ancient times, Traditional Chinese Medicine, with a pack of silver needles and a handful of herbs, has cured countless ailments, it is the true national treasure passed down by our ancestors for thousands of years.
Since Western medicine doesn’t work, why not try Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Teacher Ge’s acupuncture skills, although I haven’t seen the full picture and don’t know their depth, what I have witnessed is enough to shock people.
……
“Good.”
Fu Jiaming was also invigorated by her words, there is always a way out, he didn’t believe nor could he let the old man resign himself to fate like this.
“Right, Jiaming…”
After hanging up the call, because of Su Ning’s last words, his heart was pounding, his face and eyes full of excited expression, he uncontrollably shook his legs as he returned to the hospital room.
Looking at Fu Rong, who had been completely silent and unresponsive since receiving the doctor’s conclusion, lost in thought about who knows what.
Ma Xiuzhen, who turned her back and secretly shed tears, her shoulders trembling slightly.
And Luo Shuangshuang, who anxiously waited and brightened up the moment she saw him, hurriedly coming forward to greet him.
“How did it go, Jiaming?”
Although in her heart Ning Bao Gai was the most capable, she couldn’t blindly expect her little friend to be omnipotent.
Shaking his head, Fu Jiaming held her hand back, “Su Ning said the prescription passed down in the Su Family doesn’t have one for dissolving intracranial blood stasis, but…”
“But what?”
“She suggested trying Ge Lao’s acupuncture.”
“Yes, Teacher Ge’s acupuncture is very powerful! That silver needle technique for stabbing acupoints to stop bleeding is still fresh in my memory, since silver needles can stop bleeding, maybe they really can dissolve blood stasis!”
“Mm.”
“So?”
Luo Shuangshuang tilted her head and glanced at the sickbed, did they need to take Uncle Fu to Xiangnan now?
Then what about Fu Big Brother here, who was also lying sick in bed?
“So let’s all go back to Xiangnan together!”
“Hm?”
“Su Ning said although there is no prescription to treat the old man’s illness, the Su Family has a secret medicine to cure Big Brother!”
“What?”
“Jiaming, what did you just say? Say it again?”
Hearing their discussion, Ma Xiuzhen immediately turned around, looking at him in disbelief, repeatedly asking in her mouth.
Even Fu Rong, who had been immersed in his own world, couldn’t help but snap back to attention, fixing his gaze tightly on him, if he weren’t unable to move, he would definitely jump up and kick the brat’s butt.
“Don’t keep us in suspense, speak quickly, you mean that friend of yours has a way to treat Jia Dan’s hands and feet? Is it real? How much recovery can there be?”
“Jiaming! Tell us quickly!”
“Yes, that’s exactly what Su Ning said, there is a secret medicine for healing muscles and bones in the Su Family’s ancestral pharmacopoeia, although making it is very difficult, she has been working hard on researching it ever since she learned about this.”
A trace of emotion flashed in Fu Jiaming’s eyes, for having someone who silently devoted herself behind the scenes, even deciding to quit her job to wholeheartedly research just for him…
What virtue or ability did he have to be lucky enough to know her and become close friends!
In this lifetime, although he had no real abilities and was a typical freeloader in the courtyard, with friends like Yan Qi before and Su Ning now, he was prouder than anyone!
Overthinking it, Fu Jiaming’s eyes reddened with emotion at this thought, “I believe her, she can truly research and make it!”
“I believe it too!”
The excited Luo Shuangshuang vigorously shook his arm, “So, Fu Big Brother will definitely be able to stand up again~”
“Right!”
Compared to her husband who only knew Su Ning superficially, Ma Xiuzhen, who had personally witnessed the power of her family’s ancestral secret medicine, was undoubtedly more willing to believe.
Therefore, upon hearing her youngest son’s affirmative words, her tears flowed even more fiercely, but this time it was tears of joy, “Old Fu, ARong, did you hear? Dan’er is saved, our Dan’er is saved!”
No one knows a child better than their mother, although Fu Jiatan always behaved well in front of her, neither grieving over his injury and illness nor self-destructing because he was crippled.
But how could she truly not understand, not know the pain hidden beneath his still gentle smile.
If not for his unwillingness, why would he struggle time and again when alone, even if falling or aggravating injuries, just to simply stand up and take a couple steps?
“Good, good, good, great!”
Fu Rong finally showed the first smile since waking up.
No one knew what he had just been thinking, that if he could only remain paralyzed in bed from now on, plus his eldest son with mobility issues, it would undoubtedly burden his wife and youngest son.
Anyway, he had lived long enough…
But if Jia Dan could fully recover, and he himself could as well.
Then he couldn’t evade and dump the responsibility on Jiaming, the debt owed to the Yan Family had to be repaid by him personally.
“Parents, let’s all go to Xiangnan!”
Knowing Fu Rong had awakened, leaders from above came one after another to offer condolences and visit the patient.
Given his current situation, the implications in their direct superior’s words were clear to them all.
Having fallen out with the Tong Family to this extent, and with the Yan Family taken down, now almost unchallenged, even if Fu Rong returned to his position, a lone tree can’t stand against the wind, it would be hard to make progress.
Anyway, the Fu Family’s desperate situation was now out in the open, better to go along with it to lull them, preserving the hidden influence of the Yan and Fu families better.
Turn from open to covert, bide time for action, deliver the most fatal blow to the Tong Family at the critical moment.
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, Fu Rong released his fingers that had tried to clench into a fist, raised his eyes to meet his youngest son’s gaze, “Go, we’ll go to Xiangnan.”
Go to apologize to Uncle and Aunt with bowed head, make amends as ox and horse.
……
Not to mention the Fu Family all leaving Shanghai City where they had rooted wasn’t a one- or two-day matter, just the handover at work, and how to avoid the Tong Family’s eyes and ears, send off all the demons and gods, would take some effort.
Meanwhile, Su Ning, having ended the call with Fu Jiaming, also took this opportunity to tell Mao Jinqian some of her plans and ideas.
“Ning Ning, you mean after returning to Team One, you’ll be a barefoot doctor there?”
With two dark circles under his eyes like mosquito coils, Mao Jinqian looked at her in utter confusion, “Have you told Brother Ze about this?”
“I’ll tell Zhang Ge in detail when he returns from this long haul.”
It should be these next couple days, Zhang Ze ought to be back by then.
Then go to the city, settle all the follow-ups, job, house, and some issues with Qu family residence Xiao Qiao all need proper arrangements.
At the textile factory, she had only mentioned to Director Liang her intention to resign, now she was on extended leave.
And High Auntie and Xiao Lian didn’t know when they would come, having learned the words and address she left for Sister-in-law Tian.
“Ning Ning, if you’ve thought it through, Brother supports you, with you coming to Hongqi Commune, it means I can take better care of you!”
Although Mao Jinqian wasn’t as smart or scheming as Zhang Ze, after so much time together, he also knew.
This girl of hers, though young, was extremely opinionated, once she decided something, ten oxen couldn’t pull her back.
So although shocked and puzzled, he didn’t advise against it much, “I’ll handle the required proof documents and such for you, you just need to go for training and get the graduation certificate.”
“Thanks Brother Mao, that saves me a lot of trouble~ Hey, looks like my best decision was having Brother Mao come over, now with someone upstairs, my heart isn’t panicking anymore.”
“Hahaha, you little sly one!”
Mao Jinqian was amused by her quirky appearance and laughed heartily, flicking her forehead with his finger, only stopping after a while to get back to business.
“The money you donated last time, the road and primary school are almost built, the director wants to name it after you, what do you think?”
“No need.”
One can be high-profile in doing things, but must keep a low profile in being a person.
Shaking her head in refusal without thinking, Su Ning pondered for a moment before replying, “Just name it Hope.”
“Alright.”
“Right, Brother Mao, see if you can apply to run wires to Hongqi Commune, and apply for a telephone for Team One.”
Thinking that if she stayed in the village without electricity or telephone it would indeed be inconvenient, Mao Jinqian nodded in understanding, “Sure, I’ll fill out the application documents and submit them later.”
“With the contribution you just made to Yong County, while it’s still fresh and those in the county have an impression, approval shouldn’t be hard and won’t take long.”
No need for backdoors or favors.
“Then I’ll wait for Brother Mao’s good news, it’s getting late so I’ll head back first.”
“I’ll walk you.”
“Good.”
He couldn’t bear to let this treasure walk back alone, not to mention the old leader, even Brother Ze would probably give him a good beating if he knew.
Safely escorting her back to the Su Family ancestral home, and instructing her a few times to come find him if anything came up, Mao Jinqian then rode off again.
