Chapter 250: The Oddball Seeking Medical Attention
A meal was eaten with considerable liveliness, and at the dining table, the Shen family members incessantly asked about matters in the capital.
It was also lively outside; many people even brought their bowls of food to the Shen family’s home just to see the motorcycle.
Most of the people who came were young men, or little boys.
Of course, there were also those of the same generation as Grandfather Shen.
“Has your son-in-law’s family struck it rich? This motorcycle must cost several thousand.”
Not only was the vehicle expensive, but more importantly, obtaining the permit was difficult.
“We did make a small fortune; they encountered a school of large yellow croakers, and buying this vehicle was for convenience of travel.”
Grandfather Shen smoked, saying with apparent calm: “My son-in-law’s family even went to the capital and watched the flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen. Look at the people in these photos, how spirited and good-looking they are.”
That’s right, he even specifically brought out the photos.
Immediately, a group of old men and women gathered around.
“What? They went to the capital too!”
“There are photos, let me see them quickly.”
“Aiyo, it’s true, the national flag is so vibrant.”
“At the flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen Square in the capital, it’s truly soldiers raising the flag, how spirited that is.”
“Your young girl and granddaughter are also in the picture.”
Everyone was chattering, and by the end, it was all envy.
“Da Niu, your son-in-law’s family has really become promising; they’ve even been to the capital.”
Someone said sourly: “Then why didn’t they invite you? It was such a good opportunity, what a pity.”
Grandmother Shen rolled her eyes: “We don’t have that much influence.”
Yun Linhai said at this time: “If we go, there will definitely be opportunities in the future to take you, parents, along.”
Instantly, the gazes of the people around turned eager as they looked at Yun Linhai and Shen Yunlian.
“Yunlian, aren’t your eldest and second sons old enough to be introduced to partners? What do you think of my Er Ya? She’s very diligent, managing everything in and out of the house. Let her get acquainted with your eldest.”
Shen Yunlian: …………
She almost couldn’t resist rolling her eyes.
“Hehe, my eldest and second sons have joined the army now. They won’t be back for over two years, and they are still young, so we’re not considering that for now. I’ll ask for their opinions when they return.”
“What? Your eldest and second sons have both joined the army?!”
Shen Yunlian and his wife had not deliberately shown off, so not many people in Shen Family Village knew that the two of them had joined the army.
“Joining the army is good. You can start by looking around for now. When they return, let my daughter meet your son, and perhaps they’ll hit it off, right?”
This time, the villagers became even more enthusiastic.
One by one, they actively recommended their own daughters. If they didn’t have suitable ones of the right age, they could introduce relatives’ daughters as well.
Such good young men, once this opportunity is gone, it won’t come again.
Shen Yunlian: This talkative person, why did she say it out loud.
Yun Jiao gloated; she absolutely had to write about this in her next letter to send to her brothers.
Sigh, speaking of which, she missed her eldest and second brothers again.
They didn’t stay long in Shen Family Village and returned that same day.
On the way back, it was also wobbly, and then they really flipped over.
Fortunately, the place where they flipped was a dry cornfield.
If it had been a rice paddy, they would be covered in mud by now.
Shen Yunlian couldn’t resist rolling her eyes at him: “You still need to practice more. This trip with you was really exhausting; my butt is numb.”
Yun Linhai chuckled foolishly: “Next time, my motorcycle riding technique will definitely be much better.”
Yun Jiao patted the mud off her body.
The motorcycle became much easier to ride once they reached the main road.
After returning home, the whole family looked at the motorcycle with concern, then proceeded to clean and wash it.
In the evening, Yun Jiao sat on a low stool soaking her feet: “When are we going to buy a boat?”
She wanted to ride a large boat.
Opposite her, Yun Xiaowu also put his feet in the basin, Yun Jiao’s fair and plump feet stepped on his instep.
“Yes, when will we finally have a large boat? We want to go to sea too.”
That small wooden boat couldn’t carry too many people; the iron boat was too small.
Every time they saw Jiaojiao and Father returning with a bountiful harvest from going to sea, they also felt a strong urge.
Yun Linhe: “I’ve already written to your godfather; we have to wait for his reply.”
Alright, then we have to wait.
The next day, Yun Jiao went to the county town medical hall with gifts she bought for her Master.
“Master, I’m back.”
Old Master Xu was taking a patient’s pulse, and upon hearing her voice, a smile appeared on his lips before he even looked up.
“You’re back, come here.”
He beckoned, and Yun Jiao put down the things she was carrying and ran over with small steps.
“Master?”
Old Master Xu began to explain the pulse diagnosis to her: “It’s okay if you don’t understand now; you just need to remember it.”
Yun Jiao nodded.
After finishing the pulse diagnosis, Old Master Xu said to the man: “Your breathing is too rapid, and your mind is unsettled. What is it that’s troubling you, young man? This is a psychological problem; just taking medicine and seeing a doctor is only treating the symptoms, not the root cause.”
The man looked dejected. As he listened, he actually started to cry.
Old Master Xu: …………
I haven’t even started treating you yet.
“Doctor, my woman cheated on me. She found another man outside and even brought him home while I was at work. Doctor, I feel so uncomfortable, it hurts in waves. Am I dying?”
Old Master Xu: …………
Everyone around, whether they were patients or accompanying friends and relatives, pricked up their ears.
Yun Jiao, in particular, looked expectantly at the man, asking him to explain in detail what happened.
Old Master Xu coughed twice: “Since the other party is in the wrong, there’s no need to torment yourself like this. Just leave her.”
“I can’t leave her!”
The man pounded his chest, crying so hard that tears and snot were flying.
Yun Jiao quietly stepped a bit further away.
Having such good eyesight can sometimes be a torment; ugh… disgusting.
“She’s the woman I pursued for a long time. To pursue her, I treated her to meals, took her to movies, bought her clothes…”
So, is it that you can’t bear to part with the person or the money?
“She finally agreed to be my partner, but it hasn’t even been a month. Today, I forgot something and went back to check, wuwuwu… she brought another man home, and they were kissing! And that man was my good brother!”
“Hiss…”
There were gasps of breath all around.
Suddenly, someone stepped forward and patted the brother on the shoulder: “Not a brother, you can tolerate this? You are the best!”
The man sniffled: “Not really, it’s mainly… mainly I couldn’t beat them.”
Everyone: …………
He continued crying: “My brother is twice my size. I was afraid that if I rushed in, they would both gang up on me and beat me. Then I would be even more unlucky, losing my girlfriend and getting beaten up. That would be too miserable.”
Old Master Xu couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.
What he said made sense, but to endure such a situation was extraordinary.
Of course, others might have the inner strength to prepare for revenge, but this man was completely ‘chicken.’
The most absurd thing is that he didn’t confront the cheating couple, yet he felt heartbroken and came to see a doctor.
What an oddball this is.
?? I was stuck writing the first half of this chapter and it took a long time to flow smoothly. Then it was quite late when I finished. This is the only chapter today.
