Chapter 425 is possible
Inside the house, with the nanny's meticulous care and the company of Xu Sui and Qin Yunzhou, Grandma Xu's spirits have been noticeably better these past few days than they were a few days ago.
Even though she is still paralyzed in bed and unable to speak, she can now barely express herself and open her eyes to look at her granddaughter and grandson-in-law.
When Xu Sui led Old Man Qi inside, Old Mrs. Xu had just regained consciousness and managed to open her eyes to look over.
When she saw her granddaughter, her lips twitched a few times, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't speak and could only make "ah ah ah" sounds.
Hearing the noise, Xu Sui quickly went over, reached out and took the old lady's hand, slowly squatted down by the bed, and gently comforted her.
"Grandma, I'm here."
When Grandma Xu thought about how she had lived a respectable life for most of her life, and now, with half her body almost buried, she was in such a state, unable to take care of herself and having to rely on others for assistance.
In the past, she could have treated this disease, but unfortunately, a doctor cannot heal himself; she could only treat others, and when it came to herself, she was truly powerless.
Old Mrs. Xu's eyes welled up with cloudy tears, and her eyes gradually reddened. She felt heavy and depressed in her heart. She wanted to tell Xu Sui and the others to leave her alone and let her die. Death would be a clean and liberating thing for her.
But when the words get to my lips, they just turn into "ah ah ah" and I can't say them at all.
After spending these days together, Xu Sui understood what the old lady was thinking. She felt a mix of emotions and a heavy heart, and reached out to tuck the old lady in.
"Grandma, don't worry, we will definitely cure you. Don't worry too much, just focus on getting better."
"Oh, right, Grandma, this is Dr. Qi, whom my eldest brother and sister-in-law helped find. I'll have him take a look at you."
Grandma Xu, lying in bed, had no hope at all. This kind of illness that leaves the elderly paralyzed in bed is very difficult to cure, and it is generally incurable.
But the old lady knew in her heart that this was her granddaughter's way of showing filial piety, so she didn't struggle and let them go.
At this moment, Xu Sui turned around and called out, "Dr. Qi, come here."
Old Qi glanced at the person lying on the bed and walked over.
Paralyzed in bed, yet so clean and tidy, with even a rosy complexion, it's clear that the family is taking excellent care of the patient.
Moreover, the clothes she wore and the bedding she used were all high-quality items.
No wonder he made so many requests all at once, and the other person agreed without even thinking about it; it turns out he didn't lack those things at all.
I should have asked for more earlier.
Xu Sui pursed her lips, stood up, and made room for Old Man Qi.
"Dr. Qi, I'm entrusting my grandmother to you. As long as you can cure her, I will do my best to fulfill all your requests."
Old Qi didn't say anything more. He sat down by the bed and began to take Old Madam Xu's pulse.
The atmosphere inside the room gradually became quiet and silent. No one spoke, and you could hear people breathing clearly.
Grandma Xu had heard countless times that her illness was incurable, so she had given up hope and decided to avoid seeing it and pretend to sleep.
As for this so-called Doctor Qi, she didn't take him seriously.
She had lived in Fengyang County for so many years and had never heard of a doctor surnamed Qi.
Xu Sui gradually became nervous. She kept watching Old Man Qi take the old lady's pulse without blinking, afraid of missing anything.
Throughout the entire pulse-taking process, Old Man Qi didn't say anything, and his expression remained calm. Only when he was about to stop did he slightly frown.
Seeing this, Xu Sui quickly invited the person out and asked privately, "How is it? Can it be cured?"
Outside.
Xiao Fen and Qin Min, a married couple, were also eavesdropping at the door. They clung tightly to the door frame, their ears pressed against the crack in the door, their hearts pounding in their throats.
This was a doctor they had gone to great lengths to acquire, having secretly brought him from the countryside to the city in order to get Old Man Qi, whose family background was considered problematic, out of the cowshed.
Xiao Fen is practically being treated like a slave by others.
She even bowed down to her younger brother and sister-in-law from the countryside, whom she had always looked down upon, and bought them things for the village head's wife, busying herself with all sorts of things. She also promised to help the girl find a good husband in the city, and only then did the girl agree.
She had never bowed her head to so many people in her life.
For no other reason than that this old man Qi was brought from the cowshed of the brigade where her younger brother and sister-in-law's family lived.
If this person really has no other options, then all their efforts will have been in vain.
Qin Min was also anxious; his heart was in his throat, and he clenched his fists tightly, afraid of missing something.
He did want a son, that's true, but he only had a daughter in his life. A son was still a distant dream, but his daughter was right in front of him, alive and well.
Their daughter, Baozhu, is now their only child. Even if she isn't the son he longed for, he still has to make plans for her.
The couple's relationship with their second son's family wasn't exactly distant, and now, if they wanted to get closer, they could only ask the family to owe them favors.
If this works out, people will definitely think of him when there are any benefits, just like Du Mei.
Du Mei has now latched onto the coattails of the second son and his wife, and has transformed from a helpless village girl in the countryside into a working officer's wife in the military family compound.
It definitely counts as changing one's fate.
Sometimes even he, a grown man, was incredibly envious.
inside the house.
Old Qi was silent for a moment, then nodded. "There is a way, but it's a bit troublesome."
"I need to administer acupuncture to patients for a month straight, so I have to come here for the entire month."
"I'm fine with everything, it's just a matter of whether you can get me out of the cowshed every day."
"Really? You can really cure my grandma?" Xu Sui's eyes lit up suddenly, and she became excited, but she quickly calmed down.
She hadn't forgotten that this person lived in a cowshed and was a member of the "Five Black Categories" with a bad class background.
Anyone living in the cowshed for reform had to work every day and couldn't wander off, let alone come to the city every day to see the old lady for medical treatment.
Now is the beginning of a decade of great upheaval. If someone finds a handle on this matter, even if Qin Yunzhou holds a high position in the military, he will probably be affected.
This is no longer just a matter affecting her personally, but rather her entire family.
Xu Sui pursed her lips. "Dr. Qi, are you sure you're really confident?"
"I'm sure that if I give acupuncture to patients for a month straight, you'll definitely see results after a month. If there are no results, I won't charge you a penny."
