"I..." Mrs. Liu didn't expect her man to come back so early today. She hurriedly wiped her tears and stood up, but she tied her hands and didn't know what to say, "You, why are you back..."
"It's a good thing I came back early today, otherwise I would have been kept in the dark by you, a mother-in-law!" The old man was so angry, "Didn't everyone agree not to see a doctor? My family is very poor, and I am exhausted every day.
You are working outside to make money to support your family, and you secretly invite the doctor home!"
Mrs. Liu's face turned pale after being yelled at. Normally, the couple would just quarrel behind closed doors, but now in front of three outsiders...
The more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved. She suddenly sat down on the ground, slapped her thighs and wailed: "Then what do you want me to do? That's my son! He is the flesh that fell from my body. Do you want me to watch it?"
Do you want him to die?
"If you don't have the ability to make money and can't treat your son, you will lose your temper with me..."
The old man's eyes flashed with sadness, and he couldn't bear to blame his old wife anymore, so he turned his head and directed his anger at Zhang Muqiu and the others.
"My family has no money. We can't pay for the consultation or take the medicine. Take your things and get out of here. Don't come here again!"
Zhang Muqiu stood up hurriedly and said: "Uncle Liu, don't be angry. Our two families are neighbors now. We are just here to sit here, recognize the door, and chat with Aunt Liu. We will go back now."
After quickly walking out of Liu's house, the three people who were holding their breath let out a sigh of relief in unison.
Deng Hao shook his head and sighed: "Oh, this little brother from the Liu family is too miserable."
Gao Qingsong couldn't help but ask: "Doctor Zhang, is this problem really hopeless?"
It was also the first time for Zhang Muqiu to encounter such a despairing disease. He felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. Hearing this, he shook his head and sighed: "Don't say I've seen it before, I've never heard of it. I'll ask my wife later, maybe
She will know."
Having said this, Zhang Muqiu cheered up a little and said: "If it is really a very rare problem, maybe I will be interested in studying it, and I can help the Liu family."
Deng Hao, however, did not feel any comfort at all and said, "Even if my wife knew about it, the Liu family would not have the money to see a doctor."
Zhang Muqiu didn't say anything more, he just said: "Go back first. If your wife is interested in his illness, then you don't have to worry about anything."
She didn't say this casually.
The Jiang family has a very extreme characteristic. Either they have no interest in medicine like Jiang Tong's father and brother, or they are both medical idiots like Jiang Sui and Jiang Tong.
In his previous life, Shen Tianshu, like Jiang Su, often traveled around. Once he encountered a very rare disease, he would not be too energetic. He would spend all his sleep and food to figure out how to become a Chou Yinmao.
Every time they returned to Jiang's house from outside, the two of them would definitely accumulate a lot of knowledge and medical records. After returning home, they would rush into the study and record them all, which would become a valuable asset in the Jiang family's old house.
However, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Shen Tianshu is still busy with the New Year affairs in Shen Mansion. It should be difficult to find opportunities to go out before the year.
"Let's wait until after the New Year!" Zhang Muqiu said helplessly, "It's not too late in the next few days."
Unexpectedly, early the next morning, Gao Xiuer knocked on the door and said, "Doctor Zhang, are you up? The Shen Mansion sent someone to ask you to come over and diagnose the pulse of the two aunts."
Zhang Muqiu returned to the hospital and couldn't sleep all night.
Zhang Muqiu didn't know whether it was because of sympathy or simply being frightened. He stayed up almost all night. Whenever he closed his eyes, the image of the Liu family's son always appeared in his mind.
She was feeling a headache and was hesitant to lie down for a while. When she heard the invitation from the Shen family, she immediately became energetic. She jumped up and said, "Wait a minute, I'll freshen up and go."
What she saw and heard yesterday made her feel so confused that she wished she could talk to Shen Tianshu right away.
However, when she arrived at the Shen Mansion, she still had to check the pulses of Ping Niang and Hanqiao first.
Ping Niang's pulse is as stable as ever, and the size of the fetus is also normal. This baby has successfully passed the most dangerous period. As long as there are no major accidents later, the birth should be successful.
But the situation on Hanqiao's side was not very good. Her body was not suitable for immediate pregnancy, but in order to give it a try, she took medicine and insisted on having this child.
Nowadays, even though she is eating various nourishing foods and the fetus seems to be stable, Zhang Muqiu always feels that under the surface calmness of her pulse, there is actually an undercurrent, and she is somewhat unsure of the situation.
However, Hanqiao was in a good mood. She felt that the fetus was in good condition. She even survived the hassle of moving. Now that the first trimester has passed, the fetus is still so stable. There must be nothing wrong with it.
In front of Hanqiao, Zhang Muqiu couldn't say much. After all, there were no problems from the abdominal examination or the pulse condition.
After coming out of Hanqiao's room, she couldn't help but ask Shen Tianshu: "Can Hanqiao really give birth to this baby?"
Shen Tianshu lowered his eyes and said: "Take good care of the fetus, and the baby will still be born."
Zhang Muqiu always felt that there was something in Shen Tianshu's words, but seeing that she didn't want to say more, he changed the subject and talked about the Liu family's son.
As Zhang Muqiu expected, Shen Tianshu was particularly interested in this. As soon as she finished speaking, he said excitedly: "Although I have never seen the disease you mentioned, I have heard my grandfather talk about it. He has encountered it before. One such patient.
“My grandfather thought of many ways and adjusted the prescription many times, but in the end he could not eradicate the disease.
"The patient's condition was already very serious at that time. My grandfather tried his best to help the patient relieve the pain and delay the time a little.
"My grandfather was very sorry for this. Afterwards, he wrote a special pamphlet, which contained several untried prescriptions that he later deduced. I don't know if the pamphlet has been copied..."
Shen Tianshu became more and more excited as he talked, but Zhang Muqiu frowned and said, "It's a pity that the Liu family has no money to treat him. On the day I went, Old Man Liu came back from work early, and he lost his temper when he saw us. It can be said that they kicked us out..."
"It's okay. If the Liu family's son really has such a disease, I can help him see a doctor without them having to pay." The more Shen Tianshu said it, the more he couldn't hold himself back. He wanted to go and find out immediately, "I'll go with you. Let’s take a look and ask the Liu family if they would like me to treat their son without spending any money.”
Zhang Muqiu was immediately amused by Shen Tianshu's words and said, "Look at what you said. Is there anyone who wouldn't want to spend money?"
“It’s really hard to say. Many times, the hardest thing is not the lack of money, but the feeling of powerlessness that no matter how hard you try, you only get despair.
“This is a hopeless disease, and many patients and their families may not be willing to go through the treatment process again.
"But this disease is very rare. If more information can be left behind, it will be of great help to those who come after us.
"If a treatment method is developed one day earlier, there will be fewer patients and families suffering from this in the world..."
After saying this, Shen Tianshu couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and said, "No, I still have to go there in person."
