Chapter 94: Tricking My Mother To Go To The Doctor
I went back to Jianghu Inn and reported the situation to Uncle Forbes. I continued to sell out the tofu and it was already time to return home.
As soon as I walked to the door of the courtyard, I heard my mother-in-law yelling angrily: "Get out! I don't want to see you again, get out!"
I pushed the door open, and a broom was thrown at me. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and avoided it.
"If you have something to say, say it nicely. I'm not irresponsible." Fatty Wang stood in the yard and tried to persuade him with his arms in front of his face.
"Master, what happened to my mother?"
"Oh, Jianghu, I'm back. Oh, it's okay, your mother is in a bad mood." Fatty Wang turned around and saw me, his face turned red, and he glanced at the house twice, and saw that his mother had closed the door, so he had to
Walked away dejectedly.
"Aye, I'm back. I brought some snacks. Is mom at home? Has Brother Jianghu come back?" Wang Jiajia shouted from next door, her voice full of excitement.
"At home." Fatty Wang replied.
"Brother Jianghu, Brother Jianghu!" In a blink of an eye, Wang Jiajia appeared in my yard: "Brother Jianghu, when did you come back?"
I pointed to the burden beside the well: "Just arrived."
"Where's mother?"
"At home, I don't know what happened. As soon as I entered the hospital, I saw her quarreling with the master."
"What's wrong with them? Mom! Mom! Are you feeling better?" Wang Jiajia ran a few steps and knocked on the door and asked.
"Don't bother me, go to sleep!" Aniang shouted impatiently, as if she had been fed by gunpowder.
Wang Jiajia stuck out her tongue at me: "Mom, I've been feeling sick to my stomach for the past two days. I heard from sister Xiuzhen that the sour acid can stop vomiting, so I'm going to buy some plums and take you home by the way.
Uncle Fu said that you had just left, so I went to the Huang's Pastry Shop next door. Unexpectedly, I met Li Dongsheng. He was buying plums and raisins. When I asked, I found out that Sister Mu was pregnant! Haha..."
"What? You mean, Mrs. Mu is pregnant? When did it happen?" I was shocked.
"They said they just found out. Sister Mu said she had no appetite and felt nauseous. Li Dongsheng asked Dr. Li and said he could eat some plums and raisins, so he came to buy some."
"Oh," I replied, feeling a little sour in my heart. I don't know if it was the reaction caused by thinking of sour things like plums, or there was a hint of jealousy. After all, that Li Dongsheng has not known Madam Mu for as long as I have, how can he?
I got lucky, got a beautiful wife, owned an inn, and now have a child.
Wang Jiajia showed a bag of things in her hand and continued: "I just congratulated him a few words. When he was happy, he even paid for my bag. But shopkeeper Huang didn't take any money. The two of them talked about it for a long time, and the result was this
It didn’t cost a penny.”
I took it and took a look. No wonder Wang Jiajia was so happy. The Huang's pastry shop she was talking about was right next to Jianghu Inn. I had gone in and looked at it. The candied pastries in it were extremely expensive. Just this bag of preserved fruits, I'm afraid.
It must be worth hundreds of dollars.
"This doesn't cost money?"
"No! Really!" Wang Jiajia was very excited: "Shopkeeper Huang said that Li Dongsheng gave him a calligraphy painting, but he never had the chance to repay the gift."
"Oh, there is such a thing. You have benefited from it."
"Haha, that's right."
"Hey, Jiajia, do you think something is wrong with my mother?"
When Wang Jiajia heard what I said, she stopped laughing: "You mean, my mother didn't have a bad stomach after eating, but... she's sick?"
"Well, I want to take her to Huichun Hall."
"That's good, mother..."
"Hey, Jiajia." I grabbed her and said, "It's not like you don't know my mother's temper. Last time she hurt her foot, she found herbal medicine and applied it on her own. She limped back all the way without even thinking of going to the hospital.
, can we invite her this time?"
Wang Jiajia retracted her hand: "What should we do?"
I remembered Li Huichun's words: "Lie her."
"cheat?"
I nodded, covered my chest, and frowned: "Ah, it hurts so much!"
Wang Jiajia understood the idea and immediately shouted: "Brother Jianghu, Brother Jianghu, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me! Get up quickly! Brother Jianghu!"
"What's wrong? Jianghu?" Auntie finally opened the door and ran to me, shaking my shoulders anxiously.
I opened my eyes slightly and replied weakly: "It hurts... suddenly my chest hurts so much..."
"Brother Jianghu." Wang Jiajia sobbed, trying her best to squeeze out her tears, and rub her chest with her hands.
"Fat Wang! Fatty Wang!" Auntie panicked and shouted towards the courtyard wall at the top of her voice.
"Come on, come on, Jianghu, what's wrong?" Fatty Wang ran into the yard, helped me sit up, and put his fingers on my wrist.
"How?" Grandma asked.
"Don't worry, I... aren't you just looking at me?" Fatty Wang was a little nervous, his brows furrowed, and my wrists hurt from the pressure of his fingers.
I was tickled by Wang Jiajia's touch, and I couldn't help but want to laugh, but I happened to hold it back at this moment. Because I was holding back my laughter, my face turned red.
"Do you know how to read it?" Aniang yelled.
"I..." Fatty Wang was a little unsure. When he was young, he did work as a clerk in a drug store for several years. He listened to some medical skills and encountered some minor problems with headaches and brain fever. He could try pressing acupuncture points and cooking some.
I found a cure with the herbal medicine. But later I changed my mind to studying the dead people. How could I really see a doctor?
"Aye, what's wrong with Brother Jianghu?"
Fatty Wang gritted his teeth: "I feel that my pulse is beating very vigorously. It doesn't look like a serious illness. Jiang Hu, please don't keep saying 'hum hum'. What exactly is wrong with you?"
"It just... hurts in my heart. When I entered the hospital just now, grandma threw a broom towards me... I was startled... and then I felt my heart tighten... and it hurt... and it twisted..." I
He groaned, feeling that his acting skills had reached a new level.
"Aye, if you don't think so, don't waste time. Send Brother Jianghu to Huichen Hall quickly!" Wang Jiajia shouted.
"Yes, yes, go quickly!" Grandma also urged.
Fatty Wang didn't dare to delay any longer, so he picked me up and ran away.
I tried hard not to laugh. I have been following Fatty Wang for so many years. It is rare to receive such treatment!
Two-quarters of an hour later, we finally arrived at the Huichun Hall. Seeing Fatty Wang sweating like rain, I felt a little guilty again.
"Doctor... help take a look at... my son..."
My mother pointed at me, panting, and suddenly she covered her mouth and retched again. Wang Jiajia quickly patted her on the back.
"Don't be nervous, I'll feel his pulse first."
I squinted my eyes and looked secretly, and saw Li Huichun walking towards me. His fingers stayed on my wrist for a moment, and then asked: "When did you get sick?"
Fatty Wang then recounted what I just said truthfully.
"Doctor Li, is my son scared?" Auntie pushed aside Wang Jiajia, took two steps closer to Li Huichun, and asked anxiously.
"Does your family have heart palpitations and heart attacks?" Li Huichun asked.
"No. Last time I injured my foot, didn't you see a doctor for me?" Auntie replied.
Li Huichun said expressionlessly: "Last time, aunt suffered from external injuries, and I didn't take a closer look at the internal problems. If aunt is willing, please allow Li to diagnose again. If aunt also has heart problems, then he may have been brought out in the womb.
The problem only happened now. If the aunt is fine, then the cause of his illness this time is mostly acquired factors. The causes of these two diseases are different, and the treatment methods are also different. If you make a mistake and use the wrong medicine, you may...
…”
"Stop talking, Doctor Li, look quickly." Auntie was anxious and stretched out her hand.
"Please sit down!" Li Huichun directed her to sit down, took out a silk handkerchief and put it on her wrist, then took her pulse.
Wang Jiajia came to me quietly, winked at me and made a face.
I smiled at her and lay on the bed, not daring to move. If Fatty Wang knew that I was pretending to be sick and made him carry all this distance, he would have to take off my shoes and slap me.
Li Huichun, Li Huichun, it was your bad idea to trick my mother into seeing a doctor. I am lying down now to see what disease you diagnose for me.
"Okay, there is nothing wrong with my heart. That will be easy to handle." Li Huichun stood up and took out a small bag from the drawer: "The cause of Li Jianghu's illness is probably caused by fright. His heart suddenly contracted and his pulse was not smooth.
, blood blockage, blockage will cause pain!”
I silently bit my lip and suppressed laughter. This Li Huichun told lies all the time. I wonder if this was how he usually treated illnesses and cheated money.
"Then... can it be cured?" Grandma asked.
"Of course. I'll give him a few injections first to open up his blood vessels and let the blood flow, so it won't hurt anymore."
What? Still need acupuncture! Li Huichun, we have no grievances and no grudges!
what do I do?
I was thinking about countermeasures in my mind, and then I felt Li Huichun had lifted up my sleeves, and then I felt pain in several places such as the tiger's mouth and elbows.
I hummed softly, squinted my eyes and saw that several thin needles had grown on my arm. He was still holding the handle of the needle and twisting it with his hands. First he pricked my right hand, and then his left hand.
…
Li Huichun, I'm not done with you! I've been feeling sore in my arm these past few days, and you pricked me with a needle on purpose. If I can't choose the goods tomorrow, don't you think I'll block the door of your medical clinic and scold you like a bastard?
Shower head.
"Jiang Hu, don't move. Dr. Li is going to give you the acupuncture. Just bear with it for a while." Auntie touched my forehead and comforted me.
I first felt soreness at the place where the needle was inserted, and then some numbness. Then it felt as if boiling water had been poured into it, and my arms and shoulders felt warm.
I couldn't pretend anymore and finally opened my eyes.
"Brother Jianghu, you're awake!" Wang Jiajia had been covering her mouth and watching from the side. At this moment, she finally put down her hands and smiled happily.
"Jianghu, how are you now?" Aniang asked.
Fatty Wang also came forward: "Are you feeling better?"
I smiled: "Much better."
"Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
"That's good. Haha, thank you very much, Doctor Li."
"It's okay." Li Huichun smiled evilly at me and took out the needles inserted into my arm one by one: "Xiao Hu, take these needles out and boil them in boiling water."
"Yes." Xiao Hu responded, looked at me suspiciously, and went in with the needle.
"Don't be too tired when you go back. You can recover after a few more days of rest." Li Huichun ordered.
"Hey, okay." Auntie took out her money bag and asked, "How much is it?"
Li Huichun wrote on the booklet: "Forget it for ten cents."
"How much? Ten coins?" Fatty Wang stretched out two fingers and gestured.
"Well, these needles can be reused, but boiling them requires charcoal and labor."
"Oh oh oh, I understand, it's not expensive, it's not expensive." Fatty Wang said with a smile, as if he had picked up a treasure.
It's too cheap, huh, I'm the only one who knows it. Not only did I get a shot in vain, but I also spent ten cents to sell five bowls of bean curd! This unscrupulous doctor!
