If you count them up, Qin Jingru already has five older sisters, so she's the sixth in line, making her the sixth daughter of the Qin family.

“I heard that your sister gave birth to a son last year. Now your sister’s in-laws are no longer complaining about me, right?”

Qin Jingru stepped aside to let Han Yiping open the courtyard gate.

"Uncle Han, what are you saying?"

"If you can get them to have a child, that is their blessing. Whether it is a boy or a girl depends on their own fate."

"How could we possibly complain about something like this? My sister and the others are very grateful to you!"

Han Yiping opened the courtyard gate and let Xu Damao and Qin Jingru into the house.

As the saying goes, guests are always welcome. For Han Yiping, his patients are his bread and butter.

After entering the house, he picked up the teapot and prepared to make tea for the two of them, but he felt a little awkward after picking up the thermos.

"It's cold today, so I drank the whole pot of hot water. I turned on the stove, and the water will boil in a bit."

Qin Jingru and Xu Damao quickly said they weren't thirsty, and Xu Damao even went out of his way to help open the stove door.

After shoveling out the ashes, he also took the opportunity to check how well the coal briquettes in the stove had burned and whether they could still boil a pot of water.

Han Yiping sat down in the host's seat and said to Qin Jingru beside him.

"Sixth girl, I heard your mother is arranging a marriage for you recently."

"So, have you found someone yet?"

Among the six children in the Qin family, Qin Jingru was the most beautiful girl besides Qin Huairu.

Han Yiping has a nephew in the city who is 21 years old this year. His family is not well-off.

His older brother died young, leaving behind a wife and five children to struggle to make a living in the city, which was very difficult.

Fortunately, my eldest son and eldest daughter have grown up and started working, and life has slowly started to get better.

However, he hasn't saved much money over the years, and it's not easy for him to find a wife in the city.

A few days ago, I went to the city, and my widowed sister-in-law wanted me to introduce a rural wife to her son.

He needed someone who was pretty, knew how to take care of the family, and was capable of doing housework, so he immediately thought of Qin Jingru, the sixth daughter of the Qin family.

Since Doctor Han has taken a liking to Qin Jingru, he plans to talk to Qin Jingru's parents about it tomorrow.

He wondered if he could arrange for Qin Jingru, this young girl, to go on a blind date with his nephew so that the marriage could be arranged. That way, he could at least do justice to his deceased brother.

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao immediately chimed in before Qin Jingru could speak.

"Dr. Han, I am Qin Jingru's boyfriend. My name is Xu Damao, and I work at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill."

Doctor Han was quite surprised to hear this. He gave Xu Damao a strange look before finally looking back at Qin Jingru.

"Sixth Sister, is he really your boyfriend?"

Qin Jingru noticed Doctor Han's gaze, and she knew that Doctor Han had probably figured something out.

"Uncle Han, we're dating, but we haven't made a decision yet."

"I brought him here today because I wanted you to take a look at his illness."

Xu Damao stepped forward and sat down next to Doctor Han, extending his left hand.

"Dr. Han, please take a look at me."

He had already guessed what was wrong with Xu Damao just by glancing at him.

Although Dr. Han was quite dissatisfied with Xu Damao, who had taken away his ideal nephew's wife, he did not directly refuse.

He placed three fingers on Xu Damao's pulse, carefully feeling the changes in his pulse.

A little while later, he had Xu Damao switch to the other hand, and soon, Doctor Han had a good idea of ​​what was going on.

Xu Damao's pulse was thin and floating, rapid and disordered, indicating a deficiency of both Yin and Yang, and a failure of the Po (魄) to return to its proper place.

Have you been feeling anxious or agitated these past few days? Have you been sweating profusely? Have you been waking up in the middle of the night sometimes?

Xu Damao nodded.

"That's right, these symptoms have been going on for four or five days now."

"Doctor Han said again."

"There should also be symptoms such as dizziness, weakness in the limbs, soreness in the lower back and knees, and dizziness when bending over or squatting for a long time."

As soon as Dr. Han finished speaking, Xu Damao excitedly grasped his hand.

"Miracle doctor, Dr. Han, you are truly a miracle doctor!"

"You've described all my symptoms correctly, do you have a way to cure my illness?!"

Doctor Han did not answer his question. Instead, he withdrew his hand and spoke to Qin Jingru, who was standing to the side.

"Sixth Sister, go out for a moment, I need to give him a check-up."

Although Qin Jingru didn't know what kind of examination Dr. Han was going to perform, she still obediently got up and left the room.

Seeing Qin Jingru leave, Doctor Han said to Xu Damao, who was standing to the side full of hope.

"Alright, Xu Damao, the person's already gone. Take your pants off now!"

Xu Damao was wondering what kind of examination was going to be performed, but when he heard that he was to take off his pants, he was stunned.

Chapter 188 It's hopeless. Go back and prepare for the worst! [Please subscribe]

"Dr. Han, why do I need to take my pants off?"

Although this Dr. Han was also a man, Xu Damao was still a little embarrassed to take off his pants in front of outsiders.

What's more, compared to a normal man, his thing is missing a few parts; since being discharged from the hospital, he hasn't been to a public bathhouse much.

When I feel like taking a shower, I just take one at home.

Before going to the countryside this time, he went to a public bathhouse. He went early in the morning when there were hardly any people there, and he even wore underwear when he went into the pool.

The number of patients Dr. Han has seen is countless, including those living in the Red Star Commune.

Many people have never been to a health clinic, and even more have never been to a major hospital, but very few have never sought treatment from Han Yiping.

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, listening, questioning, and palpation. Han Yiping may not be particularly skilled in other areas, but he is quite adept at observation.

"How can I see a doctor if you don't take your clothes off?"

"Take it off quickly, I need to confirm my diagnosis."

"If you don't want to get treatment, then go back. It's a big no-no to avoid seeking medical help when you're sick."

Xu Damao was already a little embarrassed, but after hearing Doctor Han speak like this, he didn't dare to hesitate any longer.

"Dr. Han, I'll treat you, of course I'll treat you."

"Wait a moment, I'll take it off now."

As he spoke, Xu Damao quickly unbuckled his belt and took off his pants in no time, leaving no underwear behind as well.

This completely exposed the area where Xu Damao had undergone surgery. After examining it, Doctor Han sighed.

"Alright, put your pants on."

Xu Damao put on his pants and fastened his belt, then walked back to Doctor Han.

Xu Damao looked at Doctor Han with hopeful eyes, hoping to get news from him that he could be cured.

Time ticked by, and Doctor Han tapped his fingers on the table, his brows furrowed.

There's a saying that goes, "It's not the smiling faces of Western doctors that's scary, it's the sullen expressions of traditional Chinese medicine doctors." The current state of Dr. Han, with his tightly furrowed brows and silent demeanor, has quite frightened Xu Damao.

He had been full of hope, but seeing Doctor Han like this, he began to feel uneasy and a sense of unease crept into his heart.

"Dr. Han, is my illness incurable?"

Upon hearing this, Doctor Han looked up and glanced at Xu Damao.

Why do you think I can't cure it?

Xu Damao swallowed hard.

"I see you're frowning. Isn't that a sign of uncertainty in traditional Chinese medicine?"

Doctor Han snorted coldly.

“Absurd, that's just nonsense I heard.”

"My frown isn't because I'm unsure about your illness, nor because I can't think of a way to treat it."

"I just feel sorry for you. You were perfectly healthy and could have been cured with medicine, but you had to go through this ordeal."

"Originally, if your body were handed over to me, with careful care, you would surely be able to have children like a normal person."

"But now that I've taken this blow, even if I use all my skills, I only have a 60-70% chance of success at most."

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao's eyes lit up.

Sixty or seventy percent of my score would not be considered high under normal circumstances, but for him, it is already quite impressive.
