1970s: My childhood sweetheart ran away, and I turned around and married the wildest chief.

Miao Cuiying and Li Dongmei went to buy groceries immediately that afternoon, preparing to make more for tomorrow. They also increased the quantity of meat buns, and found that the more expensive meat buns were actually selling better.

On the second day, the net profit was around forty but less than fifty. On the third day, it increased again, reaching over fifty.

It was Wednesday, the day Qiao Wanqing had arranged to take her second child to see the doctor. She ate breakfast and took the bus to the shop. It was already past nine o'clock, and breakfast was long over. The family was all ready.

Qiao Wanqing took them to the hospital.

Qiao Wanqing consulted two doctors. One was introduced by Xu's maternal grandfather, and the other was introduced by Qiao's paternal grandfather. His maternal grandfather was a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, but he rarely treated patients. Learning medicine was more of a family tradition. He was better at doing business and managing the family, but he still knew quite a few people.

My grandfather has his own circle of friends. He's a researcher and knows a lot of geniuses in various fields, including medicine.

The person I met today was introduced by my grandfather. He lives in Beijing and is said to have superb medical skills. These days, people who have inherited medical skills must have a good family background. A few years ago, these people were considered dangerous.

However, this old man was a highly skilled doctor and should have been fine. Unfortunately, he was framed, and his whole family almost met with disaster. Luckily, they ran away quickly and returned to their hometown, where they have been safe for the past few years.

Now that things are different, he immediately came back and reconnected with his old friends. The old man now works at the factory hospital in the machinery plant.

This old man is a highly skilled doctor, specializing in traditional Chinese medicine. Often, his medical treatments don't cost much. He can diagnose your illness in a short time by taking your pulse, and after some herbal medicine and acupuncture, many ailments are resolved.

Compared to all the various tests and random pills at the hospital, it was incredibly cheap. The factory even arranged several jobs and provided housing for his family.

Qiao Wanqing had arranged a time in advance, so when she arrived at his office, there was no one else there except the old man, who was waiting for them!

"Grandpa Zhou, I am Qiao Wanqing. I made an appointment with you before."

Zhou Zhenglin looked up and smiled kindly. "You're the Qiao family's granddaughter?"

Qiao Wanqing smiled and said, "Yes, my grandfather is Qiao Xueyuan, Grandpa Zhou, and this is my husband's second brother. He has a lingering condition from an illness he had as a child. Could you take a look at him?"

Zhou Zhenglin was a very thin old man, but he was not short at all. He had a long beard and looked like a sage.

He snorted coldly, "I know you're from the Qiao family, there's no need to mention his name in front of me."

Still Qiao Xueyuan?

Learned?

Shameless!

The two have been friends for many years and are both geniuses in their respective fields. Zhou Zhenglin gets annoyed whenever this name is mentioned.

Qiao Wanqing: "..."

Zhou Zhenglin took Lu Erge's pulse and carefully touched his head, asking about his condition over the years. Miao Cuiying was very meticulous; she remembered every treatment process her son underwent. So she explained in detail how he was injured when he was a child, what happened afterward, and all the treatments he received over the years.

Zhou Zhenglin listened, and looked at Lu Erge with some surprise in his eyes.

If we're talking about the child's early injuries, even if he didn't become mentally disabled, he probably wouldn't have been far from it. But because he received treatment afterward, he recovered somewhat. But even so, it's not certain that he could recover to this extent.

Zhou Zhenglin felt that this person was just a little less intelligent than a normal smart person. There are many people in the world who are not very bright, and not everyone is brain-damaged in childhood. Most people are born this way.

In the current situation, even if it's left untreated, it won't have a major impact; it just means the person won't be very smart.

"Did you... encounter a famous doctor before?"

Miao Cuiying blinked. "I have never given up over the years and have seen all sorts of famous doctors."

Zhou Zhenglin: "..."

"His condition has recovered very well. I'll prescribe some medicine and give him acupuncture to reduce some of the aftereffects, but it's probably impossible for him to become much smarter."

He could reduce the aftereffects, but in all his years of medical practice, he had never seen anyone who could turn someone who had become mentally challenged back to normal. Brain injury is a very serious injury, and many people suffer from it for the rest of their lives. There was nothing he could do about it.

Although Miao Cuiying was somewhat disappointed, she also understood that after so many years, she was already very satisfied with the improvement.

"Okay, doctor, we'll do whatever you say. As long as we get better, we'll be satisfied. We'll do whatever you say."

Doctors love obedient patients, so he performed acupuncture on the spot. Qiao Wanqing watched the old man's acupuncture technique intently from the side. What a master!

Zhou Zhenglin knew the little girl was watching, and he also knew that she had learned some medical skills from her maternal grandfather. However, the Xu family's environment was more about cultivating one's character than anything else. He knew that even if her maternal grandfather came, let alone the little girl in front of him, he would still be someone without much practical experience.

The old man wasn't afraid of her looking at him; all his attention was on his second son. His old eyes were sparkling with excitement as he wondered if he could produce the first person who would go from being a fool to a normal person.

I'm so excited just thinking about it!

Forty minutes later, the old man removed the needles and quickly wrote a prescription on his desk. "Go get the medicine. Boil three bowls of water down to one bowl. Take one dose in the morning and one in the evening. Come to me for acupuncture once a week every Wednesday. I'll adjust the prescription as needed."

Miao Cuiying quickly took the prescription, thanked them, and Qiao Wanqing also thanked them before leaving.

"Grandpa Zhou, thank you so much. I'll take my second brother to get the medicine now!"

Just as she was about to leave, Zhou Zhenglin quickly called out to her, "Wait a minute. I heard from your grandfather that you had five children, first twins, then triplets, is that right?"

Qiao Wanqing nodded.

Zhou Zhenglin said, "Stretch out your hand, let me see!"

Qiao Wanqing guessed what the old man wanted to do, so she obediently handed him her hand. After taking her pulse for a while, the old man angrily chased her away, his hand leaving afterimages in the air. "Go, go, get out of here! You Qiao family members are all monsters, each one as strong as an ox. You can still be this strong after giving birth, you don't need any supplements at all. Get out of here!"

Qiao Wanqing: "..."

Qiao Wanqing grinned, her smile radiant. "Grandpa, I'm a bit of a glutton, so I probably eat a lot of good food, which is why I'm so healthy!"

Zhou Zhenglin snorted coldly, "Your physical condition can't be achieved simply by eating well and getting good supplements; it's a natural gift!"

Qiao Wanqing was even happier!
