The intern taught a top-performing class, and the parents wanted to change the homeroom teacher.

The general surgeon looked at the prescription, but he didn't understand traditional Chinese medicine, so he hurriedly called a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.

"Hey? Dr. Chen, I have an emergency case here, it might be related to a traditional Chinese medicine prescription, could you please take a look?"

As he spoke, he immediately started a video call.

On the other end of the video is an elderly man wearing glasses, with a row of Chinese medicine shelves behind him.

"Let me see... Coptis chinensis, rhubarb, dried ginger, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Salvia miltiorrhiza..." Dr. Chen muttered to himself, "This is all about promoting blood circulation, calming the nerves, and is extremely pungent and hot... What kind of nonsense is this? I can't see what it's supposed to treat! And drinking too much of this medicine will irritate the gastric mucosa and damage the spleen and stomach. Who prescribed this?"

The general surgeon continued, "Dr. Chen, are the side effects of this medication strong?"

Dr. Chen: "This prescription doesn't even cure the disease, so how could it have any side effects? Its main effect is to irritate the gastric mucosa. What happened? What exactly happened?"

The general surgeon suppressed his anger and recounted the incident.

Dr. Chen's eyes widened, and he exclaimed with distress, "Oh dear! Why are you drinking Chinese medicine if you're not sick! You can't just drink Chinese medicine randomly! There's no such thing as a brain-boosting prescription. Even if there were, could you afford it?"

Zhang Li, who was listening nearby, turned pale and kept muttering, "Impossible, impossible, this is just for the brain..."

Zhao Kaihua was trembling with anger, but still spoke with a glimmer of hope, "Doctor, could there be other possibilities? Maybe it's food poisoning?"

"These things are too much for a normal person to drink long-term. Your child has been able to endure it for two months, which means he's in very good physical condition. Okay, I need to get the medicine now. Bye, sign the papers and get to the surgery." Dr. Chen hung up the phone.

The corridor fell silent.

"Impossible, this is just for brain health, how could I harm Qihang?" Zhang Li murmured, her face pale.

"Snapped!"

Zhao Kaihua slapped Zhang Li hard across the face, roaring, "Zhang Li, look what you've done! Didn't I tell you not to drink Chinese medicine indiscriminately?! Qihang's in trouble now!"

The slap was so forceful that Zhang Li staggered two steps before collapsing to the ground.

The others rushed forward to pull him away; who could have predicted that Zhao Kaihua would suddenly slap Zhang Li?

Zhang Li stared at him in disbelief. "You...you dare hit me?"

Zhao Kaihua is now filled with remorse. He had told Zhang Li not to drink these things on the first day she brewed the medicine.

But Zhang Li insisted that it could improve brain function, saying it was a prescription she got from an old Chinese medicine doctor, and she also didn't think a mother could harm her son.

So after saying it twice and having two big arguments, Zhao Kaihua gave up.

We've had disagreements about raising children before.

Zhao Kaihua felt that Zhang Li was too strict, and Zhang Li couldn't stand it, so she let Zhao Kaihua take charge. But after Zhao Kaihua took charge, Zhang Li would interfere from time to time, saying that this was not allowed and that was not allowed.

We can't be too lenient, or the child will become lazy in their studies. They need to study more and play less games.

After another big argument, Zhao Kaihua simply stopped interfering in the child's education and left all the studying to Zhang Li.

Otherwise, the family will be arguing every day, and no one will be able to have a comfortable life.

Moreover, Zhao Kaihua also believes that no matter how strict a mother is, she would never harm her son.

Now it's really caused problems!

He drank it for two months and never bothered with it again in between!

"You've ruined Qihang like this, do you think you'd wake up if I didn't hit you?!" Zhao Kaihua roared.

When Zhang Li heard Zhao Kaihua's question, her heart clenched. "No, no, I was doing it for his own good. I just wanted to give the child some brain-boosting supplements."

"Fuck your mother!" Zhao Kaihua's eyes turned red with anger, wishing he could slap her again.

"Alright! The most urgent thing now is to perform surgery!" the general surgeon said seriously. "The child has acute diffuse peritonitis and needs immediate surgery!"

The general surgeon immediately explained the patient's condition, treatment plan, and medical risks.

"If there are no problems, please sign!"

"I'll sign, I'll sign!" Zhao Kaihua quickly signed the document, then bent over to kneel. "Doctor, please save my son! I'm begging you, I'm begging you, please save him!"

The general surgeon pulled him up and led him into the operating room, leaving a mess in the corridor.

Li Chong'an and Director Pan exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

He said nothing, yet he said everything.

Li Chong'an walked over to Zhao Kaihua and comforted him, "Mr. Zhao, please sit down for a while. The child will definitely be alright."

Zhao Kaihua stood there, looking lost and dejected. After a moment, he looked at Zhang Li and spoke with barely suppressed rage.

"Zhang Li, you better pray Qihang is alright, or I'll never forgive you!"

Zhang Li slumped to the ground, gradually regaining her senses. "I was only doing it for his own good! How can you blame me? Wasn't it all for his grades...?"

Before she could finish speaking, she burst into tears again, "It wasn't me, I didn't know it was like this, I just wanted him to be a little smarter..."

Zhao Kaihua was furious. She rushed over, grabbed Zhang Li's shoulders tightly, and shook her violently. "You've ruined Qihang like this! Is this what you call doing it for his own good?!"

Li Chong'an and Director Pan quickly pulled the couple away, making room for them to sit on either side of each other.

While waiting, Zhao Kaihua's phone rang. It rang for quite a while before he heard it and took out his phone.

The caller ID showed "Mom".

When the call connected, Zhao Kaihua didn't even dare to speak.

A voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Kaihua, your dad and I asked someone to buy us a little free-range chicken. It's growing really well. We'll use it to nourish my grandson. I'll kill the chicken and bring it to you tonight. I wonder if Qihang is tired from studying. Let me tell you, don't push Qihang too hard. Just let things take their course."

The voice was joyful yet tinged with a hint of complaint.

Zhao Kaihua remained silent.

"Feed? Kaihua? Say something!"

"Mom," Zhao Kaihua said with difficulty, "Qihang is in the hospital right now. You and Dad should come over... Qihang has some stomach problems."

瞒？

It's impossible to hide, and there's no need to hide it.

"What?!"

The elderly couple panicked immediately upon hearing the news and rushed over by taxi.

After half an hour.

The elderly couple rushed to the emergency room entrance and saw Zhao Kaihua and Zhang Li, along with several other people they didn't recognize.

"Kaihua, Xiaoli, what's going on?" Grandpa Zhao asked anxiously.

Grandma Zhao, standing next to me, had red eyes; she had already cried once before coming.

Zhao Kaihua glanced at Zhang Li and then told her the whole story.

The elderly couple were immediately stunned.

"You brewed Chinese medicine for Qihang?!" Grandpa Zhao looked at Zhang Li in disbelief. "Zhang Li, what are you up to?! Do you have a grudge against my family?!"

Zhang Li shook her head frantically, "No, I didn't mean it! I was doing it for his own good..."

"Snapped!"

Grandma Zhao stepped forward and slapped her hard across the face, saying angrily, "Zhang Li! If anything happens to my grandson, I'll make you pay with your life!"

Grandpa Zhao, equally enraged, stepped forward, shouting, "All you do is force Qihang to study! What are you going to do to him?! You're even feeding him medicine now!"

"And you, Zhao Kaihua, what kind of father are you? You just stood by and watched Qihang drink his medicine!"

Grandma Zhao glared at Zhang Li, "Zhang Li, you don't need to say anything more. We're calling the police! Calling the police!"

"Zhao Kaihua, get a divorce right now! If you still consider me your mother, divorce this woman immediately!"
