If you don't consummate the marriage for three years and then marry a successful educated youth

He gave a wry smile and said, "Dr. Wen, I know that painkillers only treat the symptoms, not the root cause, and long-term use can lead to dependence and even cause stomach perforation, but I have no choice."

"The pain during an attack is so intense that I don't want to live if I don't take painkillers to relieve it."

"Recently, I've been having attacks every two or three days, and sometimes it's even once a day. I feel like all my bones are falling apart, my muscles are sore and weak. How much longer can I live like this?"

Wen Yao gently pressed her finger on the left side of her lower abdomen. Seeing that her expression changed, she said, "Auntie, if you have an internal organ problem, I can help you to gradually treat it."

"However, if it is a foreign object, then surgery is the only way to remove it. I suspect there is something in your uterus, about the size of a glass bead. If the X-ray is not taken carefully, it is easy to miss it."

"I once heard about a case where a mistake occurred during surgery, leaving a small piece of the incision inside the patient's abdomen. Over time, it was covered by the growing flesh, making it impossible to detect anything during examination."

"Later, as the pieces of meat grew larger, they were finally removed, and upon cutting them open, we discovered that tiny bit of the knife tip..."

Yun Cuilan's eyes widened slightly, and she said in shock, "No way, I had the surgery at the best hospital. There's no way something could have been left in my stomach."

Wen Yao pointed to her lower abdomen: "When you have an attack, there is a small hard lump on the left side. When you press it, it feels like a piece of flesh, about the size of a small glass bead."

"Go to Kyoto First Liberation Hospital. Their equipment is better. Take a close look at what's in your left abdomen. If you find something there, then come back to me for treatment."

"There is only one solution to the problem, and that is to have surgery. But surgery is very harmful to the body. Your body cannot withstand the surgery right now. You need to take care of your body before having surgery."

Wen Yao placed her hand on her shoulder and softened her voice: "Yes, I heard about that case. They couldn't find the cause anywhere else, but they found it at Jiefang Hospital and had surgery."

"He hasn't been in pain since the surgery. Of course, he's a man, and his physical condition is much better than yours. He can have the surgery directly, but you can't. You need to take care of your body first."

"Remember to go to Jiefang Hospital and get an appointment with Ding Baishan. He is a senior expert with rich experience and his examinations are very thorough."

Yun Cuilan looked at her, her eyes somewhat dazed: "Okay, I understand. I'll discuss it with Lao Shen and see when we can go for a check-up. What if we still don't find anything?"

Wen Yao paused for a moment before speaking: "If no problems can be found there, then you can only prepare to take medicinal diets for a long time and just take it one day at a time."

"Acupuncture can relieve your pain, and it's more effective than taking painkillers which can damage your internal organs. As long as you're not in pain, you won't think about suicide, right?"

"Conservative treatment is also a treatment method."

Yun Cuilan smiled bitterly: "Okay, I understand. Thank you for being so honest, Dr. Wen, instead of giving ambiguous answers like other doctors."

Wen Yao looked at her and said softly, "I am a doctor, and I have a responsibility to tell patients about their actual situation and how to choose patients to treat. Actually, if the cause of the illness cannot be found, as long as the pain is gone, you can still live a normal life, right?"

"It's not to the point of wanting to commit suicide yet. Let's check again."

"Okay, I got it. Thanks."

"It's alright. I'll get you some medicine to take back and take. Stabilize your condition first, reduce the pain, and then go to Kyoto to see a specialist for a thorough examination, especially in the left abdomen area."

Yun Cuilan nodded, took the medicine, paid the consultation fee, and the couple left quickly.

The captain asked in a low voice, "Damn it, Director Shen's wife looks really unwell. What kind of illness is so serious that it can torment her like this?"

"I'm not sure. The physical damage isn't the real cause of her illness. I can treat the physical damage, but if the real cause isn't addressed, the damage will keep recurring even after it's repaired."

"Oh, then this disease is incurable."

"There is a way. They need to go to Kyoto Liberation Hospital for X-rays. The equipment there is more advanced and the images are clearer. We can then decide on a treatment plan based on the results after the examination."

After Wen Yao finished speaking, she sighed: "If even the doctors in Kyoto can't find the cause, all I can do here is treat the symptoms, not the root cause, and alleviate the pain from her physical damage. We'll just have to take it one day at a time."

"Her body was severely damaged, and she was on the verge of death. Even if I intervened and treated her, it would only take five years. Now I just hope to find out the real cause of her illness."

The captain sighed and said, "Alright, you've done your best. Some symptoms require medical equipment to check. Don't overthink it. I should go back now. You get back to work."

"Yes, Father, take care."

"fine."

The person had barely left when a knock came at the door, followed by a young, unfamiliar voice: "Hello, is anyone home? Is this the Jiang family's house?"

Wen Yao looked at him and nodded: "You are Jiang Liejia, and who are you?"

"Haha, that's good. My name is Yang Chunsheng. I have relatives in Huaihua Brigade. I'm here to visit them and stay for a while. I was rescued by Jiang Lie when I went hunting in the mountains."

"I specially bought some things to thank him, and I also wanted to treat Brother Lie to a meal at a restaurant in town. If it weren't for him, I would have been in trouble that day."

Yang Chunsheng spoke with some unease. He actually had another purpose: he didn't know if the other party would agree. He figured it would be difficult for them to agree, but he was determined to give it a try.

Wen Yao nodded and said, "He went to chop wood. He'll be back soon. Sit here and have some tea while you wait."

"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law."

"fine."

He honestly placed the things he had brought on the table, sat quietly and waited, secretly glancing at the herbs drying in the sun, blinking without saying a word.

Jiang Lie returned carrying the withered wood, and upon seeing the person sitting in the courtyard, raised an eyebrow: "Yang Chunsheng, what are you doing here?"

Yang Chunsheng quickly stood up and jogged over, saying eagerly, "Brother Lie, I came here specifically to thank you. Thank you for saving me on the mountain last time; otherwise, I was afraid I would have been in danger."

"No, it's nothing, just a small favor. I'll accept the gift. Do you have anything else to do?"

"Yes, I'd like to invite you and your sister-in-law to a restaurant."

"Please give me a chance to thank you. When I got home, my grandfather scolded me, saying that I must repay this life-saving grace, otherwise I would feel guilty."

Jiang Lie waved his hand: "No need, I said it was no trouble at all. I've already accepted the gifts, so there's no need to spend money on a meal at a restaurant."

Yang Chunsheng shook his head, his face stubborn: "That won't do. My father-in-law told me that I have to eat, otherwise it would be too impolite. I don't know if you're free today."
