Chapter 194 Feigning Paralysis for 78 Years
"Dr. Jiang, we'll head over there now," Tian Huiji said with a smile, lifting the cart and leaving.
Jiang Linwan watched Tian Huiji and the others leave before heading towards Aunt Cui's sister's house.
When she arrived, the woman was standing at the door waiting. When she saw Jiang Linwan come by herself, she was both shocked and grateful: "Dr. Jiang, why did you come by yourself?"
"I should have waited for you to come with me then. It must have been so inconvenient for you with that big belly."
Jiang Linwan listened to her polite words and entered the courtyard with a smile: "Aunt Cui came with me, but she has something to do and will be a little late."
Where is your sister-in-law? I'll go check on her first.
She said she and the old lady went into a side room. The room was spacious and the sunlight shone in, and it was very clean and tidy.
It's clear that this family treats their sister-in-law quite well. Some families, if someone has been paralyzed for so many years, wouldn't even bother to clean their house, let alone take care of their personal hygiene.
"This is my sister-in-law. She used to be so hardworking and a very good person. How did she end up with this illness?" The old woman said with a face full of regret.
Jiang Linwan stared at the woman on the hospital bed with a rosy complexion, her expression slightly stunned.
Looking at this person's complexion, she couldn't tell that he was someone who had been bedridden for a long time; on the contrary, he looked even healthier than the old woman.
Hearing her sister-in-law's words, the woman on the bed opened her eyes and looked at Jiang Linwan. Seeing that it was such a young doctor, she said with red eyes, "Sister-in-law, why did you find a doctor for me again?"
How many doctors have I seen over the years? How much money have I spent, but none of them have cured my illness.
"I'm afraid I'll be bedridden for the rest of my life, and I'm used to it. You don't need to waste any more money on me."
"This won't do. You're so young. You should be finding a good husband, getting married, having children, and living a promising life. Instead, you're lying in bed every day."
"I feel so sorry for you living like this, unable to take care of yourself. Let's get you better, and then you can go wherever you want, okay?" the old woman said, her eyes red.
Seeing how considerate the two women were, Jiang Linwan felt a surge of emotion. She sat down and felt the girl's pulse, and soon frowned.
The old woman's face darkened, but she quickly said strongly, "Is there no hope for Dr. Jiang? It's alright, if there's no hope, then there's no hope."
Every doctor says that, sigh.
A smile flickered across the woman's eyes, but she quickly said with reddened eyes, "Sister-in-law, don't be too upset. It's all my fault for being so weak. How could I have ended up like this after just one fall?"
These past years have truly been tough for you and your older brother.
Jiang Linwan frowned not because he couldn't be cured, but because a person who has been paralyzed for a long time and whose meridians are blocked will inevitably have a deep, slow, hesitant, and weak pulse.
However, her pulse was steady and smooth, with unobstructed flow of qi and blood, and her five internal organs were in harmony, showing no signs of stagnation or deficiency whatsoever.
Not only was she healthy, but she was even healthier than most people who took care of themselves. No wonder she looked so radiant.
Jiang Linwan roughly guessed what was going on: "Big sister, may I take a look at your legs?"
The woman on the bed nodded. Over the years, many doctors had come, but they only took her pulse and examined her legs, and couldn't say anything.
Jiang Linwan lifted the covers and reached towards her legs, and sure enough—
If someone is truly paralyzed, their leg muscles would have atrophied long ago from prolonged inactivity. This person's muscles, and the way they feel when touched, are all normal.
She increased the pressure in her hand slightly and looked at the woman's face. Sure enough, she saw that the woman's brows were slightly furrowed.
"Do you feel anything?"
The woman feigned pain and shook her head: "No."
Jiang Linwan took out silver needles from her bag, sighed and said, "Although your illness has been going on for a long time, it is still curable. As long as I give you acupuncture for a period of time, you will definitely get better."
Don't worry, my technique is professional, it won't hurt.
As she spoke, she took out the thickest and longest needle. When the woman on the bed saw this, she was so frightened that her face turned pale instantly, and she stammered, "I, I'm scared, I don't want to be pricked like this."
Sister-in-law, my illness is already this bad, don't waste money on unnecessary treatments.
The older woman was also a little worried about the cost and asked, "How much will this cost?"
"If you can't cure me, you don't have to pay. If you can cure me, just give me five yuan," Jiang Linwan said.
The old woman, who had been hesitant, suddenly brightened up and immediately said, "Then let's treat her."
If it can't be cured, you don't have to pay. What a great deal!
Anyway, I'll give it a try. If it works, it won't be expensive. The previous doctor charged me 50 cents for travel expenses, not to mention the medicine and such. It would cost me two or three dollars and I still wouldn't be cured.
Jiang Linwan took out silver needles and inserted them into the woman's leg. She chose a spot that would hurt the most but wouldn't harm her. As soon as the needles were inserted, the woman cried out in pain and thrashed about, saying, "I don't want it anymore! I don't want it anymore!"
The old woman was shocked to see her sister-in-law's legs twitching. She exclaimed, "Dr. Jiang, you're amazing! One injection and she's all better!"
Jiang Linwan smiled and pulled the old woman out of the house.
"Your sister-in-law is not sick at all. She looks healthier than you. None of you have ever seen her get out of bed and walk."
I noticed she still had muscles in her legs; it didn't seem like she'd never exercised before.
The old woman was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief, "No, that can't be."
I've never seen my sister-in-law get out of bed when I come home from work..."
Her face turned somewhat pale after she finished speaking. Yes, she went to work during the day, not stayed at home all day.
"You can come back and check again tonight or another day after you go out," Jiang Linwan said.
The old woman nodded, but the thought of her sister-in-law lying in bed all these years doing nothing and still having to be waited on by her every day made her face turn green with anger.
That brat is too audacious! She actually pretended to be paralyzed without telling her family. She has to tell her man.
Jiang Linwan put away her needles and reminded her, "Don't tell anyone until you've investigated this matter thoroughly."
The old woman was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was going on. If the whole family really knew and kept her in the dark as a free nanny, she would definitely want a divorce.
Jiang Linwan checked the time, a little worried about Tian Zhaodi, and changed the subject: "Auntie, is there a wedding in the village next door?"
The old woman curled her lips: "Yes, the Jiang family is having a wedding. Who would have a wedding in the morning?"
Their family is special; they didn't even greet their neighbors and relatives before holding the wedding in the afternoon without saying a word. Although it was a second marriage, it wasn't anything shameful.
They were doing it so secretly; anyone who didn't know better would think they were doing something shady.
"Shall we all go to the wedding banquet tonight?" Jiang Linwan asked.
The old lady nodded: "Yes, we'll go tonight. If Dr. Jiang isn't busy, he can come with me tonight."
The Jiang family is wealthy. Their daughter married the son of the food factory manager, and the whole family was put up with jobs at the factory, receiving salaries and living lavishly.
Jiang Linwan: "Sure, let's go take a look now."
The old woman was stunned; she was just being polite...
