Chapter 179: Things Are Getting Better
Ye Nuan knew that the Huang family had some influence in the area. Although she wasn't afraid, it didn't mean she wanted to cause trouble.
Because of the nature of Gu Hanchuan's work, Ye Nuan was reluctant to have conflicts with others. Moreover, she was not without her own shortcomings, so she always advocated for harmony.
"So you forgave them so easily?"
Feng Xiuying came over to visit Ye Nuan and overheard her conversation with Duan Gang, feeling quite annoyed by her lack of ambition.
"Otherwise what? I'm just a doctor, and they've already come to apologize. There's no need for me to keep harping on this. Besides, the Huang family hasn't fared well under my control either, and I don't want to push things too far."
"But there's a saying: 'If you don't kill the snake, you'll suffer the consequences!'"
Duan Gang held his teacup, his face full of disapproval.
He still felt that Huang Youzhi and Zhang Wanyi were scoundrels, and that the two of them wouldn't be so kind as to change their ways.
Feng Xiuying nodded, agreeing with Duan Gang's point of view.
Ye Nuan just gave a bitter smile and didn't say anything.
They can't very well say that they are weak and powerless in Zhejiang Province and can't afford to offend the Huang family, can they?
Moreover, Huang Youzhi bowing his head was already enough for her. If she really drove the Huang family to the brink of despair, then the goodwill she had with the Zhang family would be exhausted.
Although neither Mr. Zhang nor Mr. Zhang Shiqing liked Mr. and Mrs. Huang Youzhi, Zhang Wanyi was, after all, surnamed Zhang.
Often, a moment of anger doesn't mean that someone truly disregards blood ties.
The reason I'm doing this is actually to give the Zhang family face, not because I'm truly afraid of the Huang family.
However, there's no need to spell these things out too clearly.
After all, Duan Gang and Feng Xiuying are outsiders, and there's no need to involve them.
"Alright, that's how things are. There's no need to delve any deeper. Besides, the Huang family has more than just Huang Youzhi. We shouldn't get involved in official matters; we should just mind our own business."
These words were actually meant to advise Duan Gang and Feng Xiuying that there was no need to take things too seriously.
Everyone has to make a living. How can we be like those chivalrous heroes who seek revenge for every wrong they have? And what happens after they've taken their revenge?
We all live in the real world, so we need to think further ahead.
Feng Xiuying is older than Ye Nuan, but she is immature.
It's probably mainly because she's focused all her energy on her profession, and she doesn't really know anything else.
The three of them went to the cafeteria for lunch.
The hospital cafeteria is quite good. Because it's a military hospital, they receive more subsidies from above.
The three of them ordered three dishes and each got three ounces of rice, and they ate with great relish.
Feng Xiuying was off work today and came over to visit Ye Nuan, only to find that Ye Nuan was too busy. She was either making rounds, being suddenly called to the emergency room, or being called away for a consultation by some department head.
In short, Feng Xiuying felt that coming here was just asking for trouble.
Fortunately, there's still Duan Gang.
Feng Xiuying didn't understand what it meant to "poke someone in the lungs," so she asked directly, "Why are you so free? Is it because your medical skills aren't as good as Ye Nuan's that you're so relaxed?"
Duan Gang knew what kind of person Feng Xiuying was and what kind of mind she had, so he wasn't angry.
"I'm free because I'm like those other doctors. We're Western medicine doctors, while Ye Nuan is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. They want to find a traditional Chinese medicine doctor for a consultation, but I wouldn't know anything about it if I went!"
Feng Xiuying suddenly realized: "So Ye Nuan is still more capable?"
Duan Gang scoffed, "If we're talking about traditional Chinese medicine, there aren't many in our hospital who would dare say they're better than her. But if we're talking about Western medicine, she's definitely at the bottom."
Feng Xiuying scoffed: "How can that be the same? You all have formal education and have all been to university, but Ye Nuan has never been to university."
"Yes, that's true, but I guess I'll have to start this year."
"Huh? She's going to university?"
"She'll most likely go. She's a genius at medicine; it would be a waste of talent if she didn't study medicine."
"You admire her a lot?" Duan Xiuying became increasingly curious.
Duan Gang didn't mince words and spoke frankly: "Ye Nuan is very capable. She is not only good at traditional Chinese medicine, but also makes rapid progress in Western medicine. Now, she can be Director Su's second assistant in the operating room."
"so smart?"
"Yes, she works very hard, but she still suffers because she hasn't systematically studied Western medicine. That's why Director Su strongly recommended her to go to university this year. Director Su has been mentoring her for almost a year and basically treats her as a student."
"Oh, Director Su, you're in neurosurgery, right?"
"No, Director Su's original major was surgery, and later he specialized in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In China, he's a top expert in this field!"
Duan Gang gave a thumbs up.
Feng Xiuying didn't argue with him. She didn't understand the details, but she had heard from her elders that Director Su was very capable and could cure many diseases that others couldn't.
Moreover, the moment the word "blood vessel" is mentioned, everyone knows that it is definitely not a simple surgery that involves sewing an incision.
Ding Dawang came to the hospital again today, this time for a follow-up check-up.
His eyes were already showing signs of recovery, so Ye Nuan took him directly to the treatment room for another acupuncture session.
The lame old man came along too.
It's clear that he's quite satisfied with this son he adopted halfway through life. The only downside is that one of them is blind and the other is lame, and they're often called a useless father and son by the children in the neighborhood!
Those children may not have thought too much; they were just being straightforward. But for the father and son, it could have been a source of harm.
Fortunately, the lame old man wasn't newly lame, so he didn't care about that.
Ding Dawang rarely goes out, so he rarely hears such comments.
After Ye Nuan finished the acupuncture, she told Ding Dawang to lie down in bed for a while.
"Sixth Brother, the child is recovering very well, and you can tell he's gained weight. You've taken excellent care of him."
"Oh, not at all. I'm just a rough man and don't know how to take care of children. I just make sure they're fed and clothed. I don't know anything else."
Ye Nuan smiled. The more simple and honest a person's thoughts are, the more you can tell whether they are sincere or not.
"Dawang suffered some physical damage a few years ago, but it's not a big problem. With proper care for a couple of years, he can recover."
The lame old man was a little anxious: "Do I need to take medicine?"
"We'll see. There's no need to give him any special tonics. After all, he's just a kid, and it'll be easier to get him back to health. If my little cannon makes some medicinal food later, I'll have him send a bowl over. That way, he'll get better on his own."
The lame old man could tell that they were intentionally taking care of him.
"Thank you so much, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
"No, Xiao Gangpao isn't busy these days. Anyway, it's just to nourish him and Yueyue. They're both kids, so the effects are about the same."
