Chapter 132 A Middle-Aged Couple
The mother and daughter chatted for about ten minutes, but the old lady still shook her head: "Zhang Shiqing is in Zhejiang Province now. We haven't seen him with our own eyes, so how can you be sure he will be cured? What if the Zhang family really agrees to this marriage, but Zhang Shiqing still can't walk? Would your Ding family still be willing?"
Gu Shuang had never considered this possibility.
"Mom, I don't think this is a big problem. According to inside information I received, Zhang Shiqing was already able to sit up when he left for Zhejiang Province. I heard that the miracle doctor only treated him for about ten days and he had such an effect. Now he has been treated there for more than half a month, and he must be recovering even better."
"Mom, you have acquaintances over there, right? Make a call and ask someone to check at the hospital. While you're at it, also inquire about that miracle doctor. You and Dad are getting old; you never know when you might need his help."
The last sentence really caught the old lady's attention.
The old lady didn't care at all about how Zhang Shiqing had recovered.
But if this miracle doctor is really that amazing, then we really need to win him over.
She and her husband were indeed getting older. They only had one son, Gu Guoliang, who was almost forty years old and had accomplished nothing. How could she not be anxious?
As for Gu Shuang, she was her ex-husband's child. Later, she remarried the old man and changed her surname to Gu.
Although she changed her surname, Gu Shuang's position in the Gu family was awkward, especially since Gu Qingmai lived there and never acknowledged Gu Shuang as a member of the Gu family.
As people get older, they inevitably start thinking about leaving themselves a way out.
If one's children or grandchildren are unfilial, someone still needs to take care of them, right?
Although the higher-ups have made arrangements for the old man, and he has a nanny and a bodyguard at home, it's still a different story.
"Alright, I'll call and ask about it. I can't guarantee whether it will work out or not."
"Alright, that's enough!"
Gu Shuang's biological father was an ordinary citizen who later died in the war. Gu Shuang married a high-ranking official with her mother when she was young. At that time, she only felt that she could finally have enough to eat, and nothing else mattered.
As one gets older and witnesses more power and wealth, one's mind becomes more magnanimous.
Gu Shuang dared not covet the Gu family's assets because she knew perfectly well that she was not a member of the Gu family at all.
But she can use the Gu family's connections to her advantage!
If it weren't for her surname being Gu, she wouldn't have been able to marry into the Ding family back then. Now that she has the opportunity to benefit herself again, she certainly won't give it up easily.
After accompanying the old lady on the phone call, Gu Shuang picked up her small bag and left.
As long as Zhang Shiqing can recover, even if he can't go to the battlefield again, as long as he can walk, it doesn't matter if he's a little lame!
Given Zhang Shiqing's status, who would dare to disrespect him?
After Ye Nuan finished her rounds following Director Su, she returned to her office to make some notes and hand over her duties. She then quickly drank half a glass of water before going to the cadre ward to visit Zhang Shiqing.
Although Ye Nuan is a doctor, she always knocks symbolically on the door of the ward whenever the patient is male, because she is considering that the patient is male.
Ye Nuan was still holding the notebook and her belongings in her hand.
"how do you feel today?"
After asking the question, Ye Nuan noticed that there were other people in the room.
They appeared to be a couple, but their backgrounds were unclear. However, they were dressed neatly and cleanly, and their clothes had no patches, so they were probably officials.
After all, ordinary people probably wouldn't even see Zhang Shiqing.
"Dr. Ye, my uncle didn't sleep well last night, and he keeps saying his back is very sore this morning."
"Hmm, what caused you to not sleep well? Was it because you weren't feeling well, or something else?"
The question was directed at Zhang Shiqing, and Zhang Fendou didn't dare to answer.
"I just keep wanting to turn over. Even when I'm asleep, I dream about trying to turn over, and then I wake up."
Ye Nuan nodded, understanding. This was a case of "what you think about during the day, you dream about at night."
Zhang Shiqing wanted to turn over and move around easily, but he couldn't do it without any obstacles, which is why he kept waking up in his sleep.
This is normal.
Anyone who has repeatedly held onto hope only to have it dashed would have this reaction.
"It's alright. I'll prepare some spices for you tonight. Light them before bed; they'll help calm your nerves."
"Thank you, Dr. Ye."
The middle-aged woman standing nearby disagreed: "Young doctor, why can't you just prescribe some oral medication? Is using incense appropriate?"
Ye Nuan then glanced at the woman and said, "Yes, he's taking a lot of medication right now, so it's not suitable for him to take any more."
The woman then asked, "You don't seem very old. Are you a married man? Are you capable of making this decision?"
Ye Nuan didn't even glance at her this time, and directly told Zhang Fendou to ask her to leave, as she needed to examine Zhang Shiqing.
Zhang Fendou gestured for the two to wait outside. At the same time, two more nurses came in, mainly to apply medicine to Zhang Shiqing.
“Good, you can stop after one more application of this medicine. As for the medication we take afterward, we need to adjust it as well. I'll try to change the acupuncture to the afternoon, which will be better for your sleep at night.”
"Okay, thank you, Dr. Ye."
"Not really. In your current condition, you should be able to get out of bed in about a week. However, it will be a bit painful at first, and you'll need two people to help you."
"I'm not afraid of pain, what I'm truly afraid of is not feeling anything!"
Ye Nuan smiled and said to one of the nurses, "We'll arrange for a male nurse to come over here specifically for Comrade Zhang. With Comrade Zhang's cooperation, the two of them will be the most suitable to help the patient with rehabilitation."
"Okay, Dr. Ye."
"No need for all that trouble, one person working hard is enough."
Zhang Shiqing originally wanted to show that he wasn't so useless, and that his nephew was quite strong.
When Ye Nuan heard this, her face darkened.
"Comrade Zhang, I need to remind you that I am the doctor now, and you are the patient. You must follow the doctor's orders! Your condition is improving. If you were to accidentally fall now, the consequences would be unimaginable. Do you understand?"
Ye Nuan's face darkened, and Zhang Shiqing was also a little scared.
After all, Ye Nuan was a doctor, and she spoke so seriously that Zhang Shiqing had no choice but to listen.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Fendou repeatedly expressed his gratitude, saying he dared not offend the doctor.
When Ye Nuan came out of the ward, she found that the man and woman were still there.
Ye Nuan had no intention of talking to them and walked straight toward the office.
"Dr. Ye, please wait!"
Ye Nuan stopped and looked at the person who had come in: "Is there something you need?"
The man who called out to Ye Nuan was none other than Huang Youzhi, the director of the Finance Bureau.
More importantly, he is Huang Sisi's father, and the woman he was with before was Huang Sisi's mother, Zhang Wanyi!
