"You still care about Grandma? Grandma has been bedridden for a month. Although not seriously ill, she can eat and drink, but she just can't get out of bed. Countless renowned doctors have been consulted, but to no avail. You, on the other hand, only have Chen Feng, this low-level man, on your mind. Grandma truly doted on you in vain."
Wang Zihao and Wang Zishan accused Wang Ziwei.
"You're not trying to trick me, are you?"
Wang Ziwei retorted with a frown.
Grandma had always been in good health. How could she have been confined to bed for a month?
Furthermore, the Wang family of the capital was powerful, influential, and wealthy. What kind of divine physician couldn't they find? How could they have failed to cure Grandma all this time?
"Trick you? That's ridiculous. Even if we wanted to trick you, we wouldn't use Grandma's situation. You figure it out yourself."
After leaving Wang Ziwei with a resentful statement, Wang Zihao and Wang Zishan, along with a group of police officers, departed.
Initially, Wang Zihao and Wang Zishan had no intention of informing her about Grandma's critical condition.
They harbored a small selfish motive regarding Grandma.
If their sister Wang Ziwei didn't know about Grandma's imminent death, she wouldn't immediately return to the capital. Consequently, Grandma would become angry, and in her anger, she wouldn't leave the inheritance to Wang Ziwei.
Unexpectedly, fate had other plans. At such a crucial juncture, Wang Ziwei actually appeared in the capital.
Rather than letting Wang Ziwei discover Grandma's illness on her own, they decided to seize the opportunity and inform her about Grandma's sickness in an accusatory manner.
"Chen Feng, you heard them. My Grandma is ill, and I can't play with you anymore. How about this, you continue playing with Qin Yan and Cheng Lu, and I'll go home to see how Grandma is doing."
Wang Ziwei said anxiously.
"Teacher Wang, you are my woman, and your Grandma is my Grandma. How about this, I'll have Qin Yan and Cheng Lu return to Mingshan District first, let them quickly adapt to their work there, and I'll accompany you to see Grandma. To be honest, I used to run a traditional Chinese medicine factory, so I have some research in this area."
Chen Feng explained.
"What? You know traditional Chinese medicine?"
Wang Ziwei was stunned.
This man's expertise was too extensive.
Talent in politics, talent in business, martial arts, and now traditional Chinese medicine.
He was truly an all-around talent.
"Just a little bit. It was entirely due to running Meidao Pharmaceutical Company before, and I came into contact with traditional Chinese medicine. I felt that traditional Chinese medicine, like martial arts, was quite interesting. It has a strong Chinese character and is an excellent traditional Chinese culture, so I paid a little attention to it."
Chen Feng explained.
"But, I heard them say that traditional Chinese medicine, like martial arts, requires time for precipitation and cannot be achieved overnight..."
Wang Ziwei asked tentatively.
"Teacher Wang, you are absolutely right. In today's impetuous, money-driven society, both martial arts and traditional Chinese medicine do feel somewhat out of sync with the times. They require a calm mind and time to learn. To be frank, in today's society, not many people are willing to calmly learn martial arts and traditional Chinese medicine. They feel that instead of wasting time learning useless old things, it's better to focus on making money. My thoughts are different from theirs. I feel that martial arts and traditional Chinese medicine are excellent traditional Chinese cultures, very interesting, and very meaningful. Therefore, in my spare time, I enjoy practicing martial arts and studying traditional Chinese medicine..."
Chen Feng continued to explain earnestly. kuAiδugg
Wang Ziwei didn't press further.
She hadn't known Chen Feng for just a day or two. She was well aware of how terrifyingly gifted Chen Feng was.
Perhaps, Chen Feng, with his self-taught traditional Chinese medicine, could cure Grandma's illness.
Thus, Wang Ziwei immediately took Chen Feng back to the Wang family villa in the capital.
When they arrived at Grandma's room, they happened to see a doctor coming out.
Wang Ziwei asked a few questions and found out that the Wang family in the capital had consulted many renowned doctors during this period, but none of them were traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.
Upon inquiry, she learned that the Wang family of the capital did not trust traditional Chinese medicine, considering it a form of deception.
"Grandma, how are you feeling?"
Wang Ziwei stopped thinking and first inquired about Grandma's condition.
"Everything else is fine, but my legs are weak, and I can't get out of bed. I've seen countless doctors, and not a single one could offer a clear explanation. It seems Grandma will spend her remaining years in bed."
Wang Ziwei's Grandma sighed in response.
"Grandma, medical science is so advanced now, and the Wang family is a prominent family in the capital. You don't need to worry at all."
Wang Ziwei comforted Grandma.
"It's no use. I thought so at first too. But a month has passed, all the divine physicians in the capital have been consulted, and they don't even know the cause of the illness, so how can they treat it? Forget it, Grandma accepts her fate."
Wang Ziwei's Grandma continued to sigh.
"Grandma, I just asked, and although many renowned doctors were consulted this past month, they were all Western medicine practitioners, not a single traditional Chinese medicine doctor. My point is, if Western medicine is ineffective, let's try traditional Chinese medicine."
Wang Ziwei seized the opportunity to say.
"Try traditional Chinese medicine?"
Wang Ziwei's Grandma paused for a moment.
"Yes, since Western medicine is not working, why not try traditional Chinese medicine?"
Wang Ziwei explained.
"Forget it, this traditional Chinese medicine stuff is all just vague trickery, a scam to make money."
Wang Ziwei's Grandma replied after a brief thought.
"Grandma, you're Chinese, why do you look down on China's excellent traditional culture so much?"
Wang Ziwei said softly.
"Ziwei, you still lack experience. Grandma has lived for so many years and has always used Western medicine since childhood. As long as it's not a terminal illness, Western medicine can treat it very well. Conversely, traditional Chinese medicine is basically a骗人的 (a lie). You want me to try traditional Chinese medicine? Forget it, I'll just lie in bed honestly."
Wang Ziwei's Grandma explained.
"Grandma, both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine have their deceptions. You can't just call traditional Chinese medicine a fraud. Any medical practice has both swindlers and legitimate practitioners. To be honest, my boyfriend Chen Feng is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner..."
Wang Ziwei said tentatively.
"What? Your boyfriend is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner? Such a young man, can he be a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner? I heard others say that traditional Chinese medicine practitioners are all old men?"
Wang Ziwei's Grandma looked at Chen Feng with great interest.
"Grandma, you are not mistaken. Most traditional Chinese medicine practitioners are indeed old men, because traditional Chinese medicine is profound and requires time for precipitation. However, there are exceptions. For those with innate talent in traditional Chinese medicine, the required time can be significantly compressed."
Wang Ziwei explained.
"According to you, Chen Feng is a talented traditional Chinese medicine practitioner? How is that possible? Isn't Chen Feng a low-level political staffer? When did he change careers?"
Wang Ziwei's Grandma questioned with disbelief.
"Grandma, Chen Feng is currently the Director of the Development and Reform Commission of Mingshan District. He is indeed a grassroots political staffer. However, that doesn't prevent Chen Feng from studying traditional Chinese medicine in his spare time."
"What? Chen Feng studies traditional Chinese medicine in his spare time? That's even more preposterous. Even legitimate traditional Chinese medicine practitioners are ineffective, let alone someone who studies it in their spare time."
Wang Ziwei's Grandma replied with annoyance.
"Grandma, traditional Chinese medicine is profound and vast; it's difficult to explain in a few words. How about this, we don't need to argue. Let's let the facts speak for themselves, shall we? Let Chen Feng try to treat your strange condition of weak and numb legs with traditional Chinese medicine. If it's cured, then there's nothing more to debate, right?"
Wang Ziwei suggested earnestly.
"No, Chen Feng is not a legitimate doctor. How can Grandma risk letting him treat me? It's indeed uncomfortable lying in bed, but losing my life would be far more terrifying!"
Wang Ziwei's Grandma refused flatly.
"Grandma, don't be afraid. I'll just take a look at your tongue coating and pulse. It won't cause you any harm."
Chen Feng, standing nearby, quickly added.
"That won't do either. Just looking at the tongue coating and pulse to treat my strange illness, isn't that just a trick to deceive people?"
Wang Ziwei's Grandma still refused.
