Chapter 605 Call Me Martial Uncle
Hearing the cry, He Shuangshuang’s expression stiffened. She turned her head sharply towards the swaddled child, and the next moment, her eyeballs almost popped out.
How could this be?
Upon hearing the sound, Mr. Fang and Li Yuting’s bodies stiffened, and the next moment, tears welled up in their eyes!
The child in the swaddle was crying loudly, kicking its limbs wildly while lying on its back. The skin that had been like braised pork moments ago was now fair and tender.
Anyone who has had a child knows that the louder a baby cries, the healthier it is. Sometimes, if a baby doesn’t cry at birth, nurses will even pat it to make it cry.
The fact that this child was crying loudly now indicated not only its health but also that the high fever had not damaged its brain.
The surrounding crowd erupted in amazement, giving Chen Xuan a thumbs-up and praising him profusely, “Even Hua Tuo in his prime could not have done better!”
The praise was like a series of slaps to He Shuangshuang’s face.
In their excitement, Mr. Fang and Li Yuting did not forget to thank Chen Xuan repeatedly, “You are truly a divine doctor!”
Especially Mr. Fang, who was already filled with remorse, knelt before Chen Xuan with a thud and said with absolute certainty, “Mr. Chen, thank you. I will repay your kindness by being your ox or horse in my next life.”
“Save your gratitude. You should hurry and pay the wages owed to the farmers,” Chen Xuan said impassively, waving his hand.
Chen Xuan felt nothing from Mr. Fang’s thanks. As long as this fellow paid the farmers their wages, he would be happy.
“Mr. Chen, please rest assured. I will distribute the owed wages immediately after I return,” Mr. Fang said solemnly.
These were Mr. Fang’s heartfelt words.
He had a son, but the child had no anus. He had undergone surgery, but it was unsuccessful. Mr. Fang was a superstitious person who believed strongly in Feng Shui and metaphysics. He realized that this was divine retribution for his actions.
He would never dare to owe the farmers their wages again. Moreover, he planned to do more good deeds in the future to accumulate merit and ensure his son grew up safely.
“I hope you will do as you say,” Chen Xuan nodded lightly.
From Mr. Fang’s expression, Chen Xuan could tell that the man was truly frightened.
“Mr. Chen, this is two million for the medical fees.”
Mr. Fang was quite generous and immediately handed Chen Xuan a bank card.
Chen Xuan did not stand on ceremony. He glanced at Lu Jian, who quickly stepped forward to accept the bank card.
Looking at the bank card, Lu Jian’s eyes lit up.
The fees for treating one patient were enough for an average mid-tier medical clinic to operate for a year.
“Then we will take our leave.”
After repeatedly thanking him, Mr. Fang, holding his wife Li Yuting, turned to leave with a smile.
Chen Xuan’s heart stirred, and he suddenly said, “Wait a moment.”
“Mr. Chen, is there anything else?” Mr. Fang turned to look at Chen Xuan, his gaze questioning.
Chen Xuan sized up Mr. Fang and asked, “Are you in the engineering business?”
“Yes, Mr. Chen. Do you have any work for me? You don’t need to be polite; I’ll do it well even without payment!” Mr. Fang said with a hearty laugh.
Now that Chen Xuan had saved his child’s life and protected his only bloodline, he was the savior of the Fang family. Any previous resentment had long since vanished.
“Can you handle mountain modification projects?”
“Yes! I can build buildings and construct tunnels, so mountain modification is no problem,” Mr. Fang said confidently.
It had to be said, although Mr. Fang’s character was questionable, his business was substantial. Besides some state-owned enterprises in Jiangnan Province, his was one of the top construction companies, having completed many major projects.
“Then give me a business card. I’ll find you another day to discuss project matters,” Chen Xuan said.
To forge the dragon脉, mountain modifications would be necessary. Chen Xuan couldn’t possibly do it all by himself; otherwise, it would take him ages. Chen Xuan had just remembered that Mr. Fang was in engineering and should be capable of mountain modification work, which was why he had stopped Mr. Fang.
“Mr. Chen, you can just call me if you have anything.”
Mr. Fang left a business card for Chen Xuan and, with his wife Li Yuting, turned and left Ren Xin Medical Clinic.
“Mr. Chen, your medical skills are truly astonishing!”
“I am in awe! In awe!”
“Mr. Chen, at such a young age, to possess such medical skills is truly a model for us, an idol we admire!”
As soon as Mr. Fang and the others left, the doctors from Ren Xin Medical Clinic crowded around Chen Xuan, showering him with compliments.
Hearing the doctors from Ren Xin Medical Clinic praise Chen Xuan so highly felt grating to He Shuangshuang’s ears. She was so dejected she felt like dying.
What’s more, He Shuangshuang saw that Old Lu was also in the crowd, shamelessly fawning over Chen Xuan.
She stomped her foot in anger.
“He Shuangshuang, what do you think of my medical skills? Do you still want to report me to the authorities? Shall I accompany you?”
A moment later, Chen Xuan broke free from the crowd and looked at He Shuangshuang, a playful expression on his face.
“Report you? Report you for what?”
“If anyone reports you, I’ll be the first one to object!”
The doctors who had been flattering Chen Xuan immediately stepped forward to defend him, as if arresting Chen Xuan would be opposing them.
He Shuangshuang’s face immediately flushed red.
Feeling ashamed, she secretly gritted her teeth.
This guy was too shameless. He had just treated a patient, what was so great about that!
Old Lu said sternly, “Shuangshuang, why don’t you quickly apologize to Mr. Chen!”
“I’m sorry…”
He Shuangshuang glanced at Chen Xuan and, with a red face, apologized.
She had to admit that Chen Xuan had indeed cured the patient. This round, she conceded defeat.
Even though He Shuangshuang was unwilling to apologize to someone like Chen Xuan, she was a person who dared to act and dared to admit.
“That’s more like it.”
Chen Xuan nodded.
As a man, Chen Xuan did not want to trouble He Shuangshuang too much, considering she was a girl.
However, what Old Lu said next made He Shuangshuang’s expression turn extremely unpleasant.
Old Lu smiled and said, “Shuangshuang, let’s reintroduce ourselves. Strictly speaking, you should call Mr. Chen ‘Master’, but Mr. Chen dislikes it, so you can call Mr. Chen ‘Martial Uncle’.”
“Martial Uncle? Him? Strictly speaking?”
Upon hearing this, He Shuangshuang’s beautiful eyes widened instantly, and she stared at Chen Xuan in utter disbelief.
It sounded as if Old Lu wanted to become this guy’s disciple, but he refused.
Lu Jian quickly urged, “Yes, Martial Sister, quickly call him Martial Uncle! You won’t get this chance again.”
He Shuangshuang’s face darkened.
Calling a young man of similar age as herself "Martial Uncle" made her feel as though she was gaining a great advantage.
“Hurry up!” Old Lu’s face also turned stern, his voice chilling.
He Shuangshuang’s mind raced, and she looked at Chen Xuan, saying, “I can call you Martial Uncle, but you have to tell me what willow bark is used for!”
This was a question that had long puzzled He Shuangshuang.
Lu Jian also quickly looked over, perking up his ears.
He didn’t know why either.
“It’s very simple. Didn’t I tell you before?” Chen Xuan stared at He Shuangshuang and said with a smile.
“Huh?”
He Shuangshuang looked confused, “Don’t talk nonsense. When did you say that?”
“Think carefully. Was it just now at the Su family’s?”
Chen Xuan reminded her.
He Shuangshuang suddenly remembered.
Earlier at the Su family’s, she had tested Chen Xuan on how to treat postoperative complications using Chinese medicine. Chen Xuan’s answer was that willow bark, combined with corresponding medicinal herbs and acupuncture, would be used.
Wasn’t that child suffering from postoperative complications?
