Chapter 439: Chapter 439
Xiao Cheng’s condition is getting better day by day.
Xu Mengxin has completely relaxed.
Initially, she was really worried that Jiang Xiaoxiao’s traditional remedy might not be helpful for her child’s heart condition.
However, after drinking the medicine regularly every day, she found that her son’s condition was improving more and more.
A month later, Mr. Feng conducted a comprehensive examination.
The surprising answer was that this traditional remedy was indeed effective for the child’s heart condition.
Currently, the abnormal membrane on the child’s heart is showing strange changes, and it’s surprisingly developing in the best direction possible. According to Mr. Feng, since the child is still young, his heart may actually undergo secondary development under the stimulation of this remedy.
The heart truly showed signs of improvement.
What’s most surprising is that in just a month, Xiao Cheng can now walk several rounds in the little garden downstairs.
Xu Meng was absolutely delighted and was currently discussing it with Wu Pingjing.
"Doctor Jiang’s medicine is truly effective. Mr. Feng said it’s definitely a medical miracle. He also mentioned that the ancients actually had many excellent ancient remedies! People back then had heart diseases too, but without Western surgical treatments, many of them lived long lives—that was the profoundness of ancient medical technology.
If it weren’t for encountering such an opportunity and Doctor Jiang, Xiao Cheng would perhaps have continued to suffer greatly."
Wu Pingjing himself hadn’t expected it to actually work.
The effect visible within a month.
He himself is a doctor and couldn’t help but admire it.
"I didn’t expect Doctor Jiang’s traditional remedy to be this powerful. Considering that, when they initially asked for that house, it wasn’t excessive. Shouldn’t we prepare some other reward for Doctor Jiang as well? Even performing a heart surgery wouldn’t be worth the value of that house."
Xu Meng was also thinking about it.
"I’ve been thinking the same. But I haven’t figured out what to prepare for Doctor Jiang yet. Back then, they already asked for a storefront. Besides, what to give won’t ever match up, given that the Song family has everything."
Jiang Xiaoxiao married into the Song family; how could they neglect their own people?
Especially since they’ve already inquired and found that Old Mrs. Song treats her grandson, Song Moting, as a precious treasure. Jiang Xiaoxiao married Song Moting, so she would naturally be treated very well by extension.
It’s heard that Jiang Xiaoxiao and Song Moting have already moved into the old couple’s house, a treatment that other Song family descendants don’t have.
The couple was worried.
Just at this moment, someone knocked on the door.
"Sister-in-law, it’s your call!"
Wu Pingxuan and her husband were already preparing to leave.
Based on their annual timeline, this couple should return to work.
These last couple of days, the old lady is busy helping them prepare, after all, her own daughter married far away; how could she not be concerned?
Xu Meng went downstairs, Wu Pingxuan was nestled on the sofa, watching TV.
Meng Ran was peeling an apple for Wu Pingxuan.
Xu Meng picked up the phone.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Ningshan! What? Really? Your wife is pregnant? When did this happen? This is wonderful news, you finally became a dad, congratulations."
Wu Pingxuan perked her ears.
The Ningshan she met before?
Meng Ran looked at his wife, who was staring blankly, and put the apple in her hand, "Why are you daydreaming?"
Wu Pingxuan raised her finger, "Shh!"
"What does Doctor Jiang like? I honestly don’t know. You’ve really stumped me, but let me tell you, Doctor Jiang has a storefront ready to open a hospital in the future. You, however, run a medical equipment company.
Estimating in terms of these apparatuses, it might be your area of expertise; if you communicate with Doctor Jiang on this, it could perhaps appeal to him."
Xu Meng felt a little regretful for saying everything; they were still planning to brainstorm over this.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Meng smiled.
Ningshan is already over fifty, and these years spent a lot of money seeking remedies for children. Yet, they never had a child; now his wife, who is over forty, managed to become pregnant.
It surely is a case of a late bloomer.
Couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret as she looked up into her sister-in-law’s gaze, actually meant for the sister-in-law.
If Wu Pingxuan hadn’t been so arrogant and suspicious, and if she had taken that medicine that day, she might have had a child now.
The gaze fell upon her sister-in-law’s belly.
Considering her temper, she really offended Doctor Jiang.
She was ready to head upstairs.
Wu Pingxuan hurriedly stopped the sister-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, the Ningshan in the call just now—isn’t he the one we went to see Doctor Jiang with that day? His wife is pregnant?"
They’ve spent so many years trying for a child.
She heard quite a lot of complaints from Ningshan that day, about all his efforts to have a child over the years being more intense than their attempts.
Xu Meng nodded, "It’s the Ningshan you saw that day. His wife just discovered today she’s pregnant for one and a half months, and it’s been revealed to be twins. The couple is thrilled, which is why he called me to ask what Doctor Jiang likes and needs the most.
Doctor Jiang refused to accept any reward, saying it’s up to them, but he feels it’s inappropriate; such matters can’t be taken lightly. Gifts should warm the recipient’s heart. He sought my advice."
Xu Meng was deliberate; this sister-in-law constantly described Doctor Jiang as a charlatan, deriding his ancestral remedy as deceitful; now she got her comeuppance.
If, that day, her attitude had been slightly better and she drank that medicine, she would have a child now.
But not Wu Pingxuan, she returned home and made a fuss, blocking her from treating Xiao Cheng.
If she had listened to the sister-in-law, Xiao Cheng’s situation wouldn’t be certain now!
Surely, heart transplant surgeries can succeed; they can surely fail too.
Now her son’s condition improves daily, and Ningshan has children now.
This indeed is a big slap in the face.
Meng Ran suddenly stood; earlier he didn’t know why his wife was zoning out, but now he understood.
The Ningshan who went to seek remedies with them that day, well, his wife is already pregnant, and twins too. Doctor Jiang specifically said that in over a month, there’d be news.
Meng Ran eagerly grabbed Xu Meng’s arm.
"Sister-in-law, you are truly my dear sister-in-law. You’ve seen, over these two years, Xuanxuan and I have run all over seeking children, through bitter times and all kinds of medicines. Truly, what we did that day was wrong; please, find a way, help us, speak a couple of kind words to Doctor Jiang."
Xu Meng discontentedly pushed his hand away.
"Brother-in-law, you shouldn’t do this, ought I not know my sister’s temper? At the moment when everyone stands in front of Doctor Jiang, she could pounce with the luck of a blind cat catching a dead mouse. Or whatever face we might have.
Doctor Jiang is human too; if Doctor Jiang was made of clay, it wouldn’t mean they’d have no temper, and don’t you forget she’s the Song family’s granddaughter-in-law whose treating my son. I wouldn’t risk offending Doctor Jiang.
Thus, whatever you two might want to fuss about, do it yourselves. I’ve already lost enough face, no longer have the guts to say good things for you before Doctor Jiang."
That truly felt satisfying.
