PFC Chapter 75 Auspicious Sign!
Chapter 75 Auspicious Sign!
I'm not about to let go of the person I've finally got my hands on.
Upon hearing Qiu Huilan's words, the surrounding interns immediately smiled and agreed, then repeatedly thanked Jiang Qin, sincerely giving her a "good person" card.
In this situation, if Jiang Qin were to refuse again, it would be an overreaction and a blatant attempt to cover up the truth. Most importantly, it was the old lady who spoke first; if she were to simply refuse, the old lady would likely have much to think about.
But what's the difference between simply extending your hand and offering yourself up for death?
Just as the leading intern was about to shake her hand, Jiang Qin raised her hand to cover her mouth, frowned, turned around, bent over, and coughed twice.
On the other side of the old lady, Huo Sili's gaze fell on Jiang Qin at almost the same time. He took out a thermos from his handbag and handed it to her.
Jiang Qin straightened up and glanced at the old lady walking between the two of them, finally getting the item into her hands.
The three of them were standing at the gate, and the autumn wind in Kyoto was indeed strong.
The fact that she took the initiative to bring a group of interns over to talk to Jiang Qin shows that the young woman is naturally good at interpersonal relationships.
Seeing this, he quickly said to the three of them, "Miss, handsome, grandma, let's come inside, it's windy at the door, let's sit in the waiting area for the young lady."
He added, "It'll be done in a moment, thank you for your trouble."
Qiu Huilan gently patted Jiang Qin's back. This time, she didn't say it wouldn't be troublesome, because it really was a bit of a hassle.
After hearing this, Jiang Qin silently walked towards the waiting area with her thermos.
As they walked, they intentionally headed towards the waiting area outside Dr. Wu's clinic. They stopped naturally in an open space, first offering Qiu Huilan a seat, then sitting down next to her and taking a sip of water from their thermos.
Huo Sili's gaze fell upon her, and Jiang Qin twisted the thermos cup shut and handed it over, then looked at the interns who had followed behind.
Apart from the young intern who was leading the group, the other more shy girls followed behind at a distance.
Seeing her sit down, he quickened his pace and came over.
When you're out and about, you can't smile too much, or you'll easily be taken advantage of.
This is a lesson Jiang Qin has come to understand over the years.
Therefore, after she sat down, her expression remained indifferent. Seeing that no one had come over yet, she looked at the person in the lead with questioning eyes.
The young girl glanced back, looking a little embarrassed, but quickly smiled and sat down next to Jiang Qin.
"Okay, I'll go first."
Then he said to Jiang Qin, "Miss, let's start with the left hand."
Jiang Qin didn't say anything, but simply rolled up her sleeves to cooperate. As soon as she did, the girl's expression froze for a moment.
Jiang Qin's wrist wound from the last time she cut herself still had some scabs that hadn't fallen off, and when she lifted her sleeve, a distinct medicinal fragrance wafted out again.
Several interns around noticed this and their expressions changed instantly. Some winked at their companions, glanced at Huo Sili, and quickly typed on their phones to communicate.
Qiu Huilan naturally noticed the situation in Jiang Qin's hands, and her expression immediately turned sour as she glanced sideways at her grandson beside her.
Huo Sili's gaze fell on Jiang Qin's wrist, his lips pressed tightly together.
Before long, Jiang Qin switched to her right hand to take the little girl's pulse.
After Jiang Qin finished examining both hands, Qiu Huilan noticed and looked at the little girl.
The little girl looked at Jiang Qin, then at Jiang Qin's hand, and smiled as she looked at Qiu Huilan.
"My medical skills are not very good. I feel that I am just a little weak. I need to pay more attention to rest, think less, and take medicine to regulate my body so that it won't be too serious."
Qiu Huilan sorted it out: "So there's nothing seriously wrong?"
The little girl smiled and replied, "Yes, you're quite healthy, but now that the weather is cold, please take care to keep warm; it's good for your health."
At this point, someone volunteered.
"I'd like to try it too."
Jiang Qin glanced over and saw that it was also a girl. The young girl who had taken her pulse earlier stood up to give up her seat.
Jiang Qin pretended not to care about the others' actions, stretched out her left hand, pressed her right hand to open her phone and glanced at it, raising an eyebrow slightly.
He glanced at the female intern who had come over and sat down, then scanned the few people standing around him.
He said in a very calm tone, "Our appointment time is almost up, so we'll stop after this."
These interns were all students from a nearby medical school. They weren't unreasonable people, so they naturally understood what Jiang Qin said and agreed.
The intern who sat down began to take Jiang Qin's pulse.
As he held it, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The little girl walked up to the other person and was about to say something when two words slipped out of her mouth.
"Pregnancy!"
Jiang Qin forced herself to calm down, raising an eyebrow slightly.
At the same time, Huo Sili's eyes darkened, and his gaze suddenly fell on Jiang Qin.
The old lady, Qiu Huilan, widened her eyes, wondering if she was hallucinating, and her expression clearly showed some joy.
The girl who took Jiang Qin's pulse had bright, clear eyes. As she spoke, she excitedly looked at the girl next to her who had just taken Jiang Qin's pulse and asked in a loud voice.
"Yinyin, is it right? I was right, wasn't I? It's a pregnancy pulse!"
The little girl named Yinyin quickly glanced at the ceiling before her gaze fell on the girl who had asked the question.
He said firmly, "You must be mistaken."
The girl who was refuted frowned. "No way, it's clearly a pregnancy sign."
The two were about to argue when Horst, who had been silent until now, spoke up, "Who is the best doctor here?"
The interns almost unanimously said—
"Dr. Wu!"
Someone added, "Old Wu's medical skills are the most outstanding; many people come from far and wide to seek his medical treatment."
Huo Sili suddenly stood up and glanced at Jiang Qin.
"Then let's take Grandma to see the doctor, and then take Qinqin to see Dr. Wu."
Then he looked at the old lady and said, "Alright, Grandma, it's time for our appointment. Let's see the doctor first."
Jiang Qin helped the old lady up. Qiu Huilan opened her mouth, clearly wanting to ask something, but Jiang Qin spoke first, which was unusual for her.
"Grandma, I'm not pregnant. I even had my period a while ago. Sili knows that."
Jiang Qin's voice was unusually calm and firm, with a moderate volume.
Several interns nearby heard this. The girl who had said Jiang Qin's pulse indicated pregnancy frowned upon hearing this, clearly wanting to say something more.
The little girl named Yinyin nudged the other person with her elbow, then took their arm and strode toward the door.
Huo Sili, Jiang Qin, and the old lady walked in the opposite direction, so they naturally didn't see the interaction between the two interns behind them.
Fortunately, she didn't see it, otherwise Jiang Qin felt that the pressure on her heart today would have been too great.
However, after she said this, the old lady looked at her kindly, opened her mouth as if to say something, but then changed her words.
"Okay, but let's see Dr. Wu first."
Since the old lady had spoken, Jiang Qin naturally couldn't refute her.
Old Wu had been a doctor for decades and had seen a lot of human relationships, Jiang Qin thought, but she was still worried.
However, Jiang Qin has learned all too well in the past two years the importance of not losing one's composure when facing a battle.
She forced herself to calm down and replied with a sweet smile, "Okay, I'll do whatever Grandma says."
……
As Horstley had previously instructed, the two entered the examination room and accompanied the elderly woman for her treatment.
Then I saw the old doctor nodding repeatedly. When I asked, it was good news: the symptoms after the relapse were considered moderate, and acupuncture combined with adjustments to my work and rest schedule and diet could cure it completely.
When the old lady came out, she felt that the world had opened up before her.
It turns out that without all those complicated tests, her illness could be diagnosed simply by taking her pulse and looking at her tongue and eyes.
If she had known that this place existed in Kyoto, she would never have agreed to undergo those examinations. The first treatment was ineffective, and the symptoms kept recurring. Just thinking about it now, let alone the time she was undergoing the examinations, makes her feel miserable.
However, compared to the good news that his condition could be cured by acupuncture...
Undoubtedly, the question of whether her granddaughter-in-law was pregnant or not excited and anticipated her even more.
Qiu Huilan is someone who has been through it all. In those days, medical conditions were underdeveloped, and people of her generation generally preferred sons to daughters. Women suffered a lot during pregnancy and childbirth on their own.
Forget about seeing a doctor, people will think you're being nosy if you even mention it.
But the sisters would talk about their experiences, and she learned that some women may experience slight bleeding in early pregnancy, which is a normal physiological phenomenon, but some may mistake it for their period.
Of course, if the bleeding is not during menstruation, but occurs some time after intercourse, and the amount of bleeding is significantly abnormal, it is highly likely to be a threatened miscarriage, which is a serious situation.
But she wasn't a professional doctor and couldn't guarantee what her granddaughter-in-law's condition was, which is why she said earlier that Jiang Qin should see a doctor.
At this moment, after registering on the spot, I was called to the consultation room.
In front of the old lady, Huo Sili took Jiang Qin's hand and pushed open the door to Old Wu's clinic.
