Chapter 53: The Yan Family

  Seeing Chu's strength, Yan Ruyu thought of a scene in the teacher's dormitory and blushed again.

  "Chu Xuechang, I've kept you waiting for a long time." Yan Ruyu said with embarrassment.

  "No! I also had something to attend to at 5:30, let's go! It's getting late." Chu Jiaqiang didn't have any wild thoughts, he looked at the time and thought that it would be very late when they got back today.

  Because Chu Jiaqiang was in a hurry, he hailed a motorcycle. Chu Jiaqiang sat in the front and Yan Ruyu sat behind him. This scene was seen by many people, and Yan Ruyu's reputation within the school was not small either. The top-ranked school flower was now leaving with a man on the same vehicle, instantly causing a lot of speculation and rumors.

  Chu Jiaqiang asked the driver to stop the car on the road and bought some fruit.

  Yan Ruyu's family lives in Yixiang Garden, which is considered a relatively high-end residential building. This makes Chu Jiaqiang somewhat surprised. It seems that this girl had a good family background before! Unfortunately, she got involved in this matter, otherwise, she would have been a little princess too.

  "Chu big brother, don't guess anymore. That was in the past. Now we're even going to sell the house." Yan Ruyu felt a pang of sadness in her heart. Originally, it was a good family, but now it had been reduced to such a sorry state.

  "Chu Big Brother" was what Chu Jiaqiang asked Yan Ruyu to call him, but the title made Chu Jiaqiang feel a bit uneasy.

  "What did your dad used to do?" Chu Jiaqiang couldn't help but ask.

  "The timber business is small but it's enough to make a living, now..." As she spoke, the little girl's eyes began to redden.

  "Cough, cough! Don't cry! Later your family will think I bullied you, that would be troublesome. Everything will slowly get better, don't think too much, just focus on studying." Chu Jiaqiang became somewhat flustered.

  However, when Yan Ruyu mentioned wood, he immediately remembered that he needed to prepare a batch of thick wooden boards.

  Chu Jiaqiang's words made Yan Ruyi recall that scene again, and her face turned red once more.

  She walked up to a three-story building and didn't use her key to open the door. She knew that everyone in her family was definitely at home now, so she shouted inside.

  The door opened quickly and a beautiful woman came out. She looked a bit like Yan Ruyu, but her spirit didn't seem very good.

  "Has Xiaoyu come back? And who is this..." She saw Chu Jiaqiang and immediately furrowed her brow, thinking he was her daughter's boyfriend, and couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed. Things were already frustrating enough at home, and now her daughter had gone and gotten herself a boyfriend instead of focusing on her studies.

  "Mom! This is my senior, Chu Jiaqiang. He graduated from university and came to visit Mr. Gu today. I met him at the hospital, so I asked him to come back and take a look at Dad." Yan Ruyu saw her mother's expression and immediately knew she had misunderstood, so she quickly clarified their relationship.

  Chu's family was slightly smiling: "Auntie, hello! I came to see Uncle Yan, sorry for the disturbance."

  At this time, Yan Ruyu's mother, Xu Xiucan, relaxed her face, let out a sigh of relief. Although she didn't quite believe in Chu Jiaqiang's medical skills, the other party had good intentions and it was also her daughter's wish, so she warmly invited Chu Jiaqiang to come in.

  Yan Ruyu's family has five people, including her parents and a younger brother, as well as a grandfather.

  Xu Xiu used to not work and just take care of the house, but after this thing happened, the family's savings were almost depleted. She had no choice but to try to find a job outside, but it was really hard to find one within Gaoxin City. If she went out of Gaoxin City, her family would be left unattended. There were some casual jobs available, but the pay was very low and the work was quite tiring. It was uncertain whether she could support her family or not.

  Yan Ruyu's younger brother Yan Ruguo is also in high school, but not as good as Yan Ruyu, and can't get into the Education City to study. In the past, his family would have spent money to buy him a spot, with tuition fees of over 10,000 yuan, but that's no longer possible now.

  Yan Ruyu's grandfather, Yan Hui Xian, looked older. Yan Ruyu told him that since his father, Yan Tianzhi, had an accident, his grandfather had been getting older by the day.

  As I walked into the house, a strong medicinal smell hit me in the face.

  "This medicine is quite effective, it really works for paralysis patients." Chu Jiaqiang said suddenly.

  Xu Xiuyi suddenly looked at Chu Jiaqiang: "Can Little Chu smell this Chinese medicine?"

  Chu Jiaqiang smiled: "If it's Western medicine, I definitely can't smell it out, but this is Chinese medicine, and I still recognize it. Sheng Huangshi, Dangguiwei, Chishao, Taoren, Honghua... hmm! It should be just these few, right?"

  As soon as this was said, Xu Xiu couldn't help but look at Chu Jiaqiang with a few more eyes, it turned out that he really had some skills, and now Xu Xiu truly began to take Chu Jiaqiang seriously.

  "Xiao Chu is still young, but his medical skills are quite impressive!" Yan Lao also looked at Chu Jiaqiang with surprise.

  "Yan Lao has been rewarded, let's take a look at Yan Shu's situation first!" Chu Jiaqiang followed Xu Xiu into a room, and the people behind him also followed.

  Yan Rugui's eyes gazed at Chu Jiaqiang with a strange expression, his gaze darting back and forth between Chu Jiaqiang and his own sister. Yan Ruyu couldn't take it anymore, glaring fiercely at her brother, who then withdrew his gaze, smiling awkwardly.

  Seeing the man on the bed, Chu Jiaqiang slightly frowned. The man was very weak and seemed to have been tortured by this illness. Because there was no money to pay the fee, he was driven out of the hospital. Having no choice, he could only go home to recuperate for now.

  Yan Tianzhi saw a stranger walk in and looked at Chu Jiaqiang with suspicion.

  Xu Xiu explained for a while, and Yan Tianzhi smiled slightly at Chu Jiaqiang: "That's troubling Little Chu, thank you for your kindness no matter what the outcome is."

  "Uncle Yan, no need to be polite, meeting each other is already a fate! Do your best! Uncle Yan's paralysis condition isn't too severe, but it's not easy to cure either. Even if there's a way, it won't be resolved in just one or two days. Uncle Yan needs to prepare himself mentally for this." Chu Jiaqiang observed Yan Tianzhi for a while and found that he was only paralyzed from the waist down. Fortunately, the previous hospital treatment had prevented the condition from worsening, and his mental state was still relatively optimistic. Overall, the situation wasn't too bad.

  Yan Tianzhi nodded, he didn't have much hope either. After all, he himself also understood that paralysis was related to nerve problems, and the human body's nerves were very complex. At present, human technology is not capable of repairing nerves, so there is almost no possibility of a cure.

  Seeing Yan Tianzhi's nonchalant expression, Chu Jiaqiang also knew what was on his mind. This kind of psychology that doesn't hold out any hope has its good side, but also its bad influence.

  To give him a glimmer of hope, Chu Jiaqiang decided to use his true energy to temporarily unblock and repair the meridians, allowing him to feel the existence of his lower limbs in an extremely short period of time.

  Chu Jiaqiang walked over, lifted the quilt: "I'll give Uncle Yan a massage for a while. If you feel anything, tell me, so I can know if there's any possibility of treatment. This massage technique can temporarily stimulate your nerves. If there's a reaction, it means there's still a chance of recovery. If not, then it's hard to say."

  Everyone else looked at Yan Tianzhi with tension, but the person involved just smiled and let it go.

  Chu Jiaqiang started from Yan Tianzhi's waist, pushing and grasping downwards, repeatedly at the edge of paralysis. Chu Jiaqiang didn't care about the nerve problem, that was a problem for Western medicine to study, in traditional Chinese medicine there were only meridians and collaterals. Yan Tianzhi's problem was a problem of meridian rupture, although Chu Jiaqiang couldn't repair the complex Qi Jing Ba Mai all at once, temporarily connecting them wasn't a problem.

  Yan Ruyu and others saw that Chu Jiaqiang's forehead was sweating, his face turned white, and he seemed to be using a lot of force to push and pull, but in fact, he didn't seem to be using much effort at all! They were all very puzzled, but no one spoke up, afraid of disturbing Chu Jiaqiang's treatment.

  More than ten minutes passed, Chu Jiaqiang withdrew his hand and saw that Yan Tianzhi did not make a sound. He was very puzzled in his heart. Was this really going to start from the nerves of Western medicine? Can't meridians solve the problem?

  "Uncle Yan? Don't you feel anything?" Chu Jiaqiang couldn't help but ask.

  Everyone stared at him, Yan Tianzhi shook his head: "No feeling, it's numb!"

  Others couldn't help but show their envy, while Chu Jiaqiang burst out laughing, leaving everyone else bewildered.

  "Haha! Isn't numbness just one of the feelings? Uncle Yan, your legs haven't moved for so long, it's strange if they're not numb! Since there's feeling, that's easier to deal with." Chu Jiaqiang explained.

  Others were stunned, although excited to the point of speechlessness. Except for Chu Jiaqiang and Yan Rujin, as well as Yan Tianzhi, everyone else unknowingly shed tears. They had paid too much worry for this matter, now they finally have a harvest, no wonder they are in this state.

  "It's a feeling, yeah! Numbness is also a feeling, haha! My legs have sensation now." Yan Tianzhi was stunned for half a day and finally got excited. Who likes the feeling of being unable to move their lower body? Being unable to take care of oneself, seeing family members worrying about one's affairs every day, sometimes even having thoughts of ending one's life.

  "Don't get too excited yet! This only means that there's a possibility of treatment, but it's not a guarantee, and the process is quite long." Chu Jiaqiang said this to control Yan Tianzhi's emotions. Extreme emotions of great sorrow or joy are very bad for the body, so it's better to control them.

  This time, everyone finally calmed down.
