Chapter Fifty-Four: Entering Chu Family Village

  Everyone present was not stupid, Yan Tianzhi had been sleeping in the hospital for almost a year without any improvement. Chu Jiaqiang casually pushed and grasped for over ten minutes, and the legs that had been asleep for nearly a year began to respond, showing off Chu Jiaqiang's exceptional medical skills, which was also their first experience with the terror of traditional Chinese medicine.

  Xu Xiucalmed down and looked at Chu Jiaqiang with a changed gaze, she knew that this might be the only chance for her husband to recover, so she asked Chu Jiaqiang for help no matter what.

  "What should we do next?" asked Xiu.

  The Yan family stared intently at Chu Jiaqiang. After a moment of contemplation, Chu Jiaqiang said: "Uncle Yan's illness requires consistent treatment using the method I used earlier, combined with Chinese medicine, to gradually recover. It may take around two or three months. Although I'm also from Gaosheng City, my home is quite far away, so it's not possible for me to come out every day. How about this? Uncle Yan can temporarily move in with me, making it convenient for me to treat him, and you can send someone over to help take care of him."

  Others nodded when they heard it, now there's nothing else to be done.

  Yan Tianzhi thought of a question that was now quite difficult for him to ask: "Xiao Chu, how much should I prepare for my medical expenses?"

  The others in the Yan family heard this and felt a wave of tension, their eyes falling on Chu Jianrong once again. Now they had nothing but this house, with hardly any money left.

  Chu's family shook his head: "I'm not a formal doctor, how can I charge you? How about this? You solve the medicine fee. Actually, it doesn't cost much, the Chinese herbal medicines are not expensive, and they can be found on the mountain in my hometown, but I don't have the energy to go pick them up. In the early stage, it's just over 10 yuan a day! Later, you won't need that much, one or two hundred yuan a week is enough, the whole process will cost around 1,000 to 2,000 yuan!"

  The Chu family is powerful and probably knows their situation, so they won't take advantage of them. Moreover, there's the identity of Yan Ruyu as his junior sister, who dares to charge a fee? Besides, this is already the fourth time he has helped someone with an illness, after all, it's just that his experience is too shallow.

  Others let out a sigh of relief, and Yan Lao almost knelt down to thank Chu Jiaqiang repeatedly.

  "No need to be polite! Didn't I say it before? Meeting each other is already a fate! Besides, Xiaoyu is still a fellow disciple and sister, how can I not help her? If Master Gu finds out, he'll really scold me to death. Ah, Uncle Yan, I want to ask you something." Chu Jiaqiang supported the old man, not letting him kneel down.

  Xu Xiu suddenly looked at her daughter and found that her daughter's gaze was somewhat unusual. She was also one of the people who had walked over, how could she not know this kind of gaze? It was clearly the gaze of someone in the early stages of infatuation. She then looked at Chu Jiaqiang again, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became. Although he was a few years older than her daughter, this age gap was very normal in today's society.

  Yan Tianzhi was taken aback, and then his whole face relaxed, vaguely finding that he could do something now, which made him very happy, at least not making him feel like a parasite who couldn't do anything.

  "Alright! Little Chu, you said it, I knew but didn't say."

  "I heard that Uncle Yan used to be in the lumber business, I'd like to ask you about wooden boards." Chu Jiaqiang brought up his requirements for the wooden boards.

  Yan Tianzhi smiled and said, "Little Chu doesn't have to worry, our Gaoshen City may be short of other resources, but it will never be wood. 40% of the wood in the entire province is provided by our city. Tell me where your hometown is, I'll provide a relatively close wood processing point, no need to run so far."

  Chu Jiaqiang suddenly found that he was indeed a bit dizzy, wanting to settle everything immediately. In fact, the wooden board doesn't need to be rushed now, and it's estimated that it won't be used until one or two months later.

  "I live in Heqian Town, have you heard of it, Uncle Yan?"

  "Hey, Heqian Town! It's a mountainous place, but the scenery is beautiful. I've been there before when collecting wood. Your town also has a wood processing factory, but the quality is average. The neighboring Zhutong Town has a large-scale wood processing point, which is among the top three in our city in terms of quality. You won't go wrong no matter where you go." Yan Tianzhi seemed to be familiar with the entire mountainous area of the city.

  Yan Tianzhi also told Chu Jiaqiang that the thickness of wood he wanted was generally not available off-the-shelf and had to be ordered in advance.

  Because of Yan's family's strong persuasion, Chu Jiaqiang had no choice but to stay overnight and, of course, notify his second uncle.

  The next day, after breakfast, Xu Xiu began to pack her things and prepare to go back with Chu Jiaqiang. After thinking about it overnight and discussing it with Yan Lao, she decided to follow him to take care of him, and temporarily let Yan Lao take care of the house. Yan Lao agreed without hesitation, as this was not a big deal, and his son's recovery was the top priority. The grandchildren in the family had all grown up and didn't need to be taken care of anyway.

  Back in Heqian Town, considering Yan Tianzhi's situation, it was impossible to ride a motorcycle. Chu Jiaqiang simply called out Chu Shengyi and asked him to put a long bench at the back of the car that could be laid down.

  Xu Xiu bought a thick quilt in the town, put it on the long bench, and then Chu Jiaqiang and Chu Shengyi moved Yan Tianzhi to the back of the car together. Xu Xiu also stayed behind to take care of him.

  Back to the car, Chu Shengyi smiled wryly: "How did you bring back a patient? Don't think about opening a clinic at home? By the way, is your medical skill okay? This thing is not a joke, it's very serious if someone dies." As he spoke, Chu Shengyi's tone became more and more serious.

  "Haha! Shengyi Uncle, you also know that I used to learn a few tricks from the old Taoist priest. I don't dare guarantee it, but there's still a 60-70% chance of success, at least it won't worsen the condition. And do you think I want to get involved in this kind of trouble?! Their daughter is a student of one of my benefactors, how can I stay out of it?" Chu Jiaqiang said helplessly.

  Chu Shengyi nodded: "That's right, anyway you little devil be careful with the medicine, don't cause any loss of life."

  Back at the Chu family village, Chu Jiaxiong happened to meet him and directly carried Yan Tianzhi to the old house of Chu Jiaqiang. The news that Chu Jiaqiang brought back a patient spread like wildfire in the village. Everyone didn't know what to say about Chu Jiaqiang, this guy always did something unexpected.

  Chu Jiaqiang arranged a wing room for Yan Tianzhi to stay in.

  "The house is a bit old and worn out, Uncle Yan, you've been living here for one or two months now."

  Xu Xiu and Yan Tianzhi shook their heads, the environment here made them very satisfied. Outside, the mountains were clear and the water was beautiful, the house had a bit of history on the outside, but the interior decoration dazzled them.

  "This environment is great, when I was young, I even lived in a more difficult environment." Yan Tianzhi felt much more relaxed since he entered the Chu family village. The local customs here are also simple and honest, as can be seen from everyone's enthusiasm to help just now.

  Because Chu Jiaqiang refused to pay rent and board, Xu Xiu had no choice but to say: "Jiaqiang, let's do it this way! For the time being, I'll help you clean the house and take care of household chores. Otherwise, if you just freeload and live here for free, how can we bear it?"

  Chu Jiaqiang thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, thinking it was also good this way.

  Then Xu Xiu let Chu Jiaqiang hurry up to buy back salt, oil, rice, vinegar and so on. As a result, Chu Jiaqiang went to the town again this time, he moved the refrigerator back, as well as many ice cream, popsicles and so on. Of course, there was also a TV, otherwise Yan Tianzhi's couple would be bored to death. This also made Chu Jiaqiang become the first family in Chujiazhuang Village to have a refrigerator, making many people envy.

  Go back and let Second Uncle know, he will definitely scold for a while. But now Chu Jiaqiang is also like a dead pig who doesn't fear being scalded by boiling water, what goes in one ear comes out the other!

  But Chu Jia Wan was delighted, she had only suggested it to her older brother at first, and didn't expect him to actually buy them. She gave each of the large group of kids a snow cone, which immediately raised her prestige among the children.
