Chapter Ninety-six

  Ke Fangmengnan said: "Actually, Mr. Luoni is already fine now, it's up to you next, or how to take care of yourself."

  "Oh!" Ronny raised an eyebrow in surprise and stared at her. Jerry, Alex, Eric, and Eresa in the room also looked puzzled.

  Fang Mo Nan smiled and said: "Mr. Ronnie knows he's sick, but has he ever thought about why he got sick?"

  Roni shook his head, "When I found out I had this disease, to be honest, looking at people with the same symptoms and what they went through after treatment. I just thought about waiting for death, so I didn't do any treatment." Looking at those who have undergone chemotherapy, thinking about it now makes my scalp numb and terrified, suffering so much, only to die in the end.

  "Man has seven emotions and six desires. The seven emotions refer to the seven emotional activities of joy, anger, worry, thinking, sorrow, fear, and surprise. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is a physiological reaction of the human body to the external environment, and generally will not directly cause illness. However, if the emotional activity is intense, excessive, and exceeds the limit that the human body can bear, and persists without calming down, it will inevitably affect the function of the viscera and blood, leading to overall chaos in the viscera and blood. Anger hurts the liver, joy hurts the heart, thinking hurts the spleen, worry hurts the lungs, fear hurts the kidneys," etc., all illustrate that excessive emotional imbalance has a certain degree of damage to the body's qi and blood, as well as the viscera.

  Alex heard that anger hurts the liver and said, "My boss never gets angry."

  Ronnie waved his hand to stop Alex's interjection, and Fang Mornan said: "That would be even worse, anger hurts the liver, this is undeniable, but it is also natural to vent one's anger, bottling it up in your heart will make you feel more uncomfortable. In this regard, I believe everyone has more life experience. Combining these two points, it actually means: strive to cultivate yourself well, don't get angry easily, when you have anger, don't bottle it up in your heart, vent it out." Fang Mornan paused and continued: "To be healthy and long-lived, people with true inner cultivation can remain calm and composed even when faced with the most annoying things, never getting angry. Even filled with a faint joy. Those who can have such a mindset can truly achieve physical and mental well-being."

  Anger hurts the liver, still making the liver qi unable to be smooth and causing stagnation. Therefore, as long as there is anger, there will be stagnation, as long as there is stagnation, it will hurt the liver, resulting in liver qi stagnation.

  Roni nodded thoughtfully and faintly.

  "Cancer is not as severe or frightening as it seems, it's caused by blood stasis and internal toxins. It can be completely resolved with medication, no need for surgery. If you remove a tumor today, several more will grow tomorrow. Tumors are made of flesh and blood, they will regrow, they're not stones that can be simply removed. The root cause is still there, the blood flow is still blocked, no matter how many surgeries you have, tumors will continue to grow. Therefore, I advocate for no surgery, no injections, as long as you do good deeds and take medicine, even the largest tumor can be dissolved."

  "What is an external evil?"

  "The liver is the body's 'qi generator'. The so-called 'qi' refers to the vital energy that promotes growth and development. The liver is like an amplifier for all kinds of qi in the body, whether it's positive or negative. When the body is healthy, the liver's function of promoting growth helps to strengthen the positive qi, making it more abundant and vigorous. However, when the body has negative qi, the liver may assist its growth, leading to an increase in negative energy. This is why ancient people said that 'the liver is the thief of the five organs'. When there is negative qi in the five organs, the liver's qi can rush forward to help it, lending a hand. Anger is one of the biggest negative emotions, and it corresponds to the liver, making it easy for the liver to assist its growth. Once anger arises, it's hard to stop and will only intensify, becoming more and more fierce. That's why people call anger 'anger fire', as it burns like a fire, growing stronger with each passing moment. When it becomes too much, it leads to liver stagnation."

  "What can make you calm down?" Rony asked lightly. "Chinese is called calming down, right!" During the treatment, Rony had nothing to do and started learning Chinese, although it was very difficult, but also very interesting.

  "Mr. Rong has really grasped the key point, which is to calm down rather than suppress anger. Calming down means letting the anger dissipate naturally like a fire going out on its own, whereas suppressing anger might mean forcibly holding it back. Therefore, calming down does not harm the body, while suppressing anger is like wielding a deadly knife. One must cultivate their mind and spirit to truly calm down negative emotions and achieve genuine health and peace. So, when I get angry, I first need to have the skill of calming down, letting the raging fire slowly die out, and when it's almost gone, I can just let it all out, in accordance with the liver's tendency to vent and disperse, making all unpleasantness disappear into thin air. Of course, if one's spiritual cultivation reaches a higher level, they can achieve a state where they don't get angry even when encountering things, or if they do get slightly angry, they can completely let it out without accumulating it in their heart, that would be even better." Fang Mennan concluded " 'Excessive joy and anger is an illness' has a corresponding treatment: 'Cultivating a calm and peaceful mind is the medicine'".

  "Moreover, Mr. Rong must also pay attention to abstain from greasy food and meat, quit smoking and drinking, and be moderate in everything. In addition, he should do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and practice meditation on time. As people often say, 'doing one part of goodness reduces one part of illness; when virtues are full, illnesses will disappear, and the way to goodness is complete.'" said Fang Mennan.

  A little girl with a poker face, ***, ***. The several big men in the house were quite embarrassed. However, after Ronnie listened to her, he also knew how to take care of his body and mind, and soon he was discharged from the hospital. The cost of staying in the hospital was not cheap, but the treatment fee was not that much, and the medicine was just ordinary Chinese medicine. When he left, he gave Fang Mengnan a membership card, which was an ordinary white card with only Ronnie's full name on it.

  Summer vacation arrived quietly, Fang Mo Nan was busy running between the hospital and pharmacy, sometimes even being dragged out for external consultations by Jerry. Xiao Yi was busy with social practice, while Mo Bei's summer vacation was busy performing, sometimes giving her compositions to Fang Mo Nan to write lyrics. Who let Fang Mo Nan's writing skills be so powerful in both Chinese and English? Of course, it's only natural that she took on the task. Everyone was too busy to have time to go home during this summer vacation. However, phone bills were skyrocketing, fortunately, they had enough money, otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to afford the phone bill. One month's phone bill even exceeded 10,000 yuan.

  The phone bill was high mainly because of Fang Mo Nan and my parents'.

  "Hey, Mom, is Dad still upset?" Fang Mengnan asked comfortably from the couch, holding the phone. At the beginning of this year, his father had been promoted again and became the county party secretary, while the original Wang secretary was promoted to municipal party secretary by the mayor. However, the new county magistrate was appointed from above and not locally promoted. The new county magistrate and his father didn't get along, which made his father very upset. He was now being restricted and couldn't work with the new secretary as smoothly as before. For this reason, he could only endure it, but fortunately, the new county magistrate was still in the investigation stage and didn't dare to interfere too much with the existing economy, so the county's economy was developing well on its own.

  On the other end of the phone was Mom's voice "Don't be depressed, the new county head almost got himself killed."

  "Oh!" Fang Mo Nan's interest was piqued and he straightened his back curiously asking: "What happened?"

  "Hehe......" Mom smiled and said, "In order to gain prestige, the county magistrate personally invited investment. Who would have thought that he would invite a big scammer back? Fortunately, your dad and Long Xianghai saw through it, otherwise the county would have suffered a great loss."

  "Mom, you're gloating over others' misfortunes, that's not right." Fang Mo Nan said seriously.

  "I'm just gloating, my daughter and I can't help but laugh." The old mother said happily.

  Fang Mo Nan said: "Tell me more details? Let me have some fun too."

  "Months ago, two people came to the county, claiming to be American Chinese, one of whom was a real foreigner. They were interested in investing in the county's development and initially invested 5 million yuan. When they arrived in our county, they received warm hospitality. The county head almost treated them like ancestors. Their passports and American business licenses were genuine, without arousing suspicion. However, there was one condition that required government participation through equity investment, which your father did not agree to, and they almost had a falling out with the county head over it." My mother paused for a moment before continuing: "He wanted the government department to invest in shares because he was afraid that if the county head were to be transferred or promoted one day, the new county head might not support him. If things didn't go well... so their interests would be tied together."

  "Empty-handed, but with a wolf's ambition! A leather bag company!" said Fang Mo Nan. Let's 'cooperate' and invest in shares. This pattern has been used frequently since ancient times, it's the usual trick of 'a small horse pulling a large cart', using a small amount to control a larger one. Not all of them are problematic, but there are many hidden pitfalls. If not handled properly, you'll be trapped and unable to advance or retreat.

  To achieve a big success with limited resources is an extremely risky move that only those with great wisdom can easily control.

  "Empty-handed, yet claiming to be a white wolf." Mom said "Your description is really apt. Your dad wasn't reassured, so he told your uncle about this matter. Your uncle made a phone call to investigate Allen's company in the US. The result was obvious - it was indeed a shell company! Because our county is relatively wealthy, they came here to swindle us, thinking that people in our county are all 'country bumpkins' who don't speak much English and have no overseas connections. But unexpectedly, our place turned out to be a 'tiger's lair', where the clever ones got outsmarted and lost their lives."

  "Dad didn't expose him on the spot!" Fang Mo Nan said.

  "Or you know your dad, he took charge and let your uncle-in-law get involved in the name of investment to hold him back, while he himself went to the city overnight to inform Director Wang. Or your dad had foresight, these two swindlers came here and have already cheated several departments into investing, with funds totaling over 2 million yuan. It took a lot of effort to catch these two swindlers during that time." Mom continued: "This matter involves foreigners, Director Wang sent someone to secretly investigate, and after the evidence was solid, they were caught and punished, minimizing losses."

  These are just economic recoveries, and politically, Wang Shu as a qualified politician will not forget to maximize benefits. Of course, these old dads' qualifications are still not enough.

  Fang Mo Nan on the other end of the phone nodded "Uh-huh! Uh-huh!" and curiously asked: "What's the origin of those two scammers?"

  "These two passports are genuine. The foreigner is a hoodlum from the San Francisco area, who has been to prison for fraud before. The one claiming to be an overseas Chinese is a student who went abroad to study, but came from a poor family. After meeting each other, they started engaging in fraudulent activities. Previously, they had been successful several times in wealthy provinces in the south, but this time, for some reason, they came to our territory. Now he will have to spend the rest of his life in prison."

  "What comes out mixed will eventually have to be repaid." said Fang Mo Nan.

  The old mother laughed and said, "Now the county magistrate is honest, many government departments in the surrounding districts and counties were deceived into investing and several officials lost their jobs."

  "As expected, as long as Dad is fine!" Fang Mo Nan continued to ask: "What's Dad busy with now?"!!!
