Chapter 517: Chapter 517: Is There Still Hope? Chapter 517: Chapter 517: Is There Still Hope? “Hmm, that’s fine, let me have a look first.”
Lin Caisang stood up, extended her hands and pinched his arm a few times. When she pinched certain spots, she saw him wince in pain, his forehead breaking out in cold sweat, but he still gritted his teeth without uttering a sound.
“Does it hurt in these places?” she asked after pressing gently on those spots again.
“Yes, it’s roughly that area. It hurts terribly when slightly moved,” Ya Guman replied.
“Have you seen a doctor before?” Lin Caisang asked again.
“Yes, I have visited our village’s Lady Doctor Liu, who said my arm is useless.” When Ya Guman mentioned Lady Doctor Liu, his face turned sour.
Lady Doctor Liu was previously the only barefoot doctor in Ya Village. He was a man but for reasons unknown, not one doctor in their village ended well. Lady Doctor Liu thus decided to stylize himself as a female doctor for the sake of earning money, oddly dressing himself up as a woman.
News that his arm was useless was spread by that same Lady Doctor Liu.
At that time, the pain was so unbearable that he went secretly to see Lady Doctor Liu without his parents’ knowledge. To his surprise, Lady Doctor Liu took one look at his arm and deemed it incurable.
The following day, this information was disclosed and his mother decided to arrange a marriage for him, as an excuse to make him leave the house and live on his own.
Lin Caisang also has a bad impression of Lady Doctor Liu.
After her Grandpa injured his leg, it was the same Lady Doctor Liu who not only extorted them outrageously, but also claimed that her good fortune was exhausted and that other people’s yang energy was needed to replenish it, essentially blaming her for her Grandpa’s injury.
Being a doctor, it was absurd for him to act like a conman. She remembered how her Grandpa once chased him out of their house with a broom, ending any further contact between them.
“Didn’t you look for other doctors?” she asked.
“What’s the point if it’s useless,” Ya Guman retorted.
Moreover, whether or not he could see another doctor depends on whether his parents were willing to spend money for the treatment of his arm.
“Sangsang, are you suggesting that my arm can still be saved?”
“The fact that you are here implies that there’s still hope. However, if you had waited a few more months, it might have been too late,” Lin Caisang replied mildly.
“Sangsang, what do you mean?”
From the side, Lin Baiyi asked, as he was confused by what his niece was implying.
“Third Uncle, his injury is just a sprained muscle. As long as he receives timely treatment, it won’t be a big problem,” Lin Caisang replied while looking at his arm and pulling out a bag of silver needles from her bag, laying them on the table.
“However, if a few more months were to pass and the sprain does not get treated causing the muscles to completely rot, then it will indeed be incurable. Only then can we call this arm useless.”
Upon hearing Lin Caisang’s words, Lin Baiyi was so furious he almost clenched his teeth into pieces.
“This Lady Doctor Liu has indeed caused a lot of harm!”
A perfectly fine person was nearly deemed handicapped due to his few careless words!
“I’ve always said that Lady Doctor Liu is an insincere conman. He has no substantial medical skills but he sure knows how to scare people with words,” Lin Caisang calmly remarked.
Anyway, her impression of Lady Doctor Liu was absolutely terrible. If not for the fact that committing murder would require an eye for an eye, she would have been tempted to kill him.
