Chapter 91

Li Jiandong suddenly poured cold water on her: "If you move here, what about Li Huaide?"

"he?"

Ye Xiaoning really hadn't thought about Li Huaide just now.

This surprised Ye Xiaoning very much.
Because she suddenly realized that the man she couldn't live without before, the man she used to think about every moment, had not appeared in her mind for such a long time.

Even when she wanted to move out, she only thought of moving out alone and didn't think about Li Huaide at all.

What's going on? Don't I love him that much?
Li Jiandong saw that she was in a daze, so he woke her up and said:

"Don't think too much. If you really want to move here, I'll keep an eye on it for you. When you've thought it through, if you still want to come, then come. If you don't want to live here, that's fine too."

Li Jiandong was promoted by Director Yang. Whether he admits it or not, he is already a member of Director Yang's camp. Although it is a bit early to prepare for a rainy day now, since there is a chance to win over Ye Xiaoning, he certainly will not deliberately waste this opportunity.

This was another reason why he took the initiative to find Ye Xiaoning and help her cure her illness.

Who says that the friend of my enemy must be my enemy?

He just wanted to snatch Ye Xiaoning's trump card from Li Huaide.

"Okay, I'll trouble you then."

Ye Xiaoning forced a smile, she was a little confused now.

I don’t know if she would force herself to move in if Li Huaide didn’t allow her to move into the courtyard house.

In all the years before, she had almost never gone against Li Huaide's wishes.

Especially when she knew that she had a terminal illness and didn't have much time left, she even chose to turn a blind eye to Li Huaide's affair outside.

Li Huaide coaxed her and said that it was for her own good that he locked her up at home all day, and Ye Xiaoning believed it all.

But now, she was confused and didn't know whether she would continue to believe in him.

In fact, when she came to see Li Jiandong today, Ye Xiaoning had already made her choice. She went against Li Huaide's wishes, but she just didn't realize it yet.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Then Qin Huairu's voice rang out: "Brother Jiandong, is it convenient for me to come in now?"

"come in."

Li Jiandong responded, and the door was pushed open from the outside, and Qin Huairu walked in holding the child.

Ye Xiaoning also stood up after seeing Qin Huairu.

Li Jiandong introduced them: "This is my wife Qin Huairu, this is my son, and this is Ye Xiaoning, the wife of our colleague at work. She came to see me for medical treatment."

From today on, the fact that Li Jiandong can see a doctor will definitely be exposed.

So he didn't plan to hide it.

It was the first time that Qin Huairu heard that Li Jiandong could treat illnesses.

However, she didn't say much, just smiled and nodded to Ye Xiaoning: "Hello."

Ye Xiaoning also responded: "Hello to you too."

"Jiandong, your wife is so beautiful and young."

Li Jiandong smiled proudly when he heard this.
"Yes, Huairu is only 22 years old this year. She was not old enough when we got married."

"No wonder, Jiandong, you are so lucky."

Ye Xiaoning praised again.

Of course, Qin Huairu was indeed beautiful. Among the people Ye Xiaoning knew, there was hardly anyone prettier than her.

Qin Huairu felt a little shy when being praised.

Li Jiandong said to her, "Huai Ru, go talk to Da Qing and ask him to cook a few more dishes tonight. We will go to his house to eat later. I will go there after I finish treating Ye Xiaoning. Please help us lock the door."

"it is good."

Qin Huairu agreed and left, then helped Li Jiandong lock the door from the outside.

If it were an ordinary woman, she might misunderstand something.

After all, her man was alone in the room with a woman and the door was locked. If they did something, no one would know.

However, Qin Huairu trusted Li Jiandong very much. He was just afraid that someone would break in and disturb him while he was treating Ye Xiaoning.

Although, she still doesn't know when Li Jiandong learned how to treat people.

Seeing that the door was locked, Li Jiandong said to Ye Xiaoning:

"I will treat you later, but first I have to make it clear that your illness can be treated with chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine. Chemotherapy is effective and quick, and you should be able to recover in one to two months since you are in stage 2. However, the disadvantage is that it will harm your body and cause some serious negative effects."

"If you want to use traditional Chinese medicine to treat it, I can use Chinese medicine and acupuncture to help you eradicate the disease, but it may take a longer time, and it requires you to be honest with yourself."

"You can think about it yourself, what kind of treatment you want to use. If you can't figure it out for the moment, you can go back first and wait until you have figured it out before going for treatment."

Li Jiandong personally prefers traditional Chinese medicine treatment, but the effect is relatively slow and he is afraid that Ye Xiaoning cannot wait.

Ye Xiaoning did want to cure her disease as soon as possible, but she did not blindly choose chemotherapy. Instead, she asked, "What are the effects of chemotherapy that you mentioned that is bad for the body?"

"This has many effects, the most important of which are liver damage and bone marrow suppression. If you are not in a hurry to get cured, I still recommend that you use traditional Chinese medicine. You will only have to wait one more year at most."

Li Jiandong said that one year is conservative, and if the treatment goes well, it may only take half a year.

Ye Xiaoning breathed a sigh of relief. If it was only a year, she could afford to wait.

So he quickly nodded and said, "I chose medical law. Thank you, Jiandong."

"It's no trouble, as long as you trust me."

After Li Jiandong finished speaking, he took Ye Xiaoning to the inner room and asked her to take off her clothes and lie down first. He then took out the silver needles he had just bought yesterday, as well as disinfectant and other medical supplies.

Ye Xiaoning was a little shy at first about being honest with a man she wasn't that familiar with, but when she thought that this was for treatment, she relaxed.

The same goes for Li Jiandong. It would be self-deception to say that he has no feelings at all.

But, it was definitely not to the level of a hooligan. Although it was his first time to give acupuncture to someone, his movements were very skillful and he completed the placement of all the needles as quickly as flowing water.

Then, he would change his technique from time to time, twisting or turning, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. Waves of numbing sensations appeared at the location of the cloth needle, making Ye Xiaoning feel the urge to urinate.

This lasted for about 20 minutes, and then Li Jiandong began to remove the needles.

Once all the needles are collected, the acupuncture treatment is successfully completed.

Although it is just a few small movements of lifting, inserting, twisting and turning with fingers, it actually takes a lot of physical energy from the person doing the acupuncture because it requires special concentration.

Li Jiandong wiped the sweat from his head and said:

"Okay, this is the end of my acupuncture treatment. I'll prescribe you a prescription later. When you go back, boil it and drink it according to the method I teach you. It won't take long for the effect to show up."

Ye Xiaoning felt as if her body was much more relaxed. She didn't know if it was really effective or just a psychological suggestion. She stood up and put on her clothes while saying, "When will I come over next time?"

Li Jiandong said:

"After a week, you should do it more frequently at first. After a few times, you don't have to come every Monday. By the way, when you boil the medicine, it's best to find a place outside to boil it, otherwise the whole house will be filled with the smell of medicine and you will smell it as soon as you smell it."

This time Li Jiandong did not mention Li Huaide, but Ye Xiaoning understood what he meant.

This was the third time he said not to let Li Huaide know that he came to see him for medical treatment.

The first two times, Ye Xiaoning didn't take it seriously, but after Li Huaide got angry with her about this last time, this time Ye Xiaoning understood Li Jiandong's good intentions.

"I see. You've worked really hard today. Don't worry about the director of the Political Affairs Office. I'll go back and talk to Huaide."

Ye Xiaoning looked at the sweat on Li Jiandong's forehead and felt grateful from the bottom of his heart.

Li Jiandong just smiled when he heard this.

At first, he helped Ye Xiaoning just to gain another relationship, but now he just wants to be a good doctor and try what it feels like to snatch performance from the King of Hell.

In a blink of an eye, 54 years have arrived. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, every household is paying New Year's greetings.

Yan Jiecheng brought the Yu sisters to Li Jiandong's home: "Master, this is Yu Li, you have met before. Yu Li is my master, you can call him uncle."

Yu Li lost both her parents when she was young. She had to support herself and take care of her younger sister, so she developed a bold and careful character. She was not at all nervous when she came to a strange compound.

Smiling, he called out, "Uncle, Happy New Year."

After that, he pulled Yu Haitang next to him and said, "Haitang, come and wish Uncle a happy new year."

Yu Haitang was only 13 years old after the Chinese New Year. She was very cute and said in a crisp voice, "Happy New Year, uncle."

He Yushui, who was in the next room, heard her voice and ran out.

Seeing Yu Haitang's eyes lit up: "Haitang, why did you come to our courtyard?"

Yu Haitang also smiled when she saw He Yushui, and trotted forward. The two held hands and said, "My sister and I came here. Yushui, there are so many people in your courtyard."

"Of course, we are a large compound."

He Yushui raised her little head and said proudly.

I don’t know what’s so great about having so many people in the yard in the eyes of these little kids.

Li Jiandong took out red envelopes and handed one to Yu Li and Yu Haitang respectively. Yu Li and Yu Haitang were not polite and said thank you after receiving them.

At this time, Yan Bugui was also nearby. He had arrived earlier and had already finished his New Year greetings and was waiting to play mahjong.

This year's luck was relatively good, and he kept winning money in the past two days, so Yan Bugui decisively returned to the game, and played more actively than He Daqing in the past two days.

After Yu Li received the red envelope, she looked at Yan Bugui and said, "Teacher Yan, if I remember correctly, you are also a senior in the hospital, right? You see, a senior has given us a red envelope. Did you forget something?"

Yan Bugui had always disliked Yu Li, and he became even more depressed after hearing this.

"Yu Li, you are too familiar. You are not from our courtyard. If the children from our courtyard want New Year's money, it's fine. Besides, you are already 16 years old."

Yu Li blinked her big eyes and said, "But an old man also gave it to me. Besides, you can refuse to give it to me because I'm 16, but my sister is only 13. You should at least show some appreciation, right?"

Yu Li is like a little adult and speaks like a middle-aged woman.

Yan Jiecheng also said, "Dad, it's just a New Year's gift. You are the third uncle in our courtyard."

"Hey, kid, am I your father or is he your father?"

Yan Bu is extremely noble.

He raised his son for so many years, but he actually helped outsiders ask him for money. It was simply a waste of his time.

"Okay, Old Yan, don't get angry on New Year's Day. If you don't have any money, I'll pay for it for you."

Li Jiandong was about to take out the money as he spoke. It was only a few cents as New Year's money. The outcome would be decided by a single game of mahjong. Only Yan Bugui would be so calculating.

"Well, I've been blackmailed by you today."

Yan Bugui was very depressed. Even Li Jiandong sided with the Yu sisters. It seemed that he could not escape the New Year's money today.

He took out some money from his pocket, picked out a one-cent note after a long while, and handed it to Yu Haitang.

Yu Li immediately smiled happily and said to her sister, "Haitang, this is the New Year's money your uncle gave you. Go and thank him."

Yu Haitang took the money and said to Yan Bugui honestly, "Thank you, Third Uncle."

"Well, you're welcome. Just give your sister more trouble in the future, and that'll be your way of thanking me."

Yan Bugui was cheated out of his money, and he could only vent his resentment through words.

But this trick doesn't work on Li. If she can earn a dime by being ridiculed, she is willing to be ridiculed every day.

The arrival of Yu Li's sister was just a small episode, and the two sisters soon separated. Under the leadership of Yan Jiecheng, Yu Li became friends with his fellow apprentices.

Yu Haitang was listening to the radio with He Yushui at Li Jiandong's house.

The "older generation" including Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui and Xu Fugui all gathered at He Daqing's house.

He Daqing held a piece of brown paper and spread it on the table. When he unfolded it, he found a set of mahjong inside.
As He Daqing unfolded the oil paper, he said to Li Jiandong who was standing at the door: "Old Li, do you want to play? If you want to play, I'll give it to you."

There were four people in the room, He Daqing, Yan Bugui, Liu Haizhong, and Xu Fugui.

It was just right for the four of them to play mahjong, but seeing that Li Jiandong was also there, He Daqing certainly couldn't ignore him.

"Forget it, I won't play, you guys play."

Seeing that everyone was gathered, Li Jiandong planned to go and spend time with his wife and children.

Yan Bugui had already found a seat and sat down. He smiled and said, "Old Li doesn't care about our little money. The four of us can just play together."

After playing mahjong for so long, Yan Bugui has realized that Li Jiandong is the best at it. If he is not present, Yan Bugui will most likely win the money.

Liu Haizhong felt that this was an opportunity to show off, so he took the initiative to offer his position, saying, "Uncle, why don't you sit here with me? I'll just watch from the side."

"That's really not necessary, just play by yourselves."

Li Jiandong simply walked away, then took Li Xunfu for a stroll on the street. There were many children outside, but Li Jiandong's son was still too young, so he was worried about letting him play with other children.
What if you are playing with firecrackers and they break? Similar things happen a lot.

the other side.

Li Huaide was at Ye Xiaoning's home, wishing Ye Xiaoning's father a happy new year with her younger brothers and sisters.

Li Huaide's parents passed away a long time ago, which is one of the reasons why Ye Xiaoning's father was willing to promote him seriously. It is said that a son-in-law is half a son, and for a son like Li Huaide whose parents are no longer around, he is almost the same as a biological son.

In the past few years, Huaide and Ye Xiaoning had spent the New Year at her home, but due to Ye Xiaoning's health, they always left on the 30th. This year, Ye Xiaoning's health had improved, so she stayed here for one night with her sisters.

After visiting his own home, Li Huaide followed his brothers and sisters to visit his neighbors.

Ye Xiaoning was weak so he didn't follow them out.

When she and her father were the only ones left at home, Ye Xiaoning said, "Dad, I want to tell you something."

Father Ye is still very concerned about his eldest daughter, because his eldest daughter is most like him, smart, capable and well-rounded. Unfortunately, she suffers from a terminal illness, otherwise Father Ye would not have devoted himself to cultivating Li Huaide but his own daughter.

Hearing what Ye Xiaoning had to say, Ye's father, who was smoking in the yard, quickly threw away the cigarette he had just lit and smoked, spit out the cigarette in his mouth, and patted the smell of cigarettes on his body with his hands, then walked over and asked with a smile:

"Is it a good thing or a bad thing?"

"A good thing, a great thing."

Ye Xiaoning couldn't help laughing as soon as he opened his mouth.

After hearing what she said, Father Ye also became interested. He sat down on the edge of the kang, looked at his daughter and asked, "Oh, great news? Then I have to listen carefully."

Ye Xiaoning smiled and moved forward, then leaned over and whispered something in Ye's father's ear.

Father Ye was smiling at first, but after hearing what Ye Xiaoning said, his expression suddenly became serious.

The voice was somewhat incredulous: "Are you serious? Is there really someone who can cure your disease?"

Ye Xiaoning nodded seriously:

"Dad, it's absolutely true. Although he has just started treating me, I have clearly felt better these past two days. Otherwise, I would not have stayed at home last night because I used to wake up in the middle of the night feeling uncomfortable. It's not that I couldn't stay with my sisters, but I was afraid that you would find out and it would be uncomfortable."

Ye Xiaoning always said that she was uncomfortable sleeping in a crowded room at home. Even when Ye's father asked his sister to stay in a hotel outside, Ye Xiaoning found excuses to refuse.

In fact, the reason why she didn't dare to spend the night at home was because she couldn't sleep every night because of weak and sore legs. If her father saw her living so miserably, he would definitely feel bad.

Father Ye never thought that his daughter had a hard life. He thought she just didn't have much time left. How could he have imagined that she couldn't even sleep well.

Fortunately, Ye Xiaoning's condition has improved greatly now, otherwise she might never tell this matter until her death.

"Okay, okay, that's great. Which hospital is he from? I'll bring some things to visit him some other day and ask him to take care of you."

Father Ye was very excited. Although given his status, the hospital would definitely value it even if he didn't give any gifts, it would still be better to show some etiquette.

Ye Xiaoning said with a strange expression: "Dad, he is not a doctor in the hospital, and you will never guess his identity. In fact, I was a little skeptical when he came to see me. I didn't expect him to be so powerful."
