My Son-in-law Is A War God
Chapter 279

Chapter 279: 279

"Husband!"

Jiang Meng glanced at Xiao Chen, her eyes already red, since she absolutely couldn’t stand seeing people in such misery.

"I understand!"

Xiao Chen nodded, thinking that had he not come across this case, he would have said nothing, but now that he had, he might as well see it through.

"Doctor on duty, I can use your tools, right?"

He looked at the attending physician and asked.

"Please use them, sir. You are a major patron of our pharmacy. Even if we were to give those tools away for free, it would be fine."

The doctor on duty was easy to talk to.

"That’s settled then."

Xiao Chen looked at the middle-aged man and said, "I’ll treat your mother’s illness for free, is that okay?"

"Treat for free? Can you really cure the illness without charge?"

The middle-aged man hesitated.

"Go ahead and treat her."

The old lady spoke up, "It doesn’t matter if I die; I don’t want to be a burden to this child any longer.

You don’t know, my son has a PhD.

It’s all my fault, this old fool. I’ve ruined my child’s life.

I might as well be dead."

"Mother, don’t you dare talk about death!"

The middle-aged man exclaimed angrily.

Xiao Chen understood the old lady’s words; she probably felt she was too young and feared that if she couldn’t cure her, she didn’t want her son to come looking for trouble.

She seemed to have a kind heart.

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "If I say I can cure it, then I can definitely cure it. There are so many people here as witnesses.

I’ll put my word on it here.

If you just follow what I tell you, you’ll be cured within a month, and the medicine will take effect!"

In fact, Xiao Chen had already checked the old woman’s condition and was certain of the diagnosis.

That’s why he had such confidence.

However, this confidence seemed too reckless in the eyes of the old physician.

No doctor would dare to give such a guarantee.

Because if something went wrong, it would cause a lot of trouble.

"Young man, don’t make such absolute statements."

The old physician said, "In treating and saving lives, there are always unexpected occurrences. After all, humans are not immortals.

It’s not possible to be certain of a cure."

"If I cure her, will you offer those medicines we bought before for free?"

Xiao Chen could tell that the old physician held a high position in the pharmacy and definitely had a say in the matter.

"Hehe, you see these people waiting for me?"

The old physician laughed and said, "Alright, I agree to your terms!"

The crowd also felt that Xiao Chen’s claim was a bit too bold.

This mother and son had been seeking medical treatment for more than a year or two.

They had sought help from both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, but had not been cured.

And here he was, claiming certain cure?

And recovery in one month?

It sounded just like the talk of a charlatan.

Only a charlatan would dare to make such grand promises.

Xiao Chen didn’t explain himself, he only looked at the old lady and the middle-aged man and said, "You don’t need to worry about what others are saying.

As long as you’re willing, that’s all that matters."

"No problem, young man, I believe in you!"

The old lady nodded as she looked at Xiao Chen.

She had seen too many doctors, and too many charlatans.

She remembered every one of their eyes.

In Xiao Chen’s eyes, there was full confidence and kindness.

Completely different from those charlatans.

And different from those insecure doctors too, why wouldn’t she believe?

Xiao Chen had the old lady lie down on the sickbed in the clinic room next to the pharmacy.

Then he asked some questions.

The things he inquired about, no other doctor had even considered.

And the questions the other doctors asked, he did not bring up once.

He didn’t even do a routine blood test, let alone any other examinations.

At the hospital, she must have gone through those dozens of times, but to no avail.

If the illness hadn’t been cured, it only showed the problem couldn’t be seen on those tests.

Xiao Chen had his own unique way of diagnosing illnesses, different from how other doctors did.

"Just as I thought!"

Xiao Chen exclaimed, "Your illness actually started while you were still in your mother’s womb.

Because the symptoms closely resembled a cold, and cold medication did have some effect, temporarily relieving the pain,

it couldn’t resolve the root cause.

Over time, the illness just got worse and occurred more frequently."

Medicine that doesn’t match the symptoms only makes things more troublesome!

"Do you have needles here?"

"Yes!"

The old Chinese doctor naturally had needles since he often performed acupuncture.

"Bring them here!"

Xiao Chen said.

"Right!"

The old Chinese doctor brought over his precious silver needles and handed them to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen disinfected the silver needles, then inserted them into the old lady’s acupoints.

Around the area of the ailment, he inserted nineteen needles.

The onlookers, more accustomed to Western medical treatments, found this scene quite unusual.

So they all stopped talking and watched with wide eyes.

When the silver needles were inserted, the old lady didn’t feel any pain at all.

Jiang Meng was extremely nervous at this moment.

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on her husband, and her palms were sweating.

The silver needles, each over ten centimeters long, looked quite frightening.

Now only two to three centimeters remained visible outside.

The rest were inside the old lady’s body.

"That’s really scary!"

"Could he accidentally kill the old lady?"

"What are you scared of, surgery is much more frightening than this."

Some were too frightened to watch.

But others were indifferent.

After all, they had witnessed surgeries before, so what was this?

"Has the old lady fallen asleep?"

Everyone heard steady breathing.

The old lady lay there, seemingly having fallen asleep.

"Next, I need to perform a minor surgery, you all can’t watch that. You there, come in and help me.

Everyone else, stay outside,"

Xiao Chen said.

No one dared to disobey him, as a life was at stake.

The curtains were drawn shut, the door was closed.

Although it was a makeshift operating room, the sanitary conditions were still quite decent.

Not even ten minutes had passed.

The old Chinese doctor came out from inside, trembling and appearing stunned.

"How’s my mom?"

The middle-aged man asked anxiously.

"I’ve seen a god!"

The old Chinese doctor just kept talking to himself.

It was as if he didn’t even hear the other man’s voice.

Just at that moment, the room’s door opened.

"Son, I’m fine now!"

The voice of the old lady came out.

By this time, the elderly woman had already woken up, "I feel so much lighter all over my body."

"Mom, are you really all right?"

The middle-aged man asked in disbelief.

"Yes! Yes! The place that used to always hurt doesn’t hurt at all now.

I can tell that I’m truly healed this time."

As the old lady spoke, tears streamed down her face.

After suffering for so many years, she never expected her pain to be relieved in such a way.

She had nearly given up hope.

"Divine Doctor, I kneel to you, forgive me for ever doubting you.

I truly am an idiot!"

The middle-aged man suddenly knelt before Xiao Chen and fiercely slapped his own face twice.

"Get up quickly!"

Xiao Chen glared at the middle-aged man, "Kneel before heaven and earth, kneel before your parents, but not to anyone you see.

Your mother’s chronic illness is gone, but after so many years of taking medication, she still needs proper care.

So, you there, from now on, you take care of her recuperation.

Don’t charge them a penny.

Our previous bet is off."

The old Chinese doctor shook his head and said, "What are you talking about? I’d give you the medicinal materials even without the bet.

You’ve shown me what a true master is, what a Divine Doctor is!

Don’t worry, I’ll take care of everything the old lady needs for her nursing home.

I won’t take a penny for those medicinal materials."
