Chapter 1080: Chapter 159: Maintain the Status Quo

Manbao thought for a moment and said, "It’s possible, but it’s best if he doesn’t have children. I’m afraid his children will end up like him."

She sighed softly, "Didn’t you hear what Imperial Doctor Tan said? His illness comes from the womb. I saw his instability in the womb, and it’s only because of the medication that he survived. Actually, he shouldn’t have been born."

Bai Shan, however, had a different opinion, "In this world, who shouldn’t be born? If he shouldn’t be born, then Yin Huo would not exist on this earth."

Manbao said, "I have been told that giving birth to a healthy child is being responsible to oneself, to one’s family, and also to the child. Determining whether he is healthy and can survive well in this world before he is even conscious is also a responsibility of a medical practitioner."

Bai Erlang opened his mouth wide, "If Yin Huo’s mother had met a doctor like you, wouldn’t he have not survived?"

Manbao retorted irritably, "I’m just a doctor, can I force a patient to abort? I’m just expressing my opinion. In the end, isn’t it up to the patients themselves to decide?"

Bai Shan thought for a moment, then said, "Yin Huo is probably happy about it, but the Yin Family might not agree."

Manbao sighed, "Why does the Yin Family insist on Yin Huo having children? Isn’t the birth of a son the same as the birth of a daughter?"

Bai Erlang said, "It’s not the same. You are water poured out; we are soil that stays at home."

Bai Shan looked at Bai Erlang sympathetically.

Manbao rolled up her sleeves, rushed at Bai Erlang, and gave him a beating before letting him go.

Mr. Zhuang, upon learning that Yin Huo was not in mortal danger, was relieved and waved his hand, "Go rest now, you still have to go to school tomorrow."

Indeed, no matter what happens, those who need to go to school must still go to school, those who need to work still have to work.

Now, the patients coming to see Manbao for treatment were much more than before, but even then, she only saw patients for half a day and left after lunchtime.

Sometimes, when it was too busy, she would have her lunch in the pharmacy and see a few more patients. In the afternoon, she would go back to read. Even if Mr. Zhuang no longer taught her, she would take classes from Teacher Mo in the system.

In the afternoon, when Bai Shan and the others were about to finish school, Manbao and Daji would go to pick them up, and then they would head to the Yin Family.

The Yin Family was bustling because Eldest Sister Yin and the others had all returned to their maternal home. They didn’t dare to disturb Yin Huo, so they just talked in the shaded area of the courtyard, all with worried expressions.

Seeing Manbao and the others come in, their gazes shot towards them.

Manbao bowed to them from afar and did not approach; she went straight into Yin Huo’s room.

Eldest Sister Yin could not help but get angry, "Grandmother, look at their impolite manner..."

"Enough, they are here to see Qilang, not you," Old Madam Yin waved her hand, looking much haggard and with dark circles under her eyes, obviously having not slept well the night before, "You’ve been back long enough. Your husbands have finished their official duties and gone home, go back now."

Second Sister Yin supported Old Madam Yin, looking concerned, "Grandmother, is your health alright?"

Old Madam Yin waved her hand, "It’s nothing, go back."

Eldest Sister Yin, reluctantly biting her lip, said, "Grandmother, the little brother doesn’t want to get treatment, maybe they incited him. Why did you still let them come see him?"

Old Madam Yin looked up at them and indifferently said, "Qilang said, in the future adopting a child from you, or letting Four and the others marry into our family is the same."

Eldest Sister Yin frowned in confusion, "How is that the same? Being born to you and adopting cannot be considered the same. Besides, the clan won’t agree."

Second Sister Yin and Third Sister Yin were also somewhat astonished, then lowered their heads in thought.

Old Madam Yin waved her hand, "Enough, the most important thing now is for Qilang to take his medicine and heal. The rest, we can talk about later."

Eldest Sister Yin wanted to speak again, but Third Sister Yin pulled her back, and she then restrained herself, and with her two sisters, bowed and retreated.

Old Madam Yin watched her three eldest granddaughters leave, then turned to the three younger ones and said, "You all rest too, come back later."

Fourth Miss Yin, leading her two younger sisters, bowed and left.

After they all left, Old Madam Yin, holding Daya’s hand, headed inside.

Yin Huo liked quietness. Having extra people in the room would make him irritable, especially after last night’s incident; his way of showing disgust became more direct. Everyone in the Yin Family, including Old Madam Yin, didn’t want to upset him at this time, so only Changshou was serving inside.

At this moment, Changshou was waiting outside. As soon as he saw the Old Madam enter, he immediately tried to kneel to greet her.

Old Madam Yin waved her hand at him and walked in with a stern face.

Inside, Bai Shan and the other two were sitting by the bed, joking with Yin Huo. Whatever they said made them burst into laughter, even Yin Huo had a smile on his face, his eyes shining like stars as he watched them.

This made Old Madam Yin involuntarily pause her steps.

Hearing the noise, the young men and women turned their heads, and upon seeing her, they slightly restrained their smiles.

Old Madam Yin approached with a slight smile, and the three hurriedly stood up to greet her. After dismissing their formalities, she spoke to Manbao, "Young Doctor Zhou, Imperial Doctor Tan said he would come later, and you guys can discuss Qilang’s condition again then."

Manbao glanced back at Yin Huo and asked, "Old Madam, how do you wish to treat him?"

Old Madam Yin also looked back at Yin Huo behind her, paused for a moment, then smilingly said, "Let’s heal his wounds first. Since he has been taking the new medicine for a while, let’s continue with the treatment method of Doctor Zhou Junior."

What about after that?

But Manbao knew that haste makes waste. She couldn’t rush the patient’s family to make decisions. After all, they were still following her method for now, right?

Manbao agreed, indicating that she would discuss it thoroughly with Imperial Doctor Tan.

Old Madam Yin took two steps forward, looked at her grandson on the bed and asked softly, "Qilang, does your wound still hurt today?"

Yin Huo responded with a light smile, "Grandmother, rest assured, it’s not that painful anymore."

Old Madam Yin sighed with relief, bent down to tuck him in, and said, "You mustn’t scare grandma like this again, just talk things out..."

Old Madam paused here, then softly added, "Grandma will listen to what you say."

Yin Huo nodded with a smile.

Old Madam Yin then sighed, nodded to Bai Shan and the two, and turned to leave.

The three felt the atmosphere between the grandmother and grandson was a bit strange, and couldn’t help but scratch their heads in confusion as they watched Yin Huo.

Seeing their identical actions, Yin Huo couldn’t help but laugh, "You guys are really in sync."

He paused then asked with a smile, "I’ve never asked, how did you guys meet?"

Manbao naturally said, "We are from the same village, we’ve known each other since we were very little."

"Are you really fifteen?" Yin Huo, looking puzzled, said, "I always feel like you are younger than them."

Manbao chuckled, "No, I’m fourteen lunar years."

Bai Erlang added, "Twelve solar years, and it’ll be thirteen in a few months, hahaha..."

Yin Huo became more puzzled, "So, you’re younger than Bai Er and Bai Shan. How come you are the Senior Sister? I always wanted to ask, but felt it wasn’t nice; how come your rankings seem reversed with age?"

Bai Erlang couldn’t laugh anymore.
