Chapter 6: Can't Let Go
Like most people, He Hui's first reaction when he gets sick is to go to the hospital for a check-up, then get injections, take medicine, and have surgery, all of which are Western medical diagnosis and treatment.

He didn't know much about Chinese medicine, so he was skeptical and said tactfully:
"Sister-in-law, kidney stones can be removed with minimally invasive surgery, and the effect should be faster than traditional Chinese medicine. Otherwise, I should go to the hospital..."

Chen Ruogu didn't care much when he heard this, Yu Huaixi said with a little displeasure:

"My mother is willing to treat you. That's your blessing, but you don't know how to appreciate it."

Yu Huaixi is the person who knows Chen Ruogu's abilities best. They also need He Hui to drive and run errands, otherwise she would not say much.

He Hui held his stomach in unbearable pain and had no strength to speak. He also didn't want to offend the boss's wife, so he decided to give it a try.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll trouble you, sister-in-law. I really can't bear it anymore..."

He gasped in pain, and even his lips began to turn white, obviously it hurt extremely.

Chen Ruogu has always regarded herself as a doctor. She has a compassionate heart, so she doesn't mind his attitude just now.

She patted Huaixi's back and said softly, "Go to the study and get the medical kit that Grandpa left for me."

Yu Huaixi had no choice but to respond, and immediately turned around to get it. Chen Ruogu said gently:

"Huai Xi has a childish temper, so don't bother with her. Chinese medicine is declining now, and it's hard to find a good doctor. It's inevitable that you have concerns.

I studied with my father since I was young, and later I was admitted to the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Although I didn’t work much after graduation, I didn’t lose my skills as a doctor at all.”

He Hui forced a smile and said weakly:

"Thank you, sister-in-law. It's not that I don't trust you, I just think Western medicine is faster."

Yu Huaixi came over with a medical kit in his arms. Chen Ruogu skillfully took out the silver needle and sterilized it while patiently saying:
"In the process of TCM diagnosis and treatment, we not only focus on alleviating symptoms, but also pay more attention to the overall conditioning of the body. Western medicine removes the problem wherever it occurs without considering the subsequent physical condition. TCM uses the power of nature to regulate the body, which is slower but more reassuring."

Although He Hui's abdomen was still in pain, he looked at her soft fingers, which seemed to reveal elegance in every joint. He was a little absent-minded for a moment and said unconsciously:

"I'll listen to you. I believe in my sister-in-law..."

Yu Huaixi sneered, and He Hui suddenly woke up, realizing that he had lost his composure. The blood drained from his face and he became increasingly weak.

Chen Ruogu pretended not to hear anything. She used her fingers flexibly and naturally to pick up the silver needles and insert the needles into He Hui's kidney points and spine. She then circulated the air in his body and guided the silver needles into He Hui's body for strong stimulation.

He Hui didn't feel anything when the needle was first inserted. He couldn't understand why such a thin needle didn't hurt when it entered his body. However, with the stimulation of the airflow, an obvious pain point appeared in his right rib, and He Hui groaned.

Chen Ruogu's expression remained calm. Her slender and deft fingers touched the silver needles, each stroke gracefully and powerfully.

Yu Huaixi watched from the side, poured a cup of hot water for He Hui and asked curiously:
"Uncle He, how do you feel?"

He Hui was gritting his teeth and enduring. There were more beads of sweat on his forehead. After the most intense pain was over, he suddenly felt comfortable in all his limbs. He exhaled and said happily:

"The pain in my abdomen is gone, and I feel like the blood is flowing smoothly throughout my body, and my body is warm, just like soaking in a hot spring."

Yu Huaixi had expected this and did not find it surprising. He said with pride:
"Now you know how profound Chinese medicine is. Mom, should we collect the consultation fee from Uncle He?"

Yu Huaixi asked this deliberately. How could Chen Ruogu not know his daughter's thoughts? Without waiting for her to answer, He Hui said with a refreshed look:

"I will pay you whatever your consultation fee is. A doctor like you is worthy of being called a national expert. I have made a lot of money."

Chen Ruogu was just trying it out to see if the airflow in his body could be used properly, and the result was unexpectedly good.

He Hui's condition was not serious and she did not spend too much energy on it, so why would she charge him for the consultation?

"Don't move. After I remove the silver needle, go to the toilet. The stones should be able to come out."

He Hui was half-believing and half-doubting. After she pulled out the silver needles one by one, he hurried to the bathroom. After a while, he shouted excitedly:

"It's really been expelled. Look, sister-in-law, it's such a big stone..."

He held a small black stone in his hand and handed it to Chen Ruogu. Yu Huaixi quickly pushed him away, covering his nose and said in disgust:
"How did you get rid of this kidney stone? You are so disgusting and you are just handing it to my mother. Can you be more careful?"

He Hui came back to his senses immediately. He retracted his hand awkwardly and said:

"Sister-in-law, I'm just too excited. I didn't expect Chinese medicine to be so magical."

Chen Ruogu had seen everything, so how could she dislike these? She chuckled and said:

"It's just a trick. I hope it can help you relieve the pain. I just checked your pulse and found that there are still small crystals in your body. If you don't take medicine to treat it, I'm afraid it will grow bigger and cause obstruction."

He Hui immediately requested, "Sister-in-law, I really don't want to feel the pain again. Please prescribe some medicine for me. I will go back and cook it myself."

He felt scared when he thought about the unbearable pain he had just experienced. Chen Ruogu had a gentle and friendly personality, so how could he deliberately make trouble for others?

She took out a pen from the pen holder, picked up a piece of paper, and wrote the prescription carefully on it, and whispered:
"This combination of rhubarb powder and turmeric powder is enough for four days. You don't need to boil them. Just mix them with boiling water and take them after meals."

He Hui no longer had any doubts. He took the prescription reverently, read it through, then folded it neatly and put it carefully into his pocket.

"Sister-in-law, are you really going to open a clinic when you return to your hometown in Wanling?"

Chen Ruogu was packing up the medicine box, which was something passed down from her original father, and she should keep it carefully.

The sunlight shone through the window onto her face, casting a golden glow on her. The corners of her lips slightly raised, forming a graceful arc, and she spoke softly:

"To be precise, it's to reopen Jishitang. It's a family business passed down from our ancestors, and we can't let the inheritance end because of me."

He Hui now not only regards her as the boss's wife. It is inevitable for people to get sick if they eat all kinds of grains. Moreover, his parents are getting older and they have to go to the hospital unavoidably.

If you know a doctor with excellent medical skills, it can really save your life at the critical moment.

He had a deep feeling after the acupuncture and stone removal, and he believed that Chen Ruogu was a rare Chinese medicine expert, so he would try to make friends with her. "It's good to reopen Jishitang! It can benefit the general public and support oneself, which is better than anything else. So when are we going back home?"

He was even more enthusiastic than Chen Ruogu. Yu Huaixi said in a clear voice:

"Anyway, I've already dropped out of school, so there's no need to rush to leave. I still have to wait for Zhang Wenting's family to compensate me. If she doesn't give it to me, this matter will never end."

Yu Huaixi had some banditry about her, but Chen Ruogu was happy to indulge her, saying calmly, "Just listen to Huaixi. We have to clean up this place first, and the house and clinic in Wanling also need to be renovated. There's no need to rush."

He Hui still has the ability to handle things. He pondered for a moment and said:

"In the near future, I will arrange for someone to deliver meals to your door every day, and look for a suitable decoration team. Wanling will also arrange a house for you to stay in temporarily. As for the items here that need to be packed and mailed, let me be in charge."

Chen Ruogu was very satisfied with his arrangement and smiled, "You have considered everything. Thank you for your help."

He Hui scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled innocently: "Sister-in-law, you are too polite. This is my job. If you are satisfied, you can ask Teacher Yu for a raise for me."

Chen Ruogu said seriously: "Okay, if he doesn't give you a raise, I'll make it up to you."

Anyway, there is still a lot of balance in the card, and Yu Yuan will not treat them harshly in this regard, so Chen Ruogu has nothing to fear.

"Go home and rest first. I'll call you if there's anything else."

What worker doesn't like to take a holiday? He Hui was in too much pain just now. Although the pain has eased now, his body is still a little weak and he really needs to rest.

The boss's wife is a beautiful, kind-hearted person who can save lives. He Hui thinks she is perfect and impeccable, and the scales in his heart unconsciously tilt towards her. He wants to say more good things about her in front of Yu Yuan. It would be a waste of God's gift not to keep such an excellent wife by his side.

Yu Yuan was filming in the mountains at the moment. He slapped the mosquitoes on his arms, stared at the overly clean clothes of the actress in front of the camera, frowned at the producer and asked:

"What's wrong with Zhou Tong's clothes? I remember that they were torn during the filming yesterday. Why is it that the clothes she wore today are not only intact but even cleaner?"

Yu Yuan was both the director and the protagonist on the set. He always had high standards and strict requirements for his work. Although he was very picky, he was emotionally stable and never lost his temper with the staff.

Therefore, when Producer Han heard his question, he was not too nervous. He came close to Yu Yuan and explained in a low voice:

"Director Yu, Zhou Tong is not wearing the same clothes she wore yesterday. She said that her skin is sensitive and she will get a rash if she wears dirty clothes. She has prepared several identical sets of clothes to wear in rotation. I can't ask for too much..."

Yu Yuan frowned and shouted "Cut". He took off his equipment and waved to Zhou Tong. He raised his voice slightly and asked, "Zhou Tong, have you ever done a character profile?"

Zhou Tong filmed a scene where a kidnapped woman escaped and was caught in the mountains. She patted the dirt on her head impatiently and said with dissatisfaction:
"Brother Yuan, why did I fail again? I have acted out the emotions you requested, so the problem shouldn't be with me."

Yu Yuan's seemingly calm appearance concealed anger. He said sharply:
"What's wrong with your clothes? They were just torn in the last scene, but they are intact in this shot. Do you think the audience are stupid?"

Zhou Tong suddenly felt guilty, and she lowered her posture and said:

"Brother Yuan, I have mysophobia and sensitive skin, so I really can't wear dirty clothes. At worst, I can tear this one too. The audience won't care about these details."

Yu Yuan's face gradually darkened, his eyes became stern, and he said mercilessly:
"If you can't film as requested, I'll replace you with someone else for the second female role."

Producer Han became anxious when he heard what he said. Yu Yuan had made a decision and no one could change it. Zhou Tong's acting skills were not bad, but he was not irreplaceable.

If we change the actors at this time, all the previous filming will be wasted, and we will have to spend manpower and material resources to reshoot, and part of the money invested will be wasted. He didn't want to watch the fun anymore, and hurriedly advised:

"Don't worry, it's not that serious. Zhou Tong can just change into the same clothes she wore yesterday and shoot again. It's already May, and we have to reserve time for post-production and publicity. If we change people, we won't be able to catch up with the summer season. Such a big loss is not worth it."

Zhou Tong's tense face relaxed a little after hearing what the Korean producer said. Isn't the purpose of making movies to make money? Why lose the big picture for the small one?

Her status is not low, and although her personality is a little hard to describe, she has strong professional skills and good acting skills. It will be difficult to find a more suitable replacement for her in the short term.

However, Yu Yuan was not only the director, he was also the investor. Although he kept a low profile on the set, he had absolute say. He ignored Producer Han and said to Zhou Tong in a deep voice:
"You can either put on yesterday's clothes this afternoon and reshoot them, or pack up and leave. It's your choice."

After he said this, he left without looking back. Zhou Tong had never been treated so rudely by anyone before. She was so angry that her eyes turned red. Producer Han immediately stepped forward to comfort her.

"Zhou Tong, don't be angry. Brother Yuan has invested a lot in this movie, so it's normal for him to be demanding. You have to bow your head for the sake of box office, awards, and rising status, don't you think?"

Yu Yuan didn't like dealing with complicated interpersonal relationships, so he asked Han Shuo to be the producer. He was versatile and could handle things in a comprehensive manner. He could subdue any demons and monsters, so it was natural for him to do ideological work for Zhou Tong.

Yu Yuan found a quiet place to take a breath of fresh air. The closer it got to the end of the filming, the more demanding he became. It is true that details determine success or failure. There are so many talented people in the entertainment industry, and if he wants to be invincible, he can only strive for excellence.

The mountain breeze blew gently, bringing with it the freshness and freedom of nature, softly and delicately soothing his soul. Yu Yuan felt the tranquility and beauty of the moment.

He had just found a stone wall to lean against when the cell phone in his shirt pocket suddenly vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was He Hui's number, so he pressed the answer button.

"Teacher Yu, I hope I didn't disturb your filming. Can I have a word with you?"

Yu Yuan had regained his usual composure. He said calmly, "I'm free now. You can talk if you have anything to say."

He Hui knew that his boss' time was precious, so he made it short and told him the latest situation of Chen Ruogu and her daughter. When Yu Yuan heard that his daughter was being bullied at school, he felt a strong sense of guilt.

He and Chen Ruogu married out of love, and even though he had nothing, Chen Ruogu still stayed with him.

However, due to his personality, he could not express his love and was unable to provide the other party with high-quality companionship. After Chen Ruogu became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, she became moody and hysterical.

Her emotional instability also affected her daughter, so that she suffered mental torture every time she returned home.

The two gradually went from quarreling to a cold war. When his daughter was young, his career was on the rise and he had endless announcements to keep up with. In addition, because of his secret marriage, the couple often did not see each other for a year or two. He could only work hard to make up for it financially.

He had seriously considered divorce over the years, and he felt suffocated and couldn't breathe when he was preparing the divorce agreement.

The happiest time in his life was the time he spent with Chen Ruogu, and he couldn't bear to let go.
