Chapter 95: Filling the Marrow and Strengthening the Brain

Chapter 95: Filling the Marrow and Strengthening the Brain (Part )
Zheng Hong's eyes were red. She knew that it would be beneficial for Hengheng's condition if he could interact with people more.

It’s not that she hasn’t tried. When the family was complete, Hengheng’s father went out to earn money, and she took Hengheng out for a walk every day.

She could tolerate the strange looks from others and the rejection of Hengheng by normal children, but Hengheng had hurt others when he was angry. Whose children are not treasures? She loved Hengheng and others loved their own children. She apologized for the minor injuries.

But once, he actually bit the child's hand tightly and refused to let go no matter how the other parent pulled. If she hadn't beaten him to death, the consequences would have been disastrous.

From then on, she no longer dared to take Hengheng out easily. She only dared to take him to the small square for some fresh air at night when there were few people around.

Zheng Hong choked up and said, "Doctor Chen, I also want to take him out, but the older he gets, the less I can control him. He gets angry and hurts people, and I have no other choice..."

The sympathy in Sister Yang's eyes was about to overflow. She sighed and said, "Madam, can you help her? It's too pitiful for her to take care of the child alone."

Ruogu said helplessly: "His illness cannot be cured in a short time. He is not too old and can be cured slowly. Let's take it step by step and don't be anxious."

Zheng Hong nodded gently. She had no other options. Anyway, Jishiditang was close to home, so she could bring Hengheng here every day. She made up her mind and said, "Doctor Chen, just treat me. As long as it works, I can accept it no matter how long it takes."

Ruogu's eyes were gentle and full of kindness. She smiled and said, "I'll do my best. If you don't have any other requests, I'll give Hengheng acupuncture now. If you have something to do at the vegetable stall, you can go back first. He can give acupuncture for a longer time."

There were few people buying vegetables at this time, and Zheng Hong's stall didn't have much business. She wanted to stay by her son's side so that she could help in case Hengheng didn't cooperate.

"Doctor Chen, I'm fine. Just give me the acupuncture. I'll just watch here."

Ruogu nodded in agreement, turned around and asked Chi Zhengzheng to prepare the disinfection tools. She took out the needle and then came to Hengheng. Hengheng was very well-behaved. He ate his lollipop without making any noise.

For some reason, he had a good impression of Ruogu. When Ruogu took his hand and led him into the ward, he followed obediently without any resistance.

Seeing the worry in Zheng Hong's eyes, Sister Yang hurriedly whispered to comfort her, "Don't think too much. Look how obedient Heng Heng is. There will be no problem with the acupuncture later."

Zheng Hong followed him into the ward. It was beyond her expectation that Heng Heng could be so calm. She glanced at Ruogu and whispered:
"Thank you, Sister Yang. I'm just worried that Hengheng might get angry and hurt Doctor Chen. But looking at Hengheng's expression, he seems to like Doctor Chen very much."

Sister Yang said with a smile on her face: "Our wife is a good person, kind and friendly to everyone. Although Hengheng is sick, she can sense whether he is well or not. This means she knows how to help him."

Zheng Hong could only think so. She stood aside and watched with concern. Ruogu did not ask Chi Zhengzheng for help. She disinfected Hengheng herself. Although Hengheng was not used to it, he did not resist.

Ruogu was smiling and humming an unknown tune. She took out a toy car from somewhere and Hengheng's attention was immediately attracted to the car.

Ruogu took advantage of him not paying attention and quickly pierced the acupuncture point on his head. When the needle was first inserted, Hengheng frowned in discomfort. Zheng Hong clenched her fists, fearing that Hengheng would hurt others. Then Ruogu moved smoothly. After the needle was inserted about 0.8 inches, he twisted the needle directly and injected true energy into his body.

Air rushed into his body, Hengheng's brows relaxed, his expression became surprisingly peaceful, with a hint of a smile on the corners of his mouth.

Zheng Hong had never seen him like this. Ruogu continued to insert the needle into the acupuncture point. As she gently twisted the needle, Hengheng closed his eyes in enjoyment with a comfortable expression.

Zheng Hong found it unbelievable. In her past treatment experiences, every time the patient was in a state of disarray, and she felt distressed when Heng Heng suffered. But this time was the most special.

Hengheng sat upright. After Ruogu sent the true qi into his body, he kept the needle in his body for an hour and then inserted it into different parts of his limbs, controlling the insertion of the needle to about 0.9 inches, twisting the needle from time to time.

After Ruogu stopped, Zheng Hong couldn't help but ask, "Doctor Chen, why is Hengheng so quiet?"

Ruogu explained tiredly, "Don't worry. I pierced the acupuncture points in his brain, which can excite the cortex of his brain, replenish his marrow and strengthen his brain, and calm his mind. It is beneficial to his brain development. At the same time, it can dredge his brain meridians and calm his spirit. He will feel very comfortable."

Zheng Hong nodded, not quite understanding. She hesitated and asked, "How long will this acupuncture last?"

Ruogu said calmly, "Acupuncture should be done once a day for two months before evaluating the efficacy. The medicine should also be taken for that long."

Zheng Hong turned her head to look at Hengheng. Although she didn't understand some of the words, she could see Hengheng's condition. She also felt that Hengheng was unwell before, but he couldn't express it and she couldn't verify it, so she could only bear it.

Now, even if it is just to make her son feel more comfortable, the treatment has to continue. Zheng Hong made up her mind, walked up to Ruogu, and knelt on the ground.

Ruogu was startled by her action, and hurriedly bent down to help her up, saying gently: "What are you doing? If you have anything to say, please speak nicely and don't scare the child."

Zheng Hong cried and shook her head, she said in a hoarse voice: "Doctor Chen, I know you are a doctor with extremely high medical skills. Hengheng's condition will definitely improve under your treatment, and I am willing to bring him here every day.

But I just got divorced, and I have to pay a year's rent and support the vegetable stall business. I don't have much spare money. Can I... pay the medical expenses later, or come to the clinic to clean? As long as you are willing to continue to treat Hengheng, you can let me do anything. "

Everyone had heard about Zheng Hong's situation, and they all sympathized with the mother and son. Before Ruogu could speak, Sister Yang spoke first:
"Zheng Hong, please get up soon. I have already made an agreement with my wife that Hengheng's medical expenses will be deducted from my salary. Anyway, I will live with my wife and the others, so it won't cost much. Don't worry."

Zheng Hong still knelt on the ground and said firmly:
"Thank you Sister Yang for your help, but this is my responsibility and I shouldn't implicate you. I still have more than 5,000 yuan in my card. Thanks to the care of my neighbors, my vegetable stall business is also good. Even if I'm a little tight on money for now, I will definitely be able to pay it back later. Please trust me this time, Doctor Chen."

Sister Yang said anxiously, "Why are you so stubborn? I paid this money for Hengheng, not for you."

Although Zheng Hong was in financial difficulty, she was very proud and refused to agree to anything she said. Ruogu looked at the two of them arguing and felt helpless. She said calmly:
"Zheng Hong will continue to sell vegetables in the mornings, and come to our house to clean and help Sister Yang at other times. Her salary will be lower than Sister Yang's. After Heng Heng's medical expenses are deducted, you can decide whether to stay or go."
