The Crazy Son-In-Law

“Presumptuous! Do you know who Dr. Qiu is? She is the apprentice of our Deputy Dean and has treated countless difficult and complicated cases. And you, a wanderer doctor, you’re really ignorant of your place!” A young doctor in the ward was pointing at Xiao Shun and scolding loudly.

“Are you a relative of the patient?” Qiu Jiali asked coldly, looking at the dark-faced man called Guan Dacheng, even though she knew the answer.

Qiu Jiali has always carried an air of superiority in the hospital, bolstered by the fact that her mentor is Zhou Shuqing and she herself is somewhat talented. She had not been able to gain an advantage over Xiao Shun, and this had vented her anger at Guan Dacheng.

“I am,” Guan Dacheng nodded.

“Who is the woman on the bed?”

“She’s my mother,” Guan Dacheng replied truthfully.

“We will no longer treat your mother at our hospital. Take her and leave now!” Qiu Jiali said coldly.

“Dr. Qiu, we meant no disrespect. My mother has been languishing here, and I’ve been worried. I asked Mr. Xiao to help because I had no other choice, please don’t take it personally…” Guan Dacheng, a simple farmer, was flustered in this situation and didn’t know how to respond.

At this moment, he was desperate, unsure of who to trust. “Since you don’t trust our hospital, there’s nothing more to say.” Qiu Jiali then turned to the nurse behind her and said, “Take him to complete the discharge procedures.”

“Dacheng, quickly apologize to Dr. Qiu. Do you really think our hospital is inferior to this young man?” “This bastard, if he was reliable, his factory wouldn’t have caused us this trouble. Are you out of your mind to trust him?”

The other villagers in the ward also tried to persuade Guan Dacheng. With their support, Qiu Jiali’s momentum grew stronger. She looked at Xiao Shun with scorn and said, “With your mediocre medical skills, stop embarrassing yourself here. It might work on laymen, but trying to bluff in our hospital? Do you even know where you are?”

She could tell that Xiao Shun’s acupuncture techniques were quite proficient, suggesting he knew some basic needling methods. However, compared to those in the hospital like herself who had systematically studied acupuncture, he was far from competent. Even she wouldn’t dare to administer needles to these patients randomly, yet this brash young man seemed utterly fearless.

“Can you tell me what kind of place this is?”

The voice of Zhou Shuqing suddenly came from outside, followed by him walking in through the door, with Qin Guangyuan close at his heels.

“Dr. Zhou, you’re here,” Qiu Jiali greeted him with a smile, completely oblivious of any wrongdoing on her part.

The other young doctors and nurses also greeted him.

“What is this place?” Zhou Shuqing asked, his gaze firmly on Qiu Jiali.

Only then did Qiu Jiali notice Zhou Shuqing’s displeased expression, and her face slightly changed as she stammered, “This… is a hospital.”

“Since this is a hospital, a place to cure and save people, how can you force patients to go through discharge procedures? Who gave you this right?” Zhou Shuqing questioned.

“Dr. Zhou… I…” Qiu Jiali stuttered, momentarily at a loss for words.

“Dr. Zhou, the situation is this: someone who doesn’t belong to our hospital provided treatment to a patient privately, causing Dr. Qiu to lose her composure…” A male doctor next to Qiu Jiali tried to ease the situation.

Since Xiao Shun had been facing away from the door, Zhou Shuqing and Qin Guangyuan hadn’t yet recognized him.

At this moment, it was the crucial time to detoxify the old lady, so he didn’t stand up to greet the two men, but was fully engrossed in his acupuncture treatment.

Zhou Shuqing glanced at him, his eyes narrowing slightly. The silhouette seemed familiar.

“Mr. Xiao…”

At this point, Qin Guangyuan also noticed something amiss. He quickly walked over, bent down for a closer look, and immediately asked with a look of surprise and respect, “Master, why are you here? This is quite a coincidence.”

Upon hearing Qin Guangyuan call him master, Xiao Shun instantly felt like dying.

The overly respectful demeanor of Qin Guangyuan, a man of such advanced age, towards him was extremely jarring and out of place.

Others may not recognize Qin Guangyuan, but Qiu Jiali had seen the long-established seniors when she attended the Traditional Medicine Forum with Zhou Shuqing, including her teacher Zhou Shuqing himself, all of whom highly respected this figure of traditional medicine.

One could say that his status in the field of traditional medicine was so high that everyone admired and aspired to it.

But now, he was showing such respect to a young man, which made her feel as if she were in a trance.

Was this a dream?

I must have seen wrong, this is impossible.

What could this young man have that would make a figure of traditional medicine of such stature respect him so much?

At this point, Xiao Shun didn’t have the time to deal with Qin Guangyuan. He twisted the end of the needle, and the silver needle spun at a speed invisible to the naked eye in his hand. For a moment, it seemed as if the sound of a dragon’s chant echoed in everyone’s ears.

“Ghost Door Thirteen Needles…”

Upon seeing Xiao Shun use this unparalleled ancient miracle again, Qin Guangyuan was still amazed, his mouth agape, and he couldn’t help but mutter under his breath.

Ah!

Fan Qun suddenly let out a scream, covering her mouth in shock and pointing at the old lady’s ear, mumbling, “Worm! There’s a worm!”

A water earthworm, also known as a red thread worm or red linear worm, is a water-dwelling oligochaete in the phylum Annelida, with a bright red or meat-red, orange-yellow color…

And the worm that was crawling out of the old lady’s ear was just like this.

The whole body was meat-red, looking extremely disgusting, and it was crawling out of the old lady’s ear.

The thought of this thing possibly being in the head made people shiver, sending chills down their spine.

Even Qin Guangyuan and Zhou Shuqing, who had seen all kinds of complex diseases in traditional medicine, couldn’t help but frown.From NôvelDrama.Org.

“What is this…?” Qin Guangyuan couldn’t help but ask.

At this time, Xiao Shun’s forehead was covered with a layer of fine sweat. He exhaled and said, “Heart-eating Gu.”

Qin Guangyuan and Zhou Shuqing looked at each other.

The former said incredulously, “So are you saying all these patients have been poisoned by this Gu?”

Xiao Shun nodded somewhat tiredly.

“This is truly despicable. I really don’t know which scoundrel did this? They actually used such a vicious method.” Qin Guangyuan, who clearly knew about this kind of poison, said indignantly.

Xiao Shun nodded slightly, “Right now, the most important thing is to cure the patients. As for who did this, I will definitely find them.”

Qiu Jiali looked incredulously at the nauseating worms crawling out one by one from the old lady’s ears, nose, and even the corners of her eyes, and she couldn’t help but feel sick.

“Mr. Xiao, what’s happened to my mother? She’s alright, isn’t she?” Guan Dacheng, a burly man over 1. 8 meters tall, asked in trembling voice, as if he had been frightened.

“Don’t worry, she will be fine once all the Gu worms are cleared out.” Xiao Shun said, exhaling deeply.
