151: Acupuncture treatment

It is said that a daughter who is married off is like spilled water. At first, Yans Mother didn't believe it, but now, hearing Yan Ni say this, she did.

Yans Mother said with a grim expression, "Yan Ni, if you insist on marrying this mentally ill person, then I won't stop you, and I don't want to. At worst, your father and I will just pretend we never had you."

"But we will absolutely not refund the bride price!"

"You are over twenty years old now. Even if I calculate that we spent ten thousand yuan on you for every year you've lived, wouldn't it be reasonable for us to take these two hundred thousand yuan?"

"In short, no matter what you say today, I will absolutely not refund this money. Think it through carefully."

Hearing Yans Mother say this, the netizens in the live stream couldn't help themselves.

"Oh my god, there are actually parents like this in the world?"

"I found it strange before, why the bride price given by the groom's side would go into the mother-in-law's pocket. Shouldn't it be given directly to the bride? Now, as expected, the true colors are revealed."

"To sever ties with one's own daughter for two hundred thousand yuan, is this something a human can do?"

"Brother, you don't know that many places in our country are still very poor. Two hundred thousand in cash, for many families, is actually a considerable sum."

Yan Ni also didn't expect her mother to say such words for two hundred thousand yuan.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, if you insist on not refunding these two hundred thousand as a bride price, then just pretend you never gave birth to me."

Yan Ni looked at Mother Lan.

"Mom, this two hundred thousand yuan will be on my tab. I will work hard in the future to pay you back."

Mother Lan was moved to tears.

With such a good daughter-in-law, how could she bear to make Yan Ni pay back the money?

Mother Lan held Yan Ni's hand and said, "Silly child, as long as you two can live well in the future, that's all that matters."

"Your father and I just hope that you two can live your lives peacefully in the future. Our family will be of one mind and one effort."

"Your father and I can still work for a few more years. Our family will pay back your debt together, and then we'll all live well together."

As soon as Mother Lan said this, Yans Mother was instantly made to appear even more unreasonable.

Seeing Mother Lan hugging Yan Ni and crying, Qin Jiang quickly spoke up from the side, "Although it's very touching, I want to say that it's completely unnecessary."

"Didn't I just say? I can cure Lan Zhiqiang's illness."

"As long as he follows my medical advice, takes good care of himself, rests well, and comes back for Acupuncture check-ups every two months, he will become a normal person again, just like before, with no side effects."

Qin Jiang felt a little tired.

Was what he said not clear enough?

Lan Zhiqiang wasn't going to be mentally ill forever, yet they were getting so emotional that Liu Yan's eyes were almost swollen from crying.

Hearing Qin Jiang say this, Mother Lan and Yan Ni were pleasantly surprised.

"Excuse us, Dr. Qin, we were just too emotional."

"Then... can the treatment begin now?"

"Sure, have him sit properly, and I'll start needling him now."

Qin Jiang took out his needle pouch and pulled out three silver needles from it.

When they saw the length of the silver needles, everyone's expressions changed.

Such long needles, could they be inserted into the head?

Under everyone's surprised gazes, Qin Jiang located the acupoints and began to insert the needles.

Generally speaking, during Acupuncture, the patient does not feel pain, only some soreness and distension.

However, to stimulate Lan Zhiqiang's brain nerve area and restore his neurological function, Qin Jiang flicked the silver needle after inserting it.

With that one flick, the silver needle vibrated at high speed.

Lan Zhiqiang immediately said, "Sore... so sore, my neck is so sore!"

Lan Zhiqiang was a person who could endure hardship, but at this moment, even he felt the soreness and distension and couldn't help but cry out, which showed how painful this soreness was for him.

"Bear with it, it'll be fine in a moment."

Mother Lan and Yan Ni also watched from the side with great heartache.

Yan Ni even directly held Lan Zhiqiang's hand and comforted him, "Husband, be good, it'll be fine in a moment, just bear with it for a bit."

Hearing Yan Ni say this, Lan Zhiqiang gritted his teeth, and even though the veins on his neck bulged, he still endured without saying a word.

Qin Jiang couldn't help but shake his head from the side.

There is always a portion of men in this world who are born henpecked.

They do whatever their wives tell them to do, and as long as it's good for their wives, no matter how hard or tired they are, it's worth it.

But then again, a woman like Yan Ni is indeed worth him doing that.

Because Yan Ni's love for him was no less than Lan Zhiqiang's love for her.

Yan Ni was a woman who could sever ties with her own mother for Lan Zhiqiang; generally, women really couldn't do such a thing.

Five minutes later, the feeling of soreness and distension disappeared, replaced by numbness and pain.

If this feeling were to be described specifically, it would be like someone poking you directly with a taser, except the current was intermittent.

Lan Zhiqiang's whole body immediately tensed up, his entire body stiffened and began to convulse and tremble, looking as if he was about to have another epileptic seizure.

Yans Mother saw this scene and said gloatingly from the side, "Did you all see that? His epilepsy is about to act up again. Someone quickly go grab some grass for him and stuff it in his mouth."

Hearing Yans Mother say this, Qin Jiang glanced at her.

"Are you the doctor or am I the doctor?"

"I, the proper doctor, am standing right here, and you're talking about grabbing grass and stuffing it in his mouth. Where did you get such a folk remedy?"

"Either shut up, or get out of my Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic. You choose."

As soon as Qin Jiang said this, the netizens in the live stream immediately started sending gifts.

"Dr. Qin is simply speaking my mind, hahaha, I wanted to say that too just now!"

"This woman is really annoying, such a snob, and she loves to make sarcastic remarks from the side!"

"Thankfully, Yan Ni didn't follow her mother's example, otherwise her life would have been ruined."

Yans Mother naturally didn't want to leave.

She was still planning to stay in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic to see if Lan Zhiqiang could be cured.

She also knew that she couldn't provoke Qin Jiang, so she could only huff and close her mouth, saying nothing more.

Another five minutes passed, and Lan Zhiqiang completely relaxed; the discomfort in his body also disappeared.

Qin Jiang removed the silver needles from his head, then said to Yan Ni, "His epilepsy has been suppressed by me. As long as he rests well and doesn't have too much stress, it shouldn't recur within two years."

Lan Zhiqiang felt refreshed and his mind was clearer and more awake than ever before.

Qin Jiang went into the pharmacy to prepare the medicine, and a few minutes later, he brought out several bags of Chinese medicine and handed them to Lan Zhiqiang.

"Your illness is neither big nor small. Remember my words, don't try to shoulder everything by yourself."

"You are the pillar of this family. If you collapse, then this family, and these two women you love, will all cease to exist."
