-------------

After hearing the doctor’s words, Zhou Xiuhua probably understood that she had contracted a "rich man’s disease" and adamantly refused to follow the medical advice to stay in the hospital for observation.

The doctor did not even try to persuade her and didn’t force the patient at all. As soon as he heard her say that her family was poor and had no money, and that she wanted to go home, he immediately nodded in agreement with the old lady’s wishes.

It wasn’t that the doctor was irresponsible or cold-hearted; rather, such incidents happen all the time, every day. The doctor is just another professional who doesn’t have the power to "bemoan the human condition." He could only "leave it to destiny," acting according to whatever the patient says is best.

"Stop talking, I want to go home! I don’t want to stay in the hospital. Old man, let’s go, help me go back!"

Zhou Xiuhua waved her hand to cut off the words on the tips of Zhang Shan Ni and Fan Jiefang’s tongues. Instead, she reached out her aged hand to Xie Tiesheng and rebutted calmly, "The doctor already said, my illness requires long-term, gradual treatment and cannot be cured by staying in the hospital for just a day or two. You all needn’t waste your efforts! As long as I don’t get too upset, I’ll be fine; it’s not a severe illness."

The last sentence seemed to be more for her own reassurance, her voice very low. However, the three people near her all had no problems with their hearing and could clearly make out the muttering in her whisper.

How could it not be a severe illness? It’s only because of the lack of money causing this fuss!

"Alright, alright, whatever mother says, we will follow. But when we get back, mother, you must listen to me and not get upset over every little thing."

"Fine, fine, fine, I’ll listen to you!" Zhou Xiuhua, seeing Zhang Shan Ni so agreeable and willing to comply, immediately reached out a hand to her. With the support of Xie Tiesheng and Zhang Shan Ni, Zhou Xiuhua could still manage to stand.

"This, " Fan Jiefang wanted to continue persuading, but was interrupted by Zhang Shan Ni.

"Brother-in-law, no need to say more. What mother said is right, this illness can’t be cured just by staying in the hospital for a day or two. Besides, she has an aversion to hospitals, so let’s not force her. What’s most important for her now is to maintain a good mood, which is beneficial for her condition."

Zhang Shan Ni had noticed her father-in-law glancing at her disapprovingly when she nodded. Apparently, he thought she was being unfilial?

This won’t do. She can afford to be misunderstood by others, but she cannot let her father-in-law misunderstand her. Therefore, Zhang Shan Ni explained in detail to everyone.

They were still blocked in the doctor’s office, so the doctor heard everything. Seeing Zhang Shan Ni’s unique insights, he even nodded in agreement, "Elder, what this comrade says is correct. For Mom’s illness, it’s all about long-term rest, staying calm, maintaining a good mood, eating well, and sleeping well."

Upon hearing this, Xie Tiesheng immediately began to inquire in detail about the disease’s cause and what to avoid with the doctor.

Zhang Shan Ni was familiar with the illness, but the original host had never encountered it. Therefore, she did not stop her father-in-law from asking questions and even occasionally added her own, asking the doctor to give the four of them a general understanding of the prevention and treatment of the disease.

Seeing that it was already time for the doctor to leave and that he had been talking non-stop for over an hour in the morning when there was only one patient, his throat was hoarse and on the verge of inflammation, showing how much he had spoken.

But he wasn’t impatient at all. Knowing that the patient’s family greatly valued his advice, as a doctor, he could only be respectful and meticulous. Why would he be annoyed by the family asking many questions?

Once Zhou Xiuhua had caught her breath, she refused to let her daughter-in-law lift and carry her in and out, preferring to be assisted by Xie Tiesheng and Zhang Shan Ni. However, most of the support was provided by Zhang Shan Ni, and Xie Tiesheng only exerted about twenty percent of the effort.

Zhang Shan Ni dutifully supported her mother-in-law, but internally she scoffed: It would only take a minute or two to carry her, but the old lady insisted on walking by herself, taking more than ten minutes just to reach the doctor’s door. The old lady’s reasoning was that she didn’t want to tire out her daughter-in-law, yet Zhang Shan Ni felt not the slightest bit of gratitude.

Because supporting her the whole way was even more tiring than simply carrying her!

Back at Brother-in-law Fan’s house, Xie Jinghong had already prepared lunch. It was clearly past eleven o’clock, and after running around all morning, Zhang Shan Ni was indeed starving!
