When Bai Jiang was speaking, Aunt Da Hua happened to walk in and heard what she said.
“So I have liver disease.” Aunt Da Hua’s eyes filled with tears.
Upon hearing her, Bai Jiang quickly asked her father to bring Bai Zhen into the room, while she led Aunt Da Hua to the living room and asked her to sit down.
Xu Hua poured a glass of warm water for Aunt Da Hua and said, “Sister Da Hua, don’t worry. Jiang Jiang will find a solution for you.”
She didn’t want to sound too confident because Aunt Da Hua had liver disease!
That was a chronic illness for which even the large hospitals had no solution. Could Bai Jiang have a way?
“Yes, Auntie, since you’re here, I will do my best. Let me examine your pulse,” Bai Jiang said with a smile.
Bai Jiang’s smile had the ability to calm one’s heart, and Aunt Da Hua’s distress suddenly diminished somewhat. She extended her hand for Bai Jiang to examine her pulse.
“Let me take a look at your tongue again,” Bai Jiang said.
She stuck out her tongue and let Bai Jiang examine it for a while. Bai Jiang then understood her illness and asked a few questions.
Aunt Da Hua looked at Bai Jiang anxiously.” Is my illness very serious? Should I go to the town for hospitalization or consider a liver transplant? Is a liver transplant expensive?”
Hearing this, Bai Jiang felt a little heartache.
Her heart ached because Aunt Da Hua must have felt very upset upon hearing about her diagnosis.
After all, this disease was a chronic disease that could not be cured.
Therefore, Aunt Da Hua thought about a liver transplant.
“Aunt Da Hua, your illness isn’t that severe. There’s no need to go for a liver transplant. However, you need to be cautious about your diet.”
“Not severe?” Aunt Da Hua was puzzled. How could her liver disease not be severe?
Bai Jiang noticed her confusion and explained, “It’s like this. Judging from your complexion and the spider nevi on your body, you do indeed have liver disease.”
“I asked you some questions earlier. You have liver inflammation. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, liver inflammation affects the messenger and harms the spleen. Your constitution is weak, and you’ve also taken a lot of heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine.”
“Those medicines only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. While it’s true that you have some excessive liver heat, the medicine has an impact on your liver, which causes your illness to worsen. Additionally, your liver blood is deficient, leading to blood stasis and resulting in these adverse consequences.”
“As long as I treat the root cause, you will recover,” Bai Jiang said.
Although Aunt Da Hua couldn’t understand Bai Jiang’s lengthy explanation, she understood what Bai Jiang said. She would be cured.
Bai Jiang wrote a prescription and handed it to Aunt Da Hua. “Auntie, I also need to perform some acupuncture for you to speed up the recovery.”
“Alright, alright.” Aunt Da Hua was extremely touched.
No matter what, she was saved!
Xu Hua, who was standing at the side, was extremely worried. This was liver inflammation! Bai Jiang claimed to be able to cure it, but even big hospitals couldn’t treat this disease.
What if she couldn’t cure Aunt Da Hua?
She wanted to stop Bai Jiang from using needles on Aunt Da Hua, but before she could say anything, Bai Jiang had already inserted the golden needles into several acupoints.
After approximately 15 minutes, Bai Jiang removed the golden needles.
“Aunt Da Hua, it’s done. Tomorrow, go to the town and get ten doses of medicine. Drink them all in ten days, then come find me.”
Upon hearing Bai Jiang’s instructions, Aunt Da Hua felt a warm feeling inside. “Alright, alright. Bai Jiang, you’re such a good child.”
“How much is the consultation fee?” Aunt Da Hua took out a handful of loose change from her pocket. There were five, ten, and twenty RMB, but she didn’t have the largest denomination, a one hundred RMB bill.
“Aunt Da Hua, these days I’m offering free consultations. No charges.” Bai Jiang smiled and replied.
“But my illness is much more severe than others. Are you not going to charge a consultation fee?” Aunt Da Hua was a simple rural person. In her understanding, doctors are always charged for treatment. Moreover, her illness was much more serious than those Bai Jiang treated at the village entrance. She had also heard that liver disease was an expensive illness to treat.
Although Bai Jiang didn’t have a pharmacy, she was still a doctor, and it was normal for her to charge three to five hundred RMB.
“I really won’t accept it. Auntie, these days are a welfare program in the village. After these days, if you come to me, I will charge you.” Bai Jiang replied with a smiling face, showing no sign of impatience.
“Alright, good child. Thank you!” Aunt Da Hua left, expressing her gratitude.
After she left, Bai Shu and Bai Zhen came out of the room.
