As soon as Lin Ruoxue heard the old lady's call, she hurriedly walked over and grasped her hand, which was as thin as a matchstick.
"Miss Gu, I'm here!"
"Ms. Lin, is that really you? Oh, that's great!" the old lady imdiately burst into tears, "I was afraid I wouldn't get to see you before I die!"
"Miss Gu, don't say that, you can live to be 120 years old!"
Lin Ruoxue said with a smile.
"That would make a monster!"
Though she knew these were just comforting words, the old lady was pleased to hear them:
"What did the old man say just now, is this your husband, Ms. Lin? You got married?"
"Yes, his na is Su Chen."
Lin Ruoxue felt sowhat shy facing the old woman.
Upon hearing Lin Ruoxue's words, the old lady started examining Su Chen closely, then nodded:
"Not bad, he is indeed a handso and talented man. Young man, I'm warning you, if you dare to mistreat her, I will not tolerate it!"
"Who would dare? Usually, it's her who bullies !"
Su Chen too smiled lightly.
"What nonsense are you talking, when have I ever bullied you!"
Lin Ruoxue pouted shyly; isn't it always you who bullies ? My body is still marked by your villainous claws!
"Didn't you the night before last..."
Su Chen's lips curled into a mischievous smile.
"Enough, don't say anymore!"
When Lin Ruoxue heard this, her face flushed red; she indeed had kicked him off the bed the night before last, but that was entirely his fault, wasn't it?
They were only cuddling, and then this guy had the audacity to try and take off her clothes, which left her reacting out of sheer panic!
"Ms. Lin can bully you, but you must not bully Ms. Lin!"
The two elderly people couldn't help but snicker at their conversation, and even Tai Wei nearby wanted to laugh but dared not.
"Yes, yes, what you say makes sense, I wouldn't dare!"
Su Chen quickly begged for rcy.
"Alright, Miss Gu, let him examine your leg now."
Lin Ruoxue didn't want to continue this embarrassing topic, so she suggested.
"This young man can treat illnesses?"
The old lady, like the previous old man, was sowhat skeptical, considering Su Chen looked too young to be a doctor.
"Don't worry, Miss Gu, he might not be good at other things, but he is very good at treating illnesses!"
Lin Ruoxue gave him a warm look.
Su Chen wasn't happy when hearing this; what do you an he might not be good at other things? You haven't even tried, how can you have a say? Isn't that defaming ?
But all he did was slightly pout, not daring to say anything else, as Lin Ruoxue certainly had other tricks up her sleeve, and he wasn't that foolish!
If it were another woman who said he wasn't capable, he would surely want to prove what he could do right away!
"Why wouldn't my old lady trust him, she's gotten old after all!"
The old lady chuckled:
"Young man, then please go ahead."
"No problem, let's get started."
Saying that, Su Chen lifted the blanket slightly off the old lady, exposing her legs, then rolled up her pants a bit to reveal her almost skeletal lower legs.
Su Chen also sat down by the bed, his face serious and focused, showing none of his previously playful deanor.
He first stretched out his hand and pinched that thin, withered leg, then he took out a silver needle and inserted it below the knee joint, withdrew it afterward, and inspected the tip of the silver needle.
Lin Ruoxue and the old man were sowhat perplexed; they didn't know what he was looking at since there seed to be nothing on the silver needle.
Su Chen slightly furrowed his brows, then pinched the old lady's thigh through her pants, and had her sit up to examine her spine.
After a while, Su Chen finally stopped the examination and sighed.
"Husband, how is it? Can she be cured?"
Seeing that he had finished examining, Lin Ruoxue quickly asked him anxiously.
The old man and the young boy, as family mbers, were naturally more anxious. Although they didn't harbor much hope, they still had so expectations.
Su Chen glanced at the few people and said,
"Then I'll just tell the truth,"
"Go ahead, young man, the old lady can withstand it, after all, she's been paralyzed for so many years."
The old lady pretended to be indifferent and said this, although she truly wished to get out of bed and walk; she just didn't want to add any emotional burden to Su Chen and Lin Ruoxue.
"She can be treated, but not completely cured. After the treatnt, she could only walk a bit slower with the aid of a cane," Su Chen said, "because grandma is old and has been bedridden for many years, many of her body functions cannot be restored, I'm sorry."
However, hearing this, the family showed an extrely excited expression!
"Then there's nothing more to say, being able to walk is a huge fortune!"
The old man's tone was unusually excited, as if he wanted to jump up!
"Exactly, why apologize? What you've said is sothing I, the old lady, dared not even dream of. Thank you so much, young man!"
The old lady then tightly gripped the old man's hand:
"Old man, I might be able to walk, I just might be able to walk!"
"Yes, yes, after you're healed, I want to accompany you to walk around and see! You must be so tired after all these years!"
"Alright then, I'll get started!"
Su Chen looked at the family's happy deanor, and he too felt sincerely happy.
Then Su Chen carefully started the acupuncture for the old lady, infusing one or two strands of True Yuan.
The function of the True Yuan is to promote so vitality in the treated area, but given the old woman's age, she couldn't withstand much at once; it had to be done gradually.
After more than an hour of ticulous treatnt, Su Chen finally finished the treatnt and covered the old lady with a blanket.
"Today was just the first ti, I'll treat grandma again the day after tomorrow, and then she'll be fine," Su Chen said, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a smile.
"Old man, I feel like there's so reaction in my leg!"
The old lady moved her legs slightly and surprisingly found that she could move them a little, which made her exclaim with joy.
"Really? That's wonderful!"
The old man was also visibly excited; in fact, he had been sowhat worried while Su Chen was treating her because until then it had only been the young man declaring she could be healed.
As for the outco, it was still an unknown.
At this mont, hearing his wife say her legs felt so response, he finally saw a glimr of hope!
"Mr. Su, you truly are a Divine Doctor!"
The old man tightly grasped Su Chen's hand, his face overflowing with gratitude!
"I dare not accept that title. You all have been so kind to Ruoxue, I'm rely doing what I can!"
Su Chen was simply moved to act by the simple emotions of these villagers...
"Ms. Lin, you truly have married a good man!"

The old man said to Lin Ruoxue with a smile.
"Uncle, don't praise him too much, he's not as great as you're saying!"
Lin Ruoxue pretended to be indifferent, but inside she was very delighted...
