After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 488

Chapter 488: Call Me Dr. Qin
Upon hearing those words, Mrs. Wei felt too grateful to say anything further. She gazed at her, overwhelmed with emotion.

She believed her recent luck had all concentrated in these past two days. Thinking of this, her nose tingled, and she felt on the verge of tears.

Beside her, Wei Xuhong held her hand, silently comforting her, sharing the same joy and gratitude in his eyes.

Grandma Qin, however, didn’t think much of it. She had already planned to find another housekeeper, and Mrs. Wei’s arrival was timely, saving her the trouble.

For her, extending a helping hand was a simple matter, not worth hesitating over. But to the Wei family, it was akin to a lifesaving grace.

Seeing a golden light fall upon Grandma Qin, Zhouzhou’s eyes curved into a happy smile. Indeed, it was important to do more good deeds.

She gobbled up her breakfast, then jumped off her chair, saying, “Fourth Uncle, let’s hurry.” She too wanted to earn some merit.

Qin Ze had informed Liu Hanqiu yesterday about Zhouzhou’s visit, so he was already waiting at the door early in the morning.

As soon as the car arrived, he greeted them with a smile, calling out without hesitation as he saw the chubby little girl, “Master.”

Wei Xuhong and Mrs. Wei, upon hearing this title, felt even more assured, looking at Zhouzhou with admiration. This little girl was truly remarkable.

Zhouzhou clasped her hands behind her back, nodding with a composed air, uttering a faint “Mm.” Though young in age, she exuded an aura of authority.

Liu Hanqiu glanced at her curiously, puzzled by her demeanor, and asked, “Master, I brought you some snacks. Would you like some?” At these words, Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up, her mature facade dropping instantly as she eagerly nodded, “Yes!”

“Come, I bought a lot. I’ll pack some for you to take home later.”

Zhouzhou’s smile grew even brighter, and she cheerfully ran inside.

Qin Ze couldn’t help but chuckle softly, turning to Wei Xuhong and Mrs. Wei to explain, “Uncle Liu has always been this filial.”

The mother and son pair were left speechless. It sounded odd, yet from a generational standpoint, it made sense.

Even though they had long accepted that Zhouzhou was truly Elder Liu’s master, seeing their interaction still left them somewhat dazed.

As Zhouzhou enjoyed her snacks, Qin Ze showed Liu Hanqiu the examination report, discussing the plan for Zhouzhou to oversee the postoperative care. Liu Hanqiu’s brows relaxed immediately.

“With Master here, there will certainly be no problems. We can discuss possible postoperative complications and prepare the necessary medication in advance.”

After all, Zhouzhou’s medicines were made fresh, requiring some time. Zhouzhou nodded, pulling out a small alchemical pot from her bag, “I brought my little cauldron. I can prepare the medicine later.”

“Great,” Liu Hanqiu responded.

As they discussed professional terms, Wei Xuhong and Mrs. Wei listened in bewilderment, yet felt reassured.

Each of the three present was highly skilled in medicine, and together, they were even more formidable.

The specific surgical plan would be determined after Zhouzhou took Wei Hai’s pulse. After sitting for a while at Shennong Hall, they headed to the hospital.

When they arrived, Wei Hai was awake, his emaciated frame and pallor accentuated by frequent blood loss, making him appear older than his years. Yet, upon seeing his wife and child, his eyes brightened.

“Dad!” Wei Xuhong rushed over, skillfully wiping his face with a handkerchief, “How are you feeling today?”

Wei Hai nodded weakly, “I’m fine, don’t worry.” He smiled at his wife, then noticed Zhouzhou and Liu Hanqiu at the door, his face showing surprise, “Elder Liu?”

This was the most renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor in Hua Country, someone many sought after but couldn’t reach. Why was he here?

Mrs. Wei quickly wiped her tears and recounted everything from the beginning. Knowing his wife and child had been bullied, Wei Hai’s eyes flashed with guilt.

Learning that Zhouzhou had helped them, he looked at her with gratitude. When he heard she was also a doctor and even Elder Liu’s master, his expression turned even more astonished.

Without further explanation, Zhouzhou trotted over, placing her small chubby hand on his pulse, then motioned for Liu Hanqiu to join her.

After examining his condition together, they had a clear understanding of his condition.

Liu Hanqiu picked up the notebook hanging at the foot of the bed and said, “Master, please tell me the prescription, and I’ll prepare the medicine.”

“Mm,” Zhouzhou nodded, and a string of medicinal names flowed from her lips. Liu Hanqiu carefully noted them down, leaving Wei Hai dumbfounded.

In contrast, Wei Xuhong and Mrs. Wei, having seen this before, remained much calmer.

Seeing his reaction, Mrs. Wei couldn’t help but smile, whispering, “Don’t be fooled by Zhouzhou’s size; she is very capable. We’ve truly encountered a benefactor this time.”

Though still somewhat shocked, Wei Hai believed her words. Such a young miracle doctor. He thought, perhaps he truly had a chance at survival now.

This realization ignited a spark of hope in his eyes. No one wished to die; he wanted to live, to spend more time with his wife, to see his son get into college.

He still had too many attachments to this world, and he wasn’t ready to leave it behind.

Meanwhile, Zhouzhou finished writing the prescription. Mimicking a doctor, she stood on tiptoe and patted his shoulder, speaking seriously, “Uncle, rest well these next few days. Leave the rest to us. Stay happy; your mood is important too.”

The little girl spoke with the authority of someone much older.

Wei Hai couldn’t help but chuckle softly, “I understand. Thank you, little doctor.” Zhouzhou corrected him, “I’m not called ‘little’. You can call me Dr. Qin.”

Wei Hai chuckled again, “Alright, thank you, Dr. Qin. I appreciate your effort.”

“You’re welcome,” Zhouzhou replied, hands behind her back, puffing out her small chest in an attempt to appear steady and mature.

Yet, the moment she turned away, a wide grin spread across her face, the composed demeanor vanishing completely.

Seeing this, Qin Ze couldn’t help but laugh, and Liu Hanqiu joined in. Their master was both adorable and formidable, indeed the best in the world!

Though the prescription was ready, the actual treatment would still need to be adjusted based on specific conditions.

Qin Ze confirmed the surgical plan with Zhouzhou, scheduling it for three days later. Zhouzhou also handed Wei Hai a bottle of Nourishing Pill, which would help strengthen his body and aid in resisting postoperative infections.

By the time everything was settled, the morning had passed. Zhouzhou, exhausted, slumped over the table, looking pitifully at Qin Ze, “Fourth Uncle, I’m so hungry.”

Qin Ze was about to respond when Mrs. Wei quickly offered, “I live nearby. If you don’t mind, little girl, I can cook for you.”

“Sure!” Remembering her cooking skills, Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up, “Thank you, Auntie!” The little girl, with her cute appearance and clear eyes, easily softened people’s hearts.

In her presence, Mrs. Wei felt less restrained and smiled warmly, “You’re welcome. Let’s go, Dr. Qin and Elder Liu, come along too.”

Liu Hanqiu shook his head, “I won’t join you. I need to prepare the medicinal ingredients. There are a couple that Shennong Hall doesn’t have, so I’ll have to find them elsewhere.”

“Alright, you should go,” Zhouzhou urged, “When you’re done, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

“Okay,” Liu Hanqiu agreed with a smile.

Mrs. Wei nodded, “Thank you, Elder Liu.”

“It’s nothing,” Elder Liu replied, waving his hand as he left.

Watching him go, Mrs. Wei looked down at Zhouzhou, “Let’s be off too.”

“Mm!” Zhouzhou immediately jumped off the chair, holding Mrs. Wei’s hand as they headed out.

Wei Xuhong, considering the Qin family’s refined lifestyle and contrasting it with his own humble home, hesitated to speak.

Sensing his thoughts, Qin Ze gently patted his head, “Let’s go.”

Wei Xuhong glanced at him, then at Zhouzhou’s happy face. Remembering how she had never looked down on him, he felt reassured and followed quietly.

Given the high cost of housing near the hospital, Mrs. Wei could only afford to rent in a nearby village, where the conditions were simple and the environment poor.

As Zhouzhou looked around, she scratched her head, feeling a sense of familiarity.

Just as she was pondering, a clear voice called out nearby, “Chubby Girl!”
