Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1940 Three Difficult Problems
That noon, Bian Mu was sitting under the window drinking water after getting off work when he looked up and saw the slightly older female social worker walking in with several men.

Bian Mu quickly got up to greet him.

After introducing themselves, they learned that the community director had brought a female lawyer to discuss the retirement issues of the elderly man at the library.

Dr. Gong and the others quickly prepared some tea, snacks, and fruit for the guests. Amidst the laughter and conversation, Bian Mu steered the conversation to the main topic.

"That old gentleman is quite pitiful. He's probably been subjected to a lot of verbal threats from his daughter-in-law and son-in-law, which has caused him to feel disheartened, lose his courage, and have difficulty maintaining his kidney energy... These problems have been present for a long time, and to a considerable degree. This has ultimately prevented the old man from completely burning off the various 'waste' in his body on his own. Over time, these minor issues have accumulated and become serious! The old man's overall health has deteriorated considerably. If we don't pay attention... it won't be long before he either suffers mild paralysis or... well, you know... If you don't know, fine, but since we've encountered this situation, and you're all so enthusiastic and respectful of life, shouldn't we sit down together and resolve this matter? Just to clarify beforehand, I don't even know the old man's full name yet, and we were complete strangers before. The reason I'm making this suggestion is purely out of a professional physician's social responsibility. I hope you can understand." Bian Mu's eloquence had improved somewhat recently, and he spoke quite convincingly.

"Oh! It really is like hearing thunder in silence! There are so many things we didn't notice at all. It's all thanks to Bian Mu's amazing skills that he could tell just by taking a pulse. Amazing! Afterwards, we secretly visited the surrounding neighbors and their relatives. Some things were indeed as Dr. Bian predicted. That house is now a genuine school district property. Most of the daughters-in-law and sons-in-law went there for the school district property. They are all unwilling to live with the old man, and they have been intentionally or unintentionally trying to undermine him behind his back. The old man is timid, introverted, and cares a lot about his reputation. He would rather keep some things to himself than tell his relatives and friends. Let's brainstorm today and try our best to completely dispel the fear that has been buried in the old man's heart for many years, so that the old man can return to a normal mindset and spend his happy old age in peace." Well! That male director of the community is quite eloquent. He guessed half of Bian Mu's thoughts in just a few words.

"At my age... I don't have much experience, so I'll have to listen to you all on how to proceed!" Bian Mu said with a smile.

"How about this? The community can step in and put the house under trusteeship on the grounds that the children are not taking good care of the old man and are worried that something might happen to him while he's at home. If the old man becomes disabled in the future, the relevant departments have the right to dispose of the house and use the money to support him in his old age. I've handled several similar cases. At first, no one wanted to go to such lengths. He has both a son and a daughter, why bother? But... life is just like that. It's hard for the son and daughter to speak openly, but they can't stand the interference of two outsiders all the time. In the end, it's the old man who suffers." At this point, the female lawyer interjected.

Upon hearing this, everyone, including Bian Mu, was stunned.

"This...is this really going to work? Won't their children sue us in court?!" The older female community worker immediately questioned.

"Psychological intimidation! A subtle form of torture. One day the old man won't be able to take it anymore. The house will most likely be lent to them first. The old man's pension probably won't last long. Just rent him a small place outside, and before he knows it, the house will be theirs. There's nothing to worry about with the lawsuit. We've been doing good deeds from the beginning, and we have nothing to hide. Besides, my colleagues and I will have contingency plans in place so we won't be caught off guard!" The female lawyer was very articulate, revealing a lot of valuable information in just a few words.

After a moment of silence, everyone felt that this was indeed a feasible plan.

“Once the house issue is resolved satisfactorily, the old gentleman will naturally feel at ease. I will go over and help him with his treatments regularly. Gradually, he will recover almost completely. All that’s left is for him to exercise diligently,” Bian Mu replied with a smile.

After discussing it, everyone voted by raising their hands and ultimately decided that entrusting the house to the relevant department was indeed a more realistic option.

……

Not long after, the relevant agreements were signed. The old man's children, realizing they had no chance of getting a school district property, secretly inquired around and were surprised to discover that the deal had been negotiated by the most famous and popular traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the area. They were eager to cause trouble for Bian Mu at the doctor's clinic. Upon further inquiry, they learned that their father's case involved relevant departments, and that Bian Mu had apparently powerful connections. Ultimately, they acquiesced.

With this, the old man felt much more at ease, and with Bian Mu's spiritual treatment, his health gradually improved day by day...

……

The deadline for setting the questions arrived. That evening, Bian Mu pondered the three sets of questions repeatedly for a long time before finally clicking the mouse to send the relevant encrypted files to Nie Yawen.

The first question is a theoretical discussion, with no word limit. Please have your three students discuss the difference between "Yan Yu" and "Han Ning" from a medical perspective, and why the main source of illness today is "Yan Yu". Also, please briefly discuss the original medical principles of the pathogenesis of "Yan Yu", the more detailed the better.

The second question was a clinical diagnosis. Bian Mu specifically cited the actual medical case of a person in their seventies and asked his three apprentices to explain the physical and dialectical relationship between hypertension and pulse, so as to ultimately determine the final medical plan.

The last task was a practical problem. Bian Mu required the three of them to fully recover from a lame rabbit using acupuncture, with only three hours to complete the recovery. This was an extremely difficult task, as the rabbit's injuries were artificially created by Bian Mu using acupuncture and bone-setting techniques.

Bian Mu had just finished making a call to inform Nie Yawen when Nie Yawen called back shortly afterward.

"Two of them were way too difficult! Especially the last one, I don't think any of the three of them could finish it." On the phone, Nie Yawen said she wouldn't be able to pass that level!

"No way! The last question was actually the easiest. If it were me, I would definitely do the last one first. Seriously, it just tests your basic skills. It's a freebie! The hardest one was actually the first question."

"No way! They're all incredibly learned; they can spout nonsense without anyone noticing. Besides, all three of them have doctoral degrees, so this is no big deal for them. Even if my grandfather were to grade the papers himself, he wouldn't find any particularly obvious flaws in the first question," Nie Yawen continued to argue over the phone.

"What if we link this to cancer and create an answer?!"

Upon hearing this, Nie Yawen immediately fell silent on the phone.
