Siheyuan: The prosperous era starting from being a doctor

Chapter 483 The Third Uncle Changes People and Malignant Breast Tumor

Listening to the increasingly lively sounds outside.

The excitement in Jia Zhangshi's heart became increasingly difficult to suppress.

She was proud of her brilliant idea.

So he sent his granddaughter away and then mysteriously pulled his daughter-in-law into the bedroom.

"Mom, what's wrong? Why are you carrying locust flowers?"

Qin Huairu asked curiously.

My mother-in-law likes to talk nonsense all the time, whether there's something to it or not.

"Huai Ru, Mom has something to tell you. Our Xiao Dang is seventeen years old this year and will be able to find a partner soon."

Her grades aren't particularly good right now, and since there are no exams now, she can't go to university. Maybe we should find her a husband sooner rather than later.

Jia Zhangshi looked at her daughter-in-law and said softly.

She knew perfectly well that, despite her ability to cause all sorts of trouble at home, her daughter-in-law usually wouldn't dare to do anything to her.

But when it involves several children, things are different.

Especially when it comes to important matters like marriage, it's not something she can decide.

Therefore, they used a consultative tone to test the other party's attitude.

"Mom, Xiaodang is only seventeen years old, it's still early."

It's perfectly normal for girls in the city to start looking for partners in their early twenties these days.

Besides, the new society advocates free love. From now on, we only need to oversee their marriages; we don't need to interfere too much.

Qin Huairu said seriously.

Although she came from a rural area and never went to school as a child, she did attend a literacy class for a while after the country launched a literacy campaign.

Besides being able to write a few hundred words and read some simple books, he has also learned some profound principles.

Simultaneously.

I haven't enjoyed much happiness these past few years following Jia Dongxu.

Even if she doesn't usually complain, she sometimes thinks that if she were born in the new society, would she be able to find a better man?

Therefore, she does not intend to have too many requirements regarding the marriages of her three children.

As long as the two people get along well, and the person is not a bad person and is capable, that's fine.

"Oh dear, free love is unreliable. Look at Liu Guangtian in the backyard, he tried to have free love, and what happened to him? He suffered the consequences."

I think arranged marriages by parents and matchmakers are still the most reliable. After all, we've had more experience than they have, so we're good at judging people.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law disagreed, Jia Zhangshi quickly tried to persuade her.

The more she thought about it, the more suitable it seemed to her.

If it succeeds, the Jia family will become incredibly wealthy.

It would be beneficial for her, her son, and her grandson as well.

The Jia family will be able to turn their lives around completely.

"Mom, is there something you're hiding from me?"

Seeing her mother-in-law constantly trying to persuade her, Qin Huairu asked suspiciously.

As an intelligent woman, her status and education limited her.

If she lived in later generations, her achievements would certainly be remarkable.

"Huai Ru, Mom will tell you the truth."

Here's what I'm thinking: our little Dang is about the same age as the two boys from Wang Mengde's family next door. If he could date one of them...

Not only will she be able to enjoy a life of luxury every day from now on, but our family will also benefit from it.

Putting everything else aside, doesn't Wang Mengde know a lot of important people? It shouldn't be difficult for him to pull strings and get Dongxu and Banggeng transferred back to the city.

And while I can't say I'll eat meat every meal, I can definitely have it every few days.

Jia Zhangshi had no choice but to voice her thoughts.

There's no other way; if I don't tell the truth, my daughter-in-law will definitely figure it out, so it's better to be honest.

"You mean the Yuan brothers, Yuan Di and Yuan Xun?"

Qin Huairu asked with some surprise.

These two brothers are now seventeen or eighteen years old.

They studied medicine under Wang Mengde from a young age, while also keeping up with their schoolwork.

It's said that he's ranked among the top students in the school, and it's confirmed that he'll be able to attend the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine this September.

He had a solid foundation in medicine and also had the connection with Wang Mengde.

I'm sure I'll become a doctor someday.

Moreover, he is a doctor in a major hospital.

If he were to get together with his own daughter, that would certainly be a good thing.

After all, a woman marries a man for food and clothing.

If I marry into the Wang family, I'll never have to worry about food or clothing.

On the contrary, they are better off than most families.

"But those two brothers are so eligible, would they even be interested in our little Dang?"

Qin Huairu said somewhat uncertainly.

Wang Mengde's family was among the wealthiest in the entire capital.

As neighbors living side-by-side, they knew everything about each other.

Every day at mealtimes, you can smell the aroma of meat. Everyone in the family is dressed smartly and in new clothes. They also have plenty of daily necessities.

Simultaneously.

Wang Mengde's family was also very kind to their relatives.

He Shengnan's family benefited immensely from this.

The brothers and sisters were given the best jobs, and every now and then they would send some rare supplies.

To be honest, all the neighbors in the alley were extremely envious.

Furthermore, it is said that when the Wang brothers got married, they gave the bride's family a lot of nice things before the wedding.

There were two to three hundred catties of grain alone, as well as a large amount of pastries, snacks, candies, and so on.

Needless to say, there were also a thick stack of tickets and coupons.

"Huai Ru, Xiao Dang and Huai Hua both look a bit like you. They are very beautiful. Everyone who sees them will praise them. Maybe Wang Mengde's two sons will take a liking to them."

I think we should talk to Xiaodang and let her get to know the other person better.

"I'm full of confidence," Jia Zhangshi said.

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu are both very good-looking.

One is pretty and the other is delicate; with such good genes, it would be hard for their daughter not to be beautiful.

"Let's give it a try. It'll be great if it works, but it's okay if it doesn't."

Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

She was persuaded by her mother-in-law.

If it were someone else's son, she would definitely reject him without even thinking.

But this is Wang Mengde's son. With these conditions, as long as word gets out, countless girls would be eager to marry him.

It's approaching noon.

Sha Zhu and his two apprentices managed to prepare several tables of food and drinks just in time.

Wang Mengde's house wasn't big enough, so he borrowed their living room.

Zhao Yali and Yang Liu's family members sat around the octagonal table, chatting and drinking tea while eating snacks.

The two brides were dressed up beautifully, and with the addition of some accessories, they dazzled the young people who came to watch the excitement.

The happy occasion was completed smoothly and in a lively atmosphere.

A week later.

No. 95, Nanluoguxiang.

Today, we are preparing to hold another hospital-wide meeting.

Since Wang Yuanchao and his brother got married, Wang Mengde definitely won't be coming to this house as often anymore.

Therefore, he, the third uncle in the courtyard, naturally had to step down.

Therefore, a general meeting of the entire college is being held today to elect a new Third Uncle.

"Dad, do you think I can become a grandpa?"

forecourt.

Yan Jiecheng glanced at Yan Bugui, then asked in a low voice.

Although the steward didn't offer many benefits, he had a good reputation. Therefore, many people wanted to run for office.

He was one of them.

"You're probably in a bit of trouble this time. Old Liu won't agree to us having two stewards at the same time."

This could threaten his position.

Yan Bugui took a sip of thin porridge and then said in a deep voice.

As his neighbor for decades, he knew Liu Haizhong's personality all too well.

"Dad, then there's no one else in our hospital who can take on this important task."

Wang Mengde has moved out completely. Uncle Yi had been dismissed before, and given his age, he certainly no longer wants to be the manager.

As for the others, none of them are up to par; we can't leave one vacant.

Yan Jiecheng said somewhat unconvinced.

Ever since Wang Mengde announced his intention to step down as the Third Uncle a week ago, he has been pondering this matter.

Suddenly he realized that there really wasn't a young man in the courtyard who was better than him.

Therefore, ambition arose.

"We'll see when the time comes; there's no point in saying all this now."

Yan Bugui glanced at his eldest son and then said.

soon.

Dozens of neighbors gathered at the Intermediate People's Court.

As usual, everyone sat or stood, forming a circle around a small square table.

Liu Haizhong sat smugly at the head of the table, Yan Bugui sat to his left, and Wang Mengde stood at the back of the crowd.

He had already stated that he had no intention of getting involved in the affairs of this courtyard anymore.

Wang Weiguo and Yang Liu, on the other hand, sat together in the middle of the crowd.

From now on, the two of them will live in this house, while Wang Yuanchao and his wife will live in Yu'er Hutong.

"Ahem, let's start the meeting now."

Liu Haixue adopted the tone of a leader speaking at a meeting, which he had learned at the steel rolling mill, and then loudly proclaimed:
"Because Mengde moved away, he voluntarily offered to resign from his position as the Third Uncle."

Old Yan and I discussed it and decided that it would be better to choose another third uncle.

"Does anyone want to volunteer? Please stand up now and say so."

After saying that, he looked around, wondering who would step forward.

The neighbors looked at each other, but none of them stepped forward.

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

This situation made Liu Haizhong feel incredibly embarrassed.

Just as he was about to say something more, Sha Zhu suddenly stood up and shouted:

"I'll be the third uncle."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd erupted in uproar.

To everyone's surprise, Sha Zhu stepped forward and volunteered.

This guy usually has a foul mouth, and everyone in the compound, except for Wang Mengde's family and Yi Zhonghai and his wife, hates him.

Therefore, dissenting voices soon emerged.

"Silly Zhu, stop fooling around. We're having a big meeting to discuss serious matters right now."

"Exactly, if you want to show off, you should wait until after the meeting."

"Shazhu, your son has wet his pants. Go change him quickly."

Several neighbors chimed in with their own jokes.

"Hmph, I really want to be this third master."

In our courtyard, besides me, there really isn't anyone else suitable.

Sha Zhu didn't care about what others thought and continued talking to himself.

last night.

Yi Zhonghai had approached him, analyzed the situation in the courtyard for him, and then urged him to come out today to compete for the position of the Third Uncle.

Although Lao Yi is old, he can no longer act as the manager.

But Sha Zhu is practically his own son, so it's like the meat is rotten in the pot.

"Who says there isn't a suitable person? Aren't I one?"

At this moment, Yan Jiecheng saw that the time was ripe and stood up and spoke.

He and Sha Zhu have a grudge over 'stealing a wife'.

He was the one who met Yu Li first, but in the end, it was Sha Zhu who borrowed Hu.

Now they're even trying to steal his third uncle's property; it's like all the old and new grudges have piled up.

"You? No."

Sha Zhu shook his head and said disdainfully, "They want two people in one family to be the big bosses. Are they trying to control everything in the courtyard?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Haizhong realized what was happening.

Yes, if Yan Jiecheng were to become the manager, the ratio would be two.

Even if he becomes an old man from now on, he won't be able to make decisions about anything in the courtyard anymore.

So he began to speak:
"Jiecheng, Lao Yan hasn't retired yet, and you're already thinking about taking over. You shouldn't get involved for now."

The other neighbors were also whispering among themselves.

Everyone was in complete agreement: the Yan family father and son should not both be on stage.

Seeing the strong opposition, Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to slink away and remain silent.

finally.

Because there were no other competitors, Sha Zhu actually became the third uncle in charge of the courtyard.

Seeing his smug look, the neighbors felt as uncomfortable as if they had swallowed a fly.

"Mengde, don't go back yet. We're in a good mood today, so I'll prepare a few dishes for dinner and we can have a drink together."

Seeing that Wang Mengde was about to leave, Sha Zhu quickly grabbed his arm.

no way.

Wang Mengde happened to have nothing else to do, so he reluctantly agreed.

He definitely won't be coming over often in the future; who knows when we'll have our next drink together.

forecourt.

Auntie Er was tending to the vegetable patch in front of the door.

She grew angrier the more she thought about it, and suddenly stood up, then, unsurprisingly, fainted on the ground.

"Mengde, how is your second aunt's health?"

Yan Bugui looked at Wang Mengde with a nervous expression.

He was afraid something bad might happen, after all, a trip to the hospital would cost a lot of money.

"Uncle, Auntie's fainting isn't a big problem. It's mainly because she squatted for too long and then suddenly stood up, which caused her to faint."

"Just rest well for a while, and you'll be fine."

Wang Mengde carefully considered his words before speaking.

After saying that, he gave Yan Bugui a wink and then walked out.

Seeing his actions, Yan Bugui's heart sank.

They realized there might be bad news.

Once outside, Wang Mengde looked around and, finding no one there, told the truth:
"Uncle, when I was taking Aunt's pulse just now, I discovered that she has another illness."

"Mengde, what exactly is the illness, and how serious is it?"

Yan Bugui asked, his voice trembling.

"I suspect it is a breast tumor, and it is malignant. However, it is in its early stages, so if it is treated appropriately, the chances of recovery are very high."

Wang Mengde explained simply.

It's only because of his excellent medical skills that other doctors might not have been able to detect it, since it had just grown.

Even current CT scans might not be able to detect it.

"What? A breast tumor, and a malignant one at that!!!"

Yan Bugui's face changed drastically, and he said in a trembling voice, "Mengde, you have to save your second aunt!"

After he finished speaking, his face turned extremely pale, and he gripped Wang Mengde's arm tightly with both hands.
