Courtyard House: My max-level medical skills specialize in treating beasts.

Since the leader invited him, He Yudong naturally did not refuse and walked side by side with Xu Shuji.

Xu Shuji's kind and smiling face was once again noticed by the factory workers. Ding Qiunan stayed close to He Yudong the whole way, clinging to him like a little wife.

"Who are those two young men? Why are they so close to Xu Shuji?"

"Could he be a relative of some leader?"

"You guys don't know yet, do you? That's the new head of the medical clinic. Our factory is going to set up a medical clinic, so from now on, if you have a headache or fever, you won't need to go to the hospital; you can just go directly to the clinic!"

"Really? Old Li from the machine repair shop had his leg broken by a steel plate this morning, but I heard that Director He is a highly skilled doctor and set it in no time!"

"Really? That's amazing!"

"Why would I lie to you? Old Li is from the same compound as me! He was bleeding profusely, but Director He just stuck a few acupuncture needles in and the bleeding stopped immediately. Isn't that amazing?"

"Besides, if he weren't capable, would Xu Shuji be so polite to him?"

"That's true, look at Xu Shuji's expression, he's smiling at Director He like he's trying to curry favor!"

The news of Old Li being punished spread throughout the factory in less than half a day.

People are quick to speak and embellish the story, turning He Yudong into a "miracle doctor." Given his current medical skills, this title isn't entirely unfounded.

When he dealt with Old Li, the system directly awarded him 20 merit points, which was quite a lot. The system had its own rules for judging merit points, which He Yudong couldn't quite explain.

However, when treating patients, he integrated the traditions of Vesali and Pharmacist Li more smoothly.

The scene of He Yudong and Xu Shuji having dinner was witnessed by Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong.

Xu Damao felt as if he had a lump of sour plum juice in his heart. He only realized today that He Yudong was the director of the infirmary, and a person favored by the leaders.

But when he caught sight of Ding Qiunan next to He Yudong, his eyes lit up: this girl was the prettiest he had ever seen, and he immediately began to plan how to find out more about her.

He had long disliked Lou Xiao'e for being unable to have children, and also for being from a capitalist family. He had long wanted to dump her and find a virgin to have a son.

Little did he know that he was the one who was truly infertile. In He Yudong's opinion, this problem could be easily cured, but he didn't want to cure this bad seed and give birth to another scourge on the world.

Liu Hai was also secretly plotting something.

He was uneducated but obsessed with becoming an official. Even though he was already a level seven fitter earning seventy or eighty yuan a month, he was still not satisfied and dreamed of becoming an official.

The position of deputy workshop leader was vacant, and he was thinking of vying for it. Seeing that He Yudong was close to the leaders, he figured that if he could get He Yudong to put in a good word for him, the position would be his for the taking.

They weren't the only ones with ulterior motives. Uncle Yi Zhonghai also had his own plans; he might need He Yudong in the future, and he couldn't afford to ruin their relationship.

If Qin Huai were here, he would surely be thinking about how to "suck" He Yudong's blood.

Yu Haitang just reported to the steel rolling mill today. With her outstanding appearance and broadcasting skills, she was immediately appointed as an announcer.

She never expected that the first story to be broadcast would be about He Yudong rescuing workers and the clinic opening tomorrow.

She had her eye on He Yudong for a long time. Such an outstanding man, she had to win him over! Now He Yudong was in the infirmary, and she was at the broadcasting station, both at the Hongxing Factory. She had plenty of time to go over and cultivate a relationship.

After He Yudong and Ding Qiunan finished their meal, they returned to the infirmary, and soon after, the newly arrived medicines were delivered.

The two checked the medicines and arranged them neatly. Then He Yudong wrote down Old Li's medical records, noting the injuries, treatment process, and precautions clearly.

He developed this habit while in the military, keeping records of every case and writing medical notes, which other doctors could learn a lot from by reading them carefully.

Ding Qiunan, like a devoted fan, rested her chin on her hand and stared intently at He Yudong. He Yudong, having just finished writing the medical records and notes, noticed her staring and teased with a smile, "Is there something on my face?"

"No... Brother He, your medical skills are amazing!" Ding Qiunan quickly changed the subject. "If I ever have any questions in the future, I'll definitely learn from you!"

"No problem. Oh, by the way, I'll get you something." He Yudong said, turning around and pulling a thick notebook from the first-aid kit and handing it over.

Ding Qiunan's eyes lit up: "What is it?"

"These are my medical notes and case records from my four years in the military, mostly surgical, but also some internal medicine."

"You can take a look when you have time; you might find it useful." He Yudong's tone was calm, yet earnest.

Ding Qiunan took it, feeling a surge of joy. Opening it, she saw that the handwriting was neat and clear, pleasing to the eye.

The descriptions of symptoms, treatment methods, and case pathology analyses are detailed and professional.

She understood the significance of the notebook and was momentarily moved: "Thank you, Brother He."

He Yudong smiled faintly: "Ask me anytime if you don't understand anything."

"Okay, I won't stand on ceremony with you."

Just then, a striking figure walked in through the door. A sweet-looking girl in a white dress stood there; it was Yu Haitang, He Yushui's classmate and the new announcer at the steel mill's broadcasting station.

"Brother Yudong," Yu Haitang greeted with a smile, "I'm working at the steel rolling mill now, and they were just broadcasting the story of you saving people."

But when her gaze fell on Ding Qiunan, she felt inexplicably tense and a sense of vigilance arose. This girl was just as beautiful as herself, which made her feel a sense of crisis.

"Who is she?" Ding Qiunan asked.

"My sister's classmate, Yu Haitang, works as an announcer at the radio station," He Yudong introduced.

"Hello, I'm Ding Qiunan, the doctor in the infirmary." Ding Qiunan extended her hand gracefully.

Yu Haitang smiled and held her hand, appearing friendly on the surface, but inwardly she was determined to compete with him.

He Yudong observed the atmosphere; although everyone was smiling, it felt like there was an invisible layer of gunpowder.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Dr. Ding." Yu Haitang said warmly, but in her heart she was already scheming. She often dealt with He Yudong in the clinic. If she took advantage of his position, she would have no way to complain.

She secretly resolved that she would go to the infirmary whenever she had free time.

Just then, another person walked in through the door: Xu Damao.

Upon seeing two pretty young women sitting in the infirmary, he inwardly cursed He Yudong's good fortune, but put on a smile: "Yudong, I'm not feeling well, I came to have a look. This must be Dr. Ding, right? Can you take a look at me?"

As he spoke, his eyes swept over Ding Qiunan, and Ding Qiunan immediately became disgusted with him.

Before Ding Qiunan could speak, He Yudong interrupted, "No need to look. Her eyes are lifeless, her complexion is sallow, her forehead is dark, and her steps are unsteady. These are typical signs of kidney deficiency. Coupled with years of drinking, her kidneys are already severely damaged, and her kidney qi is seriously insufficient. In severe cases, it can even lead to infertility."

He wasn't just talking nonsense; he used the traditional Chinese medicine method of observation to diagnose illnesses. He could usually tell what was wrong with a person just by glancing at their symptoms.

"Pfft," Ding Qiunan and Yu Haitang burst out laughing at He Yudong's words.

Xu Damao's face flushed red, and he slammed his teacup on the table: "He Yudong, what nonsense are you spouting? How dare you slander my character!"

"Nonsense?" He Yudong raised an eyebrow, smiling calmly. "Then tell me, you've been married for almost five years, haven't you? How come there's not even a hint of a baby?"

Xu Damao felt guilty, but he still insisted, "That's because Lou Xiao'e can't have children, what does it have to do with me?" He was ashamed to be told he was "infertile" in front of two beautiful girls. He had long hated He Yudong and looked down on the He brothers, so why would he believe in his medical skills?

"How about we make a bet?" He Yudong pulled out a hundred-yuan bill and slammed it on the table. "We'll bet this hundred yuan that we'll go to the First Hospital right now for a checkup. If I'm wrong, the money's yours; if I'm right, you give me the hundred. Are you in?

Xu Damao was outmaneuvered and pointed at He Yudong for a long time without being able to say a word. Finally, he said, "You just wait," slammed the door, and rushed out. He didn't dare to stay any longer.

"Brother Yudong, what you said... is it true?" Yu Haitang asked, blinking. "Xu Damao really can't have children?"

"Of course it's true." He Yudong put away the money, his tone certain. "Traditional Chinese medicine uses the four diagnostic methods of observation, listening, questioning, and palpation. A skilled doctor can make a general diagnosis just by looking at a person's face. A person is a whole, and if there are problems with the internal organs, they will definitely be reflected on the face." He casually gave a few common examples, and Ding Qiunan and Yu Haitang listened with shining eyes, just like two little fangirls.

"Brother He, you'll have to teach me from now on!" Ding Qiunan's eyes sparkled as she softly pleaded, "I also want to learn traditional Chinese medicine."

Yu Haitang felt a pang of sadness and quickly tugged at He Yudong's sleeve: "Brother Yudong, could you take a look at mine too?"

"Me too!" Ding Qiunan said, leaning closer.

"Okay, I'll show you for free." He Yudong smiled and first looked Yu Haitang up and down. The girl blushed under his gaze and lowered her head, not daring to look up.

"Haitang, you've been having trouble sleeping lately, haven't you? You're physically fine, but the insomnia has messed up your period, making it come two or three days early, and you also have some cramps when it comes, right?"

"Huh?" Yu Haitang looked up abruptly, both surprised and delighted. "You guessed it all! Brother Yudong, how do we cure it?"

"It's simple. I'll give you a few acupuncture needles and write a prescription for you. You'll just need to take a few doses of medicine."

"That's great, thank you, Brother Yudong!" Yu Haitang smiled, her eyes crinkling. Although the pain during her period wasn't severe, it was still quite annoying.

Ding Qiunan eagerly pressed, "Brother He, what about me?"

"You get stomach aches occasionally, short-lived and intermittent, right?"

Ding Qiunan was so shocked that she covered her mouth. How could he have seen that? It's simply amazing!

"Brother He, what should I do?"

"It's nothing serious. Just remember to eat breakfast in the mornings from now on, and some millet porridge is the best for your stomach. Food is worse than medicine, got it?"

Ding Qiunan's admiration deepened, and she secretly resolved to learn more about medicine from He Yudong in the future, and also... get closer to him.

"Brother Yudong, when will I get my acupuncture?" Yu Haitang urged.

"Now is fine. Go to the inner room and lie down on the hospital bed."

"Then...should I take off my clothes?" Yu Haitang asked, her face flushed and her voice barely audible.

Ding Qiunan cursed the little vixen in her heart, who was obviously trying to steal her man, but she had to keep a straight face and couldn't say anything.

"No need, just take off your coat and lie down," He Yudong said calmly.

"Hmm." Yu Haitang took off her coat, leaving her in only a dress. Her face was flushed and her eyes were downcast, not daring to look at He Yuzhu. She looked like a young wife waiting to be chosen.

He Yuzhu took out silver needles, disinfected them, and then inserted them into several acupoints on her body. A few needles landed on her abdomen, and Yu Haitang's face turned even redder.

He Yuzhu was so focused that he didn't distinguish between men and women at all, which made Ding Qiunan stare at him with wide eyes, and her fangirl attitude became even stronger.

As soon as the needles were inserted, Yu Haitang felt a warm, tingling sensation spreading through her lower abdomen, which felt incredibly comfortable.

"Lie down for twenty minutes, then I'll remove the needle," He Yuzhu said.

"Um."

"Brother He, I have some medical questions I'd like to ask you. Let's go outside and talk." Ding Qiunan quickly grabbed He Yuzhu's arm and pulled him outside, taking out the medical notes he had given her and flipping through them to find the questions.

Yu Haitang watched the two figures walk away, a sense of loss rising in her heart. Compared to Ding Qiunan, she lacked the identity of a "doctor." If only she had studied medicine earlier!

He Yuzhu patiently answered Ding Qiunan's questions, breaking them down point by point. Ding Qiunan listened intently; this notebook was an invaluable treasure to a doctor.

In fact, He Yuzhu's legacy also includes Li Yaoshi's "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Study on the Eight Extraordinary Meridians", medical notes, Vesali's works, and Sun Lutang's martial arts experience. Any one of these books is a treasure that can impress the industry.

Twenty minutes passed in a flash, and He Yuzhu removed the silver needles from Haitang's body: "How do you feel?"

"It feels so much better now, all warm and cozy." Yu Haitang looked up with a smile. "Brother Yuzhu, you're amazing."

"I'll write you a prescription. We don't have any Chinese medicine here, so you'll have to go to a pharmacy outside to get it. Three doses should be enough." He Yuzhu wrote down a prescription and handed it over.

"Thank you, Brother Yuzhu."

After leaving He Yuzhu's clinic, Xu Damao turned around and found a familiar barefoot doctor who claimed that his ancestors were imperial physicians.

After taking Xu Damao's pulse, he immediately declared, "You're in excellent health, you can have children! If you can't, it's your wife's problem."

He then pulled out a few more doses of medicine: "These will improve your 'skills' and make your life more fulfilling."

"Thanks, Dr. Wang!" Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief. "I knew that little brat He Yuzhu was deliberately trying to trick me! I'll definitely kill him later!"

"I've practiced medicine for decades and never seen a TCM doctor in their early twenties!" The barefoot doctor curled his lip in disdain. "TCM is all about experience; you can't master it in less than a few decades. Young people are unreliable; just ignore what that kid says!"

Xu Damao got even more excited. What did a twenty-year-old kid know about traditional Chinese medicine?

But then I thought, if Lou Xiao'e can't give birth, won't the Xu family line end?

He had already made up his mind: dump Lou Xiao'e and find someone new.

I had originally been interested in Ding Qiunan and Yu Haitang because they were both pretty, but He Yuzhu ruined things, so it's unlikely to work out now.

However, Xu Damao's skills in picking up girls are undeniable; he's sure to find a young, unmarried woman to have his child.

Because Yu Haitang still had to work, she had to leave even though she wanted to stay in the infirmary a little longer. After all, it was her first day at work, and there would be plenty of time in the future. Moreover, compared to Ding Qiunan, Yu Haitang had an advantage, which was He Yushui. She should definitely try to build a good relationship with He Yushui in the future and use a strategy of "surrounding the city from the countryside".

Only He Yudong and Ding Qiunan remained in the infirmary.

However, all the medicines for today have been received, and we'll officially start work tomorrow, so we can go home now.

He Yudong packed his things and prepared to leave.
