Yun Zheng took the cupping jar and sewing needle from Wu Lanshi, then asked her to fetch matches. She then had Qin Shen help remove Wu Gengsheng’s shirt.
The villagers stood there, eager to see the results.
Yun Zheng lit a match, circled it inside the jar, and pulled it out, using a flash-fire method to attach the jar to several points on Wu Gengsheng’s skin. Then, using the sewing needle, she slowly pricked the veins at Quchi and Weizhong points[1] to draw 1ml of blood, and then pricked the veins at Shaoshang, Yuji, and behind the ear[2] to draw 2ml of blood. She then stood up straight and said, “Wait 15 minutes.”
Everyone was amazed by her smooth and efficient movements. Putting aside everything else, even a barefoot doctor couldn’t have her skill with cupping!
Dong Qiang was still disdainful. What was the point of using such small needles to prick and draw so little blood? It was obvious that Qin Yunzheng was using Wu Gengsheng as a guinea pig!
When the time was up, Yun Zheng removed the cupping jars. “Uncle Wu, try taking a few breaths now.”
During the cupping process, Wu Gengsheng felt nothing except heat, and he thought it was useless. But the moment the cups were removed, the air that had been stuck in his chest for years suddenly flowed out, as if he had been reborn.
“This method is truly miraculous! I’m not short of breath at all anymore, it feels so good!”
Wu Gengsheng jumped up excitedly. Not only did he feel less short of breath, but the wheezing sound in his throat was also gone. He even wanted to sing a song.
“Really? Father Wu, you’re not feeling bad anymore?” Wu Lanshi knew how troublesome her husband’s asthma was. He could only take medicine every day to stay alive, suffering terribly. She hadn’t seen her husband looking so energetic in a long time. It seemed that the method Yun Zheng had seen in the medical book really worked!
The villagers were instantly in an uproar. They couldn’t believe that this method could really treat asthma, and it didn’t cost a penny. From now on, no one would be afraid of getting asthma.
Qin Shen gave Yun Zheng a thumbs up, “Fifth Sister, you’re so smart!”
He had never seen anyone know how to cure an illness just by relying on medical books. From now on, if anyone said his little sister was stupid, he would beat them to a pulp. His little sister was the most awesome person in the world!
“I just followed the treatment methods in the medical books,” Yun Zheng said modestly.
“However, this can only relieve the pain caused by asthma. If you want to cure it completely, you need to combine it with traditional Chinese medicine for half a year.”
“Zheng girl, my asthma can be cured?” Wu Gensheng almost burst into tears. He couldn’t even imagine it. He felt that being free from the suffering of asthma was already a great blessing.
“In the end, it all boils down to taking medicine!” Dong Qiang sneered, his face full of arrogance. “The Wu family, you’d better think this through. Who knows if her treatment is just temporary? If it gets worse, I won’t offer such a good dowry to marry your daughter again.”
Wu Lanshi looked troubled, but Wu Gengsheng directly gave them the order to leave. “I’m fine as long as I feel comfortable. Dong Qiang, you should just call off your marriage with Wan Jun.”
“Why should I? You’ve already agreed. Aren’t you just playing with people?”
Dong Qiang’s face turned green. He had only been putting on airs, but he didn’t expect Wu Gengsheng to go back on his word. He had been coveting Wu Wanjun for a long time. Such a tender young girl, how exciting it would be to sleep with her. He wanted to take her home for some fun.
“Aunt Lan, your man needs money for medicine too! Just marry Wan Jun to me, and I can take full responsibility. This is something the Qin family can’t help you with!”
But Wu Gensheng didn’t give Wu Lanshi a chance to speak. “Marriage is a matter of mutual consent. We only agreed to your conditions out of necessity. Anyway, we haven’t received your betrothal gifts yet, so it doesn’t count.”
The duck that was almost in the mouth had flown away.[3] Dong Qiang was unwilling to accept this and demanded an explanation.
Qin Shen directly revealed his solid fist, “If you’re not satisfied, come and fight.”
“Fine, well done, Qin family! Just you wait!”
Dong Qiang spat out the words through gritted teeth, completely harboring resentment towards the Qin family. He ruthlessly uttered a sentence and stormed off in anger.
“Zheng girl, thank you so much.” Wu Gensheng said gratefully, then added with shame, “My wife and I had no choice but to arrange Wanjun’s marriage with Dong Qiang, almost breaking up your brother and Wanjun, this loving couple. From now on, our Wu family only recognizes your Qin family as our in-laws. Regardless of whether your Qin family has any betrothal gifts, as long as Wanjun is willing, she can marry your brother at any time!”
Qin Shen and Wu Wanjun were both very excited, exchanging glances before blushing and looking away. But Qin Shen scratched the back of his head and grinned foolishly, “That won’t do. The proper etiquette cannot be neglected. We can’t let Wanjun suffer any injustice. Let’s stick to what we agreed before. Give me a year, and I will definitely give Wanjun a magnificent wedding!”
