Chapter 568: True Debt Paid by the Son
"Doctor Ye, wait! Doctor Ye, please wait~~"
Seeing Ye Xiu walking towards his car, the father ran and shouted after him. Just as Ye Xiu was about to close the car door, the father desperately wedged his arm to stop it.
Ye Xiu turned his head: "Is there something else?"
The father gave an awkward smile: "Doctor Ye, it's already dark, and it's hard to get a ride now. Could you take us to the hospital?"
Ye Xiu checked the time on his phone and showed it to him: "It's very late. I work the day shift and usually don't take orders at night."
The father felt embarrassed, knowing Ye Xiu was still angry. But looking back at his son, who was nearly seizing up, and his wife, who was on the verge of transforming into a tiger, he could only persistently beg Ye Xiu: "Mr. Ye, it's really hard to get a ride at this time. I was wrong earlier, and I apologize. I'll pay extra! If you take us to the hospital, I'll give you an additional fifty. Is that okay!?"
Seeing the father's mercenary face, Ye Xiu felt genuinely displeased. Is this about money?
"Sorry, I won't take the job!"
Ye Xiu refused without hesitation.
The father's face turned extremely awkward and embarrassed, not knowing what to do.
"Move aside!"
The mother couldn't stand it anymore. She stepped forward and slapped her husband on the forehead, knocking him aside.
Only then did Ye Xiu realize that beneath this mother's gentle exterior lay a fierce side.
She glared at her husband: "This is all your lousy idea!"
Then she turned to Ye Xiu with a face full of apology: "Doctor Ye, we were indeed wrong earlier. On behalf of our family, I sincerely apologize to you: I'm sorry. But our mistake shouldn't be borne by the child. Please help us and take a look at him."
The husband, rubbing his forehead, muttered: "You want him to look?"
Swoosh!
The wife's sharp gaze shot over: "Has a donkey kicked your brain? Isn't Doctor Ye a doctor?"
The husband, feeling aggrieved, thought: It seems you were the one who kicked me just now...
Dare not to speak out.
Meanwhile, he remembered that despite calling him Doctor Ye, it hadn't dawned on him that Ye Xiu was indeed a doctor, and an emergency doctor at that.
Last time, a round of acupuncture had relieved his son's convulsions.
Under the threatening gaze of his wife, the father had no choice but to continue begging Ye Xiu, licking his face apologetically. They kept apologizing and pleading, even swearing by their ancestors, vowing to stand up in similar situations in the future and not let good people down.
After a while, Ye Xiu could see that this couple wasn't inherently bad; they were just timid. In essence, they were afraid of getting involved.
Since they had apologized sincerely, Ye Xiu decided not to pursue it further.
After about five minutes of apologies, Ye Xiu smacked his lips: "Alright, I'll help you this once more. Put the child in the car."
"Thank you! Thank you so much! Quick, quick, quick!"
The couple, overjoyed, hurriedly placed the child in the car.
Ye Xiu, in the car, took out a set of silver needles he carried with him.
The couple's eyes lit up upon seeing the silver needles.
They recognized this set of magical needles!
They clearly remembered how, in the hospital, Ye Xiu had performed acupuncture fluidly and effortlessly, obviously a master of acupuncture!
As long as Ye Xiu gave their child a few more needles, he would definitely be okay!
The couple stared intently at the silver needles laid out in front of Ye Xiu, full of anticipation.
Because Ye Xiu had moved so quickly last time, they hadn't even seen the process clearly. Now they had a chance to observe closely.
How fluent and skilled this acupuncture technique was.
Ye Xiu's hand brushed over the cloth bag holding the needles.
Swoosh!
In an instant, he pinched two needles and pulled them out.
Then, with a twist of his wrist.
Swoosh, swoosh!
The needles landed on the boy.
The couple watched in admiration.
Marvelous!
Such proficiency, top-notch!
With Doctor Ye here, it's all set!
However, just as the couple was about to relax.
The boy's mouth twitched, eyes filled with tears, then: "Wah, wah, wah, wah..."
He burst into loud crying.
The couple was stunned. What was going on?
Ye Xiu turned around and chuckled awkwardly: "Sorry, you didn't remind me to turn on the light. It seems... I didn't insert the needles in the right places."
The couple then realized that the car lights hadn't even been turned on.
The entire procedure had been done in the moonlight~~
Now, with the lights on.
Good heavens.
One needle was in the butt, the other in the neck.
The couple was bewildered.
Not only was it wrong, but how could it be this far off?
The father couldn't stand seeing his son suffer and immediately got angry. He glared at Ye Xiu, about to lash out: "You damn..."
Smack!
A mighty slap sent the father crashing into the car window.
The mother glared and said: "Stay put!"
The father, holding his face, felt aggrieved: (ಥ _ ಥ)
The mother turned to Ye Xiu with an apologetic smile: "It's okay if the lights weren't on. They're on now. Doctor Ye, please continue."
Ye Xiu admired her compliance: Not bad, well played~~
Seeing the child had cried enough, Ye Xiu removed the two needles and began to apply the correct acupuncture.
This time, he was even quicker than before.
Fixing his eyes on the child's back, his hand moved over the cloth bag.
Then, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh... Seven or eight silver needles precisely landed on the boy's acupoints on his back.
The father, watching, had a lot to say.
You were faster this time, how come there were no mistakes?
Did you do it on purpose before?
But seeing his wife's menacing look, he silently shut his mouth and squatted quietly in the corner.
About five minutes later.
The child stopped convulsing, his eyes wide open, looking at Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu, seeing this, knew it was okay and nodded: "Alright, he shouldn't have any more episodes today. Take him home. Continue the IV drips for the next two days, and he should be fine."
The mother, overjoyed, hugged her child: "Thank you, Doctor Ye, thank you."
Then the family of three got out of the car.
Ye Xiu had done his best to treat the child's condition, and the mother felt it was inappropriate to ask Ye Xiu to drive them home again, even though Ye Xiu also worked as a Didi driver.
Watching Ye Xiu drive away, the mother sighed: "We should do more good deeds in the future, to accumulate virtue for our child. Husband, don't you agree?"
The father nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, wife is always right. Here, let me hold the child."
As soon as the child was handed to the father, he started crying: "Wah, wah, wah... Daddy tricked me~~ Wah..."
Crying loudly.
The father was bewildered: "... Wha-what's going on?"
The mother snatched the child back, glaring: "Can't you see? Doctor Ye deliberately inserted the first two needles wrong! It was to punish our family. Our son took the punishment for you! You fool, no brains at all! Don't make decisions on your own when I'm not home! You almost caused a big mistake today!"
Then she lovingly held her son, saying with relief: "Thank goodness, thank goodness our son takes after me, as smart as I am!"
The father: "..." (Complete loss of family status~~)
