35: Chapter 35 Marry a Man
35 -35 Marry a Man
Tang Jianguo struck Tang Chuxia on the head.
“Die with resentment?
Do you still have feelings for that beast Hu Mingcheng?”
He gritted his teeth and questioned her, while Tang Chuxia repeatedly shook her head, realizing she had gotten carried away, some of her words during her analysis had been inappropriate.
“How could I?
I have no thoughts about men now!”
Tang Jianguo: …
That wasn’t exactly necessary.
Checking the time, several uncles and aunts still had to go to work, quickly getting on their bicycles and leaving, once again only the brothers remained, and Zheng Daqing, who also had to go to school, left too.
Grandma was angry at Tang Chuxia for feigning illness and rebuked her harshly.
But during the scolding, Tang Chuxia felt a fierce palpitation and realized something was wrong; she barely managed to say, “Grandma, don’t bother taking me to the hospital later!”
Then she truly fainted.
The old lady thought she was pretending to faint, poked her, and told her to stop acting, but no matter how she poked, she couldn’t wake her up, and hurriedly called the old master and the grandson to come over.
Tang Jianguo was about to carry Tang Chuxia to the hospital, but remembering what she had said, grandmother let her lay on the bed.
“What’s going on?
She didn’t drink that damned girl’s prepared soy juice, did she?
Why has she fainted nonetheless?” Grandma worriedly kept testing Tang Chuxia’s forehead, which was burning hot.
Tang Jianguo took Tang Chuxia’s pulse and after a long while said, “Xiaxia’s pulse is too chaotic, it doesn’t seem like poisoning.
I’ll go and fetch my master!”
He hurriedly rode off on his bike, leaving Tang Jianjun, who also had no idea what to do, to just keep changing the towels on Tang Chuxia’s forehead to cool her down.
Fortunately, Madam Tang had also gone to work, for had she seen Tang Chuxia faint, who knows how worried she would have been.
Meanwhile, Tang Chuxia wanted to curse, she never imagined her body would be this weak, regularly entering a shutdown state during the transformation process.
Right now, she was conscious, able to perceive external sounds but unable to control her body.
Although this was not necessarily problematic, if she kept shutting down occasionally, she feared it might frighten her family.
Luckily, Tang Jianguo brought back an old man.
The elder was dragged in by Tang Jianguo, immediately cursing as he entered, “You rascal, you think I’m one of your soldiers?
You handle things without care!”
Tang Jianguo pointed anxiously at Tang Chuxia, “Master, please check on Xiaxia quickly!”
Elder Huang knew the seriousness of the situation, adjusted his breathing, then took Tang Chuxia’s wrist to feel her pulse, and uttered, “Huh.”
“What happened?”
Tang Jianguo was extremely anxious, Elder Huang stroked his beard, and after a long while, said, “Something’s off.
I know this child’s body well, why would it be like this?”
Tang Chuxia’s body had always been strange, and over the years in order to take care of her, many of the Tang family children had learned quite a bit of medicine from him, so Elder Huang was very clear about her condition.
“Something’s off!”
Elder Huang switched hands and started taking her pulse again, ignoring the anxious Tang Jianguo.
But the more he checked, the more wrong it felt.
Tang Jianguo was still okay, but Tang Jianjun couldn’t hold back, “Elder Huang, what is really wrong with Xiaxia’s body?”
If not restrained by propriety, he would have felt like grabbing Elder Huang by the collar to shake the answers out.
Elder Huang glanced unimpressed at Tang Jianjun, “When did you get back, young man?
You didn’t even bother to visit this old man!”
With that, he took out a leather roll from his medicine box and slowly unfolded it.
“Light a candle!”
Elder Huang looked at his beloved silver needle and sternly instructed.
Tang Jianjun knew what the old master was going to do, and obediently went to find a candle to light.
Elder Huang held the candle in one hand and had Tang Jianguo hold the leather roll for him to easily access the needles.
Then he saw him heat the silver needle over the candle flame and then plunged it into Tang Chuxia’s head.
No matter how many times they witnessed it, everyone was still shocked by the old man’s technique.
After all, casually inserting such long silver needles into the head—some felt long enough to pierce right through Tang Chuxia’s head—Elder Huang still went ahead and did it.
Everyone held their breath, no one daring to speak.
After Elder Huang finished inserting the needles, Tang Jianguo finally noticed the dense sweat on Elder Huang’s forehead.
Though his actions appeared casual, they were mentally taxing.
Taking out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, Elder Huang sat down on a nearby chair, then he felt ready to discuss Tang Chuxia’s condition.
“Speaking of which, this girl’s body is actually improving.
Since the year her enormous strength disappeared, her health has continuously been poor.
Normally, she wouldn’t have survived several bouts of her illness these past two years.”
Elder Huang stopped there, not continuing.
This made Tang Jianjun extremely anxious.
“Elder Huang, how old are you to still be playing these tricks?
What exactly is wrong with Xiaxia?”
He clenched his teeth, restraining his temper.
Elder Huang chuckled, “Boy, seeing how you care for your sister, I’ll tell you; it’s not a bad thing she’s unconscious—it’s a good thing!”
At that moment, Tang Chuxia had a good impression of the old man.
It seemed he really had some skills.
Tang Jianguo sighed in relief; if the master said Tang Chuxia’s health was improving, then it truly was.
“However, this girl’s health foundation is too poor.
Improving will come at a cost; she might faint from time to time!”
Elder Huang took a sip of the tea that Tang Jianjun handed him and added a comment.
Everyone’s hearts were lifted once again.
“Can she go to the countryside then?”
Tang Jianguo asked, only to receive Elder Huang’s scolding, “With her condition, go to the countryside?
She’d probably die on the way there!”
Grandma solemnly said, “Once Xiaxia wakes up, we’ll take her to the hospital to get a certificate stating her poor health.
Going to the countryside would just cause the country trouble!”
Tang Jianjun and Tang Jianguo, the brothers, laughed, having forgotten about this.
Going to the countryside?
Tang Chuxia didn’t need to, their family had three military members enough to protect Tang Chuxia.
It was the district office staff causing trouble.
“I’ll go talk to Auntie Hu afterwards, have a good chat about the issue of military family members going to the countryside!”
Tang Jianguo had a plan, at least the issue of Tang Chuxia going to the countryside was so easily resolved.
Tang Chuxia herself hadn’t expected it.
After waiting a quarter-hour, Elder Huang removed the needles from Tang Chuxia, and with the last needle pulled out, Tang Chuxia finally regained control of her body.
The moment she opened her eyes, she met several pairs, but the one pair that intrigued her the most was filled with probing wisdom.
“Grandpa Huang!”
Tang Chuxia’s sweet smile made Elder Huang beam.
“You girl, always causing trouble!”
Tang Chuxia obediently did not respond, as saying anything at this time would be wrong.
Grandma held Tang Chuxia’s hand, “You child, not in good health yet still trying to act tough.
You must not do so anymore!
Also, find a man to take care of you soon!”
Tang Chuxia: …
She hadn’t expected this to be connected.
Just then, someone called for grandma from the courtyard entrance, and grandma responded then whispered to Tang Chuxia, “Take a good look later, if there’s someone suitable, grandma will find a way to get you married to him!”
Tang Chuxia: (^o^)/~
