The more Xie Yunjin thought about it, the happier he became. His entire face glowed and his hands quivered.

Perhaps he was far too excited at the moment because he completely overlooked the doctor’s perspiring face. If he was calmer and more observant at that moment, he would’ve caught that.

Terrified that Qi Lei may blow this, Lu Jiao grinned at him.

“Doctor Qi, then I leave everything to you. Let me walk you out. Once Yunjin’s physical health improves, we will do the surgery.”

Qi Lei’s face was tense and he couldn’t find any words to say out loud. All he could do was slowly walk outside.

If one observed closely, one would notice that his walk was extremely awkward.

Lu Jiao walked him to his horse carriage that was parked outside the trellis.

Qi Lei’s head cleared then and angrily gawked at Lu Jiao, “You’re setting me up for failure and hurting your husband. I do not know how to do this surgery.”

Lu Jiao said slowly, “I know how. Enough now, I will go find you in two days in town to prepare.”

She then turned to leave.

Inside the carriage, Qi Lei was still furious but Lu Jiao’s words echoed inside his mind.

“I know how.”

What did she know?

Surgery?

This time, Qi Lei’s face changed color. Oh my god, Ms. Lu knew how to perform surgery? Was that true?

For a woman to be a surgeon was unbelievable to him. What kind of woman on this earth dared to do such a thing?

There were surgeons in the Zhou dynasty, but all those doctors were sent to work in the military. After every battle, there were usually many wounded, so the doctors there were able to practice and try out new methods to help patients. The only reason they were able to get good at surgeries was because of the high number of patients who needed surgeries.

Normal doctors rarely got to meet patients who needed surgeries and therefore, had no experience to gain.

Yet Ms. Lu told him she could perform surgery?

Qi Lei’s heart beated quickly. If what she said was true, then she must be one hell of a doctor.

Before, Ling Feng had wanted to hire another doctor for Baohe Tang. However, after he tried out several, he felt like their skills were not up to par.

If Ms. Lu was a surgeon, then her skills must be up to Ling Feng’s standards.

In a daze, Qi Lei returned to town.

Back in the Xie house, Lu Jiao was all smiles and congratulated Xie Yunjin, “I want to be the first to congratulate you. I wish you a fast and speedy recovery. I’m sure your health will go back to normal in no time.”

Xie Yunjin was now much calmer but still very much thrilled. As if he pleaded for a firm answer, he looked over to Lu Jiao, “Lu Jiao, that Doctor Qi, can he really perform surgery on my legs and cure me?”

Before Lu Jiao could answer, another excited scream entered the room.

“Yunjin, is that for real?”

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao turned their heads toward the door and found the Village Leader, Xie Fugui there.

Xie Fugui was noticeably delighted as he gaped at the two inside the room in disbelief.

“The doctor from Baohe Tang can treat Yunjin’s legs?”

Lu Jiao was calm as she nodded, “Yes, Doctor Qi said he can do it. He said Yunjin needs surgery, then needs two to three months of rest. After that, he should be able to walk.”

Xie Yunjin raised an eyebrow. Doctor Qi said he needed two to three months of rest? How come he didn’t hear that?

Just then, Xie Fugui marched to the bed and grabbed Xie Yunjin’s hands, “This is great news! Doctor Qi is our village’s savior!”

Xie Yunjin dropped his suspicion. As he stared at the excited Xie Fugui, he did his best to calm his excited heart, “Even if I do get surgery, I may not be able to walk again.”

Xie Fugui laughed, “If Doctor Qi agreed to treat you, I’m sure you’ll be able to walk again. This is such good news! I must tell the others.”

Xie Fugui then left and did not give others any chance to speak more.

Inside the room, Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao wanted to stop him but he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After he left, Lady Tian and Lu Gui rushed in, followed by the four little ones.

Just as delighted, Lady Tian stared at Xie Yunjin, “Jiaojiao, can Doctor Qi really cure Yunjin?”

Lady Tian nervously stared at Lu Jiao and Lu Gui did the same.

The four little ones surrounded her and looked up.

Lu Jiao smiled and nodded, “Yes, Doctor Qi can cure Yunjin’s legs. As long as the surgery is performed, Yunjin will be able to walk again after two to three months of rest.”

Lady Tian was over the moon, “This is great!”

Lu Gui nodded as well, “My brother-in-law can walk again soon. This is the best news!”

The four little ones now crowded Xie Yunjin and tried to get a word in.

“Daddy, once you start walking again, you can go back to studying in the county!”

“Daddy, you can lift us up again!”

“You promised you would bring us to your school and show us.”

“You said you’re going to get a really big job in the city. A really really big job.”

The fourth born formed a big circle with his arms as if to show how “big” of a job his daddy was going to get.

Xie Yunjin saw how overjoyed everyone was and couldn’t help but be influenced. His handsome face was now soft, as beautiful as emerald water and faraway mountains. His originally dark and sullen eyes now showed emotions that rippled like spring water, moving and sensitive.

Lu Jiao scanned the room and her lips curled up. This was nice.

Lady Tian felt the same way. However, when she caught sight of her daughter, she became worried.

Once her son-in-law heals and finishes his studies, would he abandon her daughter?

Though Lady Tian was worried, she didn’t want to ruin the moment. She said to Lu Jiao, “This is good news. We need to make some nice dishes tonight.”

“Okay.”

Lu Jiao also felt the need to celebrate.

The mother and daughter pair went to the kitchen to make lunch, while the four little ones stayed to keep Xie Yunjin company.

After the Village Leader Xie Fugui left the Xie family home, he roamed throughout the entire village and informed every villager of the news.

Doctor Qi from Baohe Tang would perform surgery on Xie Yunjin.

Once that’s done, Xie Yunjin will be able to walk again after two to three months of healing.

This meant Xie Yunjin could return to school, do his exams, and get a government job.

Oh my goodness, this was wonderful!

The entire Xie Village turned restless when they heard the news. Many families stopped making lunch just to get together and talk about this turn of events.
