Sitting on the cross-border trading group, the country is chasing after it

Chapter 212 Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts

Wen Zhiqi's hometown is Qianlin City. Her grandfather is a Chinese medicine practitioner, so she has been influenced by him since she was a child and has also embarked on the path of Chinese medicine.

When she was little, she often followed her grandfather to see patients. People in the clinic called her little doctor. If she had not accompanied her husband abroad, she would probably have stayed in the country and inherited her grandfather's traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

Wen Zhiqi's father and mother are both teachers, one is Wen Wei and the other is Ruan Qinyue. Both of them are retired now. If their daughter were still alive, now is the time for them to enjoy their retirement and family happiness. In their spare time, they can do square dancing, grow some flowers and grass, and visit their granddaughter from time to time.

But the unexpected death of her daughter broke it all...

Jiang Ruochu found her home according to the address given by Wen Zhiqi.

Before she could knock, the door opened and a middle-aged woman walked out.

"Okay, okay, take care of yourself too, uncle, aunt, please don't see me off, I can walk on my own."

After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she turned around and saw Jiang Ruochu and Ye Sha. She skipped Jiang Ruochu and stayed on the handsome guy for a few seconds before she said with a fake smile, "Oh, another relative is here to see you."

Jiang Ruochu frowned slightly. For some reason, she detected a hint of sarcasm in the tone.

The people standing in the room were Wen Zhiqi's parents. They had gray hair on their temples and wrinkles as deep as ravines across their faces. They looked much older than their actual age.

When they heard the word "relatives", the warm smiles on their faces immediately became stiff. Only when they saw the faces of the people outside the house clearly did they breathe a sigh of relief.

“These are not our relatives.”

"Oh, haha, I see. She is your student, right? Uncle and aunt really have many students all over the world. I'll leave first. If you have anything, please come to me. Feel free to contact me." The middle-aged woman made a phone call gesture.

Jiang Ruochu watched the middle-aged woman enter the elevator, and then heard the man in the room ask in a confused voice: "Excuse me, who are you..."

At first, Jiang Ruochu wanted to say that she was Wen Zhiqi's friend.

But judging from the middle-aged woman's strange attitude and the couple's odd reactions, she guessed that something might have happened in the Wen family after Wen Zhiqi left.

If she said at this time that she was Wen Zhiqi's friend, it would be difficult to explain why she did not come to Wen Zhiqi's funeral, and it would also be difficult to explain why she had never appeared in the past few years.

If you fail to gain trust when you first meet someone, it will be difficult to establish a deeper connection later.

So Jiang Ruochu thought about it and quickly changed her excuse: "Hello, uncle and aunt, my name is Jiang Ruochu, and Dr. Wen is my benefactor."

"My father had been hospitalized before because he was bedridden and couldn't come to Qianlin City for medical treatment. It was Dr. Wen who was kind and considerate of his patients and taught me a set of acupuncture treatments to regulate the body so that I could go back and treat my father after I learned them."

"My father is in much better health now and has been transferred from the hospital to a nursing home."

When the couple heard this, they both smiled with relief: "Congratulations."

"It just so happens that I have to go to Qianlin City for some business these days, so I thought of coming to visit you two."

"You have a heart."

In the first year after my daughter passed away, some of her patients did come to visit them, and their students also came frequently. But in the past one or two years, the number of people coming has gradually decreased.

Everyone's life is moving forward, only they are stuck in the same place.

The couple originally wanted to invite Jiang Ruochu into the house to sit down, but they looked at Ye Sha behind Jiang Ruochu hesitantly.

Jiang Ruochu immediately explained: "He is my bodyguard."

The couple looked at each other. It seemed that this little girl was doing an incredible job. "Come on, please come in."

After entering the house, Jiang Ruochu briefly summarized her experiences over the past few years, from her family's decline to paying off her father's debts.

"I've been too busy these past few years, and I'm really short of money, so I haven't had time to come and see you."

After hearing Jiang Ruochu's words, the two elders completely let down their guard.

"Of course, your own life is more important. If Xiaoqi is still alive in heaven, she will definitely be very happy to know that your father can recover."

"Dr. Wen is a really good doctor. Although she has been abroad in recent years, we have always kept in touch. She often tells me how to take care of my father."

The two elders were very pleased with Jiang Ruchu's praise, and they always had kind smiles on their faces.

Seeing that Wen Wei and Ruan Qinyue had completely let down their guard, Jiang Ruochu took the opportunity to say, "Actually, I came here to fulfill Dr. Wen's request."

Wen Wei and Ruan Qinyue looked confused: "Trust?"

"To be honest, a few days ago, as soon as I received the news that I was going to Qianlin City, I had a dream that night."

"I dreamed that Dr. Wen came to see me."

When she said this, Wen Wei and Ruan Qinyue's eyes widened instantly, full of brilliance.

"She asked me to come and see you, and asked me to ask if Uncle Wen has been taking his blood pressure medicine properly these days, and if he has been disobedient and always secretly eating braised pork."

"Uh..." Wen Wei looked embarrassed.

Ruan Qinyue, who was standing next to her, punched her husband and said, "Look at you. It's already this late, and you're still making your daughter worry."

Wen Wei touched his nose guiltily: "I only eat it two or three times a month, it's not too much."

"It's not too much, is it? Don't you know what's wrong with your body? Your blood lipids are so high, and you still dare to eat greasy food."

Jiang Ruochu was too familiar with this scene. Whenever her parents were about to quarrel, they would always have this rhythm, so she immediately interrupted and said, "She also has something for me to ask Auntie."

The two elders stopped arguing immediately and looked at Jiang Ruochu in unison, waiting impatiently for the next words.

"She asked Aunt Ruan if she had gone to the hospital for a checkup every year and whether she should avoid seeing a doctor. How is Aunt Ruan's heart now?"

Ruan Qinyue has a bad habit of not liking to go to the hospital. The older she gets, the less she likes to go. Firstly, she finds it troublesome, and secondly, she feels nervous every time she goes to the hospital. Every time she goes for a physical examination, her daughter and husband have to coax her to go.

When Wen Wei heard this, he immediately became confident: "Look! You're still blaming me, but you're also making my daughter worried."

After hesitating for a while, Ruan Qinyue said with a specious reasoning: "Then my problem is not as serious as yours."

Once their daughter is involved, both elders seem to become lively.

Ruan Qinyue asked: "Xiao Jiang, did Qiqi say anything else?"

Obviously, the Wen couple accepted the dream theory well.

Perhaps it was because what Jiang Ruochu said was so truthful, as if it were said by their daughter herself, so they had to believe it.

Jiang Ruochu brought up all the topics that he had discussed with Wen Zhiqi beforehand, making the old couple laugh and cry at times.

Seeing that the time was right, Jiang Ruochu asked indirectly, "Is that auntie just now your relative?"

"No, she sells health products. Since Qiqi passed away, we don't even have anyone to talk to. Xiao Wang is very nice. She often comes to visit us and invites us to travel. Sometimes when something in our house breaks, she also takes great care of it."

"..." Jiang Ruochu knew as soon as he heard it that the two elders had fallen into a health product scam.

This type of scam is that the person selling the health products is closer to you than your own daughter or son, asking about your well-being every day, and then tricking you into buying the health products.

In fact, some middle-aged and elderly people do not believe that health products are really useful. It is simply because there are no young people around them and they are taken advantage of.

Of course, there are also some people who have physical illnesses that cannot be cured in hospitals, so they can only seek other methods and are easily deceived.

The Wen couple are in relatively good health, so they should be the former.

Jiang Ruochu wanted to say something but stopped.

The couple were worthy of being teachers. They had seen countless people and saw through Jiang Ruochu's thoughts at once.

Ruan Qinyue said softly, "We know what you want to say. Are you afraid that we will be deceived?"

"Don't worry, we know what's going on."

Jiang Ruochu couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when he heard this.

Soberly deceived.

It is probably the most helpless thing in life.

The Wen couple had their own psychological needs. At this time, Jiang Ruochu could not just stand there and emphasize that they were cheated, so he quickly cut off contact with Xiao Wang.

The root of the problem is that couples who have lost their only child have no one to take care of them, and they feel spiritually empty, so they can only place their emotions on outsiders.

This is not just a family problem, but a broad social problem.

Jiang Ruochu felt that perhaps her mother had more experience than her, and she could talk to her mother when she returned.

For now, she'd better find out more about the situation of the Wen couple and solve the problem fundamentally.

"Uncle, aunt, why did Xiao Wang sound strange when he mentioned his relatives just now?"
