Together With the System to Become a Pharmacist at Once a Doctor
Chapter 142: Life Is Like a Movie, But I'm Not A Good Actor

Wang Yao heard a man speak as he lowered the window of his vehicle.

“I like this location,” said the middle-aged man.

“Hai, Uncle,” said Wang Yao.

“Hai, Yao, are you going out?” wang Jianli said with a smile.

“Ya,” said Wang Yao.

After greeting Wang Jianli, Wang Yao glanced at the middle-aged man, who also glanced at him. Then Wang Yao left. It was just an accidental meeting.

Wang Yao could see from the rearview mirror of his vehicle that Wang Jianli was smiling the entire time as he spoke to the middle-aged man as if he was trying to please the man.

Who's the guy? What is he doing in our village? thought Wang Yao. She did not notice the man when she first saw him some time ago. But this meeting made him wonder what business the man was doing in the village.

…

Wang Yao arrived at Tong Wei's place before 9:30 a.m. Both Tong Wei and her mother were at home. He checked Tong Wei's mother's pulse after sitting down for a while.

Tong Wei's mother's health was poor, even worse than Wang Yao had expected. Her meridians were blocked, especially those flowing through her brain. He may have thrombosis in his brain again. His spleen and stomach were also weak, as was his heart. Basically, he had health problems all over his body.

“Yah ..” said Wang Yao. After seeing Tong Wei's mother, Wang Yao did not know what to say. If she told Tong Wei's mother that she had serious health problems, she would probably be too worried and unhappy. But Wang Yao could not hide the truth. He had to be honest with Tong Wei and his mother because Tong Wei's mother's health problems were very serious, especially in her brain and heart.

“What did you find?” ask Tong Wei gently.

“I did find some problems, but don't worry too much. Your mother just needs to be careful in some areas,” Wang Yao said after hesitating.

“OK, can you explain more?” Tong Wei gave Wang Yao a glass of water.

“The blood vessels in your mother's brain are slightly blocked. She likely had a thrombosis in her brain,” Wang Yao said as she observed Tong Wei's mother, who remained calm.

“You're right. A doctor told me the same thing last time when he was checked in the hospital, ” Tong Wei's mother said slowly and gently. Wang Yao guessed it was because he lacked energy.

“I also found a coordination between your spleen and stomach that can affect your ability to digest food. Food tends to linger in your digestive system for too long,” Wang Yao said.

“Yes, my digestive system is not working well; I also have a lot of gas in my stomach.” Tong Wei's mother was still calm.

“Do you feel pain under the ribs on your right side?” asked Wang Yao.

“Ya, sometimes,” says mother Tong Wei.

“This is an indication of liver function damage. It seems like you are suffering from mild liver cirrhosis,” Wang Yao said. In fact, according to Tong Wei's mother's pulse, her liver damage was more than mild and not just cirrhosis.

The liver is a detoxifying organ of the human body; it is essential for a human being. Once the liver is damaged, toxic substances cannot be removed from the human body and will accumulate in the body to endanger one's health.

“It's true. I originally had fatty liver disease, then turned into cirrhosis,” Tong Wei's mother said.

“Have you ever had a hepatectomy?” This was only a guess from Wang Yao.

“Honey, did you even say this to her?” tong Wei's mother said while looking at her daughter.

Tong Wei was surprised.

“Bu, I never told him about your health issues,” explained Tong Wei. His mother kept smiling. He's obviously not sure.

Wang Yao now realized what was going on.

That was why Tong Wei's mother smiled so strangely and so calmly. She thought Tong Wei told me all her health issues to help me. She thinks her daughter doesn't want me to be ashamed. I was wasting my time diagnosing him.

Wang Yao shook his head with a smile. He didn't say anything more about the matter.

“Auntie, can you give me time to think about how to treat your illness?” asked Wang Yao. He did what he could and said what he had to say.

“OK, this is not urgent,” Tong Wei's mother said with a smile.

After seeing Tong Wei's mother, Wang Yao did not stay for lunch. Instead, he left with Tong Wei. Tong Wei was going back to Dao City in the afternoon, so Wang Yao accompanied him on grocery shopping.

“Pardon my mother for what she said,” said Tong Wei softly.

“Of course,” Wang Yao said with a smile. He just thought the misunderstanding from Tong Wei's mother was a bit strange. He could not understand why his mother thought he was playing tricks.

“By the way, why did your mother have a hepatectomy?” asked Wang Yao.

“He had it about six years ago. His doctor found a tumor in his liver and thought it could turn into cancer. So, she had a hepatectomy just in case her tumor became malignant. His doctor only removed a small part of his liver tissue,” Tong Wei explained.

“I understand,” said Wang Yao.

After Tong Wei finished shopping, they went to the restaurant for lunch. Then, they went to buy bus tickets for Tong Wei. Wang Yao was about to escort Tong Wei to Dao City, but Tong Wei refused. They said goodbye to each other at the bus station.

Upon seeing Tong Wei get on the bus, Wang Yao suddenly felt reluctant to leave Tong Wei. It's nice to have a nice girl with him.

The bus slowly came out of the station. It went further and further until Wang Yao could not see the back of the bus anymore. Wang Yao stood at the station and felt lonely.

Tong Wei continued to wave at Wang Yao, thinking at the window until she could not see Wang Yao anymore.

Maybe this is how it feels to be in love, Wang Yao thought.

Wang Yao went to Wang Mingbao's shop instead of going home after Tong Wei left.

“Hai, what brought you here? Are you sick and tired of Nanshan Hill? ” Wang Mingbao said with a smile as he made Wang Yao a cup of tea.

“I need to run some errands here, and I think of you,” Wang Yao said.

“I understand. By the way, there is something I want to tell you, ” Wang Mingbao said.

“What is it?” asked Wang Yao.

“Do you remember the person I asked you to meet last time? You said he was arrogant and wouldn't listen to you. He is one of those people you will not treat, and you have not prescribed anything for him,” Wang Mingbao said.

“Yes, I remember him, who likes to eat sashimi. What happened to him?” asked Wang Yao.

“What changed his mind? The problem gets worse? ” ask Wang Yao.

“Indeed! She suddenly felt pain somewhere in her stomach last month, so she went to a hospital in the city to get checked out. Doctors from the hospital said he had serious problems with his liver and suggested surgery to cut off half of his liver. Then, he went to the provincial hospital to get a second opinion. Doctors there estimated one-third of his liver had to be removed, otherwise he could die. She was surprised but did not decide whether she should proceed with a hepatectomy. He then visited several more hospitals including a large hospital in Beijing, but all the doctors made the same advice. The only difference is how much liver tissue to discard,” Wang Mingbao said.

“Yeah, I'm not surprised. He was very sick and did not take any advice the last time I saw him. She has no control over her diet and does not want to see a doctor or talk about her illness. Sooner or later, the illness will get worse,” Wang Yao said calmly.

“Can you still see it?” ask Wang Mingbao.

“No, he's been diagnosed from a doctor at a big hospital. What's the point of me seeing it?” Wang Yao shook his hand.

“It's okay. I will tell him,” Wang Mingbao said.

“Thank you. By the way, have you returned to our village recently?” asked Wang Yao.

“Yes, a few days ago. Why are you asking?” wang Mingbao said.

“One day, I saw the village secretary with a man who looked like the owner of a business. The man was apparently interested in the old house of the village production team. I don't know who that person is,” said Wang Yao.

“It's easy; I'll ask you soon. ” Wang Mingbao picked up his phone and came out to call.

“Oke, do you know what it is? Fine...Good...Thank you very much.” Wang Mingbao hung up the phone after talking to someone.

“People you are talking about want to invest in our village,” Wang Mingbao said.

“Invest in our village? Are you kidding me? Why would he want to invest in our village?” asked Wang Yao. He was shocked and curious about the man's intentions. After all, the village is isolated with a port transportation system, and no natural resources or scenic attractions are worth investing in.

“I don't know. At this stage, let's wait and see, ” Wang Mingbao said.

“OK, I have to go now,” said Wang Yao.

“You don't want to go after dinner?” ask Wang Mingbao.

“No, thank you,” Wang Yao said before she left.

After 4pm when Wang Yao arrived home. He did not return to Nanshan Hill. Instead, she stayed home to help her mother eat dinner.

“Has Tong Wei returned to Dao City?” zhang Xiuying asked as soon as he saw his son.

“Yes, he just left in the afternoon,” said Wang Yao.

“Why didn't you drive him to Dao City?” ask Zhang Xiuying.

“I want to, but she refused,” said Wang Yao.

“She's really a good girl. I've discussed it with your father that you should be satisfied with him, ” Zhang Xiuying said as he stopped what he was doing.

“Well, I don't want to rush. I want to spend more time with him first,” Wang Yao said with a smile.

“No rush? You've been 27 years!” zhang Xiuying.

“Zebao, who is also 27 years old, has had two children,” Wang Yao said. He imitated the way his mother spoke.

“I won't argue with you. But you need to take Tong Wei seriously, understand? ” said Zhang Xiuying.

“I take it seriously!” said Wang Yao.

Wang Yao's father also mentioned Tong Wei during their dinner. It seemed that both of Wang Yao's parents liked Tong Wei. So, Wang Yao promised her parents that she would try her best to stay with Tong Wei.

Wang Yao returned to Nanshan Hill at night. He opened the system and checked his mission. Almost 50 days had passed, and he had gained the recognition of some people recently. Now, he got the recognition of 41 people in total, even though he wasn't exactly like those 41 people. Wang Yao guessed that he could gain so much recognition because he had met quite a few people recently, including Xu Maosheng, Professor Lu, and Wang Fengming's family.

“I have to work harder,” Wang Yao muttered.

He would not be able to complete the mission without taking the initiative to approach different people. Maybe the system wants to force him out more to show his medical skills, rather than staying in Nanshan hill all the time.

I'm only halfway through. I still need a confession from 59 more people! thought Wang Yao.

After observing the sky for a while, Wang Yao returned to her hut to document Tong Wei's mother's illness in her notebook. Mother Tone Wei had several health problems in various parts of her body. Some problems are big, while some are small. It is quite common among the elderly.

Tong Wei's mother's health was poor. He must organize his body and consolidate the body. The blood flow in his brain was not smooth. His blood vessels needed to be cleaned, so he needed herbs to activate his blood and unblock his veins. She also needs treatment to improve her digestive system function and calm her nerves to protect her heart.

He has a lot of symptoms. Wang Yao needed to deal with it one by one. According to Wang Yao's current medical knowledge, he was unable to prescribe a single formula to target all the health problems Tong Wei's mother was experiencing.

I have to start by consolidating his body.

Wang Yao decided to use the Regather soup first. Regather soup was the most widely used among all the formulas Wang Yao could obtain from the system. It is suitable for all types of diseases. Although Regather's soup could not cure patients, it could improve their body's function to fight disease.

I don't have enough potions anymore, thought Wang Yao.

…

The next morning on a cold and windy hill.

On the rock at the top of Nanshan hill, there was a man circling his arms forward and backward, like pushing a ball.

Om! Suddenly there was a sound, and it immediately disappeared.

Other meridians are not blocked.

Wang Yao did not stop. He continued to practice Tai Chi a few more times before slowly slowing down to completion.
