Chapter 148: The Considerate Yu Gangan
Translator: Yunyi Editor: Yunyi
Mother Chen dragged Yu Gangan into a small social club. Inside, a group of aunties were playing with cards and mahjong.
As soon as an auntie in a grey coat saw Mother Chen, she immediately started waving at her, “Old Chen’s here. Come play, I’m going to leave.”
“Old Liu, don’t you normally play until dinner time? Why are you leaving like this?” Mother Chen questioned.
“Can’t you see it’s raining? My rheumatism has been triggered,” Auntie Liu said as she stood up and gave her seat to Mother Chen.
Mother Chen pulled Yu Gangan over and said, “Don’t leave so hastily. I just so happened to run into a friend outside. Let her have a look for you, she’s highly skilled in medicine. Back when I broke my leg, she was the one that treated it and helped me recover without any lingering issues.”
Auntie Liu glanced at the woman and replied indifferently, “Don’t worry, I’m going to go home and rest.”
How could such a young woman fix her illness?
But, just as she started walking away, Mother Chen stopped her again, “Xiao Yu is seriously skilled. Just let her check your pulse.”
Auntie Liu couldn’t refuse. After all, it was just a simple check. So, she sat down on a seat to the side, “Sorry to trouble you, young lady.”
Mother Chen quickly introduced Yu Gangan to everyone, “This young lady’s surname is Yu Gangan, but everyone is used to calling her Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu, this is Auntie Liu, Auntie Xu, and Auntie Huang. Also, this is Auntie Zhong, Auntie Zhang...”
After greeting the young woman, the aunties returned to playing mahjong.
But, Yu Gangan remained seated opposite Auntie Liu. She stretched out three fingers, placed them on the old woman’s wrist and started checking her pulse...
Two minutes later, Yu Gangan finally retrieved her hand and whispered gently beside Auntie Liu’s ear, “Auntie Liu, your leg is fine. It’s your bottom that’s in pain, isn’t it?”
Auntie Liu looked at Yu Gangan in surprise.
This woman was young, but she was quite capable.
It was true that her pain was not in her leg, she was simply too embarrassed to tell everyone that her bottom was in pain. Besides, it didn’t sound too good either. So, she simply told everyone it was her leg.
All along, apart from her family, no one knew about this.
Who would have thought that this young woman would be able to diagnose it via a pulse?
But, not only were her medical skills decent, her personality was even better. Yu Gangan knew Auntie Liu didn’t want people to know about her condition, so she was considerate of her feelings and whispered her diagnosis beside her ear.
Yu Gangan sat up straight and said in a normal tone, “Auntie Liu, this is a result of a fall from many years ago. At that time, you didn’t receive treatment in time and exposed it to cold weather, so it became a persistent problem. This must have troubled you for, at least, 10 years.”
Auntie Liu nodded her head, “Yes, it’s been over 10 years. Every time it rains, it hurts.”
There were a few occasions when the pain was so unbearable that she couldn’t sit nor stand. All she could do was lie in bed.
“Right now, it only hurts when it rains, but in a few years, it will hurt even when it doesn’t rain. You should really get some treatment,” Gangan said as she pressed an acupoint on the woman’s arm.
At that moment, Auntie Liu couldn’t handle the pain, so she let out a soft cry, “Ah!”
All of a sudden, everyone looked at Yu Gangan and Auntie Liu with concern.
After pressing the acupoint for a short while, Yu Gangan slowly lightened her pressure and massaged the woman gently. Auntie Liu looked at Yu Gangan and smiled, “It doesn’t feel so painful anymore.”
As she spoke, she stood up for a bit and then sat back down. It really wasn’t as painful as before.
“Auntie Liu, from now on, when it rains, you can press the Chize acupoint, which is located along the lung meridian of the hand. Not only will it relieve the momentary pain, if you press it often, it can reduce the occurrence of painful episodes.”
