Chapter 233 The younger brother-in-law is causing trouble
Fang Guangmei still couldn't believe what her brother-in-law said, and she turned to look at her mother-in-law, Wu Bixia.
At this moment, she had a bad feeling. Her brother-in-law had actually said such a thing in front of his mother. There must be a reason for it. Otherwise, he would never have said it.
Wu Bixia noticed her daughter-in-law staring at her, her brows furrowed, her eyes cold as she looked at her without uttering a word.
But Fang Guangmei's heart skipped a beat; she knew something was wrong.
She had been married into the Jiang family for over ten years, and while she didn't know her mother-in-law's personality inside and out, she understood it to a certain extent.
Judging from my mother-in-law's expression now, it seems my brother-in-law was right.
She plopped down on the bed in the room, still incredulous, her face pale.
How could this be? She couldn't believe it.
In fact, Fang Guangmei and her mother-in-law had similar thoughts; subconsciously, they both believed that Feng Qingqing only took pulses and performed acupuncture a few times, and nothing else.
In this situation, as a relative, Fang Guangmei implicitly agreed not to accept the medical fee.
After all, the Fang family had a close relationship with Feng Qingqing, so Feng Qingqing didn't pay much attention to many things.
Like last time she and her mother came here to see Feng Qingqing for treatment, they even took oral maintenance pills for quite some time, but there was no charge.
Her mother wanted to pay the consultation fee, but Feng Qingqing refused.
Later, her mother didn't insist anymore, not expecting that they would be treated like this when they came this time.
She sat on the edge of the bed, stunned for a moment.
Seeing his sister-in-law like this, Deng Wenwei felt a secret sense of satisfaction.
If it weren't for his sister-in-law's meddling, they wouldn't have ended up in this remote place with his mother, and would have stayed there for several days.
He has no friends here and is practically bored to death.
The culprit behind all this is his sister-in-law. If it weren't for her meddling, they wouldn't still be stuck in this county town's guesthouse today.
Seeing his sister-in-law suffer a setback, he felt a surge of satisfaction.
I thought to myself, "Serves you right, who told you to be so cocky and show off?"
Now look at it, it's conspicuous, isn't it?
He knew that his sister-in-law hadn't had a son all these years, and he was determined to make a good impression on his mother and win her favor.
This time, let's see how she ends up losing more than she gains.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited, and prepared to press on and make a few more sarcastic remarks about his sister-in-law:
"Sister-in-law, it's not that I'm being mean..."
"Enough!" Deng Wentao, who was standing to the side, suddenly reprimanded his younger brother Deng Wenwei with a displeased expression.
Although he was somewhat surprised that Feng Qingqing was charging his family for her medical services, as far as he knew, Feng Qingqing was a very generous person and would not ask for medical fees in such a way.
But thinking about some recent events, it all makes sense now.
At the same time, he thought to himself that it was good to accept the consultation fee. At that time, they would be even, and no one would owe anyone a favor. It was just a business transaction.
Seeing his younger brother picking on his wife repeatedly because of this matter, he was quite displeased.
He felt that his brother had no respect for his wife at all. Although this was unexpected, his wife did not want it to be like this.
Besides, his wife has already sacrificed a lot for his mother's illness.
And since you're here to see a doctor, where can you go to see a doctor without paying a consultation fee?
It's just that Feng Qingqing's consultation fee is a bit more expensive.
But knowing Feng Qingqing's medical skills, he didn't think much of it at the time.
When he first entered the house, he didn't immediately realize how he could let his brother continue to make things difficult for his wife.
Deng Wenwei was scolded by his older brother. He looked at his older brother and then at his mother's expression.
He didn't actually say anything, he just muttered to himself, and Deng Wentao couldn't hear what he was muttering.
So I stopped paying attention to him.
When Wu Bixia, who was in the room, heard her eldest son speak up, she realized that her husband valued his eldest son highly. Although she always doted on her younger son, they were both her own children, and she wouldn't openly show favoritism towards either of them.
Therefore, no one spoke, and the room fell silent for a moment.
Deng Wentao ignored the other two and looked directly at his mother, Wu Bixia.
His eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he spoke in a deep voice:
"Mom, tomorrow is your last day of acupuncture. Let's go back to Beijing early the day after tomorrow."
Upon hearing that they were going back to Beijing, Deng Wenwei, who had been somewhat sullen, suddenly looked up in surprise, staring intently at his brother.
He had been waiting for this day for so long; he was finally going back.
Deng Wentao glanced at his brother casually, feeling the intense gaze he was being stared at, and then looked back at his mother.
Upon hearing her eldest son's arrangements, Wu Bixia knew that not only was there work to attend to, but her treatment had also come to an end.
He nodded and replied:
"Then let's go back."
Although she said that, she was already thinking about it in her heart.
This trip to Nanjiang County has resulted in a strained relationship with Feng Qingqing due to various reasons, and staying here any longer would be unwise.
It would be better to go back to Beijing first and then try to find a solution through the eldest son of the Fang family there.
After undergoing treatment by Feng Qingqing, Wu Bixia had a clear understanding of the situation.
Knowing full well that she had a headache, he knew that if he wanted to relieve it, he would have to find Feng Qingqing.
She deeply felt that Feng Qingqing, putting aside everything else, was absolutely outstanding and masterful in acupuncture alone. She was truly gifted, otherwise, at her age, she would never have such a level of skill and expertise.
She does have some discernment.
Moreover, since we had just arrived in Nanjiang County and had been delayed for a few days, we didn't want to delay our son and daughter-in-law's work for too long.
Taking all factors into consideration, the only option is to go back and think of another solution.
As Wu Bixia pondered, she gently touched the area where she often had headaches with her right hand. After three consecutive days of acupuncture, Wu Bixia felt that both the frequency and intensity of her headaches had decreased slightly.
As the old saying goes, "Experience is the best teacher."
Wu Bixia has sought medical treatment for headaches for many years, and she has her own set of principles.
After thinking it over, he glanced at his daughter-in-law, who was still sitting there silently.
I felt that although she hadn't given birth to a son all these years, she had done one thing right this time.
At least she brought Feng Qingqing to her side. She's not even 60 years old yet, and she has a long life ahead of her.
If she were tormented by this headache for many years to come, and sometimes the pain became so severe that she wished she could just die.
But when he met Feng Qingqing, a strong sense of anticipation arose in his heart.
After Deng Wentao finished speaking with his mother, he didn't say anything more. He helped his wife, who was still sitting there in a daze, out of his mother's room and back to his own residence.
Seeing his wife's appearance, Deng Wentao felt a pang of heartache.
His wife had suffered quite a few blows in the past few days. Although Fang Guangmei's personality played a part, he still felt that Feng Qingqing was rather aggressive and unreasonable.
