Wang Yao heard a man talking as he winded down the window of his vehicle.

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

“Hi, Uncle,” said Wang Yao.

“Hi, Yao, are you going out?” said Wang Jianli with a smile.

“Yes,” said Wang Yao.

After greeting Wang Jianli, Wang Yao took a glance at the middle-aged man, who also took a glance at him. Then Wang Yao drove away. It was just an accidental encounter.

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

Who is that man? What is he doing in our village? thought Wang Yao. He didn’t pay any attention to the man when he first saw him some time ago. But this encounter made him wonder what business the man was doing in the village.

…

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

Tong Wei’s mother was in poor health, even worse than Wang Yao had expected. Her meridians were blocked, especially the one running through her brain. She was likely to have thrombosis in her brain again. Her spleen and stomach were also weak, as well as her liver. Basically, she had health issues all over her body.

“Well…” said Wang Yao. After seeing Tong Wei’s mother, Wang Yao didn’t know what to say. If he told Tong Wei’s mother that she had serious health issues, she would probably worry too much and not be happy. But Wang Yao couldn’t hide the truth. He had to be honest with Tong Wei and her mother because Tong Wei’s mother’s health problems were really serious, especially in her brain and liver.

“What did you find?” asked Tong Wei softly.

“I did find some problems, but do not worry too much. Your mother just needs to take caution in some areas,” said Wang Yao after some hesitation.

“Okay, 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’s likely to have thrombosis in her brain,” said Wang Yao as he was observing Tong Wei’s mother, who stayed calm.

“You are right. A doctor told me the same thing last time when got her checked at the hospital,” said Tong Wei’s mother slowly and softly. Wang Yao guessed it was due to her lack of energy.

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

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

“Do you feel any pain below your ribs on your right-hand side?” asked Wang Yao.

“Yes, sometimes,” said Tong Wei’s mother.

“This is an indication of damaged liver function. It seems that you have mild cirrhosis of the liver,” said Wang Yao. In fact, according to Tong Wei’s mother’s pulse, her liver damage was more than mild and not just cirrhosis.

The liver was the detoxifying organ of the human body; it was vital to a human being. Once the liver was damaged, the toxic substances couldn’t be expelled out of human body and would accumulate inside the body to harm one’s health.

“That’s right. I initially had fatty liver disease, then it turned into cirrhosis,” said Tong Wei’s mother.

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

“Darling, did you even tell him this?” said Tong Wei’s mother while looking at her daughter.

Tong Wei was in shock.

“Mom, I’ve never told him about your health problems,” explained Tong Wei. Her mother continued to smile. She obviously was not convinced.

Wang Yao now realized what was going on.

That’s why Tong Wei’s mother had been smiling so weirdly and had been so calm. She thinks Tong Wei told me all her health issues to help me. She thinks her daughter didn’t want me to get embarrassed. I just wasted my time diagnosing her.

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

“Auntie, could you give me some time to think about how to treat your illnesses?” asked Wang Yao. He had done what he could do and said what he should say.

“Okay, it’s not urgent,” said Tong Wei’s mother with a smile.
