The Sweetest Medicine

Chapter 280: This Illness Is Related To His Character

Translator: Yunyi Editor: Yunyi

Fang Zhihan looked at her with his head tilted. His faint gaze was playful. This gaze made Yu Gangan feel like she was being set on fire.

Yu Gangan swallowed uncomfortably and changed the subject, “Well, you know your grandfather has a bad temper. People with a good temper would never get this illness.”

“Is this illness related to his temper?”

“Elder Huang also said just now that the old man doesn’t want to eat. In addition to the stomach and the spleen, Chinese medicine believes that the body’s internal organs are dominated by the passions and desires of the person.”

Fang Zhihan squinted slightly, “So you’re saying that the old man made himself sick?”

After a moment of hesitation, Yu Gangan nodded her head, “Uh huh, it would have already been bad if he was so resistant under normal circumstances. But, he just so happened to finish a surgery, his body is weak, he has a weird character and he’s dominant and unwlling to accept advice...”

Fang Zhihan interrupted her and looked at her questioningly, “How do you know that he has a weird character and that he’s unwilling to accept advice?”

“I discovered it during his consultation. He has too much heat in his liver, caused by extreme emotions and liver yang. When I first entered the study room, I saw him seated inside. He’s old and sick, and your sister was dying from concern, yet he sat there reading documents instead of lying in bed to get some rest,” Yu Gangan replied.

Fang Zhihan explained faintly, “Something went wrong at Jiang Corporation.”

Yu Gangan continued, “Fine, it’s understandable if it’s related to work. But, what about your sister? She cares about him, but all she could do was ask him why he got up again. Her tone was cautious, she was afraid of offending him, and she did not dare to ask too much nor touch him, even though your grandfather had no intention of getting rest. If I was in her position and my grandfather was sick and unwilling to accept help from a doctor, I would be really angry and I would drag him straight back to bed. It’s obvious that your sister is afraid of him and listens to everything he says, and he takes it for granted. That’s why he does what he wants and acts arbitrarily.”

After a short pause, she added, “Also, when I was examining him, he deliberately made things difficult for me. His insults flowed from his mouth smoothly. Obviously, he scolds people often. Although it’s not the first time someone’s looked at me with disdain, it’s generally a family member that does it; a patient usually shows slight hope no matter how hopeless they feel. So, it’s clear that he is very stubborn.”

Fang Zhihan’s lips curved upwards slightly in amusement.

Yu Gangan was right, the old man was indeed such a person.

High and mighty; showing disdain to the world.

Arbitrary and selfish, he always thought that what he did was right and never listened to anyone else’s opinions.

All he needed was respect.

“Under normal circumstances, eating when he wants and not eating when he doesn’t want to, isn’t such a big deal. But, he’s old and just came out of surgery, yet he still rejects other’s suggestions. This has caused his stomach to fall into an abnormal state of disorder. If he continues like this, his stomach Qi will drop rapidly and his stomach will transform from a fertile land to a concrete slab that cannot absorb any nutrients,” Yu Gangan continued.

She spread her hands and said, “The stomach is a very important organ. A bare concrete floor may appear fine, but it’s useless. After all, who would plant rice in concrete?”

It was hard to not understand such a straightforward explanation.

So, Fang Zhihan asked, “What is the possibility of him drinking the wild vegetable water?”
