Chapter 595: Don't Sow Discord

Xiao Wei, however, was particularly wary. "My dad doesn't allow me to mention his name in public."

"Little brat." Ye Qingbai didn't press further. He stroked his chin, looking at the child sitting on the sofa eating meatballs and fried potatoes, his eyes shifting slightly.

Whose child is this?

His surname is Zhang...

No one was there to accompany her, so she came to Bai Zhi for treatment by herself.

Based on this information, Ye Qingbai quickly confirmed his identity.

He immediately gave Xiaowei a friendly look, sat down next to him, and began to greet him with concern.

"Your name is Xiaowei, right?" he asked.

"yes."

"You're such a good boy," Ye Qingbai said, affectionately patting his head.

The sudden praise left Xiaowei somewhat bewildered.

The key issue is that he needs needles in his head, and he doesn't like strangers touching his head.

It contains bacteria.

He moved aside in disgust.

His little face tightened, and he said righteously, "Uncle, please keep your distance from me."

Ye Qingbai, "!!!"

"Are you afraid of needles?" Considering how difficult the child's life had been, Ye Qingbai chose to be tolerant of him.

Xiao Wei seemed to feel insulted by Ye Qingbai's question. He raised his head and said righteously again, "I'm not afraid at all. What's there to be afraid of? I'm a man. I'm not afraid of bleeding or sweating. I want to be a military doctor when I grow up."

"Wow, you have such lofty ambitions." Ye Qingbai gave him a thumbs up.

He praised without reservation, "No wonder he's Political Commissar Zhang's son, he's got guts."

Upon hearing his words, Xiao Wei looked at him in shock, "How do you know my dad is Political Commissar Zhang?"

"Just a guess."

Ye Qingbai felt uneasy when he thought about what his comrades in the company had told him about Political Commissar Zhang's family.

Xiaowei's mother is a great military doctor.

It's easy to imagine how difficult it must have been for Political Commissar Zhang to raise his child alone these past few years.

I heard that he usually leaves his son at home alone, and he has never neglected his work because of his child.

As his subordinate, I have the utmost respect for him.

Seeing Ye Qingbai staring at him with a serious expression, Xiao Wei looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked, "Uncle, why are you staring at me?"

"Because you're handsome," Ye Qingbai said.

Xiao Wei believed his words and immediately showed a proud look, "Of course, all the uncles and aunts in the family compound say I'm cute."

After frying the potato chunks, Bai Zhi chopped all the other ingredients for the stew.

Next, I sautéed the ingredients in a pan, poured in water, and simmered it over low heat.

We'll just wait for Lu Ye to come back so we can put the vegetables in the pot.

She washed her hands and came out of the kitchen, intending to treat Xiaowei first.

She saw Ye Qingbai sitting next to Xiao Wei, and the two seemed to be having a pleasant conversation.

"Xiaowei, go wash your hands, I'll give you an acupuncture first."

Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Xiao Wei sat up from the sofa. "Okay, Aunt Bai."

He obediently ran to wash his hands.

Ye Qingbai asked Bai Zhi, "Are you treating Political Commissar Zhang's son?"

"Um."

Ye Qingbai, who is usually optimistic, cheerful and carefree, couldn't help but sigh, "This child has really suffered."

"Yes, he suffered a lot." Bai Zhi fiddled with the silver needles, then said, "Fortunately, he met me."

She will end his suffering.

Let him start a new life.

Looking at Bai Zhi, Ye Qingbai said with emotion, "Cousin, I suddenly feel that being a doctor is a very noble profession."

Because of their existence, countless desperate patients have regained hope for life.

To relieve the suffering of the poor who are tormented by illness.

That's truly amazing.

"You're only just realizing this?" Bai Zhi rolled her eyes at him and snorted coldly, "Our work is inherently noble."

So, even after being reborn, she still chose to practice medicine and treat patients.

After washing his hands, Xiao Wei came over, skillfully took off his coat, and even rolled up his trouser legs himself.

"Xiaowei, relax. Just watch TV as usual and don't think about anything else."

Xiao Wei nodded, "I understand, Aunt Xiaobai. You can go ahead and do the injection without worry. It won't hurt at all."

The child's words caused Bai Zhi and Ye Qingbai to exchange a glance, their hearts filled with sorrow.

This child is so sensible it breaks my heart.

Bai Zhi's movements when giving him acupuncture were very gentle.

After the bandage was applied, I told Xiaowei not to move.

She warned Ye Qingbai again, "Cousin, don't tease him, or he'll move."

Ye Qingbai was very dissatisfied with her warning, "Look at what you're saying, do you think I'm such a frivolous person?"

Taking advantage of Bai Zhi's momentary pause, he inquired about his injury, "Xiao Zhi, take a look at my arm. Does it need acupuncture treatment?"

Ye Qingbai slowly removed the book that was covering his arm and let Bai Zhi examine his arm.

How are you feeling now during the reconstruction? Do you experience any restriction in your joints or bones?

Ye Qingbai pointed to his arm and replied, "It feels like half of my tendons are missing. It's hard to straighten my arm. You see, that's the feeling of tension in this area."

"That's muscle and tendon atrophy caused by long-term fixed bending; it needs to be exercised slowly."

Bai Zhi gently pressed his arm twice and concluded, "If you do more stretching exercises and follow the rehabilitation doctor's advice, you can usually recover without needing acupuncture."

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Ye Qingbai breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he was terrified to see the thin silver needle piercing into his flesh.

"Okay, then I'll increase my training."

Xiao Wei's curious eyes darted around Ye Qingbai's arm, as if he really wanted to ask him how he got injured.

But remembering that he had needles in his head and shouldn't speak, he held back.

When Bai Zhi was giving Xiao Wei his second acupuncture treatment, Lu Ye came home from get off work.

"Brother-in-law, you're back quite early today."

When Lu Ye saw Ye Qingbai at home, his gaze fell on Ye's arm, and he asked, "Are you doing renovations at my house?"

"What?" Ye Qingbai explained, "I finished the reconstruction this morning. My cousin and I went to the county town to book a shop. We were busy until the afternoon before we got home."

His tone was as if to say, "See? My cousin calls me, her older brother, when she sees the shop, not you."

Sure enough, his provocative tone was very damaging.

Lu Ye looked at Bai Zhi with a deep and mysterious expression.

His eyes held a look of accusation.

The shop has been booked?

"I'm going to the county town, and my cousin wants to ride my motorcycle for a spin."

After explaining calmly, Bai Zhi instructed Lu Ye, "I still need to give Xiao Wei acupuncture. Wash your hands and put all the vegetables I chopped into the pot. I'll be right there."

Lu Ye hummed in agreement, washed his hands, and went to the kitchen to cook.

As soon as Lu Ye left, Bai Zhi glared at Ye Qingbai and said, "Cousin, if you ever want to come to my house again, you'd better keep a low profile and don't be so cocky. Don't forget, this house belongs to Lu Ye."

"Who's showing off?" Ye Qingbai muttered. "It's obvious that your brother-in-law got jealous first. He's busy with his own things, but he won't let anyone else go out with you. That's selfish."
