Before breakfast, both the food delivery and pickup trucks had left. Nowadays, the mornings in Shier Daogou Village were the liveliest. Every household would load their prepared vegetables and herbs onto the trucks, and then the crisp banknotes would come rolling in. This was also the happiest time for the villagers.
Jiang Chao arranged for his own trucks to pick up the produce, so Lu Fan later added two more trucks to deliver to the county town and the provincial capital. Furthermore, most of the aquaculture industry was located in Shiyi Daogou Village, Li Mantang's village. It had just begun to take shape. In a while, there would likely be more demand for trucks.
Lu Fan also told driver Xiao Li to establish a transportation team and prepare trucks and drivers in advance. He could discuss how to expand the transportation team with Wang Yan. He deliberately assigned more work to Wang Yan to prevent her from bothering him all day.
Ring ring... a phone call, Lu Fan saw it was Chu Xiangwei's number and knew that Chu Xiangwei's brother and sister-in-law had arrived. He immediately picked up his phone.
"Sister Xiangwei! Bring your brother and sister-in-law to my little clinic!" Lu Fan said immediately after answering the phone.
A few minutes later, Chu Xiangwei brought her brother and sister-in-law to Lu Fan's small clinic.
Chu Xiangnan was around thirty-one or thirty-two, tall and slender. He looked quite handsome. Ma Tian was a woman who appeared very beautiful, but after Lu Fan took a glance, he felt she was a somewhat superficial woman.
Perhaps it was because he had read the "Tian Ji Miao Yu" for a few days, and when he saw a person's appearance, he could naturally discern a few things...
"Mr. Lu! Your conditions here...?" Seeing the condition of the small clinic, Ma Tian immediately frowned. Could such a small place provide medical treatment? Without a single piece of equipment, what a joke!
"Sister-in-law! Mr. Lu's medical skills are very impressive, and he uses traditional Chinese medicine, observing, listening, questioning, and palpating!" Chu Xiangwei quickly said, sensing her sister-in-law's doubt.
"Traditional Chinese medicine? Observing, listening, questioning, and palpating? Hmph! Trying to fool people, right? Don't tell me it's free treatment!" Ma Tian scoffed.
"I usually offer free treatment to the villagers. City people don't get this treatment. I'm offering you free treatment because you are Sister Xiangwei's brother and sister-in-law. Otherwise... I wouldn't bother serving you even if you had the money!" Lu Fan said from the side before Chu Xiangwei could speak. It seemed unnecessary to be too polite to someone who lacked manners.
"Mr. Lu! My sister-in-law speaks her mind, please don't take it to heart." Chu Xiangwei quickly explained from the side.
"Brother! Please sit, let me take your pulse first!" Lu Fan said to Chu Xiangnan.
Chu Xiangnan glanced at his wife, said nothing, and sat down in front of the examination table.
Lu Fan first took Chu Xiangnan's pulse, and while doing so, he activated his X-ray vision.
"Does your work usually involve staying up late?" Lu Fan suddenly asked.
"Hmph! Our Xiangnan is a department manager at a big company! His work is just a matter of saying it, why would he stay up late?" Ma Tian scoffed from the side.
"Oh! I have a lot of social engagements, so I do often stay up very late!" Chu Xiangnan quickly explained.
"Then that's right! More social engagements mean more smoking and drinking. And more late nights. Your condition isn't serious. As long as you pay attention to rest and take medicine for a few days, it will be fine," Lu Fan said calmly.
"Does my brother really have no problem?" Chu Xiangwei asked softly from the side.
"A minor issue! Pay attention to rest and maintain your energy. Especially during the period of trying to conceive, don't drink or smoke. There will be no problem with pregnancy!" Lu Fan said.
"What do you mean? Are you saying that my inability to get pregnant is my problem!?" Ma Tian suddenly shouted from the side.
"Whether it's your problem or not, we'll know after I take your pulse," Lu Fan said calmly.
"Hmph! Even the various machines in big hospitals can't detect it, and you're telling me that taking a pulse can? I don't believe you, you country doctor. Let's go!" Ma Tian waved her hand and stood up, ready to leave.
"Hmph! Are you afraid to let me take your pulse because you're afraid I'll find out you really have a problem?" Lu Fan also scoffed.
"I'm not afraid of you at all! I don't have any problems. If you want to take my pulse, go ahead. Let's see what you can say?" Ma Tian said indignantly.
Lu Fan said nothing more and directly placed his fingers on Ma Tian's wrist.
"Hmm! It really isn't a major problem." After taking her pulse, Lu Fan said with a slight smile.
"Hmph! Of course, I don't have a problem!" Ma Tian said with a hint of surprise on her face.
"It's not that you don't have a problem, it's that you don't have a major problem. You used to take birth control pills frequently, which caused habitual infertility. After returning home, abstain from intercourse for a month. After a month, trying to conceive should be fine," Lu Fan said, withdrawing his hand.
"You take birth control pills?" Chu Xiangnan suddenly looked at Ma Tian and asked. He didn't know about Ma Tian taking birth control pills.
"I... I didn't take birth control pills! He's talking nonsense!" Ma Tian became a little flustered and immediately pointed at Lu Fan and shouted.
"You haven't taken the medicine recently, but you were taking it daily two years ago! Moreover, even after two years, your sexual activity was very frequent... or rather, you had intercourse every day! This is also why your habitual infertility has not improved," Lu Fan said, shaking his head slightly.
"You... you're talking nonsense! This... this is impossible. Who can endure doing this every day! I think you're a hooligan doctor!" Ma Tian's expression changed instantly, and she stood up and started to curse.
"Brother Chu! How much did you know about her before you got married?" Lu Fan suddenly asked Chu Xiangnan.
"Ma Tian! Didn't you promise me you wouldn't do that kind of thing anymore?" Chu Xiangnan's face suddenly darkened as he said.
"I... I didn't! I really didn't! Xiangnan, don't listen to his nonsense!" Ma Tian quickly explained.
"Alas! Brother Chu! I've finished the examination. I won't interfere with your family matters! Please leave! Here's a pill for you!" Lu Fan took out a Jùshén Dān and handed it to Chu Xiangnan, then directly showed them out.
This matter concerned Chu Xiangwei's reputation, and he didn't want Chu Xiangnan to be too embarrassed. The matter had been made clear; how they handled it was Chu Xiangnan's choice. It had nothing to do with others.
"Hmph!" Chu Xiangnan snorted, turned around, and rushed out.
"Xiangnan! Don't listen to his nonsense!" Ma Tian hurriedly chased after him.
"Mr. Lu! Is what you said all true?" After both of them had left, Chu Xiangwei quickly asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, your sister-in-law's previous profession was not very honorable. Most importantly, after marriage, she continued that profession," Lu Fan said calmly.
"Alas! She was my brother's first love. They lost contact after college until they met again three years ago. I thought my brother had found love again, but I didn't expect it to be a worn-out shoe! Hmph! I have to tell my parents about this. Pity they've been hoping to have a grandchild!" Chu Xiangwei immediately took out her phone.
"Don't! This is your brother's choice. He clearly knew about your sister-in-law's past profession. If you tell your parents about this, how will the elderly couple live! If you want to give the elderly a grandchild, you can do it too!" Lu Fan quickly stopped Chu Xiangwei from making the call. He didn't want to ruin a family because of a medical examination.
"I... I... I'm not ready for that yet!" Chu Xiangwei said, blushing, and hurried out.
