Chapter 752 - 374: The Academician Visits Again

"It was your dad, Mu Leng, who asked me to come. He heard that you argued with the professors in the operating room and is quite worried about you."

Huang Hui deliberately emphasized Mu Leng Dad.

It wasn't Huang Hui being jealous; it was simply to distinguish identities.

Huang Hui has known Mu Leng for many years. In recent years, Mu Leng often came to the house for meals and drinks, and the relationship between the two families has always been good.

So Huang Hui wasn't too worried about the in-law relationship.

To be precise, neither family addressed each other as in-laws!

Perhaps Huang Hui and Yan Sangyue's relationship is ordinary, but the word "in-law" can't cover the relationship between Mu Leng and the Lu Nanjia.

"They were asking for trouble!"

"Mom, I didn't offend anyone," Lu Cheng said.

Huang Hui said, "Anyway, both your dad and Nanshu's dad think your behavior today was a bit over the top."

"When speaking and doing things, you need to consider the other person's identity a bit."

"You can't treat everyone as your friends and family."

"Being straightforward is also a form of speaking deeply with shallow acquaintance."

"Do you want something to eat?" Huang Hui shifted the conversation, moving into her 'comfort zone'.

Medicine and interpersonal relationships are not Huang Hui's fortes.

Even Mu Leng said that Lu Cheng's current interpersonal situation is difficult to advise expertly.

Modes of interaction between different people vary and don't have a standard answer.

Bringing business tactics into the medical profession or research circle is purely self-destructive.

"I'm already full..."

"Mom, speaking of which, have you considered this?"

"Didn't Nanshu's dad say he wanted to open a store in Han City?" Lu Cheng shifted the topic.

"Between relatives and friends, never cooperate in doing business."

"That's what your dad says. Although your dad might not have great abilities, he's generally clear-headed in business dealings."

"I listen to him."

"Your dad and I aren't destined for great riches but are content with the harmonious family we have now." Huang Hui spoke unexpectedly.

Lu Cheng found it hard to imagine these words were coming from his mother.

Huang Hui is just a simple, sometimes even a bit provincial, rural woman.

Lu Cheng said, "Actually, you and Dad should find something to do yourselves; otherwise, if completely relaxed, you might not adjust well."

"But maybe Dad should do less of moving jobs like freight hauling."

"It's very damaging to bones and could lead to osteoarthritis later..."

Huang Hui: "If he doesn't do moving jobs, what can your dad do?"

Lu Cheng said, "Quite a lot, like raising chickens or feeding pigs somewhere."

"This can be done."

"Bring specific breeds from the hometown and feed them with scattered grain; you can certainly sell them at a good price."

"The profit may not be high, but it's a job."

"In big cities like Han City, authentic rural chickens sell for forty to fifty yuan a pound easily, people just worry your chickens aren't authentic."

Lu Cheng knows that during the end of the year, real farmer chickens are thirty-five a pound in the towns.

Lu Cheng then said, "After Nanshu's surgery recovery, we plan to have children. Shouldn't you prepare some eggs for your future grandchildren?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Hui's back straightened.

She pondered a moment and surprisingly nodded in agreement, "Buying eggs in the village is one and a half yuan each, regardless of size."

"You might not even get authentic country eggs."

"But there's no land?" Huang Hui started to worry again.

"No land? You can rent first; you can raise them in Long County too. I'm advising you to change your work; the income annually might not be less than what you make now."

"The work might be more tiring and tedious but not heavy-duty."

"Dad's moving work is still too heavy." After advising, Lu Cheng continued.

"Alright, Mom, I'll save this to eat later; you go rest now."

"Over at Nanshu's side, you can take turns watching her; she can walk by herself."

...

Evening, 7:30 PM.

When Lu Cheng walked out of the operating room, he saw that a patient's family had knelt on the ground.

Lu Cheng was startled at first sight, "What are you doing? Get up, quickly."

"Director Lu, thank you, thank you for saving my grandson." A fifty-something aunt cried bitterly.

She even wanted to kowtow.

Unable to hold her up, Lu Cheng said, "Aunt, if you keep doing this, I'm leaving; we won't be able to communicate!"

"I'll have someone else explain to you."

Lu Cheng knew the other party likely meant no harm, but he couldn't gamble on it.

She was well-intentioned, but if someone with ulterior motives filmed it and posted online, Lu Cheng doubted he could escape being targeted.

The doctor-patient relationship is already tense nowadays!

Family kneeling at the operating room door, "pleading for mercy," such headlines naturally attract attention!

The family finally stood up.

Then Lu Cheng said:

"Fan Chengcheng's surgery is complete, and for now, it seems relatively successful. He's now in the ICU, later to be transferred to pediatrics, where pediatricians will handle follow-up orders."

"Later, go directly to the ICU doors. You might be asked to have a talk and sign papers."

"Who are the child's parents?"

A thirty-something woman quickly wiped her eyes, "I'm Fan Chengcheng's mom; his dad is still on his way back."

"Director Lu, is Fan Chengcheng okay?"

"The surgery went well for now... Go to the ICU doors first; someone there will have you sign... Go quickly." Lu Cheng arranged for direct family to go over lest time be wasted.

"Okay, thank you, Director Lu." The child's mother quickly turned.
