Chapter 117: Still a Virgin

 Chapter 117: Still a Virgin

Da Ya nervously placed her hand on her wrist. Doctor Hu took her pulse for a moment and then looked at her complexion, frowning. "Deficiency of Qi and blood, spleen and stomach dampness and cold, insufficient sleep. Your body is severely depleted."

Da Ya pursed her lips, and Shu Yu asked from the side, "Doctor, is my sister's condition serious?"

"I'll prescribe two medications for her. She needs to take good care of her stomach and avoid further damage to the spleen and stomach. Also, she should get enough sleep and avoid excessive fatigue. For the next half month, she shouldn't engage in heavy or tiring work. If she doesn't take care of her body now, she'll suffer in the future."

As Doctor Hu spoke, he lowered his head to write a prescription.

After finishing, he handed it to Shu Yu. "Go and get the medicine."

Shu Yu didn't leave; she looked towards the entrance and whispered, "Doctor Hu, please also check if my sister has symptoms of cold-induced infertility."

Doctor Hu was taken aback. "Infertility?"

He furrowed his brows, a trace of confusion crossing his face. He spoke to Da Ya, who seemed like she wanted to shrink away, "Extend your hand again, let me take a look."

Da Ya extended her wrist, and this time, Doctor Hu didn't take as long to feel her pulse.

He said, "Indeed, there is some coldness in the body. But as long as she takes good care of herself and receives proper treatment, it will still be relatively easy for her to conceive in the future."

After pausing, he looked at Da Ya's appearance. "You're already married?"

"Yes, I'm married."

Doctor Hu asked, "But according to the pulse, it indicates that she hasn't experienced marital relations?"

Shu Yu suddenly looked up. "Doctor Hu, what did you say? Not experienced marital relations? Are you saying that my sister is still a virgin?"

A woman who has been married for two years and is still a virgin??

How is that possible?!!

Shu Yu looked at Da Ya, who had a bewildered expression on her face.

Shu Yu's mind flashed with thoughts, and her lips tightened. She said to Doctor Hu, "Doctor, we understand. Thank you. Here's the consultation fee. We'll go to the counter to get the medicine."

Doctor Hu was experienced and had encountered all kinds of patients. From their reactions and pulses, he could somewhat guess that there might be some hidden privacy involved. As a doctor, he wouldn't pry further. Hearing Shu Yu's words, he nodded and said, "Alright, take care and remember to properly nurture your bodies."

"Thank you."

Shu Yu took Da Ya to collect the prescribed medicine and then left the clinic carrying the medicine package.

Da Ya noticed Shu Yu's stern expression and hesitated to speak. She had a hunch that her sister was angry, and it seemed like a big deal.

They returned to the shop on Ning Shui Street in silence. Zheng Gong greeted them, "Back already? How did it go? Is Da Ya alright?"

Shu Yu suddenly remembered that there were people in the shop, and it wasn't the right time to talk. She nodded at Zheng Gong and replied, "She's fine. The doctor said that with proper care for the next half month, she'll improve."

"That's good. Eating well is better than anything else."

Shu Yu continued, "Uncle Zheng, please carry on with your work. We need to go out again."

"Go ahead, go ahead."

Shu Yu then led Da Ya out of the shop and headed straight to Doctor Xu's clinic.

In addition to the shop, the only place Shu Yu could go in the county was Doctor Xu's clinic. As she went there, she also planned to pick up the medicine for Lu Erbai.

The clinic was as quiet as usual, and Shu Yu was familiar with Doctor Xu. When he saw her approaching, he immediately raised his hand and asked, "How is your father's leg? And how is the scar ointment working?"

"The ointment is working well. The scar on my younger sister's face has faded a lot."

Doctor Xu smiled, "Don't brag. Bring her over one day so I can take a look."
