Reborn! I Ditched the Run and Married the Heir-Chapter 331: Patients’ Families More Stubborn Than Doctors

Chapter 331: Chapter 331: Patients’ Families More Stubborn Than Doctors

Gu Family Village is located in a place where it gets extremely cold in winter. The climate is inherently cold, and the environment is poor.

Because these are all old houses, residents have to rely on heated brick beds and carbon stoves for warmth.

However, neither of these is good for people’s health. Using carbon stoves produces gaseous fumes, which are harmful if inhaled excessively.

Sleeping on a heated brick bed throughout the night can cause a lot of moisture loss from the body, making the person dry, which is unfriendly to respiratory diseases.

Especially in the morning, when people suddenly get up from the warm brick beds and are hit by the cold air outside, the rapid change in temperature makes it easy to get sick.

Like Xiao Li, Doctor Huang from the Gastroenterology department is also troubled, because, as Director Du previously guessed, the children in this village have weak stomachs due to long-term irregular eating habits. Some even already have gastrointestinal diseases.

If their stomachs are already in poor condition at such a young age and aren’t adjusted in time, what will happen when they grow up?

A weak stomach means nothing is absorbed, so if nutrition isn’t absorbed, other health problems follow. With such a weak foundation, how can they grow up healthy?

At the end of the day’s free clinic, everyone in the medical team was in a poor mood.

The people in the village have low medical awareness; from the elderly to the children, few have a clean bill of health.

It’s acceptable for the elderly to have some health issues with age, but every child in the village being unhealthy is what burdens them.

People say children are the flowers of the nation, but these flowers are growing weakly on barren land. How can they grow? How can they bloom?

What makes them feel helpless is that when they reminded the elders caring for children today to pay attention to their health and correct previous bad habits,

the elders didn’t take it seriously. They said every household in the village is like this, their children are raised freely, running around the mountains all day. They’re healthy, so how could there be any problems?

The medical team is truly powerless; doctors fear encountering patients’ families who are more obstinate than doctors themselves.

Director Du sighed lightly, "Alright, we’ve had a long day. Let’s not be downcast; let’s all get dinner ready!"

Today, Feng Ye brought supplies up the mountain for them, so now they can have a hot meal.

Although they still have to sleep in tents at night, each tent now has electric blankets, so they don’t need to worry about the cold while sleeping.

Everyone worked together, and soon a big pot of porridge was cooking. The fire was strong, and soon the fragrance of food wafted through the air.

It’s inconvenient up in the mountains, and with only two or three days, they didn’t want to make things too complicated, so they directly cooked vegetable porridge.

When the porridge was almost ready, they added pre-cooked dishes brought up by Feng Ye to enhance the flavor.

I must say, it turned out to be quite tasty, at least for everyone who’ve been eating dry food since last night. Being able to eat vegetable porridge already felt great!

While they were eating, some villagers came over, bringing them vegetables, all grown by themselves and cooked before bringing over.

Director Du repeatedly declined but eventually couldn’t refuse. The villagers placed the food on the table and then left.

When Village Chief Gu came over with things, everyone was already almost full.

Village Chief Gu looked at the dishes on the table and laughed, "Looks like I came too late; you’ve already eaten quite a bit."

Director Du stood up, "Village Chief Gu, the villagers are too hospitable, we’re really embarrassed."

Village Chief Gu laughed and said, "You’ve worked hard all day. These are all homemade, not worth much."

Saying so, he also placed a large bowl of vegetables he was holding onto the table, and everyone, looking at the dishes, secretly burped!

What to do when you’re full but can’t eat anymore?

Wasting food is also shameful, this...

Everyone exchanged looks and all secretly planned not to touch Village Chief Gu’s bowl of vegetables first so they could keep it for the next morning after he left, reheating it to eat.

However, as they waited for Village Chief Gu to leave, he instead found a chair and sat down to chat with Director Du.

"Director Du, when you arrived yesterday, the village wasn’t ready, making you sleep outdoors. This—I talked with several families in the village before, you can divide and stay at their homes tonight.

Although the conditions are simple, it’s better than sleeping in tents, isn’t it?" Village Chief Gu said with a smile.

Director Du glanced at everyone and saw them shaking their heads discreetly. He smiled and said to Village Chief Gu, "Village chief, we appreciate the hospitality from the local folks, but this mission is assigned to us by the hospital, and we need to report back to leadership each day after the free clinic. If we’re not together, it would be difficult to answer their questions."

Village Chief Gu nodded in understanding, "I see, you have it tough too. Well, how about moving the tents into the ancestral hall? At least the house will block the wind, it’s an improvement."

Everyone’s expressions grew strange again, and Director Du laughed once more, "No need, village chief. Thank you for considering us, but look, we have a lot of stuff here, and we still need to run the clinic tomorrow. Moving to the ancestral hall means having to move things back tomorrow, it’s quite troublesome.

We slept okay here last night with a bonfire nearby; it wasn’t too cold."

Village Chief Gu looked at the stuff in the sun-drying field, realizing that moving back and forth was quite a hassle.

"Alright, I won’t disturb your meal any longer. Get some rest early after dinner, it’s been a tiring day."

As Village Chief Gu spoke, he stood up to leave, and Director Du stood up briefly to see him off.

Yesterday, they received a cold reception upon arrival, which worried him. Now with warm invitations, it felt tiring to manage.

Once Village Chief Gu disappeared completely from the sun-drying field, everyone who had been sitting around the table also got up.

They truly couldn’t eat anymore, no joke!

Everyone swiftly gathered their trash to one side, and the vegetables brought by Village Chief Gu were put aside, covered, saved for breakfast the next day.

After tidying up, everyone sat by the bonfire chatting leisurely while Director Du made a call to report to the head of the hospital.

After finishing the call, his expression wasn’t great, "The director said people outside aren’t aware of the situation here. We’ve got three days here, so see more patients, gather more information so he can report the situation to the relevant departments."

Xiao Li frowned and thought for a moment, "The issue is, there might not be as many people coming for the clinic tomorrow!

The reason so many people came today was that Aunt Hua checked the almanac and said today is suitable for seeing a doctor, which is why she agreed to let me treat Hehua."
