Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 221: The Prosperous Era Has Yet to Arrive

Chapter 221: Chapter 221: The Prosperous Era Has Yet to Arrive

Shen Xiuqin quickly said, "Hurry, hurry, arrange a car, Achi, go call the driver, take Grandpa to the hospital."

The old lady panicked, also dazed beside them, and fainted again momentarily.

The living room was in chaos.

Originally, Xu Qinghuan planned to feel the old man’s pulse, but at this moment, she had to attend to the old lady first. Jiang Xingye laid the old lady flat, Xu Qinghuan sat to one side, placing two fingers on the old lady’s arm.

After a moment, she changed hands.

The pulse was taut and rapid, or the inch pulse uniquely strong, long and taut, straight through the inch’s opening.

"The old lady has hypertension and coronary heart disease, right?" Xu Qinghuan chose her words carefully, modern hospitals usually diagnose using instruments and then describe illnesses according to Western medicine.

"Yes, yes, the doctor always says that during every checkup." Shen Xiuqin was so anxious she was at a loss.

Xu Qinghuan indicated for Jiang Xingye to raise the old lady’s upper body, she took out a white pill the size of a pinkie finger from her pocket, placed it into the old lady’s mouth, and after the pill slid down her throat, a refreshing sensation spread from her stomach to her entire body, and the old lady slowly awakened.

She looked around for the old man, and upon seeing his ashen face, she was deeply worried, "Quickly take your dad to the hospital, what are you waiting for?"

She was so anxious she didn’t even remember fainting.

Xu Qinghuan no longer attended to the old lady but came over to feel the old man’s pulse, the pulse on his two arms varied for a moment, then she said, "Huo Grandpa’s body is in worse shape than Jiang Grandpa’s."

To put it harshly, it’s like a burnt-out candle.

Huo Zhenqing silently bowed his head, feeling very sad.

However, Huo Grandpa laughed heartily, "The war is won, Hua Country is standing, even if I die now, what regrets would there be? I’ve long been prepared for this.

Earlier, I used to wonder whether I would get to see your grandfather again in my lifetime, had a bit of worry, but now, there are no regrets!"

Xu Qinghuan said, "The prosperous age is yet to come; how can Huo Grandpa say such things? Do you not want to see the prosperous era achieved through the revolutionaries’ blood and lives?"

Huo Grandpa was stunned for a moment, "I want to see it, it will come someday, it will!"

It’s just that he might not see it himself.

Xu Qinghuan then took out a small bottle of syrup from her bag, handed it to Shen Xiuqin, "Aunt Shen, pour out a small half spoon, dissolve it in warm water, and give it to Huo Grandpa."

Shen Xiuqin quickly took it, muttered several "oh, oh, oh" sounds, and hastily headed to the kitchen.

Huo Chi curiously asked the old lady, "Grandma, how do you feel after taking Qinghuan’s medicine?"

The old lady just then came to her senses, shook her head, stood up, and walked a few steps, feeling unprecedentedly light all over, as if her mind returned to her youth, completely clear.

No dizziness, no shortness of breath, no heavy legs, no palpitations or fatigue, none of the bad ailments.

"Oh dear, Huanhuan, what medicine did you give me just now? Why does Grandma feel like she’s returned to youth?"

The old lady was pleasantly surprised, with Xu Qinghuan around, she was no longer worried about the old man; she even spun around in the living room, looking more spirited than young people.

Xu Qinghuan quickly supported her, feeling that this old lady was truly lively, "Grandma, I’ve only temporarily controlled your condition; your body has been heavily depleted, and hypertension and coronary heart disease have been ongoing for years, to fully cure them, you still need to take another two courses of medication."

She added, "You should take it easy!"

Huo Chi and Huo Yuan burst into laughter.

Huo Zhenqing couldn’t help but chuckle too.

It was true joy!

Huo Grandpa frowned and said in irritation, "You better take it easy, or you’ll get dizzy and pass out again."

The old lady was too happy to argue with the old man, only gave him a glare and, with Xu Qinghuan’s help, sat down by the sofa.

"Huanhuan, your medical skills are excellent, tell me, how many more years can you keep Huo Grandpa alive?"

Xu Qinghuan pursed her lips, "With me around, you two elders should at least live to a hundred years, otherwise it would be a shame to my reputation."

Everyone laughed, no one took this seriously, feeling that Xu Qinghuan was comforting the old folks.

Xu Qinghuan saw through it, feeling a bit helpless, whatever, let’s wait and see!

She’s certainly determined to keep Huo Grandpa and Grandma healthy, not for anything else, with Huo Grandpa as a stabilizing force, at least the Jiang Family and Lu Family wouldn’t act recklessly.

In the book, the Huo Family never became Jiang Xingye’s support mainly because both Huo grandparents passed away within two years, and by the time he was in Yan City, the Huo Family was in a dormant phase, and Huo Zhenqing hadn’t risen, lacking the power to confront the Lu Family and Jiang Family.

The Yue Family once offered an olive branch to the Huo Family, but they refused to ally with any family, rejecting the alliance with the Yue Family.

Shen Xiuqin brought over the medicine; after the old man took it, he felt considerably less chest congestion, a lot more relaxed overall.

He suddenly looked at Xu Qinghuan with newfound respect, nodded approvingly, "Not bad, not bad, such medical skill at such a young age, remarkable!"

He gave Xu Qinghuan a thumbs up.

Shen Xiuqin said beside him, "Without her, who knows what would happen to our son, Huanhuan is truly a great benefactor to our family. I’ve even said, let’s take her as an adopted daughter with Zhenqing."

"That’s good news indeed, perfect since we have no girls in our family. I always say you and second son’s wife can’t give birth, what’s the use of giving birth to a slew of sons, huh? Each more mischievous than the other when young, and when grown, they’re never home, just cause trouble." The old lady candidly remarked, mocking them.

Shen Xiuqin felt helpless, "Mom, it’s not something me and my sister-in-law can decide, how can you blame us for this?"

However, thinking about it, having seven sons between two families is indeed rather too many.

Second brother’s family had three sons and didn’t want to have more, yet the old lady kept saying her only regret in life was not having a granddaughter, so they bitterly decided to try their luck again.

When the obstetrician came out from the delivery room announcing yet another son for their fourth child, second brother burst into tears.

Shen Xiuqin deeply felt for the two of them, feeling deeply the lesson of not forcing what’s not meant to be.

Having agreed before, Xu Qinghuan did not play coy anymore, the Huo family had good character and deep friendships with Jiang Grandpa, and she herself intended to make connections, so when Shen Xiuqin suggested adopting her as a goddaughter, she agreed.

The old lady was quite happy too; holding Jiang Xingye’s hand, she said, "Huanhuan will be our family’s girl from now on, and you’ll be our son-in-law.

Years ago, your grandmother and I joked about becoming in-laws, but later, she and your grandfather left secretly without leaving us a word, and the in-law bond wasn’t formed. I was quite regretful."

Her implication was that this bond was now renewed, and for the elderly, it truly was fulfilling.
