Qin Silong set off to deliver breakfast to Su Bin, while Chen Youwei prepared to head to work at the governmental office.
Meanwhile, Qin Zhenzhen took out the seasonings she had brought and carefully placed them in a small porcelain bottle.
“I have three bottles of seasonings here, two for Uncle Chen’s family, and one for the governor,” she explained.
Chen Youwei hesitated, understanding what Qin Zhenzhen had in mind. He knew about the attempts to hinder Su Bin from becoming a Cultivated Talent, as Yang Gan had revealed everything in the letter. Although he had already agreed to let Su Bin stay at his home, Qin Zhenzhen still seemed concerned.
She rea.s.sured him, “Uncle Chen, please don’t misunderstand. I am giving the seasonings to the governor not to bribe him into favoring Su Bin. I know that would be a major taboo, and we should never resort to such means.”
“In truth, I intend to use the governor’s endors.e.m.e.nt to promote these excellent seasonings. My plan is to establish a market here in the prefecture and find a store to sell them on behalf of others.”
Chen Youwei felt relieved, but he warned Qin Zhenzhen, “The governor hasn’t been in the best mood lately. Although the seasonings are good, I doubt he will be in the mood to help promote them.”
“If you’re determined to open a market in the prefecture, I can a.s.sist you in promoting it, but the impact may not be as significant as you hope.”
Curious about the governor’s recent state, Qin Zhenzhen inquired, “Uncle Chen, what’s troubling him?”
Madame Chen explained, “For some unknown reason, the governor’s mother is suffering from severe back pain, making it difficult for her to stand up straight.”
“Many doctors have been sent to check her condition. Initially, they diagnosed her with bone spurs and treated her accordingly, but she hasn’t shown any signs of improvement,” Madame Chen continued.
“It’s been three months, and she’s in pain every day. Despite taking medication regularly, her condition hasn’t improved. When I visited her recently, she had lost a lot of weight. I heard her say that she doesn’t want to live anymore…’
But Qin Zhenzhen was thinking that Old Lady’s condition should be diagnosed with a protruding disc.
But there was another possibility that was the opposite – the waist plate was dented.
Generally speaking, the lumbar disc was more serious than the dent, but if the lumbar disc was dented and pressed on the nerves, it was also a very serious problem.
So many doctors failed to cure her, which meant that her symptoms were very complicated and she could not make any guesses.
It would be best if they could check it out personally.
Qin Zhenzhen said to Chen Youwei. “Uncle Chen, I have a secret recipe for bone spurs. I wonder if it can help Old Lady.”
Chen Youwei looked at Qin Zhenzhen in disbelief. “For real?”
Qin Zhenzhen exclaimed, “Yes, it’s true! My grandma taught me the secret recipe. You may not know this, but she hails from the prestigious Jiang Family in the capital.”
“Though she later married into the countryside due to her impaired vision, she was once renowned for her exceptional medical expertise, particularly her unique method for treating bone spurs.”
The Jiang Family’s legacy was extensively doc.u.mented in the original book. Historically, the women excelled in food therapy and cooking, while the men were renowned for their medical prowess, specializing in orthopedic physiotherapy and injury recovery. The family’s medical lineage had flourished for centuries.
With determination, Qin Zhenzhen resolved not to hide her grandmother’s prestigious background any longer. She saw this as an opportunity to showcase her own medical skills, inherited from her grandmother.
Chen Youwei couldn’t contain his surprise. “Your grandma is genuinely from the Jiang Family in the capital? And she truly taught you these remarkable skills?”
Coming from a humble background, Chen Youwei had heard tales of the renowned Jiang Family in the capital..
