Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1326 Incomplete Five Elements
Generally speaking, when people reach the age of fifty, they have seen many different kinds of doctors, both Western and Chinese. What's more, the mother in front of her has much richer life experience than ordinary people, and this is the first time she has seen such a magical doctor like Bian Mu.

It's just a medical consultation! Why are you asking about my ancestors?

however……

Bian Mu's reputation was there for everyone to see. She had asked someone to inquire about him a long time ago. The medical skills of this sunny and handsome young doctor were honed through practicing with one patient after another. What was even more commendable was that Doctor Bian's medical ethics were also well-known. What's more, Doctor Bian spoke sincerely and confidently, so she had some idea of ​​how credible he was.

Although Bian Mu's presumption on the cause of his baby daughter's illness sounded a little unbelievable, Ms. Cheng's mother finally chose to trust Bian Mu.

"Doctor Bian, this is what happened. My mother did very well in the college entrance examination, ranking first in the province. She had to transfer her household registration to college when she was admitted, and as a result...she lost all the benefits in her hometown, such as the distribution of land and houses. My mother later lived a very smooth life in Lijin, and she went back to her hometown less often. Later, the relatives in her hometown asked my father to do some things in the city from time to time. I don’t remember the specific circumstances, but...the relationship became very strained, and by my generation, we have basically cut off contact. Let’s put it this way, we have long since stopped hearing about weddings and funerals in our hometown. My mother has made it clear many times that she will never return to the ancestral grave after a hundred years." The woman lowered her voice and explained as she recalled.

"Oh... no wonder! It doesn't sound like anything... then... why is your daughter so averse to anything related to rural life?! To be precise, in my opinion... she seems to be particularly averse to anything related to 'rustic'. For example, roasted sweet potatoes, it's not that she won't eat that kind of food in front of others. She probably won't eat it at all in front of others or behind their backs. I am convinced that I am not wrong about this. Do you know? There is almost no earthy feeling in your daughter's pulse. I don't know how much you know about basic Chinese medicine knowledge. This person! Without a solid foundation of earthy, her physical fitness will definitely not be very good, especially after the age of 50, various health indicators will most likely show a cliff-like decline trend." Bian Mu explained with a smile.

"Ah?! This can be detected?! She really has not eaten things like roasted sweet potatoes since she was a child. My mother and I are similar. Especially the ones sold at street stalls, we don't even look at them, Doctor Bian! This is at most a natural deviation in diet, right?! I don't think it will rise to the level of incomplete five elements, right?!" The woman's face changed slightly, and she questioned a few words very politely.

"Baked sweet potatoes... the baked sweet potatoes you mentioned are just one of the phenomena. As for clothing, as long as it has something to do with rural life, she has been extremely averse to it since she was a child, and even... regards it as an enemy. Think carefully and see if I am exaggerating?!" Having said that, Bian Mu crossed his fingers and hugged them in front of his abdomen, leaned back in his chair, and said no more.

He had to give the mother in front of him some time to digest the situation.

"Now that you've reminded me, it seems so... Really, I've never paid attention to her from this perspective... So... It turns out that in those aspects, she is really similar to her grandmother! It seems to make sense..."

"Excuse me, how old is your mother this year?" Suddenly remembering something, Bian Mu asked calmly.

"Oh! He passed away a few years ago. He was 69, one year away from being ... What Doctor Bian meant was..." When she said the latter part, the woman suddenly realized something. Her face turned slightly pale and she looked somewhat nervous.

"I see! Then... does your mother have any brothers or sisters in your hometown?" "I have two older brothers and a younger brother, five sisters in total. My mother is the only one who was admitted to university. The other elders have been farming in the countryside. I don't know if they came out to work later." The woman replied with a frown.

"Then...is your uncle, especially your eldest uncle, still alive now?" Bian Mu asked hurriedly.

"We haven't been in touch for a long time. I really know nothing about what's going on in my hometown... I understand! Doctor Bian taught me a hard lesson today. I was wondering back then, my mother seemed to be in good health! How could she die before she was seventy... If you calculate this way, does it mean that I won't live past seventy?!" At the end, the woman scared herself to death and her face immediately turned much paler.

"Hehe... medicine is quite complicated. If you can come up with a result with such simple reasoning and induction, then we can practice medicine independently after graduating from junior high school. Your worry is not necessary. However... your daughter's situation is indeed not ideal. From a genetic point of view, her fate with her grandmother's Chinese medicine should be very similar. I'm just guessing that when she was in college, she basically had no contact with her rural classmates in the same dormitory and class, and she would express contempt at home from time to time, right?"

Hearing this, the woman frowned and nodded slightly. Judging from her expression, she was obviously a little embarrassed at this time.

Bian Mu really guessed it.

"Let me make a few more wild guesses. Before she got married and started a family, she would never go home to eat the meals you cooked if she could eat in the company cafeteria. She would eat whatever was trendy, and she wouldn't even look at unpopular, especially traditional, meals. Not only that, after she got married, she hardly ever cooked at home. She was unfamiliar with kneading dough, making dumplings, buns, and pancakes... She never touched any of them. She would either eat in the company cafeteria or order takeout, and would only go back to her parents' home on weekends at most to experience the warmth of home. Am I right?"

The woman's IQ was always online. She already understood about 50% of what Bian Mu was trying to say. When she heard this, her face became even uglier.

"There's no other way. For her healthy future, I have to continue making a few blind guesses. Fortunately, your family has found a good son-in-law. The wedding house is most likely purchased by your family, the decoration fee is paid by the man, and the furniture and appliances are also borne by the man. However, he can't be considered a live-in son-in-law. Moreover, your son-in-law can cook and his cooking skills are not bad, but... your daughter always thinks the food is too homely and insists on ordering takeout. What's more troublesome is that she hardly drinks tea and almost never drinks plain water. She drinks milk tea, coffee, juice, and yogurt every day. Am I right?" Without stopping in one breath, Bian Mu made guesses like a machine gun for a long time.

"Stop talking... I think I understand what Doctor Bian means. In fact, we also think that she can't go on like this, but... she just won't listen! Sometimes, I can't help but get angry with her. So... this kind of troublesome thing... is it a disease? If it is a disease, can it be cured?"

"Well... let's just discuss it today. A three-foot-thick ice does not form overnight. It's a matter of three generations. Excuse me for being frank, but you probably have Xiao Ran too! But... that's all later. Let me explain the most basic medical principles to you first. You and your daughter should go back and think about it carefully. This is a typical chronic disease, and it's already a stubborn disease. It's best for you to cooperate and get it treated well." At this point, Bian Mu felt a little thirsty. He paused for a moment, picked up the water cup on the table and prepared to take a sip. Unexpectedly, the cup was empty. It was early in the morning and he had no time to get hot water.
