Xiao Chen was going to follow Mr. Lin to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law first. After telling Uncle Wan to go out, Xiao Chen drove with Mr. Lin to a hospital.
When Xiao Chen drove for more than an hour and arrived at a tertiary hospital in Binhai City and parked the car there, Mr. Lin was already waiting.
"Dr. Xiao, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are here."
There are many tertiary hospitals in Binhai City. Xiao Chen often goes to the ones that are just affiliated hospitals. As for other hospitals, he has basically never been to them.
Now following inside, Mr. Lin took Xiao Chen there directly, but he learned that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were walking in the garden of the hospital.
Nowadays, hospital facilities are getting better and better. There is a garden community here, which is usually used for those hospitalized patients to walk.
Compared with the unpleasant smell of medicine and disinfectant in the ward, there is no such smell at all in the garden. Xiao Chen has seen many patients, family members, and accompanying female nurses walking and exercising in the garden.
, basking in the sun.
"Mom and Dad." Lin Yingcan walked over to an old couple.
"Yingcan, are you here?"
The old couple were very happy when they saw Lin Yingcan.
After all, Lin Yingcan treats them like his own biological parents.
"Mom and Dad, this is Dr. Xiao."
Doctor Xiao?
This old couple is still surprised. Aren't they in the hospital and have an attending doctor to treat them?
Why did you invite a young man to come over and show them now?
"Hello, Dr. Xiao."
"Hello, old gentleman, old lady."
Xiao Chen and Lin Yingcan took the two people to a quiet place to sit down.
Xiao Chen was going to check the two of them first.
After Xiao Chen asked the old man to sit in front of him and took his pulse, he found that the old man's three-high syndrome was particularly obvious. Moreover, the old man's illness mainly occurs when he suffers from gout.
"Old sir, do you have high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and high blood sugar? In addition, your gout is also very severe?"
Nowadays, these diseases are diseases of wealth. People who live a better life are more likely to suffer from these diseases.
Of course, these diseases have now spread to rural areas, and many elderly people in rural areas also suffer from these conditions.
Things like gout were not that common before, but now they have become more common in recent years.
"Dr. Xiao,
You are right."
It is normal for the elderly's body functions to gradually decline and their ailments to become more and more frequent.
If there was no family situation, Lin Yingcan would definitely not think of anything else.
Xiao Chen checked the old lady again and found that the old lady's condition was similar, especially the high blood pressure and gout were more serious.
Diseases like these can now be suppressed by relying on Western medicine.
However, in Xiao Chen's opinion, it can be cured.
"Dr. Xiao, how are my parents?"
"These diseases are more and more common among the elderly now, but they are quite normal. Now I want to know about the situation of the old gentleman's family."
The old gentleman’s family?
"Dr. Xiao, do you know this?" The old gentleman felt strange.
"Old sir, your son-in-law has told me some basic information, but I still don't know more about it. There must be a reason for the decline of your family, and the most terrifying thing is suffering from illness."
The so-called wealth cannot last more than three generations, which is not terrible.
The most terrifying thing may be extinction, that is, there will be no descendants.
There must be a reason for the family of the old gentleman and his wife, who used to be the richest man in the county, to suddenly become like this.
Xiao Chen was going to start by asking about ailments and genetic diseases.
"Old sir, I wonder if there are any hereditary diseases in your family?"
Family genetic disease?
Not only Western medicine pays attention to the history of these diseases, but now Chinese medicine also begins to pay attention. Xiao Chen feels that it is beneficial to ask clearly.
Things like heredity are inherently scientific and do not necessarily refer to Western medicine.
"Hereditary history? I've never heard of it. In the past, elderly members of the family could live to be seventy, eighty, or even ninety years old."
The old gentleman and his wife thought about it for a long time, but they had never heard of anyone in the family suffering from the so-called genetic disease.
They have never heard of things like cancer.
However, recently, several uncles in the family have left one after another. The doctor did not say anything and just died like that.
Like sudden death!
These all came very suddenly.
There were no signs at all!
"No." said the old gentleman.
If not, Xiao Chen can rule this out first.
"Then I heard from Mr. Lin that your family used to be
The richest man in the county, why has it been like this all these years?"
To become the richest man in a county, one must have a net worth of at least several billion.
In fact, this is really not simple anymore.
"In the past, there were officials and business people in the family, and the family also trained many college students, all of whom were members of the family. However, first things happened to the officials, and then to the business people, and the family gradually declined. Now. Now
In the family, many are bachelors, and some have married and their wives have left. Originally, Yingcan was still providing financial support, but now it seems that it is really difficult for a family of hundreds of people to rely on him alone."
On this point, the couple is very clear.
Although Lin Yingcan is their son-in-law, he is not a live-in son-in-law.
Even if it was a son-in-law or even a son, how could he possibly be able to support a family with so many people by himself?
Moreover, no matter how much money you give, if you are lazy and lazy, you will become a parasite in the end, and it will only harm Lin Yingcan himself.
"Then in your hometown, are some people jealous and others jealous?"
Rural areas are very complex.
On this point, Xiao Chen knows best because he grew up in Xiaojia Village. However, because he and his master and his wife have no interests or conflicts with the people in the village.
Like the original Widow Wang, she was bullied by the villagers in the village.
"This is definitely true. Although I rarely go back, I can also see that especially in the past few years, when the family was at its peak, even though the neighbors and fellow villagers around them didn't say anything, there were many who were jealous and jealous.
Of course, the family has actually brought many fellow villagers out to build roads and bridges in their hometown to support the development of primary and secondary schools."
The old gentleman recalled the time when he went back to his hometown. The situation in his hometown was naturally vivid in his mind.
It is precisely because of this that he doesn't want to go back. He would rather be in a big city than go back to his hometown. Especially for someone like him who only has one daughter. When he goes back, he will be told harsh words by those people, making them afraid to go out.
What to say to others.
"Then in your family, who has the final say now?"
"Lao Qi." There are eight brothers and sisters in his group, two are girls, the others are all boys, and he ranks fourth among them.
Several have died now.
Of the eight, except for the two sisters who got married, there are six left, and four are already dead.
Speaking of which, it really made him feel uncomfortable.
