I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 609 - 593: Suddenly Disappeared
Chapter 609: Chapter 593: Suddenly Disappeared
The Qiao Family sat in the minibus at the back.
Whether it was yesterday’s bridal banquet or today’s wedding reception, both were bustling and went smoothly.
Unexpectedly, after the wedding ceremony ended, an Uncle from the Qi Family suddenly collapsed while drinking.
The Uncle had happily drunk a few extra glasses, and with preexisting blood pressure and heart conditions, the excitement caused his heart to stop beating.
This was a wedding reception hosted by the Qi Family, with the bride’s family seated at the front.
Everything happened so suddenly; at first, no one realized what was happening. The room was noisy, with the tape recorder and speakers blaring festive songs, and a few representatives from the groom’s side were diligently drinking with the bride’s family.
That’s the way it is with our people: only when there is alcohol can the dinner table liven up, a time to "make merry over wine."
So for a while, no one paid attention to that corner, and even when someone yelled, it was drowned out by the clamor.
However, Qiao Ye, standing at the front, immediately noticed something unusual, perhaps because she was a doctor.
She didn’t have time to say anything to Qi Feng by her side, but she quickly ran towards Uncle Qi’s direction. Only then did everyone realize something was amiss, and they all turned their attention to one of the tables in the center.
It was then that the problem was realized. Everyone stopped drinking, and the MC hurried to switch off the tape recorder. Calm orders were given by Qiao Ye, and then everyone saw Qiao Ye’s sister dash to the nearby rest area and quickly return with a bag containing the silver needles that Qiao Ye often used.
At that moment, Uncle Qi lay motionless on the hotel carpet, his face ashen, the area cleared around him, and a 120 call had been made.
Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi looked pale; Uncle Qi was their elder and had always had a good relationship with them.
The third Uncle was old and could not be expected to drink, so he was left to chat with former colleagues and leaders from his previous unit. Who would have thought that as they were talking, half a glass of white wine would be gulped down?
And then, trouble happened.
Mrs. Qi’s face turned deathly pale. If something really went wrong at her son’s wedding...
But her anxiety was palpable. Then everyone witnessed the bride of the day, with slender, ivory hands, swiftly inserting the silver needles.
In the blink of an eye, she had inserted over a dozen needles near the chest.
Then on the forehead, then on the fingers.
By this time, the ambulance still hadn’t arrived, as it had only been a few minutes since the emergency call, and they couldn’t arrive that quickly.
The Qiao Family members also came over. Qiao Qingyu saw Qiao Ye, as if transformed into another person, and suddenly remembered Da Niu, the dirty, crying girl she had seen squatting in the corner back at Qiao Family Team.
At this moment, the solemn expression on Qiao Ye’s face slowly softened.
Suddenly, Qi Feng’s trembling voice rang out, "Great-Uncle."
The old man slowly opened his eyes.
His complexion showed a slight improvement.
Moments before, the room of several hundred people had fallen so quiet that you could have heard a pin drop. Then, it seemed like everyone exhaled in unison.
Then the ambulance also arrived, and the doctor, after examining the patient, turned out to know Qiao Ye.
He told Mr. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao that the patient’s treatment had been very timely, warning firmly that in the future, he must never drink alcohol, especially since he took antihypertensive medication in the morning.
Uncle Qi’s family also followed him to the hospital.
Qiao Ye also breathed a sigh of relief. Saying she wasn’t nervous would have been a lie, especially when she felt his pulse at the very moment the old man’s heart had stopped. Thankfully, he was discovered and treated in time, and it wasn’t due to a pathological issue but rather an accidental shock.
The wedding banquet continued, but aside from the people of Qiao Family Team who knew of Qiao Ye’s medical skills, the city dwellers present saw her in a new light and felt a surge of honor and pride.
She was nothing short of a miracle doctor.
And a miracle doctor had emerged from their Qi Family and had become their daughter-in-law.
What this signified was clear to everyone!
No one avoids illness in a lifetime of consuming grains, and even as medical standards rise, there are still many things that cannot be cured. Today, they had witnessed firsthand, Qi Feng’s wife using her needles, bringing someone back from the brink of death.
So, from then on, no one dared to look down on Qiao Ye again. Then, after the honeymoon period ended, the hospital doctors even invited Qiao Ye to lecture at their integrative medicine department.
The lecture was about how to treat conditions like the one that befell Uncle Qi at the wedding reception.
