Village Doctor's Women-Chapter 157 - 152 Did Wang Jian’s medical skills go wrong?

Not long after Wang Jian left, Zhang Li awoke.

The moment he woke up, Zhang Li was still a bit groggy. His body felt weak, but compared to the agony he had been in, this weakness was nothing.

Oh, right...

Speaking of the pain, Zhang Li recalled that the problem seemed to stem from the medicine he’d taken.

He immediately sat up, pulled open his waistband, and looked down.

"Phew! It’s fine! Everything’s okay now."

Zhang Li breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed back onto the bed.

Xiao Jian is really incredible... He was genuinely terrified in retrospect. While marveling at his recovery, he still felt a phantom pain. It was psychosomatic. Zhang Li felt that even the slightest touch would be painful.

Can I still use it?

That was Zhang Li’s biggest concern right now.

Li Liping had just finished her shower. Coming out of the bathroom, she saw Zhang Li was awake and happily snuggled up to him. They embraced for a while. Zhang Li then asked her what had happened while he was unconscious, including what Wang Jian had said.

After Li Liping told him about the treatment process, Zhang Li couldn’t sit still.

On the nightstand to his left were the Medicine Pills he and Zhang Quan had gone to such lengths to acquire. He had once considered them priceless treasures, but now... he didn’t dare touch them. The mere sight of the pills filled him with dread and made the phantom pain return.

Without hesitation, Zhang Li ran straight to the bathroom, poured all the Medicine Pills into the toilet, and flushed.

Li Liping watched, stunned. Leaning against the bathroom doorway, she asked, "Didn’t you consider these treasures?"

Her tone wasn’t mocking; she genuinely didn’t understand.

"Treasures?" Zhang Li gasped. "Those... ’treasures’... almost killed me."

Afterward, Zhang Li felt as if he had accomplished something major, like a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders. He felt much lighter. When he turned and saw Li Liping’s expression, however, he knew what she was thinking. Zhang Li chuckled. "You don’t understand men. To us, that thing... it’s a matter of life and death."

"Well..." Li Liping shrugged. "Wang Jian said that once you’ve mostly recovered, you should go see him. He can help you with... this."

Of course, Zhang Li knew what Li Liping was talking about. For some reason, however, after his experience with the Medicine Pills, a psychological shadow lingered. He didn’t show it, though, merely nodding in agreement to see Wang Jian in the next few days.

Zhang Li recovered quickly, regaining his strength within a few days. During that time, Wang Jian also treated Zhang Li’s other hidden ailment.

「Two weeks had passed since Wang Jian performed the bloodletting.」

On this particular night, Zhang Li and Li Liping were alone at home.

Seeing Zhang Li’s guilty expression, Li Liping immediately scooted over to lie beside him. She hugged him and said softly, "It’s okay. Maybe there was a problem on Wang Jian’s end. It has nothing to do with you. We’ll go ask him tomorrow and see what’s what."

"A problem with Wang Jian’s Medical Skills?"

Li Liping had only said it to soothe him.

Zhang Li didn’t respond directly, only giving a noncommittal grunt. The couple had a tacit understanding when it came to Wang Jian’s Medical Skills; after all, they had both experienced his work firsthand. They fell silent.

Li Liping gently patted Zhang Li’s chest, comforting him. She could feel his tension, and his expression only confirmed it.

With things like this, the more anxious you get, the harder it becomes.

Events in the Zhang household unfolded quietly, but the night was destined to be anything but peaceful.

The next morning, Zhang Li was woken by a desperate urge to urinate.

Li Liping was stirred awake by his movement. "What time is it?"

"I don’t know! I have to pee!"

Zhang Li didn’t have time to check the time; he was already rushing out of the room as he spoke. Behind him, Li Liping watched as Zhang Li ran naked toward the bathroom.

But soon, Li Liping realized something was amiss.

"Wait!"

"What’s wrong?" Zhang Li asked, startled. He paced on the spot, and then he, too, noticed something was amiss. "What the hell?"

"What’s going on?" Li Liping asked, covering her mouth. Looks like there was nothing wrong with Wang Jian’s Medical Skills after all, she thought.

Zhang Li was ecstatic. "I knew it would work!"

Forgetting his urge to pee, he shouted and pounced toward her, but his expression immediately turned to one of confusion.

"How could this happen?"

"Why?"

"Just... why?"

"It was working just fine a second ago!"
