He remembered that Yu Maode had once treated patients with hemiplegia, and his acupuncture was very effective for such conditions. It seemed he could try sending Xia Shisheng to Yu Maode for treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, he said to Xia Shisheng, \"Uncle Xia, I have an uncle-in-law who is an old traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in Jiangcheng. His medical skills are very profound, especially his acupuncture, which is unique. If your nerves aren't necrotic and it's just a hematoma compressing them, I think he might be able to treat it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Zhu and her mother were both surprised and delighted. Xia Zhu asked, \"Brother Xinghui, are you telling the truth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui nodded affirmatively, \"Of course it's true, he has cured quite a few people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Shisheng was happy at first, but then he shook his head, \"But our family has no money!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Zhu said, \"Brother Xinghui, could you please beg your uncle-in-law to help treat my father first? I will definitely pay him back once I earn money. If I can't pay it back, I'll do anything!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui smiled, \"It doesn't matter. My uncle-in-law is a very good person. Many people who can't afford medical treatment go to him, and he only charges a very small fee. He often says that a physician's heart is like a parent's.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, there was one thing Su Xinghui didn't say: Yu Maode did indeed charge very little to the poor, but for the wealthy, his fees were outrageously high. However, since those wealthy people went to him for treatment, it was certain they had no other options elsewhere; as long as Yu Maode could cure them, they were willing to pay no matter how much he charged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for this, Yu Maode wouldn't be able to support his family's livelihood. Even a divine physician has to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come to think of it, Yu Maode was a very interesting person. He believed in the heart of a physician but wasn't pedantic. No matter how poor you were, he wouldn't provide free treatment; even a symbolic fee was fine. He said that people wouldn't cherish things that didn't cost money. Meanwhile, he had no psychological burden when it came to overcharging the wealthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this wasn't something to be told to outsiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These principles of Yu Maode had a great influence on Su Xinghui. It was just a pity that in his previous life, he had been too aloof and only truly understood Yu Maode after he turned forty, by which time it was already too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he had been given a chance to be reborn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Zhu was overjoyed. Her father had been injured for nearly a year, which had kept a dark cloud hanging over their family. Now, Su Xinghui's words were like a ray of sunshine, and the dark cloud was about to be dispelled. This made her feel that she was willing to do anything for Su Xinghui at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Zhu asked, \"Then when can we go for treatment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui smiled and said to Xia Shisheng, \"Uncle Xia, you should prepare at home these days. When there's an opportunity, I will send you to Jiangcheng for treatment!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That afternoon, as Su Xinghui was riding his bicycle back to the township government, he happened to run into Lei Ming, the chief of the police station, while passing by. Lei Ming saw him, waved his hand, and went inside first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui got off his bike, pushed it into the police station, left it outside Lei Ming’s office, and went in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Ming tossed him a cigarette. Su Xinghui laughed and tossed it back: \"Chief Lei, you know I don't smoke!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Ming stood up to pour a cup of cold boiled water and said: \"Then have a cup of water!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui took the water, tilted his head back, and finished it in one go. He set the cup down and asked: \"Chief Lei, is there something you need me for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Ming was a young man in his thirties, a former soldier who had been working at the Public Security Bureau for several years. He had only been sent to Manghuling Township to serve as the police station chief last year. He was quite upright, and he and Su Xinghui had cooperated well in their work, so Su Xinghui had a fairly good impression of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Ming frowned and said: \"It’s that Madman Luo again. This morning, he brought a few thugs to the station to report that they’d been beaten. When I asked, he said the person who hit them was Su Xinghui, so I just persuaded him to leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madman Luo was the nickname for Luo Ming'an, and it couldn't have been more fitting. Sometimes he truly acted as if he had lost his mind, beating anyone he found displeasing. This gave Lei Ming and his men a headache, but whenever they arrested Madman Luo and his gang, they would receive a call from Jin Taihe shortly after, leaving Lei Ming helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said: \"Chief Lei, then thank you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Ming waved his hand: \"No need for thanks. I know this must have been stirred up by them again; they deserved to be beaten.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said: \"That Madman Luo, he just does crazy things. This morning, for no reason, he went mad and kicked over a basket of eggs a roadside vendor was selling. All the eggs broke. I told them to pay for it, and not only did he refuse, he tried to hit me. You tell me, is there any logic in that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Ming nodded: \"That is certainly their fault, but you should be careful. It was fine here, as he didn't get what he wanted from me, but he’ll surely go find his uncle again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of Jin Taihe, Lei Ming couldn't stop shaking his head. He strongly disapproved of this deputy township head who was so protective of his own kin, but what could he do? Jin was the leader in charge of the police station and was senior in the township government; he relied on his seniority, and other leaders sometimes had to give him face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui stood up and said: \"Alright, Chief Lei, thank you for the warning. I will be careful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Ming saw Su Xinghui out, and Su Xinghui returned to the township government.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he returned to the Party and Government Office, Wei Bingyi said: \"Little Su, you're back. Secretary Chen wants you to go to his office.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui acknowledged him and went to Chen Hongfu’s office. He poured a cup of cold boiled water for Chen Hongfu as usual and sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui guessed that Chen Hongfu was looking for him because of the incident where he hit Luo Ming'an. Sure enough, Chen Hongfu asked: \"Did you hit Luo Ming'an this morning?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Chen Hongfu was looking into the matter, his expression was not unkind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui told Chen Hongfu what had happened that morning. After listening, Chen Hongfu nodded and said: \"I knew it, it must be that Madman Luo stirring up trouble again. He didn't know what he said to Township Head Jin this morning, but Township Head Jin ran to me to complain, saying you beat his nephew for no reason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Hongfu didn't have a good impression of Luo Ming'an either; otherwise, he wouldn't have called him \"Madman Luo\" in front of Su Xinghui. If Jin Taihe had heard that, it would have surely caused another storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said: \"Secretary Chen, do you think I would hit his nephew for no reason?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Hongfu laughed: \"Of course I believe you. Everyone knows his nephew runs rampant in the township and stirs up trouble. Since that's the case, I will explain it to Township Head Jin for you. After all, Township Head Jin is an old comrade, and it's understandable that he protects his nephew a bit sometimes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui nodded: \"Then thank you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Hongfu generally wouldn't slight Jin Taihe, but today, since the incident was caused by Luo Ming'an and the one who hit him was Su Xinghui, he couldn't possibly criticize Su Xinghui. In fact, he had long been dissatisfied with Jin Taihe for relying on his seniority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Hongfu waved his hand and said: \"No need to thank me. I am standing on the side of justice. You did nothing wrong, so I don't have to give him face. By the way, how is the work at Wild Boar Gully going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said: \"The breeding farm should be finished in ten days or so, but the first batch of game won't be ready for market for a few months. The bamboo weaving factory's production is quite stable now, and a batch has already been produced. I'll call Jiangcheng later to see when they can come over to sign the contract.\" ===== CHAPTER 228 =====\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>several months; the production at the bamboo weaving factory is quite stable now, and a batch of bamboo crafts has already been produced. I will make a few more calls to Jiangcheng later to see when they can come over to sign the contract.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1554,"2026-06-16T17:50:40.887Z","2026-06-16T17:54:29.625Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","f7c3fb15f17a0092186346944784dc9512cccc5d655a5e97dc7301c59d879535","the-romantic-path-to-success-chapter-47","the-romantic-path-to-success-chapter-45",572,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-romantic-path-to-success-cover.jpg"]
