Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Hearing Chen Yu mention Zhao Jinquan’s father’s overindulgence and bad habits, Wang Dequan couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Zhao, what hobbies does your father have? What did you condone him in?”
Zhao Jinquan’s mind went blank.
His father, indeed, had a very bad hobby.
Moreover, this bad habit also carries some danger.
Other than Zhao Jinquan and his son, only his relatives in his hometown knew about this.
How did Chen Yu find out?
Sighing, Chen Yu said earnestly, “Your father could have lived for another 20 to 30 years, but because of your excessive indulgence, his health was greatly affected.”
“That led to your father ending up in this state.”
“Everyone has a desire for food, and it’s understandable to love delicious food.”
“But what your father ate was too dangerous.”
“It’s fine if he eats it once or twice occasionally, but every day? It’s no surprise his life is in danger.”
“Dr. Chen, what are you talking about? Why can’t 1 understand a single word?”
Wang Dequan was confused.
Chen Yu first said that Zhao Jinquan’s father had a bad habit, then said that he fell ill because of Zhao Jinquan’s indulgence.
Suddenly, Chen Yu changed the topic and brought up Zhao Jinquan’s father’s appetite for delicious food.
Could it be that Father Zhao had eaten something he shouldn’t have eaten?
“Doctor… doctor… This is not my son’s fault.”
“It’s all my fault for being greedy.”
Elder Zhao, who was on the verge of death on the bed, began to defend his son with difficulty.
His son had advised him, but he had been eating this since he was young and could not change his habits.
He believed that as long as he was careful, there would not be any major problems.
Both father and son were sensible people, so although Chen Yu didn’t mention the name of the delicacy, the meaning behind his words was already very clear to them.
“President Wang,” Chen Yu said, “have you ever been to the Miao Jiang region?”
“Of course I have.”
“Miao Jiang is rich in all kinds of unique medicinal herbs,” Wang Dequan said without hesitation. “I’m in the medicinal herb business. How could I not have been there?”
All kinds of poisonous insects and herbs that others regarded as poison could be turned into medicinal herbs that could cure illnesses and save lives after some processing.
In addition, Miao Jiang was also rich in other traditional herbal medicines.
It was one of the main producing areas of traditional herbal medicine in China.
“Of course.” Chen Yu nodded and continued, “Do you know that there’s a top-notch delicacy in the Miao Jiang region?”
“A top-notch delicacy? You mean wild mushrooms…?”
Wang Dequan roughly understood Chen Yu’s meaning.
Wild mushrooms were a top delicacy in the Miao Jiang region.
There were many types of wild mushrooms there, and they all tasted very delicious.
More than ten years ago, Wang Dequan had eaten a wild mushroom hotpot once, and he still couldn’t forget it.
“Dr. Chen, 1 understand now!”
Wang Dequan exclaimed.
“Elder Zhao is seriously ill because of his eating habits.”
“By bad habits, you should be referring to his habit of eating poisonous wild mushrooms, right?”
“That’s right.”
Chen Yu revealed the answer.
The reason why Elder Zhao had become like this was not because of the aging of his organs, nor was it because someone had done something to him.
There was only one reason.
Too many toxins had accumulated in his body.
Most wild mountain mushrooms produced in the Miao Jiang region carried a certain degree of toxin.
Some poisonous wild mushrooms could be processed and eaten by heating them at high temperatures.
However, not every time could the toxin or poison be removed entirely, even after heating it to a high temperature.
Chen Yu discovered the reason as soon as he entered earlier.
Eider Zhao had been eating wild mushrooms since he was a child. He was in his fifties this year, so he had been eating wild mushrooms for almost 50 years.
“Brother Zhao, I have to say a few words to you.”
“Although this is the first time we’ve met, I can tell that you’re definitely a filial son.” Wang Dequan sighed.
“But there are many ways to be filial to your parents.”
“From your accent, you should be a local of Miao Jiang.”
“You know that eating poisonous wild mushrooms for a long time will cause harm to your body. As your son, how can your father indulge in it?”
As he spoke, an ominous folk song involuntarily appeared in Wang Dequan’s mind.
Red umbrella, white stalk, lying down after having your fill.
Bury, bury, bury together in the mountains.
“It’s all my fault. If I had known that taking poisonous mushrooms for a long time would cause such serious consequences, I wouldn’t have let my father keep eating them.”
Zhao Jinquan was filled with grief.
His filial piety was actually the main culprit behind his father’s serious illness.
“Dr. Chen, please cure my father! 1 promise to help him get rid of this habit in the future.”
Understanding the reason for his father’s serious illness, Zhao Jinquan was in so much pain that he wanted to die.
He wanted to slap himself a few times.
His father, who had worked hard all his life, had no hobbies.
He didn’t smoke or drink, but he enjoyed eating a mouthful of mushroom soup.
Zhao Jinquan once advised his father that although wild mushroom soup was delicious, it was poisonous.
He could eat occasionally, but not too much.
His father did not think much of it and believed that those people were poisoned because of improper cooking methods.
If wild mushroom soup weren’t cooked well, a poisoning reaction would occur.
Once cooked, there would definitely be no probability of poisoning occurring.
Zhao Jinquan couldn’t persuade his father and couldn’t bear to be forceful, as he was raised by his father alone after losing his mother when he was young.
When he thought of how his father had raised him with great difficulty, Zhao Dequan could only allow his father to indulge himself.
“It’s not difficult to cure your father’s illness,” Chen Yu said coolly. “What’s difficult is how to help him get rid of this addiction.”
“I have a medicine in my psychological treatment room that can cure his illness.”
“But if he continues to eat poisonous wild mushrooms after his body recovers, his illness will relapse soon.”
“Psychological treatment room?”
Zhao Jinquan’s surprised expression showed hesitation.
“Are you a psychologist?”
Chen Yu took out a business card and handed it to Zhao Jinquan.
Zhao Jinquan was stunned.
When Chen Yu asked Zhao Jinquan to address him as Dr. Chen, Zhao Jinquan subconsciously thought that Chen Yu was an attending doctor at some hospital.
Never in his dreams would she have thought that Chen Yu was just a psychologist.
Since when did a psychologist start to study physiological diseases and be so confident in treating them?
Looking at the dumbfounded Zhao Jinquan, Wang Dequan walked to his side and whispered, “Brother Zhao, since I think of you as a friend at first sight, 1’11 tell you a little about Dr. Chen’s ability.”
“Dr. Chen is not an ordinary psychologist. He’s someone from the other side with great abilities.”
After saying so, Wang Dequan told Zhao Jinquan about Chen Yu helping him in a voice that only Zhao Jinquan could hear.
“So he is this kind of person!”
Zhao Jinquan exclaimed.
“Mr. Zhao,” Chen Yu said with a smile that was not a smile. “What kind of person?”
“Dr. Chen, don’t misunderstand. 1 don’t mean anything else. I’m just saying that I can’t believe my luck to be able to meet such an expert like you.”
“Don’t worry. After this crisis, I’ll immediately throw away all the wild mushrooms at home and call my relatives one by one. 1 won’t let my father come into contact with any poisonous wild mushroom again.”
“If you want your father to quit this addiction, apart from relying on your constant reminders, you’ll also need his cooperation,” Chen Yu said.
“If he doesn’t want to give up this appetite, no matter what you do, he will always find a way to get wild mushrooms..”
