Chapter 199: The Confession of a Xia Family Physician
My name is Xia Tonghe, a person with an ordinary appearance, who doesn't like to communicate very much, and has a very bad temper.
But in the entire Xia family, there will be no one with a better reputation than mine.
Yes, even if you count the wise head of the family and the second young master who seems to have begun to become wise in the past six months.
Almost every member of my clan never spoke of me in the slightest ill word.
Whenever I am mentioned, there are basically only compliments and compliments.
Because I'm a physician.
And I am the number one physician in the clan, even if I look at the entire Qingyang City, apart from those three alchemists, there will definitely be no other physician who is more powerful than me.
Of course, in private, I always thought that if it was just a simple test of medical skills, even the three alchemists in the city would definitely be inferior to me in terms of level, and I had such confidence.
However, it is a pity that although I have far more comprehension ability than ordinary people in the medical path, I do not have the slightest talent for martial arts, so I am destined to have no chance with the alchemist in my life.
Many people feel sorry for me for this, but I don't think it's a big deal.
People live in this world, naturally have their own roles to play, and all kinds of lives are different, so that they can weave this huge world with their canine teeth.
I've always felt that we shouldn't always focus on what we can't get, because then we're never going to be happy.
We should always remind ourselves to see what we already have, which can make life happier.
This is something I have understood since I was very young.
Because unlike many ethnic groups, I didn't have the surname Xia when I was very young.
At that time, I was an orphan, and one of the many beggars in Qingyang City, and it was the Xia family who adopted me when I was about to starve to death.
Then they took me to a place of urgency and competition, where I and hundreds of other beggars who looked like they were supposed to be like me were taught and trained in all sorts of ways.
It's hard, it's cruel, every day beggars die in training, and new beggars join in.
But it's very satisfying because at least, I'm able to eat enough every day.
Yes, I don't think many people can understand what kind of happiness it is for a beggar who is always hungry to be able to eat enough every day.
Even after decades, I can still tell you with great certainty that I am willing to give everything, even my life, for that happiness!
However, my training did not last long, because it soon became clear that although my training performance was mediocre, and it was difficult to even meet the passing standards, I was far more sensitive in my medical comprehension than others.
Then I was taken to another place, and I started to learn all the things that were related to medicine.
When was that?
It's been so long that I can't remember it clearly.
Anyway, at least more than ten years have passed, and I finally became a qualified physician in the family after several successful treatments, and was given the surname Xia.
The head of the family at that time personally named me, and from then on, I was called Xia Tonghe.
That's right, at that time, the previous head of the family was still in power, and as for the current head of the family, he was still a little kid at that time.
It may seem like a bit of a reliant on the old, but I did grow up watching the current head of the family.
And the moment when I was given the name and given the surname Xia was also the most glorious moment in my life, until now.
I am fifty-two years old this year, and I have been adopted by my family at the age of six, and I became a family physician at the age of eighteen, and then I became the chief physician of the family at the age of thirty-two, and during this time, I have married a wife and had children, and now, my son has become a family physician and has given birth to a big fat grandson.
Decades have passed in a blink of an eye, and I am very happy.
I like the Xia family, whether it was when the Great Elder was still there, controlling the Council of Elders, and fighting against the head of the family, or now when the head of the family completely controls the entire family, I like and love everyone in the family.
Because this is my home.
Don't look at my mother-in-law who is now five big and three thick, her face is full of wrinkles, I think when she was young, she was a beautiful woman in Dongcheng.
If it weren't for my identity as a physician of the Xia family, it would be impossible to marry her at all.
If I hadn't had a family, I might have starved to death in the city decades ago, and these decades of happiness are really dreamlike to think about.
Speaking of which, the word dreamlike was still talked about by the second young master and me.
It's just that when the second young master said this word, his eyes were very complicated, and it could be seen that the second young master should have his own story.
Actually, I originally hated the second young master, because he was too much worse than the head of the family before, if it was someone else's child in the family, then it would be fine, but as the child of the head of the family, I have to fight for some anger no matter what, right?
It's just that the second young master is like mud that can't support the wall, and in the past ten years, he hasn't done a single reliable thing.
Originally, if it went on like this, it would be fine, who hasn't had a few bear children, hasn't it?
But I didn't expect that since half a year ago, the second young master seemed to have suddenly changed as a person, especially after the accident between the eldest elder and the eldest young master, all kinds of rumors that the second young master had been forbearance before were circulated everywhere in the family.
To be honest, I didn't believe it at first, but as I got in touch with the second young master more and more, I had to start believing such a statement.
Because the second young master is so good!
I, Xia Tonghe, swear, in so many decades, I have never seen anyone who can be compared to the second young master!
Of course, I won't say how good it is.
But this kind of excellence is absolutely impossible to have all of a sudden, so I can only choose to believe the gossip that the second young master has been withholding before.
No matter how incredible it is, it's not as convincing as the facts in front of you, isn't it?
The more I came into contact with the Second Young Master, the more I could find out that the Second Young Master was wise and different, if I didn't know the Second Young Master's age, I would even think that I was communicating with a middle-aged man who was thirty or forty years old and well-informed.
This is simply unbelievable, the second young master is obviously a young man who is not yet seventeen years old......
I'm really starting to feel ashamed of my previous misunderstanding of the Second Young Master.
If I don't say that, I'll be even more embarrassed.
But just as I expected, the second young master was humble and humble, and after I finished talking about my misunderstanding of him, not only was he not the slightest unhappy, but comforted me very gently.
I really feel that it is a blessing for the family to have the second young master here.
I believe that other people must have the same thoughts as me now.
Today is the second day that we started to counterattack the Liu family, since ten days ago, after the Liu family's medicine suddenly surpassed our Xia family in terms of efficacy, the business of the family medicine house has been worse day by day.
Although I saw it in my eyes and was anxious in my heart, I had nothing to do about it, because the effect of the medicine in the family pharmacy was already the limit of what I could do now.
Originally, I and the other family doctors were a little desperate, but I didn't expect that the second young master would magically find a batch of medicine that was better than the Liu family!
I don't know how the Second Young Master did it, I only know that the Second Young Master saved the entire family!
How I wish I could make my own contribution to the family like the Second Young Master, instead of being helpless like I was ten days ago.
I don't know if the heavens heard my begging, but the second young master really gave me such an opportunity!
Just after the counteroffensive started yesterday, the second young master found me alone in private, and assigned me what he said, an extremely difficult and extremely important task for the family!
This task is very dangerous, but according to the second young master, if we succeed, we will completely take the initiative in the confrontation with the Liu family, and most importantly, ...... Only I can do it!
So I agreed to the second young master without hesitation and with great excitement, and kept in mind the things that the second young master told me that I needed to do.
I will definitely accomplish this task, no matter how difficult it may be! Even if it takes your life to pay for it!
Because my surname is Xia! Because this is my home!
My name is Xia Tonghe and I am 52 years old......
Although I am just an ordinary physician in the family, I am willing to give everything for the family.
