Chapter 93: Uncle Zha screws over nephew, pulls another slick move and breaks a leg again Chapter 93: Uncle Zha screws over nephew, pulls another slick move and breaks a leg again After Elder Tang confirmed his surgery, Zhou Zhongqing and several experts began to develop a surgical plan for him. The old gentleman was getting on in years after all, and although he had suffered a fall previously, with no serious external injuries, it still was a strain to his muscles and bones.

Considering he needed to undergo high-intensity surgery, the operation was not carried out immediately but was scheduled before the end of the year, giving him a month to recuperate.

“Dr. Zhou, are you saying I can be discharged?” Elder Tang was overjoyed upon receiving the news.

“Your body is not in bad shape at the moment. Just make sure you take good care of yourself before the surgery. Moreover, I need to return to Beijing to help you prepare for the operation. There’s only one of those machines in the entire country, and many people are waiting in line for surgery with it. I have to consult with the hospital to decide on the exact timing of the surgery.”

“Thank you, I’m sorry to trouble you again,” Tang Wan didn’t know what else to say besides expressing her gratitude.

Zhou Zhongqing merely gave a polite smile, “I’m a doctor, this is my duty. Take this.”

As he spoke, he pulled a few sheets of paper from his pocket and handed them to Tang Wan. She took them, glancing over them briefly.

Aside from a plethora of medications prescribed, even Elder Tang’s daily meals were specified.

“Strictly follow this. If he doesn’t cooperate, call me at any time.”

“Mm.”

Elder Tang frowned, “Wanwan, let me see what he’s written.”

When he saw those pages, the corners of his mouth twitched viciously. They wanted to stuff him full of pills every day, and he had to give up alcohol, smoking, and rich sauces, and take 2,000 steps every day…

“Dr. Zhou, this is…” The old man’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably. Were they treating him like a lab rat?

Fattened up with medicine, just to be sent to the operating table!

Zhou Zhongqing’s expression remained indifferent, but his words were quite cutting and incisive, “Elder Tang, you are a respected figure in Pingjiang, admired by many. Persisting for just one month should be nothing difficult for you.”

“If you keep yourself healthy, your children will worry less. Ever since you were hospitalized, Miss Tang has been tirelessly looking after you. If you don’t care about your own health, at least consider your granddaughter’s.”

“If you really find it too challenging, I won’t insist, as after all, it’s your own body. As a doctor, it’s my duty to conscientiously provide treatment and to be true to my conscience.”

Elder Tang clutched the paper tightly and looked at Zhou Zhongqing, who appeared kind and benevolent, yet his gaze was incredibly sharp.

To use reverse psychology, painting him into such a corner—if he couldn’t follow through with these, he’d just be a man of hollow reputation, and even a strange old man who didn’t care for his children.
