Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Uncle, I Love Exploiting the Weak and Fearing the Strong
After washing up, Tang Yu took Jiang Xiaoyue out for breakfast.
When they arrived at the dining hall, a young man with long hair tied in a ponytail was having breakfast. Upon seeing Tang Yu, he immediately stood up to greet him.
"Brother, Miss Jiang, it's been a long time since we last met!"
Seeing the long-haired young man, Tang Yu was slightly surprised at first but then smiled. "It's been a while since I last saw you."
"Come on, sit down to eat. The breakfast is getting cold. After we finish eating, we'll go see Grandpa together."
The long-haired young man, who was not his brother but rather the son of his second uncle, his cousin Tang Ruoyu, was very courteous as he prepared the dishes for them.
Tang Yu sat down and began to eat silently while keeping an eye on the smiling young man with the ponytail.
He was quite impressed by this boy, Tang Ruoyu.
In the original plot, shortly after Tang Yu's death, Grandpa Tang died from an illness caused by grief. To avenge Tang Yu, his parents used all their resources to seek revenge.
But no matter how powerful the Tang family was, they couldn't defeat the son of destiny.
After all, behind Ye Chen was the powerful organization Dragon Soul, which was much stronger than the Tang family.
Deceiving someone to achieve one's goals was something only those with backing could do.
Thus, Tang Ruoyu, who had been struggling to suppress his ambition, seized the opportunity to ally with Ye Chen and, acting as a pawn for the Dragon Soul organization, betrayed the Tang family behind their backs.
The downfall of the Tang family had much to do with this guy's actions.
[I have to find a chance to bury this guy.]
Tang Yu said to himself.
Damn it, the Tang family's billions in assets were the prize that I, as the eldest son, was supposed to take in the end!
The son of destiny cannot confront him directly.
"But isn't it so easy to deal with a traitor like you?"
I love taking advantage of the weak and fearing the strong.
"While finishing the remainder of her meal, Jiang Xiaoyue looked at Tang Yu with a mix of confusion and curiosity."
What does he mean by "bury"?
After finishing breakfast, the three of them went to the small backyard to find Grandpa.
When they arrived, Grandpa was sitting in a Taishi chair, playing with his phone.
From time to time, sounds of fighting and shouts from the characters in the game could be heard.
Grandpa had a fierce expression as he shouted.
"Come on, are you an idiot or don't you know how to start a fight in the game!" PDD: A LOLSITO
"Are you in elementary school? Aren't you supposed to go to school during the day instead of playing ranked matches?"
"A bunch of useless people, even if I'm eighty years old, I would never play like this!"
The three were shocked to see the old man behaving this way.
Is this old man really fashionable?
After finishing the game, Grandpa Tang dropped his phone on the table, breathing heavily and rubbing his chest in anger.
"Grandpa, you should stop playing video games in the future. It's not good for your health,"
Tang Yu hurriedly advised him.
"Yes, Grandpa Tang, you need to take care of your health."
"Grandpa, you need to rest more."
Jiang Xiaoyue also hurriedly said a few words of advice.
"I know, I know. I'll uninstall it and stop playing."
Grandpa Tang leaned over and, looking at his phone in anger, uninstalled that damn game.
"First, have some tea to relax. I'll check your pulse."
Jiang Xiaoyue poured a cup of tea for Grandpa Tang and sat next to him, starting to take his pulse.
Tang Yu, for his part, watched the old man in silence.
With the reward for the "celestial medical writing" he had received, he now only needed to concentrate on the person to identify their health problems.
[Grandpa has been suffering from gastritis for a long time and now feels a strong chill in his stomach.]
[According to celestial medicine, this is due to a deficiency of yin in the stomach, caused by a lack of bodily fluids.]
[The best option is a treatment based on warming food, using the "black ganoderma" of a hundred years as the main medicine, along with six other herbs like Huangjing and Shashen to make an herbal infusion. Using this for a month should be sufficient.]
[But is celestial medicine really reliable?]
Jiang Xiaoyue, who was taking Grandpa's pulse, opened her eyes in surprise upon hearing Tang Yu's thoughts.
Does Brother Tang Yu really know about medicine?
And can he identify health issues without even taking his pulse, just by looking at him?
In traditional Chinese medicine, the highest level of medicine is observation, known as the divine state.
This can only be achieved by reaching that state.
And Grandpa had told him that in traditional Chinese medicine, no one had reached the divine state for hundreds of years.
As for the "celestial medical writing,"
This is the sacred book that traditional doctors long for!
As a fan of traditional medicine, Jiang Xiaoyue couldn't help but swallow hard.
She was very eager to talk more with Tang Yu about medicine.
"Xiaoyue, are you done?"
Seeing that Jiang Xiaoyue had not moved for a while, Grandpa Tang asked with a smile.
"Yes, I'm done."
Jiang Xiaoyue snapped back to reality and quickly said, "The cause is the deficiency of yin in the stomach. Grandpa Tang, have you been feeling dryness in your mouth and stomach discomfort lately?"
"Yes, it's the same old issue."
Jiang Xiaoyue smiled sweetly.
"For this kind of chronic illness, the main treatment is warm nutrition. I'll prepare an herbal infusion for you. However, this infusion requires black ganoderma of over a hundred years as the main medicine. Our family doesn't have it, so I'll need you to bring it from somewhere else. It should be able to arrive the day after tomorrow, and Brother Tang Yu can come to my house to pick it up."
After hearing Tang Yu's prescription, she analyzed it and concluded that it was a very effective treatment with few side effects for the body.
The highest level of medicine is to cure the disease without harming the patient.
As expected of the "celestial medical writing"!
Tang Yu was somewhat surprised.
Is the herbal tea this girl wants to prepare really the same as what I was thinking?
It seems that "celestial medicine" isn't a trap after all.
"Very well, just in time for this boy to accompany me to visit your grandpa."
Grandpa Tang nodded with a smile.
"Okay, my grandpa was talking about Brother Tang Yu a few days ago."
Jiang Xiaoyue smiled and narrowed her eyes in joy. At that moment, she would seize the opportunity to ask Tang Yu about medicine.
After chatting a bit more with Grandpa, she bid farewell and headed to the clinic to attend to her matters.
Grandpa Tang looked at Tang Yu and his cousin and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
"Grandpa, I would like to work at Meile Foods."
Tang Ruoyu spoke up.
Meile Foods is one of the key businesses of the Tang Group and has developed well in recent years.
Grandpa Tang did not rush to respond.
Tang Ruoyu, being the son of the second brother, had been working at one of the Tang Group's branches for years, with no access to the main businesses.
As a member of the Tang family, his marginalization was due to his father.
Seven years ago, his father had illegally appropriated assets from the Tang Group, transferring them to his name.
When this serious infraction was discovered, according to family rules, he should have been severely punished and expelled from the family.
If it hadn't been for Tang Yu's family efforts to help them, the Tang family would have had nothing to do with them ever again.
After pondering for a moment, Grandpa Tang pointed to Tang Yu.
"Ask your elder brother; he is now in charge of the Tang Group."
"Elder brother, what do you think? If you think I lack skill, I can start in a mid-level position and learn gradually."
Tang Ruoyu looked at Tang Yu with a friendly smile.
—No problem. I trust your abilities. From now on, our family will need you and me to work together.
Tang Yu smiled and put his arm around his cousin's shoulder.
Damn it, are you already starting to betray the family?
You'll see what happens when you make me angry!
Knowing how the plot would unfold, Tang Yu was very aware of the true nature of his seemingly harmless cousin.
