Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 322 Diagnosis and Treatment: Severe Brain Injury

The old lady was stunned by the scene before her: "Jinghong, what did you call me? Old lady?"

"Mother, I don't know what happened to Jinghong. When I met him outside the mansion, he was dressed like a beggar, and even I recognized him."

Shen Jinghong played with the gems he had taken off.

"What? You mean..." Her good grandson is stupid? Impossible! Her grandson is smart and sensible, the pride of their Shen family, how could he be a fool.

"Go, ask a doctor to come and check on the young master."

The old lady ordered in a cold voice.

After Shen Wenting returned home, he heard about this and hurried over with Shen Youran.

"Big brother." Shen Youran didn't know what was going on. Seeing Shen Jinghong standing there with a serious face, she bowed and saluted to Shen Jinghong. She had been a little afraid of this brother since she was a child, and she had always behaved properly in front of him.

"Well, which girl are you from?"

"Brother, I'm Youran, why don't you recognize me?" Shen Youran was stunned.

"You Ran? Well, it's fake, it's fake..." Shen Jinghong continued with a stern face and began to talk nonsense, saying something that no one could understand.

"..." Shen Youran's face darkened and he looked at everyone in confusion.

"Mom, what's going on?" Shen Wenting was also a little confused. Shen Jinghong's eyes seemed a little dull, and a little silly? He didn't even greet him when he saw him.

Seeing that the old lady and others were silent, Shen Wenting had no choice but to step forward and ask, "Jinghong, you're back. Where have you been during this time?"

"Go away! Bad guy! You are a bad guy!" When Shen Jinghong saw Shen Wenting coming, he grabbed the cup of tea he had just been drinking from and splashed the water on his scumbag father's face.

This unexpected scene left everyone at a loss.

"Shen Jinghong! You rebellious son! You actually threw tea at your father!" Shen Wenting was not close to this son on weekdays. His son always had a cold and distant attitude towards him, but after all, he was his own son. Although the two of them didn't talk much, they still had the proper etiquette between father and son. Today was the first time that Shen Wenting yelled at him in anger.

This time, Chen Shuhua didn't need to speak. The old lady spoke first: "Wenting, don't be angry yet. Jinghong...sigh...wait for the doctor to come and take a look before you say anything!"

"Mom, what do you mean? This kid went out, doesn't he even recognize his own father?"

Shen Wenting was still angry and was about to get to the bottom of the matter when the doctor came over.

"Quick, show the young master, why doesn't he recognize us?"

When the doctor heard this, he hurriedly began to examine Shen Jinghong. Time passed minute by minute. After taking his pulse, the doctor checked his head and other parts. It was a long time before he withdrew his hand.

"Reporting to the Lord, the wounds on Master Shen's body are not serious. He can't recognize people because of the brain damage caused by the severe injury. His mental state is no different from that of a seven-year-old child..."

"What..." The old lady slumped on the stool. The doctor meant that Jinghong had become a fool.

"Doctor, is there any way to treat it?" Chen Shuhua asked panicked.

"It's hard to say. The young master's head was severely injured, and he may have been stimulated before. In addition to amnesia, his nerves were also damaged. The hope of recovery is slim. Whether he can recover depends on his luck. My medical skills are shallow and I can't do anything. You should seek help from someone else!"

The doctor shook his head, packed up his things and left.

For a moment, the room was silent.

"Alas... Wen Ting, go to the palace and find a doctor to see you! It would be great if we could invite Dr. Han. Didn't he come to our house last time..." The old lady sighed, and looked at Shen Jinghong with a sad and regretful expression on her face. The old lady had been eating plain food every day and looked a lot thinner recently because she no longer had the subsidy from Chen Shuhua's dowry.

"Mom, I understand." Shen Wenting felt upset after hearing what the doctor said. The son he was so proud of had now become a fool. In the future, the Shangshu Mansion... couldn't be handed over to a fool, right?

"Take good care of the eldest young master." The old lady instructed the servants and said nothing else, allowing the nanny to help her go back.

After everyone left, Chen Shuhua looked at her son who was giggling foolishly. Her heart seemed to be shrouded in a haze. Sad emotions surged like a tide, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"Mom, don't be sad yet, I'll show it to my brother."

"Okay, then show it to your brother."

She almost forgot that Nianran also knew medical skills. Chen Shuhua quickly calmed down and looked at her and her son with anticipation.

After she examined Shen Jinghong, the diagnosis was similar to what the doctor said, that his brain had been severely injured. Intracranial hemorrhage, maybe luckily, it didn't endanger his life, but because of the lack of timely treatment, there was blood congestion in the brain, causing amnesia and intellectual disability. The specific diagnosis can only be confirmed after a brain CT scan: "His condition is a bit complicated, but don't worry, there will be a way."

Hearing that there would be a way, Chen Shuhua's depressed mood improved a little. She sat next to Shen Jinghong, held his hand and asked softly: "Jinghong, do you know who I am?"

"You are a beautiful girl." Shen Jinghong said seriously. If he didn't show that silly smile, no one would notice that there was something wrong with him.

"Nianran, your brother still knows me."

"People who have suffered severe brain damage can have many different conditions, which vary from person to person, but they generally remember clearly the people and events that left a deep impression on them." Memories engraved in the bones will not be forgotten even if the brain has suffered severe damage.

Now that things have come to this, we can only take a long-term view and find an opportunity to move the person to a more spacious place for a comprehensive examination before deciding on a treatment plan.

No one knew who leaked the news, but soon, the news that the eldest son of the Shen family had returned as a fool spread throughout the capital like the wind.

"Have you heard that the eldest young master of the Shen family is back, but he is stupid!"

"Is this true or false? Is the news reliable?"

"Of course. My distant relative works in the Shangshu Mansion. He heard it with his own ears. The doctor said that it was a serious brain injury."

"Oh! That's a pity. Master Shen is such a good person."

The people in the capital were all discussing and lamenting that such a good person had become a fool.

No one knew what was going on, but Shen Jinghong liked to follow Yao Qingnian, calling her "sister" all the time. Chen Shuhua and the others thought she was Shen Youran. After Shen Wenting came to see Shen Jinghong the day he came back, he never stepped into his yard again. Even the old lady who loved him the most didn't come. Chen Shuhua was even more disappointed with her husband.
