Chapter 160 Seeing a Doctor, Face Blindness

After finishing their meal, Yun Linhe and Wang Mei packed their things and took Yun Chenbei to the hospital.

Yun Jiao went along too.

She held Yun Chenbei's hand the entire time.

On the way, Wang Mei asked him, "Did you have this problem from the beginning, or did it develop later?"

Yun Chenbei lowered his eyes and thought for a while: "It seems that I fell from a tree by accident when I was nine years old, and after that I gradually couldn't remember people."

Why didn't you say so?!

Wang Mei patted her arm a few times: "You've been waiting so long to tell me, what if it can't be cured!"

Can you tell the difference between your family members and others?

Yun Chenbei nodded slowly: "Yes, although they all look very similar, I can tell them apart."

He squeezed Yun Jiao's hand: "You can tell Jiao Jiao apart too."

Yun Jiao squeezed his hand back, thinking that her brother cared about her, and she was happy (>^ω^<).
"You child, you..."

Yun Chenbei lowered his eyes: "Grandma was seriously ill during that time, and the family had no money, so it's hard to say."

Wang Mei couldn't help but want to cry. There were many children in the family. Chen Bei was always obedient and sensible, except that he didn't like to see people. He had helped take care of his younger brothers since he was a child. But even though he was so sensible, the middle child was the most likely to be overlooked by his family.

In addition, they were busy all day long. Yun Chenbei had always been quiet since childhood. When he was nine years old, he climbed a tree to retrieve paper airplanes that had been blown into the tree by the wind for his younger brother. After that, he never showed any problems, so no one noticed anything unusual about him.

Yun Chenbei felt a pang of heartache and helplessness as he watched his mother silently weep.

Yun Linhe, a grown man, also had tears in his eyes, and wiped them with his back to them.

"I am fine."

Yun Chenbei said, "It's just that I can't recognize people. I don't have that many people I need to recognize."

Actually, he's quite comfortable being alone.

"How could it be nothing? Now that I think about those who said you were rude, I want to go and have a good talk with them!"

"If anyone ever says you're rude again, come back and tell me, I'll go settle the score with them!"

What's wrong with not calling out to someone? Is it some important person that his son absolutely has to call out to them?
Wang Mei, who was protective of her son, forgot that she had also worried about this before and had even mentioned her son.

After arriving at the hospital, Yun Linhe and his wife searched everywhere for doctors to help them find out which doctor to see for their son's condition.

Yun Jiao obediently stayed by Yun Chenbei's side.

"Brother, if you don't go to school anymore, will you stay home with me every day?"

Yun Chenbei glanced at his parents: "It's not certain yet."

He felt a little uncomfortable seeing his parents asking him in such a humble tone.

If they still want me to go to school, then I should go to school.

"I found out that you need to see Dr. Liang, who specializes in neurology. Let's go find him quickly."

The hospital was crowded, and they had to wait in line for a while before they got a turn.

After hearing about Yun Chenbei's situation, Dr. Liang conducted an examination and then spoke to them.

"It was probably caused by a head injury he sustained when he was nine years old. This is an acquired form of prosopagnosia, which is currently incurable with medical technology. We can only gradually train him to recognize people..."

Upon hearing that it couldn't be cured, Wang Mei felt a wave of dizziness and staggered.

Yun Chenbei and Yun Linhe reached out and helped her up at the same time.

After leaving the hospital, although we got some medicine, everyone felt down and heavy-hearted.

Wang Mei burst into tears, saying, "It's all our fault. How could we not have noticed that you fell?"

Yun Chenbei was at a loss. He hugged Wang Mei and gently patted her back to comfort her.

"Mother, I'm alright."

"I just can't recognize people, but I'm in good health. I'm learning carpentry and carving from my master, so I can make a living with my skills in the future. I can earn money to support myself and you all. Actually... I'm already better off than many people."

He really doesn't care about his face blindness.

"It's already good enough that I can recognize you."

It would be terrible if you couldn't even recognize your own family members.

He comforted her, and Wang Mei felt much better. She was still upset.

Even though it was her son who was sick, she still needed him to comfort her.

"Were you being bullied at school?"

She grabbed her son's hand and asked, "Did those people bully you because you didn't greet them when you met them?"

Yun Chenbei's eyes darted around for a moment: "No, nothing."

"You still said no!"

Wang Mei raised her voice a few decibels, sounding just like a mother hen protecting her chicks: "You stutter when you lie, and your eyes dart around."

Yun Chenbei: …………

"Who are they? Take me to them! What kind of people are they? They're supposed to be students, how can they bully their classmates like this!"

Yun Linhe also said with a stern face: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Yun Chenbei touched his nose and said in a low voice, "It's not their fault. It's because I didn't tell them about my situation. They don't know. I often don't recognize people when I greet them, so they think I have a strange personality and am too arrogant."

As for those unpleasant things they said, I won't say them anymore.

There are also small groups that ostracize and isolate him, but he is actually quite happy to be alone.

"Does your brother know about this?"

Yun Chenbei shook his head: "I didn't tell him."

"You...what can I say about you!"

The atmosphere was somewhat somber on the way back.

Just as they were about to reach the village, Yunlinhe suddenly said, "Since you don't want to go to school, then don't go."

Yun Chenbei looked at him with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Father, you agree?"

Yun Linhe sighed: "With your condition, you can't even recognize your classmates. How will you be able to recognize people when you start working? Don't offend your boss and get retaliated against!"

"You have a talent for carpentry. Since you want to learn it, then do it well."

"Every profession can produce an expert. I don't expect you to become an expert in carpentry. I just hope you can have a skill to support your family and not starve to death."

Sending children to school is also a way to ensure they can get a good job and earn a living in the future.

The same principle applies to learning a trade.

Yun Chenbei's lips curled up, and his eyes seemed to light up at that moment.

"Okay, I will study hard!"

He hadn't expected his father to agree so easily.

When they got home, Grandma Yun and Grandpa Yun were waiting for them.

"How is it? Can it be cured?"

Yun Linhe and Wang Mei were both dejected: "Didn't he fall from a tree when he was nine years old? The doctor said he hit his head, some kind of acquired face blindness, which can't be cured."

Grandma Yun also felt a sudden darkness before her eyes.

"Auntie!"

"Grandma!"

The whole family gathered around.

"What... what should we do?"

Grandma Yun held Yun Chenbei's hand and cried.

Yun Chenbei felt guilty and helpless.

Yun Linhe forced a smile: "Mother, don't worry. At least Chen Bei is alright. He can definitely support himself by learning carpentry from Old Man Mu."

Grandma Yun wiped away her tears: "But... what will Chen Bei do when he finds a wife? What if he doesn't even recognize his own wife after he marries her?"

Everyone:…………

Yun Chenbei was completely red-hot, how... how did we get to this topic!
