Chapter 29
Was the Damn System Scolding Her on Purpose?
“Doctor Xiao! Your words are too much. Why are you still cursing my husband to die?” The patient’s wife saw that her husband was fine, and she immediately returned to her usual fierce appearance as a village woman. She rolled up her sleeves and pointed at Doctor Xiao’s nose, “You said that my husband’s lung disease has healed, and you still want to go back on your word? Hurry up and follow the bet and eat that table with sauce. Otherwise, I’ll not forgive you!”
Doctor Xiao stomped his feet in anger and finally looked at the shopkeeper. “Shopkeeper, are you going to watch this group of outsiders insulting me?!”
“Yes, it’s too much to let Doctor Xiao eat the table,” the shopkeeper continued, “Men, go to the restaurant next door and pick more sauce so that Doctor Xiao won’t eat blandly.”
“Hahahaha!” The onlookers at the door burst into laughter when they heard this.
“You! You guys have gone too far! Alright, I can hide if I can’t afford to offend you. I’ll leave now!” Doctor Xiao’s face turned from red to purple in anger. He flung his sleeves and left angrily.
When the crowd saw Doctor Xiao really leave, they could not help but start discussing. A man wearing a burlap coat lowered his voice and said, “Although Doctor Xiao is arrogant, his medical skills are quite good. What should we do if we offend him this time and he won’t treat us when he’s angry in the future?”
“Yeah, why don’t we chase after him and coax him?” Another old woman followed.
“Why coax him? If you need a doctor, you can look for our mother. Our mother is much more powerful than him!” Dumby was afraid that others wouldn’t know how powerful his mother was, so he immediately said loudly.
Gu Lin covered Dumbo’s mouth and shook his head lightly, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Lin looked at Gu Qingxue with a profound gaze.
Gu Qingxue immediately felt great pressure.
This eldest son of hers was really too perceptive.
The change in her temperament could lie and say that she had recovered from her mental illness, but her medical skills could not also be related to mental illness, right?
Just as Gu Qingxue was thinking of how to ‘deceive’ Gu Lin, the young butler’s serious voice sounded in her mind.
“Congratulations to the host for saving an ordinary patient and obtaining 50 admiration points. The admiration points have been converted into 50 points. The host’s current points are negative 250 points.”
Negative 250 points?
Was the damn system scolding her on purpose?
Gu Qingxue was depressed, but she could not put it into words. She could only endure it for the time being.
The shopkeeper was silent for a long time. He thought for a while and then looked at Gu Qingxue. “Young lady, may I ask how you managed to cure this person’s lung disease in such a short time?”
“It wasn’t a lung disease in the first place. It was the impact on his chest that caused the bruised blood to press on his heart, causing his body to be weak. I let out his blood, and he will recover naturally,” Gu Qingxue said indifferently.
“I remember now! My husband was hit on the head by the ox three days ago when he was driving the ox. He fainted at that time and woke up before he could be sent to the hospital. We saw that he did not have any external injuries when he woke up, so we did not pay too much attention to it. It must have been that blood…” The patient’s wife suddenly realized, she kneeled down and kowtowed to Gu Qingxue. “Thank you for saving my husband’s life, young lady!”
“You’re welcome. I’m here to collect the medical fee.” Seeing that the village woman was dressed simply, Gu Qingxue only received ten copper coins.
The village woman was naturally not stingy. She took out ten copper coins and handed them to Gu Qingxue.
The shopkeeper saw this scene and took a step forward with a smile. “How should I address you, young lady? My name is Huang Rongfa, and I’m the owner of this pharmacy. I have some matters to discuss with you, young lady. Would you mind moving to the back hall?”
