Chapter 82: Damp-heat in the lower abdomen

"Who called the police?"

The two questions came one after another, and only then did someone realize that the police had arrived.

The crowded crowd immediately made way for the police standing on the outside to enter the center of the crowd and better understand the truth of the matter.

When the Chen family saw the police coming, they were extremely panicked.

Chen Qiao's legs went limp, and he clutched his mother's clothes tightly, begging in a panic, "Mom, why don't we go?"

"Who said we were leaving? The police coming here is great. It's time to give our family justice."

At this time, Chen's mother still didn't feel that she had done anything wrong.

In her opinion, the rumors caused by Chen Yin's diagnosis were a complete slander against her son, seriously affecting his reputation. It was simply the greatest injustice in the world.

Thinking of this, Chen's mother said directly to the police:

"You've come at the perfect time. I want to report Dr. Chen from the county hospital for her poor medical skills and nonsense. She's having a negative impact on my son. Go arrest her."

Hu Hao and Yang Qian, who received the call, were speechless and thought: Didn't this guy find out the situation clearly in advance before causing trouble?

Many people in the county had heard about the close relationship between Doctor Chen and County Magistrate Fu. Now Doctor Chen was also well-known in the city. Who would want to offend Doctor Chen?

Just when the two were about to speak out to appease them helplessly, Lin Yao, Liu Lili and others became unhappy.

"Comrade police officer, please don't listen to her nonsense. Doctor Chen's medical skills are obvious to all. This person needs to be treated promptly if he is ill."

"Dr. Chen's healing skills are amazing. I recovered in just two days. I'm willing to testify for Dr. Chen."

"That's right, comrade police officer, we are all patients who come to see Dr. Chen. You can't just take Dr. Chen away without permission."

…

Chen's mother's words stirred up a hornet's nest, and the waiting patients all spoke up for her.

They were just watching the fun just now, but now their own interests are involved. Who can continue to sit back and watch?

As for Chen Yin herself, she has long been completely ignored by everyone.

Hu Hao and Yang Qian looked at the crowd that had started arguing again, and could no longer maintain their gentle expressions. They roared:

"Everyone be quiet! Who called the police?"

"It's me. It's me."

A figure squeezed out from the door of the clinic next to Chen Yin, raised his hand with a smile.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on each other.

Lu Hang continued smiling as he explained, "We're also seeing patients in our clinic. The noise and fighting outside are seriously affecting our director's judgment. We called the police and hope they can take the troublemakers away."

Who on the scene could have imagined that it was an “outsider” who called the police?

Everyone instantly shifted their gaze from Lu Hang to the Chen family. The troublemakers were visible to all.

Hu Hao and Yang Qian had no intention of staying any longer, so they pointed directly at the Chen family.

"Come, go to the police station with us to make a statement."

"Why us? Where's Doctor Chen? She's the real culprit."

"Could it be that there's some conspiracy between you two? You're actually protecting that quack doctor!"

Chen's mother's words were extremely vicious. Even if this matter was not true, as long as it was spoken out, it would definitely affect Chen Yin's reputation.

Chen Yin looked at the Chen family carefully and found that she had no impression of them.

She turned around and looked at Liu Mengxi with some confusion, and asked, "Mengxi, do you have any impression of this family?"

"No." The three people behind him answered in unison.

Chen Yin had only been at the county hospital for a few days and had only treated a little over a hundred patients. If she had, how could she not have any impression of these four people?

Facing the helpless looks from the two policemen, Chen Yin opened her mouth and asked questions that stunned everyone present who didn't know the previous situation.

"I don't think I've ever seen your son. If he had, our hospital would have a record. You're causing trouble now, seriously disrupting the normal operation of several of our clinics, and you're insulting me."

"According to the law, your provocative behavior can be punished by imprisonment of up to five years, criminal detention, or public surveillance."

The tone was not loud, but the content of the words was enough to scare a guilty person to death.

At this time, many people realized that Chen Yin had not examined Chen Qiao, so where did Chen's mother's words come from?

When Chen's mother heard Chen Yin's threatening words, she immediately became furious and wanted to hit Chen Yin.

Father Chen, who was worried that his wife would affect his son's work, pretended to be the victim and said pitifully:

"Yes. Doctor Chen, you haven't examined my son."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd around them gasped.

"hiss--"

"You haven't even seen a doctor yet, and you're already causing trouble for Dr. Chen. Isn't this provoking trouble?"

"Doctor Chen is so unlucky to have met such a person."

…

Father Chen changed the subject and pointed at Ma Changying and Zhu Yuanyuan, mother and daughter, and said:

"But when you examined my daughter-in-law, you said there was nothing wrong with her health, but she hasn't conceived in three years. Doesn't this become my son's problem? Tell me, is it you who said my son can't have children?"

"Now, my daughter-in-law wants to divorce me for this reason. You've torn my family apart. If we don't make trouble for you, who should we make trouble for?"

Hearing this, the onlookers nodded in agreement.

Indeed, childbirth is either a woman's problem or a man's problem. Now that women's responsibility has been removed, isn't it the man's problem?

It's just that people have always had the idea that it is better to destroy ten temples than to break up a marriage.

Many people sighed at the thought of destroying a family because of this.

But some people immediately found the sophistry in it and refuted it.

"Didn't men in the past divorce their wives for not being able to have children? Now that men can't have children, what's wrong with women wanting to divorce them?"

"I heard that Xiao Zhu went through so much hardship over the years just to have a child. Now that she's found out the truth, isn't it normal for her to want a divorce to vent her anger?"

"Just because you can't have children doesn't mean it can't be cured. Isn't there Doctor Chen here?"

"After offending Doctor Chen like this, how can Doctor Chen still sincerely treat them?"

…

Some of them even suggested that the Chen family ask Chen Qiao to see a doctor to restore his fertility so that the young couple could stay together forever.

The faces of Chen's father and son turned blue and red after hearing what everyone said, and they gradually became tense.

But remembering what the master he had seen said, he forced himself to keep his composure and refuse to admit defeat.

"Doctor Chen, tell me if this is your problem!"

Under the gazes of the crowd, Father Chen's tone suddenly rose, forming a sharp contrast with the pitiful expression on his face.

"You have to be honest. I haven't seen your son. It's your family who came to my house today looking for trouble. Especially the two of you, hiding behind a woman and watching her charge into battle. It's despicable."

Chen Yin's words made many people present recall the scene when Chen's mother was scolding angrily. It must be said that Chen Yin was right.

For a moment, not only did everyone look at Chen Qiao with contempt, but Chen's father also received the same treatment.

"I don't think there's a single man in the Chen family."

"What kind of man is he if he hides behind a woman?"

"One who is physically disabled and one who is mentally disabled are not men."

Hearing everyone's comments, Chen's father gritted his teeth. His only goal now was to make Chen Yin admit that his son was able to have children. Otherwise, what would happen to their Chen family, which had been a single-line family for eight generations?

"These days, all sorts of people are causing trouble. How can the hospital continue to operate?"

Liu Mengxi really couldn't tolerate the messy environment in front of him and complained directly.

Then he looked at the police officer standing nearby and said, "Officer, you two should have heard what they said. They are simply here to cause trouble for our Doctor Chen. Just arrest them and take them away. We still have many patients waiting for help."

Hu Hao and Yang Qian also felt that the facts were clear, so they immediately stepped forward and grabbed Chen's father and Chen Qiao respectively.

"Let's go. If you dare to cause trouble in the hospital, let's go to the police station."

When Chen's mother saw her husband and son being taken away, she immediately rushed to the police and asked:

"What are you doing? What are you doing? My family is clearly the victim, why are you arresting us?"

Father Chen was pulled out of his complicated thoughts by his wife's shouting. He clung to the railing in the corridor, turned his head, and yelled at Chen Yin:

"My son is so tall, he must be able to have children! You, the doctor, made a mistake, made a mistake—"

"If you don't tell me the truth today, I will hold you tightly and not leave!"

His unreasonable and unreasonable attitude stunned not only Chen Yin and the crowd, but even Zhu Yuanyuan, who had lived under the same roof with Chen's father for three years.

She used to think that the only reasonable person in the Chen family was Chen's father, but now it seems that he was just good at pretending.

She had hesitated before because of Chen's father's begging, and he really deceived her.

Zhu Yuanyuan immediately decided to listen to her mother and divorce Chen Qiao, otherwise her life would be ruined.

Facing the threat from Chen's father, Chen Yin turned her attention to Chen Qiao and asked:

"Do you want me to make a rough assessment of your physical condition in public?"

After all, once she said it, there was no turning back.

Chen Qiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded with his neck stiffened under his parents' encouraging yet oppressive gaze.

There was no interview session, and tongue and pulse diagnosis were impossible. Chen Yin could only make a rough diagnosis based on what she saw.

"Although you look tall, you're actually fat and have no muscles. In other words, you're just strong on the outside but weak on the inside."

"Also, your complexion is dark yellow and black, and your voice is deep. It's not intentional, but you can't change it on your own. If you look closely, you can see a layer of light yellow mucus hanging from the corners of your mouth. Plus, you frown unconsciously when you speak, which proves that you have a bitter and greasy taste in your mouth."

"Of course, what's more telling about your current physical condition is the subconscious movements you make when you walk. It seems like you're deliberately avoiding touching or pulling between your legs."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Chen Qiao's legs.

"You walk neither fast nor slow, and you even seem to be dragging your legs deliberately. I'm sure your lower abdomen has undergone changes that you find difficult to talk about."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qiao was so frightened that his face turned pale.

Before, he could think of it as something that Chen Yin could see at a glance, and it didn't prove anything.

But now, the other party can even see the abnormalities inside my body that are hidden by my clothes. Doesn’t this prove that there is really something wrong with me?

Chen Qiao's heart was beating uncontrollably in his chest. He subconsciously wanted to ask Chen Yin for help, but he opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.

His every move was under everyone's observation. When his expression changed, everyone understood what was going on.

Immediately, people in the crowd began to whisper.

"I knew Dr. Chen's diagnosis wouldn't be wrong. Now it's clear, isn't it?"

"I don't know what the Chen family was just saying. They came here to cause trouble without even asking about Doctor Chen's medical skills. Now they have hit a wall."

"Maybe there was still a chance to have a child before, but now it's too late to back down."

…

The crowd was still eager to watch the fun, ready to see what the Chen family had to say.

Chen Qiao didn't say anything, and Chen Yin continued to explain her diagnosis.

"Because we only conducted a simple two-diagnosis inspection, observation, and auscultation, the results do not meet the four-diagnosis criteria. If you want to better understand your physical condition, I urge you to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Based on my judgment, I believe you have damp heat in the lower abdomen, and your vital energy is not being transformed."

Father Chen took one look at his son's appearance and knew that what Chen Yin said was correct.

But now that things have come to this, how could he possibly admit that he was wrong and came here on purpose to cause trouble?

He immediately seized upon Chen Yin's words and retorted:

"You admit it, right? You admit it, right? You think there's something wrong with my son without any diagnosis, you little girl who talks nonsense. Our whole family won't believe a single word you say, just wait and see!" After making these harsh remarks, the family was dragged away by the police like dead dogs.

After the troublemaker left, Chen Yin turned and walked into the clinic, and said to Cheng Xu embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry for disturbing your consultation."

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm not in a hurry."

At this moment, Cheng Xu had great faith in Chen Yin's medical skills.

Just based on what he had just observed through the gap, it was enough to prove how good Chen Yin's medical skills were. It seemed that his illness could finally be cured this time.

Chen Yin nodded gratefully, walked quickly to her seat, and continued the unfinished work.

As she picked up the pen, she said to Cheng Xu:

"After my diagnosis, I believe you have insufficient Wei Yang and a weak exterior. You need to harmonize the Ying and Wei, warm the Yang and replenish the Qi, and consolidate the exterior and restrain sweating. I will prescribe you a dose of Guizhi Jia Fuzi Tang, which will have a very good effect on alleviating your current symptoms."

"Doctor Chen, you are really modest. After I finish taking the prescribed medicine, do I need to come for a follow-up visit?"

Cheng Xu excitedly took the prescription from Chen Yin's hand, carefully pinching the edge of the paper, fearing that the sweat on his palm would wet the words on it, making them unclear and affecting the pharmacy staff's ability to dispense the medicine.

"In theory, it's not necessary, but if you feel uneasy or your symptoms haven't been resolved, you can come for a follow-up check."

"Okay, okay! Thank you, Doctor Chen."

With Chen Yin's words, Cheng Xu felt more at ease. He took the freshly prepared prescription and ran towards the door excitedly.

As soon as he walked out of the room, Liu Lili and Lin Yao, who had been waiting outside for a long time, squeezed into the clinic before Liu Xianhua could speak.

"Doctor Chen!" they both shouted in unison.

At the same time, the two of them held up the banners in their hands, fearing that Chen Yin didn't know the purpose of their visit.

Chen Yin looked up at the two of them, quickly raised her hand and checked the time.

Liu Lili knew the reason behind Chen Yin's actions and quickly explained:

"Originally, we wanted to present you with a banner before you started your clinic, without interrupting your work. But we didn't expect that you were so focused on treating patients and saving lives that you started your clinic early, so we arrived too late."

Lin Yao didn't care about that. He took a big step forward and wanted to put the banner directly into Chen Yin's hand.

"Doctor Chen, I just took the medicine you prescribed, and I feel much better right away. My hometown likes to give doctors banners to express our gratitude, so please accept this."

"And this is a small gift from me, please accept it."

As he spoke, Lin Yao wanted to stuff the red envelope hidden in his armpit bag into Chen Yin's hand.

Chen Yin immediately picked up the banner with both hands and looked at Lin Yao with a serious expression.

"We can accept the banner, but you absolutely cannot accept the red envelope. You must take it back, or you can't come to me for medical treatment in the future."

"Ah?" Lin Yao looked at Chen Yin stupidly, his mind unable to wrap around for a moment.

In his impression, there is no one who doesn't charge money.

Whether you are seeing a doctor and want to get better treatment, or at work and want to take on better projects, some small tricks are very necessary.

Liu Lili looked at the scene in front of her and expressed her sincere gratitude to Director Liao for his reminder.

If she hadn't heard the good news in advance, she would probably be the one in front of Dr. Chen now.

She pushed aside the unresponsive Lin Yao and rushed to appear in front of Chen Yin.

"Doctor Chen, after taking the medicine you prescribed, my daughter immediately regained her appetite and even said she was hungry."

"This silk banner was specially made by someone after my husband and I discussed it. Please accept it."

"It's good that my appetite has returned."

Chen Yin expressed her gratitude with a smile, and Liu Mengxi beside her helped to take the banner.

Liu Lili didn't want to disturb Chen Yin's consultation time any longer, so she left immediately.

As for Lin Yao, who had angered Chen Yin, Liu Xianhua naturally helped push him away and reminded the next patient to enter the clinic for treatment.

The door was not closed just now, and the people outside could see clearly what was happening inside.

No one expected that someone would actually give a red envelope to a doctor in person. Many people had heard rumors before, but they never thought that they would see it with their own eyes one day.

I didn't see the scene of honor represented by the banner, but I almost saw the doctor receiving a red envelope.

"I've heard that some doctors only treat patients with all their heart after receiving red envelopes."

"Could it be that Doctor Chen is also such a person? I don't have that much money prepared when I come here today. How about I go home and come back this afternoon?"

"This is a gift from Dr. Chen as a thank you after seeing him, but Dr. Chen may not accept it."

…

Amidst the anxious gazes of the crowd, Chen Yin did not accept it, and many people breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, the Chen family members who were taken to the police station remained stubborn and did not stop slandering Chen Yin.

The police station saw the family's self-deceiving behavior as no different from that of a clown.

No matter how they were questioned, the two still refused to admit their mistakes and were detained for three days.

In sharp contrast to this are the siblings Du Minghui and Du Mingyao who were exercising with Chen Yin and the others this morning.

The two originally thought that the effect of the spirit-lifting effect would be short-lived, but when they arrived at school, they were surprised to find that their mental state today was different from before.

Not only did my listening efficiency improve, but I didn't feel sleepy at all during the entire class, and a lot of knowledge was fully stored in my brain.

The brother and sister's energetic state formed a sharp contrast with the other students in the class who fell asleep during breaks. The difference was noticeable at a glance, which surprised the head teacher who came to inspect.

In the hospital, Chen Yin continued to see patients.

For the next three days, Chen Yin followed a regular routine: getting up in the morning to exercise, going to work, going home to organize medical records, and sleeping, repeating this cycle over and over again.

Finally, the weekend break that the clinic didn’t have the chance to enjoy before has arrived.

As a temporary staff member, Chen Yin had no other duty requirements and immediately prepared to take Liu Mengxi and Qi Wenzhong back to town.

"Okay, okay! I also want to see what the clinic is like now." Liu Mengxi clapped his hands excitedly.

Of course Qi Wenzhong also wanted to go back. To him, the county hospital and the clinic were completely different.

And he had other more important things to do and wanted to go back.

"On the first day I came to the county hospital, the seedling supplier had already delivered the goods. I don't know how the herbal medicine cultivation in Qingshan Village is going now. Let's go and take a look together."

"Okay. There are a lot of things in the county that aren't available in town. Let's buy some and take them back."

Speaking of which, Chen Yin hasn't seen her family for a while and misses them very much.

Not to mention the other two people who were not short of money. As soon as Chen Yin expressed her idea, the two of them excitedly walked in front, chattering about what gifts they would bring back and who they would give them to.

The three of them took advantage of their Friday night break to buy everything, and set off the next morning before dawn.

The car stopped moving when it was twenty meters away from the clinic.

Chen Yin stretched her head out in surprise to check and found that the original clinic and several surrounding shops had already been completely demolished by machines.

At present, there are a lot of large machines and various construction materials piled up on the side of the road. Because there are too many things, they occupy part of the space on the highway.

The town's road would be very crowded if two cars were driving together, so you need to be extra careful.

Now the addition of construction materials has directly turned the highway into a one-way street.

Immediately, Chen Yin got out of the car and walked towards the construction site with things in her hands.

It happened that Sun Mingying was also supervising the construction site today. When he saw Chen Yin, he immediately came forward excitedly.

"Doctor Chen, how come you have time to come here today?"

"I'm not on duty this weekend, so I'll go home and take a look. Boss Sun, from now on, please don't let the piles of things on the construction site affect the normal lives of the surrounding residents. It's not good for the clinic."

Chen Yin's tone was not very serious, but Sun Mingying's heart was in great fear and he immediately looked towards the highway.

When I saw the road was blocked, I immediately said:

"We delivered the materials overnight last night. I guess the driver didn't pay attention. Doctor Chen, don't worry, I will arrange for the transfer immediately."
