Chapter 224 Medical Examination Troubles
Doctor Qiu could hear the sour words of his colleagues, and he was furious, but he was too embarrassed to say anything, and he didn't know how to refute them for a long time.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Doctor Zhou hurriedly pushed aside the doctor who had introduced him, and immediately stepped forward to warmly shake Doctor Qiu's hand, with an attentive and enthusiastic look. "Doctor Qiu, oh, your girl is amazing! We arrived in Lan County the day before yesterday. Not only did they give us a warm welcome, they also introduced us to smallpox research. They said that their current cowpox vaccination method has achieved unprecedented results. They have already inoculated cows with smallpox and then infected humans with cowpox. The next step is to find the smallpox pathogen and conduct research on humans! Brother Qiu, congratulations! If they really develop a cure for smallpox, it will be a matter of great fame!"
Everyone was stunned.
What, cowpox? Vaccination?
Let people actively infect themselves with smallpox?
Is this Doctor Zhou crazy? What nonsense is he talking about?
Doctor Zhou smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a line. He held Doctor Qiu's hand affectionately, stroking the back of his hand repeatedly, and called him "Brother Qiu" affectionately.
"Brother Qiu, I'm also very interested in this cowpox research. Since Dean Qiu is your daughter, could you please tell her that I, Old Zhou, donate money every month to help educate people without taking a penny? Could you... hehe... could you let an old man like me do a little to help?"
Good job!
When everyone got here, they seemed to come to their senses!
So, the people at this medical school are really researching a miracle cure for smallpox?!
Judging from Dr. Zhou's excitement, it seems that he has made considerable progress?
Doctor Qiu felt a little nervous when facing the enthusiastic Doctor Zhou. He was thinking about how to refuse tactfully when he heard a commotion at the entrance of the college.
Two old men were sitting at the entrance of the college, with disheveled hair, making loud accusations, attracting many people to watch.
"You shameless thing! My son taught you all your medical skills! Not only did you kill my son, but now you have the nerve to use the medical skills my son taught you to do this despicable deception! My son is dead, and you will be a sinner in our Tang family for the rest of your life! My son is lying in the cold ground, and you are making a fortune in the open. I tell you, Qiu Ju Niang, you have to fulfill your filial duty to my son! Don't even think about getting rid of us!"
"You!" The female student next to Qiu Jiuniang suddenly pulled her away. She placed her thin body in front of the two elderly men who were making a scene at the door, saying, "Today is the day for our medical school exams. Stop making trouble here! Go call the security team and have them drag them away!"
"Mother Qiu Ju, do you dare to say that you didn't kill my son? Even if you win the lawsuit, you must have bribed Lord Sun with money. Otherwise, how could you escape punishment with such irrefutable evidence? You married into our family and have been childless for several years. My son spoiled you and even taught you medicine. But you learned the medical skills and then poisoned my son to death in the blink of an eye. How did my son ever let you down that you treated him so cruelly—"
Tears welled up in Qiu Ju Niang's eyes as she was forced to retreat step by step by her ex-mother-in-law. The crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger, making Qiu Ju Niang feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. She could only reach out to help, "Madam Tang, my late husband's case was already concluded. He was terminally ill and incurable. It had nothing to do with the medicine I prescribed! If it weren't for those few doses of strong medicine, my late husband wouldn't have lived that extra month! Since you've already cruelly kicked me out, I have nothing to do with your Tang family anymore. Why bother to embarrass me again—"
"Everyone, come and see! This Vice Dean of the Medical School is a vicious woman with a beastly heart! My son treated you like a snake in his mouth, afraid you'd melt, and like a snake in his hands, afraid you'd drop. He almost held you in his heart. Now, he hasn't even been dead for two years, and you've already turned your back on him... How could there be such a vicious woman like you in this world..."
The old woman jumped up and tried to pull Qiu Ju'niang. Qiu Ju'niang staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"You're the dean of a medical school now, and you have plenty of money. My son taught you medicine, and now you have to take care of us in our old age. One hundred taels a year, not a penny less!"
"What are you doing? Let our teacher go!"
"How dare you, an old hag, bully our teacher? Do you think we're all dead? Sisters, get your weapons ready! Get this old hag out of here!"
"What old bastard dared to blackmail our teacher? Since our teacher has been kicked out by your family, it has nothing to do with you. You are just trying to blackmail him! Quick, quick, go report to Lord Fang and tell him that someone is blackmailing us!"
"Dare to bully our teacher? I'll fight you!"
As expected of a girl from Lan County, she is more daring than girls from other places!
Several girls immediately pulled Qiu Ju'niang back. One of them grabbed the old woman's hair and pulled it back. The old woman screamed in pain and let go immediately.
Qiu Ju Niang immediately loosened her shackles and saw everyone around her looking over here, seemingly pointing and talking. Her eyes reddened as she shouted, "Mrs. Tang, please respect yourself! Today is the day of the medical school exam. If you make trouble again, I will have to call the security team to ask you to leave!"
"Oh my, look everyone, she's feeling guilty...she's trying to cover my mouth!"
"Enough!" A single voice was heard as Doctor Qiu emerged from the crowd. He slowly walked over to the old woman and said viciously, "Madam Tang, our two families have long since dissolved our marriage. You kicked Qiu Juniang out of your home two years ago, and you clearly stated at the time that even if Qiu Juniang died outside, it would have nothing to do with you. That night, it was raining heavily, and it was winter, yet you stripped my daughter naked, robbed her of all her money, and left her walking barefoot to Jinzhou. How dare you come and harass her now? Besides, Doctor Tang's case was already concluded, and you, as the victim, signed the agreement back then. Why are you making trouble now?"
The tears in Qiu Ju'niang's eyes suddenly burst out.
This was the first time in her life that Qiu Ju Niang hid behind her father's majestic figure.
Father...is willing to speak for her.
Does that mean her father has forgiven her for her rebellious behavior?
"Why are you pretending to be such a good person here? Didn't you refuse to let Qiu Ju Niang into your house because you thought it was bad luck?"
Doctor Qiu was so angry that his chest was puffed with anger, but he still said, "But at least I gave her money and clothes to stay! Unlike you, the Tang family, who only want to squeeze every last drop of my daughter's blood and energy!"
The old woman looked a little guilty, but as more and more people gathered around her, she seemed to gain confidence. "I don't care. She's making money now, so she has to support me. My son taught her medical skills, so she can't get away with it."
"What a joke!" Doctor Qiu frowned. "I've never heard of a disciple being obliged to support his master's parents after his master dies!"
"Yeah, no wonder this old woman chose this time to come, it seems like she wants to extort money."
"I'm telling you, you don't know this. When Doctor Tang was alive, this old woman often asked him for money to support her child. Doctor Tang's medical studies were only possible thanks to the financial support of his uncle's family."
"That's really shameless."
"Ah, Dean Qiu is so unlucky to have such a mother-in-law."
Someone shouted, "The security team is here!" and the crowd dispersed and retreated.
Sure enough, a group of ten soldiers dressed like soldiers soon appeared. They were all tall and strong, with fierce expressions. The leader noticed the old woman's erratic and furtive look and shouted, "Who dares to cause trouble in the medical school? Today is the day for the doctors in Jinzhou Prefecture to take exams. You dare to cause trouble, you old hag? Take you away and interrogate you to find out what your intentions are!"
The old woman, her hands handcuffed behind her back, immediately yelled, "Hey, hey, General, I'm the mother-in-law of your Dean Qiu. I have something to ask her. You can't just arrest people arbitrarily—"
The security team leader looked at Qiu Ju Niang and asked respectfully, "Doctor Qiu, is this your mother-in-law?"
Qiu Ju Niang looked at the somewhat crazy Mrs. Tang, her brows slightly frowned, and her heart ached when she thought of her late husband.
Looking at the expectant eyes of the students, the doctors from Jinzhou Prefecture standing all over the yard, and the gloating eyes of some colleagues, Qiu Juniang's gaze gradually became firm.
My dear husband, I'm sorry, I'm going to go my own way this time——
"She is my late husband's mother, but my wife, Qiu Ju Niang, was divorced by her two years ago. The Qiu and Tang families no longer have any relationship. Captain Li, please take her away."
"Alright!" Captain Li knew what to do after seeing Qiu Ju'niang's expression. He immediately ordered his men to escort Madam Tang away. Madam Tang continued to curse, "Qiu Ju'niang, you ungrateful bitch! You shall not live well! All your skills were taught by my son. If he were still alive, all this wealth and glory would belong to him!"
Suddenly, there was a crisp slapping sound!
Doctor Qiu took a step forward, his face darkened, and he raised his hand to slap Old Madam Tang hard!
"Bullshit! I taught Ju Niang the art of medicine. Her skills and talent are countless times better than your son's! Your son also learned a lot of prescriptions from me. I'm lucky I didn't cause trouble for your Tang family! If you dare to cause trouble with Ju Niang again, I'll tell the whole Jinzhou Prefecture that your son stole the prescriptions from my father-in-law! Just wait and see how your little son behaves in the future!"
When Dr. Qiu said this, everyone in the medical school was shocked.
What?
Didn’t Qiu Ju Niang learn medicine from Doctor Tang, or did she learn from her father when she was still in the boudoir?
Qiu Ju'niang was already in tears.
"Niang Ju, let's go. If this old man comes to trouble you again, have your students beat him out with big sticks!"
Doctor Qiu entered with his daughter, and the female students around Qiu Ju Niang excitedly shouted at Doctor Qiu's back, "Master, we know!"
Old Doctor Qiu frowned and sternly scolded: "Stop yelling, it's unruly! Who is your master?!"
But even though he was scolding, there was a hint of smile in his brow.
Qiu Ju'niang burst into tears at this moment. Her father grabbed the corner of her clothes and walked inside step by step. Suddenly, all the grievances she had suffered seemed to disappear.
"Father, don't blame him for that incident with the prescription back then... I saw that patient in unbearable pain and insisted on giving it to him. He didn't steal the prescription from my Qiu family. It's all my fault, Father. I embarrassed you."
Doctor Qiu glanced at Qiu Juniang sideways, his face sullen. "How old are you? Why are you crying like this? You're the chief examiner today. Are you going to take the Jinzhou Prefecture doctor exam like this? That would be a disgrace to my Qiu family!"
Qiu Ju Niang quickly wiped away her tears and said, "Father, I understand."
Doctor Qiu sighed, "You have your own students now, and some of them are very protective of you... It seems that when it comes to teaching and educating people, I am not as good as you."
Qiu Ju Niang quickly said, "Father, that's not the case. Those girls..."
At this point, Qiu Ju Niang smiled with relief, but she still said to the girls who were tiptoeing behind her with a stern face: "You girls are too lawless. Go back and wait for me!!"
Qiu Ju Niang seemed to have thought of something, her face darkening. She tugged at her father's sleeve and said solemnly, "Father, wait a moment. I have something else to take care of."
After saying that, Qiu Ju Niang said coldly to the young doctor behind her, "Doctor Ma."
Doctor Ma, who was called by name, spoke respectfully but with an arrogant look on his face: "Director Qiu, please give your instructions."
Qiu Ju Niang narrowed her eyes slightly. "From now on, you are fired from the medical school. Please complete the resignation documents as soon as possible. I don't want to see you in the medical school tomorrow."
——Wow.
The doctors following behind him were all shocked, and the doctors from the medical school were even more excited. Some of them even came over to watch the fun with excitement.
Doctor Ma immediately shouted angrily, "Why?! What right do you, Qiu Ju Niang, have to fire me? What qualifications do you have to fire me?"
"Why?" Qiu Ju'niang's voice was colder than ever before, and her thin body seemed to burst out with infinite power.
"First, with the City Lord's authorization to manage the medical school's personnel and logistics, I have the right to decide on doctor vacancies. Second, you can't tell right from wrong. I could turn a blind eye to your usual glares at me, but today is the medical school's rare doctor exam. On such an important day, you, out of selfish selfishness, brought my ex-mother-in-law and disrupted the exam room. You deserve death! Our medical school has no place for a two-faced villain like you!"
Doctor Ma's face turned pale instantly!
Doctor He arrived late and as soon as he entered the room he saw Qiu Ju Niang confronting Doctor Ma.
The house was dead silent.
Everyone looked shocked. Some doubted what Qiu Ju'niang said, some looked down on Dr. Ma, but some also felt sad about Qiu Ju'niang's tough approach this time.
You know, Qiu Ju Niang is the only female doctor in the medical school, and the other male doctors are inevitably isolated. However, Dr. Qiu is devoted to laboratory research and teaching, and tries to be tolerant towards them.
No one expected that Qiu Ju'niang would be so ruthless!
As expected, you can’t mess with honest people.
Look at Qiu Ju'niang, her demeanor now really is like that of a vice president.
Doctor Ma reacted immediately, pointing at Qiu Juniang's nose and cursing, "Qiu Juniang, you're talking nonsense! Do you have any evidence? Without evidence, you're just making random accusations and smearing my innocence! I'm telling you, if you don't explain yourself clearly today, I won't let you go!"
"Evidence?" Qiu Ju Niang sneered. She had become much thinner, making her look even more fierce. "My words are the evidence!"
