"Shut up!" When Pei's mother heard this, she ran out of the house and yelled at her.
Xu Cui said aggrievedly: "Mom, this is not my fault. It was your precious daughter-in-law who did it. Why can't I say anything?"
Zhou Baoquan also said: "That's right, she can see, why can't she say it?! This matter is embarrassing, but I don't want to lose face and I can't let you fool me!"
As he said this, he stared at her eagerly.
Jiang Xi smiled, too lazy to say more, and only said: "As a doctor, I see no gender difference as long as they are patients, men or women. What is there to be forbidden about? Since you believe that I cheated you and want me to pay you, fine, call the police and let them talk about this matter."
Mother Pei's expression changed. If this happened under other circumstances, as a mother-in-law, she would indeed feel uncomfortable.
But what my daughter-in-law said makes sense.
She is a doctor and should treat patients equally regardless of gender. It is thanks to her being a doctor that she has taken such good care of her son. You can't just benefit from someone's advantages and then dislike their shortcomings, right?
Pei's mother is not well educated, but she always acts according to her heart.
Therefore, she stood firmly beside Jiang Xi and said, "Yes, that's not true. I've given you the medicine. Why are you saying you were cheated? Why would I cheat you out of that little money?"
Xu Cui gritted her teeth. She had never thought that even after all this, this old woman would still protect Jiang Xi. She immediately became furious and said in a sinister tone, "Okay, mother, as long as you don't mind. It will be common for your daughter-in-law to show her butt to men in the future. Maybe it will be more than just a butt..."
"Comrade!"
A solemn rebuke was heard.
Xu Cui's expression froze, and she looked in the direction of the sound, her face slightly changed.
Shi Zhonghua came out of the house, looking solemn in a military uniform, with a dark look on his tough brows. He walked up to Xu Cui step by step and said in a deep voice: "Comrade, do you know that Pei Hejun is still an active military officer? Insulting the family of a military officer, do you know how serious a crime it is!"
Xu Cui was stunned by the yelling. When she realized what the words meant, she felt a chill on her back and her face turned pale. She didn't dare to say a word.
Pei Chunhong was also terrified, but as the oldest granddaughter, she still tried to hold on and said, "I'm sorry, my mother can't speak, auntie, I'm sorry."
Jiang Xi shook his head and smiled, not taking it seriously: "What kind of person you are, you will see what kind of things. As a doctor, I treat diseases. Some people have only filth in their hearts, so naturally they see these filth."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Cui's pale face suddenly turned red, feeling embarrassed and annoyed.
But Shi Zhonghua was still staring at her. She didn't dare to move. She was really scared, so she lowered her head and ran away.
Pei Deming was also a little panicked and followed them.
The remaining three children also left quickly.
Liu Xiaohua had been reluctant to intervene because of Zhou Baoquan's affairs, so she hid aside. Seeing this, she also said, "Mom, I'm leaving too. I'll take a rest the day after tomorrow, and then I'll go to the county town to see Dad."
"Let's go, let's go." Pei's mother was very tired. After so much going on today, she didn't have the energy to care about anything else.
Liu Xiaohua quickly grabbed her two children and ran away.
Zhou Baoquan is the only outsider left.
Everyone's eyes were on him.
Especially Shi Zhonghua in military uniform.
Xiang Yiyang also came out, but as he was older, he did not dare to join in. However, he stood at the back, and the purple service badge on the chest of his military uniform still showed that he had a different status.
You can tell at first glance that he's not someone you'd want to mess with.
Shi Zhonghua said in a deep voice: "Comrade, you have to rely on evidence to speak. If you simply don't believe in Dr. Jiang's medical skills, you can return the medicine, but you have to return it. If you think Dr. Jiang is cheating, then just go find the police and let them judge!"
Zhou Baoquan's face tensed up, and his buttocks, which had not hurt before, began to hurt again.
He didn't expect the situation to turn out like this, and he was in a difficult situation for the time being.
He was just angry and came here to ask for a refund, thinking that he had been cheated and didn't want to suffer any loss. However, Jiang Xi threatened him, saying that her medical skills seemed to be quite good. He didn't think that she would not come again in the future, so he deliberately made things a little serious, hoping that she would give in.
But now...
The military still has great prestige, especially these two who look very powerful. The medicine he applied on his butt is also very effective, so maybe Jiang Xi is not trying to cheat him out of money?
This guess made Zhou Baoquan feel confused, but he couldn't ignore it as many eyes were on him. He could only stammer, "Comrade, I..." He was about to mumble over it when he suddenly remembered Li Quan. His eyes lit up and he stopped stuttering. "It was Li Quan who said that. He asked how old Doctor Jiang was. His medical skills must not be very good. How could he tell at a glance that I had a stomach problem?"
"Besides, I really didn't feel anything after applying the medicine, so I thought what he said must be true. Doctor Jiang lied to me. It's not my fault. I have an impulsive temper. I apologize to Doctor Jiang, and let this go? I won't return the medicine, okay?"
Shi Zhonghua said nothing and looked at Jiang Xi.
Jiang Xi looked indifferent and took two pills from his arms. "No need. I'll refund you the pills and we're done. As a doctor, I still advise you to go to the hospital. Now we have a colonoscopy, which can see where the problem is in the intestines. You'll know after you look at it."
After that, she went to the clinic to get the money.
Jiang Xi kept the Pei family's own money and the clinic's money separately. They could not be mixed, as this would easily cause problems.
Two packets of medicine cost RMB 1.6. She took the money and stuffed it into the embarrassed Zhou Baoquan's pocket. Then she said, "Okay, go now. Don't come again."
She acted confidently throughout the whole process.
Zhou Baoquan was even more worried and felt a little regretful.
She was so calm, so she was most likely not lying. Then, wasn't there something wrong with her health? !
He was reluctant to leave and was about to say something.
However, Shi Zhonghua couldn't stand him anymore and pushed him away: "Don't bother Doctor Jiang anymore!"
Zhou Baoquan: “…”
So what should he do? !
He shuddered and covered his stomach. If something went wrong, who would he go to for justice? Li Quan would definitely not care.
Zhou Baoquan quickly shouted at the top of his voice: "Doctor Jiang, it was Li Quan who coaxed me that made me make a mistake! I'm sorry, Doctor Jiang, Li Quan is going to a big hospital for further studies. His cousin said that the deputy captain secretly gave him the quota to guard against you. For the sake of telling you this news, Doctor Jiang, can you forget about this matter? Can you treat me?"
If it could be cured, he would be willing to pay for it even if it was a little more expensive.
Several people in the room were stunned. Jiang Xi thought for a moment, took out eighty cents from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Baoquan: "Thank you for the news. The medicine patch is from me. Goodbye."
Zhou Baoquan: “?”
But it was too late.
The courtyard gate was already closed, and he wanted to call the two people, but Shi Zhonghua was staring at him through the broken gate, which made him feel creepy.
I can't afford to offend you, so I can only hide.
He had a bitter face, sighed, took two steps, then became energetic again and went towards Zhou's house.
Pei Family
I'm afraid that Zhou Baoquan's shout was heard by all the neighbors.
However, thinking that the Pei family had guests today, although the neighbors were concerned, they did not come over to ask about the situation.
The people in the room were discussing, especially Pei's mother, who had originally wanted Jiang Xi to be the team doctor. When she heard about the further study, she immediately became anxious: "Comrade, this further study, doesn't it have to be given to Li Quan?"
"He's not only a bad medical practitioner, but also a bad person. It's such a shame to give him the medicine. If he really learns something, our team will be in trouble and we will have to spend a lot more money." Mother Pei couldn't help but grumble.
Xiang Yiyang said gently, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will ask when I go back this time. It happens that the person in charge of this training is an old comrade of mine. Otherwise, I would not know about this. I will report the situation here truthfully."
Pei's mother felt relieved when she heard this: "Thank you very much, comrade!"
She believed that as long as they knew the truth, they would definitely choose Jiang Xi instead of Li Quan!
Jiang Xi also thanked him.
After the matter was settled, she asked Pei's mother to rest here and talk to them while she went to cook. But Pei's mother didn't want to. She was a little angry at the time, but she calmed down and everything was fine.
So she insisted on cooking.
She felt that she was being unfair to the customers by letting Jiang Xi do it. The kid's cooking skills were still the same, and the standard was edible.
Jiang Xi also knew this, so she didn't force her and made her some ginseng and brown sugar tea.
The two children, Jiang Yu and Jiang Mi, had been hiding in the room when people came. After people left, they came out again, one to help in the kitchen while the other cleaned the bathroom and cleared the table to make it convenient for dinner later.
The Pei family actually lacks nothing.
Except meat.
But this time, Pei Hejun's comrades also sent a lot of things, including a leg of lamb, which was dried and could be preserved for a long time. Although the taste was not as good as fresh meat, it was still meat.
Mother Pei took great pains to cut a lot and did it very generously.
Almost every dish contains meat.
In addition, when I went to the doctor's office, I used goods to repay debts, and many people gave me mushrooms. At this time, I made mushroom meat soup, stir-fried lamb, and hot and sour potatoes made with lard...
Pei's food tastes good, and everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
After dinner, the two did not stay any longer and drove away, agreeing to go to the hospital to pick up Pei's father at noon five days later.
After cleaning up after dinner, Jiang Xi didn't let Pei's mother come. He also made her an appetizer of tangerine peel and brown sugar tea and stuffed it into her hand: "Drink some water. You didn't eat much for dinner. I left a bowl of it in the pot to keep warm. If you get hungry in the middle of the night, go and eat it yourself."
Mother Pei held the tea in her hand. She looked tired, but her heart was warm.
Things really weren't going well at home this year, with accidents happening one after another. Fortunately, Jiang Xi was there, otherwise she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to make it this time.
If it weren't for her.
Mother Pei thought about it and decided that someone had to go there no matter what. Her two sons were eyeing the pension for the third son, and she was afraid that no one would be willing to take care of the old man. Only she could go, and the third son would have to be taken care of by them.
I don’t know what it will be like then.
Unlike now, although the eldest family is still not honest, the second family probably knows that they can’t get the pension, and they also know how powerful Jiang Xi is, so they are quite honest.
Active care in hospital.
The second son's wife didn't say much.
Mother Pei was trying to comfort herself in her heart, but today was definitely not a happy day. She felt sad and her husband was not around, so she went to see her son.
Ever since Jiang Xi got married, she rarely took care of her son personally unless she had something to do.
As soon as she entered the house, she looked at her fair, clean and handsome son and felt that he was a little strange. In her memory, except for when she was a child, she felt that her son was a little quiet, and then when he grew up, he became tall and big.
Wearing a military uniform, he looked so handsome that there was no one in the whole town who was more handsome than her son.
Pei's mother couldn't help laughing. She was about to tease her son for being too white, but before she could finish her words, she suddenly found that her son's eyes were open.
Mother Pei: “!!!”
