Shen Qiqi's heart shuddered. That cold gaze made her feel uneasy.
She suppressed her uneasiness and quickly followed everyone back home.
Grandma Zhang's condition was critical and she had no time to think.
Arriving at the Lu family's house, Shen Qiqi immediately asked Lu Qing to boil some water, and then told others to find some clean towels.
She moved quickly and efficiently, giving orders with confidence, showing no signs of being awkward as a newcomer.
"Oh, this Qiqi girl is really good!" Aunt Chen watched from the side and couldn't help but admire her.
But at this moment, Dr. Liu Barefoot arrived.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Shen Qiqi busy at work. He frowned and shouted, "Stop it! You little girl, what are you trying to do again!"
Barefoot Doctor Liu put his hands on his hips, a look of distrust on his face.
The last time Granny Zhang was sick, if it weren't for Shen Qiqi, he would have cured her with the old method long ago, and she wouldn't be half dead now.
This time, he must not let Shen Qiqi do whatever she wants!
"Doctor Liu, Grandma Zhang is in critical condition and can't be delayed!" Shen Qiqi said anxiously, she knew that time is life.
"Critical? I think you're exaggerating! I've been practicing medicine for many years, and I've seen all sorts of difficult and complicated cases. How can you be so intimidating as to tell me what to do?" Barefoot Doctor Liu snorted disdainfully. "I still haven't settled the score with you for last time!"
Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart.
"Doctor Liu, I know you're experienced, but this time the situation is different. Granny Zhang has been poisoned!"
"Poisoning? What a joke! I think you've read too many novels!" Barefoot Doctor Liu scoffed. "This is clearly just a common cold. Use my old prescription, and it'll definitely cure it!"
"Doctor Liu, you..." Shen Qiqi wanted to explain, but was rudely interrupted by Doctor Liu Barefoot.
"What do you mean by 'you'? You have no right to speak here! Go away!" Barefoot Doctor Liu glared at Shen Qiqi, with an expression that did not allow any doubt.
Seeing this, Lu Qing immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Shen Qiqi, saying in a cold tone, "Doctor Liu, Qiqi is also doing this for Granny Zhang's own good. Please be more polite."
When Dr. Liu Barefoot saw Lu Qing protecting Shen Qiqi, he became even more furious.
"Lu Qing, you're such a traitor! You've married a wife and you've forgotten your mother!"
“Doctor Liu, you…” Lu Qing wanted to say something, but was stopped by Shen Qiqi.
Shen Qiqi shook her head at Lu Qing, signaling him not to say anything more.
She knew very well that arguing with Dr. Liu would only waste precious time.
"Lu Qing, go and call Hunter Zhao for me." Shen Qiqi whispered to Lu Qing.
Although Lu Qing didn't understand Shen Qiqi's intention, he immediately did as he was told.
Seeing this, Barefoot Doctor Liu snorted coldly, "It's no use calling anyone! Today, I must let this little girl know what it means to respect the elderly and love the young!"
As he spoke, he took out a few silver needles from the medicine box and prepared to give Grandma Zhang acupuncture.
Seeing this, Shen Qiqi became anxious and quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Doctor Liu, you can't..."
At this moment, a voice came from outside the door: "Qiqi, what's wrong?"
Shen Qiqi turned around and saw Uncle Lu standing at the door, looking at the situation inside the house with a puzzled look on his face.
The appearance of Uncle Lu Er made the already tense atmosphere even more tense.
As soon as he entered the room, he frowned and pointed at Shen Qiqi and said, "Third sister-in-law, what are you doing again? Isn't the last incident enough? Doctor Liu is a serious doctor, you are just a yellow-haired girl, why are you meddling in this?"
Grandma Zhang's family also echoed Uncle Lu's words. They were always skeptical about Shen Qiqi's new method.
In their opinion, barefoot doctor Liu is the one who is trustworthy.
After all, this is how our ancestors have lived.
"Yes, Third Daughter-in-law, please stop making trouble and let Doctor Liu take a look."
"We trust Dr. Liu. He's a good doctor and will definitely be able to cure our mother."
Facing everyone's doubts, Shen Qiqi felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
The little trust she had built up with great difficulty collapsed in an instant.
She knew that in this day and age, it was not easy to change people's deeply rooted ideas.
She looked around and felt isolated and helpless.
It was as if I were a bird trapped in the mud, struggling but seeing no hope.
At this moment, a pair of warm big hands held hers tightly.
It’s Lu Qing.
He didn't say much, but told her with a firm look in his eyes: "Qiqi, don't be afraid, I will always support you."
Lu Qing's warmth was transmitted through his palm to Shen Qiqi's heart, dispelling the chill in her heart.
She knew that in this strange era, there was at least one Lu Qing who was truly on her side.
Just when Shen Qiqi felt a little calmer, Doctor Liu Barefoot had already started giving acupuncture to Grandma Zhang.
As he twisted the silver needle, he glanced at Shen Qiqi complacently, as if to say, "See, my old method still works!"
Shen Qiqi didn't try to stop him anymore.
She knew very well that at this moment, there was no point in saying more.
She must first understand the situation before making any plans.
She turned to look at Dr. Liu and asked softly, "Doctor Liu, what do you think of Grandma Zhang's current condition?"
She did not insist, but first asked about the diagnosis results of Dr. Liu Barefoot, which surprised everyone.
Doctor Liu Barefoot was a little confused by Shen Qiqi's sudden "humility", just like a player with the pause button pressed, stuck for half a second.
His face, filled with disdain, was as stiff as a steamed bun just taken out of the refrigerator.
But he was an old hand after all. He cleared his throat and put on an expert air: "Humph, I've been practicing medicine for many years, I can tell at a glance! Granny Zhang has a cold that has entered her body, and her Qi and blood are not flowing smoothly. Give her a few injections and some medicine, and I guarantee the disease will be cured!"
