Chapter 42 Going to Fan's House
The old lady Chen and her husband sang in unison, with a hypocritical look on their faces, but they were already very happy in their hearts.
This notice is well-made, cleverly-made, and it brings out great things.
Qing girl has caused such a big trouble, I don’t believe that the eldest son will not give in.
Chen Zhanshan knew clearly that the old lady Chen and her husband had not returned the fifty taels of silver to Li the butcher, and were just waiting for him to be cornered.
They might as well take this opportunity to force him to sell Qing Yatou, but he would not let them do so.
Seeing their fake and ugly faces of taking advantage of others' misfortunes, the rage in my heart surged up, and I trembled with anger. "You don't need to worry about our family's affairs. You should just take care of your own business!"
Old Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth in anger, "You really don't know what's good for you. If that's the case, just wait to collect the body of this dead girl!"
Chen Qingqing smiled coldly and scolded him harshly, "Put away your bad intentions. Life or death is our family's business. It's not the turn of outsiders to dictate."
Old Lady Chen's face was so gloomy that it looked like water was about to come out of it. "You, you damned child, what's wrong with you? You can't even recognize all the herbs, and you still want to treat Master Fan. If you cause trouble and implicate us, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."
Chen Qingqing raised the corner of her mouth slightly, with a look of ridicule, "Old woman, have you forgotten that our family and yours no longer have any relationship? It was you who strongly requested that the letter of severance be written?
So, even if I get into huge trouble, it’s my family’s business and has nothing to do with you.
If you know what's good for you, go somewhere cooler and stop barking like a mad dog."
"You..." Old Mrs. Chen was so angry that her chest heaved up and down and she couldn't utter a word.
Shi Taishou saw these people blocking his way and shouted impatiently, "Are you guys done yet? Get out of my way! My master is waiting to see a doctor."
Wu Baoan hurriedly squeezed in from outside the crowd, "Butler Shi, please stay."
Shi Taishou was slightly stunned, squinting and raising his eyebrows, "Who are you and why are you stopping me?"
Wu Baoan clasped his hands together and said, "I'm Wu Baoan, the head of Nanshan Village. As far as I know, this young girl doesn't know how to treat illnesses. She took down the notice. There may be some misunderstanding. Let me ask you about it before you go on your way."
Shi Taishou waved his hand and said, "You don't need to say more. Since this girl dared to reveal the notice, I must take her back to the Fan Mansion, so Wu Lizheng won't have to worry about it."
"Butler Shi is wrong. Everyone in Qingshui Town knows that Mr. Fan is a wealthy woman. If you take her away and she really can't treat a disease, wouldn't it be a crime to implicate Butler Shi? In my opinion, it's better to be safe." Wu Baoan looked like he was thinking about you.
Shi Taishou touched his chin and said, "Okay, if you have anything to say, ask it now. Don't delay our journey."
"Yes, yes, yes." Wu Baoan thanked him repeatedly and turned to look at Chen Qingqing. "Qing girl, I know your family is having a hard time, but you can't fool people just for the reward!"
Chen Qingqing's eyes were filled with confidence. "Uncle Lizheng, I'm not just trying to get a moment's pleasure. I can cure Mr. Fan's illness."
Mr. Fan is a bully in Qingshui Town. No one within a hundred miles dares to offend him. What if this girl can't do anything? Wouldn't it implicate the villagers of Nanshan Village?
Wu Baoan continued to persuade her, "Qing girl, if your family has nothing to eat, think of other ways. Treating a patient is no joke..."
Chen Qingqing interrupted him with a smile and assured him, "Uncle Village Chief, thank you for your kindness. Since I dare to reveal the notice, I am confident that I can cure Mr. Fan's illness. Don't worry, I will take responsibility for my own actions and will definitely not implicate anyone in Nanshan Village."
Seeing her confident expression, Wu Baoan's frown relaxed. "Okay, go ahead. Remember, if anything happens, be sure to notify me immediately. Don't try to handle it all on your own."
"Okay, Uncle Lizheng, I won't say thank you." Chen Qingqing said, smiling at Shi Taishou, "Butler Shi, let's go!"
"Miss Chen, please get in the car."
Chen Qingqing got on the carriage and headed straight for Qingshui Town...
Watching the carriage going away, Chen Zhanshan and his wife felt uneasy. They didn't want their daughter to take risks, but now the matter was done and they could only let it go.
The two murmured, "Qing girl, you have to be careful!"
"My daughter, I'll wait for you to come back."
......
The carriage started to move slowly. Chen Qingqing sat in the carriage and looked at the ring on her hand, feeling secretly happy.
What a surprise! I thought this thing was useless, but it turned out to be a treasure.
She accidentally activated the system. It seems that practicing medicine and treating illnesses is her career...
We sped all the way and arrived at Qingshui Town in no time.
The carriage stopped in front of a large courtyard.
Chen Qingqing couldn't help but sigh that taking a car was indeed faster than walking. She remembered that the last time she came to the town, her legs were almost broken from walking.
I jumped out of the car and looked up. It was a wealthy house with stone lions on both sides, which looked very grand.
She sighed in her heart, as expected, a wealthy man would live in an extraordinary place, it seemed that she could make a good fortune.
Shi Taishou straightened his clothes and came closer, "Miss Chen, please come in."
Chen Qingqing didn't think any more and walked straight in.
Shi Taishou then instructed the servant beside him, "Hurry up and go to the backyard, invite the lady out, and tell her that I have invited a doctor to treat the master."
"Okay, I'll go and inform them right away." The servant didn't dare to delay and ran forward quickly.
Arriving at the hall, Shi Taishou ordered the servants to serve tea and water. After a few pleasantries,
Chen Qingqing asked, "Butler Shi, what are your master's specific symptoms and how does he itch? Please give me a brief overview so I can get a basic understanding."
Shi Taishou shook his head and smiled, "It's unbelievable to me, but just over a month ago, my master was in great health and enjoyed everything he ate.
But I don’t know what’s going on recently. I must have run into some evil spirit and suddenly my stomach feels itchy.
At first my husband could bear it, but later he couldn't stand the itchiness anymore and scratched his belly until it was bloody and sticky.
He screamed and wailed during the day, couldn't sleep at night, and was exhausted from all the torment. His body was becoming increasingly thin and he looked like a piece of shit.
Chen Qingqing thought it was quite funny and suppressed her laughter. "What do other doctors say?"
"All the doctors gave the same diagnosis, saying it was some kind of blood-wind sore, caused by the wind. I drank a lot of herbal broths, but it didn't help at all. Instead, the itching got worse day by day."
"So that's how it is." Chen Qingqing understood. Blood-wind sores are also called wind itch or wind pruritus in traditional Chinese medicine.
This disease is mostly caused by blood deficiency, heat generating wind, internal blood heat, impaired spleen and stomach function, and internal generation of dampness and heat. It can be cured by taking some diuretics and antipruritic drugs.
While she was thinking, she heard a voice outside, "Where is the doctor? The master is itchy and crying out, go and take a look at him quickly."
