As the affairs of the He family fermented in the village, the villagers talked about the Yu family behind their backs. Yu Jiao's name became known to everyone at once. Most people envied the Yu family for buying such a capable daughter-in-law for good luck in marriage. At the same time, some also said harsh words about Yu Ruhai's poor medical skills.
When Zhao was visiting, she heard some rumors and criticisms, and when she came back she told them to Yu Zhou and Yu Ruhai. Yu Ruhai was so angry that he lost his temper and forced Yu Qiaoshan to hang the plaque sent by He Dongsheng on the gate of the courtyard so that everyone in the village could see it.
After the gilded plaque was hung up, it really attracted a group of people to watch. Yu Ruhai satisfied his vanity. Standing under the plaque, he emphasized to the villagers more than once that Yu Jiao learned all her medical skills from him.
The people who listened to him hypocritically praised Yu Ruhai for his good teaching in front of him, but turned around and ridiculed him behind his back, saying that who would believe that the apprentice he taught could cure the diseases that he could not?
However, the Yu family became very famous because of Yu Jiao. After all, even wealthy people in the city came to see doctors and give gifts, which was very enviable. It was also for this reason that the villagers were unusually accepting of the fact that Yu Jiao, as a woman, was a doctor.
Someone from the Chen family asked Yu Jiao to come to their house to treat the old lady's cough. The person who came was Chen Zhiqing, Chen Rou's brother. He passed the examination for the status of a scholar last year. Yu Ruhai treated him very kindly. Since Chen Gensheng had handled the matter of Yu Jiao being included in the family tree very quickly, Yu Ruhai knew the purpose of Chen Zhiqing's visit and agreed immediately. He turned around and found Yu Jiao and asked her to go to the Chen family for treatment.
Yu Fuling wanted to learn more medical skills from Yu Jiao, and when she heard that she was going to the Chen family to see Chen Rou's grandmother, she immediately dropped the unfinished shoe uppers and pestered Yu Jiao to go along.
As soon as Yu Jiaofu nodded, Yu Fuling quickly grabbed the medicine box and held it in her arms.
The two followed Chen Zhiqing to Chen's house and ran into Chen Rou and Chen Ying in the yard. Yu Fuling called out eagerly, "Arou."
Chen Rou's delicate oval face showed a faint smile, "Fuling, you came with Miss Meng?" She looked at Yu Jiao and said softly, "Miss Meng, I didn't know your medical skills were so good. I think my grandma's cough should be cured this time."
Yu Jiao smiled faintly and responded, "Miss Chen, you are too kind. I haven't examined the patient yet, so I don't know what the symptoms are, and I don't know if he can be cured."
"It turns out that Miss Meng knows Arou. I'll have to trouble Miss Meng to take care of my grandmother's illness." Chen Zhiqing said with a smile.
"Let's go see the patient first." Yu Jiao didn't want to say any more polite nonsense and said directly.
Chen Rou took the initiative to step forward and said, "I'll take Miss Meng to grandma's room."
Yu Jiao nodded and followed Chen Rou into the west room of the Chen family's house. Chen Ying wanted to see if Yu Jiao's medical skills were as amazing as the villagers said. Even though he looked down on Yu Jiao, he still followed her into the house.
Chen Gensheng and his wife were both in the old lady's room. When they saw Yu Jiao come in, they smiled at her kindly. It was the first time they had seen Yu Jiao. Seeing how pretty and young she was, they were a little puzzled. Could such a young girl really have some magical medical skills that were worthy of the masters of wealthy families coming to her house in person for treatment?
But Yu Ruhai's medical skills were indeed not that great before, considering that he had been living in the village for a lifetime.
The old lady of the Chen family, who was sitting on the bed, was coughing lightly. She wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, lifted her loose eyelids and looked at Yu Jiao, and asked Chen Gensheng, "Where did you invite this doctor from? And this is such a young girl. You...ah...I have told you so many times, don't look for a doctor anymore. My cough cannot be cured. You can save some money for Zhiqing's studies."
"Mom, this is Yu Jiawulang's wife. She is a very good doctor. The money for Zhiqing's studies has been saved at home. We need to take him to the hospital." Chen Gensheng was quite filial. He stood beside the bed, bent down, and coaxed old lady Chen in a gentle voice.
When Mrs. Chen heard Yu Jiao's identity, she stared at her carefully for a while, held the handkerchief in her palm, and said indifferently, "So she is the wife of the fifth brother of the Yu family. Didn't Ah Rou get the cough medicine from the Yu family a few days ago? It's useless. Let her go back."
"In that case, I'll go back first." Yu Jiao said decisively, turning around and heading out.
People always ask doctors for treatment, but why does she ask patients for treatment? She had persuaded Mu Yan in a kind way in order to show her status in front of the Yu family, but now she didn't have such patience.
Upon hearing this, Chen Gensheng hurriedly stopped her, "Miss Meng, don't be angry. The old lady has taken a lot of medicine and seen many doctors over the years, but her cough has not been cured, so she said these words."
If it were in the past, Chen Gensheng would not have been so polite. He was the head of the village, so there was no need for him to lower his posture to a little girl like Yu Jiao. However, he still took He Dongsheng into consideration.
The masters of such prominent and wealthy families were all on good terms with Yu Jiao. Chen Gensheng saw this and invited her to treat the old lady, also to make friends with the Yu family.
Yu Fuling also pulled Yu Jiao's sleeve. Yu Jiao frowned slightly, suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, grabbed Yu Fuling's hand, and walked outside with her.
Although Chen Rou was still thinking about what happened outside the Yu family last time, Old Lady Chen loved her the most since she was a child. She sincerely hoped that her grandmother's cough could be cured. She explained softly, "Grandma, the last decoction was prescribed by Grandpa Yu. People in the village say that Miss Meng's medical skills are better than Grandpa Yu's. Please let her take a look. Grandma's cough has not been cured. Every time your granddaughter hears you coughing, she feels bad."
Old Mrs. Chen loved Chen Rou very much. She had been pretty since she was a child and had always been the apple of the old lady's eye. Seeing Chen Rou speaking in a soft voice and acting coquettishly, her attitude softened a lot.
Chen Gensheng gave a wink to his wife Chen Qinshi, who quickly chased out the door and stopped Yu Jiao.
"Why is Miss Meng so irritable? My mother-in-law is old and has never seen a female doctor in her life. It is normal for her to complain." Chen Qin frowned and looked at Yu Jiao. She suppressed her displeasure and persuaded her, "Arou did get medicine from your Yu family some time ago, but it didn't work for my mother-in-law. She said that because she was worried about the money. Don't bother with the old lady."
Yu Fuling also helped, "Yu Jiao, go check on Grandma Chen's cough. She has been ill for many years. Ah Rou has been getting medicine everywhere, but she hasn't gotten better."
Chen Qin lowered her attitude and said kindly, "Miss Meng, I didn't make it clear to the old lady before. I hired a female doctor. I'm really sorry."
Yu Fuling looked up and gave Yu Jiao a flattering smile. Seeing that Yu Jiao had relaxed, she pulled her back into the house.
Chen Ying, who followed him, couldn't stand the way Chen Qin was being humble to Yu Jiao, so she said unhappily, "Meng Yu Jiao, you are deliberately being so arrogant. Are you unable to cure my grandma's cough? That's right, how capable can you be as a bride bought by the Yu family for a wedding?"
