Zhiwan, hands on her hips, looked at the patient waiting for her and sighed softly.
“Dad, look at these patients’ clothes and appearance. Which one of them looks like a rich person? I’m giving them free pulse diagnosis not to make money from their medicine, but because I want to make sure that people who can’t afford medical treatment can get treatment here.”
Her words immediately resonated with the patients, who began to discuss among themselves:
"Doctor Luo is such a good man. You have no idea how expensive the two clinics and three pharmacies in Yong'an City are. We have to endure our illnesses because we can't afford to see a doctor."
"Yes, my mother died because she couldn't afford the medical fees. Now that there are kind people like Doctor Luo who are willing to treat everyone for free, it's a blessing for the people of Yong'an City. Please don't stop!"
"Please don't stop! I was thinking of bringing my dad to see it this afternoon."
"..."
The murmurs of the crowd filled Luo Zhiwan's ears. She glanced at Luo Tianhe.
“Father, no matter what others think of me, or how they try to cause me trouble, I will not stop giving free pulse diagnosis. I did the same thing in Phoenix City, which earned me a good reputation among the people. Now that I’m in Yong’an City, I will continue to do so. I open a clinic not only to make money, but also to benefit the people.”
After saying that, she directly addressed Zhiruo:
"Bring your mother over here. I'll bandage her wounds and then continue taking pulses for everyone."
Jiawang's mother quickly raised her hand to refuse, "My little injury is nothing, everyone has been waiting for you for so long, you should take their pulses first!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd quickly tried to dissuade them.
"Let's bandage the old lady first; her injuries are quite severe."
"Yes, we're not in a hurry. What's the rush when it's a free consultation? What's wrong with waiting a little longer?"
"Let's bandage the old lady first, we're not in a hurry..."
"..."
Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, Zhiwan turned her head to look at Jiawang's mother.
"Mom, let me bandage you up first, otherwise everyone is just passing you around, which is taking up too much time."
Jiawang's mother nodded helplessly and followed her to sit down next to her examination table. Zhiwan brought gauze and disinfectant, quickly cleaned the bloodstains, disinfected the wound, and then bandaged it.
Afterwards, she asked Zhiruo to take her back to the backyard to rest.
Originally, Jiawang's mother didn't want to go back to rest because the front yard was so busy, but she couldn't resist Zhiwan's orders and Zhiruo's persuasion, so she had no choice but to go to the back yard with Zhiruo's accompaniment.
In a short while, the place returned to normal, and all the patients began to line up in an orderly manner, even quieter than before.
Seeing her doing things her own way, Leng Chuchen shook her head with some concern, turned around and went out the door.
It wasn't until he returned to his own shop that he asked:
"Has the letter from the palace been delivered?"
Li Ping hurriedly returned.
"Young master, this letter was only sent out five or six days ago, how could it have arrived so quickly? You're not usually such an impatient person, why are you in such a hurry this time?"
"We only have one month. We can't possibly have to go and pay the protection fees that the government wants to collect for these merchants next month!"
Seeing him say that, Li Ping teased him:
"Isn't it only right to do this for Miss Luo's sake?"
He turned around, frowned slightly, then raised his chin to look at him.
"You're right. I'd do anything for Zhiwan, but if anyone says anything unpleasant, I'll cut out their tongue."
Seeing his face turn cold, Li Ping shrugged inwardly and dared not say another word.
After leaving the Luo family's medical clinic, Huang Langzhong became increasingly angry.
When has he ever been treated like this?
In this city of Yong'an, someone actually dared to lay a hand on him. If he tolerated it, wouldn't he become a laughingstock?
Thinking of this, he clutched the wound on his forehead and headed straight for the government office.
As he approached the entrance to the government office, he found a wall, gritted his teeth, stared at it, and slammed his head against it.
In a short while, the wound on his forehead became more serious than before.
He raised his hand to cover his wound, groaning as he walked towards the government office.
After greeting the guards at the gate, he went straight to Sun Dachuan's office.
"Cousin, you have to help me!"
Before the others even entered the house, the words had already reached them.
Only Sun Dachuan knew that he had made a fortune off Leng Chuchen. He didn't give the money to his wife; instead, he secretly hid it away, taking it out to look at it from time to time, thinking that when he was old enough to be strong enough, he would marry Taozi...
When he heard Physician Huang's voice, he hurriedly stuffed the silver notes he had just finished admiring into the drawer and locked it. At the same time, Physician Huang walked in, covering his head with his hands.
Seeing this, he angrily asked:
"Who did this? In this Yong'an City, everyone knows our relationship. Who would dare to hurt you, let alone use such force?"
Feeling wronged, Doctor Huang found a chair to sit down, humming and complaining.
"The person who injured me was the owner of that newly opened pharmacy on Dead Street, a woman known as Doctor Luo..."
Sun Dachuan still feels lingering fear when he mentions the woman who died on the street.
That brat still has the document he wrote in her hand; he promised her he wouldn't cause her any trouble.
Thinking of this, he calmed his breathing, raised his eyebrows, and asked:
"How could you, a grown man, let her hurt you?"
Doctor Huang blinked a few times, feeling guilty.
“Cousin, you have no idea, she’s snatched all the patients in Yong’an City. I was thinking of going to confront her, but her mother blocked my way. I just gave her a light push, and she tripped and fell, hitting her head. Then that woman insisted that I deliberately pushed her mother, and she grabbed my head and slammed it against the corner of the table. If my head hadn’t been hit hard, she would have died on the spot…”
