Chapter 11 Identity Crisis
Du Qingtang placed his wrist on the pulse pillow, his fingertips still wet, his sleeves also half wet, his expression calm: "Then thank you for your help."
Doctor Sun had a round face and a grin that resembled the Maitreya Buddha. He spoke slowly and calmly, "It's so cold, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold if your clothes get wet."
Du Qingtang readily agreed: "I'll change it later."
Doctor Sun nodded and calmed down to take the patient's pulse.
In just a few words, Zhu came back to her senses from her shock. Her eyes did not move at all, and she stared at Du Qingtang with disbelief in her eyes.
Why is this damn girl so calm?
Doesn't she know that doctors can tell whether a person is a man or a woman by looking at the pulse?
Or was it Brother Sheng who made a mistake, and Doctor Sun actually didn't have this ability?
Zhu has always trusted Yuan Sheng blindly, and she felt that Du Qingtang was unaware of this.
When Doctor Sun reveals the secret that Yuan has kept for so many years, the little girl will probably be scared to death!
It would be best if he was scared to death, which would also be revenge for Brother Sheng.
Although Yuan Shi is as stupid as a pig, she can make money. Without Du Qingtang's instigation, she would not be able to escape from Yuan Ping and her own Five Finger Mountain.
Zhu was calculating when Yuan rushed in: "Doctor Sun, my daughter Tang is fine, there's nothing wrong with her. There's no need for you to check her pulse. You've made a wasted trip..."
"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" How could Zhu allow Yuan to ruin their plan? She covered her mouth with her hand and pinched the soft flesh on her waist. "Doctor Sun has waited so long, how can we let him come for nothing? I've paid for it. Tang'er has worked hard to study. Even if he doesn't have a serious illness, any minor pain or ailment can be treated as soon as possible. Don't make trouble. If you affect Doctor Sun's pulse diagnosis, I will not forgive you!"
Yuan struggled, but she was no match for the broad-waisted and strong-armed Zhu. She covered her mouth and pinched her flesh, and could only look at Du Qingtang with tears in her eyes, hoping that Du Qingtang would wake up and interrupt Doctor Sun's pulse diagnosis.
Unfortunately, she was destined to be disappointed.
Du Qingtang sat steadily, looking straight ahead, as if he couldn't see the physical communication between his mother and aunt.
"Huh?" Doctor Sun suddenly spoke and glanced at Du Qingtang in confusion.
Zhu was ecstatic. She stared at Doctor Sun with her round eyes without blinking, afraid of missing the crucial moment when the secret would be revealed.
"Hiss, that's not right." Doctor Sun frowned. "Give me your left hand."
Du Qingtang did as he was told.
Zhu snorted in dissatisfaction. The old man was really useless. He couldn't even judge such a simple pulse and had to switch to the other hand.
Yuan's heart was about to jump out of her throat. She struggled desperately, making incoherent growls, and her pleading eyes were filled with resentment.
Why did she do that?
Doesn't she know that once the secret that Tang Jie'er is a woman is leaked, everything in the first house will fall into the hands of the second and third houses?
Seeing Doctor Sun switch from examining Du Qingtang's right hand to his left, and then grabbing Du Qingtang's right hand and fiddling with it, Zhu's expression was unusually solemn, and she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot: "Doctor Sun, please give me an answer, what's the reason for this switching back and forth?"
"What's the hurry?" Doctor Sun rolled his eyes at her. Du Qingtang and Yuan Shi didn't say anything, but she kept whining, more annoying than a toad in the field.
Zhu shut up awkwardly and cursed Doctor Sun a thousand times in her heart.
After another round of both hands, Doctor Sun finally stopped and said, "Tang'er's pulse..."
Zhu asked anxiously, "What's the pulse?"
Doctor Sun twirled his beard lightly and solemnly announced in front of Zhu and the six members of the Yuan family: "Tang'er is fine."
Zhu: “???”
Zhu was dumbfounded. "What did you say? No problem? How can there be no problem? Sun, did you not really take Tang'er's pulse seriously? You're such a quack, you've cheated me and tricked me. I'll beat you to death, you old bastard!"
Doctor Sun was a big mouth with an excellent eloquence. He could not stand this insult and immediately slammed the table and started to criticize Zhu, spitting in her face.
"You called me a quack? I called you a black-hearted, vicious woman!"
"It was you who said Tang Ge'er was seriously ill and rushed me over here. Tang Ge'er wasn't home, so you dragged me outside in the cold wind for half an hour, almost freezing me into a lump of ice!"
"I thought Tang'er was seriously ill, but guess what? Tang'er is fine. At most, she's a little weak. She's still growing and has to study. She doesn't have much to eat, so it's normal for her to be a little weak."
"You damned old woman, you're talking nonsense. You're cursing your own nephew, aren't you afraid of your tongue rotting?"
Doctor Sun caught up with Zhu and scolded her so harshly that her eyes were wide open and she couldn't utter a word.
On the other side, Yuan Shi regained her freedom. Frightened by Doctor Sun's scolding, she snapped out of her ecstasy of surviving the disaster and rushed over to hug Du Qingtang: "Tang'er! Damn Tang'er! You're scaring me to death!"
Du Qingtang: “…”
Zhu's face was covered with saliva, but she was still unwilling to give in: "Besides being weak, do you have any other problems?"
"Get lost! You old bitch, you have bad intentions, cursing your own nephew. I'll have to tell everyone about your evil heart later!"
Doctor Sun snorted coldly, put his medicine box on his back and walked away.
"Mother of Sheng'er, what are you doing? Do you want to kill Tang'er?" Yuan was so angry that she was shaking all over and questioned Zhu in a shrill voice.
Oh wow, I finally stood up for once.
Du Qingtang had just finished sighing when Yuan bent her knees and knelt down: "No matter how many mistakes you make, they are all my fault. If you want to beat or scold me, just come to me. Tang'er..." The secret must not be known to outsiders.
Yuan caught a glimpse of four girls peeking at the door, swallowed the rest of her words, and kowtowed to Zhu.
The sound is crisp, and you can tell it's a good start right away.
Du Qingtang: “…”
Du Qingtang kicked away Yuan's hand that was grabbing the corner of her robe, took three or two steps forward, and stared at Zhu.
She was half a head shorter than Zhu, but her aura was like a mountain pressing down on her, causing Zhu to breathe rapidly and look erratically.
"aunt."
Zhu didn't know what went wrong and why Dr. Sun didn't diagnose Du Qingtang's true gender.
Could it be that he is such a quack that he can't even determine the most basic gender?
She had to go back quickly and tell Sheng Ge'er the bad news.
Revenge must be taken, but it has to be done in a different way.
Zhu laughed dryly twice: "Since Tang'er is fine, I'm relieved. I still have a lot of things to do at home, so I'll go back first."
Just as he was about to slip away, Du Qingtang grabbed him and said, "Aunt, don't you want fish? Come with me outside and pick out a few plump ones."
Zhu finally couldn't resist the temptation: "Please help me choose, I'll wait here."
The damn girl's eyes are like knives. If we go together and attack her when she is not prepared, we will be finished.
There is a long time to come. You can’t escape the fifteenth day even if you can’t. Sooner or later, she will expose the dead girl’s true colors!
Zhu swore secretly, and the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She rolled her eyes and slapped Yuan in the face.
Yuan had experienced great joy and great sorrow, and the slap made her dizzy, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted on the spot.
"mother!"
Four girls rushed in and hurriedly carried Yuanshi to the kang in their room.
Although they were angry at Yuanshi for being so ungrateful, they had depended on each other for many years and could not just stand by and watch her die.
Zhu spat, "A room full of money-losing goods!"
Du Qingtang quickly returned to the kitchen, but what he was holding in his hand was not a fish, but a shiny kitchen knife.
Du Qingtang was seen holding a kitchen knife in his right hand, placing a stool at the door with his left hand, and sitting down, blocking the narrow wooden door tightly.
An ominous premonition came to her mind, and Zhu was secretly alert: "What do you want to do?"
This damn girl is crazy. Is she going to lose her life here today?
Du Qingtang stood at the door, the kitchen knife in his hand gleaming coldly: "Is the trouble over?"
Zhu wanted to say that this matter was not over, but she had to bow her head under the eaves, not to mention that she had a knife in her hand: "It's over, it's over."
"Now that you're done, it's my turn."
Du Qingtang suddenly sneered, revealing his white teeth, and raised his knife. With a "click", half of the blade was embedded in the door frame.
"You made me unhappy today. When I'm unhappy, I get mad, and when I get mad, I want to chop people for fun."
"If you want me to stop going crazy, you can, but just pay me back."
Zhu didn't react: "What compensation?"
"Mental damage compensation." Du Qingtang said confidently, "Also, return all the money my mother sent to the Yuan family over the years to me, to the last penny."
"My family's money has been with you for over ten years. In addition to the principal, I have to pay interest. If you pay even a penny less, I'll kill you."
"Not only will I chop you down, I'll also chop off Yuan Ping and Yuan Sheng, and send the three of you to reunite in the underground."
"Give me back the money?" Zhu had never seen such a shameless person. "That money was given to your uncle by your mother. Why should I give it back to you? I don't have the money! I won't give it back!"
"You don't have to pay me back, but you have to be prepared to not be able to walk out of this door today."
Du Qingtang pulled out a kitchen knife and rushed straight towards Zhu's face.
