Chapter 89: Ovarian Cyst She is Herself
Amei was grumbling in her heart, thinking that those people were really tight-lipped, and none of them mentioned that the doctor was so young.
Could it be that all the shares on Xiao Zishu are actually advertisements?
Amei regularly accepts various promotional offers, some of which are so well-placed that viewers can't even tell they're there. Judging by the doctor's age, perhaps he's mastered this trendy promotional method.
But Amei wasn't worried. She came prepared. She pulled out a camera from her bag and asked, "I'm in the habit of recording vlogs. Do you mind being in the camera?"
Amei has nearly one million fans on various platforms combined. The influence of an internet celebrity of this level is already very strong. If this young Chinese medicine practitioner cannot remove the melasma on her mother's face, Amei will naturally "actively avoid" this Chinese medicine clinic that has recently become popular on Xiao Zishu for netizens.
Shen Jiang shook his head, took another look at the silver-white retro-style machine, and praised sincerely: "Your camera looks really high-end."
Amei reminded her of Zining, who looked like a queen but had a very cute personality. Come to think of it, she didn't know how her traditional Chinese medicine account was doing.
Amei said proudly: "This is the latest model from C."
She waited in line for half a day before she got it.
Shen Jiang began to take Amei's mother's pulse. Amei's mother was 52 years old. Liver qi disharmony was secondary to her condition. Shen Jiang discovered an ovarian cyst, and her expression darkened. Ovarian cysts are often caused by repressed, unexpressed emotions. Everything is shaped by its physical form, and the spots on Amei's mother's face were also related to this.
To cure an illness, you have to address its root cause. Shen Jiang patiently inquired, "Do you often keep things bottled up inside? Do you feel a lot of grievances?"
Amei's mother was easily knocked down by the young female doctor's words. Before she could open her mouth, tears started to flow, which made Amei, who was holding the camera, stunned.
Shen Jiang pulled out a tissue and handed it to the patient, saying softly, "If you want to cry, just cry as much as you can. Don't bottle up your emotions in the future; just let them out."
Amei's mother's tears suddenly flowed even harder.
Over the years, Amei's mother has experienced oppression from her mother-in-law, her husband's infidelity, and her mother's death. She is completely confused and has thought about dying several times. If Amei was not still young and needed her, she really would have no hope.
At this time, they were the only patients who came to Mingxin Hall to see the doctor. Amei felt very uncomfortable when she heard her mother start to pour out the frustration and grievances that had been pent up in her heart.
She used to boast to others that her mother never urged her to get married, and she never imagined that her mother had suffered so much in this marriage. Because she had been caught in the rain, she wanted to hold an umbrella for her daughter.
Amei's mind flashed like lightning across the night sky, and she blurted out, "Mom, every time I put makeup on you and dressed you up young and fashionable, you were so happy. I thought you were insecure because of these spots. But actually, you feel like you've returned to the state you were in before you got married, right?"
Amei's mother nodded gently: "Every time at that time, I feel that I am myself, I am Li Aihua, not someone's wife or someone's mother."
Amei's expression was complicated. If she hadn't brought her mother here to treat melasma today, she would never have known this.
Although her mother had not yet taken the medicine prescribed by the young doctor, when Amei looked at Shen Jiang again, there was a bit more awe in her eyes.
Shen Jiang first prescribed a 7-day prescription for Amei's mother and told them to come back for a follow-up visit after taking the medicine.
Amei was puzzled: "Don't other people get rid of their spots in ten days? Why do we have to come back again?"
"The time it takes to remove freckles varies from person to person. Your mother has ovarian cysts, so I'll have to adjust the prescription based on her condition. I'll also give her acupuncture."
Shen Jiang has recently been researching a way to combine the healing arts of light magic with acupuncture. If successful, the light magic will be more concentrated at the needle tip, and with the application of acupuncture, it can achieve amazing therapeutic effects. It is very suitable for cystic diseases like this.
Amei was silent again. She decided to take her mother to the city hospital for an ultrasound examination in the afternoon.
Half a month later, Amei's video was released.
Originally, she wanted to record this visit to the doctor in the form of a vlog, but in the end she decided to use a two-person narration, that is, she and her mother faced the camera and talked about this time's treatment with traditional Chinese medicine.
Amei created a very detailed script to control the rhythm of the video, from the various initial doubts, to Dr. Shen's precise pulse diagnosis, to the evidence from the medical examination report, the entire video tells the story in a leisurely manner. Especially when it came to the emotional parts, when she was editing, she looked back at her mother's appearance at the clinic and compared her mother's radiant appearance now, and she cried several times.
At the end of the video, Amei’s mother is reading a book by the window with a calm expression on her face.
This is a secretly filmed video that Amei saw when she woke up one day. Her mother, bathed in the morning light, looked peaceful and beautiful, as if she were reborn.
Most of Amei's fans are girls. As an internet celebrity blogger with millions of fans, her video became a hot topic among fans as soon as it came out.
"Oh my god, when I heard Amei's mother say 'I am myself', I felt like tears were about to come out."
"I have to know where this clinic is right away! Can you tell me the address?"
"Girls are truly the most beautiful things in the world."
…
The influence of this video ultimately exceeded Amei's imagination. On the same day, the hot search #She is herself# landed at the top of the Big Eyes Topic List, sparking netizens' thinking on women's issues, and also making Shen Jiang and Mingxintang popular.
But that’s all in the past.
Now, Shen Jiang, who had just finished treating a patient, walked to the backyard and observed the growth of the ephedra plant that she had blessed with the magic circle.
Twelve days have passed since she planted the ephedra. The magic circle is running well with the blessing of the magic stone, and she has only used up two magic stones. The first magic stone makes the ephedra revitalized, and the latter magic stone used to stabilize the ephedra is consumed extremely slowly. It is estimated that it will be enough to use it for another month or two.
As for another red peony root that was freshly picked from another world, Shen Jiang did not use the herbal rejuvenation magic circle, and it completely withered the next day.
It seems that in order for plants from another world to survive here, they must have the blessing of a magic circle.
The medicinal materials here will only come in continuously. If she doesn't find a suitable source, it will sooner or later become suspicious.
Shen Jiang had an idea in mind and immediately went to discuss with his cousins: "The quality of this batch of medicinal herbs is excellent, but it's not easy to keep finding someone to buy them. I'll find a way to ask someone to send a batch of rhizomes. They should arrive in two days. I'd like to trouble my cousins..."
Chen Ru quickly realized what Shen Jiang was about to say, "Leave it to us. We've been growing herbs for so many years, we're sure we can make it survive."
Shen Jiang smiled and planned to find an excuse to go to the countryside with her aunt and the others. To grow these otherworldly herbs, they needed the blessing of the Herb Rejuvenation Magic Circle. She would need to go to the crystal shop later to buy some crystals.
Chen Ru thought of a question and asked, "The villagers have been supplying medicine to Mingxintang. Should we plant these rhizomes with them as well?"
Chen Houkang glared at his wife and blamed her for bringing this up.
Chen Ru shrugged. "Our land is right next to someone else's, so everyone can tell what's being planted. This matter is unavoidable. Rather than letting the villagers come and harass Shen Jiang, why don't we be the bad guys?"
Shen Jiang looked at them, puzzled.
Chen Houkang scratched his head, wanting to say something but stopping himself. The villagers had followed their elder brother and sold all their medicine to a big boss, making a killing. Shen Jiang probably didn't know about this, but they all felt bad about it.
Shen Jiang: "Uncle, just say whatever you want to say."
Chen Houkang didn't want to gossip, but he was also afraid that Shen Jiang would suffer a loss. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "It would be great if such a good herb could be grown, but the villagers now think that the price Mingxintang pays for the medicine is unfair. Even if we let them grow the medicine, they might sell it to big bosses outside for a high price."
Shen Jiang understood and guessed that something happened when her eldest cousin sold the medicine last month, which she didn't know about, and that was why her younger cousin and aunt were worried.
Shen Jiang: "My eldest cousin has long known that Mingxintang's current batch of medicinal herbs is particularly good. He even went to the hospital to see Grandma last time. If he sees your herbs, he will definitely come to me. My cousin is right, this matter cannot be kept secret. How about this, if anyone in the village wants to grow them, you can ask them to come to me to buy roots and rhizomes. Whether they can grow them well depends entirely on their own ability. I will not force anyone to supply the herbs to Mingxintang."
Without her herbal rejuvenation magic circle, these herbs would not survive at all. But Shen Jiang would not say this, after all, if she did, she would only be regarded as a joke.
Chen Ru didn't expect Shen Jiang to be so magnanimous. She originally wanted to help Shen Jiang scold those ungrateful people.
"After all, she was raised by my aunt, so she has an open mind." Chen Ru couldn't help but sigh, "When your cousin graduates and comes back, I'll have her learn more from you."
Shen Jiang was embarrassed, thinking that her aunt seemed to have some serious misunderstanding about her.
Chen Yingfa had originally planned to get the source of these herbs from his aunt, hoping to profit from reselling them. Unexpectedly, his usually friendly aunt was wary and refused to reveal the source of the herbs. He had been staking out Mingxin Hall for the past few days, hoping to find the person who delivered the herbs so he could trace the shipping address.
After several days of squatting, Chen Yingfa only saw Mingxintang's business gradually pick up, but he didn't see anyone delivering any goods. This made him secretly puzzled. Since his brother and sister-in-law were busy preparing medicinal materials every day, how could there be no new medicine coming in? Could it be that Mingxintang had a backdoor that he was unaware of?
Just as Chen Yingfa was about to go around to the back to check the situation, the phone rang. The caller was the big boss that Chen Yingfa had contacted before.
"Chen Yingfa, you're very lucky. Our eldest lady took a fancy to the medicinal herb samples you sent last time and specifically asked you to become a supplier. When can you deliver the goods?"
Chen Ying said with a bitter face: "Give me another week. I guarantee that I can deliver the goods within a week."
I heard that Mingxintang has so many medicinal herbs that they can’t even be stacked up. With the current customer flow of their clinic, I’m afraid that the medicine will rot before it can be sold out.
But Auntie and Shen Jiang were wary of him like thieves. Chen Yingfa decided that if he didn't see anyone delivering the medicine today, he would just "borrow medicine" from Mingxin Hall.
