Chapter 43: Touching Porcelain
Time flies.
Before I knew it, it was already noon.
The originally crowded living room gradually became empty.
Only a few family members were left, still waiting for Ruan Chuxia's diagnosis and treatment.
Ruan Chuxia gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hand.
I was just about to pack up the things at hand and take a short rest.
Just then, there was a noise at the door.
"I heard there's a doctor here who can treat illnesses? Is that true? Where's that doctor? Come and see him!"
A middle-aged woman's voice was very loud.
Following him in was a woman in blue work clothes with a red armband on her arm.
She has dark skin and a fierce look.
"Hey, isn't this the deputy director of the Women's Federation?"
Someone in the crowd immediately recognized this person with a special identity and greeted him.
Then he no longer cared about his illness and left in a hurry as if he had encountered something unlucky.
At this time, Ruan Chuxia was concentrating on taking the pulse of one of her sisters-in-law.
After hearing this noise, the sister-in-law seemed a little hesitant, and finally stood up and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, she lowered her head and whispered to Ruan Chuxia, "Little Sister Ruan, I won't be watching for the time being. You should also be more careful."
She glanced worriedly at the person at the door and added in a low voice, "That's the deputy director of our neighborhood Women's Association, Zhou Juan. She's not easy to deal with. She always likes to take advantage of others, and she has a terrible temper, is unreasonable, and is very domineering!"
"Little Sister Ruan, be careful when you see her."
After saying that, the young sister-in-law hurriedly packed up her things, picked up the bag, and got up and left.
Ruan Chuxia looked up at the door and said, "The morning's work is over. If you really want to see it, please come back in the afternoon."
Zhou Juan acted as if she didn't hear anything and just sat down.
He waved his hand impatiently, domineeringly placed her thick, dark hand on the pulse pillow, and urged: "Oh, how much trouble can it take for you to take a look for me! Hurry up and help me take a look!"
There was a greedy look in her eyes.
"Xiao Lichang's wife's family is really rich. These things are not cheap."
Zhou Juan's tone was filled with obvious jealousy.
The look he gave Ruan Chuxia became even more unfriendly.
Ruan Chuxia didn't bother to respond. She wiped her hands with a towel, pushed her wrist onto the table, put away the pulse pillow, and said calmly, "It's lunch time now. I have to go take food to my husband, so I can't see you."
"If you want to see the doctor, please come back this afternoon."
"Oh, you're so shy about asking someone to see you, huh? Just because you married Village Chief Xiao, you think you're so great that you start looking down on others?"
Zhou Juan’s eyes widened.
She seems to be particularly good at satirizing others.
She is used to taking advantage of small opportunities and is also the deputy director of the Women's Association.
"It shouldn't take that much time to cook a meal. The ladies in the family compound are all very quick and nimble. If you finish watching and then go cook, you can definitely catch up!"
"I see you're speaking with such energy. You've been lingering here for quite some time. You don't look like a sick person at all."
Ruan Chuxia stood up, opened the door and gestured for her to leave.
"Deputy Director Zhou, you should go back first. I only see those who are truly ill. I see that you look very good."
Obviously, Zhou Juan was not satisfied with this treatment.
She looked at Ruan Chuxia's smiling face and always felt that she was mocking herself in disguise!
She immediately became angry, lying on the stool without moving, and sneered.
"I asked you to take a look, but you're so reluctant. If someone saw me, they'd think I'd offended you!"
Ruan Chuxia looked at the other person expressionlessly, and suddenly the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
"Okay, in that case, I'll show you."
Zhou Juan's eyes suddenly lit up and she snorted triumphantly.
"That's what it's like."
"Little Sister Ruan, no matter how you look at it, I am your elder. I've been busy running around for the Women's Association every day, serving so many sisters-in-law, and I've even gotten sick from exhaustion. If you want to charge me now, isn't that unreasonable?"
Obviously, Zhou Juan had no intention of hiding her little thoughts.
Relying on his age, he stated his purpose directly and openly.
Faced with this situation, Ruan Chuxia remained very calm.
She began to gently feel Zhou Juan's pulse and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?"
"I checked your pulse; it's strong and virile. Your complexion is still rosy, your voice is as loud as thunder, and your limbs are as strong as a large wolfhound."
"With a physique like yours, you don't need any conditioning. Even if you encounter a wild boar in the wild, you won't suffer any loss!"
Zhou Juan was moved by what Ruan Chuxia said.
I was completely stunned, feeling something was not right deep down.
Although on the surface Ruan Chuxia was praising her physical fitness.
But the tone made her feel uncomfortable.
She thought carefully for a while before gradually understanding what was happening. She widened her eyes and angrily demanded, "You're scolding me! You're calling me a beast!"
After hearing this, Ruan Chuxia raised her eyebrows slightly.
The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a hint of a smile: "Deputy Director Zhou, please don't misunderstand me. What I said is all true."
But Zhou Juan didn't believe this at all.
In a state of excitement, he suddenly stood up from his seat.
"Your husband is so good at making money, and he usually provides you with good food and drink. What's wrong with him getting some medicine to nourish the sisters in your Women's Committee?"
Seeing this scene, Ruan Chuxia's eyes became extremely stern.
"Taking tonics carelessly is harmful to the body. Take you for example, your Qi and blood are already abundant. Continuing to take tonics will only backfire and cause side effects."
After saying this, Ruan Chuxia stood up.
Zhou Juan was unwilling to accept this.
She heard early in the morning that Ruan Chuxia was offering discounts for treating patients at home, so she made a special trip to take advantage of this bargain.
Now not only did I fail to save money, but I was also severely hurt.
This is really hard to swallow.
Zhou Juan rolled her eyes, pushed the table hard, and said sarcastically: "Oh, the wife of the head of Xiaoli Village is so powerful. Even the deputy director of the Women's Committee can't afford to offend her."
"Okay, if you want to watch it, then watch it. If you don't want to watch it, forget it. I'm not that lucky!"
She passed by Ruan Chuxia with a dark face.
Just as he walked out of the door, he suddenly fell to the ground with his hands on his head, shouting loudly: "Ouch! Ouch! My head hurts! What did you do to me! Ouch!"
"Someone come quickly, the wife of the village head has wronged someone, come and seek justice!"
Zhou Juan pretended to be weak and lay on the ground, shouting loudly.
People who don’t know the truth would really think that something is wrong with her!
Ruan Chuxia was also enlightened. She had never seen such a person who was trying to scam people!
She looked coldly at Zhou Juan who was throwing a tantrum on the ground and sneered.
