Ye Weiwei flicked a silver needle and inserted it into Lin Dasao's acupoint. Lin Dasao, who had been screaming like a pig being slaughtered, suddenly became mute and could not make a sound.
Sister-in-law Lin was terrified and wanted to reach out to touch her neck, but when she saw the silver needle in her body, she was too scared to move.
She turned to ask for help from those around her, only to find that the Lin family members around her were all staring at Ye Weiwei as if they had seen a ghost, and no one paid any attention to her at all.
Seeing that Ye Weiwei had intimidated the Lin family with her first move, Huo Jiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and anxiously looked towards the door, hoping that his third brother and father would return soon.
Ye Weiwei looked at Sister-in-law Lin with a cold face, "Who do you think you are to pretend to be an elder in front of me and even want to teach me a lesson on behalf of my parents? Who gave you the nerve?"
After saying that, she fiddled with the silver needles in her hand, her gaze sweeping over the Lin family like a knife. She said to the eldest brother of the Lin family, "Chinese culture is profound and extensive. I may not recognize all the characters, but I can guarantee that I recognize more than all of you combined! Before you called me a fraud, did you even bother to learn about me? Look at you all dressed so respectably, yet a mere two hundred yuan consultation fee has exposed your true colors. How pathetic!" "You're not afraid of biting off more than you can chew. A mere two hundred yuan? If you don't care about such a small amount, then don't charge me at all!" A woman standing behind her said with an unpleasant purse.
Ye Weiwei scoffed, "I really don't care about this mere two hundred yuan. I just felt sorry for Grandpa Lin, an old man suffering from illness, and thought it would be enough to just accept a small token as a daily act of kindness. But since we've come this far today, the consultation fee is two thousand yuan, not a penny less!"
"Why don't you just rob it!" Old Master Lin's daughter, Lin Xiafei, shouted angrily.
Ye Weiwei didn't even bother to glance at her, and turned to look at Old Master Lin, "That acupuncture treatment just now was worth two hundred yuan in consultation fees. Do you think it was a bad deal, sir?"
"No loss, no loss! This old man made a profit!" Old Master Lin said hurriedly.
Just now, Ye Weiwei gave him acupuncture, and he felt a warmth finally appear on his legs, which had been ice-cold. He felt more comfortable than ever before. Even if this feeling could only last for a few days, he felt that the two hundred yuan was well spent!
"Dad! Are you... not thinking straight?" Lin Xiafei wanted to say that Grandpa Lin was possessed, but then she suddenly remembered that with so many people here, it would be bad if someone caught her doing something wrong, so she quickly changed her words.
Two hundred yuan for one acupuncture treatment? Is this robbery?
If she didn't trust her father's character, she would have suspected that he was having an affair with this brat!
Her gaze darted suspiciously between Ye Weiwei and Old Master Lin, wondering to herself if this brat was Old Master Lin's illegitimate daughter.
"You're the one who's not smart! I think you're not only not smart, but also have a bad conscience. You can't stand to see me doing well! Are you all hoping this old man will kick the bucket soon so you can divide up the inheritance?"
Who would dare to answer that?
Although many members of the Lin family had this thought in their hearts, who dared to say it out loud?
Lin the eldest quickly said, "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about! How could we possibly think that way!"
"Yes, Dad, what kind of people do you take us for!"
Others echoed his sentiments.
Old Master Lin snorted coldly; "Then what are you all doing here? I can't even see you all normally, but today you're all here, just for two hundred yuan? I raised you all, and now I have to beg your attitude when I spend my own money on medical treatment? You're really filial!"
The Lin family members were all embarrassed after being scolded by Old Master Lin.
Lin Xiafei retorted, "We're just worried you'll be scammed. How could a young girl like her possibly cure an illness that even the doctors at the county hospital can't?"
Old Master Lin sneered: "Just because you're incompetent doesn't mean everyone in the world is as mediocre as you! You're a frog in a well!"
Lin Xiafei was so angry at being humiliated in public that she almost fainted. Just as she was about to say something, she heard a series of hurried footsteps. The hospital director led a group of people and people from the county public security bureau over.
When Dean Xia saw the group of people surrounding Ye Weiwei in the ward, he was so frightened that he quickly squeezed to Ye Weiwei's side, asking, "What are you all doing?"
The Lin family knew Dean Xia, and as soon as they saw him, they immediately began to complain.
"Dean Xia, you've come at the right time! This young girl is swindling people in your hospital, pretending to help the elderly with their medical treatment and cheating them out of their money!"
Upon seeing the police arrive, Lin Xiafei excitedly exclaimed, "Officers, quickly arrest this swindler!"
Among the officers at the county public security bureau happened to be Xu Fei, the same officer who had brought Li Hao to the hospital that day and knew that Ye Weiwei had performed surgery on Li Hao and saved his life. Upon hearing Lin Xiafei's accusation, he immediately said coldly, "Comrade, what evidence do you have to say that Comrade Ye is a fraud? Without any evidence, this is slander!"
Lin Xiafei was furious that the police officer was actually siding with Ye Weiwei. "She cheated my dad out of two hundred yuan for a consultation. She took the money, so what else is she but a swindler?"
Xu Fei glanced at Lin Xiafei, then looked at Ye Weiwei: "Comrade Ye, what do you say?"
Ye Weiwei said calmly, "It was Old Master Lin who took the initiative to ask me to treat him, and he also paid the consultation fee voluntarily. I have a clear conscience."
Grandpa Lin immediately said, "What Dr. Ye said is true. I asked her to treat my leg. This leg problem is old; every year the pain becomes unbearable, and I have to stay in the hospital for several months. Many people in the hospital know this. I asked Dr. Ye to treat my leg because I saw that her medical skills are superb. Dr. Ye just gave me acupuncture once, and I feel that it is very effective; it doesn't hurt as much anymore. Dr. Ye is truly skilled; she is definitely not a fraud!"
"Dad!" Lin Xiafei was furious when she saw that Old Master Lin was defending Ye Weiwei so much. "What kind of spell did this little liar cast on you to make you speak up for her like this!"
Dean Xia was immediately displeased when he heard Lin Xiafei repeatedly calling her a fraud. "Miss, please watch your words! Comrade Ye is not a fraud. Her medical skills have been collectively recognized by the doctors in our hospital. They are absolutely genuine and without any exaggeration!"
When Brother Lin heard that Dean Xia was so protective of Ye Weiwei, he couldn't help but frown.
Just what is Ye Weiwei's background that makes Dean Xia side with her?
Seeing that his younger sister Lin Xiafei was about to say something more, Lin's older brother quickly pulled her back, then adopted a conciliatory attitude and said, "We were just too worried and didn't understand the situation beforehand, so we misunderstood Comrade Ye. But, wasn't the consultation fee that Comrade Ye just mentioned a bit too high? Two thousand yuan, isn't that an astronomical price?"
When Dean Xia and Xu Fei heard about the consultation fee of two thousand yuan, they couldn't help but gasp and looked at Ye Weiwei.
