Chapter 32: Opening of the Clinic
"Is mother really going to open a family clinic?"
Erbao sat behind the ox cart and looked at Xu Miaomiao and asked puzzledly.
Xu Miaomiao nodded: "Mother went to take care of the store today, and it will be open in five days."
"Mom is so awesome!" Erbao looked at Xu Miaomiao with admiration.
The decoration of the store was kept secret for the past two days. When Xu Miaomiao returned home in the evening, Song Wushao was already asleep.
Xu Miaomiao just arrived home today by ox cart. After coaxing her second baby to sleep, she saw that the light in the main house was still on. When she entered the house, she saw Song Wushao sitting in a chair, concentrating on reading a book.
Perhaps because Xu Miaomiao made a loud noise when she pushed the door, Song Wushao looked up at her curiously.
The two looked at each other in silence.
"You, haven't slept yet?"
Xu Miaomiao tilted her head to break the awkwardness first, and looked at the man in confusion.
Song Wu Shao nodded and hummed softly.
After he finished speaking, the air was filled with an awkward atmosphere, or perhaps it was only Xu Miaomiao who felt awkward.
"Well, the weather has been getting colder recently, so remember to wear more clothes."
Xu Miaomiao reminded him, but Song Wushao still nodded lightly.
She was busy with store business these past two days and had no energy to care about Song Wushao. As soon as Xu Miaomiao lay on the bed and touched the pillow, she fell into a deep sleep.
Song Wu Shao looked downcast and a little dim as he stared at Xu Miaomiao for a long time without being able to come back to his senses.
“Dangdangdang—”
Early in the morning, Xu Miaomiao knocked on Song Weiwei's door.
As the door opened, a woman wearing a pink veil and a bamboo hat slowly walked out.
Seeing her appearance, Xu Miaomiao frowned and took the hat off her head.
Song Weiwei was startled, and quickly pulled up her sleeves to cover her face, and spoke with a stuttering tone: "You, what are you doing."
Xu Miaomiao took down her hand that was covering her face and said in a serious tone: "You didn't do anything wrong, why are you covering your face?"
"That day, many people saw me being bought into a brothel by Xu Shan..."
Xu Miaomiao felt a pang in her heart, and she took Song Weiwei's hand and whispered to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, that thing is over, no one will hurt you anymore."
Looking at Xu Miaomiao's determined eyes, Song Weiwei nodded slowly.
Follow Xu Miaomiao and get on the ox cart.
The two soon arrived at the clinic, where the tall plaque was covered with a red cloth.
Xu Miaomiao and Song Weiwei each pulled a corner of the red cloth to tear it off. Xu Miaomiao looked at the gongs and drums and shouted to the street: "Everyone, our Jishidi Hall is having a show today. I hope you can spread the word."
After saying that, Xu Miaomiao bowed, and Song Weiwei followed suit.
"Ah, isn't this allowed, my lady?"
Mother Zhang was going to buy rouge and powder for the girls in the building. When she passed by and saw a shop open, she looked over curiously, but she didn't expect it to be Xu Miaomiao.
When she saw it was her, Zhang's mother followed the others and shouted, "This Madam Xu is amazing. My old headache was cured by her. If you have any discomfort in the future, please come to her."
Xu Miaomiao bowed and thanked her: "Thank you, Madam Zhang."
Mother Zhang took Xu Miaomiao's hand and walked to the side and whispered, "Madam Xu, my headache comes back again. You have to take a look at it for me."
"Okay, please come in, ma'am." As she said that, Xu Miaomiao made a gesture of invitation.
Song Weiwei, who was cleaning, was so scared when she saw the woman that she dropped her broom and curled up in a corner, sobbing quietly.
"Oh, it's that lady from last time." Mother Zhang said in surprise, then turned to look at Xu Miaomiao with some guilt: "I was sorry for what happened last time, I didn't know that was Mrs. Xu's family."
"Mother Zhang, in consideration of my treating you, can you please promise me one thing?"
Xu Miaomiao helped Song Weiwei up from the corner and said to the woman while looking at her.
"Madam, please speak."
"If you meet a woman who is not willing to be bought to a brothel in the future, and the buyer can't produce proof of identity, please don't take her in anymore, report her to the police."
"this"
The woman hesitated and pinched the silk cloth in her hand, then looked at Song Weiwei's trembling appearance and said with a determined heart: "Okay, I can't control other places, but the girls in my courtyard will be voluntary in the future."
Xu Miaomiao patted Song Weiwei's hand to thank the woman and comfort her: "It's not your fault that you were bought there. Think about it, you also saved a lot of people."
Song Weiwei raised her head hesitantly, her eyes full of mist, and looked at Mother Zhang cautiously, leaning forward slightly: "Thank you."
"Oh, don't worry about thanking me."
Mother Zhang took Xu Miaomiao and walked towards the treatment room: "Madam Xu, my headache comes back again. You have to take a good look at me."
"Where is the doctor?"
The man held his stomach and stumbled towards the clinic. When he saw that there was no one in front of him, he shouted loudly.
"Who?"
Song Weiwei lifted the curtain and walked over, only to see a familiar red face struggling and rolling on the ground.
Her pupils instantly dilated and her whole body began to tremble unconsciously. Song Weiwei collapsed to the ground and wanted to scream but no sound came out.
The man on the ground was still struggling towards her, blood still coming out of his mouth: "Help, save me."
Song Weiwei stepped back step by step, her lower back pressed tightly against the wall, not daring to move.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Miaomiao finished giving Mother Zhang the injection in the room and hurried out.
Song Weiwei was seen staring at the fainted man in horror, and was so frightened that she couldn't move.
Xu Miaomiao plucked up the courage to step forward and turned the man who had fallen to the ground over. A familiar face made her feel a chill all over her body.
"Xu Shan?"
Xu Miaomiao was a little surprised, but still helped him to the chair.
The man's lips were black and bloody, and his pulse was very weak.
Xu Miaomiao didn't have time to think, so she fed him an antidote pill before starting to take his pulse.
As soon as she put her finger on the pulse, Xu Miaomiao was shocked. She had given Xu Shan Duanchang Powder but the dosage was not much, so the pain would only last for two days at most. But now there were still traces of Mafei Powder in Xu Shan's body. The mixture of the two medicines would make people angry and possibly even endanger their lives.
Xu Miaomiao quickly took out the acupuncture needle and inserted it into Xu Shan's head. Although Xu Shan was a bad man, his crimes still had to be handled by the government.
After the injection, blood was still oozing out of Xu Shan's body. Xu Miaomiao took a closer look and found that Xu Shan only had six of his original ten fingers. The thumbs and little fingers of both hands had been cut off and only some simple bandages were done, which were still oozing blood.
After tearing off his clothes, Xu Miaomiao widened her eyes. There were three or five knife marks on Xu Shan's chest, and his arms were also covered with dense scars. He must have been scratched by something sharp.
Xu Miaomiao frowned and quickly took out the medicine box to start treating him.
Song Weiwei, who was supposed to be helping out, is now hiding aside, shivering, glancing in the direction of Xu Shan from time to time.
"Weiwei, help me get the scissors."
The beads of sweat on his forehead were about to drip down his nose. Xu Miaomiao had no time to wipe them away and spoke to Song Weiwei without even raising her head.
