Chapter 37 The Little Girl with Allergies
"Hey, Miaomiao, business has been good recently."
Following the direction of the voice, I saw Gu Yuan's mother holding her child at the door of the clinic.
"Sixth Lady, come in quickly."
Xu Miaomiao welcomed the woman in.
Gu Yuanniang teased her as they walked: "Your clinic has been talked about a lot among the people recently."
"They are just praising me, and I don't deserve it." Xu Miaomiao responded modestly.
"Don't be so modest. It was all thanks to you that day. I came here specially to thank you."
"You're too polite, Sixth Mother." Xu Miaomiao said as she helped Gu Yuanniang to sit down.
Gu Yuanniang lowered her voice, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said hesitantly: "That Chunhua didn't cause you any trouble, did he?"
Xu Miaomiao paused while holding the tea and responded, "I'm a doctor, why would she bother me?"
"Alas." Gu Yuanniang sighed, "It's my fault that I got you into trouble."
"You don't have to say that, Liu Niang."
As he spoke, Xu Miaomiao handed over the cup of tea in his hand.
The two of them exchanged greetings, but did not notice the person coming to the door.
"Where is Xu Miaomiao!"
The man was holding a little girl behind him and came to Xu Miaomiao's clinic angrily.
"What's wrong?"
Song Weiwei was about to step forward when Xu Miaomiao pulled her away. She stepped forward to ask, but the man saw that she was not friendly.
"How dare you ask?" the man said as he pushed the girl behind him forward. The red marks on the girl's face were obvious, and she looked a little scary because of the excessive congestion.
Xu Miaomiao searched carefully in her memory and remembered that this girl had seen a doctor here a few days ago.
At that time, I took his pulse and found that he just had some skin allergy. According to her prescription, this shouldn't have happened.
Xu Miaomiao wanted to go forward to check on the girl's condition but was pushed away by the man. Xu Miaomiao took two steps back unsteadily.
"How dare you look at me like that? My daughter is like this because she took the medicine you prescribed. You have to give me an explanation!"
The man's loud scolding attracted the crowd at the door. Seeing the girl's red cheeks, they pointed at Xu Miaomiao.
"My dear, don't worry, there must be a misunderstanding."
Gu Yuanniang on the side stepped forward and spoke. She believed Xu Miaomiao, so there must be another hidden story behind this matter.
Unexpectedly, the man pushed Gu Yuanniang away and said mercilessly: "My daughter was harmed like this, you have to give me an explanation. She is a girl and you want her to marry someone else in the future!"
"If this is a problem of our Jishiditang, I will take full responsibility." Xu Miaomiao stepped forward and said, "But now, if you don't let me feel your pulse, how can I know if you have accidentally ingested any medicinal herbs?"
"Don't let her quibble, this is her problem!"
Xiao Si, who was watching the fun outside the door, responded. Xu Miaomiao saw with sharp eyes that he was someone from Zhang Zhang's clinic.
The man's mind, which had been somewhat shaken, became firm again: "That's right, don't touch my daughter again, what if something happens again!"
"If anything goes wrong, I, Xu Miaomiao, will be fully responsible!"
The powerful voice echoed throughout the clinic. The man was suddenly speechless and pulled the little girl forward tremblingly.
As soon as Xu Miaomiao's fingertips touched the girl's pulse, his brows unconsciously frowned.
"Have you eaten anything in the last few days that you don't normally eat?"
As soon as Xu Miaomiao opened her mouth to ask, she was scolded by the man next to her: "What else? My daughter always eats at home. I might be able to make excuses now."
The girl lowered her head slightly, with a look of grievance on her red face.
Xu Miaomiao squatted down and looked at the girl and asked softly: "Only if you tell me can I save you."
After a long while, a childish voice resounded throughout the clinic: "I ate it. An uncle gave me a sweet-scented osmanthus cake, but my parents didn't let me eat it, so I didn't dare to tell them."
Hearing this, the man got angry and grabbed the little girl and started beating her: "You didn't listen. Eating too much sweet-scented osmanthus cake will damage your teeth. I don't usually allow you to eat it, but you actually ate it secretly."
“That’s enough!”
Xu Miaomiao scolded this farce and then explained: "It should be that you are allergic to osmanthus. You must not eat it again in the future. I will prescribe some medicine for free. You should be careful when you go back."
"Hehe." The man changed his expression, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said awkwardly: "Thank you, Madam Xu, thank you, Madam Xu."
After saying that, he hurried away with the little girl.
Xu Miaomiao also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miao Miao, you don't think that what happened just now was really a coincidence, right?"
Gu Yuanniang at the side asked.
Xu Miaomiao was a little puzzled and asked, "Sixth Lady, do you mean someone deliberately framed you?"
Gu Yuanniang did not comment: "This girl cannot eat osmanthus flowers. Obviously her family knows it. How could they deliberately blame it on your medicine?"
Xu Miaomiao's eyes darkened. She had thought of this just now, but because she was concerned about the girl's face, she didn't think about it carefully.
Now it seems to be the case, someone did it on purpose.
"Okay, it's getting late." Gu Yuanniang slowly stood up while holding the child: "I'm leaving first, Miaomiao, be careful."
"Thank you for the reminder, Liu Niang."
Xu Miaomiao expressed her gratitude, and as soon as the woman left, Xu Miaomiao took Xiaobao and hurried to find Song Weiwei.
"What's wrong?"
Song Weiwei was sorting medicine books in the back hall. When she saw Xu Miaomiao rushing over, she was a little surprised for a moment.
"Don't do it."
Xu Miaomiao took the booklet from her hand and put it aside, looking at her anxiously and said, "Someone might have set their sights on our Jishidiang. Take Xiaobao back first and don't come over today."
"Xu Miaomiao, what do you mean?"
Song Weiwei threw her hands in anger and looked at Xu Miaomiao with dissatisfaction: "What do you mean by this? When we encounter a problem, you ask us to leave quickly and you stay to solve it by yourself!"
"I'm doing this for your own good." Xu Miaomiao explained, "If anything really happens, I don't want you to get hurt."
"I don't care." Song Weiwei turned her head away angrily: "Since we are a family and have opened a clinic together, we must stay together if we want to leave!"
Xu Miaomiao shook her head helplessly, laughed, and looked at Xiaobao beside her: "It doesn't matter if we take the responsibility, but we must protect Xiaobao's safety."
Song Weiwei's brows relaxed and she looked at Xiaobao with some hesitation.
(Mother, Xiaobao won’t leave. Xiaobao wants to stay too.)
Xiaobao gestured with his fingers and looked at Xu Miaomiao with an aggrieved expression.
Xu Miaomiao touched her little head distressedly and explained: "My dear little darling, let your aunt take you back first. It will be inconvenient for your mother to handle it if you are here."
The little boy looked at Xu Miaomiao hesitantly, then slowly walked to Song Weiwei and pulled her sleeve.
"Then be careful on your own. I'll come right over after I drop him off."
Xu Miaomiao nodded, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Song Weiwei leaving.
The two men drove the ox cart farther and farther away, and Xu Miaomiao hurried back to the clinic.
The storm is about to come, and there is another purpose for sending them away. In order to prevent any mistakes, I have to put some precious medicinal materials into the space first.
