Because Sha Zhu's medical examination report was abnormal, Yi Zhonghai, Yan Jiecheng, and others went to the hospital for medical examinations and found that they all had problems to varying degrees.
"Zhu Zi, is there something wrong with your prescription?" Yi Zhonghai asked Sha Zhu uncertainly.
He initially got the prescription from Sha Zhu because he saw that Sha Zhu had a good effect after using it and that Qin Huairu would call him for several hours every night. He then got the prescription from Sha Zhu and prepared the medicine according to the prescription.
Later, Yi Zhonghai tried it, and it was indeed quite effective. The young man, who was already experiencing a midlife crisis, was full of energy after drinking the medicine, causing the older woman to beg him to stop. Yi Zhonghai continued drinking it for quite some time, until this incident occurred.
"Uncle, this prescription was found for me by Huai Ru. He said it's an exclusive secret recipe from an old doctor in the village, and he doesn't usually share it with anyone. Everyone has been using it and it's been working fine, so you can't blame me for every problem that arises, can you?" Sha Zhu said aggrievedly.
To be honest, he personally tested the medicine before giving it to others, and he didn't charge them a single penny when giving the prescription. Now that there's a small problem, everyone is coming to him, and he feels it's unfair.
"Shazhu, did you bring the prescription? There are doctors in this hospital, let's go see one," Yan Jiecheng said.
“Yes, show it to the doctor. If it’s a problem with your prescription, then you’ll have to take responsibility. If it’s not a problem with the prescription, then we’ll clear your name,” the male neighbor said.
Sha Zhu thought about it and realized that the only way to clear his name was through an expert. Fortunately, because the prescription was effective, he kept it on his person as a safekeeping item.
When the group arrived at the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, they saw an old doctor with a white beard and a sage-like demeanor, so they went inside.
"Expert, we have a prescription here, but we don't know how effective it will be. Could you please take a look?" Yi Zhonghai took the lead.
"Hehe, I'm already this old, and someone still comes to test me. Fine, let me see it." The old expert thought the visitor didn't trust him and wanted to test him with the prescription first.
The old Chinese medicine doctor glanced at the prescription, then looked at Sha Zhu with his eyes, then looked at the prescription carefully again, and then looked at Sha Zhu again.
After a few back-and-forth movements, Sha Zhu was starting to feel overwhelmed, as if he were a suspect awaiting sentencing.
"Old expert, is there a problem with this prescription?" Sha Zhu asked.
"You're asking me if I have any problems? Do you really think I've been doing this for nothing all these years? If you don't believe me or traditional Chinese medicine, you can just turn right and go to the Western medicine department. There's no need to insult us here." The old TCM doctor was so angry that his beard stood on end.
"No, I was just asking if there was a problem, why are you so angry? Do you really not know how to read it?" Sha Zhu's stubborn temper flared up after being scolded by the old man.
"Heh, you're testing me with medicine prescribed by a veterinarian? Isn't that an insult to me?" The old man slammed his fist on the table in anger.
"What? A veterinarian prescribed this medicine? Explain yourself! How can it be a veterinarian's medicine? It's clearly for treating men's...things. If you can't explain yourself clearly today, I'm really going to smash up your clinic."
Upon hearing the word "veterinarian," Sha Zhu panicked and, disregarding the old expert's age, grabbed him by the collar and dragged him up.
"Isn't this just a drug used to induce estrus in boars for breeding? Any doctor could recognize it, only the dosage is a little smaller."
After being pulled up by Sha Zhu, the old Chinese medicine doctor immediately blurted out what he had been holding back. But his words struck everyone in the courtyard like a thunderbolt.
Then, the old Chinese medicine doctor slowly explained. It turned out that boars, because they needed to mate with many sows, often couldn't keep up in terms of ability or interest, so someone with a purpose developed this miraculous medicine.
This medicine can make even retired boars stand up. In rural areas, almost every veterinarian knows this trick, and their prescriptions are basically the same as the veterinarian's, only with a few different drugs and slightly different dosages.
"It's for aphrodisiac boars? No wonder it works so well. You idiot, do you think we're pigs?"
The crowd surrounded Sha Zhu and started cursing at him, almost beating him up on the spot. Even Yi Zhonghai, who always considered Sha Zhu his primary caregiver, couldn't hold back and angrily cursed Sha Zhu's deceased mother.
"No, even though it's for pigs, it works quite well for humans, doesn't it? I saw you all looking so energetic and cocky the other day," Sha Zhu retorted.
"Young man, this medicine is fine for a small amount, but in the long run, the human kidneys, with their limited capacity, definitely can't handle it, and it will damage the body," the old expert explained.
In the end, the old Chinese medicine doctor prescribed some herbal medicine for everyone to regulate their bodies. Of course, all the money was paid by Yi Zhonghai; Sha Zhu couldn't contribute a single penny.
When everyone returned to the courtyard house, Xu Damao was playing with his children in the front yard. Seeing that each person had a packet of traditional Chinese medicine, Xu Damao wondered if this was a perk from the hospital.
"Xu Damao, don't look at us like that. You exercise just as much as we do every night, you'd better go to the hospital for a checkup." Sha Zhu seemed to see the contempt in Xu Damao's eyes and immediately retorted.
"Hehe, don't worry, I'm different from you. I already have two children, and I'm about to have three. What problems could I possibly have?" Xu Damao said.
Xu Damao knew best whether there was a problem or not. His talent was a combination of innate gifts and acquired skills, and only Wang Minzhi knew how powerful that was.
"Don't try to show off here. I heard you're going to deal with Fang Hu, how come that kid is still free?"
Perhaps feeling that he couldn't match Xu Damao's physical fitness, Sha Zhu started talking about things at work. He had been beaten up by Fang Hu, so he was very concerned about the recent events in the security department. Seeing Fang Hu standing at the gate every day made him uncomfortable.
"Heh, that's because you didn't pursue it back then. To be honest, if you, the victim, don't pursue it, then when we talk about dealing with others, it's not very effective. How about this, you rewrite the complaint now, and I guarantee I can deal with Fang Hu properly right away," Xu Damao said sarcastically.
Upon hearing that he needed to step in, Sha Zhu immediately fell silent. He dared to confront the people in the courtyard, the neighbors outside, and even the local thugs head-on.
But when facing Ma Dabao, he was genuinely guilty. The way Ma Dabao looked at him seemed like he could dig a hole and bury him at any moment; it was a fear hidden deep in his heart.
"I just didn't want things to escalate. We're all colleagues, so let's be forgiving, right?" Sha Zhu still managed to save face for himself.
Although Xu Damao outwardly criticizes Sha Zhu, he is actually very concerned about the progress of the disciplinary department's handling of Fang Hu's case.
