"Director Gu? Gu Shiya?" Su Wantang suddenly stood up.
Miao Qiaoling paused in her haste to leave, then turned her head and asked, "Wantang, do you two know each other?"
It really is her.
Su Wantang slowly sat down and said softly, "We've met a few times, but we're not very familiar."
"Wantang, she's the doctor I hired for Yingying. Would you like to meet her?"
"No, thank you."
"Director Gu is here, he might have something to say. Second Aunt, go and check on him quickly. I'll prepare some things here so I can give Cousin Yingying acupuncture and medicine in a little while."
"good."
Miao Qiaoling turned and left.
"Director Gu, what's going on...?"
"Yingying's family, as I told you before, Western medicine alone cannot cure Yingying's illness. I recently met a woman who knows traditional Chinese medicine, and I was hoping to connect with her so she could help treat Yingying..."
Gu Shiya paused for a moment: "I'm a little inconvenient right now, but she owns a pharmacy near the market. You can go directly to the store to find her."
"Near the vegetable market? Is her name Su Wantang?" Miao Qiaoling stood up, her expression excited.
"You two know each other?" Gu Shiya asked in surprise.
Hearing this, what else could Miao Qiaoling not understand?
It's just one person.
Feeling a little lighter, she forced a smile and said, "To be honest, it's quite a coincidence. She's my aunt's daughter-in-law, and she's currently treating Yingying in the house."
Gu Shiya was taken aback.
Her father lives nearby. Today, her older sister and her family went back to their parents' home. Unable to bear the questioning, and still thinking about this matter, they came to visit and say hello.
"Could you please pass on a few words to Wan Tang for me?"
Miao Qiaoling sensed something strange.
Didn't Wan Tang say they weren't familiar with each other? Why is Director Gu having to deliver the message himself?
But she didn't refuse: "Okay."
When Miao Qiaoling entered the room again, Su Wantang was administering acupuncture to Wen Yingying, so she did not disturb her.
After Su Wantang finished collecting the needles, she said, "Second Aunt, I won't write the prescription. I'll go back to the shop later and write it up and bring it over."
"How can this be? How can I let you spend money?" Miao Qiaoling disagreed.
“It’s not an expense. The medicinal herbs in my shop have been carefully processed, making them more effective. This way, my cousin Yingying will recover faster.”
Miao Qiaoling couldn't refuse this, but she turned to Uncle Wen and said a few words.
"Wantang, Director Gu just asked me to pass on a few words to you."
"What?" Su Wantang was stunned.
"She said that she had promised someone to tell you about that matter, but she couldn't. However, she told you not to worry and that Fu Jing would come to the pharmacy to find you on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year and explain those old stories to you."
Around four or five in the afternoon, Su Wantang, Wen Wanqing, and the other three left the Wen family home.
Before leaving, Miao Qiaoling gave Su Wantang a thick red envelope, which Su Wantang accepted with Wen Wanqing's tacit approval.
Back home, Wen Wanqing pulled Su Wantang into the house.
"Wantang, we were at your maternal grandfather's house just now, and there were a lot of people there, so it wasn't appropriate for me to ask. Can you tell me, how did Yingying suddenly get a sexually transmitted disease? She's still a perfectly healthy young woman who hasn't gotten married yet!"
To be honest, Su Wantang was also shocked when she felt the pulse.
Syphilis is generally transmitted through mother-to-child transmission, sexual contact, and blood transmission.
If we rule out the first two, that leaves blood transmission, but even blood is not something that ordinary people can easily come into contact with.
Moreover, Wen Wanqing was the doctor Yu Manfan found, and Su Wantang had a feeling that something was fishy going on.
Yu Manfan had already received the punishment she deserved. Su Wantang didn't want Wen Wanqing to feel guilty or remorseful about the matter, so she changed the subject after only a few words.
Time flies, and it's already the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
Su Wantang arrived at the pharmacy early to prepare for the opening.
After cleaning up with Zhou Yu and the others, they sat down to rest for a while half an hour later. Just as they were about to go upstairs to make some new medicine, an annoying voice came from behind them.
"Cousin, your pharmacy isn't doing so well!" Liu Cuicui linked arms with Song Wanying, fanning herself against her nose. "It's not that I'm criticizing you, but with all this dust, who would want to come?"
Before Su Wantang could finish speaking, an older woman pushed aside the two people blocking the doorway.
"What are you doing standing at the door, twisting your waist like that? This is a pharmacy, not a brothel. Who are you trying to impress by showing off your sex appeal? Get out of my way, don't delay me from buying medicine for my grandson."
"Comrade Xiao Zhou, I'd like to buy a few packets of cold medicine."
Zhou Yu replied loudly, "Okay, that's one cent in total. Take it and go."
Xia Bao crossed her arms and asked, "Auntie, does your face hurt?"
"Who are you calling 'auntie'?" Liu Cuicui asked, her face turning ashen.
"Whoever answers should call out, since they're just asking for trouble."
Song Wanying couldn't stand anyone talking to Liu Cuicui like that, and immediately stepped in to protect her: "You're just an employee, what right do you have to speak like that? Apologize to Cuicui! Otherwise, you'll be fired!"
"Hey, who are you? You look ridiculous. You think you're some kind of appetizer? No way, I don't like it."
Song Wanying's fingertips trembled with anger as she turned her ire on Su Wantang: "Su Wantang, is this how you let your people in the shop talk to Mom?"
"Mom?" Xia Bao's eyes widened. She quietly retreated behind Su Wantang, pointed at Song Wanying, and said with some uncertainty, "Cousin-in-law, are you trying to extort money from me?"
"almost."
Su Wantang stepped forward, glanced at Song Wanying, and said infuriatingly, "My mother is dead."
They actually cursed her to die!
"You unfilial daughter!" Song Wanying raised her arm and slapped Su Wantang across the face.
Su Wantang wouldn't let Song Wanying slap her. She grabbed Song Wanying's wrist and said, "Song Wanying, I have something on you. You don't know your place and you still dare to hang around in front of me. Do you think life outside is too comfortable?"
She leaned closer and lowered her voice: "So, you want to go to jail?"
Song Wanying's pupils contracted sharply, and her shoulders trembled uncontrollably. Su Wantang scoffed and flung her away, causing her to stumble.
"roll."
The force was a bit too strong, and Liu Cuicui was also pulled back two steps. After regaining her senses, she touched her lower abdomen with lingering fear and said angrily, "Su Wantang, I know you are jealous of me, but how could you be so vicious? Trying to get rid of the child in my belly!"
"Your discord with Lu Huai'an is not my fault."
Xia Bao leaned in and said, "You're shameless, and you actually dare to dream like that? My cousin and his wife have a great relationship, and they're even having their wedding ceremony in a couple of days!"
"A wedding? How is that possible?" Liu Cuicui was astonished.
"Look at you, never had a wedding?" Xia Bao clicked her tongue twice. "You've had a illicit affair without a matchmaker, and you're already pregnant when you enter the house. You're really shameless."
"You're shameless!" Liu Cuicui's face turned pale and then green after Xia Bao's words. "I...I'm getting married soon too."
"Look at how guilty you are. Stop pretending to be something you're not. You're already fat, getting any fatter will make you unappetizing."
Unable to argue with Xia Bao, Liu Cuicui became furious and raised her arm. Xia Bao swiftly brought his face close: "Hit me? You try hitting me! I'm weak. If I hit you, I'll faint. If I faint, my mom will call the police. You won't get away."
