Feng Qiaoer glanced at Old Man Feng with disdain. She said perfunctorily, "I don't have any money on me right now. I'll bring it to you later."
"Daughter, please don't lie to me. Ahem... If you don't give me the money, I'm really going to die of illness."
“Alright, alright…”
Feng Qiaoer didn't want to stay at home for a moment at this moment, so she left home in annoyance.
When Shu Jiaying heard Feng Qiaoer coming out of the house, she quickly hid in the corner.
Feng Qiaoer was in a hurry to leave, so she didn't pay any attention to the situation around her. She was afraid that Old Man Feng would chase her and ask for money, so she ran out of the street.
Shu Jiaying knew that Feng Qiaoer would never come back given her personality, so she came to Old Man Feng's house again.
Outside the door, listening to the continuous coughing, Shu Jiaying politely knocked on the open door.
Hearing the knock on the door, Old Man Feng dragged his frail body out of the house.
When Old Man Feng saw Shu Jiaying in pink, he didn't recognize her at first. He subconsciously thought that the person who came to his house was Guan Yaoer, the female doctor from Wan'antang, because Guan Yaoer also liked to cover her face with a silk scarf when she was seeing patients.
Old Man Feng greeted with a look of surprise: "Female doctor, why are you here?"
Female doctor?
Shu Jiaying was stunned at first. She looked at her outfit again and realized that she seemed to be wearing the same clothes as Guan Yaoer.
However, Shu Jiaying didn't correct him. She just smiled and said, "I heard the coughing from far away outside the door. Old man, if you are so sick, why don't you go to the hospital for a checkup?"
"well……"
Old Man Feng shook his head in pain. He complained, "It's all my fault for raising such an unfilial daughter. Look, she's already back home, but when she saw how sick I was, she didn't even ask me for money, let alone give me any money. She just ran away. I really raised her in vain."
Shu Jiaying knew about the conflict between Old Man Feng and Feng Qiaoer, so she deliberately provoked them: "You raised your daughter so well, and now that you're sick, it's really wrong for her to ignore you."
"That's right. I helped her hide so many shameful things. If this unworthy girl ever angers me, I'll expose all her secrets and ruin her reputation. Humph!"
Thinking of the sudden appearance of the 'female doctor', Old Man Feng asked again: "Female doctor, aren't you in Wan'an Hall? How come you are here?"
"hehe……"
Shu Jiaying smiled awkwardly.
"It's nothing. There are many doctors in Wan'antang now, so I don't have to go out to see patients. So I wanted to go out for a walk to see if there are any neighbors who need my help. When I walked here, I heard your cough from a distance. I wanted to come in right away, but I..."
Shu Jiaying pointed outside the door and said with feigned embarrassment, "I accidentally overheard your conversation with your daughter just now, and then I saw your daughter run away, so I took the liberty to come knocking on the door."
"So that's how it is. The female healer must have heard that my daughter refused to pay me for medical treatment. Sigh... I've really made a fool of myself by letting the female healer see me. But then again, I'm penniless now, so I really don't dare ask you to see me!"
Shu Jiaying immediately smiled generously and said, "We're all old neighbors in town. It's very polite of you to say this, old man. Please hold out your hand so I can feel your pulse!"
