Hearing such cries, Shu Jiaying was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. To avoid further misunderstandings, she had to explain, "This man isn't dead. I just pressed his acupoints and made him fall asleep. Everyone saw it. He was the one who tried to hit me first. If I hadn't pressed his acupoints to protect myself, I would have been the one who got beaten."
"Girl, did you really not kill this Wan'antang guy?"
"Absolutely not. If you still don't believe me, why not check his nose to see if he's breathing?"
Someone actually came forward and touched Guan Dazhu's philtrum.
"There's breathing... there's breathing!"
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Guan Dazhu was not dead. Although he was unconscious, everyone still blamed Guan Dazhu.
"Look at this guy, what a jerk! He's so tall and strong, how could he be so violent towards a little girl?"
"That's right. He even said he worked in a clinic. He has no sympathy at all, girl... It's a good thing you know that..."
There was an old lady who gestured for a long time but couldn't say a word. The person next to her immediately reminded her: "It's acupressure, auntie..."
"Yes, thank goodness you know how to press acupoints, otherwise you would have suffered a great loss today."
Shu Jiaying smiled disapprovingly and said modestly, "Actually, these are just the most basic introductory techniques. Traditional Chinese Medicine is vast and profound. Only those with compassion can reach the highest realm of saving lives. People like this who are only interested in profit are simply not suitable to stay in a clinic or pharmacy. Their snobbery will only make it even more difficult for ordinary people like us to afford medical treatment."
This remark immediately resonated with everyone.
"That's right... young lady, you're right. People who look down on others like this should be taught a lesson. Well done young lady. If anyone wants to embarrass you after this, I, an old man, will be the first to stand up and testify on your behalf. You definitely did it to protect yourself!"
"And me... I saw it all clearly from beginning to end at Wan'antang. It was the Wan'antang employee who was rude first and then made advances. He was no match for the girl and was knocked unconscious by her. He deserved it. If the girl is in trouble and needs a witness, I, Grandma Mo, am willing to stand up and testify on her behalf."
"Me too……"
"Me too!"
Shu Jiaying didn't expect that these strangers she met by chance were much warmer than the people in Guangming Village. She nodded to everyone with gratitude.
“Thank you everyone!”
The boss of Wan'antang, who rushed over after hearing the news, also heard what Shu Jiaying and the others said. He originally wanted to help his fellow, but he backed off.
After wiping his forehead with a sweat towel, the boss of Wan'antang had to apologize to Shu Jiaying when all the onlookers agreed with her.
"I'm sorry, young lady. It was my mismanagement that caused you to suffer in my shop. Please rest assured, young lady, I will discipline you strictly after you wake up. Such problems will never happen again in our pharmacy.
And... have any of you fellow villagers here considered visiting my shop for medical treatment? Today, I, Guan Wanshan, promise everyone that anyone who comes to my shop for a consultation today will receive a waiver of consultation fee and a 10% discount on medicine.
It was a good plan, but it seemed like the patients had lost interest in it. Some even said, "Forget it, Mr. Guan. We're heartbroken after what happened today. Besides, even with a 10% discount, your medicine is still more expensive than Zhenghetang. I'd better go to Zhenghetang."
