"Tsk tsk tsk, where did such a big, bullying dog come from? Why isn't anyone chasing it away?"
He Jiuniang crossed her arms and immediately retorted.
Pan Yi was enjoying his rant when he was suddenly called a bullying dog. His anger flared even more, but when he turned around, he saw a beautiful woman and was speechless.
He wasn't sure if the beautiful woman had said those words; after all, how could such a pretty young lady say something like that?
"Which bastard just said that? Step forward and show yourself!"
Pan Yi looked past He Jiu Niang and glanced to the side, unwilling to misunderstand such a beautiful young woman.
He Jiuniang sneered and said rudely, "What, are you blind or deaf, or are you just pretending to be annoying?"
The exact same voice, the exact same disdainful tone—it really came from this beautiful young woman in front of me!
Pan Yi was stunned, and then he was furious. He couldn't bear to blame his wife, so how could she scold him like that?
"Who are you? I'm here to cause trouble for the clinic, what are you doing here? Get out of here, I don't bother with women!"
He turned his head away impatiently. It wasn't that he didn't care about arguing with women, but rather that he didn't care about arguing with pretty women.
Upon hearing this, someone nearby burst out laughing: "So this is the Dr. He you've been looking for!"
"What?"
He looked at He Jiuniang in disbelief. Was this the female doctor?
He thought she was an older middle-aged woman, but she turned out to be a delicate young lady.
"Are you really that female doctor?"
"Otherwise what?"
He Jiuniang retorted, her tone unfriendly: "Is it so great that your relative is an official? It's not like you are the official, so what's there to brag about? You're a grown man who doesn't even have an official position of your own, and you just know how to use other people's names to show off. Do you think that's strange?"
Pan Yi was speechless after being rebuked, and glared at He Jiu Niang, baring his teeth in anger.
People around laughed when they saw this, and some even agreed that it was absolutely right.
Doctor Song whispered a reminder to He Jiuniang: "This family has more than one relative who is an official..."
He Jiuniang shouted, "So what? Which family doesn't have an official in it?"
Everyone gasped in surprise and began to whisper among themselves: "Doctor He has an official in his family? What kind of official position? We're so curious!"
"Yes, I've never heard Dr. He mention her family background before!"
"No wonder Dr. He doesn't take this young master Pan seriously at all. It turns out his family is powerful. This young master Pan has really bitten off more than he can chew today!"
...
Ignoring the surrounding chatter, He Jiuniang continued, "You said your wife's reputation is ruined because she was treated by a male doctor. Does that mean all the men who have come to me for treatment these days don't need to live? Don't they all care about their reputations?"
The translator retorted, "Men don't care about reputation. If we're talking about reputation, then it's about you..."
"What? What's the difference between men and women? Why do men not care about their reputation while women have to suffer because of it? Aren't men and women both two eyes, one mouth, two nostrils, and two legs? Do you have three nostrils?"
"Doctor Song is an experienced imperial physician who came from the palace. He has a great reputation in Jingzhou City. How can you be allowed to disrespect him?"
He Jiuniang changed to a pose with her hands on her hips, indicating that she was ready to continue arguing to the very end.
The people around had already burst into laughter when He Jiuniang said that Pan Yi had three nostrils, and they didn't care at all whether his family was really powerful or not.
Yes, why should men be free from all constraints, while women have to live for their reputation?
There are so few female doctors in this world. If there were no female doctors, would women only be able to live and die from illness without being able to seek medical treatment?
Who made these rules?
Pan Yi was furious at her sharp tongue and, no longer caring whether she was a beautiful young woman or not, decided to take action when he couldn't win an argument with her.
But as soon as Pan Yi raised his hand, He Jiuniang grabbed his wrist and exerted force, causing Pan Yi's face to turn pale instantly.
"Ouch! Ouch! Let me go!"
Another burst of laughter erupted around him, mocking him for being a coward and no match for the delicate young lady.
"Do you still dare to make a move?"
He Jiuniang asked calmly, and Pan Yi shook his head repeatedly: "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare, let's talk this out, let's talk this out!"
Seeing that he gave in so quickly, He Jiuniang didn't say anything more and simply let go.
Who knew that Pan Yi was someone who never learned his lesson? As soon as he was freed, he started cursing: "You say you have officials in your family? You're kidding me! If you had officials in your family, how could you be allowed to show your face in public? You would have been drowned in a pig cage long ago!"
These words directly angered He Jiuniang, who was slapped without any warning, and before she could react, she was slapped again.
"You...you...I didn't lay a hand on you, why did you hit me?"
Pan Yi covered his swollen face, his eyes filled with grievance.
"If you want to drown Dr. He in a pig cage, who else should we beat if not you?"
The young apprentice boldly retorted, "Dr. He is such a good person. Not only is she a skilled doctor herself, but she is also willing to teach us medicine. She is a truly virtuous person. You are not allowed to be so disrespectful to her!"
"That's right! Doctor He has saved so many people from the brink of death at his clinic. You should be the one to be drowned in a pig cage!"
"Dr. He did a great job!"
Pan Yi was so scolded that he didn't dare to talk back, and could only point at He Jiu Niang and say threateningly: "You, you just wait!"
If he had only said that, it would have been fine, but after he turned around, He Jiuniang could still hear him cursing and swearing. His words were very vulgar and harsh. He Jiuniang grabbed a board from the side and smashed it on his head.
"If you're not happy, you can find someone to back you up. I'm always ready. Watch your mouth, or I'll force you to teach me myself."
When He Jiuniang spoke, there was even a hint of amusement in her tone, as if in her eyes, Pan Yi was just a joke.
Pan Yi ran away in a panic, and the others clapped and cheered.
"Dr. He is truly a heroine among women!"
"This kind of person should be treated like this! Always bullying others by relying on their power, they really think they're something special!"
"But Dr. He, you've offended this person. He'll definitely retaliate against you in the future. You have to be careful!"
...
Hearing these words of concern, He Jiuniang felt much better and patiently explained, "Thank you all for speaking up for me. As you all know, I only treat difficult and complicated cases because they are more difficult to treat. Other doctors may not be able to solve them, and they may not be cured in a short period of time. I have to spend a lot of time seeing patients and treating them. In the past few days, a group of my patients have been getting better, so I wanted to go home to see my family and children. Therefore, I am not seeing patients who need long-term treatment recently."
"That young master Pan just now, his wife doesn't have any serious illness, she just needs to see a doctor to ensure a safe pregnancy. Any doctor in our clinic can treat such symptoms, so I turned him down. I didn't expect this guy to come to the clinic and cause trouble."
"I'm putting my words out here today. Anyone who wants to cause trouble, feel free to come. I'm not afraid of you. But think carefully before you start causing trouble. If you cause trouble even once, Yuyuantang will refuse to see anyone in your family who needs medical treatment."
The next chapter will be a little later, and there might be an extra chapter, but it will be late at night. You can read it tomorrow, no need to wait. Thank you, my darlings.
