The woman looked a little hesitant: "How about I stay here, in case there's anything I need help with..."
"No need." Qin Zhao said calmly, "Just wait for me outside."
"But……"
The woman wanted to say something else, but her husband pulled her out of the house.
Mrs. Chen said, "I'm going out too. I'll be waiting outside the door. Just tell me if you need anything."
Qin Zhao thought for a moment and said, "There is indeed a favor I need your help with."
"...Are the medicine residues from the past few days still there?"
The door was closed, and the old lady on the bed had a pale face and looked even worse than when she had seen her a few days ago.
Qin Zhao placed the fish basket on the small table beside the bed and sat beside the bed to take her pulse.
The little koi poked its head out of the fish basket, its tail swaying gently and unconsciously behind it.
As soon as Qin Zhao mentioned the medicinal residue, he guessed the reason.
Someone must have tampered with the medicine.
He bet on a meal of braised pork.
.
Qin Zhao stayed in the house from noon to afternoon.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, the door of the main house was opened.
Qin Zhao didn't look well, his lips slightly pale. As he walked out of the room, Mrs. Chen immediately came up to him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qin Zhao didn't answer, but asked, "Where are the medicine residues?"
"Here!" Chen Yan'an came up carrying a bamboo basket filled with medicinal residue. "The ones from the past few days have all been poured out. This is what's left over from yesterday and today."
Qin Zhao searched among the medicine residue for a while and asked, "Who got this medicine?"
"I." Chen Laosan stepped forward, noticed Qin Zhao's expression, and said, "Don't slander me. I followed the prescription you gave me exactly!"
Qin Zhao: "But the prescription I gave you doesn't include Chuanxiong."
"Chuan...Chuan what?" Chen Laosan didn't hear clearly, but realized something and argued loudly, "I don't know what you are talking about. I just followed your prescription!"
Qin Zhao explained, "Chuanxiong has the effects of promoting qi and relieving depression, promoting blood circulation and relieving pain, and it is indeed suitable for Mrs. Chen. However, this medicine is extremely potent and is not suitable for patients with chronic illnesses or spleen and kidney yin deficiency."
"Besides, there's too much Chuanxiong in this medicinal residue."
Mrs. Chen said, "So, my mother is really because..."
Qin Zhao nodded.
Mrs. Chen shouted angrily: "Chen Laosan, what the hell is going on?!"
"I don't know, I really don't know!" Chen Laosan said, "The medicine these days was made by the fourth son's wife. Why don't you ask her? Her brother is still an apprentice in the town's medical clinic!"
Everyone started arguing and went to question the fourth son's wife. The frail woman was surrounded by people and said nothing. She started crying first.
Qin Zhao looked at all this indifferently and shook his head.
The answer is self-evident.
As the sky gradually darkened, in the main house, Chen Yanan wiped the face of the elderly woman in bed and asked, "Can my grandma wake up?"
Qin Zhao leaned back in the chair beside him, pressing his brow wearily. "She's suffering from a strong medicine that has aggravated her blood stasis. I've already used acupuncture to open up her meridians. As long as she wakes up, she'll be fine. But whether she can wake up depends on luck."
Chen Yanan threw the handkerchief into the basin and rubbed his face: "My fourth aunt wants to divide the family."
Qin Zhao: "I know."
"It's not just her. Everyone wants to split up." Chen Yan'an said, "My mother, my third uncle, and my fourth aunt all want to stop living here and don't want to devote their energy to taking care of my grandma."
