Chapter 234 Stronger Than You
The male doctor's eyes darted around, and a chill began to creep down his spine.
He could argue back no matter what Lu Qingqing said or said, but in front of the Yellow Emperor Temple, she displayed the ancestral precepts of medical ethics that no one could refute!
He dared not admit any mistake, for no doctor could find fault with him.
He was utterly humiliated, his face flushed red with anger, and he felt like killing Lu Qingqing!
But I dare not.
The banner of his clinic was fluttering in front of the table, with four large characters written on it: "Ren Dao Medical Clinic," as if mocking him.
The entire room fell silent.
Lu Qingqing was not only cursing the male doctor, but also glancing at all the doctors present.
This includes Dr. Pang and the other doctors invited by the government.
They slowly read out the name of the clinic in front of their table in a sarcastic tone.
"Ren Dao Medical Clinic, Ji Sheng Tang, Pu Ji Tang, Wen Xin Medical Clinic, Si Zhen Medical Clinic... Sounds so nice, really nice."
I don't know which path of benevolence it is, what world it is helping, or what heart it is questioning.
The doctors present all felt ashamed, and some lowered their heads.
A group of doctors who had practiced medicine for many years, some even with white beards, were actually lectured by a female doctor who looked only a teenager.
They couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.
It's really embarrassing.
Even if someone was dissatisfied, they wouldn't dare to speak up at this moment.
The county magistrate and his entourage had been standing on the periphery listening, but they did not interrupt.
"Truly, she is a remarkable woman, as resilient as the pines and cypresses on the cliffs. No wonder..."
Magistrate Xu glanced at Ji Ruyan.
Perhaps it was the sunlight, but the young master's eyes shone brighter than sparks from a hammering iron.
Si Xi stood next to Ji Ruyan, muttering to himself: Every time, some clueless person bumps into his aunt, like an endless stream of bedbugs.
Where is the second junior brother?
The second junior brother, that little old man, didn't even come up to help.
Si Xi looked over at Doctor Pang, who was gesturing to him: pointing at Lu Qingqing and waving his hand.
Okay, so that means he's powerless?
You old geezer!
The magistrate had already come out of the temple, and everyone was now allowed to go in and offer incense; Lu Qingqing knew this as well.
However, she won't stop until she finishes dealing with the matter.
She then went to the herbal tea stall.
The six-year-old child couldn't understand what was being said; all he knew was that Lu Qingqing had hit someone.
She was completely different from the kind older sister who had taught them to sing and fed them earlier.
He was so frightened that he immediately hid behind his mother.
The woman selling herbal tea was illiterate and couldn't understand the reasoning behind her words.
Anyway, she was convinced that Lu Qingqing was bullying her because she was a relative of the county magistrate.
She's doing a good job at this free clinic, helping a respected doctor but instead helping that lowly slut!
If it weren't for the county magistrate's influence, she would have started cursing long ago!
At this moment, Lu Qingqing came here again, clearly looking to settle scores, so she asked with a sullen face, "What are you doing? Do you want to hit a little child?"
"I was too lazy to hit him, so I just told him that if he continues to be so ill-mannered, he'll get beaten up by someone sooner or later!"
"Who are you calling ill-mannered! Those shameless sluts are the ones who are ill-mannered! You're speaking up for those kinds of people, I don't know if you're..." The aunt didn't dare finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear.
Lu Qingqing thought this woman was also making a living outside and should understand the hardships and difficulties women face, but she never expected her brain to be covered in stinky rags.
"Your son ate one of my plums, pay me! Three coins."
"What three coins? That was a gift from you!"
"I already told you when I was teaching the nursery rhyme, children, that you should know manners, be grateful, and distinguish right from wrong. He agreed to it but then broke it. That's lying to me, Li Zi, and I have the right to take it back!"
"Who cares about those lousy plums? If I had known you were this kind of person, I wouldn't have taken them even if they were free. I would have said they would have dirtyed my son's stomach. You should give us money!"
"You want to bully us? I'm not afraid! Everyone's watching. You started this by bullying us over some dirty things. Let's call the magistrate to judge this!"
The woman had seen her share of people while running her stall, and she had chased away many hooligans and scoundrels. Now that she was in a bad mood, she didn't sound like a pushover.
Lu Qingqing picked up a bowl of tea: "The tea costs one coin, and the earthenware bowl is two coins. I'll use this to make up for it."
She threw it hard to the ground, where it landed with a thud at the old woman's feet.
The commotion was so great that it startled everyone.
The shattered pieces of the bowl bounced around, and people nearby quickly moved away.
"My bowl!" the auntie exclaimed, furious.
Her youngest son was also terrified and started crying loudly behind her.
Lu Qingqing said, "It's good that you cried, you'll remember it! Don't be so young and not be able to distinguish right from wrong."
"I'll beat you to death, you little slut! What female doctor? She's clearly that hussy's accomplice! I wonder how she managed to hook up with the magistrate..."
Magistrate Xu: "..."
That damn shrew!
"Young master, I'm coming over..." Gu Chengzhou was so angry that he wanted to teach the woman a lesson.
Ji Ruyan shook her head with a cold look in her eyes and didn't say anything.
It's most satisfying to teach someone a lesson yourself.
Lu Qingqing's specialty is teaching these shrewish women a lesson.
She wouldn't be afraid even if ten of them came.
As the woman lunged at Lu Qingqing, Lu Qingqing kicked her in the knee.
The woman immediately knelt down before Lu Qingqing.
"Oh my god, this is bullying! Look at us, a widow and her orphan, what did we do wrong to deserve this?"
This woman is very clever. She acted impulsively just now, but she came to her senses after being kicked to the ground.
Knowing that Lu Qingqing's identity was different, they began to manipulate public opinion.
"What kind of female doctor are you that you're standing up for a prostitute? She seduces other people's men; she's no good to begin with!"
If you treat someone like that, we respectable women will never dare to see you again, lest we also catch some kind of filthy disease!
When she said that, some women actually agreed, and their eyes showed disgust when they looked at Lu Qingqing.
This probably hit a nerve with some women.
The veiled woman, Red Pomegranate, wanted to tell Lu Qingqing not to get herself into trouble because of someone like her.
But she didn't dare go over, fearing that Lu Qingqing would be attacked even more severely.
Looking at Lu Qingqing's straight back, he was filled with gratitude and guilt.
No one has ever... ever defended people like them like this before.
As the surrounding chatter grew louder, Lu Qingqing gave a mocking smile.
"What's wrong with prostitutes? Do you think prostitutes are stealing your men? Isn't it your men who are being shameless, offering themselves up with money?"
People at least have to do business to make a living, but you men are just purely in heat!
If you think prostitutes are dirty, why don't you think you men are dirty?
"If you're so capable, cut off your men and see if he'll still act like a jerk!"
A well-dressed, wealthy woman angrily pointed at Lu Qingqing:
"You're so rude. What do you mean by constantly defending this kind of thing? Aren't you probably that kind of woman yourself?"
"Hey? Then why are you speaking up for that jerk? Do you envy men who can have affairs everywhere, regret being a woman in this life, and want to be a philanderer in the next? Can I assume that you are a philanderer by nature?"
"you--"
The wealthy woman clutched her chest in anger.
"What do you mean, 'what about me'? You're only good because you come from a good family. Do you think people would willingly go to places like that if your family didn't sell you? As a woman, don't you have any compassion? You can't even help someone get medical treatment. You're so nosy!"
Si Xi had been wanting to come and help, but unfortunately, he couldn't join in on any of the conversations!
No one can get a turn.
This became a duel between women.
"Pah! If I were sold to such a place, I would rather die than be defiled! Only those shameless sluts would be so shameless..." The noblewoman said with an air of superiority and disdain.
Lu Qingqing retorted, "Pah! You think you're so great just because you're dead? Your father with the broken leg, your sick mother, and your young brother will all starve to death along with you!"
Even prostitutes know to repay their parents' kindness, but you don't!
Those prostitutes are better than you!
You have no idea of human suffering, yet you have the nerve to talk about your fierce spirit. Anyone would say that.
"Or I could sell you there and see if you really did die in the accident?"
