"Young Master, your health seems a bit weak. Do you still wet the bed often?"
The doctor hired by the thugs pretended to take Jiang Yongqiang's pulse, shaking his head and saying something.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes!" Jiang Yongqiang nodded hurriedly and said, "Doctor, please save me! I've been having nightmares every night lately, and I'm terrified every day. How can I not wet the bed? You were able to tell at a glance, so you must be able to help me, right?"
"..." The doctor's lips twitched, a little embarrassed, and he didn't dare to tell the truth.
Although his medical skills weren't particularly advanced, his nose was still functional, and he had already detected Jiang Yongqiang's scent.
As for kidney deficiency?
He sold medicine along the way, and he could tell that one out of ten men had kidney deficiency, without a doubt.
Jiang Yongqiang regarded this doctor as a lifeline, crying and begging the doctor to prescribe medicine for him.
The doctor took several gourds of medicine from his medicine box and stuffed them into Jiang Yongqiang's hand. "These medicines are most effective for tonifying kidney deficiency. I guarantee that after you take them, you'll be full of energy. You could even have ten or eight concubines in one night without any problem. With concubines by your side, what nightmares could you possibly have at night?"
"Good, good! With these medicines, I'll be fine." Jiang Yongqiang looked at the medicine bottles and felt relieved.
The doctor smiled and said, "These medicines of mine are all of the best quality. They contain tiger bones from the mountains and dragons and birds from the sky. So much essence of heaven and earth is contained in this tiny pill, which is why it can strengthen the young master's bones and muscles. However, the price is naturally a bit high."
"How much do you want? Just go to the accounting office and get it! Curing my illness is more important than anything else." Jiang Yongqiang couldn't eat all day just thinking about the female ghost he dreamed about at night, the incredibly realistic feeling of her touch.
Now this doctor says he can cure his illness, and money is no object for Young Master Jiang.
"Young Master Jiang is indeed generous." The doctor knew immediately that this was a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, so he immediately asked for an exorbitant price: "My medicine is not expensive, only one hundred taels of silver per bottle."
"One hundred taels! That's so expensive?" Jiang Yongqiang's eyes widened.
He remembered that when Doctor Wang came yesterday, he only received five taels of silver.
I never expected this person would charge one hundred taels of silver for a single bottle of medicine!
"It's a bit expensive, but it can cure diseases, right?" The doctor smiled at him.
"..." Jiang Yongqiang looked at the six medicine bottles in front of him, gritted his teeth, and returned three bottles. "I only have three hundred taels of silver in my private stash! Take the money and get out of here. Don't you dare tell anyone about my condition. If anyone finds out that I wet the bed, I'll hold you responsible!"
"Of course, of course." The doctor was already overjoyed with the money and put the three bottles of medicine back into his medicine box.
He took the silver and left the Jiang family.
With money in hand and no longer needing to go hungry, the doctor found a wonton stall.
"Oh." The wonton stall owner said while skillfully cooking wontons, "Judging from your attire, you're a doctor? Were you also called to the Jiang family to treat the young master's bedwetting?"
"Oh?" The doctor was surprised. "How did you know?"
Just now, that young master told him not to go around talking about it.
I never expected that I would find out about this just by meeting someone casually.
The wonton stall owner smiled and told the doctor all the latest hot news in the city.
Recently, everyone in the county, young and old, has been living off the Jiang family's misfortunes.
The Jiang family usually relied on the henchmen they kept to act arrogantly and domineeringly. They not only preyed on the villagers, but they also bullied small merchants like them excessively.
Now I'm so unlucky.
Who wouldn't laugh at that?
Anyway, the wonton stall owner, who had no ability to be a saint, was quite happy.
"Cough cough..." The doctor quickly finished a bowl of wontons, left a few copper coins, and ran off with his medicine box.
This place is no place to stay!
Fortunately, he didn't even need to pack his bags; he ran quite fast.
...
With the Jiang family no longer causing trouble, and with shop assistants from the pharmacy across the street and servants from the Liu family coming to buy things, the Lin family's restaurant gradually became bustling and prosperous again.
The other families on the street, who were initially hesitant and afraid due to concerns about the Jiang family's power, have now forgotten their fear after hearing so many jokes about them.
The aroma of roasted sweet potato skin filled my nostrils, and I couldn't help but swallow hard. Then, without thinking, I grabbed a few coins and joined the queue.
The family business is gradually getting better, and the number of people queuing up has returned to what it used to be.
The street remains bustling.
It seems that Lin Wanyue is the only one without business.
She sat alone on a small stool, eating a bunch of newly harvested loquats.
The bright yellow loquats look incredibly tempting.
However, after painstakingly peeling the loquat and taking a bite of the flesh inside, Lin Wanyue's face scrunched up from the sourness.
Seeing Lin Wanyue like this, Liu Junlan quickly brought over a jar of candy and comforted her, saying, "Wanwan, don't worry. Time will tell. They don't know your abilities yet. Once they know how capable you are, the line will definitely be longer than this."
Undeterred, Lin Wanyue tried another loquat, but it was still so sour it made her scalp tingle.
"Hiss—uh-huh." She nodded, her little face all scrunched up.
The Lin family quickly sold out all the roasted sweet potato skins they had prepared and then took Lin Wanyue's hand and went home.
That evening, the three ghosts from the Lin family strolled over to the Jiang family's house again.
