"Dr. Li, you're finally back! Something happened at the clinic."
The master and his apprentice had just returned to the village when they encountered Gao Xiuzhi, who was in a hurry.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiyue quickly took Xu Baiwei back to the clinic. On the way, Gao Xiuzhi explained the general situation, and Li Xiyue understood the gist of it.
"Weiwei, your master will give you another good lesson today."
Xu Baiwei didn't understand; her mind was in complete turmoil, but she still nodded.
The clinic was crowded with people, and a man's cursing voice could be heard through the crowd: "A mere teenager with no medical qualifications, what right does she have to prescribe medicine? Now she's making my wife's condition worse and worse. Captain, Party Secretary, I demand compensation from Dr. Li. If she refuses, I'll call the police!"
"Dr. Li is back!" Gao Xiuzhi called out, and the crowd immediately parted to make way.
Xu Guoqiang and Uncle Xu were about to say something when they saw her return, but Li Xiyue smiled and comforted them, "Don't worry, I'll handle it."
Li Xiyue looked at the man who had just been shouting that he would call the police, and recognized him as Aunt Wu's man, named Wang Shitou.
Upon seeing Xu Baiwei beside Li Xiyue, Wang Shitou immediately exclaimed, "It was this little girl who prescribed the medicine for my wife, almost killing her! Dr. Li, since she's your apprentice, you have to take responsibility for this, right?"
“I didn’t write a prescription or get the medicine; the medicine was prepared by my master. I just gave it to Aunt Wu,” Xu Baiwei explained.
Wang Shitou said, "Either you caught it or you took the wrong thing. I don't care. Anyway, my wife got sick from eating it, so you have to give us an explanation. Considering we're all from the same brigade, I won't make things difficult for you. Just compensate us 100 yuan, and we'll call it even."
One hundred dollars?
Everyone gasped in shock.
Wang Cuihua and Liu Qingju exchanged a glance. If this guy could get a hundred yuan from Li Xiyue, they would hand over their positions as troublemakers to him!
Li Xiyue's lips curled up slightly. This man was really asking for a lot. "Uncle, don't worry. If it really was a mistake made by our clinic, we will take full responsibility."
Wang Shitou was delighted. These two, master and apprentice, were both young girls who seemed easy to manage.
It seems like this hand is in the bag.
"Aunt Wu, you've been getting medicine from me for a while now, and there's never been a problem. May I ask what's wrong?" Li Xiyue walked up to Aunt Wu, who was sitting on a stool, and asked.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Li Xiyue's face, making her skin appear even whiter and her features even more exquisite.
She remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic, a stark contrast to Xu Baiwei, who was completely flustered beside her.
Xu Baiwei was only twelve years old, and it was her first time encountering something like this, so it was understandable that she was nervous and scared.
Aunt Wu replied weakly, "I took the medicine back yesterday and was fine, but after taking one dose today, I felt dizzy, lightheaded, had diarrhea, and vomited."
She was treated for breast nodules by Li Xiyue. She had several nodules on her chest, and the pain was unbearable during her period.
However, her family's financial situation was not good, and she took the medicine intermittently. She had been taking the medicine for a year, but the nodules had all disappeared.
Yesterday she came to pick up the last three days' worth of medication to consolidate her recovery; she can stop taking it after she finishes those.
Seeing that her complexion was indeed very bad and didn't seem to be faking it, Li Xiyue took her pulse and found that it was caused by an imbalance in her spleen and stomach due to consuming a large amount of cold foods. She asked, "Did you bring the dregs of the medicine?"
Wang Shitou handed her a package, saying, "It's here."
This is evidence of extortion, so of course he'll bring it with him.
Li Xiyue took the document, opened it, and frowned as she looked at it.
"Yueyue?" Uncle Xu, who had been silent all along, came over to ask when he saw Li Xiyue frowning.
Li Xiyue handed him the medicine, and Uncle Xu took it and examined it, also discovering the problem.
The grandfather and granddaughter exchanged a glance, and Li Xiyue looked at Wang Shitou, "Uncle, do you know any herbs?"
"I don't recognize it, what's wrong?" Wang Shitou asked, puzzled.
Li Xiyue didn't answer, and then asked Aunt Wu, "What about you, Auntie?"
