Chapter 363 The Clumsy Doctor
let mother put it on for you."Jade Lotus nodded eagerly. Everyone was praising how beautiful the hairpin looked on her head. Jade Lotus blushed with shyness and ran back to her room, embarrassed by a...Fang Jinshi pulled the quilt up and covered her head, her voice muffled from underneath.
"I'm going to sleep!"
“If I don't get some sleep, I won't have the energy to do anything tomorrow.”
"Sleep now."
With a smile, Zong Yu gently lifted her up and pulled her, along with the blanket, into his arms.
Fang Jinxiu took over this matter for the Li family, representing them in negotiations with He'an Tang.
On a bustling street, several people arrived at the entrance of He An Tang Clinic. Fang Jinshu took a quick glance at the clinic's sign. Such a grandly built clinic! It seemed that the Zhao family was far from ordinary wealthy.
If you have money, everything is fine. If she has money, she can rest assured and do whatever she wants without any worries. Bah! She's just doing business with the Zhao family!
Li Muhai saw Fang Jinshi standing at the door, not entering. He hurriedly asked.
"My lady, this is the place. Shall we go in"
He and An Tang are still running their business as usual, with people coming and going in the clinic. Making a scene here would disrupt their business and prevent them from making money. Who would be willing to pay compensation then
Besides, Fang Jinxiu always felt that something was amiss. The Zhao family's business was so large; they must have been entrenched in Luoshui City for many years.
If one relies solely on exorbitant medical fees to make a fortune, the people in town are not fools. Unlike other businesses, a clinic's reputation is crucial. If word of mouth spreads about bad service, very few people would come to see Dr. An's clinic for treatment.
But here everything is normal, and there are many people seeking medical attention, which shows that things like the Li family's incident don't happen often here.
Therefore, she couldn't recklessly make a big fuss out of it, like the Li family had done before, acting impulsively. Not only would she not get her cheated silver back, but she would also anger the Zhao family. Afterwards, in Luoshui City, she might not even have a place to stand.
"Not in a hurry," "Huh Going to see a doctor"
And Tang's business was still very good, with people queuing up to see a doctor. Fang Jinshu also took a number from the clerk as usual and followed the crowd at the back of the line waiting.
There were about five or six people in front. She gave them a quick glance and, judging from their appearances, figured out that these people all had minor ailments. These wouldn't be enough to test the skill of Dr. Andō.
This headache can be cured by an ordinary doctor.
But there was one person who was particularly strange. His face was pale, but his lips were incredibly dark, and his eyes were sunken with bruises. He walked very unsteadily, as if he were seriously ill and had also been poisoned.
The strange thing is, he's seriously ill and poisoned. How could he come to see a doctor on his own Patients like him are usually carried in.
Fang Jinxiu had been keeping an eye on this strange patient. She was right behind him, Zongyu by her side.
The couple exchanged a knowing glance. Zong Yu understood immediately and helped Fang Jinxiu keep an eye on their surroundings.
It turned out that the strange patient wasn't alone. Several people coming and going in the clinic had eye contact with the patient, suggesting they were likely part of the same group.
That's interesting.
It seems like there's already plenty of excitement happening without her needing to take action.
With the departure of three patients from the waiting line in front, Fang Jinshi's field of vision broadened considerably. Finally, she could clearly see the doctor sitting with An Tang.
A middle-aged man with a goatee, his clothes appeared simple at first glance, but the fabric was actually quite fine, thanks to Grandmother Mu.
During that time, while accompanying Mu's embroidery work, Fang Jinshu also got to know many kinds of fabrics. Even if she didn't know the names, she could roughly judge the value of a fabric by its color and texture.
The doctor's clothes Anding wore, at least cost two or three ounces of silver. Ordinary people couldn't afford such fine materials.
Is the doctor's fee for the clinic at Zhao's family this high
She had a gut feeling that this doctor wasn't a legitimate one.
"Your illness isn't a big deal. Take some ginseng back home and brew it into tea to replenish your energy. Drink it for two or three months and you'll be fine."
The patient across from the doctor looked embarrassed. "Doctor Zhong, ginseng is too expensive, I can't afford it,"
"I bought ten ginseng capsules from you a while ago, and it already cost our family half our savings. We drank them all in less than a month."
"Two or three months, how many ginseng pills does that require"
"Since my illness isn't serious, could you prescribe me some ordinary medicine"
The man known as Doctor Zhong shook his head. "To say your illness is nothing major means it doesn't currently pose a threat to your life," he said.
If you don't trust our reputation and that of Andong, and have questions about the prescription I've given you, you can go see someone else.led shyly, "This is the best piece of clothing in my wardrobe.
