ly grabbed him, "You go sleep in our room. At least there's a straw mat and bedding on the bed, so you'll be more comfortable."Just like Zong Yu's bed and Zong Bai's, it was just bare wooden planks wi...The proprietress saw Fang Jinxiu's face was pleasant and her tone of voice seemed kind as well, so she opened her mouth and spoke.
"Just now, I heard this brother talking about stomach ailments, he seemed to know a lot. This old woman just wanted to ask, is the young lady a skilled doctor"
The proprietress, just out of curiosity, asked him. To her surprise, Fang Jinshu actually nodded in agreement.
"You're right, granny. I do know a little bit about traditional Chinese medicine."
Fang Jinshu swallowed the wontons in her mouth, and when the old lady heard this, she happily sat down across from her table, not intending to attend to business anymore.
Now it was Fang Jinshi's turn to be puzzled and curious, she exchanged glances with Zong Yu.
"Great, Luoshui City finally has a doctor again."
"May I ask your esteemed lady's surname"
Fan Jinshu gently suppressed her curiosity and replied, "His family name is Zong."
Before Jinxiu could even speak, the street vendor woman eagerly jumped in.
"Mistress Zong, I know you must be curious why I was so excited upon seeing someone with medical skills. It's truly, truly a difficult story to tell."
The old woman suddenly lowered her voice and whispered, "The doctors in our Luoshui City aren't very skilled. They collude with Zhao Family, the biggest medicinal herb dealer in town, and sell fake medicine to our people!"
The old woman's words really surprised Fang Jinshu. She was just looking for the largest medicinal herb dealers in Luoshui City, as only wealthy families could afford the good medicine she had on hand.
But at this moment, the news doesn't seem to be in her favor.
"Grandma, why do you say that"
"If you sell fake medicine, how come the government doesn't care"
"Speaking of this old woman, I almost want to cry. "The officials didn't believe me at all. My son really has a stomach ailment. A month and a half ago, I took him to the Andang clinic for treatment."
"Andtang Medical Hall was opened by the Zhao family. The doctor inside was also hired at a high price by the Zhao family, and it is said that he is a renowned physician."
"Tsk! A quack doctor, a murderous charlatan!" The old woman's voice trembled with anger.
Fāng Jǐnxiù hurriedly soothed her, "Don't get excited, what happened later"
Even if Dr. Ando's skills weren't good enough to cure her son, this woman shouldn't just believe strangers right away.
"Later, of course, my son's stomach ailment wasn't cured. And I also spent a lot of money with them and Ando on seeing a doctor for my son's illness. We even put in all our savings."
"We thought about it carefully, and the match doesn't feel right. Nobody else would spend this much money just for a stomach ailment."
We'd just go confront the Anding Hall, they won't admit their doctor is incompetent and selling counterfeit medicine. It would end up in court!
"The County Magistrate is indeed fair. He invited doctors from other medical halls in the city, and those doctors actually said that the prescription given by Doctor An was correct, and the herbs were also genuine."
"My son's illness is just too rare!"
"In the end, it all boils down to my son. I can't accept this, but without evidence, even the magistrate can't do anything about it. The lawsuit just has to be dropped."
I consulted many doctors privately and showed them the prescriptions from An Tang. They all said there was nothing wrong with them.
The old woman's voice rose with excitement as she spoke, "How could there be no problem! My son's stomach ailment would never get better if there were no problem! I asked them, what exactly is so rare about my son's illness But these doctors couldn't give me a straight answer!"
Now I don't trust any of the doctors in town.
After hearing the whole story, Fang Jinshui would objectively think that there must be something special about the nephew's illness that made it so difficult to cure.
But generally, when a doctor encounters complex or difficult cases, how could they treat it as an ordinary stomach ailment and prescribe medicine without being completely sure
This woman's words made her very concerned. The medicine for treating stomach ailments was surprisingly expensive, costing them their entire family fortune, even their life savings. While outsiders might not see it, Fang Jinshu had a gut feeling that this woman had probably been cheated.
No wonder she was so excited to see someone who wasn't a doctor from the city, probably she didn't trust any of the doctors in the city.
"Aunt, please don't get excited. How about I also take your son's pulse"
The old woman excitedly nodded in agreement. That's exactly what she meant! At a glance, these two looked like outsiders. They were definitely not from the same crowd as the doctors in town. If they too were helpless and couldn't find the problem with her son's stomach ailment, then their family would just have to accept their fate.
The old lady hurriedly packed up her stall and stopped doing business.
Zongyu frowned, "Wife, aren't you in a hurry"
Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "Didn't you just hear the old woman say that Zhao's family is the largest medicinal material merchant in the city Perhaps our medicinal materials already have a way out." near death, and he, a renowned doctor, couldn't let that happen! If someone died right in front of him, his reputation would be ruined.But if he were to save him, what ability does he haveI didn't re...
