Chapter 148: Everyone’s Favorite

“Then, can this be cured?” Auntie Liu asked.

“Massage the acupoint 1-2 times a week and accompany it with acupuncture treatment and you should recover within half a year. Even if you aren’t completely cured, you won’t suffer pain every time it rains,” Yu Gangan replied.

“Thank you so much,” Auntie Liu said gratefully before she turned to look at Mother Chen, “Old Chen, where did you find this treasure? If my old condition is cured, I will thank you properly.”

As she played mahjong, Mother Chen smiled and said, “Remember how my son used to own a store on Nanzhen Street? Xiao Yu and her grandfather have a clinic there. Who in Nanzhen Street doesn’t know that the two of them are good people with good skills? Back when I broke my leg, everyone told me there would be persistent problems. Look at how good I am now. I’m not afraid of anything.”

“Mother Chen, that’s because you took good care of yourself. That’s why no problems remained,” Yu Gangan said shyly.

Mother Chen overpraised Yu Gangan so much that she felt a little embarrassed.

After all, she was just a normal doctor.

Mother Chen watched as Yu Gangan sat down quietly after diagnosing the woman. Her expression was a little troubled and embarrassed.

So, she helped her speak up, “Have you guys heard about the incident with Zhu Si’s family?”

The deceased husband of the middle-aged woman that was outside Yu Gangan’s clinic, was Zhu Si.

Auntie Liu who was no longer playing mahjong felt her bottom wasn’t so painful anymore, so she immediately focused on being nosy instead, “I know about it. It was quite a big incident. Supposedly, he died after taking medicine prescribed by an immoral doctor.”

Auntie Huang picked up a mahjong tile and sighed, “He’s quite pitiful. Zhu Si wasn’t even 60 and his kids weren’t married yet.”

Mother Chen threw out a tile and said, “Isn’t Chinese medicine quite mild? How could a couple of doses kill a person? There must have been a problem.”

“Really?” Auntie Huang asked.

Before Mother Chen said anything, Auntie Zhang suddenly said, “That’s possible.”

She then lowered her volume and said secretively, “Zhu Si’s family lives next door to me. He was recently diagnosed with heart disease and discovered his son wasn’t actually his. I bet he died from anger. This morning, his daughter left home furiously and was blaming her mother for killing her father. She also said that her brother wasn’t her real brother and that her father’s medical compensation should go to her and her grandmother and her mother and brother didn’t deserve a cent. I’m afraid it wasn’t medical malpractice.”

Yu Gangan was surprised to hear this.

Mother Chen felt bad for Yu Gangan, so she slammed her hands on the table and said, “I knew they were bullying our Xiao Yu because she’s such an honest child.”

The aunties immediately looked at Mother Chen in surprise, “Was Xiao Yu that doctor?”

“I didn’t prescribe the medicine; I wasn’t at the clinic during those few days. My cousin was watching it and she prescribed it. One of the prescriptions were a little stronger, but the rest were mild. Logically speaking, it couldn’t have caused a death,” Yu Gangan explained.

When Auntie Liu thought about the way that Yu Gangan diagnosed her, she immediately sided with her, “Taking Chinese medicine isn’t like lying on an operation table. How could a person die from it? It’s obvious that they’re trying to scam money from you.”

Mother Chen looked at Auntie Zhang and said, “We need to expose them. I’m sure your home has cameras at the entrance. You must have recorded something. Can you ask your son to make a copy for us?”

On the side, Yu Gangan looked at Auntie Zhang with hope, “Can you? Can you help me, Auntie Zhang?”
