Chapter 667: Chapter 667: Then What Should We Do?
Yunyi has an exceptionally good memory; one look and she knows who this prescription was meant for.
Traditional Chinese Medicine differs from Western Medicine; it emphasizes individual prescriptions because everyone’s constitution is different. Even for the same ailment, the prescriptions vary.
This prescription was previously given by Yunyi to Zhuang Haijuan: "Indeed, this is a prescription I wrote."
Upon hearing Yunyi’s words, the woman raised her voice: "See, you admit it, don’t you?"
Yunyi held the prescription high: "But this prescription wasn’t given to your daughter-in-law. Tell me, where did this prescription come from?"
The woman’s face was full of guilt: "You already admitted that you wrote this prescription, so that’s enough. Why ask so many questions?"
Seeing that the woman intended to dodge her questions, Yunyi couldn’t help but retort: "Traditional Chinese Medicine isn’t like Western Medicine. Even if the prescriptions for the same ailment are mostly similar, there will always be differences due to constitutional differences. And amongst my patients, your daughter-in-law isn’t one of them. Are you trying to swindle me?"
The teasing glint in her eyes startled the few troublemakers. The woman grew a bit flustered: "No, Doctor Chu, we’re not here to swindle you. It’s just hard for us to come to the city. We went to the Workers’ Hospital first thing this morning, but the nurse said you’re off today, so we came here."
After speaking, she felt a bit embarrassed: "Just take what I said before as nonsense and don’t take it to heart."
Yunyi didn’t expect the woman to switch her tone so quickly: "Where did you get this prescription?"
The woman, a bit embarrassed, said: "I got it from my sister-in-law’s daughter-in-law. She got pregnant after taking this medication. I thought since my daughter-in-law has been married almost two years without any news, she could try it too."
Yunyi glanced at the prescription’s date, then looked at the young woman next to the older woman: "This prescription doesn’t suit your daughter-in-law’s condition. Even if she takes it forever, there won’t be any movement in her stomach."
The woman widened her eyes: "What should we do then?"
She coughed lightly: "I’m off today. If you trust me, bring your daughter-in-law to the Workers’ Hospital another day. If not, just pretend I never said anything."
She handed the prescription back: "It’s up to you."
As she spoke, she was ready to shut the door. The woman quickly reached out to stop her: "It’s not easy for us to come to the city. You have nothing to do now, so take a look at my daughter-in-law to save us another trip."
Although Yunyi was now clear-headed, she wasn’t a saint. She couldn’t possibly check the young woman’s pulse now; if she started down that path, she’d never have peace. The people in the Tubular Building would all mimic her, bringing their relatives to her home.
Yunyi glanced down the corridor at people busy in the hallway and those poking their heads out of their doors to watch. Everyone was listening intently: "If everyone was like you, things would be chaotic, and there would be no need for hospitals, right?"
After speaking, she shut the door directly.
While walking to the bed, Yunyi used her spiritual power to glance at the three outside. The anticipated angry outburst didn’t happen. The woman, her expression conflicted for some time, looked at her daughter-in-law’s belly: "Fine, in that case, we’ll come back tomorrow."
She glanced grudgingly at Yunyi’s door, muttering: "If I weren’t worried she’d refuse to treat us properly afterward, I wouldn’t have let it go like this."
