Portable Space: Little Miracle Doctor

Chapter 90 – Please bring Yan Xiaosi here

Initially, Ms. Li had no intention of letting go, but seeing Yan Shuqing repeatedly winking and hinting at her, she realized too late that the old master was angry. She quickly released Ge Dongshu’s robe in panic.

Ge Dongshu pulled back his robe, straightened it, and snorted coldly at Ms. Li. Clutching the silver and carrying his medicine box, he strode away.

Watching his figure disappear, Ms. Li was so angry that she couldn’t help but curse in her heart.

Damn it, the illness was not cured, and the broken silver coin was wasted.

While she resented Ge Dongshu, she also deeply hated Ms. Jiang.

Why didn’t the old woman just die of the illness?

Although she was angry in her heart, she dared not show it on her face.

Adjusting her sleeve, she walked in front of the old master, with her eyes downcast and asked: “Father, since Doctor Ge can’t cure mother’s illness, what should we do?”

Yan Shuqing took over Ms. Li’s words: “Grandfather, since grandma is like this, should we ask the servants to call Uncle and his family back from Daxing Town? Also, we need to send a servant to Xize County to inform my father and my elder brother.”

“Yes, yes, we need to send someone to Daxing Town to call back the second brother’s family.”

Ms. Li swiftly agreed with Yan Shuqing, silently calculating in her heart.

If the old woman really couldn’t make it this time, they needed to quickly call the second brother’s family back to handle the old woman’s funeral, to avoid the expenses falling on them.

Ms. Jiang, lying in bed, was even more irritated by the back and forth between Ms. Li and Yan Shuqing.

Did this mother and daughter want to call the second brother’s family back to hold her funeral? She was not dead yet.

“Woowoowoo…”

Thinking of this, her eyes were fixed on the old master, mumbling woowoo, but the old master couldn’t understand.

After some consideration, the old master felt that what Ms. Li and Yan Shuqing said made sense. Regardless of the outcome of his wife’s illness, they needed to send people to call back the eldest son and father, as well as the second brother’s family.

Just as he was about to order the servants, his mouth just moved, but before the words came out, Ms. Wang, mother of Tian Dazhuang, suddenly squeezed to the front of Ms. Jiang’s bed.

Ms. Wang took a look at the half-alive Ms. Jiang. They were from the same village, and she couldn’t bear it. After thinking for a while, she said to the old master: “Master Yan, there is another person in our village who can treat illnesses, and his medical skills are very good.”

Yan Xiaosi’s thin face appeared in her mind.

That rascal might be a bit unreliable, but his medical skills were indeed good. He cured her arm in no time, and the ointment he gave her was also very effective.

Ms Jiang was the older master’s lifelong companion. Master Yan didn’t want Ms. Jiang to pass away, leaving him alone in this world. He asked Ms. Wang, “Dazhuang’s mother, who are you talking about?”

Ms. Wang blurted out in response, “It’s Yan Xiaosi, who lives in the broken grass temple at the end of the village.”

Master Yan was first bewildered, then his face changed. Over the years, the orphans and widows of the third family have been living in the broken grass temple at the end of the village. If it weren’t for Ms. Wang’s mention at this moment, he would have almost forgotten that he had such a grandson. But this grandson somehow knew medical skills, which made him somewhat incredulous.

Master Yan was old and forgetful, nearly forgetting the few people in Yan’s third family. But Ms. Li always remembered.

She was worried that the old master would soften his heart for the sake of his deceased third son and bring back the widow and orphan of the third house.

The second family was already frustrating enough competing for the family property, if they brought the third family back, she would be driven to despair.

As soon as Ms. Wang’s words came out, she received a glare from Ms. Li. Ms. Li said, “Dazhuang’s mother, don’t be idle and talk nonsense here. Yan Xiaosi knows medicine! Humph, you might fool a three-year-old child. After this year, Yan Xiaosi will only be fifteen. How can a fifteen-year-old boy know medical skills? Moreover, my third brother died early, and no one guided that child. That child probably can’t even recognize a single character.”

Although most of the people present didn’t quite believe that Yan Xiaosi knew medicine, when Ms. Wang mentioned Yan Xiaosi, Ms. Li’s overreactive attitude caused the people present to sigh.

As an aunt, she so despised her own nephew.

The sighs around her made Yan Shuqing’s face somewhat unpleasant. She had worked hard to maintain a good reputation for so many years, and she didn’t want to be implicated by Ms. Li.

She frowned at Ms. Li, then looked at Ms. Wang, “Aunt Tian, how do you know that my cousin Yan Xiaosi knows medicine? If he really does, that’s great. My grandmother is in such a condition now, it would be perfect to ask him to take a look at her.”

Although she was very unwilling to have the third family involved in this matter, she had to consider her reputation, and she was afraid of angering the old master.

She said to invite Yan Xiaosi to come and see Ms. Jiang. With such a polite tone, she immediately won the admiration of the people present.

Indeed, as the young lady of the Yan family, she is generous and knowledgeable.

With such a granddaughter, a hint of satisfaction appeared in Master Yan’s eyes.

Looking at Yan Shuqing, who was dressed in pink, Ms. Wang’s face also showed a look of admiration.

If such a knowledgeable and beautiful girl could marry her son, it would be great. Unfortunately, she is the young lady of the Yan family, and all Ms. Wang could do is to think about it. “How did I know? Of course it’s because I personally witnessed Yan Xiaosi’s medical skills. That evening, I was cooking dinner in my kitchen. I accidentally slipped and fell to the ground, twisting my arm. It hurt so much that I was yelling. My arm was swelling. At that time, Yan Xiaosi happened to come to my house to find Dazhuang, and he cured my arm.”

Everyone in Shaoyao Village knew that Yan Xiaosi had a good relationship with Tian Dazhuang. They often visited each other. When Ms. Ms. Wang said this, half of the people present were willing to believe it, and deep down they hoped that Yan Xiaosi knew medicine.

Given Ms. Zhong’s honest and weak personality, she would certainly not dare to let Yan Xiaosi charge extra medical fees. If Yan Xiaosi really knew medicine, they wouldn’t have to spend extra money to go to Doctor Ge for treatment in the future. This would be a blessing for the villagers. Seeing that Old Master Yan stayed silent after hearing Ms. Ms. Wang’s words, someone began to persuade him, “Master Yan, Dazhuang’s mother has no reason to lie to you. Why not send a servant to the dilapidated temple at the end of the village? Yan Xiaosi is your own grandson. If he knows medicine and can cure the old lady, everyone would be overjoyed. Even if he doesn’t know medicine, he would not dare to prescribe medicine recklessly and harm the old lady.”

Ms. Wang quickly echoed the man’s words, nodding continuously at Master Yan, “Exactly, Master Yan, I have no reason to lie to you.”

While speaking, Ms. Wang was calculating in her heart. If her words helped raise Yan Xiaosi’s reputation, Ms. Zhong would surely be grateful to her. Then, it would be easier for her to propose a marriage for her son to the Yan family’s third house. 

Master Yan was thinking, his wife’s illness came so suddenly, he was afraid it was a serious illness. Going to the town or county to find a doctor might be too late. Even if he went to the town or county now, it would not be easy to find a doctor in this pitch-dark night. After thinking it through, he pointed to a servant and ordered, “You, go to the dilapidated temple at the end of the village right now and bring Yan Xiaosi here.”
