Chapter 359: Not a Stomach Ailment, but Poisoning
our savings"Fang Jinxiu wasn't that easily fooled, though."What kind of family fortune The clan has been run by you and Grandma for so many years, controlling all the possessions in the house, even a...As Li Yuanchun drank water, he kept his eyes closed the whole time, afraid that he would vomit on his mother the next second.
Fang Jinshui stood calmly aside, watching the water in the bowl run out. Li Da's mother couldn't have been happier. Her son had been sick for so long, and this was the first time he had drunk so much water without throwing it up.
The mother and son saw hope and joy in each other's faces. Now they were sure that Fang Jinshi was indeed a skilled doctor. Li Daniu was so excited that she even wanted to kneel down to her, fortunately Fang Jinshi was quick-witted and stopped her.
"Li Daniu, I saved you all for my own reasons. You don't have to be like this."
Li Daniu misunderstood Fang Jinshu's meaning, thinking that her purpose was to see the price and wanted to put it half a month earlier. She could confidently pat her chest and say that as long as her son was cured, money wouldn't be a problem.
Although Li's family had some savings from running their small business for so many years, they were scammed out of it by An Tang, that quack doctor, recently.
Li Daniu's hands were nervously twisting, and her expression was somewhat embarrassed.
“Madam Zong, regarding this medical fee, could you please grant us some leeway”
To cure this strange ailment afflicting our son, we've emptied our life savings. Now, we simply don't have the money to pay the consultation fees.
Fang Jinshi saw that Li Daniu had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained.
"Auntie, you misunderstood. I'm not asking for money."
"I can cure your son's illness, what I said refers to other matters."
When Li's aunt heard this, she let out a big sigh of relief. She hadn't expected the customers brought in by the stall owner who was treating dead horses like live ones to actually have the ability to cure her son's illness.
Finally, heaven has shown mercy and sent them such a noble person.
Mrs. Li readily agreed, "Very good, very good. As long as Madam Zong can cure my son, I will agree to anything you ask."
Li Yuanchun recovered a little of his spirits, seeing that his mother, for his illness, didn't ask anything clearly and just casually agreed to such an important matter from others. He felt somewhat uneasy in his heart.
He raised his head to look at Fang Jinshu and the other, "You, you... what other things are you referring to"
"Our family is just an ordinary commoner's household in the city. My mother can't even recognize a few characters, so she can't help you much."
Fang Jinshu saw Li Yuanchun's unease. To the Li family, they were strangers, and it was completely understandable to be wary and uneasy.
"Don't worry, we are just ordinary civilians. We won't ask you to do anything illegal or beyond your capabilities."
"We're new here and not very familiar with the city. You guys are locals and must know it better than us. We just want you to give us a little introduction so we don't get into any trouble. That's all."
Upon hearing this, the Li family was instantly relieved.
Li Yuanchun completely let go of his worries, and his attitude towards them afterwards relaxed a lot.
"To be honest, Young Mistress Zong's medical skills are truly miraculous. That nauseating feeling has been with me ever since I fell ill."
"After these three injections, that nauseating feeling completely disappeared."
"I feel like my spirits have lifted a bit, and my mind feels much lighter than it has in ages."
Fang Jinshi smiled but said nothing, it was all thanks to the Lingquan water.
Those three injections were only a temporary relief for his stomach discomfort.
After examining Li Yuanchun's pulse, Fang Jinxiu frowned slightly. Seeing her expression wasn't good, Li Dajiao asked with concern.
"How are you, Miss Zong You said you could heal it, didn't you"
"Could it be that my son's stomach ailment truly has no cure"
Fang Jinshu withdrew her hand, her face somewhat solemn. "Who said he had a stomach ailment"
Li Daniu's face was full of surprise, and she subconsciously said, "I told Dr. Andang."
Fang Jinshi was a little angry. She hadn't expected that even a doctor's clinic in a county town could have such an incompetent quack.
"Your son doesn't have a stomach ailment at all, he has liver poisoning."
The moment these words were spoken, the three people present were all stunned into silence.
Just then, Li Muhai returned and heard Fang Jinshu's diagnosis. He was furious and rushed over.
"What did you just say My son doesn't have a stomach ailment, he's poisoned"
Li Yuanchun's face bore a striking resemblance to the man before him, so he must be Li Dajiao's husband.
"If Uncle Li doesn't believe me, you can bring your son's medicine residue here. I'll do an experiment for you right away."
Li Muhǎi waved his hand dismissively, "No need to test, I believe in you."
"This bunch of scoundrels, I'm going to report them to the authorities!".They are just ordinary people. Who would stand up for them and fight for their justiceAfter careful consideration, Fang Jinshi understood why the Li couple trusted her, a stranger, so much.Because sh...
