Chapter 36: A Clinic That Hurts People
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The system sensed that Bai Jiang was very stingy and stopped speaking.
Hei Zi didn’t know if it understood Bai Jiang’s words, but it let out a low growl.
Bai Jiang didn’t think about the system anymore.
She suddenly noticed that Bai Zhen had been disappearing every morning for several days. She didn’t know where to find her even when she wanted to.
She could only see Bai Zhen during mealtime.
One day, Bai Jiang couldn’t help but ask, “Why have you been leaving early and coming back late recently? I can’t find you anywhere.”
“Huh?” Bai Zhen looked confused.
After a moment, she finally understood Bai Jiang’s meaning and scratched her head awkwardly. Her situation was different from her brother’s, and she couldn’t tell her mother that she had found her brother.
These past few days, she had been going to the river to play with her brother.
According to her brother’s description, their father was a monster.
Considering her mother’s love for her brother, her mother would do anything to gain custody of him.
But given her mother’s circumstances, she might not even be able to keep custody of Bai Zhen.
Thinking about this, Bai Zhen felt anxious.
“I’m asking you a question, why aren’t you answering?” Bai Jiang frowned.
“I was thinking, when did Mommy notice that I’ve been leaving early and coming back late? Is my disguise that bad?” Bai Zhen asked.
Upon hearing Bai Zhen’s question, Bai Jiang rolled her eyes.
Bai Zhen’s so-called disguise was simply putting a pillow under the blanket. Could that even be considered a disguise? It was easy to see through, right?
“What goes on in your little head? Can those things be considered disguises?” Bai Jiang asked.
“But I thought that was a disguise.” Bai Zhen answered earnestly.
“Alright, think about it at home. I’m going out first,” Bai Jiang said with a smile.
Bai Zhen heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Bai Jiang, who had successfully changed the topic and left.
Bai Zhen ate breakfast and went to the river.
At this time, Xiao Yu was already waiting by the river. When he saw Bai Zhen coming over, his eyes curved with a smile.
“Brother, let’s start switching today,” Bai Zhen said with a smile.
“Brother, look at me imitating you. Do I look like you?” Bai Zhen intentionally put on a serious face.
“Yes,” Xiao Yu replied.
Bai Zhen became even happier. “Then, brother, quickly imitate me and see if you look like me?”
Xiao Yu’s face turned red, and after a long while, he said, “I don’t want to.”
When Bai Zhen heard that, she was dumbfounded. She had thought of many possibilities and was also thinking of how to correct her brother, but she did not expect this stupid brother to say that he did not want to learn.
“But, brother, don’t you miss mommy? Mommy has been searching for you for so many years, and I have been searching for you for a long time too. And both of us are sick. I have mommy’s treatment. Don’t you want Mommy to help you?”
“I do,” Xiao Yu replied succinctly.
But he just didn’t want to learn. He couldn’t learn it.
Gou Sheng, who was nearby, spoke up, “Why do you have to learn? Since Bei Bei is sick, you should just pretend to be more seriously ill. It’s normal not to talk when you’re feeling unwell.”
“That way, your mommy will naturally take you to see a doctor,” Gou Sheng said.
Bai Zhen’s eyes brightened upon hearing this. Yes, why didn’t she think of such a clever solution?
After exchanging clothes with Xiao Yu, Bai Zhen happily ran towards the villa on the other side of the river.
At this moment, Bai Jiang was unaware that Bai Zhen and Xiao Yu had switched places. Or rather, Bai Jiang didn’t even know that Xiao Yu was right beside her.
She was currently overseeing the construction halfway up the mountain. Although the pharmacy hadn’t been built yet, the simple Chinese medicine clinic had been tidied up.
Because she has been busy these days, she hasn’t had time to help people with consultations, and more and more people in the village sought her medical advice.
After considering it, she decided to start consulting today.
Bai Jiang spread the news that the clinic was open. She had already established some connections over the past few days, so it was easy to spread the news.
Just as Bai Jiang sat down on the chair, a patient arrived. It was an old man who sat across from her. Before he could describe his symptoms, another person rushed over.
“Dad! Why did you come to this harmful clinic? I’ve already told you if you want to see a doctor, go to the town. How can you come to this harmful clinic?”
Bai Jiang’s smiling face instantly faded.
She didn’t mind if he didn’t want to seek medical treatment from her, but why did he call that her clinic was harmful to people?
