Chapter 38: Bloodletting Therapy
Zhao Family.
Zhao Ya’s cousin, Zhao Hao Tian, frowned as he paced back and forth in the hall.
“Zhao Ya! That batch of hundred-year-old herbs is really important to me! Just give it to me! Can I at least buy it at market price?”
“No! Grandpa and I have already promised it to someone else! That batch of herbs cannot be disturbed!”
“Who did you promise it to? Who is so important that you would treat them this way?”
Zhao Hao Tian was somewhat bewildered, his brow nearly twisted into a knot.
Zhao Ya replied,
“Didn’t grandpa have a sudden health issue last time? He met a divine doctor, and that divine doctor helped him.”
“That divine doctor is coming to treat grandpa’s hidden ailment—this batch of herbs is for that divine doctor!”
“Divine doctor?”
Zhao Hao Tian was a bit surprised.
“What kind of divine doctor is so important to you? Which one?”
“Doctor Bai Chen!”
“Bai Chen? That name sounds somewhat familiar.”
Zhao Hao Tian stroked his chin in thought.
Just then, Zhao Ya’s phone lit up, and after reading it, her expression brightened.
“Doctor Bai is here!”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hao Tian furrowed his brow.
“Isn’t today also the day Doctor Pu comes to check on grandpa? Doctor Pu has always treated well! Why did you call in Doctor Bai? Don’t let yourself be fooled!”
Zhao Ya waved her hand dismissively.
“You’ll know when the time comes!”
Soon, Bai Chen was welcomed in by Zhao Ya.
Zhao Ya poured tea and water for Bai Chen, displaying great respect towards him.
The moment Zhao Hao Tian saw Bai Chen, he was suddenly taken aback.
“It’s you?!”
“You’re that country bumpkin husband of Nan Yue Ran?”
“The useless son-in-law of the Nan family?”
Hearing Zhao Hao Tian’s words, Zhao Ya frowned.
“What are you saying? This is Doctor Bai!”
However, Zhao Hao Tian sneered.
“Doctor Bai? Hmph! What qualifications does a country bumpkin like him have to be called Doctor Bai?”
“I see that you and grandpa have both been fooled by him! Who in Lintai doesn’t know he is just a country bumpkin! A farmer worker from the mountains?”
“Does he really know medicine? You all are really something! Sigh!”
Zhao Hao Tian pointed at Zhao Ya with an expression of extreme disappointment.
Just then, Zhao Hao Tian’s phone rang.
“Doctor Pu has also arrived. I think you should quickly take this country bumpkin away! Don’t delay Doctor Pu from treating grandpa!”
After saying this, Zhao Hao Tian left the hall directly to welcome Doctor Pu.
Seeing this, Zhao Ya’s expression stiffened, and she quickly apologized to Bai Chen repeatedly.
“Doctor Bai, I am truly sorry! My cousin spoke far too excessively! I’m sorry!”
Bai Chen looked unbothered at that moment.
As the saying goes, a doctor does not knock on doors; he had come to the Zhao family to treat Zhao Ruilong at Zhao Ya’s request.
But after arriving, he was looked down upon by the Zhao family?
Thinking this, Bai Chen stood up straight.
“Forget it, since your Zhao family does not believe me, I do not wish to stay longer. I will handle the hundred-year-old herbs myself.”
After saying this, Bai Chen was about to leave.
Why should he endure disrespect while treating someone?
Zhao Ya was shocked and quickly blocked Bai Chen, continuously apologizing.
At that moment, Zhao Hao Tian entered with Doctor Pu; when he saw the scene, he frowned immediately.
“Zhao Ya, what are you doing! This country bumpkin probably can’t keep up his act now that Doctor Pu has arrived! What’s wrong with letting him go?”
“There are plenty of these con artists around! Why let yourself be fooled?”
Bai Chen, upon hearing this, looked at Zhao Ya and said lightly,
“It seems your Zhao family does not welcome me. Goodbye.”
Zhao Ya could no longer hold back after hearing Zhao Hao Tian’s words. Like an angry lioness, she roared at Zhao Hao Tian.
“Zhao Hao Tian, shut your mouth!”
Seeing an angry Zhao Ya, Zhao Hao Tian was taken aback; it was the first time he had seen her so furious.
“You’re getting mad at me for a country bumpkin?”
“Who knows how this guy has fooled you! Now you’re turning your anger on me?”
Watching Zhao Hao Tian, who insisted on being stubborn, Zhao Ya was nearly driven to madness.
“If you dare to disrespect Doctor Bai again, I won’t let this go with you!”
At that moment, Doctor Pu also frowned and asked in broken Mandarin,
“What is going on here?”
After Zhao Hao Tian explained the situation to Doctor Pu, Doctor Pu scoffed and asked Zhao Ya,
“I would like to ask what method this Doctor Bai uses to treat?”
“Traditional Chinese medicine techniques!”
“Traditional Chinese medicine?” Doctor Pu chuckled.
“What year is it now to still believe in traditional Chinese medicine? Isn’t it all just a scam? And hasn’t your old man always been treated by me? Why invite another doctor?”
Doctor Pu furrowed his brows and couldn’t help but get angry.
“Are you questioning my medical skills?”
“And you even brought a country bumpkin to use traditional Chinese medicine. This not only questions my skills but also looks down on me!”
Seeing this, Zhao Hao Tian quickly apologized to Doctor Pu in a submissive manner.
“Doctor Pu, it’s not like that! How would I know my sister would be fooled! This is all a scam! I certainly believe in you! Things shouldn’t be delayed, let’s quickly go treat my grandpa!”
After saying this, Zhao Hao Tian respectfully led Doctor Pu toward the backyard.
Zhao Ya was so furious at this scene that she felt like she could explode, but there was nothing she could do.
Bai Chen looked at Zhao Hao Tian and Doctor Pu and sneered.
“You both have dark auras; I’m afraid you’ll have bad luck soon!”
Hearing Bai Chen’s words, Zhao Hao Tian scoffed.
“Using that trick again? Do scammers like to do this? Zhao Ya, I advise you to be cautious! Don’t give that batch of hundred-year-old herbs to this scammer; it would be a waste! It would be better to give them to Doctor Pu as a token of appreciation!”
Doctor Pu chuckled and nodded at this.
Just then, Zhao Ruilong was pushed out from the backyard in a wheelchair.
“Is the doctor not here yet? The Family Head has fainted again!”
Seeing the unconscious Zhao Ruilong, Zhao Hao Tian hurriedly ran over with Doctor Pu.
“Doctor Pu, you must save my grandpa! He faints almost every day now!”
Doctor Pu took out the professional medical equipment he carried and smiled gently at Zhao Hao Tian.
“Don’t worry, Young Master Zhao, I am very familiar with the old man’s condition; since I’m here, everything will be fine!”
After that, Doctor Pu immediately began treating Zhao Ruilong.
In no time, Doctor Pu had checked Zhao Ruilong’s body with various devices and then took a deep breath.
“What has your old man eaten recently? His vitality is so strong!”
“At his age, he can’t handle it! That’s why he fainted! I think we need to perform bloodletting therapy! Otherwise, your old man’s life is in danger!”
Zhao Hao Tian was already lost in thought.
Upon hearing Doctor Pu’s words, he nodded vigorously.
“Of course, we should listen to Doctor Pu!”
But Bai Chen frowned even more upon hearing this.
Doctor Pu’s words were completely nonsense!
Zhao Ruilong already had many hidden ailments.
These ailments had consumed his vitality over the years, leaving his body extremely weak.
And just yesterday, Zhao Ruilong had taken his Red Essence Blood Formula to replenish his vigor, yet now he was suggesting bloodletting?
What kind of ridiculous treatment method was that!
Thinking of the help Zhao Ya and Zhao Ruilong had given him, Bai Chen furrowed his brows and reminded Zhao Ya,
“Zhao Ya, if you don’t want anything to happen to your grandpa, you should make them stop!”
