Chapter 2337

"Okay." Li Yang agreed and left to fetch the medicine.

Zhu Yanyi said, "When the medicine is back, boil it with two bowls of water until only a small half bowl remains. Then, add a small spoonful of honey or a piece of rock sugar. This way, the medicine won't taste bitter."

"Isn't Chinese medicine bitter?" Sister Xie asked with some worry. "My child is good in every way, but I’m afraid he won’t take the medicine obediently."

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "I’ve already thought of that. I used licorice, honeysuckle, and other non-bitter herbs. With honey or rock sugar, this bowl of medicine will taste like sweet water."

"That’s good." Sister Xie breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t know much about medicine, but she knew licorice and honeysuckle weren’t bitter.

Li Yang returned with three doses of medicine. Zhu Yanyi handed them to Sister Xie, who asked, "How much is the medicine fee?"

Li Yang said, "One yuan and thirty cents."

Sister Xie hurried to a drawer and took out one yuan and thirty cents, giving it to Li Yang. "Thank you so much for your trouble, brother."

Li Yang glanced at Sister Xie, said nothing, and took the money.

Seeing this, Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Alright, the child is fine now. You have things to do, so we won’t disturb you. We’re leaving." She stood up, packed her medical box, called Yan Aohan and Li Yang, and left the house.

Outside the Wu family’s door, Li Yang said, "That woman doesn’t know how to behave."

Zhu Yanyi said, "I saved the child. If she doesn’t know how to behave, she owes me a karmic debt. She will have to pay back much more later."

No mortal could take advantage of the Lord of the Underworld. The more they took, the more they would have to repay.

Li Yang didn’t understand what Zhu Yanyi meant, but she disliked that family. Back home, Zhu Shun Yao was watching TV. Seeing them return, he asked, "Is the child okay?"

"Dad is so amazing, he even guessed that," Zhu Yanyi teased Zhu Shun Yao.

Zhu Shun Yao said proudly, "Of course. My daughter is a divine doctor. How could such a minor illness stump her?"

Li Yang said, "Uncle, you didn’t notice. That woman really knows how to take advantage. Madam wrote the prescription, but she said she couldn’t leave because no one was home. Fine, I have a car, so Madam asked me to buy it, and I did. It cost one yuan and thirty cents. I told her, and she paid. But she didn’t say a word about the house call fee."

Zhu Shun Yao felt displeased. "Although helping neighbors is expected, if someone is so ungrateful, helping them isn’t necessarily a good thing."

"Never mind, Dad. Don’t take it to heart. Do you really think your daughter’s advantages are easy to take?" Zhu Yanyi smiled faintly.

"Her son is fine, but she has problems. I saw black spots on her left Yuan Palace. She clearly has a fibroid inside. If she hadn’t taken small advantages and been more generous, it would have remained benign. A small surgery would have solved it. But she took advantage of me. Dad, your daughter’s advantages aren’t easy to take. I have saved many people and have karmic merit. She took advantage of me, so she must pay a price. That fibroid will likely become malignant."

Zhu Yanyi’s words sounded uncertain, but they were very certain. "They say good deeds have good rewards, and bad deeds have bad rewards. This is also a form of karmic retribution. So, Brother Li, you don’t need to be angry. Heaven sees what people do. Someone like her will suffer within three months."

Li Yang was satisfied. "That’s best. Our advantages aren’t for everyone to take."

Zhu Yanyi smiled and said no more. Yan Aohan squeezed her hand. Only they understood the meaning. They knew Sister Xie would face retribution. They didn’t need to act; the Heavenly Dao would not give her a good outcome.

The next morning, Zhu Shun Yao didn’t go out. His matters were temporarily settled, and he planned to drive back to Sicheng Town. Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan were worried, so they asked Li Yang to drive him back. Zhu Yanyi had Yan Ao and Luo Gang, so she didn’t need to worry.

Luo Gang had returned just after 2 a.m. The medical van was in the garage. After sleeping, she was ready to go out with Zhu Yanyi.

After seeing off Zhu Shun Yao and Li Yang, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan went with Luo Gang to see the medical van.

Looking at the van, Zhu Yanyi was very satisfied. "Aohan, you know me so well. I really needed this medical van."

The van was fully equipped with surgical tools. It also had drawers and cabinets of various sizes for Zhu Yanyi to store daily medicines.

Of course, Zhu Yanyi could also store some pills she refined for mortals. She couldn’t just take them directly from the Ruyi Space, so storing them here was better.

Zhu Yanyi checked the drawers. Many contained daily herbs, such as anti-inflammatory herbs and cold remedies. She had quite a lot.

Seeing his wife so excited, Yan Aohan felt that his efforts were rewarded. He felt happy.

"I’m glad you like it. I do everything for your happiness," Yan Aohan said seriously.

Luo Gang felt he shouldn’t be there. This place was definitely going to be filled with romantic moments. He wanted to leave but coughed to remind them that others were present.

Yan Aohan glanced at Luo Gang. It seemed he had given Luo Gang too few tasks. Now, he had the mood to disturb them.

Zhu Yanyi blushed and said, "Where are we going today?"

Yan Aohan said, "We’ll drive around. Wherever there is empty space, we’ll go there. What do you think?"

"Good," Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Is this our 'Fated Pharmacy' in the mortal realm? No, it should be the 'Fated Medical Van'." She laughed at herself.

With hospitals, few people would come to the medical van for treatment. So, Zhu Yanyi’s comment was somewhat self-deprecating.

However, she decided to use this method. It was to tell everyone that doctors in this world were mostly in hospitals. It was also to tell those doctors that their existence wasn’t to show off their status, position, or benefits in hospitals, but to save more lives.

Luo Gang drove. They slowly drove to a playground that wasn’t too crowded and wasn’t a busy area. People passed by, but it was clear it wasn’t a noisy place.

Luo Gang set up a table. Zhu Yanyi simply wore her white coat and sat at the table. Yan Aohan somehow brought a sign that read "Medical Van."

Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan weren’t in a hurry. Without patients, they chatted, but patients would come.

An old woman, looking about sixty or seventy, approached. "Are you seeing patients here?"

"Yes, Grandma. I am a doctor," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "My surname is Zhu. This is my medical van. Do you need to see a doctor, Grandma?"

"My back has been hurting for a few days. Can you help me?" the old woman asked.

"Of course," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "Grandma, please extend your hand. I’ll check your pulse."

"Good, good. It’s good that you’re a Chinese doctor. I dislike Western doctors the most," the old woman said. She clearly favored traditional Chinese medicine.

Zhu Yanyi did two things at once, checking the pulse while asking, "Grandma, you don’t trust Western medicine?"

"What’s good about Western medicine? They just take pictures all day. Chinese medicine is the true good art left by our ancestors. Only true doctors can become Chinese doctors. Just look at your pulse checking. Your skills are good," the old woman said. She was clearly a fan of traditional Chinese medicine.

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Grandma, not only does your back hurt, but when the weather changes, your knees and head also hurt, right?"

"Yes, daughter, you know everything," the old woman said happily. "I knew Chinese medicine was good. It’s more effective than taking pictures."

Zhu Yanyi said, "Grandma, I’ll massage you a bit and do moxibustion. It will take about half an hour. Later, I’ll give you some mugwort rolls and teach you how to do it at home. If you persist for a while, you’ll get better."

"Good, good. Daughter, please teach me," the old woman said seriously.

Zhu Yanyi helped the old woman into the van and performed moxibustion. After half an hour, the old woman found her back felt much lighter.

Zhu Yanyi wrapped the mugwort rolls and handed them to the old woman. "Grandma, did you remember the method I taught you?"

"I remembered, I remembered," the old woman nodded seriously. "Daughter, your skills are good. Will you come here again?"

Zhu Yanyi looked at the place and smiled. "I’ll be here for the next two days. After that, I might change places. Every place has patients, so I can’t stay in one place too long. I usually stay in one place for three to five days." Zhu Yanyi thought and told the old woman, "Today is my first day here, so I’ll stay here for at least two more days."

"Is that so? I’ll tell our village. Let all the old bones with discomfort come." Then she remembered, "Daughter, how much?"

"Eight mao," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "I don’t charge for pulse checking or treatment. I only charge for the mugwort rolls. There are two rolls, each costing four mao."

"That’s cheaper than the pharmacy. Daughter, how do you make money like this?" the old woman asked, dissatisfied.

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Doctors study not to make money, but for everyone’s health. Of course, I need to charge money, mainly for the cost of herbs."

Hearing Zhu Yanyi’s words, the old woman sighed. "You are a good girl. I’ll go back first and tell the old bones to come."
