Splendid peasant girl busy farming

"Bah, quack!"

Ping An spat fiercely in the direction where Doctor Xie ran away, turned back to the yard, and just as he closed the yard door and turned around, he saw two people standing behind him.

It’s Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang.

Ping An was so frightened that his body froze.

Yang Ruoqing teased, "You were quite ruthless just now, aren't you afraid that Doctor Xie will come and cause trouble for you?"

Luo Fengtang also looked Ping An up and down and frowned slightly.

Ping An couldn't figure out what his masters meant, so he stood there, very reserved, but still said loudly: "I'm not afraid of trouble. This quack doctor is very annoying. He didn't accomplish anything. He just came out and talked a lot with me, and even wanted a carriage to take him away. I couldn't help but beat him up, and I don't regret it!"

A smile appeared on Yang Ruoqing's face, and she even raised her hand to applaud Ping An.

"Well, you did something today that I wanted to do but couldn't do." Yang Ruoqing said, turning to Luo Fengtang beside her and said, "To be honest, when I was treating my mother and the others in the house, I wanted to beat up Doctor Xie twice!"

She was too busy before, but now Ping An is helping her, which is great.

When Luo Fengtang heard what Yang Ruoqing said, a helpless yet doting smile appeared on his face.

"Just beat him up. This Doctor Xie is uneducated and has no understanding of the patient's family's anxiety. He can't help but keeps talking nonsense! He deserves to be beaten!"

Yang Ruoqing giggled and held Luo Fengtang's arm, "I knew you would definitely stand on my side."

Luo Fengtang coughed and glanced at Ping An.

Then, Yang Ruoqing took her hand back from Luo Fengtang's arm and said to Ping An, "Why are you still standing there? Can't you see we are going out? Go and harness the carriage!"

Ping'an came back to his senses and after hearing these words, the worry that had been hanging in the balance for a long time finally came to an end.

He immediately became cheerful, "Yes! I'll go and harness the carriage right away!"

Ping An soon came over pulling a carriage, and Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang sat in the back carriage.

Yang Ruoqing gave an address, and Ping An and another servant of the He family drove the carriage out of the yard through the side door...

In the carriage, Luo Fengtang asked Yang Ruoqing in a deep voice: "Is that Chen Banxian reliable?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "No matter if it's reliable or not, now that things have come to this, we should go and take a look."

Chen Banxian was the Chen Banxian that Doctor Xie had recommended before, but Doctor Xie only recommended a name and didn’t even tell him where Chen Banxian lived…

Later, He's father gathered several male and female servants of the He family together. Among the servants, there was a maid who went to the tile market to buy vegetables on weekdays. She liked to ask people all kinds of things and knew a lot. It was the maid who told everyone the specific address of Chen Banxian's Shenxian Pavilion.

So, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang drove to find Chen Banxian in person, while Xiao An rode his horse again to another clinic in Qing'an County, 'Huichuntang', which was as famous as Yihechun Clinic.

Doctor Xie was invited from Yihechun. Yihechun was the first choice when hiring doctors at that time. The reason was that for a long time, Yang Ruoqing and his team had the deepest dealings with Yihechun Clinic in Qingshui Town, Wanghai County. The medical skills and quality of the doctors in Yihechun were tested in the process of repeated contacts.

So when something happened at home this time, everyone’s first choice was Yihechun in Qing’an County. This shows trust.

Unexpectedly, Doctor Xie sent by the Yihechun Medical Clinic in Qing'an County turned out to be such a person. Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang were very dissatisfied with the Yihechun Medical Clinic in Qing'an County.

After this dissatisfaction is resolved, Yang Ruoqing will definitely seek revenge from the owner of the Yihechun Medical Clinic in Qing'an County and the president of the Qing'an County Medical Association!
For now, let’s solve the current problem first!
On the other hand, adhering to the principle of a two-pronged approach, Xiao An also rushed to Huichuntang to continue asking the doctor to come and diagnose the three of Sun.

"I have a bad feeling." Luo Fengtang continued in the turbulent carriage.

"I always feel that Doctor Xie is not incapable of treating the disease, but there is an element of deliberateness in his treatment."

"Why do you think so?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Luo Fengtang said: "From the medicines he prescribed for my mother-in-law and others...these are all kinds of panaceas that are everywhere. Even someone like me who doesn't know any medical skills can prescribe them!"

Yang Ruoqing frowned slightly, "You have the same idea as me. He said it is to calm the mind and soul, but I have seen the prescription, it is indeed a very common medicine!"

In recent years, Yang Ruoqing has been running a herb-collecting team and a transportation team. Following Uncle Fu and Wangsheng, father and son, she has also learned to identify many kinds of medicinal herbs, as well as their related functions and uses.

"When it comes to calming the mind and soul, the medicine I prescribe is much better than his." Yang Ruoqing added, "And that bastard, when paying the consultation fee, he asked for 300 coins for the medicine, 60 coins for the consultation fee, and 100 coins for the visit fee. Adding up, it's almost half a tael of silver!"

Not to mention the cost of the medicine, three people had three doses of rubbish medicine, and the consultation fee of sixty cents was equivalent to the registration fee of twenty cents per person.

In modern times, this registration fee is equivalent to seeing a specialist.

The consultation fee of ten thousand coins was because the treatment was not done in the clinic, but rather at the patient's home, but the patient came in a horse-drawn carriage.

He doesn't need to pay a penny!

It was precisely because of this that Yang Ruoqing became angry and deliberately did not arrange a carriage to take her back.

If the job is done, we guarantee a carriage ride and a big red envelope as a thank you.

In the end, nothing was done, the fee was so high, and they even wanted the patient's home to send the patient back by horse-drawn carriage. How greedy, shameless and shameless!
The consultation fee of one hundred coins could be paid by walking back, or by hailing a donkey or mule cart on the street, which would deliver the goods to the clinic for seven or eight coins. The remaining ninety or so coins would be Dr. Xie's private property.

This is not enough, he also has to ask Ping An to arrange a carriage. He deserves a beating!
"Actually, this half a tael of silver is nothing. When we go to a temple to burn incense and release animals, we spend dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver. This half a tael of silver doesn't matter." Yang Ruoqing continued.

"What annoys me is Dr. Xie's greed and lack of sympathy. This is a doctor's most fatal flaw."

Luo Fengtang said: "Greed is secondary. My feeling is that as a doctor, if it were the village doctors Fu Bo and Wang Sheng, they would definitely not make the fallacy that they cannot diagnose and treat the patient after a simple pulse check!"

"If Uncle Fu and Wangsheng were here, they would definitely rack their brains, look through medical books, and search for all their past clinical diagnosis experience to overcome the difficulties before them." (End of this chapter)
