Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Xiao Kun then realized what was happening: "Oh, how much do you want to borrow?"

"Lend me 10, or 8 if that's not possible!" Jin De winced in pain.

Xiao Kun took out Jin De's phone and dialed the number for Ye's mother.

The phone call went unanswered; I'd been blocked...

Xiao Kun called Ye's father and Ye Chen again, but both calls were blocked.

Xiao Kun scratched his head and looked at Jin De: "What if we can't get through?"

Jin De kicked the floor in anger: "Damn it, they even blocked me!"

The recoil from that kick made his hand ache terribly again.

"Dad, then, why don't we go to the hospital first and get treatment first? They can't just stand by and watch someone die, can they?" Xiao Kun said hesitantly.

"Hmph, who's going to treat you if you don't have the money to prepay?" Auntie sneered.

Xiao Kun's eyes lit up: "Doesn't my cousin Ye Chen own a clinic? I've seen good reviews online. Let's take Dad there. My cousin won't lend us money, but he can't just leave us to die!"

Upon hearing this, Jin De was so excited that he temporarily forgot his pain.

"Holy crap, as expected of my son! That's a great idea, really great!"

My aunt curled her lip and poured cold water on the situation: "Hmph, don't let them kick you out later!"

Jin De, however, didn't care: "If Ye Chen dares not treat me, I'll make a scene and see how he saves face. He's an internet celebrity now, he'll definitely be mindful of his image!"

"What kind of doctor wouldn't even save his own aunt's husband?"

"If you want me to stop causing trouble, fine, but just give me the money so I can go to the hospital for proper treatment!"

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

"So what if they've blocked our number? They can't hide forever!"

Jin De excitedly muttered to himself, "There's always a way out when you're in trouble!"

"Quick, call a taxi and take me to Ye Chen's clinic!"

My aunt hesitated for a moment as she looked at Jin De's severed hand, perhaps weighing the pros and cons of the matter.

"Damn it, what are you standing there for? Call a car!" Jin De urged impatiently.

The aunt came to her senses and finally sighed inwardly. With no other option, she had to call a car.

Her sister wouldn't give her money, and since she couldn't go to the hospital, this was the only option she could take.

She secretly vowed that this would be the last time...

Xuanzhen Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic.

Li Wenlong is so passionate about his work that he can't stay idle for a moment.

We only took a day off on New Year's Eve and the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Work started on the second day of the Lunar New Year...

Surprisingly, his wife not only didn't object to him being away from home, but also thought that was how it should be.

She and her daughter brought her lunch.

We fully support Lao Li's career.

Old Li was so moved that he immediately handed over all his savings.

Zhang Qian knew that her master had started work so early and planned to help, but Li Wenlong refused.

The main reason is that there are far fewer people in Xiamen during the Spring Festival, and everyone is busy visiting relatives and has no time to get sick.

So, the TCM clinic hasn't been busy these past two days.

Li Wenlong can manage on his own, and he can even make tea and slack off from time to time.

Therefore, Li Wenlong told Zhang Qian to spend more time with her family, and not to always think of being a beast of burden during her rare holiday.

It was close to lunchtime, and there were no patients in the traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

Li Wenlong was leisurely brewing tea and drinking it alone.

"Dad, I'm here!"

Li Wenlong's daughter walked in smiling, carrying a lunchbox.

"Xiao Xuan is here! You're here early today!" Li Wenlong stood up and smiled as he looked at the clock on the wall.

"Mom cooked faster today, because she was worried you'd go hungry!"

"Come on, bring it over here. What delicious food are you cooking today?" Li Wenlong swallowed hard.

"We have your favorite braised shrimp..."

"Ye Chen, help me—"

The heartwarming conversation between Li Wenlong and his daughter was abruptly interrupted by a piercing scream!

Li Wenlong looked towards the doorway.

Three people entered through the door: a couple and a child, who were Ye Chen's aunt and her family of three.

"Cover it up first, I'll eat later!" Li Wenlong told his daughter and hurriedly went out to greet them.

"What's wrong?" Li Wenlong asked Jin De.

That sound was him shouting.

Jin De was visibly surprised when he saw that the person who came out was not Ye Chen.

He went back out to check the sign for the traditional Chinese medicine clinic to make sure he hadn't gone to the wrong place!

"Isn't this the Xuanzhen Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic?" Jin De asked in confusion.

Li Wenlong nodded: "That's right, this is Xuanzhen Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic. What kind of illness do you want to see a doctor for?"

Ignoring Li Wenlong's words, Jin De continued to ask, "No, no, isn't Xuanzhen Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic Ye Chen's? Who are you, and where is Ye Chen?"

Li Wenlong smiled and nodded: "That's right, my surname is Li, and I'm usually the one seeing patients here!"

Jin De frowned immediately: "Who cares what your surname is? I don't know you. To put it bluntly, you're just here to work. Where's your boss, Ye Chen? Call Ye Chen out here. I'm his relative. Have him come and treat me!"

They finally found Ye Chen's traditional Chinese medicine clinic, only to discover that Ye Chen wasn't there.

Isn't this neglecting one's proper duties?

Li Wenlong's face twitched. Where did this guy come from?

Can't you speak properly? What you're saying makes people feel really uncomfortable.

Can't you speak more tactfully? Isn't this kind of confrontational language deliberately inciting class conflict between the boss and the employees?

What do you mean by "working here"? And what about your boss, Ye Chen?

Ye Chen is his master, okay? The Xuanzhen Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic is also the result of their hard work.

Even when he's working, he's working for his own family.

Also, do you know what a visiting doctor is? Do you understand what a visiting doctor is?

You need to see me for your medical needs!

How could he be so blind as to not see a living doctor standing right in front of him?

They act so arrogant even when they need something from others, who spoiled them like that? Seriously!

Just because someone is a relative of the boss doesn't mean they can boss people around and act superior.

They perfectly exemplified the saying "a dog relying on its master's power."

And he even had the nerve to order people around and say, "Call Ye Chen out!" Is Ye Chen your father or your grandfather?

If you ask him to come and treat your illness, he has to come obediently.

Even if someone is too old to have emotional intelligence, they should at least speak more gently when asking for a favor.

Can you please stop acting like someone owes you money?

Forget it, forget it!

Li Wenlong was too lazy to argue with such a person. Even if he explained, the person wouldn't understand, let alone comprehend it.

Since they are relatives of the master, yet they don't contact the master directly and don't even know that the master isn't at the Chinese medicine clinic.

This suggests that the relationship between the two parties is just so-so; they're probably just distant relatives at most.

They probably came here after seeing information about the TCM clinic online.

Li Wenlong, a seasoned veteran, saw through many things in an instant.

He did not reveal his emotions, but simply looked calmly at the three people in front of him.

"Oh, our boss isn't here. Just call him directly!"

Li Wenlong spoke calmly.

Jin De was taken aback. If he could contact Ye Chen, would he have come all the way to his shop?

Just then, someone outside shouted, "Are you done yet? Hurry up and pay the fare, I have another order to make!"

Jin De turned around impatiently and shouted, "What's the rush? Do you think I'd owe you 100 yuan?"
