Chapter 20: Will they run away with the money?

When Lu Zheng'an went in, the Gu family was still thanking Bai Zhi profusely.

Niu Niu also liked Bai Zhi very much. Bai Zhi gave the banner to Doctor Zhou and then picked up Niu Niu.

"Dr. Zhou, Dr. Xiaobai, my father-in-law told me that you two can treat my daughter's condition, so we came here today to learn more."

Dr. Zhou was somewhat at a loss for words as he held the banner. It was the first time he had received such treatment, and to be honest, as a doctor, he was very proud at that moment.

But more than anything, he felt guilty and lacked confidence; he knew that the banner had nothing to do with him.

It has nothing to do with Jishengtang; it was Baizhi who earned it.

He hurriedly covered the martial arts novel on the table with a medical book.

“Ms. Yang, childhood epilepsy is treatable,” Bai Zhi said professionally and confidently. “However, medicine is only effective for those who are destined to be cured. Doctors and patients must first gain trust and cooperate with each other to achieve good results.”

Lu Zheng'an was standing at the door when he heard Bai Zhi's words.

He felt his face burning with embarrassment.

Yang Li hurriedly said,

"We trust you and Dr. Zhou, so could you please tell us how the treatment should be administered?"

“I checked the child’s pulse this morning. In traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is the first treatment, and the child also needs to take medicine.”

Bai Zhi asked them, "Are you still taking your Western medicine medications?"

"I'm taking it, but the medicine isn't available locally, so I have to bring it from Kyoto, which is quite a hassle. I've had several relapses while taking the medicine, and we're always on edge every time. Sometimes it takes me a while to recover, with convulsions, urinary incontinence, and the symptoms are getting worse."

My in-laws told me that the acupuncture you gave the child this morning saved him, and that gave us hope.

We have always believed in the profound wisdom and expertise of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but it's difficult for us to find truly skilled and competent doctors.

Bai Zhi said, "We can't stop the Western medicine for now. We can combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine for treatment. The child should avoid stimulation and fatigue. When she gets older and her resistance improves, it will be less likely to relapse."

The Gu family listened to Bai Zhi's professional explanation, which was basically the same as what Niu Niu's attending physician had said.

They all had a clear idea of ​​what was going on.

Western doctors have also mentioned to them that if there are good traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, they could give it a try.

Old Gu said to his son and daughter-in-law,

"Jingming, Xiaoli, let's listen to Dr. Bai and see how things go after one course of treatment."

Gu Jingming nodded, "Okay, then let's get one course of treatment here first."

Lu Shan followed and was now at the door, overhearing the entire conversation inside.

She really wanted to go in and stop the Gu family, after all, Bai Zhi's identity was unknown, and it was unclear where she learned her medical skills.

She was afraid that Bai Zhi would delay Niu Niu's treatment.

But the Gu family trusted Bai Zhi so much, and even someone as cautious and wary as Yang Li was willing to entrust her daughter to Bai Zhi for treatment.

If she goes in now, she'll probably only make a fool of herself.

Perhaps that's just how people are; when they're desperate enough, they don't care about being deceived.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I am willing to try, even at the risk of being scammed.

Like her father, she has lost all reason.

Lu Zheng'an was also involved in Bai Zhi's diagnosis of Niu Niu.

This gave him even more confidence in Bai Zhi's medical skills.

She is absolutely talented.

Bai Zhi had given Niu Niu acupuncture this morning, so she said to have them come over tomorrow morning to officially begin the treatment.

After showing the book to Niu Niu, the Gu family thanked them again and said goodbye before leaving.

As soon as the Gu family members came out, Lu Zheng'an looked at Bai Zhi awkwardly and apologized to her, saying that he had been too emotional and had spoken too harshly.

........

As the Gu family left Jishengtang, they ran right into the people standing outside the door.

Upon seeing Lu Shan, Old Master Gu paused for a moment, then seemed to recall something painful. He simply gave a faint "hmm" and walked past her.

"Lu Shan?" Gu Jingming and Yang Li also recognized her. They were both stunned at first, and then their expressions turned cold.

Lu Shan mustered her courage and called out to Gu Jingming and Yang Li, "Brother, sister-in-law, it's probably not reliable for Niu Niu to receive treatment at a pharmacy like this..."

Yang Li stopped in her tracks, looked at her, and said indifferently, "Dr. Lu, Niu Niu's matter is none of your concern."

Lu Shan didn't give up and continued to follow, "I hope you can take her to a proper hospital for proper treatment and not delay her condition. If you need help, I can inquire about authoritative experts in neurology for her."

"No need, we know what we're doing."

Gu Jingming's face was gloomy as he carried Niu Niu ahead. Yang Li blocked Lu Shan's path, who was following behind, and looked at her coldly, "Back then, you so heartlessly dumped Niu Niu's second uncle. He was so disheartened that he impulsively went to the front lines to carry out a mission, and his fate is still unknown. What right do you have to interfere in our affairs?"

"Sister-in-law, I..." Lu Shan's hands trembled slightly at her sides. Usually so aloof, she was at a loss when faced with Yang Li's questioning, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Don't call me sister-in-law, I can't accept that."

After Yang Li finished speaking coldly, she turned around and quickly caught up with her father-in-law and Gu Jingming.

After Lu Zheng'an finished speaking with Bai Zhi, he came out and saw his daughter staring at the departing family with a pale face.

He asked in confusion, "Xiao Shan, do you know them?"

Lu Shan lowered her eyes, and after a long while, she replied in a trembling voice, "Yes, a family member of an old friend."

She watched the family get into the car and leave, her expression still blank.

Lu Zheng'an had no time to think about anything else. He asked Lu Shan, "Xiao Shan, what are you planning to do about your brother? I think we should ask Bai Zhi to go and treat him."

Lu Shan said, "Dad, let's go back to the hospital first and see if the test results are out. We'll talk about it after Director Zhou and the others have their consultation. Xiao Ye is a soldier. He was injured in the line of duty and is in the hospital. You can't find a doctor to treat him on your own. You have to listen to the doctor."

"Then hurry back and ask them, I don't think they have any good ideas either."

Before leaving, Lu Shan said she had something to tell Bai Zhi and asked her father to wait outside for a moment.

When she entered Jishengtang, Baizhi was excitedly gesturing with the brocade banner, intending to hang it on the wall.

"Bai Zhi, that child's condition is complicated. You'd better think carefully about the consequences of taking him in."

Bai Zhi was feeling happy when Lu Shan's poker face suddenly returned. Feeling cold watered, she also became rude, saying, "Dr. Lu, you should worry more about your brother."

It has been almost twelve hours since her acupuncture session yesterday.

Lu Ye could only hold on for another three or four hours at most before the effects of the drug took hold.

They refused to believe her, and it was Lu Ye who suffered.

Lu Shan was rebuked, and not good at arguing, she left with a dark face.

Watching Lu Shan's retreating figure, Bai Zhi lost interest in hanging the banner. She decided to look for an apartment after get off work today.

Now that things have escalated to this point, she may have to move out of the Lu family home.

As for Lu Ye, it seems he also managed to survive for three years in his previous life.

Therefore, there's no rush to treat him.

However, given the current situation, he will have to suffer more.

Bai Zhi couldn't help but picture Lu Ye's pale face and the gunshot wounds on his body...

Seeing the bruised and battered arms he had scratched when he was delirious, and the way he roared in pain like a wild beast when he lost control, her heart suddenly ached.

Yesterday, in front of those authoritative doctors, he asked her to come over today to continue giving him acupuncture.

He approves of her treatment methods.

But right now...

Bai Zhi glanced at her digital watch and suddenly felt anxious.

She couldn't bear to see a hero like him suffer such excruciating pain again.

If she moves out of the Lu family home and has to find a place to live, she won't have enough money. The money Xie Yun gave her for clothes is 120 yuan left over, and she'll need money for rent and living expenses later on.

So she decided to get an advance on her salary.

"You've only been working one day and you're already asking for an advance on your salary?" Dr. Zhou glanced at her warily, his tone low and menacing. "You're not planning to run away with your salary in advance, are you?"

Bai Zhi, "!!!"

"Dr. Zhou, what can I do with eighty yuan if I cheat you out of it? You underestimate me."
