Chapter 219: Queuing for a Doctor

“This is my Aunt Mu,” Xie Zheng explained in a calm tone.

Lu Ya said to Xie Zheng, "Brother Xie Zheng, why don't we let my mom sit here and wait with this auntie, and we'll go queue up?"

To be honest, Xie Zheng didn't really want to queue up with Lu Ya.

He knew beforehand that Bai Zhi refused to treat Wang Shufen.

The mother and daughter must have come to queue up specifically after seeing Lu Ye.

What if when it's time to get to the front of the line, they refuse to treat Wang Shufen?

And then there's him. Although he's already apologized to Lu Ye, he's unsure if Bai Zhi will accept it.

Wang Shufen had only been off the bus for two minutes when her legs gave way.

She had pain in her ankles, knees, and back.

In short, all the joints in my body feel uncomfortable.

And the body is stiff.

"Xiaoya, help me sit down. I'll rest for a bit. You go and queue up."

Wang Shufen even found it difficult to sit down by herself.

The main problem is stiff knees that are difficult to bend.

There wasn't even a cushion on the ground to sit on. Wang Shufen used to be particular about these things, but now she doesn't care about anything.

Lu Ya helped him sit down on the ground.

Xie Zheng then went to the small shop next door to borrow a small stool for Mu Qin to sit on.

Then he went to queue up with Lu Ya.

Wang Shufen felt much more relaxed after sitting down.

Her attention then turned to Muqin.

She looked familiar, so he tentatively confirmed her identity, "Are you Mu Qin?"

Mu Qin looked at Wang Shufen with a puzzled expression, "Hmm? You know me?"

Wang Shufen was very dissatisfied with Mu Qin's blank look. She frowned and immediately began to mock her instinctively, "No way? You don't recognize me?"

Before Muqin's family moved away, everyone was a neighbor.

Mu Qin felt that the voice sounded familiar, but her mind was a little blank for a moment and she really couldn't remember who it was.

Wang Shufen's swollen, fat face wrinkled even more horribly.

His words also began to be sharp and sarcastic.

“Muqin, I know that your daughter’s situation has been a huge blow to you, which is why your family left Nancheng. But that happened ten years ago. Now that you’ve returned to Nancheng, you should let go of the past. There’s no need to pretend that you don’t even recognize us old neighbors and friends in order to escape the past.”

Mu Qin's face turned ugly because of Wang Shufen's words.

At the same time, because Wang Shufen said such a long thing, she finally remembered who the other person was through her sharp and sarcastic tone.

But Muqin did not recognize the joy and surprise of her old friend.

"Are you Shufen?" she asked, looking at Wang Shufen to confirm.

Seeing that she had finally recognized her, Wang Shufen hummed in agreement and then began to speak sarcastically again, "Yes, I am Lu Ye's second aunt, Wang Shufen. We used to be neighbors. I don't believe you could have forgotten me."

Mu Qin glanced at her face and explained with a faint smile, "I haven't forgotten, it's just that your face has changed so much."

After all, she and Xie Yun were once close friends, so she naturally knew Xie Yun's sister-in-law.

But how did Wang Shufen end up like this?

She just noticed that she seemed to have difficulty walking.

And this face... it doesn't look fat, it looks swollen.

Wang Shufen realized that Mu Qin was staring intently at her.

She then realized why Mu Qin hadn't recognized her.

It wasn't that Mu Qin was blind; it was just that with her appearance, even her close friends would probably find it difficult to recognize her at a glance.

Moreover, it was Muqin, whom he hadn't seen for ten years.

"Shufen, what kind of illness is this? Are you also here to see Doctor Ye?"

Wang Shufen nodded, "Yes, I'm going to see Doctor Ye for a checkup."

“I have rheumatoid arthritis and have seen doctors everywhere, but it only gets worse. The doctors in those big hospitals are all quacks. I spent so much money, but it didn’t work at all.”

After scolding the doctor, Wang Shufen looked at Mu Qin and asked, "What about you? You don't look well either. What's wrong with you?"

"Heart problems."

Upon hearing Mu Qin's words, Wang Shufen immediately showed a sympathetic expression.

He lamented, "God is so unfair. Losing your daughter is bad enough, but how could you also get this disease? This disease could be fatal."

Mu Qin lowered her eyes, her expression gloomy, and did not reply.

Xie Zheng and Lu Ya had already joined the queue, waiting for the line in front of them to move very slowly.

Lu Ya glanced at her watch with annoyance.

She has an appointment this afternoon.

Judging from the current situation, it's unlikely that she'll be able to schedule a date early.

Xie Zheng also looked anxious.

His main concern was that Mu Qin might get impatient waiting over there.

Lu Ya counted the patients ahead of her; there were still eighteen people in line.

Xie Zheng noticed that Lu Ya kept checking her watch. Since he had nothing else to do, he struck up a conversation with her, "Isn't Bai Zhi your future cousin-in-law? Why didn't you wait until she came to your house to let your mother meet her? Why did you have to wait in line?"

Lu Ya was embarrassed to mention to outsiders that her mother had offended Bai Zhi.

She said, "I didn't know where my cousin-in-law would stay after she came back, so I was brought here to see her. After all, my cousin-in-law's grandfather is quite authoritative."

"So, you don't believe in Bai Zhi's medical skills?" Xie Zheng asked rhetorically.

Lu Ya, “........”

"Or is it that your cousin doesn't want his girlfriend to pay for your mother's medical treatment?"

Lu Ya immediately retorted, "No, my cousin isn't that kind of person."

Although Bai Zhi refused to treat her mother's illness while she was staying at their house, which angered Lu Ya.

But she never imagined that it was her cousin who was behind it.

Her cousin is a respectable soldier, and he acts with integrity.

I would never sabotage you behind your back.

Bai Zhi refused to treat the patient, which was obviously because her mother had offended someone.

Therefore, they can only come to Jishengtang to queue up for medical treatment now.

She was certain that in front of so many patients, Dr. Ye and Bai Zhi would not refuse to treat her.

They wouldn't do that in order to protect their reputation and image.

Lu Ya and Xie Zheng chatted idly for a while, and time passed by. By 3:30, the number of people in the line had finally dwindled to single digits.

Finally, there was hope.

Xie Zheng was at the front of the line. When it was almost his turn, he asked Lu Ya to keep an eye on his seat while he went to pick up Aunt Mu.

"Could you help me get my mom over here too?" Lu Ya said. "After you've finished looking around, it'll be our turn."
