“I don’t know what I did to make you misunderstand this clinic as harmful,” Bai Jiang asked.

“In other traditional Chinese medicine clinics, there are rows of medicine cabinets for the convenience of patients to get their prescriptions filled. Even if you don’t have one, it’s fine. You look like you’re only 20 years old. How many years can you possibly have studied traditional Chinese medicine? You probably just learned some knowledge from books and came here to deceive people. If this isn’t a harmful clinic, then what is it?”

Upon hearing this, Bai Jiang chuckled. “Indeed, I don’t have a medicine cabinet at the moment, but patients can take my prescription and buy the medicine elsewhere. However, one’s abilities should not be judged solely based on age. Whether someone is good or bad should be assessed by the patients themselves, rather than making direct and biased accusations like you. I have never randomly treated people and caused harm, nor have I swindled money from anyone. I have always adhered to medical ethics in treating illnesses. What makes you think you can judge and even defame me without even getting to know me?”

The old man showed a hint of admiration and then turned to the woman. “Alright, stop saying so much. I came here because of Principal Wang. Do you know who cured Principal Wang’s illness? It’s the female doctor standing in front of you.”

“Principal Wang?” The woman’s eyes widened.

Although she wasn’t a doctor, she was aware of Principal Wang’s condition to some extent.

Even if the old principal was sent to a big hospital, there was no way to operate on him. Even the renowned doctors in the town’s famous clinic claimed that Principal Wang had a heart disease that couldn’t be treated with surgery, and he could only wait for death.

But this young woman had managed to cure him! How was that possible?

“No, no, no, there must be some mistake,” the woman said again.

Bai Jiang sneered. Actually, the woman in front of her was not a bad person. It was just that her words made people a little unhappy.

“I know the old principal, and I’m in contact with his son. I can easily make a call right now and have them verify this. But why should I do that? Just because of your baseless accusations?”

The old man beside them quickly intervened and advised the woman, “Alright, enough. Why do you still have such a temper? Apologize to Doctor Bai.”

“And as for that famous clinic you mentioned, I won’t go there. What kind of rubbish are those health supplements you bought? I feel unwell after taking them, but if I don’t take them, you get mad at me! Let me tell you, I want to take those supplements you bought to a professional medical institution for testing.”

“Of course, I’m not saying all this to criticize you. You have been filial to me, and it’s just that you were deceived.”

Bai Jiang listened to the conversation between the old man and the woman, feeling confused, and quickly asked, “What’s going on?”

“Sigh.” The old man let out a heavy sigh. “I don’t know what to say either. Anyway, I know that you cured the old principal, so I wanted to come and let you take a look at me.”

Bai Jiang nodded and turned to the woman, who looked aggrieved. “It was me who cured the old principal. Even if you don’t believe it was me, you shouldn’t say those hurtful words. Although you may not have bad intentions, repeatedly saying such things will make others think otherwise.”

“Yes, yes, Doctor, you’re right!” The old man said while glaring fiercely at his daughter-in-law. “Apologize to Doctor Bai!”

This daughter-in-law was good in everything, but her words easily offended people. Sometimes, he was angered to death by her words.

“Doctor Bai, I’m sorry. I spoke without thinking,” the woman approached Bai Jiang and apologized softly.

“It’s okay. By the way, where are the health supplements you mentioned? Do you mind if I take a look?” Bai Jiang asked.

The old man smiled, revealing his white teeth, and took out something resembling a tea bag from his pouch.

“I already guessed that you wanted to see it, so I prepared a pack,” the old man said to Bai Jiang.

Bai Jiang couldn’t help but smile along. This old man was very adorable, just like the old principal, a child at heart.

She took the tea bag handed by the old man and examined it for a while. Soon, she knew what was inside the tea bag. She sighed and said to the old man, “Old man, this is just ordinary Pu’er tea with some health supplements.”

“The cost of this thing is at most one or two RMB. Health supplements are not suitable for everyone’s body. It’s like finding the right medicine for a specific illness. Even if the symptoms are the same, the medication can’t be the same because of the differences in people’s bodies.”
