Therefore, the substance added to the yam powder affected its taste. Wan Wen’s daughter couldn’t stomach it, but Wan Wen’s mother consumed a spoonful of yam powder every day.

Was it because Wan Wen’s mother couldn’t bear to discard this luxurious tonic, or did she never doubt her son’s filial piety?

Ye Ling walked out of the bedroom. Wan Wen’s elder brother, Wan Gui, smirked peculiarly. “Has the divine doctor finished seeing the patient? Did you figure out what illness the old lady had? Is it something like being possessed, similar to Aunt Mei’s Ah Hui?”

Ye Ling glanced at Wan Gui in disgust.

Wan Gui hadn’t anticipated that Ye Ling had already discovered the issue with the yam powder.

There was a trace of arrogance in the man’s confident expression. Ye Ling couldn’t comprehend how he could display such a smug expression after committing such an act against his mother.

Wan Wen, with red eyes, stared at Wan Gui. Suddenly, she grabbed an old water bottle and hurled it at Wan Gui.

The hot water spilled out, wetting half of Wan Gui’s pants. If the old kettle had better insulation, he might have suffered a burn.

Wan Gui screamed and glared at Wan Wen. “Have you gone mad? Believe me, I’ll beat you to death! Just because you’re married doesn’t mean I can’t discipline you!”

Wan Wen had married the leader of Willow Village’s breeding team. Her husband’s status as a small cadre allowed her to decide to bring Ye Ling to treat her mother upon returning home.

If Wan Wen had married an ordinary farmer, her brother and younger brother wouldn’t have listened to her.

Wan Wen was not afraid of Wan Gui. The rage within her was almost scorching. She fixed her gaze on Wan Gui, her voice trembling and ominous, “Wan Gui, you better pray that Mom is okay!”

Ye Ling sighed internally and gently pulled on Wan Wen’s sleeve, reminding her not to lose control of her emotions.

A moment later, Wan Wen escorted Ye Ling to the door. She attempted to muster a smile, but her lips remained stiff. She couldn’t manage it.

“I apologize for making a scene in front of Doctor Ye.”

“It’s nothing. I’m here solely to treat a patient.” Ye Ling wanted to comfort Wan Wen, but encountering such a situation for the first time, she was unsure of what to say. She waved her hand, saying, “I’ll take my leave now.”

Ye Ling circled Wan Wen’s house and soon arrived at Jin Zhi’s residence.

Jin Zhi had already fetched a small stool and washed vegetables while keeping an eye on the door.

Spotting Ye Ling, Jin Zhi stood up joyfully, wiping her hands on her apron. She approached Ye Ling, saying, “Doctor Ye is here. Come in and have a seat. The food will be ready shortly!”

Jin Zhi’s mother-in-law emerged from the kitchen, gazing at Ye Ling and remarking, “So, this is Doctor Ye. Quite beautiful.”

When Jin Zhi’s mother-in-law uttered the two words ‘Doctor Ye’, her tone carried a hint of hesitation.

She harbored doubts about a young girl like Ye Ling possessing the skills of a divine doctor. Nevertheless, her attitude was far better than Wan Gui’s, likely adhering to the principle of “better to believe than not to believe.”

Jin Zhi’s husband also walked out of the living room. The man was a little fat, and when he sawye Ling, his expression was a little unnatural. It was probably because he knew why Ye Ling had come to their house, so he felt a little ashamed.

Dinner was abundant. Wan Wen had sent over a freshly slaughtered old hen in the afternoon. Jin Zhi used half for chicken soup and the other half for spicy chicken cubes, fried to a slightly crispy and aromatic texture.

After the meal, Ye Ling took Jin Zhi’s husband’s pulse.

Following the pulse examination, Ye Ling found a pretext to send Jin Zhi’s husband away, leaving her alone with Jin Zhi.

“Doctor Ye, how is my husband’s condition?” Jin Zhi nervously inquired. Ye Ling’s expression almost betrayed a sense of awkwardness.

The issue indeed lay with Jin Zhi’s husband.

His pulse indicated a deficiency in the fire phase, potentially causing kidney deficiencies and insufficient kidney qi. This could lead to issues such as low semen temperature, low semen volume, and premature ejaculation.

Ye Ling coughed and stated, “There is a problem. I’ll prescribe some medicine for you. Get it from town, but don’t visit the pharmacy. Don’t tell anyone that I wrote the prescription.”

Ye Ling took these precautions to avoid leaving any evidence or implicating the pharmacy.

Upon hearing about the problem, Jin Zhi grew anxious.. “Doctor Ye, what’s wrong with my husband? Apart from taking medicine, what else should I be mindful of?”
