Chapter 221 Medical Clinic Opens
The next day, the clinic "Renhetang" officially opened in the morning light. This name carries Chen Xi's deep expectations. She hopes that this can become a place that truly saves the dying and heals the wounded, and bring more warmth and hope to the world.
In the first three days after its opening, Renhetang treated a hundred patients for free every day. The news spread quickly through the streets and alleys like a spring breeze. Both the poor people with limited funds and those who did not want to spend money on medical treatment flocked to the door of Renhetang, hoping to get treatment from the legendary female doctor.
At the entrance of the clinic, Chen Xi, dressed in a neat and tidy men's suit, stood on the steps, looking very heroic.
Behind her, Mo Hua Mo Qin also changed into men's clothes. Their attire was completely different from before, and they looked more capable and decisive.
"Please line up quietly and go to the two assistants behind me to get your number plates. We will provide free medical treatment to the first 100 people, free of charge. Please be sure to observe the order, otherwise we will not issue you number plates."
Chen Xi's voice was clear and powerful, and whispers of approval immediately rang out from the crowd. They then quickly formed a long, neat queue, and no one dared to cut in line, fearing that they would miss this rare opportunity.
After giving the instructions, Chen Xi turned around and walked into the clinic, leaving Mo Hua and Mo Qin in charge of maintaining order and issuing cards outside the door.
Inside the room, Chen Xi and Fang Wenfu sat on either side, and patients were treated according to their odd and even numbers. The whole process was efficient and orderly.
"I'm afraid I'll be busy until sunset today."
Chen Xi thought to himself that three consecutive days of free consultations meant that many people who failed to get a number had to wait for the next or third day.
"Master, thank you for your hard work today. I have caused you a lot of trouble in the past two days."
Chen Xi knew very well that if it wasn't for the opening of his own clinic, Fang Wenfu, the reclusive master, would never come out easily.
Upon hearing this, Fang Wenfu unceremoniously asked Chen Xi to prepare a sumptuous meal as compensation, his words revealing the intimacy and trust between master and apprentice.
As for Mo Hua and Mo Qin changing into men's clothing, it was because Chen Xi did not need them to serve him personally on weekdays. The two felt that they were useless in daily life. When they learned that the clinic needed manpower, they took the initiative to volunteer, hoping to contribute to the clinic.
On the eve of the clinic's opening, Chen Xi even taught them the art of disguise so that they could move more conveniently during their busy schedule.
In the Chen family residence, as night fell, Chen Xi said to Mo Hua and Mo Qin, "You two have worked hard today. Go to bed early. There are still two days to go. Stay energetic."
Mo Hua Mo Qin responded with gratitude and then stepped back.
Chen Xi laid down on the bed after a day of exhaustion, thinking about every patient she had seen today. Although she was extremely tired, her heart was filled with satisfaction and joy, because all this was for the future of Renhetang. In her opinion, this hard work was worth it.
In a blink of an eye, three days passed quickly. Although the queue in front of the clinic has decreased, the promise of "first 100 free" still attracts many people. Even if they are healthy, they still want to experience this rare benefit.
On the morning of the fourth day, Chen Xi finished treating the last patient and returned home with Mo Hua and Mo Qin. Soon after, Jiang Yufeng and Jiang Li came to visit with smiles on their faces.
Seeing the two people's unconcealed joy, Chen Xi knew in his heart that the turmoil regarding Ning Shuang had finally been resolved satisfactorily.
"Look at your smiles. They're almost reaching the horizon. It looks like the matter was resolved smoothly."
Chen Xi's joking words made Jiang Yufeng smile even more brightly, and he could hardly close his mouth.
"Thanks to your help, sister-in-law. I have sent someone to the academy to invite Brother Tianyi. We will go to the 'Good Luck' restaurant opened by your second brother later. I will host a good celebration."
Jiang Yufeng's gratitude was beyond words. As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Tianyi appeared at the door at the right time.
"It seems my timing was just right."
Chen Xi greeted Xie Tianyi with a smile, his eyes sparkling with anticipation for the upcoming party.
The group moved to the private room on the second floor of the "Good Luck" restaurant. Outside the window was a bustling city, and inside the window was a warm gathering.
"Sister-in-law, Xiaoli and I want to toast you two. If it weren't for your help, perhaps we wouldn't be able to sit together so easily today!"
Jiang Yufeng raised his glass and drank it up together with Jiang Li. The aroma of wine filled the air, as if they were also toasting to this friendship and success.
"Tianyi is not good at drinking, so I took his place."
There was an unquestionable firmness in Xie Tianyi's brows. How could he let a weak woman bear the responsibility for him? So he took the initiative to raise the glass, drank the amber liquid in one gulp, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Fortunately, the fruit wine here was brewed by Chen Xi himself. It had a mild alcohol content and a mellow aroma with a hint of sweetness. Seeing Xie Tianyi looking relaxed and not feeling uncomfortable after drinking it, Chen Xi's heart was finally at ease, and a look of relief flashed in his eyes.
"Sister-in-law, didn't you see how embarrassed Ning Shuang was when she was exposed? The expression on her face was more distorted than a bitter gourd. Even my aunt's face, which was always as warm as spring breeze, turned gloomy in an instant."
Jiang Yufeng's vivid description, coupled with his exaggerated body movements, made Chen Xi burst out laughing, with a happy light flashing in his eyes.
"And Ningshuang's lover almost became a victim of her escape. If we hadn't arrived in time and uncovered the truth, I'm afraid he would have died in injustice now."
There was a hint of relief in Jiang Yufeng's words, but he also revealed his regret for the fickleness of the world.
It turned out that Ningshuang had cunningly fabricated lies and framed her lover for evil intentions. In anger, the Jiang family threw the innocent man into a cold prison.
Jiang Li is a thoughtful person. She deliberately reveals the news of her impending release to Ningshuang, cleverly taking advantage of human weaknesses to make Ningshuang reveal her true colors.
Ningshuang made a desperate attempt and went to the county government office alone, trying to use the power of the Jiang family to smooth things over in order to seek a last glimmer of hope.
In the dim cell, facing her haggard lover, Ning Shuang's tears fell like pearls. She spoke earnestly and even mentioned the non-existent child, trying to touch the other party's heartstrings and buy time for herself.
However, all this did not escape Jiang Yufeng's sharp eyes. He watched everything silently in the dark and had already made a plan in his mind.
Jiang Yufeng and Jiang Li brought Old Lady Jiang and quietly listened in the adjacent cell. When Old Lady Jiang heard about Ningshuang's hypocrisy and ruthlessness, she became furious and no longer trusted any of Ningshuang's excuses.
In the end, the man and woman who attempted to get away with it by deception were imprisoned according to law, and justice was served.
Ningshuang's vicious plan backfired on her. In anger and despair, her lover slapped her to the ground, hitting her abdomen so hard that the unborn life disappeared.
