Chapter 36 The Patient Mao Mao Brought Back
She rushed out the door, only to be stunned by what she saw.
At this moment, standing in the courtyard were not only Mao Mao, but also an older, plump woman dressed in luxurious clothes, with two maids behind her.
She stepped forward in surprise and asked,
"Mao Mao, who are these people?"
Mao Mao pointed to the woman next to him and introduced her:
"Sister, this is Granny Wang. Her granddaughter is sick. Please take a look at her."
Upon hearing this, Lan Zhi was somewhat surprised. Where had Mao Mao gone all morning? Where did he bring back the patient from?
However, she didn't want to ask too many questions at this moment, so she quickly nodded to Grandma Wang and then glanced at the carriage parked outside the gate.
"Is the patient in the car?"
Grandma Wang frowned slightly, her shrewd eyes sweeping around the yard before she sighed.
"I'm getting more and more confused as I get older. How could I believe what a three-year-old child said? Sigh!"
After saying those words, she gently shook her head and turned to leave. Mao Mao quickly stepped forward and tugged at her sleeve, trying to stop her.
"Grandma Wang, Mao Mao didn't lie to you. My sister's medical skills are really high. Please let her take a look at your granddaughter!"
Granny Wang, her face contorted with grime, glanced at the courtyard once more and sighed.
“I came all the way from Binjiang Town with you, but this doesn’t look like a clinic at all. I’m afraid there’s not even a place to see patients. You’re obviously lying to me. Don’t hold me back and don’t delay me from getting my granddaughter medical treatment.”
Clearly, Granny Wang was very dissatisfied with the environment here, and also with Lan Zhi, the doctor who looked quite young.
Mao Mao pouted, looking at Lan Zhi with a wronged expression, and said shamefully:
"Sister, I'm sorry, Mao Mao has caused you trouble."
Lan Zhi ruffled his hair, then followed Granny Wang to the gate. As Granny Wang lifted the sedan curtain, she glanced at the pale-faced girl inside and said softly:
"This woman is probably menstruating. If she suffers like this every time she menstruates, she should seek medical treatment as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect her future fertility."
Hearing her words, Granny Wang stopped in her tracks as she was getting into the car. She frowned and turned to look at Lan Zhi.
"You can tell that my granddaughter has started her period?"
Lan Zhi nodded and smiled.
"Such a young girl wouldn't have any other problems. The only thing that could torment her like this is menstruation."
With the help of her maid, Granny Wang hurriedly got out of the carriage and approached her with a solemn expression.
"To be honest, my granddaughter is seventeen years old this year. Since she started menstruating at the age of thirteen, she has been in excruciating pain every time, as if she were seriously ill. Over the years, I have consulted countless doctors and taken a lot of medicine, but nothing has worked. Today, when I came out of the clinic in the city, I ran into Mao Mao. He said that his sister can cure any disease, so I thought I would try my luck."
Hearing this, Lan Zhi finally understood that Mao Mao had gone to the city clinic to find patients for her.
She looked at him with pity, then said:
"If you trust me, you can ask your granddaughter to get out of the car so I can take her pulse."
After pondering for a moment, Granny Wang nodded.
"Alright, we're already here. Xiao Hong, help Miss out of the car."
Upon hearing this, the maidservant beside her quickly walked to the carriage and gently called out to the carriage. With Xiao Hong's help, the girl in the carriage carefully got off.
Lan Zhi led her to her room, gestured for her to sit down, and then placed her hand on her pulse.
After a long pause, she removed her hand, looked up at the pale-faced girl in front of her, and said:
“Your period is irregular every month. Sometimes it lasts for ten days or more, sometimes for twenty days or more, and sometimes it doesn’t come for three to five months. Every time it comes, you have excruciating abdominal pain, feel weak all over, and are pale, as if you have a serious illness.”
The girl nodded hurriedly and replied in an extremely weak voice:
"You're right. Every time I get my period, my stomach hurts like it's being squeezed. Sister, do you have any way to help me? If this continues, I really feel like I can't go on living."
Seeing her granddaughter sobbing and wiping away tears, Grandma Wang quickly joined in.
"Girl, Huanhuan has all the symptoms you described. Do you have any way to make her feel less uncomfortable?"
Lan Zhi nodded.
"She's too weak, so I'll get her a few boxes of medicine to take home. Also, she should drink more jujube and brown sugar water, and when she has her period, she should keep her feet warm and avoid touching cold water. If she does what I say, these symptoms will be lessened next time she has her period."
"really?"
A hint of surprise finally appeared on the girl named Huanhuan's face.
"Will it really not feel this bad next time?"
Lan Zhi took out two boxes of menstrual pain relief capsules and two boxes of motherwort granules from the medicine box and placed them in front of Huanhuan.
"Start taking these two boxes of medicine today. If you feel your symptoms lessen after two days, continue taking them. Ask your family to come and get a few more boxes after seven days. You need to take them for at least a month to fully recover."
Looking at the strange medicine box, Granny Wang immediately shook her head and refused.
"What kind of medicine is this? I've never seen it before. Will it kill someone?"
Lan Zhi gave a helpless, bitter smile.
"Grandma Wang, you can't buy this medicine in the entire Northern Wei Dynasty. If you believe me, take it home and take it. If you don't believe me, I'll waive your consultation fee this time. Please go back!"
Seeing that she was getting impatient, Huanhuan held the boxes of medicine in her hand, looked up at Granny Wang,
“Grandma, I’ve taken countless medications over the years, but I haven’t gotten any better. Finally, a doctor said he could alleviate my pain. How can you doubt him? Besides, this lady seems very kind. I trust her, so I’ve taken the medicine.”
Huanhuan's words touched Lan Zhi deeply, and she gave her a gentle smile.
"Huanhuan, thank you for trusting me. I won't let you down."
Granny Wang nodded helplessly.
"How much are these four boxes of medicine?"
"Four ounces..."
"What? Why is it so expensive?"
Clearly, Granny Wang was a little surprised.
“I get medicine from the doctor in the city, and it only costs one tael of silver a month. You’ve only been taking it for seven days, and you’re already asking for four taels of silver? You’re such a heartless girl.”
Lan Zhi shrugged indifferently.
“There’s a reason why medicine is expensive. You’ve probably spent more than forty taels of silver to treat Huanhuan’s illness all these years! But all that bitter medicine was just a waste of time. These few boxes of my medicine don’t taste that bad, and they work faster. Why don’t you let Huanhuan try them?”
While Granny Wang was still hesitating, Huanhuan simply hugged the boxes of medicine to her arms.
"Grandma, quickly give me the money, I want to go home."
Granny Wang then waved helplessly to the maid behind her, who quickly placed four taels of silver on the table in front of Lan Zhi.
After seeing Granny Wang and her group off, Lan Zhi placed her hands on Mao Mao's shoulders and asked with a serious expression,
"You walked all the way to the city? Just to bring back a patient?"
Mao Mao shook his head.
“I originally planned to walk there, but I ran into Uncle Wu at the village entrance. He happened to be on his way to the city to drop someone off, so he took me there. Sister, the clinics in the city are very busy, and there are many patients. I’ve thought about it. I’ll bring one patient here every day. Over time, your business will definitely improve.”
Mao Mao's words deeply moved Lan Zhi.
"Mao Mao, you're still young. You're not allowed to do that again. We were so worried when you weren't here."
“Sister, if you think I’m too young, go and talk to Uncle Wu and ask him to take me to the city every day. I promise to bring back a patient every day.”
"No, this is too dangerous."
"It's not dangerous. There are plenty of kids like me in the city. No one will kidnap me, and no one will even glance at me. Don't worry, sister."
