Chapter 213 You're talking nonsense
When Ye Xiaoxiao returned home, she took the calligraphy He Jing had written for her, had it framed in a wooden frame at a shop in town, and brought it back to the clinic.
There are no helpers in the shop now, so she can only wait for He Jing to bring her lunch at noon so she can hang it up.
She leaned the signboard against the wall, clapped her hands, and looked at the elegant characters—Xiao Xiao Women's Clinic!
I felt a surge of joy, even happier than if I had found a hundred taels of silver on the street!
She finally has her own clinic!
Just then, a mother and daughter pushed and shoved each other as they arrived at the entrance of the clinic.
"Mother, I'm not going to the clinic!" The seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl resisted fiercely, her face showing reluctance, and refused to step into the clinic.
"You've come all the way to town! You think you can just not go? It's too late for you to stay home all day pretending to be sick and being lazy. You absolutely have to go to the clinic today!"
The woman gripped the girl's thin arm tightly and forcefully pushed her into the clinic.
"Hurry up! There's so much chores to do at home. After you finish reading this, go home and get to work!"
After saying that, he pressed the person down into the consultation chair.
"Where's the doctor? Doctor!" the woman shouted at the top of her lungs.
Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at the mother and daughter and said, "That's me."
"Huh? It's just a young girl? A girl like you can even treat illnesses? Is she any good?" the woman grumbled.
"Mom, shall we go home? We don't want to watch anymore." The petite girl was about to stand up when her mother pressed her down.
Ye Xiaoxiao gestured for her to place her hand on the pulse pillow, but the thin girl hesitated to move.
"I told you to put it on, stop dawdling!" The woman grabbed her daughter's hand and placed it on the table.
The girl lowered her head, her eyes darting away, not daring to look at Ye Xiaoxiao, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
This female doctor probably won't discover anything, right?
Hearing the frail girl's inner thoughts and feeling the pulse throbbing in her fingertips, Ye Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment before making a decision.
It seems this girl is keeping it a secret from her family.
The woman said impatiently, "Doctor, just prescribe some medicine already. She's been saying her stomach isn't feeling well lately, but I bet she's faking it. She has so much work to do at home, in the fields—"
"She is currently pregnant, and the unstable pregnancy is causing abdominal pain, so she is not suitable for farm work. Let her rest."
Ye Xiaoxiao interrupted the chattering woman.
"So what if you're pregnant? Back in the day..."
The woman suddenly realized what was happening and, like a hen with its neck being strangled, couldn't utter a sound.
Shock, astonishment, anger... his face displayed a complex array of expressions.
Immediately afterwards, a roar erupted throughout the entire clinic.
The woman frowned, her eyes wide, clearly not believing Ye Xiaoxiao's words: "What did you say? You're talking nonsense!"
Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at the wall, and for a moment, she wondered if the plaque she had just leaned against would fall down.
Upon hearing Ye Xiaoxiao's words, the girl sitting to the side turned pale, lowered her head timidly, and remained silent.
"What did you say? My daughter is still a virgin, how could she be pregnant? You brat, do you even know how to diagnose a disease?"
"If your medical skills are so bad, then stay home and be a good wife and mother! What kind of quack doctor are you? Bah! I'm going to smash your reputation today!"
Ye Xiaoxiao: No, no, no, I haven't even hung up my sign yet!
Her roar echoed out of the female doctor's clinic, and passersby began to murmur among themselves.
Some curious onlookers even stopped at the door to watch.
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the growing crowd outside and said calmly, "If I were you, I wouldn't be yelling."
She finally understood: the girl in front of her was not yet engaged. Just now, she had thought the two of them were mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
However, the woman was emotionally agitated and disregarded her daughter's feelings, shouting herself hoarse in the lobby of the clinic.
As soon as Ye Xiaoxiao finished speaking, the woman clearly noticed the people at the door.
A pair of furious eyes glared at him as he yelled, "What are you looking at? It's none of your business!"
Some of the bolder ones ignored her tantrum and stayed at the clinic entrance to support Ye Xiaoxiao.
"Dr. Xiao is very famous in our town. If you don't trust him, you can just find another doctor to see you."
"Exactly, is it really necessary to make such a fuss here?"
"Yes, even babies who are about to die can be saved by Dr. Xiao Xiao."
"It can also help women with difficult labor deliver safely."
"She has a kind heart and even helped the little beggar treat his dislocated bone!"
"Dr. Xiao Xiao is like a living saint in our town. Everyone who comes to see her admires her. This is the first time I've heard of anyone trying to ruin her reputation."
Hearing the commotion, Bai Qing from next door pushed through the crowd at the door and squeezed in.
"Dr. Xiao, are you alright?" he asked with concern.
"It's alright, you can go back now. Be careful someone might buy medicine and not be able to find you." Ye Xiaoxiao gave Bai Qing a reassuring look.
"Of course she's fine, it's my daughter who's in trouble!"
Seeing the woman's agitation, Bai Qing spoke up to soothe her, "Auntie, there must be some misunderstanding... Doctor Xiao Xiao's medical skills are superb..."
The woman's neck veins bulged: "This is none of your business! You must have been bewitched by her seductive appearance, and you're just saying nice things about her!"
Just as Bai Qing was about to explain, someone next door needed to buy medicine, so he could only give Ye Xiaoxiao an apologetic look and hurried over.
The onlookers were still discussing how wonderful Ye Xiaoxiao was.
The woman's chest heaved violently, clearly the words of the crowd had only fueled her anger. Unable to contain her rage, she flung the pulse pillow that Ye Xiaoxiao had placed on the table away.
"Hmph! Her medical skills are superb? Bah!"
The woman pointed angrily at Ye Xiaoxiao and glared at the crowd, saying:
"Heh—what a joke! Don't I know my own daughter? She's just faking illness to avoid work. I brought her here today to expose her."
"But this so-called 'living Buddha' of yours actually diagnosed my daughter as pregnant, slandering her chastity! She's not even married yet, how could she be pregnant? Isn't this a huge joke?"
As soon as the woman finished speaking, the crowd at the door erupted in an uproar.
The way they looked at the woman changed.
This lady, didn't you ever have any doubts about your daughter?
They "kindly" reminded him:
"Well, Dr. Xiao has no grudge against your daughter, so how could she possibly slander her innocence without any reason?"
"That's right. Doctor Xiao Xiao is the most amiable person. I would never believe that she would ruin your daughter's reputation for no reason."
"Go back and ask your daughter properly. Stop wailing and howling here. Even if you make a scene that everyone knows about, it won't damage Dr. Xiao Xiao's reputation. It's your daughter who will suffer. How will she ever be able to face people again?"
Seeing that everyone was siding with Ye Xiaoxiao, the woman stomped her feet in anger, veins bulging between her brows.
Filled with rage and needing an outlet, she spotted something leaning against the wall, strode over, and kicked it.
Ye Xiaoxiao rushed over, but it was too late to snatch the plaque.
