Chapter 686: 686. Does it work or not? [Two chapters combined]_1 Chapter 686: 686. Does it work or not? [Two chapters combined]_1 Zhang Yanping: …what do you mean by no other meaning?

“I didn’t say you had any other meaning…” he muttered impatiently, only to see the middle-aged men across from him shifting uncomfortably on their seats as if he were being weird about it.

Zhang Yanping: …How annoying!

Just then, the middle-aged woman’s eyes were fixed earnestly on a red-bricked house ahead, and she quietly asked the man beside her, “Is it there? Didn’t your friend’s patient friend say it’s in this village clinic? There’s a cross on it.”

Zhang Yanping looked closely: Wasn’t that the village clinic?

Upon further thought, no wonder they were all so sneaky.

In an instant, he understood the odd behavior of the others after they got on the bus, and as he looked them over one by one–the three burly men and the middle-aged woman beside them with a nervous and complicated expression–he sighed:

“So, you’re here for Doctor Guo!”

They were all men; he could understand their discomfort–the auntie must have brought her husband to see the doctor for that embarrassing problem, right? Oh my, why did they wait so many years!

Just look, they’ve gotten old!

And then he looked at the three men–one by one, they seemed capable of putting up a fight, but who would’ve thought they were all but silver guns with wax heads!

Tsk, tsk, tsk!

As his gaze swept over them, the people beside him grew even more tense.

Seeing that the bus was about to stop, the middle-aged man mustered some courage, pulled a smile, and forced it out stiffly.

“Fellow, are you from this village, too?”

Zhang Yanping grunted, “Sort of, you’re here for medicine too, right? Sigh, I understand.”

The other party obviously didn’t want to admit it outright, so they quickly shook their head: “Erm… yes… and no… oh well, it’s complicated, we’re relatives of that family, just came here to visit…”

To buy medicine is to buy medicine, why bring up relatives–Zhang Yanping started to sympathize:

“Stop there, I get it; a doctor like Guo is rare! Come on, we’re fated today, I’ll put in a good word for you.”

Otherwise, Guo Dong might not have any medicine left to sell.

Besides, Zhang Yanping felt a certain delicacy about it–the two younger ones aside, this man looked to be over fifty and was only now getting this problem checked out. Who knew if his body was still up to the task?

He had to bear witness for Doctor Guo and remind them that growing weak with age is normal; you can’t blame the doctor for that.

Looking at the auntie, with her shrunken and weather-beaten appearance, he guessed she hadn’t had an easy time over the years.

The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, then became happy:

“Ah, we’d feel so embarrassed, it’s just a family matter… but brother, it’s great that you’re here to help us plead…”

Zhang Yanping, who had been addressed as “big brother,” subconsciously touched his face–puh! The internet said black doesn’t show old, how come he kept getting called big brother?

Can’t they see? Zhang Yanping is twenty-eight, still in the bloom of youth!

They chatted as they got off the bus.

Standing on this familiar ground, Zhang Yanping finally recovered the feeling of freedom he had in the village. So, he called out in front of the low fence:

“Doctor Guo, I’ve brought you a few patients.”

“Hold on!” Guo Dong also called out from inside, “Just come in.”

The low courtyard door was pushed open, and Zhang Yanping walked in, familiar with the place, and called out:

“Come on, take a look at these four patients; they seem to be from out of town, not an easy trip–sell them some medicine if you have any to spare!”

At the same time, he teased her, “I was supposed to help market your skills, but I didn’t expect your reputation to spread so quickly that people are coming from afar to seek medical treatment.”

Guo Dong, who was in the small room preparing medicine, poured out the powdered medicine and briskly turned around, saying:

“What reputation do I have? Oh right, when did you get back? Didn’t you say you were off on a break?”

Before Zhang Yanping could reply, she looked at the middle-aged woman entering the door and exclaimed in surprise:

“Mom?”

…

Mom?

Zhang Yanping was stunned.

He looked at the middle-aged woman, then took a closer look at Guo Dong, and indeed found some similar traces on their faces.

And to think of all the messed-up thoughts he had before…

How to put it, there’s only one thought now–this society has no place for me!

Fortunately, after some reflection, he hadn’t said anything that shouldn’t have been said, and only then did he slowly relax. Then embarrassedly smiled:

“Look at this mess; I thought you were here to see our Doctor Guo for treatment…”
