Chapter 388: Absolutely Cannot Let Her Leave

e family was immersed in immense joy because of the news, but Pan Zhi'an frowned, his expression conflicted as if he wanted to say something but held back.It wasn't until Fang Jinshu's questioning gaz...When Zong Yu heard the price of 300 wen, he had already started to frown. It was a hefty sum indeed. Three hundred wen could buy three hundred large steamed buns.

This is enough for him to eat for two or three days, even half a month.

Fang Jinshu was already reaching for her wallet. Paying for a meal is like paying a doctor's fee, she wouldn't shirk her responsibility when it came to money owed.

But this shopkeeper's words are too harsh.

Fang Jinxiu was a ruthless person who didn't speak much. She directly pulled out a silver needle from her sleeve and stabbed it into the opponent's face acupuncture point.

The shopkeeper, who had been so arrogant just moments ago, suddenly twitched uncontrollably, his limbs failing him like he was struck by a stroke. He lost all control, drool even starting to drip from the corner of his mouth.

His eyes widened in terror, he desperately tried to speak, but all that came out was...

Abba Abba Abba, Abba Abba.

Fang Jinxiu raised an eyebrow and slapped three hundred wen onto the counter with a snap.

"Uncle, I advise you to not judge people by their looks."

"Today, my dear aunt is in a rather foul mood. She saved someone's life and didn't receive any gratitude in return. Just keep babbling on for now."

"A-yu, let's go."

Just moments ago, the patrons in the shop were still pointing and whispering as they watched the show. After Fang Jinshu’s actions, when the shopkeeper was shown looking so comical, the customers immediately turned their heads away whenever her gaze swept over them, pretending they had seen nothing. They continued to eat their meals and drink their tea as if nothing had happened.

Though the shopkeeper couldn't control his twitching and numb body, his mind was clear. He knew he had kicked a hard nut to crack and regretted it deeply.

He always tried to persuade Jiuxiu not to leave, thinking that she wouldn't just abandon him for the rest of his life.

However, Fang Jinshu intentionally didn't mention that this was only temporary, and raised her foot to leave.

At that moment, a voice suddenly came from upstairs, "Doctor, please wait!"

Fang Jinxiu, hearing this, turned her head and saw that the fat old man had returned.

Just got the consultation fee, and it saves her another trip.

"Since you're already well enough to walk, why don't you settle my fee"

The shopkeeper said with his own mouth, whoever can cure you in time, will be given double the consultation fee.

"A total of five taels of silver, thank you for your business!"

Fang Jinshi reached out to the stout, elderly man. She wanted her money and wasn't being shy about it. Even though she was owed the money, her tone wasn't polite.

To my surprise, the fat old man was surprisingly good-tempered. He didn't seem to mind her attitude at all and instead smiled kindly and amiably.

"The young doctor's skills are exceptional. It was my storekeeper who was negligent just now, and I apologize on his behalf."

After saying this, the fat old man not only returned the three hundred wen she had just slapped on the counter, but also added a heavy silver ingot.

It turned out to be a ten tael silver ingot.

Fang Jinxiu was a little surprised, but due to her innate good character, the truth that "don't take money from a scoundrel" was deeply ingrained in her. The surprise only lingered in her eyes for half a second.

The large ingot in her palm and the three hundred copper coins were quickly tucked back into her bosom.

Money makes everything easier.

She immediately smiled sweetly at the portly old man, "What's there to compensate for I always respect the elderly and love children. The shopkeeper just now was also because he was worried about your health that his emotions were agitated and said a few harsh words."

"A broad-minded young man like me certainly wouldn't hold a grudge against an old person over such trivial matters."

The old man was truly taken aback by Fang Jinshi's quickness to change faces and the thickness of her skin.

Although he didn't fully understand, he figured the girl in front of him wouldn't hold a grudge over this for money's sake.

The fat old man cackled and pointed at the little boy who was still patting his chest. "Little doctor, can you help him with this"

"Having money really makes everything easier," Fang Jinxiu immediately nodded.

"No problem." With another flick of his wrist, he jabbed the shopkeeper at another acupuncture point. However, in a short while, the man regained control of his body and stopped drooling.

The shopkeeper was truly a little frightened of Fang Jinshi. As soon as he recovered, he hurriedly found an excuse to leave.

The old man had seen all sorts of people in his life, but this girl in front of him felt different. This time, his illness had resolved without a hitch, but what about the next time

Of course, the portly old man would like to cure this strange ailment of his completely, so he wouldn't be half-dead every time he ate some chicken, duck, or fish.

The little girl before him was his only hope for recovery!
