Chapter 39 How Much is a Human Life Worth?
Wang Tao had been worried about Wen Rui's condition, and now that she had her hands on her, she could clearly feel the changes in her body.
In his excitement, he even spoke without thinking.
Fortunately, Li Yi remained relatively sober.
He glanced at Wen Rui's chest, coughed lightly, and said, "Sister Wang, I think I'll refrain from touching her."
"Oh dear, the lump here has shrunk a lot. I don't know if it's just my imagination. You should come and check it out."
Li Yi was too embarrassed to make a move, but Xu Yourong was much less polite.
Upon hearing Wang Tao's loud shouts, she immediately reached out and personally checked Wen Rui's condition.
Then, he froze.
Xu Yourong had thought that Li Yi's acupuncture would definitely have an effect, but she didn't expect the effect to be so obvious.
After just one acupuncture treatment, Wenrui's breast lump has shrunk by more than half.
This is absolutely amazing!
At this moment, Wang Tao was so excited that she didn't know what to do.
Seeing that Li Yi was still standing there without moving, she couldn't help but say, "Little Li, come and touch it!"
"Wang Tao! I'll touch your grandma!"
Wen Rui, who lay on the bed without saying a word the whole time, was trying to deceive herself.
But now, she couldn't hold back any longer.
After slapping Wang Tao and Xu Yourong's hands away, Wen Rui abruptly pulled up the blanket and covered herself with it again.
"Hey, Xiao Liu, be gentle! Xiao Li just finished getting acupuncture, you absolutely mustn't touch him again."
Wang Tao quickly reached out and cupped the air in her hands, as if afraid of touching some treasure.
Upon hearing this, Wen Rui stiffened and became very cautious in her movements.
Seeing their expressions, Li Yi was both amused and exasperated.
"Sister Wang, there's no need to be so delicate. The treatment is complete now. Sister Wen can put her clothes on, just don't take a shower for the time being. I'll go outside and wait for everyone."
.......
[Ding! Patient satisfaction score +3000!]
In the living room, Li Yi waited for a while before finally hearing the long-awaited notification sound.
"Wow! I earned 3,000 satisfaction points in one go. If I continue with five more acupuncture treatments, won't I earn another 15,000 points?"
He was thinking this with great joy when Wenrui, who had already dressed, came out of the bedroom.
"Sister Wen, are you feeling unwell anywhere right now?"
Upon seeing Li Yi and recalling the treatment scene from earlier, Wen Rui felt quite uncomfortable.
However, this time, she didn't feel as disgusted with him as before.
"I don't feel uncomfortable at all."
"That's good." Li Yi nodded. "As long as you receive five more acupuncture treatments, Sister Wen, you will be completely cured."
Five more times?
Upon hearing this, Wen Rui's face immediately darkened.
However, since everyone has already seen what they should and shouldn't have seen, it doesn't seem to matter much if they see it a few more times.
Thanks.
After biting her lip and uttering two words, Wen Rui took out a bank card from her pocket. "This is your consultation fee. The password is six eights."
Li Yi was taken aback when he saw this, then quickly shook his head, "Sister Wen, you are Sister Wang's good friend, so you are also my friend. Friends help each other out, how can I accept money? Please take it back."
To everyone's surprise, Wen Rui threw the bank card on the ground and uttered four words, "Take it or leave it!"
What's going on here?
Li Yi was stunned.
Fortunately, Wang Tao quickly bent down and picked up the bank card, then put it into Li Yi's pocket herself.
"Oh, Li, you can't let all this work go to waste. This is a small token of my appreciation from Xiao Liu, please accept it."
As she spoke, she gave Li Yi a wink.
Upon hearing this, Li Yi could only helplessly put the card into his pocket.
Although I don't know exactly how much money is in this card, it must be quite a lot.
Seeing this, Wen Rui's expression softened.
"Alright, things have finally come to a satisfactory conclusion." Wang Tao clapped her hands, beaming with joy.
However, the next moment, Wen Rui snorted coldly, "Hmph! End what? I haven't settled accounts with that murderer yet."
Wang Tao was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant. "That's right! We can't just let the matter of Huichuntang go like this. Now that Xiao Liu's illness has been treated, let's go find her and settle the score."
Li Yi was also indignant about the mistake of getting the wrong medicine. "I'll go with you to take a look."
Xu Yourong had nothing else to do at the moment, so she simply followed along.
So the four of them set off together.
After half an hour.
Huichun Hall.
"That's her!"
Wang Yingnan was sitting in his shop, idly waiting for customers to come in, when suddenly three people barged in.
Two of them were stunningly beautiful, so she was quite impressed with them.
"Hey, you're here again. Did the medicine you got last time not work? I warned you before, there are a lot of scammers out there. If you have any problems, you should come to us for treatment."
"Pah! You have the nerve to say that? If you hadn't given me the wrong medicine last time, my illness would have been cured long ago."
Wenrui gets furious whenever this is mentioned.
If the other party hadn't given me the wrong medicine, I wouldn't have been exposed so naked.
Wang Tao was also indignant, "Just because we didn't see a doctor here, you deliberately prescribed the wrong medicine. How is that any different from a murderer!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yingnan's expression immediately changed. "What do you mean by 'the wrong medicine'? Your own prescription didn't work, yet you're here making baseless accusations!"
Wen Rui took out the last packet of medicinal herbs left in the house and slammed it on the counter. "The herbs you got last time are still here. You still dare to argue?"
Wang Yingnan naturally knew whether she had given the wrong medicine last time.
But now that things have come to this, she can only stubbornly deny it. "Hmph! Who knows where you got that packet of medicine from and you're just saying I grabbed it? You haven't even cured your own illness, and you're trying to blame others? No way!"
"You...you're being completely unreasonable!" Wang Tao's chest heaved with anger.
"Tch! If you have any evidence, then produce it. If not, go cool off somewhere else and don't affect my shop's business."
"Pah! What bullshit evidence! Peach, stop wasting your breath on her. Let's smash her shop today."
Wen Rui usually seems quite calm, but when she gets angry, she's fiercer than anyone else.
Seeing that the other party did not admit it, she immediately rolled up her sleeves and was about to take action.
However, the burly Wang Yingnan was not intimidated at all, saying, "Try smashing one!"
"Let's give it a try!"
Just then, an old woman with gray hair and a thin figure walked in.
"Hey? Xiaonan, what are you doing? Why are you arguing with the customer?"
Upon seeing the person who came, a hint of panic flashed across Wang Yingnan's face. "Mom, it's nothing. Someone just came to our shop to cause trouble. I'll chase them away right now. You can go back inside and rest."
Seeing that the other party still didn't repent, Wang Tao became even angrier. "Who caused trouble? You clearly got the wrong medicine and almost killed someone. You have to give us an explanation today."
Wang Yingnan knew very well that there were some things she could deny, but she couldn't hide them from her mother.
The best solution right now is to get rid of them as soon as possible.
So she quickly said, "You just want compensation, right? Fine, I'll pay it. Name your price."
"Pah! Who cares about your money? Besides, can a human life be bought with money?"
