Chapter 26 Illegal Medical Practice
The water in the rough porcelain bowl was still steaming slightly.
The maid's legs trembled slightly. "The water is fine, drink it quickly, it'll get cold soon."
While speaking, his eyes were fixed on the tips of his shoes, and he didn't dare to look up at all.
"I didn't say there was anything wrong with the water."
Jiang Mianmian put the water bowl in the corner and ignored her. Instead, she took off her backpack and took out a water pouch. "Sister-in-law, drink this. It's a special medicine that can replenish your strength."
"Oh, thank you, Auntie... thank you, Dr. Jiang!"
Everyone else was just watching the show, but the woman had just fallen ill and knew best how dangerous her condition was!
She was already out of breath and dizzy, but this girl pricked herself and slowly recovered! This was no ordinary female doctor; the Ye family was right, she was a miracle doctor!
She held up the water pouch and drank the medicine inside clean, not wanting to leave a single drop. "Divine doctor, how much silver is needed for the medicine and consultation fee?"
Manager Wu's heart tightened.
He had dealt with Jiang Mianmian quite a bit in the past six months, and he knew that girl's personality all too well—she was incredibly cunning!
Any food or recipes he sells are extremely expensive, and they're all priced within his budget, causing him considerable financial pain each time!
These medicines were probably obtained from somewhere, and the doctor deliberately pretended to be a "miracle doctor" so he could sell them at a high price.
Jiang Ranran didn't show much disappointment when her plan failed. She had also noticed that the brat was indeed different from usual.
She deliberately leaned closer and said with a smile, "Auntie, my sister isn't a doctor. Helping you was just a favor. Why would she ask for a consultation fee or medicine? If she did, you would be the one harming her."
"What do you mean by that? Do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't appreciate kindness? Do you think I'm as heartless as you, wanting to harm my benefactor?"
The woman looked displeased and spoke rudely.
The renowned doctor Jiang calls her "sister-in-law," but this cook who made the poisoned porridge calls her "auntie"! She must be blind; does she think she's that old?
Jiang Mianmian let her perform, and quietly put the bowl of water into the warehouse.
The maid, who had been pacing anxiously, trying to take advantage of the chaos to steal the water bowl, widened her eyes in disbelief: "Ah, how come the water bowl seems to have disappeared in the blink of an eye? What happened?"
Luckily, the woman didn't drink it, otherwise I would have been in a terrible situation!
The maid breathed a sigh of relief and glared at Jiang Ranran resentfully.
Jiang Ranran was busy scheming in her mind and had no idea about all this. As if she hadn't heard the curses in the woman's words, she answered her very patiently, "Sister is not a doctor and does not have a doctor's license. If I accept your money, I will go to jail."
Everyone gasped, suddenly remembering that such a provision did exist in the laws of Rongguo.
Doctors who practice medicine must pass a unified examination and obtain a medical license before they can practice medicine. However, family-run medical households are hereditary and have their own separate assessments. This policy protects ordinary people like them!
However, in rural villages, there are always some itinerant doctors and quacks. People just want cheap and convenient services, and it's a win-win situation where the authorities won't investigate unless the people complain.
However, if someone reports it to the authorities, practicing medicine illegally will not only result in the confiscation of all income and a fine, but also imprisonment. In more serious cases, the offender may be exiled to extremely cold or hot places!
Jiang Mianmian was slightly surprised. So that was what she was planning. But what she said was right. Taking money would confirm the act of 'practicing medicine illegally'. Even if Jiang Ranran didn't secretly report it to the authorities, there would inevitably be other people in the crowd with ulterior motives who would report it.
The imperial court hasn't collapsed yet, but there will inevitably be officials from the government who will come and arrest her.
The woman looked at her, then at Jiang Ranran, and asked cautiously, "Dr. Jiang, is what she said true? You really don't have a medical license?"
"it is true."
Jiang Mianmian had no intention of hiding it.
The onlookers, who had originally intended to seek her medical help, all took a few steps back.
Practicing medicine without a license can be deadly!
The women who had blocked the counter earlier also changed their expressions.
One of them hesitated and said, "That strange-looking thing you just made for Sister Xianghe, won't it cause any problems?"
It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, because once she did, Lin Xianghe felt a chill of fear, and her body seemed to start itching again.
She resisted the urge to scratch, and glared at the young woman who had spoken, "Xiuyun, you're not allowed to talk to Doctor Jiang like that!"
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Mianmian, seemingly puzzled, "However, the method of treating the illness just now was indeed unusual. Is it a newly emerging method of treating illness? The effect is really good."
Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but glance at the girl named Xianghe a few more times.
She expresses doubts in a way that makes people feel comfortable; she's not simple!
"Although I don't have a medical license, I have learned a few novel methods from a hermit master and I also know some prescriptions. The treatment I just gave you is called an injection. The medicine is injected directly into your body and can circulate throughout your body via the bloodstream, so it works very quickly."
Jiang Mianmian explained it to her and also shared it with everyone else.
The sooner the seeds of modern medicine are planted, the better. When natural disasters strike, it may be able to save more lives. "If we go to get medicine and brew it, another half hour will have passed, and you might..."
I didn’t say anything else after that.
Everyone could clearly see Lin Xianghe's condition at that time, and naturally knew the consequences. She might die here before the medicine was even ready!
Manager Wu felt a wave of fear. Regardless of whether the woman's problem was caused by drinking the porridge, if she died in the building, he would definitely be unable to continue as the manager!
He immediately bowed to Jiang Mianmian, saying, "In any case, Miss Jiang is very righteous, and I am extremely grateful. I will never refuse any request in the future!"
"Then give me a superior room first, the kind that's free."
Jiang Mianmian added, "I'll stay for a maximum of two days."
Two nights should be enough for her to ransack the entire county. She has silver in her warehouse, but why wouldn't she save money where she can?
Shopkeeper Wu: "..."
I knew that brat would always take advantage of me!
He gritted his teeth, "Fine!"
Seeing that things were getting out of control, Jiang Ranran became anxious and said sarcastically, "It's only been a few days, but you've really become more capable."
"Unlike you, you're now a cook at Ruyi Restaurant. I remember you weren't very good at cooking before, were you?"
Jiang Mianmian deliberately brought up the past, "Last time, you burned down the kitchen trying to learn how to make stir-fried squid from me, right? In the end, I had to run to Manager Wu's place and sell the recipe for stir-fried squid to earn money to rebuild it..."
"elder sister!"
Jiang Ranran looked embarrassed, her eyes quickly filling with tears. "Is my sister deliberately trying to rub salt in my wounds? Nobody is born a good cook. What's wrong with me wanting to practice more and earn more money to help support the family?"
With just a few words, he created an image of himself as sensible and hardworking!
A hint of admiration appeared in everyone's eyes, while their gazes toward Jiang Mianmian held a hint of disapproval.
How could an older sister casually bring up her younger sister's affairs? Little did she know that Jiang Ranran had almost accused her sister of practicing medicine without a license!
One may only be somewhat shameful, while the other could face imprisonment!
Lin Xianghe was already biased towards Jiang Mianmian, who had saved her, so she snorted, "Of course it's not wrong for you to practice, but you should take responsibility for your own mistakes! How can you expect your sister to sell her body to cover your losses?"
