Although it was a bit unexpected, Meng Chuyue didn’t blame anyone.
It was only human nature.
After all, the Queen Mother was motivated by filial piety.
Thinking of the shelter provided by the Song Family’s Medicinal Chicken while she learned medicine to heal and save others, she gently asked, "First tell me, what illness does the elder have?"
"He has rheumatism, which is getting more severe. He can hardly get out of bed now, and many doctors have not been able to cure him. But their acupuncture skills are not very good, so I thought you might try acupuncture on my father."
Meng Chuyue nodded, "I need to see him first before making any decisions, but if it can be treated, I won’t refuse."
"That’s good, that’s good. My father also lives in Hai City, when are you free for me to pick you up?"
"I am free now, let’s go right now."
Meng Chuyue was a woman of action, especially since she truly had the time now.
Shortly thereafter, Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci followed Wang Jing’s parents to Old Mr. Xu’s home, Wang Jing’s grandfather.
Old Mr. Xu was a retired veteran. Despite being plagued by illness, he appeared optimistic and strong.
Upon hearing that Meng Chuyue had saved Wang Jing twice, he was even more enthusiastic.
Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci both liked the old man and decided to cure him.
This time, it was Shen Ci who performed the acupuncture for Old Mr. Xu.
Of course, although the acupuncture was effective for Mr. Xu’s rheumatism, the improvement was minimal.
What truly worked was the medicine they made using Space Spiritual Plants for treating rheumatism.
After the acupuncture session, Meng Chuyue gave Old Mr. Xu one of those pills.
Thirty minutes after the acupuncture session, Mr. Xu felt much better and couldn’t help but loudly praise them.
"Your medical skills are really good, I feel better than ever before, really, it doesn’t hurt at all, I truly hope it continues ."
Meng Chuyue smiled and handed him a prescription, "This is for soaking your feet. Soak them once every evening before going to sleep. We will come to perform acupuncture every three days for you, and after seven sessions, you should be completely recovered."
"Really, can I really recover completely?"
Old Mr. Xu and Wang Jing’s parents were thrilled.
Before Wang Jing’s parents could speak, Mr. Xu said, "Then can I refer my old friends and comrades-in-arms to you for treatment?"
"That’s great, I’ll call them right now. Oh, I’ll tell them to find you, just tell me, when are you usually available?"
"We are generally available after six in the evening. Please have your friends come and find us at the Blue Sky Fast Food Main Store near the entrance of Hai University during that time."
Mr. Xu was surprised, "So you are those two top students from the college entrance exam, no wonder, no wonder. Good, good."
When saying goodbye, Mr. Xu handed Shen Ci a red envelope saying it was the consultation fee.
Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue did not refuse.
If it was too much, they could use it for charity.
Starting from the next evening after six, Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue began seeing many patients with complicated and diverse diseases.
At first, it was all referrals from Mr. Xu.
Later, these patients started referring others.
Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci provided effective and low-key treatment.
They made quite a bit of money.
And also gained quite a reputation.
Then, almost during the winter break, they were flamboyantly accused of practicing medicine without a license.
At that time, Meng Chuyue was performing acupuncture on an old lady suffering from high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol.
Captain Lee came in with a team, regretfully saying, "Sorry, someone reported that you are practicing medicine without a license."
Captain Lee really wanted to warn Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue in advance.
Unfortunately, he only knew the landline number of the Blue Sky Fast Food Main Store.
The landline had been disconnected, and he couldn’t get through.
Worried that his subordinates would not handle the situation well, he had to come personally.
Looking at Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue, his expression was stern, but his eyes were full of apology—Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue knew too well the dilemma he was in.
They were very grateful.
However, to tease the whistleblower, they deliberately kept a straight face.
