Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2019 - 1982: Something Fishy

"Elder, these items truly do not meet the standards. Although they are wild, their medicinal effects have already dissipated," Qi Zhengwei said after some thought.

"Director Qi, my husband and I have been selling medicine here for many years. Our family is in real trouble right now. Please, can you accept them out of kindness, even at a lower price?" The elderly man pleaded again upon hearing this.

Qi Zhengwei, seeing this, felt a bit moved. After a brief consideration, he said, "Elder, if that’s the case, I’ll accept them. But the most I can offer is seven yuan."

"Alright, seven yuan it is. Boss Qi, you truly are a good person," the elderly man hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

"Please instruct someone to bring in the herbs from outside as well. We’ll weigh them and see how much there is," Qi Zhengwei said to the manager beside him.

"Alright." The manager nodded and promptly went out with two staff members.

In no time, two large bags of herbs were brought in and weighed.

It totaled over sixty catties, and the elderly man was paid according to the seven-yuan price.

The elderly man was moved to tears, continuously expressing words of gratitude.

"Director Qi, you really are a good person. Thank you so much," the elderly man thanked sincerely.

"It’s nothing, elder. You are a regular customer, I understand," Qi Zhengwei nodded, considering the matter resolved.

The elderly couple, having received a few hundred yuan and having expressed their thanks, was about to leave.

"Elder, please wait a moment."

It was Chen Yang who stopped the elderly couple.

"Sir, what is it..." The elder turned around, looking at Chen Yang with a puzzled expression.

"Elder, I just heard that your granddaughter is ill? What exactly is the situation? Could you explain it to me in detail?" Chen Yang asked.

The elderly man looked at Qi Zhengwei, then back at Chen Yang, and briefly explained his situation.

His granddaughter has contracted a very rare illness and is currently being treated in a hospital.

The medical expenses are very steep, and their family, with limited means, cannot afford it.

But to cure their granddaughter, they can only scrape together money for her treatment, hence the scene earlier.

"The child has had a tough life, losing her parents at a young age, and now falling ill like this. We elderly couple are at our wit’s end," the elder spoke more and more sorrowfully, continuously wiping away tears with his hands.

After hearing the elder’s account, Qi Zhengwei and Niu Ming were deeply moved.

This elderly couple appeared to be at least in their seventies or eighties, supposedly the age to enjoy life peacefully.

But for the sake of their seriously ill granddaughter, they still had to collect herbs to sell, scraping together money for her treatment, a truly hard ordeal.

Chen Yang was equally moved because as a doctor, such circumstances were hard to accept.

"Elder, we are quite destined to meet. Your granddaughter’s illness happens to be an area I’ve researched. Could I accompany you to see her? Maybe I can help cure her," Chen Yang said promptly without much thought after hearing the elder’s story.

"Ah? You, you know about this illness?"

The elder had assumed Chen Yang was merely being sympathetic and wanted more details, never expecting that Chen Yang was actually a doctor, much less thinking he intended to offer help!

"Elder, this gentleman is our village’s Divine Doctor. Many complex ailments that even experts can’t handle, Yang Zi can resolve. Rest assured, take him to see your granddaughter," Niu Ming explained with a smile.

"Ah? Really?"

The sudden joy left the elder momentarily stunned, their joyful gaze wavering between Chen Yang and Qi Zhengwei.

Qi Zhengwei had investigated Chen Yang recently, knowing that not only was he running a business, but his medical skills were also remarkable.

In the vicinity of Liuhua Village, within miles, he was already widely acknowledged as the Divine Doctor.

"Yes, elder, President Chen’s medical skills are exceptional. If he’s willing to see your granddaughter, this opportunity is not to be missed," Qi Zhengwei also said with a smile.

The elder, seeing even the reputable Director Qi of the town saying so, was overjoyed!

He nodded hastily: "Alright, alright, thank you so much."

With that, the elder hurriedly packed up his things and led Chen Yang, Niu Ming, and Qi Zhengwei away from the medicine-collecting factory, along the town’s streets, to the place where his granddaughter was being treated.

Upon arrival, Chen Yang immediately frowned.

Because this place, what kind of legitimate hospital is it?

It was plainly an unprofessional medicinal herb recycling general store, equipped with some medical devices trying to pass off as a small hospital.

"Elder, is your granddaughter being treated here?" Chen Yang scanned the surroundings and then returned his gaze to the elder.

The elder noticed Chen Yang’s unusual expression, and a guilty look appeared on his face.

"She was originally in the county hospital... but my wife and I really couldn’t afford the medical bills. A relative also said this doctor here is very skilled, so we brought her here," the elder confessed with a face full of guilt.

Clearly, he felt guilty about not providing his granddaughter with better medical care.

Both Chen Yang and Niu Ming, upon hearing this, felt a sense of unease.

Chen Yang, also from a rural background, understood the helplessness faced by impoverished families burdened with high medical fees.

They really had no other choice but to bring her to such a place, so the elderly couple couldn’t entirely be blamed.

"Please take me in to have a look," Chen Yang said, reining in his thoughts.

"Sure, sure." The elderly man nodded and then led the way up the steps, entering this shop-like "hospital."
