This Life, I'm Raising the Right Man

The next day, as Taoyao Square just opened, old customers quickly came rushing in.

Zhou Wangshu and Su Yaoguang were responsible for greeting these old guests. However, as agreed before, the shop would not operate for the next half month. Some of the previous inventory could be sold out, after which there would be no more sales; customers wanting more goods would have to wait until half a month later. However, customers could first sign an order, and the orders would be fulfilled based on priority after half a month.

”I want a hundred bottles of scar removal cream.”

Zhou Wangshu was just about to write out the order when he heard that the woman wanted a hundred bottles. He said, ”Sorry, we have a rule that every person can buy only up to five bottles. We won’t sell more than that.”

”Your boss is really interesting, I’m supporting your business, how can you push your business away?” The woman laughed awkwardly.

”You aren’t buying so many bottles of scar removal cream for personal use, but planning to take them elsewhere to sell, aren’t you? If you sell them at the original price, it wouldn’t matter, but you’re so greedy, you’re surely planning to sell them at a higher price.” Zhou Wangshu twirled the pen in his hand, eyeing the cunning-looking woman in front of him. ”We won’t engage in your business, you may leave now.”

”Alright, alright, then sell me five bottles.”

”Now, we won’t even sell those five bottles.” Zhou Wangshu said calmly, ”Next...”

”Boss Su, what’s up with your husband? How can you push business away like this?” The woman shouted loudly, calling for Su Yaoguang.

While organizing the goods, Su Yaoguang said, ”His intent is my intent. If he doesn’t sell to you, looking for me is useless.”

”Fine, I won’t buy them, I’ll go to Fenghua Pavilion next door. Although their effectiveness is somewhat lesser, their prices are cheaper, unlike you guys who don’t even do business when there is one.”

As the woman left, the customer behind reminded Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu, ”Boss Su, Little Manager Zhou, Fenghua Pavilion recently launched rouge powders that can effectively cover up facial blemishes. Their young owner, Jiang Yihuan, has also developed a makeup style called rose makeup, deliberately placing rose petals on the cheeks, which has become quite popular!”

”Thank you, Sister, for the reminder. But in my view, no matter how good the cosmetics are, they aren’t as important as skincare products. We have to maintain a good foundation ourselves and then use makeup to enhance, so that we can address both the root and the surface. Sister, your complexion doesn’t seem very good lately, haven’t you taken good care of your body, perhaps resulting in some deficiency?” Su Yaoguang said to the woman.

”Ha-ha... Since you were gone, my waist has been getting thicker. It’s rather unbearable, so I used some crude countryside methods to lose weight, but my waist didn’t get thinner, and my complexion worsened.” The woman admitted a bit sheepishly.

”Jing’er, Jing’er...” Su Yaoguang called toward the backyard, ”Come out and take a look at Sister Fang.”

Jiang Jing came out carrying a medical kit, placed it on the counter nearby, and went toward the woman across.

”Boss Su, has Doctor Jiang’s birthmark on her face faded quite a bit?” A nearby customer asked.

Su Yaoguang had noticed before, and after asking Jiang Jing, she learned that during the consultations with those patients, she stumbled upon an herbal remedy that turned out to be the key detoxifying agent for her.

Nowadays, Jiang Jing drinks the medicine daily, and unless unforeseen, she can completely clear the residual toxins from her body within half a year, becoming a clean and beautiful young girl.

”You guess.” Su Yaoguang retained the mystery.

”Boss Su, you’re quite mischievous, only showing your girlish side at moments like this. Usually, you act mature and straightforward, even more so than many men.”

Jiang Jing examined Mrs. Fang and said, ”Sister Fang, you should stop trying to lose weight recently.”

”Why? You are back, and I was just thinking of buying a weight-loss package from you! Last time, Wang Chunhua lost forty pounds here in no time and became so slender as if she were a different person. By the way, upon your return, you wouldn’t know, but Wang Chunhua has just found a wealthy husband and is about to marry soon. Her childhood sweetheart regrets it bitterly, crying and begging her to change her mind!”

”Wasn’t her childhood sweetheart married to someone else?” A woman nearby said, ”We all knew that.”

”During the recent epidemic, you stayed at your mother’s house and never heard the rest of the story.” Mrs. Fang said mysteriously, ”The shameless man married his cousin, who cheated on him, and got pregnant. He caught them when he came back from hunting, the adulterer didn’t even have time to put his pants on, running bare from the backyard, getting caught right by villagers. The shameless man divorced her on the spot and then cried and shouted for Wang Chunhua to change her mind. The Wang Family always cherishes their daughter, unwilling to let her suffer such wrongs, drove that man away. During the epidemic, we all didn’t dare enter town, but the village still had its excitement, quite lively overall.”

After Jiang Jing and a few women finished gossiping, Mrs. Fang remembered to ask Jiang Jing about the reasons for not losing weight, so Jiang Jing then explained, ”The reason your waist is bigger is not because you gained weight, but because you’re pregnant.”

Mrs. Fang looked blankly at Jiang Jing: ”What did you say?”

Jiang Jing repeated: ”You’re pregnant, already three months along.”

”I’m pregnant?” Mrs. Fang clutched the aunt next to her. ”Aunt, did you hear?”

The aunt congratulated her: ”You’ve hoped for this for so long, finally your wish has come true. All these years, you’ve taken a lot of bitter medicine, now finally everything comes to fruition.”

”How could it be so smooth this time, did you take some miracle medicine?” Someone asked nearby, ”My daughter-in-law has been married for three years, yet there’s no movement in her belly.”

”Before the epidemic, I consulted Doctor Jiang to regulate my body, and she prescribed pills according to my health conditions. I took them on schedule without stopping,” Mrs. Fang said excitedly, ”I must go tell my family this good news.”

”Wait a minute...” Jiang Jing called her back. ”You’ve been depleted lately, you must adjust well. I’ll write a menu for you, follow what I write to eat, and don’t attempt reckless weight loss anymore.”

”Okay, I’ll listen to Doctor Jiang.”

After Mrs. Fang left, everyone then remembered Jiang Jing solving the epidemic issue that even the city’s doctors couldn’t cure, and they saw her with new eyes.

Jiang Jing is very young, which makes it easy for people to view her as a child. However, now they deeply realize she isn’t an ordinary little girl, but rather a very skilled physician.

In the past, women suffered various taboos when seeking diagnosis since gender segregation exists, and even a doctor is expected to be a man, many symptoms are difficult to bring up. Now it’s good, there’s a highly skilled female doctor available, no matter what kind of condition, she can be approached, there’s no need to hide and let small ailments grow into major problems.

”Doctor Jiang, could you check my pulse for peace of mind...”

”Me too, I want it.”
