Together With the System to Become a Pharmacist at Once a Doctor
Chapter 144: The Knife Hiding Behind a Smile

“Auntie, this is the herb I brewed. Please try it,” said Wang Yao.

“OK, thank you,” said Tong Wei's mother with a smile.

Tong Wei's mother did not say much.

“Drink decoction when warm. Take a small cup of stew each time, and spend it all in three days, ” Wang Yao said.

As they spoke, the doorbell rang again. Another visitor came. Wang Yao knew the guest, Yang Ming; he was Wang Yao's old school friend. Yang Ming came up with a gift, and he was surprised to see Wang Yao in Tong Wei's house.

“Hai, Wang Yao!” said Yang Ming.

“Hai, Yang Ming. What a coincidence!” wang Yao said with a smile. He stood up from the chair.

It's a little awkward for them to meet here.

“Hai, Yang Ming, please sit down,” mother Tong Wei also stood up.

“Hi, aunt, you look much better than last time. I brought you some gelatin, ” said Yang Ming.

“Thank you! I've said before, You don't need to bring anything when you come here, “ Tong Wei's mother said with a smile.

Wang Yao could sense that Tong Wei's mother preferred Yang Ming.

“Do you know each other?” ask Tong Wei's father.

“Yes, we are old school friends. Wang Yao, me and Tong Wei used to be in the same class. Wang Yao is one of the best students!” said Yang Ming.

“Really? How fortuitous. Wang Yao brought us some herbs,” Tong Wei's father said.

“Animal boil?” yang Ming said in surprise.

“Yes, he brews it himself,” Tong Wei's mother said.

“You brew it yourself? Yao, I thought you studied biology at university, since when can you make herbs?” asked Yang Ming curiously.

“I learned it last year,” said Wang Yao calmly.

“Last year?” Tong Wei's parents frowned. They thought Wang Yao had medical qualifications, so they asked Wang Yao to prescribe an herbal formula for them. They didn't know his background was biology, not medicine. He only started studying medicine last year and has only one and a half years of experience at most.

What can he learn in such short time? How ridiculous it was that he had already started seeing patients and prescribing herbal formulas! thought Tong Wei's parents.

“Last year? Really?” yang Ming asked with a smile. He seemed to be enjoying Wang Yao's misfortune.

Yang Ming had long been chasing Tong Wei. He visited Tong Wei in Dao City a few times, but Tong Wei did not seem to be interested in him. Yang Ming did not give up. He always comes back after a loss and changes his strategy. He started to approach Tong Wei's parents. He visited them regularly and always brought gifts, such as health products and wooden sculptures. Yang Ming was very good at speaking, and he knew how to make Tong Wei's parents happy.

Today, he met Wang Yao at Tong Wei's house. He immediately knew that Wang Yao was also interested in Tong Wei. So, Wang Yao was his rival in love. He had been thinking about how to humiliate Wang Yao ever since he walked through the door. He wanted Wang Yao to take a hint that Tong Wei's parents would not accept him. Now, he found a way to attack Wang Yao.

Biology is closely related to medicine. He only studied medicine for over a year before prescribing herbal formulas to people. What the hell is he doing? Experimenting on Tong Wei's mother? thought Yang Ming. He did not express his thoughts, because he knew overreaching was as bad as failing.

“There will be no problem with my recipe,” Wang Yao said calmly and confidently.

“There won't be any problems?” doubt Tong Wei's mother.

“If you are worried about my recipe, you can use just a little at the beginning,” Wang Yao suggested.

“OK,” says mother Tong Wei.

The living room of Tong Wei's apartment was large, and the air flow was nice, but the atmosphere was rather heavy.

“Uncle, Auntie, I have to go now,” Wang Yao said. He felt there was no need for him to continue staying, as Tong Wei's parents didn't seem to like him.

“Why not stay for lunch?” ask Tong Wei's mother. Wang Yao did not think he really wanted her to stay, so he refused and left.

Yang Ming was still at Tong Wei's place and was trying to impress his parents.

He was not sure why, but Wang Yao suddenly felt his visit to Tong Wei's place was meaningless.

Wang Yao went home for a while before returning to Nanshan hill. He tried to calm himself down by reading the scriptures for a while. Then, he sat down on the chair and looked out through the window until it started to get dark. He then realized that it was time to go home for dinner.

Wang Yao received a call from Tian Yuantu at night. Tian Yuantu sounded urgent on the phone. She asked Wang Yao if she was there the next day because Secretary Yang's mother was sick again. He suddenly felt very cold, and Secretary Yang was very worried. Tian Yuantu wanted Wang Yao to see Secretary Yang's mother as soon as possible.

“How about tomorrow?” asked Wang Yao.

“OK, I will pick you up,” said Tian Yuantu.

Wang Yao returned to Nanshan Hill after dinner and began brewing another dose of potion for Secretary Yang's mother.

Secretary Mother who is very ill. The cold evil went deep into his internal organs and damaged his health. Although Regather's soup improved her health, it only cured her symptoms and not her illness. After the effects of Regather's soup disappeared, the cold evil again attacked her.

Dealing with people of high social status is not easy. Wang Yao knew this well.

Tian Yuantu came early the next morning right after Wang Yao finished breathing exercises.

The two of them left the village and went to a quiet house in Haiqu. The house was not the private home of Secretary Yang, but rather more like a clubhouse. Wang Yao met Secretary Yang and his mother again inside the house. Her mother was a thin and kind woman.

It was spring, and heating supplies in northern China had stopped, but indoors it was still quite warm. The room had its own heater, which was lit when Wang Yao was inside. Even with the heater, Secretary Yang's mother wore a lot of clothes and a thick coat. He was obviously very sensitive to cold.

There was only Secretary Yang and his mother in the room besides Wang Yao and Tian Yuantu. Secretary Yang didn't bring any staff members with him.

“Hai, Aunty,” greet Tian Yuantu.

“Hai, Yuantu,” said Secretary Yang's mother.

“This is the doctor who prescribed the herbs for you,” Tian Yuantu said.

“Halo, my name is Wang Yao,” said Wang Yao.

“Halo! I wanted to thank you in person for a long time. Please sit. Haichuan, make a cup of tea for Dr. Wang and Yuantu,” said Secretary Yang's mother.

“I'll do it myself,” said Tian Yuantu. He and Wang Yao both stood up and made a cup of tea for themselves.

What kind of person could let the Party Secretary make them a cup of tea?

After chatting with Secretary Yang's mother for a while, Wang Yao found this old woman breathless and extremely weak. He was in poor health and did not have much vitality.

“By me check pulse?” asked Wang Yao.

“Sure,” says Secretary Yang's mother.

Wang Yao was startled after he checked Secretary Yang's mother's pulse. His pulse was very light and light. A floating pulse indicates poor health, and a very mild pulse indicates a serious illness, which cannot be cured.

His throbbing like a swimming fish.

Wang Yao could feel that his pulse was shallow and unstable. It indicates extreme amounts of Yin, extreme imbalances of Yin and Yang, and a lack of Yang. Therefore, the Secretary's mother is very sensitive to cold.

Wang Yao started thinking about the treatment method after he gave the diagnosis. This old lady's condition was the opposite of that of Lord Sun, whom Wang Yao had seen in Dao City a few days ago. Lord Sun lacked Yin, while this old lady lacked Yang. So, the treatment process should also be the opposite.

“What do you think, Dr. Wang?” secretary Yang asked after Wang Yao fell silent for a while.

“Your mother's condition is urgent. He should be treated immediately,” Wang Yao said.

“Can you cure it?” ask Secretary Yang. He knew his mother's illness could not be delayed. She had taken her mother to a number of specialists for treatment, but she did not improve. Only the herbs given by Wang Yao made her feel better.

“I need to think about it,” said Wang Yao.

Secretary's mother's illness is serious and strange. Although Wang Yao had knowledge of the strange illness after meeting Sun and had a basic treatment plan, the extreme amount of Yin and Yang was only similar in terms of pathology. Wang Yao had to come up with a completely different treatment plan for Secretary Yang's mother.

“I have a dose of decoction to give your mother a temporary relief.” Wang Yao took out a single dose of Regather soup. “I still need to think about a detailed treatment plan.”

“Oke.” Secretary Yang received the stew.

After Wang Yao diagnosed Secretary Yang's mother, they started chatting. Secretary Yang's mother was a good old woman who made Wang Yao feel at ease. Wang Yao even thought he was not much different from the elders in his village.

Secretary Yang asked Wang Yao and Tian Yuantu to stay for lunch, but Wang Yao still felt uncomfortable eating with Secretary Yang. They stayed for lunch, and he and Tian Yuantu left after that. Tian Yuantu asked about Secretary Yang's mother's illness again on the way back to the village.

“Is he really that seriously ill?” ask Tian Yuantu.

“Yes, more serious than I thought, almost incurable,” said Wang Yao.

Tian Yuantu looked depressed. She was concerned about Secretary Yang's mother, not only because of Secretary Yang's social status but also because of their friendship. Secretary's mother who has always been very kind to him. He even considered her a family member.

“Can you cure it?” ask Tian Yuantu.

“I don't know for now. I can't guarantee anything. I have to try, ” said Wang Yao. After all, he had never encountered such a disease, so he had no experience with it.

As a Traditional Chinese Pharmacist, experience is as important as knowledge. But, one cannot gain experience in a short period of time.

“In fact, the condition is similar to Mr. Sun. The only difference was that he lacked Yang, whereas Mr. Sun lacked Yin. His condition is even slightly better than Mr. Sun,” Wang Yao said.

“Then, I leave it to you,” said Tian Yuantu.

“Sure, I will do my best,” Wang Yao said with a smile.
