Chapter 254: Joyous Occasion
Gu Youyou spoke nonchalantly, "Water is the source of all things, the beginning of life. Drinking a sufficient amount of boiled water every day contributes to health and longevity. When catching a cold or suffering from a cough, it also has the effect of suppressing coughs and dissolving phlegm. We run a medical hall, not a teahouse, so naturally, we prioritize the patient’s health above all else. That’s why our medical hall doesn’t receive guests with tea, but with water. If you’re not accustomed to drinking this boiled water..." Gu Youyou paused, pointed in the direction of the front courtyard, and continued, "Turn left as you leave, there’s a teahouse!"
Qin Changlin and the elder of the Huang Family twitched the corners of their mouths simultaneously.
It’s just a glass of boiled water, right? She made such a big deal out of it! The brat is getting more and more articulate, huh.
And actually, she herself couldn’t stand that fancy-schmancy tea; plain boiled water quenched thirst just fine. It was Gu Youyou’s attitude that irked her, starting from that cold and curt demeanor on the main street. We came here sincerely to seek medical attention, not to face Gu Youyou’s scorn.
Gu Youyou scoffed. If they were sincerely seeking treatment, would they manage to disgrace Jisheng Hall in the streets?
"Forget the tea; I’m busy!" declared the elder Huang.
She couldn’t afford to lose her dignity and maintained her seniority proudly.
Gu Youyou, on the other hand, didn’t say much. You are indeed an elder, but if you behaved like one and didn’t argue nonsensically, I would respect you.
