Chapter 256 No Possibility
If it were a grandchild from the younger generation, anyone would do, and she would be delighted to the point of madness, but why does it have to be Gu Youyou, the Child Prodigy, with whom she is fundamentally incompatible, like water and fire?
While the Huang Family matriarch’s thoughts drifted to the high heavens, Gu Youyou had already finished writing.
She blew on the ink, which was not yet dry, and then said to the Huang Family matriarch, "Grandma, please take this back to Qianqian and ask her to come see me!"
Qianqian’s ailment was vomiting. Youyou suspected it might be due to eating watermelon, but there are many reasons for vomiting. Since it wasn’t necessarily pregnancy, it certainly wasn’t necessarily because of eating watermelon either.
As a doctor with medical ethics, Gu Youyou would not prescribe medicine without seeing the patient first. The paper only contained a preliminary understanding of the symptoms and the reason for asking her to come for a visit.
Gu Youyou knew that Lei Qianqian’s father was a Scholar. Since Qianqian could read, that’s why she had written it down on paper.
However, the Huang Family matriarch was not pleased with Gu Youyou’s arrangement and complained, "What do you mean by ’come here’? Don’t you know it’s the busy farming season? The whole family is so busy their feet barely touch the ground. Who has the time to come here for a consultation? Hurry up and arrange for a doctor to go back with me. Qin Changlin seems good; let’s have him!"
Gu Youyou sneered. Are you eyeing Qin Changlin because he may waive the consultation fee?
The matriarch was indeed thinking that way. The reason she didn’t ask Gu Youyou to go back directly was twofold. Firstly, every time Gu Youyou visited the Gu Family, she would return enraged, and the matriarch disliked having her there. Moreover, this impish girl Gu Youyou would most certainly demand a consultation fee.
Qin Changlin was different. Setting aside whether he was easy to talk to, just out of regard for Gu Youyou’s face, he would feel embarrassed to ask for a fee. Perhaps she could even swindle some tonics from him to bolster her great-grandson’s health.
