93 I’m Not a Liar
Without waiting for Xia Wan to reply, the old lady continued, “Two days ago, my old man saw someone on the street giving him free treatment. He immediately let him have a checkup. After the checkup, he asked my old man to buy three boxes of medicine. My kid went to the hospital for a checkup, but the doctor said that these weren’t medicine at all. It was useless even if he took it. We quarreled many times over this matter. Little girl, don’t lie to me.”
After hearing her words, Xia Wan realized that what the old lady was talking about might be a trick used by those who turned so-called harmless things into miraculous medicine to deceive the elderly.
She explained patiently, “Grandma, I’m different from those people. You see, I don’t have any medicine for sale here. It’s just that I want to sell clothes, but it’s my first time, so I’m afraid there won’t be any customers. It just so happens that my medical skills are what I’m good at, and I want to use them to attract customers.”
The old lady saw that she was being sincere, so she reached out her hand and said, “Alright, then you can give me a check. If you’re right, I’ll believe you.”
The interaction between the old lady and Xia Wan had also attracted many bystanders who felt interaction really lively and exciting.
A clothing seller taking pulses and treating illnesses? This was the first time he had seen such a thing.
Xia Wan nodded her head confidently. “No problem, grandma.
Xia Wan took the old lady’s pulse carefully and said, “Grandma, you’re in good health. You’ve been living well these years, but you must’ve caught a cold during your confinement. So if it rains now, your waist will feel uncomfortable.”
The old lady’s eyes widened. Very few people knew about the root of her illness during her confinement. Only her husband knew about it. Even the children in the family had no idea. Every time it rained, she would feel uncomfortable, but she could only lie down and endure it. The children at home thought she was simply aging and feeling unwell on rainy days was a normal thing. All they’d do was to not bother her on rainy days.
She didn’t expect this young girl to be able to accurately deduce that she’d been sick during her confinement just by taking her pulse. Even if she went to a proper hospital, they probably wouldn’t be able to diagnose it so accurately. At that moment, the old lady began to believe that Xia Wan was really capable.
“Little girl, you’re really amazing. You actually guessed it right. Little girl, do you have any way to cure it?”
The old lady’s tone was also a little emotional. No one wanted to feel uncomfortable every time it rained. When she was young, she liked to walk in the rain.
When the others saw the old lady’s attitude, they knew that Xia Wan was right. They all looked at her in surprise and couldn’t help but whisper to each other.
“Do you think the old lady is an actress hired by this girl to highlight her superb medical skills so that we can all buy her clothes?”
“I don’t think so. Who would have doubts from the start? besides, this old lady doesn’t look like she’s acting. If she is, then she must be a hidden talent.”
Xia Wan had heard the discussions of the people around her. It was normal for them to be suspicious, as people were always on guard.
She didn’t immediately respond to them, but said to the old lady, “Yes, but you’ll need to keep taking it for a prolonged period. I can prescribe medicine for you. At the same time, you should drink more warm water and be careful not to catch a cold.”
As she spoke, Xia Wan began to write down the prescription. She wrote it down nimbly and received many exclamations from the people around her.
“These words are really well written!”
“Yeah, the strokes are strong and forceful. You can’t write like this, not without a few years of hard practice!”
“I’m suddenly starting to believe in her medical skills. Come, take my pulse.”
A young girl couldn’t take it anymore. She walked through the crowd and came to Xia Wan, asking her to take her pulse.
When the old lady got the prescription, she hugged it like treasure. If it could really be cured, she would be able to suffer less in the future.
little girl, I’m looking at the clothes now. I want to buy a few pieces for my sons and mistresses! The old lady said with great energy.
“Brother,” Xia Wan smiled and said to Xia Chen, “Help the grandma choose.”
“Alright,” Xia Chen grinned and went to help the old lady choose her clothes.
As for Xia Feng, he got in charge of looking after the stall in case someone tried to steal something when business was crowded.
Xia Wan began to check the pulse of the next person. As she checked each person’s pulse, she accurately described everyone’s physical condition to a tee, quickly dissipating suspicions that the old lady was a hired actress.
