What Was the Deal with This Jujube Pit?

The elderly ladies joked, "We're all old sisters, what can't we talk about? I believe whatever you say."

"You can't keep such a good thing to yourself, tell us about it right away!"

Everyone gets sick sometimes, and everyone needs a miracle doctor!

Old Madam Zhao looked at them and said, "But this miracle doctor, although his medical skills are superb, charges extremely high fees, and has a strange temper."

The old ladies were truly anxious. "Money is not the issue, just tell me where he is!"

Looking at them, Old Madam Zhao said, "You were all in too much of a hurry. We're here now, aren't we?"

Then Zhou Wanwan skipped and hopped in.

All the old ladies were stunned.

Old Madam Zhao looked at her and said, "Wanwan, come here quickly, let me introduce you."

Zhou Wanwan came over, and Old Madam Zhao introduced all of the dozen or so elderly ladies to her.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the elderly ladies politely and smiled.

An elderly lady asked, "Old Madam Zhao, is this your young lady?"

Old Madam Zhao smiled and said, "Yes, she's my granddaughter now."

"So that's why you held this digestive feast today! It turns out it was for this little girl!"

You don't need to go to such lengths to elevate this little girl!

Old Madam Zhao looked at her and said, "Old Madam Cui, what makes you so sure? Do I need to boast to you?"

Old Madam Cui snorted coldly and said:

Who doesn't know you've always been a strong-willed person?

If you want to promote a young girl, just say so. Why beat around the bush?

But I've never heard of your family having such a little girl! Could she be from the countryside?

"I think it's quite unruly."

Old Madam Cui has quite a strong opinion about her!

Old Madam Zhao sneered, "I know we don't get along, but there's no need for such sarcasm. If you don't believe me, fine."

Several ladies standing behind Old Madam Cui echoed, "I also think this is unlikely. What serious illness could a six-year-old child possibly have?"

"Who would believe that? I certainly don't."

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said:

"I didn't ask you to believe me, did I? My fees are already very high, and I hope you never have to believe me."

Even if you families had the money to pay me, I wouldn't get treatment.

Old Madam Cui slammed her dragon-headed cane on the ground and said, "How dare you! You're just a junior, how dare you speak to me like that?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said:

"That's what I'm saying: you're from the Cui Family, your family is from the Xu Family, and there's also the Chen Family, the Ye Family, and the Bai Family."

Even if you five offer me a fortune, I won't take any action.

Old Madam Cui:

"A five or six-year-old child, yet he speaks with such arrogance. Who needs your medical treatment?"

Do you really think you're so capable?

Old Madam Chen couldn't help but say:

"Arrogance always brings trouble; you'd better tone it down."

There are so many miracle doctors in the world, but I've never heard of a six-year-old child being a miracle doctor.

Old Madam Ye nodded and said, "I think so too. A miracle doctor, indeed! All pretense. The Zhao Family is really not what it used to be."

Old Madam Zhao glanced at Old Madam Ye indifferently and said, "Your Ye Family is getting better and better, producing three homosexuals. It's quite an honor for your family."

Old Madam Ye looked at Old Madam Zhao and said, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Old Madam Zhao coughed and said, "I'm sorry! I spoke too quickly and couldn't help it."

Old Madam Ye glared at her and said:

"My three sons are not homosexuals, and I even have grandchildren now."

Unlike you, raising someone else's grandson for so many years, it's a complete joke."

This is a veiled jab at her, referring to Zhao Botong's affair!

Old Madam Zhao's face stiffened as she said:

"My Zhao Family has many children, so it doesn't matter if we raise a few more."

As for your Ye Family, you only have one grandson, so you must take good care of him!

Suddenly, a maid rushed in and said:

"Madam, something terrible has happened!"

Our little boy choked on a date, and now his face is all purple, waaaaaah...

Old Madam Ye's face turned green, and she stormed into the living room.

Then they saw Ye Family's only grandson lying on the ground, his face turning blue and purple.

Old Madam Ye burst into tears:

My grandson! Waaaaah...

You can't let anything happen to you! What will I do if something happens to you?

The physician from the manor arrived quickly.

But the doctors were also helpless. The Ye Family did have a physician, who came in, shook his head, and said, "He's choking. The date pit is stuck in his throat. He must spit it out, or it will be dangerous."

Old Madam Ye shouted, "You Zhao Family did this on purpose, didn't you? My grandson came as a guest, and he actually got to eat a date pit! What are your intentions?"

Old Madam Zhao said calmly, "We didn't prepare any food with date pits today."

Old Madam Ye, exasperated, said, "Where did that jujube pit come from? Are you still going to pretend? This is a human life!"

Old Madam Zhao looked at the servants beside her and asked, "What do you think happened to this jujube pit? Where did it come from?"

The servant of the Zhao Family said:

"In response to Madam, these dates were brought by them. When we were eating them, I said that the child was too young to eat dates."

But the wet nurse wouldn't listen and insisted on feeding the child.

The woman was a wet nurse, who knelt down in fear. "Madam, please spare my life! My son usually eats dates at home and has never had any problems before. I don't know what happened today."

Old Madam Zhao smiled and said, "As long as the responsibility is clarified, that's fine. We won't take responsibility for anything that wasn't done by our Zhao Family."

Seeing the child's bluish-purple face, Old Madam Ye was extremely anxious. "Didn't you say she was a miracle doctor? Tell her to treat the child right away!"

Zhou Wanwan sat on the stool, eating the pastries next to her.

Old Madam Zhao said calmly, "The renowned doctor just said that since you don't believe him, your Ye Family won't treat him."

Old Madam Ye was sweating profusely. If her grandson were to die here today, she wouldn't be able to live either.

Zhou Wanwan completely ignored her; what did that have to do with him?

Looking at Zhou Wanwan, Old Madam Ye suddenly knelt down on the ground. "Divine Doctor, please save my grandson! He's my only grandson!"

Zhou Wanwan looked down at Old Madam Ye and said:

"Old Madam Ye, you don't need to kneel before me. I said I won't save you, and I mean it."

However! Just because I'm not saving them doesn't mean my men can't.

Old Madam Ye wiped away her tears and said, "Thank you so much, doctor! Thank you so much, doctor!"

Zhou Wanwan frowned and said, "You don't think there's no consultation fee, do you? Five hundred thousand taels of silver."

Old Madam Ye's expression changed drastically. "500,000 taels of silver? This is robbery!"

Zhou Wanwan turned and left without looking back.

They want it all but refuse to spend a single penny. No way.

The ladies nearby said, "It's just 500,000 taels of silver. Compared to your grandson, what's that little bit of money?"

"The Ye Family isn't short of money, why be so stingy?"

"Now look what's happened! You've angered the miracle doctor, haven't you? Your grandson is probably... in trouble."

The grandson of the Ye Family had turned as black as the bottom of a pot. Old Madam Ye said, "Give it to me, I'll give it to you. Please, I beg the divine physician to help."

Zhou Wanwan said:

"When will the 500,000 taels arrive? Then we'll provide the rescue. Of course, something of equal value is also acceptable."

"If this child doesn't survive another cup of tea's time, he won't be able to be saved."

Even the Old Scholar Tree was powerless to help.

Old Madam Ye sobbed, "I'll give you all the jewelry I have on me, is that enough?"

Zhou Wanwan shook her head and said, "It's not enough. All the things you have on you don't even add up to ten thousand taels of silver."

Everyone was stunned. Madam Ye rushed over and said, "My child! I... I'll give you everything I have, plus 200,000 taels of silver. Divine Doctor, is that enough?"
