Chapter 1144: Chapter 1145: Seeing is Believing
The aunt said, "Then it must be right. That girl is definitely your daughter. We all call her Little Lu."
Zheng Shuoâe had already guessed that the person they were talking about was her daughter, but hearing them mention the Lu surname made her delighted, "Thatâs right, my daughter indeed has the surname Lu."
Upon hearing this, the aunt was full of respect and said, "Ah, truly sorry for not recognizing her. Youâve truly raised a wonderful daughter. At such a young age, she possesses such skills. She will definitely become a Divine Doctor in the future."
"Sister, we must thank you for having such a wonderful daughter."
"Yes, yes, your daughter will certainly accomplish great things."
Listening to everyone chatting enthusiastically, all praising words, Zheng Shuoâe felt indescribable pride and happiness. As a mother, thereâs nothing more gratifying than people praising her daughter.
It turns out her daughter has achieved such success, and she was completely unaware.
Oh, right, her daughter said it was all taught by Teacher Song. Could it be that they really have a mentor-mentee relationship?
If Teacher Song indeed taught her that way, if she hadnât let her daughter learn, then these patients coming for treatment wouldnât be happy.
But a girl learning from a man, always privately, running to a hotel to learnâit just doesnât feel safe at all, and this made Zheng Shuoâe feel worried.
Just in the time it took for this conversation, the acupuncture class already had several long lines queued up. Compared to other consultation desks, none had the same level of buzz, showing how famous this acupuncture class was.
After more than half an hour, a group of students came to the consultation desk, and Song Xiaodong brought Lu Yaobing and the others over.
Lu Yaobing followed next to Song Xiaodong, turning her head to look at his face, her mouth opening and closing, speaking in unclear words. The other students surrounded Song Xiaodong, almost centered around him.
Looking at other classes, students and teachers were scattered in groups of three or five, walking very loosely.
Lu Yaobing walked over directly to her mother, raised her chin, and said, "If you want a consultation, better hurry and get in line."
Seeing Lu Yaobing like a proud little princess, Zheng Shuoâe smiled and said, "Iâm just looking, canât I just watch without talking?"
"Hmph, thatâs the best then," Lu Yaobing said, turning to the consultation desk behind to sit down.
The other students also sat down, and the people in front immediately came over for consultations.
Since there was no need for guidance at the moment, Song Xiaodong came next to Zheng Shuoâe.
"Teacher Song, it seems your acupuncture class is quite popular," Zheng Shuoâeâs attitude had noticeably improved.
Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "Thatâs the reputation effect, mainly because Yao Bing and the others have performed quite well."
Zheng Shuoâe smiled and said, "You should go ahead and busy yourself; treating patients is important. We can talk about our things later."
Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "Then I apologize for neglecting you."
Zheng Shuoâe said, "No need to be courteous; I also want to see what my daughter has learned."
Unperturbed, Song Xiaodong stood behind the students, helping to reassess whichever consultation was completed quickly.
Zheng Shuoâeâs gaze was primarily on her daughter. Seeing her seriously taking pulses, she had truly developed a doctorâs demeanor.
This filled Zheng Shuoâe with relief. She had been very troubled about her daughter being transferred to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospitalâs acupuncture class, even considering asking her to retake studies. But thinking about the option to change majors in college, she reluctantly allowed her daughter to enter school. Who knew her daughter would study for a year without changing majors, leaving her distressed, believing acupuncture was a field without future prospects?
Yet now it seems this profession also has potential. At least so many people recognize this treatment method.
Her daughter finished consulting a patient, then Song Xiaodong came over to reassess, said a few words with her daughter, and then her daughter started applying silver needles for treatment.
Watching her daughter insert the long silver needles into the patient, Zheng Shuoâe felt nervous. What if it was inserted incorrectly? Would there be any accidents?
After worrying for a while, Zheng Shuoâe noticed patients leaving gratefully after the needle treatment, and though her daughter seemed a bit tired, she still appeared composed, which finally put her mind at ease.
After a while, Zheng Shuoâe saw Song Xiaodong come over to Lu Yaobing, unexpectedly placing his hand directly on her daughterâs back. Her daughter did not resist; she let him touch her back, which made Zheng Shuoâe frown.
This is in a public place, ah, a male teacher and female student doing such a thingâarenât they worried about gossip?
But the other students seemed entirely indifferent, treating it as nothing unusual.
This irked Zheng Shuoâe quite a bit, thinking even if Song Xiaodong and Lu Yaobing had anything going on, they should avoid others; doing so overtly was really too much.
Furthermore, this happened three times during the entire free clinic, which made Zheng Shuoâe increasingly irritated. If the setting was suitable, she truly wanted to directly criticize them.
Finally, the free clinic ended, with people leaving reluctantly after failing to get consulted, and the students began packing up to leave.
Song Xiaodong came next to Zheng Shuoâe, who said with a stern face, "Teacher Song, no matter how good your medical skills are, enhancing Yao Bingâs Shuiping, but putting your hands on her in publicâis that really appropriate?"
"Put my hands on her? Haha, you misunderstood; I was helping Yao Bing replenish her True Qi due to her exhaustion."
"True Qi?" Zheng Shuoâe frowned.
Song Xiaodong nodded his head and said, "Yes, Yao Bing developed True Qi from a young age. Thatâs precisely why she could become my student."
Zheng Shuoâe said in disbelief, "Was the True Qi the child talked about before really true?"
"Of course itâs true, though her True Qi is quite weak. What I teach her privately is how to increase her True Qi."
Feeling bewildered, Zheng Shuoâe said, "Isnât this something only found in novels?"
"Youâve seen it yourself; Yao Bing evidently achieves better results than other students when treating patients, a testament to True Qi. This place is not conducive, and I earnestly wish to teach Yao Bing well, needing your support as her mother. Letâs have a meal and discuss at length later."
Zheng Shuoâe nodded and said, "Okay." She felt her brain was overwhelmed, feeling she truly did not know enough about her daughter.
