Reborn Missy An Adorable Wife-Chapter 8

“Doctor Hua of the Hundred Herb Hall is very famous.”

Elder Yuan did not point it out, but from his meaningful tone, Gu Qingchen vaguely guessed that Doctor Hua of the Hundred Herb Hall might be a national medical expert or something.

If he really was such a person, why did he want to transfer the Hundred Herb Hall to others?

Just as Gu Qingchen was lost in her thoughts, she felt the change in the surrounding atmosphere. The originally noisy Hundred Herb Hall suddenly quieted down.

Gu Qingchen subconsciously looked towards the counter and saw a white-haired but hale and hearty old man walking out.

Soon, some middle-aged women lost their composure and asked at the top of their lungs, “Doctor Hua, can we start now? I still have to deliver lunch to my daughter at noon.”

When the middle-aged woman shouted this, the people next to her immediately laughed out loud. “If you’re in a hurry, you can leave first. No one is stopping you. Hurry up and go feed your child with milk!”

“Pockmark Wang, does your wife know that you came here? Otherwise, she might run to someone’s house trying to catch you committing adultery later.”

From the conversation between the two of them, it was clear that the two of them knew each other, and their relationship was not that good.

Doctor Hua coughed lightly, but Pockmark Wang, who wanted to retort, held it back and glared at the middle-aged woman.

Doctor Hua was the living signboard of the Hundred Herb Hall. Many people had sought Doctor Hua’s treatment before, so they naturally did not dare to be too presumptuous.

Moreover, it was Doctor Hua’s decision who could get the Hundred Herb Hall today.

“The time is up, so let’s begin. I’ll say a few requirements first. Those who do not meet the requirements can go back.”

......

Doctor Hua opened a very simple book that looked like a book and began to say, “Those over the age of 50 will not be selected; those with children under the age of 18 will not be selected; foreigners will not be selected.”

Once these three requirements were mentioned, it immediately caused many people to be dissatisfied.

“Why can’t those over the age of 50 be selected? Are you discriminating against the elderly?”

“So what if I have children? It has nothing to do with running the Hundred Herb Hall. Why can’t I?”

“Fortunately, I meet the requirements. I don’t have a child. I’m young enough. Hehe, I’m not a foreigner.”

“Oh no, I’m a mixed-blood. I don’t know if I qualify!”

“Hahahaha, brother, don’t joke around. You’re a mixed-blood from the north and south, right? You haven’t even left the country yet, and you still have the nerve to say that you’re a mixed-blood.”

Gu Qingchen just listened quietly. The Hundred Herb Hall was bustling again, just like when she first came in.

Doctor Hua did not seem to be in a hurry at all. Like an old monk in meditation, his tone of voice did not change at all. “If anyone happens to be in one of these three categories, you can go back now. Everyone can take a set of medicinal herbs from me to strengthen their body. The medicinal herbs are left at the door. Help yourselves.”

Although those people were very unwilling, Doctor Hua had already said so, and they could even bring home some medicinal herbs. Adhering to the principle of receiving benefits without even putting in the effort, they took the medicinal herbs one by one and left.

However, many people took more than one set of medicinal herbs, and Doctor Hua did not seem to care.

After these people left, there were fewer people in the Hundred Herb Hall. Everyone looked at Doctor Hua, waiting for him to ask a question.

“Oh, I suddenly remembered that there is still a type of people who have not been excluded. Those who came to seek medical treatment can also leave.”

Doctor Hua patted his forehead as if he suddenly remembered and added.

As expected, the moment he said this, those people with foreign accents were stunned. They looked unwilling, but they did not dare to be presumptuous. They had no choice but to turn around and leave one by one.

Gu Qingchen subconsciously glanced at Elder Yuan. He was still standing beside her and had no intention of leaving.

There were only a quarter of the people left in the Hundred Herb Hall. Gu Qingchen felt much better. It was too crowded just now, and she couldn’t even breathe properly. 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎

“Okay, the rest of you will queue up voluntarily now. Follow me into the room one by one. I will ask you a few questions. As long as it suits my wishes, the Hundred Herb Hall will belong to whoever.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining people in the Hundred Herb Hall hurriedly crowded together. No one wanted to be at the back of the queue.

There were even some people who quarreled because of this, but Doctor Hua did not seem to notice. He only shouted, “The one in the first place, come in with me.”

The one in the first place was a young man in his twenties. Because he was the closest to Doctor Hua and had quick reflexes, he was in the first place.

The young man in the first place followed Doctor Hua into the inner hall with a little pride. The people at the back were still fighting for their positions. Gu Qingchen did not like to fight, so she simply stood at the back of the queue.

No matter how noisy the people at the front were, she pretended not to hear them. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

Elder Yuan took a look and actually stood on Gu Qingchen’s side. He stared at Gu Qingchen carefully for a while, then asked with a smile, “Little girl Qingchen, aren’t you afraid that you won’t have a chance if you stand at the back?”

Everyone knew that there was only one Hundred Herb Hall. Whoever answered the first question that was in line with Doctor Hua’s wishes, the Hundred Herb Hall would belong to them. If they stood at the back, it meant that the opportunity would be snatched away by others.

Gu Qingchen looked up at Elder Yuan and said indifferently, “I don’t think their chances are higher than mine.”

Even if she didn’t read minds, she could tell from the expressions and language of these people that they were the same as her. They were all there to get a bargain.

And she, the person who was here to get a bargain, clearly had an advantage over those people.

She had died and was reborn. She could even read minds. She believed that her luck had changed.

“You little girl, you are quite confident. You have the elegance of my youth!”

The corners of Gu Qingchen’s mouth twitched. Elder Yuan was really narcissistic to the extreme.

Looking at the people who came out from inside, all of them were dejected. It was obvious that they had not succeeded in taking down the Hundred Herb Hall.

The people who were queuing at the back also began to be a little nervous. They pulled the people who came out and kept asking questions, wanting to know what the question was in advance so that they could be fully prepared.

Unfortunately, those who failed did not want to benefit others, so no one revealed what the question was.

However, the people who came out all had strange expressions. Although they were disappointed that they failed, they looked at others with a gloating expression.

This made many people confused. They were very curious about what Doctor Hua wanted to ask.

The line gradually shortened and soon, it was Gu Qingchen’s turn. Some people who did not leave stared at Gu Qingchen and Elder Yuan. Only these two people did not answer the question. They also wanted to know what the final result was.

Gu Qingchen silently walked in and saw Doctor Hua in the inner hall. He was wearing a white coat and was sitting there like an old monk in meditation. His expression was obviously not looking good. It was probably because he had asked so many people, but no one had given him the answer he wanted.

Initially, Gu Qingchen was not nervous. But for some reason, when it was her turn, she was still a little nervous. She hoped that her mind-reading superpower would not fail at the critical moment.

Walking in front of Doctor Hua, Doctor Hua pointed at Gu Qingchen and asked her to sit down. Gu Qingchen did not pretend and sat down quietly.

“How old do you think I am?”

As soon as Gu Qingchen sat down, Doctor Hua started to ask. Gu Qingchen was stunned when she heard this question.

This was Doctor Hua’s question?

Wasn’t it a little too childish?
