After Rebirth, the Miracle Doctor Wife Is No Longer Humble!

152  Possession

This kind of ginseng had very strong medicinal properties and was usually used to help critically ill patients preserve their last chance of survival and buy time for treatment. Ordinary patients would not use such herbs.

After Ji Mei brought the medicine to the man, he paid the bill and left with the paper bag containing the herbs.

"Sister Meimei, I think there's something wrong with that person. I want to ask him some questions," Ye Ling said hastily.

Maria Julian was momentarily puzzled. Had something been wrong with the man? Why hadn't she noticed? However, through Yun Jie's introduction, she learned more about Ye Ling, understanding that she possessed excellent medical skills and extensive medical knowledge.

Could it be that Ye Ling had noticed that there was something wrong with the man's body?

"It's fine. You can go ahead. I'll look after the pharmacy," Ji Mei replied in a relaxed tone.

"Okay, thank you, Sister Meimei." Ye Ling expressed her gratitude with a smile and promptly left the pharmacy to catch up with the man.

Instead of approaching the man directly with questions, Ye Ling followed him from a distance.

The man walked in the direction of Willow Village and soon reached his house. Ye Ling watched as he pushed open the door and entered. She halted her steps a few dozen meters away.

Furrowing her brow, Ye Ling gradually realized the familiarity of this door. After some reflection, she suddenly remembered that when she, Min Nan, and Li Bin were heading home, they had passed this house's entrance. They had noticed a round-faced young girl there. Li Bin had mentioned that this girl was the daughter-in-law Aunt Mei had bought for her second son.

At the time, Ye Ling had been furious because the girl was only 15 or 16 years old, far from the age of marriage. This was, in essence, a criminal act of human trafficking.

She hadn't expected the man who had come to buy medicine to be connected to Aunt Mei's family.

"Is someone in Aunt Mei's family seriously ill?" Ye Ling thought.

At that moment, an old lady carrying a child approached Aunt Mei's house. Ye Ling walked over, offering a warm smile. "Hello, Grandma. Do you live nearby?"

The old lady examined Ye Ling, noting her attractive appearance and kind demeanor. Her little grandson seemed to like Ye Ling as he extended his arms, signaling that he wanted to be carried by Ye Ling.

The old lady nodded. "Yes, why do you ask?"

Ye Ling continued, "I heard that someone in this family is seriously ill?"

Upon hearing Ye Ling's question, the old lady assumed that Ye Ling was simply one who enjoyed gossip. She became more animated and spoke in a hushed tone. "Not an illness. It's a case of possession!"

"Possession?" Although Ye Ling was reborn, she still didn't believe in ghosts and gods. After all, doctors were more materialistic and advocated scientific methods.

"What's going on?" Ye Ling pretended to be nervous and afraid. At the same time, her tone carried a hint of curiosity and excitement.

The old lady's arm that was holding her grandson was a little sore, so she switched to another arm. She then explained to Ye Ling, "I don't know what happened. About half a month ago, Aunt Mei's second daughter-in-law, Ah Hui, suddenly fell ill. She couldn't eat and had no strength. She could only lie in bed."

Ye Ling asked with curiosity, "Isn't that an illness?"

A worried expression crossed the old lady's face as she explained further, "At first, Aunt Mei thought Ah Hui was sick. However, she believed that Ah Hui was young and in good health, so what kind of illness could she possibly have? She thought Ah Hui was simply lazy and would whip her all day. Oh, the cries from Ah Hui were non-stop."

Ye Ling clenched her fists in anger but continued to inquire, "And then?"

Through the old lady's description, Ye Ling learned that since Ah Hui came to Aunt Mei's house, Aunt Mei had been frequently abusing her.

According to the old lady, Aunt Mei couldn't hit her son or eldest daughter-in-law. She was afraid that her eldest daughter-in-law would run back to her mother's house or divorce her eldest son. However, she could hit her second daughter-in-law, Ah Hui, as she pleased.

Ah Hui's family lived thousands of kilometers away, and she couldn't escape. So, she would bear the beatings, continue her work, and not suffer any losses.

Each time Aunt Mei struck Ah Hui, Ah Hui would cry and beg to go home. But no one took her seriously, and Aunt Mei even proudly said, "Ah Hui is a wild child from the mountains, and she must be disciplined. She will only learn her lesson through punishment."
