The netizens had never seen anything as ridiculous as this.
A whole group of people who were clearly there for a wedding had all barged into a traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
Qin Jiang stood up and asked if they had taken a wrong turn, but nobody even paid him any attention. They just stood in the courtyard and started arguing right then and there.
For a moment, Qin Jiang felt like his head was about to split in two.
Soon, Shi Mu also noticed the commotion in the courtyard. He hurried back in with his staff.
“Are you here to see a doctor? If not, please leave right away. Don’t waste Dr. Qin’s time!”
Qin Jiang’s time was incredibly valuable right now. There were still so many people waiting in line to be seen.
Hearing Shi Mu say that, the bride quickly tried to calm her parents down.
“Dad, Mom, can we talk about this later? First, let Zhiqiang see the doctor.”
Hearing their daughter say that, her parents just snorted and finally stopped arguing.
The bride walked up to Qin Jiang and said, “Hello, Dr. Qin. My name is Yanni, and this is my husband, Lan Zhiqiang. Could you please take a look at him?”
Qin Jiang was a bit puzzled.
“Judging by how you’re dressed today, you’re about to get married, right? Is it some kind of urgent condition?”
Usually, when couples get married, they go through pre-marital checkups.
Especially on a big, happy day like today—both of them are already in their wedding dress and suit. That means today is supposed to be the wedding banquet, and all their relatives and friends should already be there, right?
So why would they come running to a TCM clinic on a day like this? Qin Jiang couldn’t quite understand it.
After all, Lan Zhiqiang looked perfectly normal. He didn’t seem sick at all.
Yanni nodded awkwardly.
“We were supposed to get married today, but just now at the wedding banquet, my husband started acting a little strange, so…”
Before Yanni could finish, her mother immediately chimed in, clearly unhappy.
“What do you mean ‘husband, husband’? The wedding banquet isn’t even over yet. He’s still just your boyfriend, not your husband.”
“Daughter, if you keep calling him that, people might think you’re desperate to become a daughter-in-law of the Lan family.”
As soon as Yanni’s mother said that, the Lan family side immediately took offense.
“The two of them have already gotten their marriage license. What’s wrong with her calling my son ‘husband’?”
“Yeah, your family was so happy during the engagement, and now you want to change your mind on the actual wedding day? Does that make any sense at all?”
Seeing that the two families were about to start fighting again, Qin Jiang raised his hand and pressed down gently, signaling for them to be quiet.
Qin Jiang looked at Yanni and asked, “Tell me in detail. What exactly happened with your husband?”
Yanni recounted everything that had happened at the wedding banquet from start to finish.
Apparently, earlier on the wedding day, both families were perfectly happy. All the relatives and friends had come to witness the couple’s happy moment.
But then, right as the bride was about to get out of the car, Yanni’s mother stopped her. She insisted that the groom’s family had to pay a “getting-out-of-the-car fee.”
She said it was a custom where they came from.
Another custom?
Qin Jiang raised an eyebrow, a little annoyed.
The truth is, a lot of problems are caused by so-called “customs” that people make up out of thin air.
Things like hazing at weddings, bride prices, and so on.
Sure enough, by stopping the bride from getting out of the car, Yanni’s mother made the groom’s family feel incredibly embarrassed.
A bunch of relatives and friends also started stirring the pot, eager to watch the drama unfold.
It was under this kind of pressure that the groom went crazy.
Yanni said with red-rimmed eyes, “My husband probably got triggered. He took all the bride price money that was laid out on the table, tore open the packets, and threw it up in the air, scattering it to the guests.”
“He didn’t just throw money—he threw gold bars and gold necklaces too. It was like he was insane.”
From Yanni’s account, Qin Jiang learned that the groom’s family wasn’t exactly wealthy. They were just barely comfortable, lower-middle class at best.
So they definitely weren’t rich enough to go around throwing money away like it was nothing.
But Lan Zhiqiang seemed to get happier and happier the more money he threw, almost as if the money weren’t his own.
Of course, the bride’s family was furious about the scene Lan Zhiqiang had caused.
All that bride price money was theirs—it had been laid out just to save face.
And now, thanks to Lan Zhiqiang, most of it had been snatched up by the guests.
More importantly, Lan Zhiqiang’s behavior clearly showed that he had some kind of mental problem!
Their daughter was so beautiful—how could they let her marry a lunatic?
The bride’s family insisted that Lan Zhiqiang was mentally ill, while the groom’s family insisted that their son was perfectly healthy. So the two families argued back and forth and eventually ended up at this TCM clinic.
After hearing both sides of the story, Qin Jiang turned to Lan Zhiqiang.
“Mr. Lan, are you conscious and lucid right now?”
Lan Zhiqiang smiled and nodded.
“I’m perfectly lucid, Doctor.”
“Do you feel any discomfort anywhere? Or anything strange?”
Lan Zhiqiang shook his head.
“I don’t feel any discomfort at all. I just feel really happy.”
Feeling happy doesn’t count as a sickness.
Especially on your own wedding day—feeling happy is completely normal.
“Alright, put your hand here. Let me take your pulse.”
The moment Qin Jiang finished speaking, Lan Zhiqiang suddenly pulled a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket and handed it to Qin Jiang.
“Dr. Qin, I’m getting married today. Let’s all be happy together.”
Qin Jiang was taken aback for a second, then accepted the hundred-yuan bill.
After all, the groom personally handed out the money. Consider it a bit of wedding luck.
“Thank you, but let’s focus on the checkup for now.”
Before Qin Jiang could finish his sentence, Lan Zhiqiang stood up and started handing out money to Liu Yan and the camera crew as well.
The Lan family parents saw this but couldn’t really stop him.
After all, it’s true that there’s a tradition of the groom handing out lucky money. If they tried to stop him at that moment, wouldn’t that be like telling him not to share his good fortune with others?
But Yanni’s parents saw it completely differently.
Yanni’s mother pointed at Lan Zhiqiang and said, “See? Dr. Qin, you see for yourself. He’s handing out money to everyone he sees. If that’s not crazy, what is?”
Lan Zhiqiang’s mother immediately got angry.
“Watch your mouth! What do you mean ‘crazy’? What’s wrong with my son giving out lucky money? Today is his wedding day—a happy occasion. I think this is exactly what he should be doing!”
Yanni’s mother sneered. “Your family had to borrow money from everywhere just to scrape together the bride price, and now you’re pretending to be rich?”
“Your son is mentally ill, and I will never let my daughter marry a madman!”
Yanni’s mother was absolutely firm in her stance. The two families started arguing again.
Fortunately, Shi Mu stepped in just in time to stop them, keeping the situation from spiraling even further out of control.
Shi Mu looked at Qin Jiang and asked, “Dr. Qin, do you want me to kick them out?”
Hearing Shi Mu say that, both families immediately behaved themselves.
After all, both families needed something from Qin Jiang.
One family wanted proof that Lan Zhiqiang was sick, and the other wanted proof that he wasn’t.
Qin Jiang waved his hand.
“Forget it. Let’s give them one more chance.”
