The next day, Shen Qing got up early again to carry packages at the dock.
There weren't many ships around yet, so the dockworkers were idle, gathered together for a chat.
Shen Qing squatted nearby, listening to them talk.
A man said, "Yesterday my wife took my old mother to Renxin Hall, went there early in the morning, Doctor Gu prescribed some medicine, and after taking it twice during the day, by evening, my mother's cough was much better."
"In the past, once she started coughing, she wouldn't stop for a couple of minutes, but last night, although she coughed a few times, she stopped after a short while."
"Doctor Gu is really amazing, it's only been one day with the medicine."
Someone congratulated him, saying, "After a few more days of medicine, your mother might completely recover."
The man was all smiles but said, "It might not be that fast, Doctor Gu said to take five doses for the cough first, and then change the prescription."
