The three doctors looked at each other and smiled, agreeing to Doctor Tao's question as he took his seat and asked with a chuckle, "Why isn't Young Doctor Zhou here for lunch?"
Young Manager Zheng smiled and said, "I did invite her, but it seems Doctor Zhou Junior was in a hurry to get home. After she finished seeing her patients and it was lunchtime, I had someone send lunch out to her."
He paused and then continued, "But just as Young Doctor Zhou left, she ran into Old Madam Dou. The old lady brought her a basin of plants with a chip broken off, claiming it was the very thing causing Lady Dou to keep getting a rash."
Shopkeeper Zheng nodded.
Manbao had just left the pharmacy when she encountered Old Madam Dou. Originally, she had been waiting for a while without seeing her and thought it would be okay to check the next day, as there were two people at home waiting for her help with their studies, so she decided to pack up and head home.
