Free Medical Treatment for Three Years, One Ledger Shows True Human Nature (50 episodes)

Traditional Chinese medicine practitioner Zhao Mingde runs an herbal clinic in an old neighborhood, providing free consultations and medicine on credit for three years. Consequently, he falls into financial hardship, and his tearful wife demands a divorce. When he brings out his ledger to collect debts, the shrewish Old Mrs. Wang defaults on thirty-eight thousand yuan, tears up the ledger, slaps him, and even reports him for practicing medicine without a license, forcing the clinic to shut down. Heartbroken, Zhao Mingde smashes his signboard and locks up. After the clinic closes, the neighbors' chronic ailments flare up with nowhere else to turn. Old Mrs. Wang attempts to flatter a leader with homemade plaster, nearly poisoning someone, and winds up hospitalized herself. Full of regret, the neighbors repay their debts and beg him to reopen. After obtaining an official medical license, Zhao Mingde reopens his clinic with strict rules: standard charges, no credit under any circumstances, and a firm refusal to treat Old Mrs. Wang's family.
