Chapter 129 Worry
Just as they were getting on the ox cart, they heard the voices of Doctor Wei and the pharmacists coming from inside the clinic.
"Hand it in."
"Master, this is the hard-earned money given to us by our little sister. You are too shameless."
"How many medicinal herbs of mine have you ruined this month? Do you need a shameless master like me to carefully sort it out for you?"
"Master, we've worked so hard to take care of him. Can't you just leave this little money for us to have some drinks?"
"I've been watching over him all day. Is there any wine to drink? You're not even in the door yet and you want to drink. You're so bold. Besides, isn't it your job to take care of the patient?"
One of the medicine boys muttered, "It's nice to talk, but you took the hard-earned money that the little sister gave us. In the end, wasn't it just to please the girl in Chunfeng Pavilion?"
Mr. Tang San drove away in an oxcart. On the oxcart, Li Taohua said to Qin Huiyin, "Doctor Wei's behavior is so dishonest. Can you trust him?"
"I think he's quite interesting. Look, his medicine boys aren't afraid of him and even dare to argue with him. This shows that he doesn't treat his disciples harshly."
"Did you hear what his apprentice said? He went to that kind of place..." Li Taohua said disdainfully, "People like him don't look serious at all."
"Mom, if you don't like him, just don't see him anymore." Qin Huiyin held Li Taohua's hand. "We don't need to let an irrelevant person affect our mood."
"My daughter, do you think he really came from the capital?" Li Taohua asked.
"I don't know either," Qin Huiyin said. "However, judging from his accent, it's different from ours. It's similar to the people in the capital I've met before. But the capital is so big, there are countless doctors. He boasts a lot, but we'll have to wait and see how capable he is. Besides, he said one of his ancestors worked in the Imperial Hospital, which means he must have fallen on hard times. If someone were to brag about it now, they wouldn't bring up their ancestors."
"You're right. Even if he really is a doctor from the capital, he must not have been a big shot before."
Qin Huiyin held Li Taohua's hand tightly and said, "Mom, your hands are a little rough. I made hand cream, and it will be out in the evening. I will apply it to you then."
"My daughter is so considerate." Li Taohua hugged Qin Huiyin tightly. "It's worth it for my mother to have you in her life."
In the market, the old customers waited for a long time and finally saw their ox carts, and they all complained.
"Oh, boss lady, your business is doing well and making money, but you're starting to slack off. Now you're setting up your stall later and later."
Li Taohua smiled and said, "Don't blame me, sister. Last time, when something like that happened, my husband was still lying in the clinic. I just went to see his condition, so I was delayed. Sister, what do you want to eat? I'll put some more sauce on you."
"How's your man?"
"His leg was already injured, and it got even worse just when it was getting better. Even after consulting three doctors, they all said that this is the only way forward. I'm afraid he won't be able to get up in the future and will have to lie in bed." Li Taohua wiped away her tears and choked.
Tang Luwu and Tang Yixiao were both stunned.
I couldn't be more shocked.
How come they don't know about this?
"I want three more cakes to take back to my wife."
"I want two more of these skewers."
"This dried fish is pretty good, crispy. How much is it?"
Qin Huiyin said, "Eight coins per pound."
“It’s so expensive!”
"Auntie, this is fish. Look how crispy I fried it. You said I have to pay for the oil, the seasonings and the fish. I'm selling it cheaply at eight cents."
Tang Luwu said nearby, "We don't have much dried fish. We only sell it to regular customers who have bought other food. If we only sell dried fish, we won't even be able to cover our costs."
Qin Huiyin looked at Tang Luwu with admiration.
Tang Luwu is becoming more and more bold. After getting Qin Huiyin's approval, she speaks louder, is more confident, and dares to express her ideas more.
At this point, Li Taohua had already come to the turning point. She said to the aunts who were listening to her with perked ears and worried faces as if they felt the same way, "But, our county has a miracle doctor from the capital. He guarantees that he can cure my husband's leg and that his leg will be restored to its original state."
"How is that possible? Your husband was already limping, we saw that, and now he's been beaten like that, adding insult to injury. It's good enough for him to be able to walk, but how can he recover as before? I say, Madam, did you get scammed? How much money did that scammer cheat you out of? Go and get it back quickly. It's not too late to go now."
Li Taohua hesitated. "No way, is that right? The doctor looks respectable and has a clear conscience. He doesn't seem like a liar. Anyway, we'll know the results in half a month. I'll trust him this time and see what happens in half a month."
"Which clinic? I live in the city. When I have time, I can ask around for you to see if the doctor there is any real talent."
"Yes, I'll go take a look when I have time. If he's a scammer, you have to take your man back. I understand how you feel, but if he's a scammer and you end up losing all your money and not being cured, that would be heartbreaking! It's not easy for you to earn this little money."
"You sisters are right, but I still want to give it a try. Sisters, please keep an eye on it for me when you are free. I don't have anything else to thank you for, so I'll give you a discount when the time comes."
Tang Luwu moved closer to Qin Huiyin and lowered her voice to ask, "What is mother doing?"
"If Doctor Wei is truly talented and has cured Uncle Tang's leg injury, then what my mother said today will serve as publicity for him, allowing more people to know about his medical skills. If his medical skills are not good and he is just seeking fame, then what my mother said today will be like a knife, stabbing him in the chest again and again, making it impossible for him to stay here."
Tang Luwu suddenly realized, and when she looked at Li Taohua again, her eyes became even more burning.
"Mom is so amazing, she never suffers any loss."
"Of course she's powerful. If she wasn't, she wouldn't have brought me here alive." Qin Huiyin said with a smile, "There are guests over there. Go check them out and stop staring blankly."
Feng Yayi came with his brothers and saw that their stall had returned to normal, with two more tables and eight more stools than before. He found a place to sit down.
"Little girl, we are here. Give us some of the delicious food today."
Qin Huiyin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be right there."
Qin Huiyin took a large wooden basin, took out fifty skewers of spicy hot pot at once and put them in it, and also scooped a lot of soup into it.
Seeing this, a yamen runner strode over and took over, smiling at Qin Huiyin: "Sister, you are generous."
"You guys eat first, there's more to come." Qin Huiyin said with a smile, "We have plenty of ingredients today."
The freshly grilled skewers were also ready, but they were for the guests. After she handed the skewers to the guests, she took fifty fresh pork skewers from the side and grilled them.
