Chapter 319: A Doctor’s Benevolence
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Chai was concerned about his wife’s health. He knew someone had cured Ding Wan, but he was unsure if that person could help his wife.
Lin Chai had sold some of his wheat during the summer and rice after the autumn harvest. In addition, he had earned more than 30 coins from working in the fields some time ago. He thought he could afford some medicine for his wife and find her a doctor for consultation.
Lin Chai was usually afraid of others laughing at him because of his stuttering, so he typically dared not speak in a crowd. However, he could not care less about that now for his wife’s sake.
An older woman from the village listened to the crowd’s discussions and said,
“Binglan did not say she would visit more patients.”
“But the Su family are good people, so everyone thought of asking them for help,” a villager said.
“It’s good that they help, but if it’s inconvenient for Binglan to help, you can’t blame her. You guys should know that Binglan is not a doctor, so no one can force her to treat anyone.”
Everyone heard Old Madam Li’s words, and someone said, “We know that, Old Madam Li. We can never repay the Su family’s kindness, but we’ll never have bad intentions toward them.”
“Don’t worry, Old Madam Li. We were just wondering, that’s all.”
“Of course, we’ll also pay Miss Su a consultation fee if she ever decides to help us.”
The villagers only gathered to express their views to one another. After all, they were considerate and knew even doctors would charge them.
Besides treating Ding Wan with acupuncture over the past few days, Su Binglan was preparing to build her embroidery shop. After buying 400 acres of land, she had to use it somehow.
Fortunately, the tofu factory raked in money daily, so the family had earned quite a bit in the past few days. Su Binglan had enough to build her embroidery
She drew the shop’s blueprints and included a dormitory in the back for her future employees to rest. However, few villagers knew how to sew, and most already had jobs at the tofu factory.
If Su Binglan needed to hire people who knew how to sew for the embroidery shop, she had to hire people from surrounding villages.
Some of these villages were far from Su Teng Village, so it was inconvenient for some to go through and fro. That was why Su Binglan planned to build a dormitory in the shop’s back so that everyone could rest there conveniently.
She had plans for those 400 acres of land, wanting to build commercial areas, residential areas, and schools. That was what she wanted for the future, but now, she knew she should do it one step at a time.
After building the embroidery shop, Su Binglan would tell her employees to make dolls, handicrafts, handbags, school bags, and such.
She had previously made school bags for Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai, and their classmates envied them. Of course, Su Binglan later made one for Baili Xihong as well.
She heard from the three little ones that many of their classmates at the academy would ask them where they bought their school bags. After all, it would be more convenient for the students to carry their things to school if they had one.
After hearing these things from her nephews and Baili Xihong, Su Binglan decided she wanted to make more school bags. Still, he had limited energy and could not make school bags for everyone back then.
Moreover, Shen Qiuhua and Liu Yinyin were not good at sewing and could not make such things. Nonetheless, Su Binglan could arrange these things after establishing her embroidery shop.
By then, her Aunt Ding Wan would have recovered fully and could be in charge of helping Su Binglan supervise the shop workers.
Su Binglan was writing her plans on her desk at home when a villager came knocking on the door. It was Old Madam Li.
The evening had yet to arrive, and every Su family member had things to do. Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu were the only ones at home.
Su Wenxiu was spending time planting medicinal herbs when he heard the knocking. He hurriedly went to the main door to welcome the person, “Old Madam Li? Why are you here?”
The old lady leaned on her walking stick and said, “Hello, Wenxiu. Is your sister home?
“Do you need her for something, Old Madam Li?”
“Yes, I wanted to ask if your sister is available. Many villagers want to ask your sister to give them or their family members a check-up. Of course, everyone will pay for the consultation fee.”
There were no doctors in Su Teng Village, so if anyone had a headache, fever, or other illnesses, they would have to travel far, sometimes even in the middle of the night, to find a doctor. Some would even have to go to town.
However, the doctors who worked in town would go home at night, so the villagers would not find an open clinic in the middle of the night. That was why the people of Su Teng Village always did their best not to get sick.
Since Old Madam Li was an elderly villager, everyone asked her to ask for Su Binglan’s help. She was also warm-hearted and immediately agreed, hoping the villagers would be well and not suffer.
Some even froze to death during the winter in the earlier years, and Old Madam Li no longer wanted to hear of such things.
The ones who died such terrible deaths were from the same village, and the villagers would feel uneasy whenever something like that happened.
Therefore, Old Madam Li also intended to ask if Su Binglan would take house
After hearing Old Madam Li’s words, Su Wenxiu understood her intentions. Everyone had heard of his Aunt Ding Wan’s recovery and thought highly of his younger sister’s medical skills.
In the past, everyone felt incredulous after hearing that his father’s foot and his uncle’s hand had recovered. They did not think much of it and assumed their injuries were minor and could recover naturally.
However, the changes in Ding Wan were highly evident, so everyone finally believed that Su Binglan was knowledgeable in medicine and possessed outstanding medical skills. That was why everyone wanted to ask for her help.
“Old Madam Li, quickly come in. Have a glass of water while I look for my sister.” Su Wenxiu invited Old Madam Li into the house and then went to tell Su Binglan about her visit.
Su Binglan was stunned. “I treated my father’s foot and uncle’s hand last time.
I thought the villagers would come to see me then, not after I treated Aunt
Su Wenxiu understood what his sister meant. “So, you’re willing to help everyone as a doctor, right?”
Su Binglan said, “Doctors are benevolent, and we’re part of this village. If the villagers have problems, I will help them. Still, I’m not prepared to be a doctor, but you can.”
“Sister, when I become a doctor, I will help all the villagers and everyone else.”
Su Binglan looked at her brother with admiration and said, “It’s good that you have such ambitions, Second Brother. How about this? You will spend half a day visiting the villagers every week. You will follow me and learn here and at the town hospital.
“Visual learning alone is not as practical, so by combining theory and practice, you can grasp more knowledge more efficiently. Also, have you memorized all the acupoints from the diagram I drew for you last time?
Su Binglan had been busy lately and had forgotten to ask Su Wenxiu about
Su Wenxiu nodded thoughtfully, saying, “I’ve memorized everything and can even draw that diagram by memory, Sister.”
He had studied and looked at Su Binglan’s diagram every day, so he could even close his eyes and imagine it perfectly.
Su Binglan nodded. “Very good. Now it’s time for you to take what you learned and put them into practice. Go and tell Old Madam Li that I’ll visit everyone tomorrow afternoon. Also, I’m only available one afternoon weekly, so the next visit will be the week after this.”
Su Wenxiu said, “Okay, I’ll go and tell her now. The villagers will be pleased. Any complicated illnesses won’t be a problem with you around.”
As if he had thought of something, he turned back and added, “Oh right, Sister, there’s also a consultation fee, right?”
