Li Xiami gritted his teeth, but before he could say anything, Liu Yu tossed the medicine in her hand to Qu Dan, raised her chin high, and looked down at her with her nose. "This is donkey-hide gelatin, a holy blood tonic, something that even pregnant women in the city can't get even if they pay for it. You're lucky to have found it today. Take it home and drink it with this Chinese medicine."
People in the countryside had never heard of donkey hide gelatin, but since it was something that even pregnant women in the city couldn't buy, it must be very expensive. Qu Dan asked, "Is this donkey hide gelatin very expensive? How much does it cost?"
"This one is 35 yuan."
"hiss!"
Not only Qu Dan gasped, but Li's mother and the people queuing behind her were also shocked by the price.
“It’s so expensive.”
Qu Dan was also frightened by the price. She glanced at the man and said quickly, "Doctor Liu, the last time I went to the hospital for a checkup, the doctor said the baby was in good condition and had adequate nutrition. I shouldn't need..."
Before she could finish her words, Liu Yu interrupted her again, and her tone was particularly harsh: "If you don't want to buy medicine from me, don't come to see me."
"How do you talk like that, doctor?"
Li Xiami immediately defended his wife and was about to argue with her when his mother stopped him and said, "Sandong, stop talking."
After that, Li's mother asked Liu Yu again, "Doctor Liu, this donkey-hide gelatin is too expensive. Can you make it cheaper? Or prescribe less, or break it off in half?"
Seeing how poor they looked, Liu Yu felt disgusted and said rudely, "If you can afford it, buy it. If you can't, get out. I still want to see the next one."
Mother Li had never met someone with such a bad temper, but she thought that he was a college student from a big city and had the capital to be proud. Since donkey-hide gelatin was so expensive, it must be effective. She thought that eating this stuff would give her a big fat grandson, so she didn't care about the discomfort in her heart and decided: "Okay, let's buy it."
"Mom, no, it's too expensive." Qu Dan disagreed.
"Do you want it or not? Make a decision quickly and don't waste my time here." Liu Yu's voice rose.
Seeing her attitude, Li Xiami inexplicably had the urge to punch her, but Qu Dan stopped him in time and stood up, "No more."
"want."
For the sake of her precious grandson, Mother Li made a valiant effort and took out the money her son gave her every month. "Doctor Liu, what do you think the total amount is?"
Qu Dan didn't want it, thinking it was too expensive. He pulled the man's arm and winked at him.
Li Xiami thought this thing was more valuable than gold, and it was some kind of blood-boosting product. It should be good for her and the baby, so she didn't try to stop her mother from buying it. Instead, she advised her, "Just buy it. It's probably worth it for its price. As long as it's good for you and your mother, it's worth the money."
The other old ladies in the back heard what Li Xiami said and started to tease him, "Hey, Li Xiami, you're such a wimp! I never knew you loved your wife so much. You bought her such an expensive thing without even saying anything."
"The girl from the Qu family was determined to marry Li Xiami and refused all the other men who came to propose marriage. It seems she married the right man."
"This Li Xiami is really good. Even before Qu Dan was diagnosed with childlessness by the doctor, he never abandoned her. He even protected her even when her parents argued and split up. For a woman like this, it's worth dying for a man who protects her like this."
“…”
The people behind were talking at once. Mother Li happened to hear the words "it's worth dying" and immediately said "Pah, pah" a few times: "What nonsense are you talking about? You're talking about dying on a beautiful day. Old Qiu, do you know how to talk?"
"Shut up, and get out of here if you're causing trouble."
Liu Yu didn't understand what they were saying and instinctively disliked them, venting the anger that had been pent up in her heart on them.
Li Wang pushed the door open and came in, speaking frivolously, "Doctor Liu, what's going on? I heard you getting angry from a distance. Who made you angry?"
Liu Yu didn't look happy when he saw him coming, and ignored him. Instead, she sullenly yelled at Li Xiami, who was standing in front of her, "Just leave when you're done. Why are you standing here like a goalpost?"
Li Xiami is not usually one to get angry easily. He is well-known in the team for his good temper. But this morning, Liu Yu made him want to hit him several times. Now he couldn't hold it in any longer: "You are a college student, but your manners are not as good as those of us illiterate peasants. I think you read books from your asshole."
"Say it to me again." Liu Yu slammed the table and jumped up.
"You think I dare not say it?"
Li Xiami wasn't afraid of her. He pointed at the office of the commune cadre next door and said, "Believe it or not, I'm going to the commune leadership right now to report you. The county party committee leaders were so kind and amiable when they came to inspect us, shaking hands when they spoke to us. And you, a doctor sent down from above to provide support, are here every day losing your temper, pointing at us, cursing us, and taking your punching bag out on us. Who do you think you are?"
"That's right. If you don't want to be a doctor here, you don't have to come. You also don't have to do any free clinics. Since we are doing free clinics, you should be nicer to the people. We don't owe you anything." Another mother-in-law also echoed.
"Oh, she's a college student, a top-notch college student, and she's also the daughter of a wealthy family. She has a bad temper. You country bumpkins, why are you talking so much? She said you just listen."
"Yes, no matter what they say, you should accept it. Don't fight back when you're beaten or scolded. Just be a slave in front of the high and mighty young lady."
“…”
Seeing everyone sarcastically attacking Liu Yu, Li Wang immediately jumped out to act as a protector: "What are you doing? The higher-ups kindly sent Dr. Liu to support your Red Star Commune, but you don't appreciate it. Are you all ungrateful?"
