Chapter 436 Are you willing to provide free medical treatment?
In Jiutouzhai, because they hunted a big wild boar, the evening meals all smelled of meat.
"It seems that there's something special in the mountains behind Jiutou Village." Doctor Wang was eating the meat in his bowl. After dinner, he found Xiao Jiuyue and asked, "Jiuyue, how long will we stay in Jiutou Village this time?"
"Grandma's condition has improved a little, but if we hurry on the journey now, I'm worried that her condition will relapse and she won't be able to hold on." Xiao Jiuyue expressed her worries. She really wanted to go to Shengjing, but right now, her grandmother's health was not good, and she couldn't leave by force.
"Well, the old lady's illness has been going on for a long time, so it's best to wait a little longer." Doctor Xiao Wang nodded in agreement.
Xiao Jiuyue asked: "Master, do you want to go for a walk nearby?"
"In the mountains." Doctor Wang looked at the endless hills behind Jiutou Mountain and said, "There are many medicinal herbs in the mountains. Now it's spring, I want to go to the mountains and take a look. If I can pick some herbs, it would be great."
"Collecting herbs?" Xiao Jiuyue was surprised, but also felt that this was expected. His master was almost obsessed with medical skills and medicinal herbs, so he couldn't sit still. It was normal for him to want to go to the mountains to collect herbs.
"However, the sky is thick with fog and dark clouds. I'm afraid it's going to rain. Why don't we wait and see the weather tomorrow?"
Xiao Jiuyue suggested, "Master, I was just about to discuss this with you. There are so many people in Jiutou Village, and there's not a single doctor. Could I practice taking pulses? And by the way, could I offer free medical treatment to the people of Jiutou Village?"
She admires how everyone has transformed from bandits to good citizens, and now has become rich through hard work. At the same time, she also wants to do her best to help the people in this land.
"Free clinic?" Doctor Wang looked at Xiao Jiuyue and said, "Jiuyue, are you really willing to provide free clinic?"
When Doctor Wang heard these words, it was still the time when he was teaching Miao Hong. Miao Hong had married into the county government and became a young lady. That year, there were floods and droughts, and the people were suffering from hunger and disease.
Doctor Xiao Wang wanted to provide free medical treatment.
But what did Miao Hong, who was already the young lady of the county government at that time, say?
"Master, free clinics require a huge amount of manpower and financial resources. Those herbs were purchased with real money. How can we just give them away like that? Master, your medical skills are so superb. Wouldn't it be a huge loss to provide free clinics for just one day?"
"Master, with all the natural disasters and man-made calamities we face today, we should earn more money to save our lives."
"If one day we run out of food, as long as we have money, we can live a stable life even if we move to another place."
Miao Hong has lived a hard life since she was a child. She is afraid of poverty and worries that one day she will return to her past hard life!
When Doctor Wang heard what Miao Hong said, his heart sank. He understood that Miao Hong was afraid of having a hard life, but now that Miao Hong's hard life was over, why wasn't she willing to help others?
Miao Hong's mind was full of thoughts about how to make more money. Her medical skills improved as she became the county magistrate's wife, and her medical fees began to rise.
"Why not? Master, don't you want to provide free medical treatment?" Xiao Jiuyue asked in return, "Master, money is only a material possession. The people of Jiutou Village have it hard. And Gaoliang Village, I heard from Gao Shan that it's full of old, weak, and disabled people. If they have a little illness, they simply can't bear to spend money to go to the county to see a doctor."
Xiao Jiuyue had this idea, firstly to learn from experience, and secondly, he really wanted to help them. Now because of his grandmother's health, he stayed in Jiutouzhai, so he couldn't just sit there and do nothing, right?
"Yes, of course I am." Doctor Xiao Wang looked at Xiao Jiuyue and felt lucky again that he had decided to take Xiao Jiuyue in as his disciple just for a bite to eat. Otherwise...
"Master, then I will go find Xu Yang." After Xiao Jiuyue received the letter from Doctor Xiao Wang, he immediately went to find Xu Yang.
"Miss, you, you said free medical treatment?" Xu Yang was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Xiao Jiuyue in disbelief and asked excitedly, "Are you really going to provide free medical treatment for the people in our village?"
"Yes." Xiao Jiuyue nodded affirmatively and said, "Not only your village, but also Gaoliang Village."
When Xiao Jiuyue met Gao Shan before, she found that Gao Shan was very honest and hardworking. Most importantly, Gao Shan was filial. For the sake of his frail grandfather who could not walk, he stayed in Gaoliang Village. A person like him who is willing to endure hardships, is hardworking and filial, so shouldn't he be given a helping hand whenever possible?
"Miss, our village and Lao Gao will all remember your great kindness forever!" Xu Yang said excitedly. He couldn't wait to tell the boss the good news. He didn't care that it was the middle of the night and went to find Lao Gao early.
Lao Gao must be very happy to hear this news!
Lao Gao had taken Grandpa to the county to see a doctor before, but unfortunately, the doctor in the county was not very skilled and could not diagnose or cure the disease.
If the doctors around the young lady are willing to treat her, not to mention providing free treatment, they would also be willing to do so even for money!
Subconsciously, Xu Yang thought that the doctor beside Xiao Jiuyue was definitely not an ordinary doctor. At least, his medical skills were much better than those of the doctors in the county!
As the night deepened, Xiao Jiuyue packed up the medicine they brought with them. They could provide free medical treatment, but as for the herbs, they would have to get them themselves. They didn't bring much medicine with them on this trip.
When the time comes, we will focus on the serious rule of man.
"Miss." Xiao Jiuyue was counting the herbs. Seeing Jin Wu and Hua Qing coming, and seeing Hua Qing's rare shyness, she jokingly said, "Will I be able to drink in your wedding wine soon?"
"Miss, Jin Wu and I have decided to be together!" Hua Qing's face turned slightly red, but her voice was still as firm as usual.
"Congratulations." Xiao Jiuyue said sincerely, looking at Jin Wu and said, "Hua Qing is a good girl, you must treat her well." The longer they spent together, the more Xiao Jiuyue discovered that Hua Qing had a simple personality, liked fortune-telling and was willing to help others.
Of course, when facing the enemy, Hua Qing would not show any mercy when he took ruthless action.
"Don't worry, Miss." Jin Wu's face flushed to his ears. "After returning to Shengjing and reporting to Father, I'll ask Father to make the decision for me and marry Hua Qing!"
Jin Wu glanced at Hua Qing sideways. He was still very grateful that he had resolutely taken Hua Qing away today, and at the same time, expressed his feelings.
Otherwise, he would definitely miss it.
"Um."
After Jin Wu left, Xiao Jiuyue left Hua Qing alone and said, "Hua Qing, don't take advantage of the fact that he likes you and bully him everywhere!" Before their relationship was made clear, Hua Qing liked to bully Jin Wu. Now that their relationship was made clear, Jin Wu would probably be dominated by his wife even more in the future.
"Hehe." Hua Qing grinned and said, "Don't worry, Miss, I'm not really bullying him, I just like to see him jump up and down in anger!"
