Chapter 128 Sincerely Inviting to the Chu Family
Tong Wu was embarrassed: "Doctor Du! You taught him the prescription for curing the disease, so it's only natural for him to call you master. If we weren't master and apprentice, who would tell him such a rare secret prescription?"
"ah?"
Du Wanwan held her forehead with her hand. How could she forget that the ancients paid the most attention to red tape. Why would she have to accept such a big disciple just because he accidentally mentioned a folk remedy?
It's so scary! She doesn't want it.
Liu Changshan was about the same age as her father, so how could he accept someone as his apprentice? He couldn't get over that hurdle psychologically.
"Doctor Liu! Hurry up and get up. I have no intention of taking you as my apprentice. I just saw you asking questions, so I taught you a folk remedy. How does it have to do with becoming my apprentice? If you are like this, don't come to me with any questions in the future."
Du Wanwan pretended to be angry and stood up to leave, but was stopped by Tong Wu.
"Doctor Du! Don't be angry, I'll let Doctor Liu get up." Tong Wu comforted Du Wanwan and pulled Liu Changshan up, "Don't be so fussy all the time, you're scaring Doctor Du."
"I'm sorry! I was too excited." Liu Changshan sat down and sighed, "I have always been the one treating the Chu family's illnesses, and I have also been the one taking care of Chu Hanfeng's face. But after so many years, I haven't found any good solution.
Miss Chu not only did not blame me, but also kept comforting me, which made me feel ashamed. As a doctor, I can't relieve the pain of the patient, and I have to watch her being misunderstood without being able to find the reason. How sad it is. "
Du Wanwan didn't say anything and continued to drink tea. Although Tong Wu's tea was not very good, it seemed that there was nothing to do besides drinking tea. It was really embarrassing to just sit there and do nothing.
How come Chu Hanfeng also got the nickname of disaster star like her? It's a pity that she is Liu Changshan's patient, otherwise she would be happy to take off the label on her.
Tong Wu sat aside and said nothing. He was just a middleman, a go-between. He didn't know anything about patients and prescriptions, but he knew where the paper was good and which academy was good at teaching and educating people.
"Doctor Du! Could you please go to the Chu family? Give me some advice? The old lady's illness has been recurring and the old man of the Chu family is very distressed." Liu Changshan stood up, bowed to Du Wanwan, and invited her sincerely.
"This is not a good idea! He's your patient, what would happen if I went there? Aren't you afraid that I would steal your client?" Du Wanwan asked deliberately.
The ancients attached great importance to privacy, reputation, and integrity. If Liu Changshan took her with him, the Chu family might be angry with him and no longer invite him to their house for medical treatment.
This has completely cut off his source of income.
Besides, she was a refugee from famine, and she had no foundation, so the Chu family might not allow her to see a doctor. In the eyes of the noble family, refugees like them were pariahs and were not worthy of their attention.
"It doesn't matter!" Liu Changshan shook his head, "As long as the Chu family's illness can be cured, nothing else matters. Doctor Du! Could you please come with me right now?
The eldest daughter of the Chu family began to have red spots on her face again, and was locked up in the ancestral hall. The Chu family said that the old lady's illness was caused by her. I know it's not the case, but I can't do anything about it. "
Du Wanwan put down the teacup, glanced at Liu Changshan, and finally nodded helplessly: "Okay! I'll go with you, bring the silver needle, the old lady of the Chu family may need it for her illness."
"Yes! Thank you, Doctor Du!" Liu Changshan turned around and left immediately. "Then I'll go get ready and drive a carriage to pick you up in a while!"
“Hmm!”
Du Wanwan stood up and followed him out and entered her own medicine hall.
Du Xiuxiu was a smart person. When she saw Du Wanwan coming in, she ran to her side and said, "Brother! What does Doctor Liu want you to do? Can you help me?"
"Yes!" Du Wanwan touched her head, "I want to go to the Chu family to see them. I heard that the old lady of the Chu family is seriously ill."
"That's not good! If something happens, will it be blamed on Big Brother?"
Hearing this, Du Wanwan smiled: "Girl! Do you know how to care about your brother? Don't worry! Your brother is not a fool. He knows what to do and what not to do."
Even though Du Xiuxiu knew that Du Wanwan was the eldest sister, she still liked to call her big brother. It was probably because she called her big brother the first time she met her.
It seems that calling him "big brother" makes me feel more at ease and I feel absolutely safe. All the family affairs depend on my big brother. Without him, the family doesn't know what to do.
She didn't want anything to happen to her elder brother. She hoped that he was fine. She hadn't grown up yet and hadn't repaid her elder brother for saving her life.
Du Xiuxiu smiled and looked up at Du Wanwan: "It's good that you know, brother. Xiuxiu is worrying too much."
"I'll go out in a while and close the door of the pharmacy. I'll give you half a day off so you can go out and have some fun." Du Wanwan went to the backyard to tell her parents that she was going out and had to tell them clearly.
Du Jiang and Yao Meixian were still washing pig offal, but when they heard that their daughter was going out, they both put down their work.
Yao Meixian asked worriedly, "Did Manager Liu from Huichuntang ask you to go to the Chu family?"
"How did you get involved with him?" Du Jiang was also worried, "Do you want dad to accompany you?"
"Yes, let your father stay with you! Otherwise, mom will be worried." After all, her daughter is a girl, and it would be terrible if something went wrong.
"Don't worry! I'll go with Doctor Liu to see the old lady and Miss Chu of the Chu family. Nothing will happen." Du Wanwan clenched her fist and raised it in front of Yao Meixian, "Mother, have you forgotten that I'm as strong as a mountain? Anyone who dares to provoke me without knowing their own strength is blind."
When their daughter reminded them, Du Jiang and Yao Meixian both breathed a sigh of relief. Yes! How could they forget that their daughter's body was different from that of an ordinary person, and not something that ordinary people could handle.
"You have to be careful. There are many strange rules in wealthy families. If you make a mistake, you will be caught." Yao Meixian taught Du Wanwan earnestly, "Our family has finally settled down and lives a rich life. We don't have to worry about food and clothing. Mother doesn't want you to have any mishaps."
Du Jiang nodded and said, "The Chu family was taken over by Doctor Liu. Can we not join in the fun? Your mother and I are worried when you leave. We are not familiar with the people in Liangjun City."
"It's okay, I'll go take a look." Du Wanwan quickly comforted her parents.
She knew that they had suffered all kinds of shocks during their escape from famine, and her parents would be worried at the slightest sign of trouble.
Life nowadays is much better than when we were in my hometown. Naturally, I hope that my family will be safe and sound without any accidents.
Especially for her, whenever she goes out, her parents stare at her eagerly, reluctant to keep her under their eyes all day long.
Du Jiang wanted to say something else, but Liu Changshan's voice came from outside: "Doctor Du! Can we go now?"
"Okay." Du Wanwan agreed, and then said goodbye to her parents, "Dad! Mom! I'll be back soon, don't worry."
After saying that, she turned and left. Du Jiang and Yao Meixian followed her figure with their eyes until she disappeared from sight.
Then they looked at each other, sat down again, and washed the pig offal with sad faces.
