Chapter 154 Want to bully me? No way
General Zhou's wife followed in with a cold face: "Madam Qu! Is your family so poor that you can't even afford the medical fee?
Doctor Du is the one who saved my general. My general's illness still depends on Doctor Du. Why are you making trouble? If you really can't afford the consultation fee, let me know and my General's Mansion will pay for you. "
"Sister-in-law Zhou is right." Chen Xiangxiu pushed Madam Qu away, looking grim. "My son's illness also depends on Doctor Du. What do you want to do by making such a fuss? Do you want Doctor Du to upset our two families? Do you want him to refuse to help you?
Isn't it just the consultation fee? If you can't afford it, our county governor's office will give it to you. What's wrong with you? Do you still want to see Doctor Du?"
The eldest master of the Chu family smiled and clasped his fists to Chen Xiangxiu and Zhou, saying, "You two ladies are joking. After all, Madam Qu is my sister's mother-in-law. If she really has no money to see a doctor, it is logically our Chu family that should pay for it, so how can it be your turn?"
Mrs. Qu's face turned red almost to the color of liver. She was no stranger to Chen Xiangxiu and Zhou. In fact, they often got together to drink tea and chat, and attend various gatherings.
They were respectful and smiling on weekdays, but why did they turn hostile in this small clinic? It was true that their men were stationed in Liangjun City, but her man's official position was not low either, so why did he yell in front of her?
"Madam Hou! You misunderstood. It was Doctor Du who was unreasonable. He asked for 1,000 taels of silver just to treat me. Which clinic in Liang County City dares to charge so much?"
The wife of the mighty general laughed first: "What's wrong with one thousand taels? Doctor Du treats difficult and complicated diseases. For my general's illness, let alone one thousand taels, I would be happy to pay five thousand taels. Isn't human life more valuable than money?"
Chen Xiangxiu didn't say anything, but just looked at Mrs. Qu coldly, and the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth was too obvious.
When the people outside the door saw that Doctor Du's supporters had arrived, they all spoke louder.
"Doctor Du is kindhearted. He treats poor people like us and gives us as much as we can without asking for anything. Madam is a noble lady, with a body worth thousands of gold. How can you not be able to pay the consultation fee like us lowly people?"
"Madam's illness should be a difficult and complicated one. If it is just a common cold, cough, headache or fever, why would Doctor Du charge so much?"
The patient who had just finished acupuncture treatment did not leave. She sat on the threshold of the People's Clinic, raised her hand and said loudly: "I testify that this lady's disease is a difficult and complicated disease."
Zhou Haotian shook his head slightly, with an indescribable expression: "Since it is a difficult and complicated disease, we have to ask for help from others, so we have to spend money to save our lives. Madam Qu! Money is something outside of the body, and your own health is more important!
My grandfather's illness was cured after seeing so many doctors, taking so many medicines and enduring so much pain. But he got better after meeting Dr. Du. Money is nothing. If you lose it, you can earn it again. "
Madam Qu still didn't think she had done anything wrong, and angrily retorted to Zhou Haotian: "It's you people who spoiled her appetite. She spent a thousand taels to see a doctor, and she ate human flesh?"
Chen Xiangxiu said coldly: "If you don't want to be treated, you can leave. Why do you stay in the clinic and make trouble? Does your master know that you are making such a fuss?"
The nanny who had just gotten up outside the door was startled, and quickly got up and came in, holding Madam Qu who was about to speak, and whispered in her ear: "Madam! I'm afraid we can't control this Doctor Du today, let's go back quickly! If the master knew, he would be very angry."
Du Wanwan remained silent, staring at Mrs. Qu with a cold gaze as she sat behind the examination table.
The wife of the prefect is really unreasonable. We have to let Aunt Hua and Xiao Qi go to her house to investigate. If they dare to make trouble here, the peace of the Qu family will be in jeopardy.
The nanny's reminder made Mrs. Qu shudder with fear. She knew she had made a mistake and felt very guilty.
"I'm not fooling around at all. It's Doctor Du who is fooling around. He charges one thousand taels for a medical consultation. He's more vicious than a bandit." Mrs. Qu said and walked out.
"Wait!" Du Wanwan suddenly said, pointing at the gift she brought, "Take your things. From now on, my People's Clinic will not accept any patients from the Qu family."
Madam Qu turned around, her face full of contempt: "If you don't want to receive me, then don't receive me. We have a doctor in our house, so it's not your turn to receive me. Besides, if you hadn't escaped from the famine and opened a clinic, we wouldn't have seen anything like it in Liang County."
"Very good! Remember what you said today." Du Wanwan asked her sister Du Xiuxiu to return the things to Mrs. Qu, "Come back another day, don't blame me for not saving your life."
"snort!"
Mrs. Qu snorted coldly and turned away. Chen Xiangxiu and General Weiwu's wife said hello to Du Wanwan and left one after another.
This is a clinic, there's nothing wrong with blocking the way.
The common people also left on their own initiative, but the old man of the Chu family had not left yet, with a bitter face: "Doctor Du! You have to take care of my sister's affairs! Although she is a member of the Qu family, she is not well-received after all."
Du Wanwan nodded: "Don't worry, Master Chu, I will take care of my patient to the end, and I will go to your house in the evening to change her medicine.
By the way, how was she when she woke up? Did she fart? Did she do what I told her to do? "
"Yes, yes, I have been doing what you told me to do." Hearing that Du Wanwan would take care of her sister, the Chu family's grandfather smiled and narrowed his eyes into slits, "I woke up last night and started eating this morning. Except for the pain in the wound on my belly, there are no other problems.
My little nephew is also doing well. He opens his eyes and looks around. He is very energetic. He is big and has a lot of weight when I hold him.”
"That's good. Just take good care of yourself in the future. A caesarean section is the same as any other birth. It's just a cut in the stomach, nothing else."
"Okay, thank you then!" After saying this, Uncle Chu left happily.
Ever since his daughter's facial disease was cured and his mother recovered, he felt that his life was complete.
Du Wenjun, Du Jiang and Yao Meixian were released from the backyard. They were relieved to see that their daughter was fine.
Just now, when Mrs. Qu started making a fuss, the three of them came out, but were ordered by Du Wanwan to go back and not allowed to come out.
They said they were afraid that Mrs. Qu would falsely accuse them of bullying others by taking advantage of their power.
They were unhappy about it, so Du Wanwan locked them all in the kitchen. Only after Mrs. Qu and the others left did she let Du Xiuxiu open the kitchen door.
"Wan Wan! Are you okay?" Yao Meixian looked at her daughter from head to toe, tears in her eyes, "How could the wife of the prefect be so unreasonable? It's a matter of one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten, how can she still make such a fuss?"
Du Wenjun had a dark face and didn't speak. There was hostility in his eyes. His fists were clenched and his breathing was heavy, like a trapped beast.
Du Jiang squatted on the ground, indignantly saying: "Rich people like to bully poor people, not to mention that we are refugees from famine, we have no roots and are more likely to be bullied."
Du Wanwan smiled slightly: "Dad! Mom! Have you forgotten your daughter's abilities? Want to bully me? No way."
