Chapter 160 Doctor Du! I apologize to you
After sitting quietly for a while, Mrs. Qu asked doubtfully, "Do you think it's possible that Doctor Du was behind our family's problems?"
"How is that possible?" The nanny shook her head like a rattle. "Madam! The ones who are disturbing us are not humans, but mice, wild cats, and wild dogs. Doctor Du may be good at curing diseases and saving lives, but he can never summon these beasts who can't speak human language. You are overthinking it."
Du Wanwan: “!!!!”
No, Mrs. Qu didn't think too much about it. Her guess was correct. Those mice, wild cats and wild dogs were indeed brought by me.
"You're right. That doctor might be good at seeing patients, but he definitely can't communicate with these beasts. I'm overthinking it."
Mrs. Qu didn't think Du Wanwan had the ability to control these mute beasts.
The nanny sighed inwardly: My wife! It's not that you think too much, it's that you didn't sleep well at all, and you went to the Buddhist temple to chant sutras all day, your brain is a mess.
The master and servant listened to the dog barking for a while. They were so sleepy that they could not open their eyes, but they still could not fall asleep. It was a really sour feeling.
After a sleepless night, everyone in the Qu family walked unsteadily the next day.
Some servants would fall asleep holding the broom while sweeping the floor.
The girl who was in charge of the fire in the kitchen was sitting there sleeping like a dead pig, and she didn't even notice that the firewood in the stove was burned out.
The old woman who was cooking was stirring the rice soup in the pot with a spatula in her hand. She yawned as she stirred and didn't even notice that her tears, snot and saliva were falling into the pot.
Qu Quanwei and his two sons, however, pulled themselves together and went to the yamen, while the others who had nothing to do could catch up on their sleep during the day.
They can't do that, they have official duties to attend to. Not to mention not getting enough sleep, even if it rains knives from the sky, they have to go on.
One day passed, and in the blink of an eye, night fell again. As long as it was dark, the Qu family members were terrified, not knowing what they would face tonight.
There were no mice, cats or dogs tonight, but owls came. Hundreds of owls flew in and scattered over the roof of Qu's house.
The cry of an owl is very unpleasant, low and mournful, and it makes people feel frightened and chilly, as there is a folk legend.
When night owls come into the house, good things will come instead of bad things.
Hearing one owl hoot is creepy enough, let alone hundreds of them hooting at the same time.
When the owl called, the timid ones in the Qu family started crying, and several servants were so scared that they trembled and huddled together.
No one in the yard dared to walk out of the house. They all hid in the house and dared not come out.
Qu Quanwei heard the hooting of many owls outside and rushed into Mrs. Qu's room. Before he could speak, Mrs. Qu cried and said, "I will go right away. I will go as soon as the sun rises tomorrow and will definitely ask for Doctor Du's forgiveness."
"Jin! It's better to do this. Otherwise, if anything happens to my Qu family, I will never let you go."
Qu Quanwei was about to leave when Madam Qu hugged him and said, "Master! Don't go, don't go, I'm scared."
"You asked for it." Qu Quanwei pushed the man away, his eyes reddening, "If you hadn't caused trouble, how could our Qu family be so uneasy? How could we get involved with these things? Get out!"
After he finished speaking, Qu Quanwei left on his own. He did not go to any concubine's room, but went to the study.
I sat quietly all night, listening to the terrifying sound on the roof.
The owl made a lot of noise all night and flew away at daybreak. Mrs. Qu quickly lay down and took a nap, then got up, washed, and brought her nanny to the People's Clinic.
Du Wanwan had already gotten up, the door of the pharmacy was already open, and patients lined up to see the doctor. Most of them were poor people, and the old rules were still followed: those with money gave money, and those without money gave things.
Mrs. Qu's carriage arrived at the People's Clinic and stopped among a group of ragged people, which was quite abrupt.
She no longer cared about her face. The owl's cry last night made her tremble with fear. She got off the carriage, ran straight to Du Wanwan, knelt down, and kowtowed for mercy.
"Doctor Du! I was wrong. Please forgive me! I will never do it again. Doctor Du! I was blind and didn't know what was good for me. I caused trouble in Doctor Du's clinic. I apologize to you. Please let me go! Let the Qu family go!"
Du Xiuxiu looked at Mrs. Qu, who looked haggard and withered after not seeing her for a few days, and she really admired her elder brother. She said that Mrs. Qu would come to their clinic again, and she did come.
But the eldest brother didn't say anything, and she was too lazy to pay attention to him. People like this should be punished severely, otherwise they don't know what they have done wrong.
Du Wanwan ignored her and continued to treat patients. In the past, if she dared to treat herself like this, Mrs. Qu would have scolded her.
But now, she really didn't dare. The owl last night really scared her, and if it happened again, she might be scared to death.
An apology must be made sincerely, just like she would kowtow to the Buddha on a daily basis. Mrs. Qu knelt respectfully, not daring to make any complaints.
For fear of angering Du Wanwan, strange things kept happening at home.
The nanny beside her also knelt with her, secretly observing the behavior of the people in the People's Clinic from time to time.
In the past, I had only heard that the People’s Clinic was very special. If you didn’t have money for the consultation, you could use other things to pay for it. Even if you didn’t have money, firewood chopped from the mountains would be enough.
She never believed it and felt that the doctor at the People's Clinic was a fool. If he continued to run the clinic like this, he would lose all his family fortune.
Seeing it with my own eyes today was truly bizarre.
Looking at the young doctor sitting above me, who looked calm and unconcerned, I felt that I was short-sighted.
If they really have to pay compensation, how can the People’s Clinic continue to exist?
When he saw someone taking away the vegetables, fruits and leaving silver, his eyes widened even more.
Madam Qu is also a well-known figure in Liangjun City. After all, she is the concrete example of a sparrow turning into a phoenix. In addition, the strange things that have happened to the Qu family in recent days have made it clear that both the common people and the officials have heard something about their family.
In addition, Mrs. Qu knelt down in front of the People's Clinic to apologize, which further confirmed that she was wrong in causing a scene in the clinic a few days ago.
"This Madam Qu is really reaping what she sowed. Doctor Du is such a good person, yet she is repaying kindness with hatred."
"This is a slap in the face! Doctor Du saved two lives of her family, but she complained that he charged too much for the consultation and had to make a fuss. This is her retribution!"
"I heard that their family had been harassed for several days and they couldn't stand it anymore so they came to ask for forgiveness."
"It's really amazing to talk about it. After Madam Qu came to the People's Clinic and made trouble that day, the Qu family couldn't rest that night. It seems that Doctor Du was blessed by God and came here specifically to help us poor people."
"Of course not. In the entire Liangjun City, which clinic will provide us with a place to barter? Doctor Du's medicine is okay. A few pills will cure the cold. Such a good doctor must be looked after by God."
"We all have to take care of him in the future. If Dr. Du is forced away by these powerful people, who will treat us?"
