088 Mr. Prefect, please
Shopkeeper Wu was a little short of breath: "This is not a good thing after all. My son still has to live a good life in the future. I..."
Sun Wen was impatient: "Tell me, is it possible to settle the account now?"
"Yes, I can make up for it. I'll ask Mr. He for two months' worth of medicine. I'm also planning to borrow from someone and ask Manager Qin for an advance. My wife is also planning to borrow from her old sisters. I'm definitely not greedy."
The most you can do is use it first and pay it off later, but it would be wrong to do it privately without the eldest son's permission.
"Manager Wu, you'd better give me the bill as soon as possible. Yes, it's really as you said, the eldest master is here. I will take you to see him. It's better to bring your son with you. There are not many doctors in the Great Zhou who are better than the eldest master."
"I know, I know. I'll go right away."
Looking at the flustered Shopkeeper Wu, Sun Wen shook his head.
How could a very sober person become so confused when encountering his son?
Can you just take any folk remedy?
He didn't dare to do that. It was easy to eat, but what if something went wrong?
There are indeed no particularly good doctors in Baicaotang in Yinshui County, but it is enough for the county.
But you can go find Manager Qin. There are still several good doctors in Baicaotang in the capital.
My son should have some dignity. We are all family. Just give him instructions in secret. Why do you have to do this?
If he hadn't lost his composure, his wife wouldn't have rushed home in a hurry to get the money, resulting in years of savings going down the drain.
After five years as the shopkeeper and the previous monthly salary, even if some of it was spent, there were still two hundred taels left. The eldest master was always generous to his own people.
Sun Wen spent the whole morning carefully checking the accounts of Yinshui Baicaotang and found that they were indeed balanced with no problems.
No problem doesn't mean it's right.
If He Jin had not realized that something was wrong, he would have taken the medicine for another two months. Such medicine would have cost more than two hundred taels in two months. What if he couldn't borrow much?
Shopkeeper Qin can indeed advance one year's payment, but it's only forty or sixty taels at most.
Okay, Shopkeeper Qin should lend him some money himself. How much can he lend? His wife's old sister can't borrow much money, about ten or twenty taels.
If it’s not enough, should we just owe it?
That's definitely not right.
He told this to Shopkeeper Wu, who turned pale and said, "I plan to borrow money for one month's medicine first, and then find a way for the remaining month."
Sun Wen sighed, "Old Wu, for the sake of the children and your wife's years of hard work, I will let you go this time.
When you get to the capital, don't tell the eldest master that your family's savings are lost. Just say that you are still short of money and are going to ask Manager Qin for an advance."
"Mr. Sun, then am I lying to the eldest master?"
Sun Wen glared at him and said, "Your account has been settled now, and the remaining medicine has not arrived yet. Maybe the eldest master can cure your son's illness, so you don't need to take the remaining medicine.
This folk remedy is really good. You can continue to take it. You can ask Manager Qin to advance some of it. When you have a hundred taels, I will lend you another hundred. You can pay it back anytime. There is no need to make the eldest master angry.
What's more, he is in charge of so many people and so many things. You are definitely wrong. What should he do? The facts are already on the table. It would be unfair if he doesn't punish you, but he can't bear to punish you. What about your wife and children?"
Shopkeeper Wu immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Sun Yat-sen, and no one could stop him.
Sun Yat-sen had something on his mind, so he took Manager Wu and his son back to the provincial capital that afternoon.
At this time, Sun Sicheng received a warm reply from Governor Hou in the morning, inviting him to meet at Wanxiang Tower the next morning.
Everything is going for the best.
I just don’t know what problems Sun Yat-sen can find now.
To be honest, he was most reluctant to punish the elderly who had been around him for many years.
But every country has its own laws, and every family has its own rules. If you make a mistake, you must be punished. Otherwise, if everyone learns from them, what else can you do?
It was dark. When the dusty Sun Wen came over with the shopkeeper Wu and his son, Sun Sicheng had just finished taking Ping An for a stroll.
Sun Wen asked Da Zhuang to take Wu Lei downstairs to rest first. The child didn't know the specific situation yet, so he should continue to be kept in the dark.
Three people are in the study.
Sun Wen told the story again, naturally speaking as he had agreed with Manager Wu.
In fact, he would tell the eldest son everything in the future and it would be impossible for him to hide anything from him. Then what kind of person would he be?
Shopkeeper Wu is a loyal and honest man. He did make some mistakes this time, but it is not impossible to turn things around.
When the real facts come before the eldest son, some things are difficult to resolve.
It would be better if he gave Manager Wu and the eldest son a way out so that both sides could save themselves.
"You are so confused. Do folk remedies work? Even though you are not a doctor, you have worked in a clinic for many years, so you must know something."
"I showed the folk remedy to Doctor Zhang and told him I was using it myself. He laughed at me for a long time and said it was indeed effective for men."
Sun Sicheng was angry: "The prescriptions that are useful for men are basically for kidney deficiency. Your son is still a teenager. It is very likely that he has problems in other areas, not necessarily kidneys. Did your son bring it?"
"I brought it. Da Zhuang brought it just now."
"Go and bring him here. I'll examine him now. I'm afraid I won't be available tomorrow."
Shopkeeper Wu trotted out.
Sun Sicheng stared at Sun Wen: "Is there anything else? That honest man stuttered and felt guilty."
"I'll tell you later. There was something wrong, but it wasn't a big deal."
Sun Sicheng breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't want anything to happen to his subordinates.
The 15-year-old boy, with delicate features and gentle manner, now had red ears and face, and looked a little at a loss.
Sun Wen directly asked Manager Wu to wait outside.
"Wu Lei, I'm a doctor. I heard that you are also studying medicine now. People who study medicine don't have to be shy about talking about these things.
Boys can get married at the age of fifteen. If they still cannot get erect, there is definitely something wrong. However, many problems are not unsolvable.
Do you trust my medical skills? I will diagnose you and treat you accordingly."
Wu Lei nodded: "Please help me, Master."
Sun Sicheng examined him for a long time and asked him many questions carefully, including those about the most private parts.
Wu Lei was embarrassed to speak to his father, so he told everything to the eldest son.
Sun Sicheng also examined him, and the fact was just as he thought, it was just prostatitis. The boy was embarrassed to tell his father, so he did not receive timely treatment.
Later I found something was wrong. The mental pressure was increasing, and naturally my performance became worse and worse.
The medicine I took that month was completely useless. Of course, there was no major harm, it just wasted a hundred taels of silver.
But if you continue to take it for two months, I'm afraid it won't be good.
"Go ahead and ask your father to come in."
After hearing what Sun Sicheng said, Sun Wen was dumbfounded.
Shopkeeper Wu was crying and laughing at the same time. If the eldest master said it could be cured, then it could be cured.
Fortunately, He Jin noticed something was wrong, otherwise his son would have been really ruined if he had to take medicine for another two months.
Sun Sicheng, by candlelight, prescribed some medicine for Wu Lei: one for washing and one for drinking.
"Wu Lei, I have just told you these precautions. Go back and do exactly as I say.
Shopkeeper Wu, let Ruyi pick up these medicines here tomorrow morning. No need to pay for them. I will put them on your account. Try using them for a month first.
Bring your child here for a follow-up visit in a month. We should be here for the next three months. I am confident that I can cure his disease."
Both the father and the son cried for joy, and the stone that was weighing on their hearts was finally gone.
Shopkeeper Wu pulled his son to the table and knelt down: "Father and son Wu Tugen kowtow to the eldest master. Thank you very much, eldest master."
Sun Wen and the other two kowtowed before they were pulled up.
The matter was finally resolved perfectly, and he was very happy.
