The door was closed. Zhang Xiuyun wanted to speak, but the two girls turned their heads away one after another and ignored her. One of them fetched water and the other took a towel. They washed up together, blew out the oil lamp, and climbed into bed to sleep.

No words were spoken the whole time.

Zhang Xiuyun stood by the bed for a long time, realizing that she was separated from her three daughters after all, and her heart sank. She listened to her brother and let Jiang Xi marry someone else as a stepmother. Wasn't it because the man was a battalion commander and he wanted her to live a good life?

She is no longer a stepmother, but it is the same as if she has no man. How can she live on pensions?

Her mother-in-law didn't say anything now because of guilt, but if Pei Hejun really had any problems, how could she look at her favorably? By then, she would have no son, no man, and how would she live when her parents-in-law got old?

Like herself, her husband had an accident, and all she gave birth to were daughters. She could barely get food to eat every day, and that was all. She had no way of seeing a way out for the rest of her life.

Zhang Xiuyun thought a lot in her mind, but she was discouraged. She said nothing and lay quietly on the bed, waiting for dawn.

When it was daybreak, as soon as she heard the noise outside, she got up immediately, packed up the things in the room, and was about to go out to say goodbye, but she ran into a group of people staring at the door of the main hall. When they saw her coming out, they looked away in disappointment: "It's not Doctor Jiang, and I don't know when Doctor Jiang will get up?"

"I told you guys you came too early. Doctor Jiang gets up at around seven o'clock every day." Someone whispered.

They had been warned by the Pei family not to speak loudly in the morning so as not to disturb Doctor Jiang.

Zhang Xiuyun looked at them, not knowing what to feel for a moment. She walked forward and couldn't help asking, "Are you all here to see a doctor?"

Why are there so many patients?

It even seemed that there were quite a few villagers from Jiangjia Village.

Wait, didn't she remember that these people were all fine? What illness did they come here for?

"Yes, otherwise why would we come here?" a villager answered. He came for a follow-up check-up. He had been feeling uncomfortable and painful in his chest before, and was diagnosed with gastritis. He took medicine for a few days and has not felt uncomfortable for several days now. But he came here because he remembered Jiang Xi's previous request for a follow-up check-up.

I had thought that the clinic would be officially open tomorrow and there would definitely be a lot of people tomorrow, so I came here today. I didn't expect there would be so many people today. Pei Mingchang thought that he should have come the day before yesterday, but unfortunately he forgot, so he could only queue up now.

Being bored, he saw Doctor Jiang's mother asking about these things, so he said frankly: "It's cheap to see a doctor anyway. People from our village can see a doctor for one work point."

"So cheap?" Zhang Xiuyun was shocked. It only costs one work point, which is equivalent to free if rounded up. Then what's the point of opening this clinic? Isn't it a waste of time?

Pei Mingchang added hurriedly, "Not really. If there really was any disease, my wife had a migraine before, so she asked Doctor Jiang to give her two injections. This cost three work points each time. If she had to pay for the medicine, she would have to pay extra. The doctor from other villages would have to pay, which is twice as much as ours, but it's also quite cheap. But Doctor Jiang is really amazing. After the injection, my wife didn't feel any pain at all. She also helped my wife regulate her body. You don't know, my wife's face was sallow before, but after taking the medicine she gave her, she looked much fairer. My gastritis was cured after taking the medicine for three days, and the medicines prescribed by Doctor Jiang are all cheap..."

He was truly grateful to Jiang Xi, so he praised her with extra sincerity.

Zhang Xiuyun's complexion improved. She silently glanced at the people waiting in the yard. There were already more than twenty people. Just looking at them would cost her twenty work points. If they were to see the patients, it would be even more. If they were to get medicine...

She widened her eyes and reacted.

Oh my God.

It looks cheap, but when there are a lot of people, it's really worth it!

I can earn a few cents a day, which is much better than farming in a year.

Since my eldest sister has this ability, it seems like she will be able to survive even if she is alone in the future?

At this moment, Zhang Xiuyun's mind also echoed the words her eldest daughter whispered in her ear last night: "I have hands and feet..."

No wonder the husband insisted that the eldest sister go to school, and no wonder the Pei family would rather spend money to support the eldest sister to finish high school before getting married. People who go to school are different. Their ability to make money is even better than that of their husbands!

Zhang Xiuyun left without having breakfast in the morning.

He was still in a daze when he left, and he no longer said those strange words to his two little daughters.

Pei's mother was worried that the person had fallen, so she wanted to keep her for breakfast before leaving, but she was rejected, so she had to let her go.

Jiang Xi didn't open her eyes until half past seven. The first thing she did when she woke up was to squinting her eyes and grope for Pei Hejun's hand.

I just groped for a long time but couldn't find it.

She opened her eyes in surprise. She remembered that when she got up in the middle of the night to turn Pei Hejun over, she let him lie flat with his hands on his sides. How come now... that hand had moved to his stomach without her knowing when?

Pei Hejun lost some weight due to insufficient nutrition intake. His once strong arms seemed to be just skin and bones. His fingers became thinner and his joints were more prominent. He had not seen the sun for a long time and his skin quickly "faded" and turned white.

The whole person has become much more handsome.

Just a pair of closed eyes and shallow breathing.

What a pity.

Jiang Xi held his hand and went to look at the task panel.

As soon as the hand touched it, the task panel opened, and then a densely packed task list appeared on it.

[Mission 1: Treat villagers' scalp ringworm, mission reward: 8 points]

[Mission 2: Treat the villagers' constipation, mission reward: 2 points]

【Mission 3: ……】

There are a total of twenty-five missions.

Then Jiang Xi looked at the content carefully again to see if there were any urgent tasks, so he did them first. However, after waiting for a while, the tasks were refreshed and there were 26 tasks.

Jiang Xi: “…”

Isn't this too much?

There are quite a lot of people coming to see the doctor.

But most of them are minor illnesses and pains, points are earned one or two at a time, and there are no emergencies.

Jiang Xi looked at the balance in the upper right corner. It was 18 points. Although it wasn’t much, if so many people came every day, she would be able to distribute it in less than a week.

Jiang Xi was full of confidence. He stretched, moved his arms, and then began to give Pei Hejun his daily massage, starting with his head. After a busy period, Jiang Xi felt that the man under his command was exuding a sense of pleasure from head to toe.

Is it comfortable?

Jiang Xi felt the same way, but unfortunately no one gave her a massage.

When everything was done, it was already past eight o'clock, so she went out to wash up.

The people in the village were already used to her routine and were not surprised. However, the people from other villages who came here after hearing the news were particularly surprised. Some were surprised that Dr. Jiang, who was quite famous in the area, was actually a young girl who looked no more than 20 years old. Some were surprised that this girl was so lazy that she got up only after the sun was already high in the sky.

Those who came to see the doctor were all from the surrounding villages. Even if they were not from the same brigade, they all knew each other. When they had doubts, they would ask the people in Peijia Village: "Can this girl really treat illnesses? How old does she look?"

Pei Mingchang said lazily, "Why are you here if you can't see a doctor?"

The person asking the question was embarrassed. Didn't he hear that she was amazing? He just couldn't help but wonder. He stopped talking. A woman next to him asked, "Why does she get up so late? Isn't she afraid of being scolded by her mother-in-law?"

The people of Peijia Village laughed: "Who would be willing to scold Doctor Jiang?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mother Pei brought a bowl of hot noodles from the kitchen and handed them to Jiang Xi, who had just finished washing up: "Eat quickly, and then see the doctor."

When Jiang Xi took it, she felt a lot of burning gazes looking at her. She hesitated for a moment, turned around and saw those unfamiliar villagers looking at this place in surprise, as if something big had happened here.

She shivered a bit and said, "Mom, I'll go inside to eat."

"Go ahead." Pei's mother nodded with a smile. She had been smiling for a while, and the wrinkles on her face increased a lot, but there was nothing she could do because she was in a good mood.

As soon as Pei's mother walked out, she heard someone say, "Sister-in-law, is this how you coax your daughter-in-law?"

Auntie Lanhua, who had come to see the excitement, heard this and glared at her: "Can you speak? What do you mean by coaxing?"

The man blushed and said, "You are wrong, you are wrong."

Mother Pei smiled helplessly: "There is no other way. My daughter-in-law is so busy every day. I can only help her worry about her food and drink. She can just focus on seeing the doctor."

"Yes, yes." Everyone agreed.

After a while, Jiang Xi also finished eating and handed the empty bowl to Jiang Mi to wash. She sat at the examination desk and called out, and people waiting to see the doctor quickly lined up.

The first one in line was Pei Mingchang, who came for a follow-up check-up.

Jiang Xi felt his pulse and asked about his health. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, she said, "It's fine. Just drink less alcohol."

Pei Mingchang's face flushed, he coughed lightly, and said honestly, "Okay, thank you, Doctor Jiang."

He walked away, and Jiang Xi said, "Next!"

"Doctor Jiang, I don't know where I feel uncomfortable. Can you take a look at me?" A villager came over with a smile and stretched out his hand to her. It was too cheap. There was no disease that needed to be treated, but he would feel embarrassed if he missed this, so he came to take a look.

Jiang Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but accepted it gladly.

The health center in Peijia Village is being opened in full swing.

The health center at the entrance of Zhoujia Village is much colder than before.

In the first few days, dozens of people came for treatment every day. Nearly half of the 500 people in a brigade came, as well as villagers from surrounding brigades.

But ever since the incident with Xishengniang, no one trusted Li Quan anymore, and no one was willing to come over unless they couldn't stand it any more.

But even so, there will be about ten a day.

Only now, there are only two or three.

Li Quan was so idle that he fell asleep the whole day, until a villager in his forties came over and pushed him, his face pale and said, "Doctor Li, look at my stomach, I still can't defecate."

Li Quan was hit in the blink of an eye. He frowned in disgust. The opponent seemed to smell like a toilet. He raised his head to avoid it and said unhappily: "Stay away from me!"

Zhou Baoquan's face turned dark and he felt a little embarrassed, but thinking that he needed his help from him, he gritted his teeth and endured it, taking two steps back.

Seeing that his complexion had improved, Zhou Baoquan quickly said, "Doctor, please help me find out what's going on. I took the medicine you prescribed and it worked for two days, but now I can't defecate again. Didn't you say that it would work as soon as I took it? Are you lying to me?"

Li Quan thought for a few seconds before he remembered who this person was. On his first day as a team doctor, Zhou Baoquan came to see him. He said that he had been constipated for many years and had to stay in the toilet until he was almost suffocated before he could defecate.

He had gone to the town to get some medicine, which worked in the short term, but after a long time his condition returned to its original state. The medicine in the town was expensive, and he couldn't bear to spend it, so he came to see him.

Li Quan prescribed him a laxative in a small amount. He should be able to recover after taking it for two days.

I didn't expect that it would happen again after such a short period of time.

Zhou Baoquan looked at Li Quan suspiciously, wondering if he had been cheated.

The family is poor and his son is going to get married soon. If it weren't for the fact that going to the toilet is really uncomfortable, he would be reluctant to spend money. But now, doesn't he want to make every penny count?

If he was cheated, he would definitely make a scene, and it would be even better if he could lose some money.

Li Quan noticed his look and asked in a deep voice, "Did you eat chili peppers again?"

Zhou Baoquan said loudly: "Of course not. You said I can't eat it. Now I only eat potatoes, corn and the like every day. I don't eat much sweet potatoes." Old times are organized. Welcome to join us. Tens of thousands of historical novels are free to read.

Li Quan: “?”

He confirmed again and again and found that this person might not have eaten the wrong things, but he was still constipated. He couldn't help but feel a little irritated. He was not a real doctor, he just followed the barefoot doctor for three months.

He had encountered a problem that he was sure he couldn't solve now, so he said vaguely, "I guess the medicine isn't effective enough. I'll prescribe some more medicine for you. You take it first."

"Doctor, is it really possible this time?" Zhou Baoquan was a little skeptical and stared at him intently: "I wasted a lot of money in the town before. You said you could cure me and not let me spend more money!"

Li Quan glared at him: "Just listen to me!"

Zhou Baoquan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll trust you again. Give me the medicine. If it doesn't work again, I'll smash your stall!"

Li Quan, with a stern face, handed him the medicine and urged him to pay and leave quickly.

The villagers were just searching for one or two dollars. After a lot of trouble, he threw the money into the drawer in disgust and was about to lie down and continue sleeping.

Li Quan looked up and saw his cousin Lin Tao and deputy captain Zhou Xin looking at him on the roadside not far from the door. He was suddenly startled.

He knew that he was able to become the team doctor because of the strong recommendations of Zhou Xin and his cousin. He could not offend these two people, so he quickly called out respectfully: "Captain Zhou! Cousin."

Zhou Xing nodded, his expression remaining unchanged.

Lin Tao glared at him, walked up to him and took a look at his medical records. After finding that there were only two people on it, he said in a deep voice: "What's going on? Did you come here just to sleep? You don't even want to see any patients?!"

Li Quan said aggrievedly: "No, I wanted to see it, but no one came."

Lin Tao said with a dark face: "If it weren't for what you did last time, how could it have turned out like this? How about you visit their homes one by one from now on to see what's wrong with them?"

Li Quan thought to himself that this was not good, and hurriedly said, "Cousin, it's really not my fault. It's because there's a doctor in Peijia Village next door. She treats patients cheaply, and the captain personally promotes her. Everyone believes her, so they went there."

This is what he heard from the villagers passing by, and because it was related to Peijia Village, he wrote it down.

Lin Tao frowned. They hadn't been to Pei Village in the past two days, so they hadn't heard about this. So he asked, "When was it?"

"It started yesterday, right? I heard that the team leader asked her to be the village doctor, the doctor in Peijia Village. It only costs one work point to see a patient. Everyone is willing to go there. It's very cheap." Li Quan said angrily.

Zhou Xin had no intention of coming over, and he wanted Lin Tao to handle the matter. Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, he strode over, slapped the table, and said in a cold voice: "Tell me about the matter."

Li Quan smiled apologetically: "Well, actually I just heard about it this morning. They had already started working yesterday, and they were moving very quickly..."

He told them everything he knew and exaggerated it a lot, saying that the captain personally persuaded them to come over to see a doctor, which resulted in no one coming here except people from Zhoujia Village.

Zhou Xin's face became increasingly gloomy.

He still realized that Pei Sheng would not be so shameless as to promote it himself, but just setting up a village doctor would be a slap in his face!

We already have a team doctor, so why do we need a village doctor?

Isn't it just that you are not satisfied with the people he arranged?

Zhou Xin looked at Li Quan with disdain. He was actually not satisfied either. It was just that doctors were scarce and he couldn't find a better one for the time being. He also didn't want to let Pei Shengcai get what he wanted, so he gave him a bargain. He didn't expect that he would be so useless.

Li Quan's eyelids twitched at this glance.

The vice-captain looked very annoyed with him.

You're not going to fire him, are you?

At that time, the captain and deputy captain were basically local tyrants in the brigade. It was difficult for the factory to fire employees, but for the village to fire a team doctor like him, it was just a matter of a word.

You can't do this!

Li Quan wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking desperately about how to satisfy the deputy captain. He was not happy that the Pei family next door had stolen the limelight from this place, but if he had to compete with them in medical skills, he was really unsure, and that would only make the other party retreat.

So Li Quan was really lucky. When he was having trouble with work, his cousin sent him to be a team doctor. Now he was thinking about tormenting the other party. He immediately thought of a trick: "Captain Zhou, don't worry. There is a woman next door. How powerful can she be? She will definitely not be able to do it for a while."

Zhou Xin squinted at him, somewhat doubtful: "Can you do it?"

Li Quan puffed out his chest and said, "Of course, just wait and see."

Lin Tao's eyes sparkled. They were not good people. He naturally knew that Li Quan wanted to do something with what he said casually. As his cousin, he also patted his chest and guaranteed: "Brother Zhou, I still believe my cousin on this point, otherwise he would not be able to learn medicine from that barefoot doctor."

Zhou Xin reluctantly said, "Okay, then hurry up."

Lest the impact become greater and greater.

"Of course, of course."
