Chapter 218: Settlement of medical bills
...
Early in the morning.
Jiang Mianmian woke up.
After washing up, she jumped into her elder sister's room.
Her brother-in-law had already gone for morning exercises.
He was keeping fit with his brother and father.
Since his brother-in-law's sword was repeatedly knocked out of his hand, he changed to practicing with a knife.
He practiced with a knife with great vigor.
Jiang Feng still liked the sword, which was slender and feminine, and could kill people cleanly and neatly, unlike a knife, which cuts piece by piece, with blood and flesh splattered, and was not clean...
Jiang Mianmian strolled over early in the morning with a book.
Seeing that her elder sister had just gotten up and washed up,
she took the book and read aloud in her elder sister's room.
Make sure the baby in your sister's belly can hear it. Your aunt's comfortable future depends on you. If you learn from the womb, you will definitely be smarter in the future.
With such a task, she is more motivated to study.
Jiang Yu listened to the sound of reading, washed up, and her stomach felt pretty good. She didn't vomit much recently, and her appetite increased.
Although she is outspoken, people who are outspoken don't hide their love words.
She said to Brother Meng directly every day: "Husband, you are great, husband, I like you so much, husband, your cooking is so delicious, I ate an extra bowl today, husband, you are so good to me, husband, you are so knowledgeable, husband, you are so great..."
Jiang Mianmian was ashamed of this.
Her sister is really amazing.
Many people said: I am speaking directly, please bear with me, don't mind.
She only said things that were annoying.
But elder sister was different, she was straightforward, she could curse people directly, and she could also say sweet words directly.
Her words made her brother-in-law dizzy, and he has lived in his father-in-law's house for three years without getting angry, and he was happy every day.
Jiang Mianmian felt that elder sister's straightforwardness played a big role.
It is worth learning.
Being straightforward can point out shortcomings directly, or you can say I love you directly, you must be more straightforward.
Mianmian shook her head and finished prenatal education for her future nephews and nieces, and then went to have breakfast with elder sister.
After breakfast, Jiang Mianmian leisurely drank a cup of fermented black tea. She
took a stroll to change into a neat outfit for going out.
Recently, she likes white robes, tied with a belt, and has long hair tied in a ponytail, which looks very good.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Jiang Mianmian wanted to have a girl. Girls are so pretty, and they have been pretty since they were little.
She was pretty when she was seven or eight years old, between grown up and not grown up, with fluffy hair.
Her skin is very white, partly because she pays attention to physical sun protection, partly because of the spiritual spring, and partly because of genetics. Her father is very white, and he is also very white without sunscreen, and he doesn't get tanned by the sun.
Wearing small boots, she took Pang Ya out to distribute the medicinal porridge.
When she left the house, the tiles and collapsed beams outside were restored, and the stones on the roadside were leveled.
Originally, repairs like this were done first by the nobles.
Even if the houses of the poor people collapsed, they could only be done slowly.
After all, we can't let the boss see the sloppiness in front of us, which will make it seem that we are not doing our job well.
Fortunately, it is summer, so even if we have no house to live in, we won't freeze to death.
But it is bad in summer, because the bodies of patients gather together, which makes it easy for plague to occur.
When Mianmian brought Pang Ya to arrive, she saw Zhang Weibiao at a glance. He was very big and squatted in the corner like a tent.
Seeing them coming, Zhang Weibiao stood up and helped with the work without saying a word.
After finishing the work, he squatted aside again.
The medicinal porridge was cooked, and people in the square lined up spontaneously, and people from other places also came.
It gradually became a little hot, but fortunately, the queue was not too crowded.
As long as no one cut in line, even if the line was a little longer, everyone was willing, because it was fair, because hope was right in front of them, and they just had to wait for their turn.
But once someone cuts in line, the mentality of the people behind them will easily collapse, because it is unfair.
With Zhang Weibiao squatting there, there were basically no people cutting in line.
He helped maintain order, so there was no need to queue up repeatedly, and he would be given porridge as a working meal.
He squatted here every day honestly just for a mouthful of rice.
Jiang Mianmian came to question him.
"Why did they let you out?"
"That group of people happened to be the ones who went to the nearby village to steal and kill people a while ago. The adults said I was getting rid of harm for the people, so they let me go."
"You can kill 27 people in one night, you can make a living anywhere, why do you have to squat here?"
"I have never seen any powerful family really give rice and medicine to eat enough. If such a family is bullied by evil people, the world will be over, so I, Zhang Weibiao, have to guard here."
He looked like the biggest evil man on the scene, with a ferocious and evil look.
He had killed someone, his clothes were still stained with blood, and his face was full of murderous intent.
The people around him retreated, and some who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble also behaved themselves.
After he finished speaking, he squatted on the side of the team again, staring at everyone, like a vicious dog from hell.
While watching the porridge being distributed, Jiang Mianmian continued to put out the "Cure illnesses and save lives" sign.
Perhaps the yamen runner who treated the finger last time was too scary, so no patients have come to the door for so many days.
Jiang Mianmian could only wait helplessly. This kind of thing could not be asked by his father for help every day.
Fortunately, it was time for the yamen runner Lao Jiu to change the medicine today.
As the first and only patient, Lao Jiu did not need to queue up to register and sat directly in front of the eldest lady. She
stretched out her thickly wrapped finger.
He was actually very scared and did not dare to look or touch it, but he did not feel any pain.
Jiang Mianmian gently unwrapped the outer linen cloth. The cloth was made of linen, which was breathable and almost the same as gauze, but a little harder.
Lao Jiu closed his eyes and turned his head behind his shoulder, not daring to look.
In fact, it didn't hurt, but he was still nervous, and his arms were shaking.
Because it was just a dressing change, Mian Mian was not brought into the small room, but just outside.
Lao Jiu thought that if it didn't hurt that much, it should not be rotten. He didn't even have a fever when he went back, so it should be fine. It would be inconvenient after the finger was cut off, but at least he had connections in the government office, and he had discussed it with his wife, and they could do something else in the future.
Jingzhou has been very prosperous in recent years, and you can make a living by doing anything.
It is definitely more convenient to do it yourself than with people outside, at least with official connections, it is easier to get certificates and everything.
Lao Jiu prepared himself mentally, and then he still didn't dare to look when he removed the cloth outside his finger.
But he heard "Ah!~~" from the people around him
.
He was so scared that he trembled all over and couldn't help but look back.
However, he found that his fingers were intact, just a little rough and red, as if they were caught by the door, but they were intact on his hand.
The finger was actually bright red, the color of flesh, not black, and it was not damaged or festering. If it weren't for the thread on it, it would be impossible to tell that it had been broken.
The yamen runner Lao Jiu lowered his head in shock, just like looking at someone else's hand, it was incredible.
He subconsciously wanted to move, but was grabbed and couldn't move.
"I'll change the bandage for you and fix it. If you want your finger to recover to its previous state, it will take at least three months. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. During this time, you should do some light work and don't use force on this hand. Come back to me in ten days."
The yamen runner Lao Jiu was still a little dizzy and unbelievable after the bandage was changed and the finger was re-wrapped.
This finger is actually still there? And it's not just for decoration, it can still be used.
He has cried three times at home with his wife, children, and parents.
He was worried that he would be a useless person in the future.
But, but, his fingers were still there.
Lao Jiu burst into tears, knelt on the green bricks, and kowtowed three times.
"Miss, you are so kind, I will never forget you. I will do whatever you ask me to do."
Jiang Mianmian waved her hand and said, "You are paying me for curing my illness and saving my life. I didn't charge you last time, but I will charge you for changing the dressing this time. Your operation is a bit difficult, but it will cost a lot of money."
The yamen runner Lao Jiu smiled with tears in his eyes and said, "You should pay me, you should pay me."
Even if you have to go bankrupt, you should pay me. The family should have saved more than 100 taels of silver over the years. If it is not enough, I will go and get more. I will definitely pay you enough. He thought that even the gods could not save this finger, but he did not expect that Miss actually connected it for him and it looked like it could still be used.
Jiang Mianmian calculated his own consumption. In fact, the biggest spiritual spring is priceless.
But after gaining experience, he would not do that. He still followed the market price, including the consultation fee, surgery fee, and medication. He wrote down a long list and calculated it. It was a total of one tael and two taels of silver .
Jiang Mianmian handed the list to the other party.
The yamen runner Lao Jiu was ready to go bankrupt. Now he had even connected his fingers. The eldest lady said it was very expensive. The eldest lady's guest room cost one thousand taels a night, but he didn't expect it to cost only one tael and two taels of silver.
Lao Jiu cried and laughed.
Jiang Mianmian said, "Since you are my first patient and my father introduced you, I will give you a discount. You can pay one tael of silver. If you go any cheaper, it won't work. I really won't make any money. Those instruments and materials are very expensive."
Jiang Mianmian calculated the money very seriously.
Because seeing a doctor is life-saving money, you have to calculate it clearly.
Of course she couldn't do without money. Without money, she
would have no way to continue. If you want to do something for a long time, you must at least make a small profit to maintain your life and make a living. Only then can you continue to do it.
She calculated carefully and told the yamen runner Lao Jiu about it one by one.
The ugly and strong man Zhang Weibiao squatted on the side, nodding as he listened. The little girl in front of him suddenly became taller in his eyes.
Taller than the day when she stood there to distribute porridge.
Probably a little lower than the Lord of Justice.
Maybe the same height.
