Chapter 216 Wasteful, Too Wasteful



"I am not feeling well and cannot go out for the time being. If you are in a hurry, I can send my young apprentice to take a look."

As she spoke, she pointed to the side, where Han Luoyu sat quietly like a well-behaved child.

Han Luoyu was suddenly called out, and in shock, she pointed to her own nose: "Master, I..."

When did she ever treat such a severe injury? She's capable of treating minor injuries like headaches and fevers, but a broken leg…

"Your master believes in you, but you need to put your medical skills into practice before you can advance."

Han Luoyu's eyes lit up. Was her master asking her to test the techniques on those three people?

Han Luoyu, an ordinary villager, naturally couldn't bear to do it, but those three reckless thugs made Han Luoyu feel no guilt at all when they started fighting.

However, she still turned to look at her sister, wanting to hear her sister's opinion.

"If you want to try it, just go and take a look. I'll go with you."

She couldn't go alone; she needed Han Yuchen to come along. Although they were there for a medical appointment, Han Luoxue didn't trust the Li family's character.

"Dr. Xu, my son is really sick, and I still want to ask you for help..."

The old woman from the Li family looked at the excessively young Han Luoyu. She knew this girl; she had heard that she had been following the Divine Doctor Xu for less than a year. What could she possibly learn in a year?

He's probably a mediocre doctor, not even as good as the village doctor.

"I won't go. My little apprentice is fine with me."

"However, I must remind you that my youngest apprentice is exceptionally talented, and he is even more skilled than I am in treating certain external injuries."

Although he's been doing this for forty or fifty years, he's getting old, and his eyesight and hands aren't as sharp as his young apprentice's. This isn't just flattery towards Han Luoyu.

Han Luoyu drank a lot of spiritual spring water, which improved her body in every way. Later, she also took a body-strengthening pill. Now, Han Luoyu has sharp eyes, amazing strength, and is very decisive in her actions.

In addition, she has treated many patients in the past six months and has gained experience.

"this……"

While the old woman from the Li family was still hesitating, Han Luoyu said impatiently, "I'm not going either."

Old Mrs. Li: I chose you, not you choosing me!

Han Luoxue smiled and said, "Yu'er, please feel free to do as you please!"

"That's right, my Yu'er can go if she wants to, and no one can force her if she doesn't want to!"

"That's what Grandma Han said domineeringly."

The old lady of the Li family was anxious. Although she hesitated at first, she knew in her heart that if she couldn't find a doctor who could handle the situation, her son would be in trouble.

"I was wrong just now. Please, Miss Han, come and take a look at my son."

"I can look, but how much silver are you going to give me?"

Where does Old Lady Li have any money?

"I……"

"Oh dear, old woman Li, you wouldn't be trying to make my granddaughter work for free, would you?"

Grandma Han clicked her tongue and said, "Old Mrs. Li also cares about her reputation: How could I possibly let her work for nothing? I'll pay her a pound of corn!"

"Pfft, are you trying to fob me off like a beggar? You think a pound of corn is enough to get a doctor to come and treat your dying son?"

"That's right, how can you say one pound of corn? It's fifty pounds, I wouldn't come if it were even an ounce less."

When Old Lady Li heard about the fifty catties of grain, her vision blurred, and she wanted nothing more than to tear the little girl's mouth apart. But remembering that she still needed the girl's help, she held back her anger and took a deep breath: "If you can cure my three children, fifty catties of corn will do!"

You know, her family's money-losing son only got her ten pounds of sweet potatoes in exchange. This fifty pounds of corn is practically going to kill her.

"No!"

Han Luoxue suddenly shook her head, held up one finger, and said calmly, "Going there once costs fifty catties of corn. Take it or leave it."

That day, she did take a quick look at the three brothers' legs. Although she didn't examine them closely, their legs were completely broken. Medical technology wasn't advanced back then, and with the brothers also having fevers, it was questionable whether their legs would fully recover. They might even become lame.

Even if he doesn't become a cripple, he'll still feel the wound on cloudy or rainy days. After all, they hurt their dear father.

Han Luoxue felt quite pleased with the kick.

"You, Han Luoxue, don't push your luck!"

The old lady of the Li family never imagined that there could be such a hateful person in this world.

"How did my granddaughter bully you? Take it or leave it, Yu'er, maybe we shouldn't go for treatment."

"Okay, Grandma," Han Luoyu replied obediently, and the old lady Han beamed with joy.

"I agree!"

The old woman from the Li family practically uttered those three words through gritted teeth.

"I promise, please, you must save my three sons."

Old Mrs. Li started sobbing, looking utterly miserable.

Han Luoxue felt sorry for her, so she didn't press the matter further.

"Snow Girl, Rain Girl, eat before you go."

Yunniang came out of the kitchen; she had already prepared breakfast.

Han Luoyu is fine; missing a meal won't bother her. But Han Luoxue is different; she's pregnant and can't stand being hungry.

"Okay, where's Brother Chen?"

Soon, the whole family was seated at the dinner table. Grandma Han was overjoyed, as it was the first time she had eaten alone with Mingyuan's family.

Is this a meal? This means she and the third brother's family have taken another step forward. But the third brother's family's meals are really good.

Stir-fried cabbage with pork—it uses a lot of pork and oil, making it especially delicious.

There's another one, called spicy chicken nuggets, which is very spicy and goes well with rice.

The golden, thick millet porridge smelled delicious. Looking at its consistency, Old Lady Li just kept saying it was wasteful.

Besides these, there were also plump, white steamed buns. These were things that Old Mrs. Li would never dare to eat, even in her wildest dreams.

"What a waste of money, such a waste of money."

She had seen many people's breakfasts, but this was the first time she had ever seen someone eat like this.

However, when she saw the second plate that was served, Old Lady Li's eyes widened in surprise.

What is that? An egg, a bright yellow poached egg.

And it wasn't just one; there were actually seven or eight in total.

When the fried eggs arrived, Han Luoxue picked one up for Grandma Han first, making her smile from ear to ear; the wrinkles on her face could trap a mosquito.

Everyone else picked one up themselves, and the whole family enjoyed their meal.

Old Mrs. Li was drooling with envy, her stomach rumbling loudly, but unfortunately, everyone in the family was eating their own food and no one invited her to join them.

When they were almost finished eating, Han Luoxue told her parents that her second younger sister was going to see a doctor.

"It's just fifty jin of corn, what are you looking at!"

Han Mingyuan said with dissatisfaction.

“Yes, Xue’er, maybe we shouldn’t watch it.” Yunniang also disagreed.

"Father, Mother, I want to go and take a look."

This was a rare opportunity to practice, and Han Luoyu didn't want to miss it.

"Alright, I'll tell your Grandpa Han Qiang to bring a few more people with him later."

Old Mrs. Li: I really came here seeking medical treatment, is it really necessary to be so formal?

It was originally agreed that only three people would go, but in the end, more than a dozen people went, including Han Qiang.
