"Dr. Zhou, how is my son? Could you prescribe some medicine to relieve his pain?" Meng Yongfu looked at Meng Fu, who was tossing and turning on the bed, his old face even blacker than the charcoal that hadn't burned out in the stove.
What kind of mess has the Meng family made?!
Not only was his wife sent to jail, but he also got a dressing-down from the county magistrate.
Now, her only son has become such a freakish, insane creature.
As soon as the man finished speaking, Meng Fu on the bed sat up with a somersault.
"Aaaaah!! A ghost! Get away from me, get away now! Don't look for me, it wasn't a false oath I made, it was my dad's! If you want to find someone, go find him and burn his name! Go away, get out of here!!!"
"Waaaaah! It hurts so much, my lower body hurts so much! My whole body hurts, and my wrist, my wrist feels like it's about to break..."
Meng Yongfu's face turned completely black in an instant.
Is this the grown son he raised?
If I had known, I would have preferred to give birth to a piece of char siu!
Dr. Zhou coughed lightly, stroking his goatee with a calm expression. "Your son's condition is caused by excessive fright. I will prescribe a medicine for him, one dose per day, to be decocted and taken twice a day, morning and evening. As for your son's burns, our pharmacy has a special burn ointment. Apply a thick layer to the burn every morning and evening, and it will heal within a month."
After saying that, he opened the small medicine box he carried with him.
He took out a box of ointment, along with paper and pen, and quickly wrote out a prescription.
"Yes, thank you very much, Doctor Zhou." Meng Yongfu took the prescription and ointment, feeling a weight lift from his shoulders. "May I ask, Doctor, how are my son's injuries on his groin and wrist? How long will it take to heal?"
Dr. Zhou paused in stroking his beard. "Well..."
The sound suddenly stopped.
But this made Meng Yongfu, who had just relaxed, feel his breath catch in his throat again.
Then, Dr. Zhou opened one eyelid and glanced at Meng Fu's crotch. "There are medicines that can treat injuries in such special areas, as long as your son can bear the pain when applying them."
"I can bear it, I can bear it. Please, Dr. Zhou, prescribe medicine for my son as soon as possible." Upon hearing this, Meng Yongfu finally felt relieved.
His head was already covered in cold sweat.
Over the years, he and Meng Chengshi have only had this one son.
If Meng Fu is ruined, won't his huge family business really have no successor?
"Here, quickly apply it to your son!" Doctor Zhou smiled and took out a round bamboo box from the back of his medicine chest, handing it to Meng Yongfu. "It's made entirely of the finest medicinal herbs, and the effect is quite good."
The man paused in his outstretched hand, then asked uncertainly, "How much is this medicine?"
Dr. Zhou looked harmless and held up five fingers.
"What?! Fifty taels?!" Meng Yongfu stumbled, and for some reason, he couldn't help but think of how Su Hua had swindled him out of twenty taels of silver last night, and the old man's smile at this moment was exactly the same.
He really is the most unscrupulous doctor in Cangwu Town.
He wouldn't take a penny from the poor, but he would rip off those with wealth to the bone.
He asked for fifty taels right off the bat. How many bowls of noodles would he have to sell to earn that back?
If the second-best doctor in Cangwu Town hadn't been unable to cure his son Fu'er yesterday, he wouldn't have invited this heartless old man!
“Master Meng is reluctant? Then forget it!” Doctor Zhou flicked his sleeves, took out a small medicine box from the side, and was about to put away the medicine box.
"No, I want it! I want it!" Meng Yongfu chuckled and hurriedly snatched the medicine.
Immediately, she yanked off Meng Fu's blanket and ripped off his clothes...
He had to use it on his son while people were around, otherwise, if it didn't work after they left, who would he turn to?
Meng Yongfu had just applied the ointment to Meng Fu.
"ah!!!!!!"
A scream that shook heaven and earth, and made ghosts weep, erupted from under the covers.
They rushed straight out of the courtyard wall of the large blue brick house.
It startled a whole row of people and birds nearby, making them jump up in surprise.
Everyone stared in horror toward the Meng family mansion, as if they were about to grab a handful of melon seeds and start cracking them open.
Inside the large brick courtyard, Doctor Zhou and his apprentice had already covered their ears and hid by the door.
Meng Yongfu was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
As for Meng Fu on the bed, after a series of pig-like screams, he became unusually quiet.
"How is it? My wound medicine works quite well, doesn't it!" Doctor Zhou walked back from the door with a sly smile as soon as the voice fell, rubbing his index finger and thumb together. "Fifty taels for wound medicine, twenty taels for burn ointment, and the calming medicine is extra."
Seeing this identical finger-rubbing motion almost made Meng Yongfu's heart skip a beat.
That's enough.
Fu'er offended a doctor yesterday.
He couldn't afford to offend this old man again today, otherwise, his Meng family would have to run to Qingyuan County to see a doctor for any minor ailment.
The man struggled to his feet, and with a pained expression, he pulled out a fifty-tael silver note and two large silver ingots from his waist.
Only after handing it over did I realize something was wrong.
"Dr. Zhou, what about my son's wrist? How should it be treated?"
