Chapter 408: Chaos
Old Mrs. Chen knew that the old man in front of her was in cahoots with Su Xiuer and the others.
But the other party was indeed a doctor, and his medical skills were excellent.
No matter how cautious one is, he was still tempted by what he said.
"Are you really here to treat my son's injuries? Are you really that kind?"
The old man smiled broadly, his patience surprisingly good. "How can you be a doctor if you don't have a healthy heart? Otherwise, why would an old man come all this way for nothing? It's so cold, wouldn't it be comfortable to stay at home and warm yourself by the fire? Will you treat me? If not, I'm leaving now. Oh, I'm freezing!"
Seeing the old man really trying to leave, the old woman who had been standing inside guarding the door became anxious and hurriedly opened the door. "Treat him! Treat him! But we have a deal, my family can't afford a penny. You just said you would treat me for free, you can't go back on your word and ask me for money! Every household around here is listening, they can all testify for me!"
That day, Su Xiu'er's bitch lover stepped on her son's leg and broke it. After he came back, he kept lying in bed crying. Old Mrs. Chen was naturally heartbroken.
But my family just suffered a disaster, and I have no money to see a doctor. Now someone comes to my door to help with the treatment. It’s such a great deal, I must take advantage of it!
Du Buqin turned his head and looked around, then smiled even more kindly.
The surrounding courtyards were filled with people who came to watch the fun, including women, old women, men and children.
There are a lot of idle people during the winter, and the old man is very satisfied.
"Tsk, you're judging others by your own standards! Okay, everyone, be my witnesses! After the consultation, I'll leave. Let's see if I take a single penny from the Chen family!"
His bold words hit the mark just right for the old woman of the Chen family. She shamelessly invited the neighbors into the yard. With everyone witnessing it, she didn't believe that the old man would dare to extort money from her!
The people of Chenjia Village looked down on Old Lady Chen's behavior and didn't want to have anything to do with her, but they supported Doctor Du.
The villagers benefited greatly from the old doctor, and those who contracted epidemic diseases were all cured by him.
"Doctor Du, just keep treating her. We'll be watching from the sidelines for you. If anyone dares to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail you, we'll tear her apart for you!"
"Doctor Du, a doctor is like a parent, but some people are born shameless. Humph! Don't worry, we are here, and no one will bully you!"
"Ada, go home and bring a cup of hot water to the poison doctor. Don't be like that person. The doctor came to your house with good intentions, but he didn't even give you a cup of hot water!"
"Oh, now that you mention it, it's just past noon. Doctor Du must have walked quite a while to get here from another village, right? Have you eaten yet? I have some sweet potatoes simmering in the stove. I'll go get you two!"
The villagers kept arguing with each other, and even then, Old Lady Chen's face turned red and white, but even then, she refused to give him any food.
Although the government allocated relief grain, the food was distributed per person, and people had to tighten their belts and eat frugally to survive until the next spring. How could such precious things be given away just by talking?
She kept a gloomy face and pretended not to hear what was said.
Du Buqin had already walked into the bedroom where the screams were coming from. The room was dimly lit and a thin man was lying there with his face and lips blue and in great pain.
Chen De had heard the commotion outside early in the morning. When he saw the old man come in, he squeezed out a voice with trembling lips, "Thank you, Doctor Du, thank you for your trouble."
Du Buqin didn't want to talk to him at all. He walked to the bed in 28 steps, first looked at his legs, then put his hand on his pulse, without looking at him the whole time.
After a moment, the old man withdrew his hand. "You haven't seen a doctor since you were injured. You're just lying there like this? The broken bone hasn't been straightened, and the fracture has already healed. If you don't want to be a cripple, you have to break the bone and straighten it."
The noise outside the room quieted down.
Old Lady Chen tiptoed in, crying and cursing at the top of her lungs, "You want to break the bones again?! How painful it must be! Oh my God, I'm going to die! That bitch Su Xiu'er is such a jinx! She's ruined my A-De!!"
Chen De's face turned pale and he looked a little dazed, as if he had not come to his senses yet. However, the thin and dense blood on his forehead began to seep out again.
"Hmph!" A murderous gleam flashed across the poison-proof triangular eyes.
At this time, Mrs. Chen didn't care about anything else. She grabbed the old man's arm and said repeatedly, "Doctor Du, your medical skills are superb. People outside call you a miracle doctor! You must cure my Ah De. He can't become a cripple!"
Du Buqin quickly shook the man off and quickly brushed off the invisible dust on his sleeves, as if he was covered in something dirty. He was so angry that he could hardly contain himself. "You should have seen a doctor immediately after your leg injury. Why did you have to suffer like this? What are you howling for! Make a decision now whether to hit your leg or not, and don't touch me. Men and women should not be intimate! I was superfluous! You old hag is so shameless. No wonder your good son is born infertile. You've ruined all the good karma in our family!"
The room was silent again.
Old Lady Chen opened her eyes wide and opened and closed her mouth, but no sound came out.
Chen De's face turned pale and he was full of disbelief.
The rest of the villagers who were lucky enough to hear it firsthand, “???!!”
"Doctor Du... What does congenital infertility mean?" Old Mrs. Chen was unable to utter a word in her shrill voice, so a kind-hearted villager asked for her.
Du Buqu's triangular eyes slanted, "What else could it mean? He can't have children. No matter how many wives he marries, he can't leave an heir. His wives can't get pregnant at all!"
A moment later, the room exploded with a loud bang.
The idle people in Chenjia Village were extremely excited.
"So that's how it is! No wonder Chen De married two wives in succession, but neither of them got pregnant!"
"For years, his mother has been scolding her daughter-in-law as a hen that doesn't lay eggs. It turns out that the one who can't lay eggs is her Chen De! The old cow can't hoe the field, but it blames the field for being bad. Ugh!"
"Oh my god, oh my god, Xiu'er was scolded for more than a whole year after she got married two years ago. She suffered all this in vain!"
"Thank goodness Xiu'er left early, preferring to go into exile with her family rather than stay in the Chen family. That's why she's in such a good situation now. Otherwise, she would have been held back by the Chen family for her entire life!"
Amidst the clamor, a woman in her thirties rushed in from outside, threw herself on the bed with a howl, and started to fight and scratch the man lying on the bed. Her voice was shrill, "Well, Chen De! So it's you who can't have children, and you made me take the blame for you for more than ten years, and your mother threw basins of dirty water on me! You can't even lift your head in public! You useless loser! I can't figure it out. I can't stay in this family for a day. Let's get a divorce! From now on, you take the sunny road and I'll take mine! The old one is wicked and the young one is incompetent. You and your mother will spend the rest of your life together!"
Old Mrs. Chen had been a tyrant all her life and would never tolerate anyone taking advantage of her. She rushed over and started wrestling with the woman, "You're such a traitor! Marry into our Chen family, and you'll be our Chen family ghost even after you die! You want a divorce? Dream on! You have to stay in the Chen family and serve us for the rest of our lives!"
The Chen family was in chaos.
And we can predict that there will be chaos every day in the future.
"Hehehe!" The old man slipped away.
Oh my, the situation is in chaos. The old man can't calm down and can't heal anyone.
Do you really think the old man is here to do charity?
snort!
