Chapter 2958 My Pot
Because Zhou Man said that medicine for lower-income households was free, and medical treatment for middle-income households was free, many people from the same village made appointments to come and see the doctor.
They even put on their worst clothes just to make themselves look particularly poor.
Zhou Man didn't mind. As long as they were happy, it was fine. Anyway, her status as a lower-class household was determined by the county government, and the standards were based on that.
"Those arriving now are from several nearby villages. They set out yesterday, walked all day, and stayed outside the city for one night before arriving this morning."
Zhou Man was very moved and happy, "Finally, someone is willing to come to the hospital for treatment."
Bai Shan glanced outside and smiled, "There are quite a few women too."
Wen Tiandong also looked up and explained, "They came here to accompany the elderly and children at home. They didn't watch it themselves."
"But I want to see them," Zhou Man turned to Wen Tiandong and said, "You are not comfortable talking to that woman. Ask her to come to me later. Anyway, there are only these patients today. I'll feel the pulse of everyone who comes and gain experience. If they are sick, they can see a doctor. If they are healthy, they can rest assured."
Wen Tiandong: "...as long as you are happy."
No one else would take a pulse like this without missing a single opportunity.
Bai Shan said nothing. He poured her a bowl of sour plum soup and asked, "I see it's very hot. Sister He at home made a lot of sour plum soup. I asked her to add some water and send it to them to cool them down."
Zhou Man agreed immediately: "Okay."
She felt that Bai Shandu personally brought her lunch and cared about her so much, so she asked him with concern, "Is your case over?"
Bai Shan nodded: "The trial is over, the verdict has been made. It's a minor case, so there's no need to submit it to the governor's office. The verdict can be taken directly."
Then Bai Shan was slapped in the face. The next day, he sent Zhu Qi and others out of the city to serve. Although County Magistrate Dong and the yamen runners did not understand why he came to see off a group of serving prisoners, they also stood aside and waited honestly.
Bai Shan handed a piece of paper to Zhu Qi and said, "You can read, and it was you who led these people to do this evil thing, so you will still be the leader during the service."
Bai Shan said, "Once you're there, you'll be under the care of Qi Lizheng. This list includes the hours you'll be working each day, the cost of each person's three meals a day, and the basic menu."
He said, "This money is paid to you by the county government, and it also comes from the taxes of the people. You serve in the army to atone for your sins, but the people will not fleece you. I hope that you will reflect on your mistakes during your service, and behave yourself after returning from your service and not commit crimes again."
Zhu Qi and others had complicated feelings, and many people were moved and quickly agreed.
Seeing Bai Shan's gentleness, one person couldn't help but ask, "Sir, how is our third brother? The one who fell off the cliff."
Bai Shan sighed.
When everyone heard his sigh, their eyes turned red and two younger ones even burst into tears.
"He was incredibly lucky. He got stuck in the tree right after he fell, and couldn't get down or up. Inspector Luo spent a long time trying to get him up. He didn't have any serious problems, just went hungry for three days."
Everyone: ...
The two crying boys got so excited that their noses started to spurt. Bai Shan turned his head away and didn't look. The two boys wiped their noses without paying any attention and asked quickly, "What about the mynah bird?"
"He," Bai Shan said, "is in a pretty bad situation. He woke up once, and the rest of his life is just a matter of taking good care of himself. I don't know if he'll become stupid. His family has taken him home to recuperate. Oh, and if he doesn't serve, he has to pay a fine. Do you want to help his family after you get out?"
Everyone: ...
Zhu Qi quickly said, "Sir, I will pay his fine."
Bai Shan nodded. "Very good. You can go serve first. The one who fell off the cliff tomorrow will be with you. Work hard and try to repair the road to Xiaoliu Village."
Everyone was a little overwhelmed by his encouragement, but it actually gave them some ambition and they didn't even think being punished to serve was such a painful thing.
Bai Shan then turned around and instructed the yamen runners, "Remember what I said. When you have free time, teach them the laws. Serving is hard work, so don't let them suffer when it comes to food. I've spent nearly ten years researching this menu, so just follow it."
Yamen runners: ...
They agreed, but didn't know what expression to make.
After they had gone far away, County Magistrate Dong couldn't help but ask, "Sir, why did you spend nearly ten years researching that menu?"
He'd seen it before. Breakfast consisted of two steamed buns, an egg, and a plate of pickled vegetables. For lunch, he'd eat three large steamed buns and two hot dishes, one of which had to have two pieces of meat...
Not to mention the prisoners serving in the army, even the conscripts serving in the army every year were given generous rewards.
Bai Shan looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back and said, "I shortened the time because I was afraid of scaring them. In fact, I have been studying this for more than ten years. An adult male serving in the military must eat at least this much every day to withstand such a heavy workload..."
County Magistrate Dong looked at Bai Shan's age and couldn't help but ask, "Sir...why would you study this?"
Bai Shan glanced at him and said, "Isn't this normal? Every year, people from the village go to serve. If they are interested, they will watch and study it naturally."
He returned to the county office, but before he even entered, County Magistrate Fang came out anxiously and whispered in Bai Shan's ear, "Someone's coming from the Governor's Mansion."
Bai Shan raised his eyebrows, thinking that the prince was about to arrive, so he happily stepped inside. County Magistrate Fang followed behind him and said anxiously, "He's here for Song Min's case..."
Bai Shan's smiling face suddenly collapsed.
When County Magistrate Fang and County Commandant Dong saw this change of expression, they couldn't help but admire it in their hearts, but they still had to get down to business.
County Magistrate Fang lowered his voice and said, "The Governor's Office means that Zhu Qi and others are causing trouble to the village and are stubborn and hard to change. They should just be sentenced. Song Min is already the manager of the salt field and he won't go to the new salt field for such a trivial matter, so..."
Bai Shan pursed his lips and did not go directly to the lobby. Instead, he turned and went to the office, successfully avoiding the people from the governor's mansion.
He asked, "Did the Song family use the connections of Governor Guo?"
"That's right," County Magistrate Fang sighed, "otherwise Governor Guo wouldn't have sent someone to speak for the people of Song."
Bai Shan was very suspicious. "Could it be that the little devil is difficult to deal with, and it's not actually Governor Guo's intention?"
County Magistrate Fang was silent for a moment before saying, "But the ones who came were the staff of Governor Guo."
Bai Shan: ...
He rubbed his forehead with his hand, thought for a moment, and then said, "Just say I'm away in the countryside. I'm the judge of this case, and you can't make the final decision. But you can agree to it first and tell me when I come back. Just give me a hint. Given my relationship with Governor Guo, I won't refuse."
County Magistrate Fang: "...then will you agree?"
Bai Shan: "No! You have to fool the person away first."
County Magistrate Fang: ...It's a good idea, but in the end he was made the villain.
Bai Shan comforted him, "Don't worry, the blame won't fall on your head. What belongs to me will still be mine."
Ahhh, I finally managed to update two chapters before 12 o'clock. It was a few seconds late. I wonder if it counts towards my monthly ticket.
It’s the last day, please vote for me. See you at 7pm for the next chapter.
