After washing up, Lihua got into bed and fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.
Xia Daohua pretended to be asleep because she was planning to go on a night tour of the main house to find out about Xia Youcai's family.
Jinhua, however, was troubled and could not sleep. She tossed and turned over and over again, more diligently than turning over a pancake.
Xia Daohua couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
She closed her eyes and waited for Jinhua to fall asleep. The waiting time seemed incredibly long, and she had to listen to Jinhua sighing while trying hard to suppress her own sleepiness...
This is really challenging, okay?!
Jinhua tossed and turned for a long time. Perhaps she thought Lihua and Xia Daohua were asleep, so she couldn't help but mutter:
"This damned guy, is he really holding a grudge? Otherwise, why hasn't he come to pick me up yet?"
In fact, Dai Sanlang, whom Jinhua was thinking about all the time, was still recovering from his injuries.
Dai Sanlang's face, covered in bloody wounds from Jinhua's scratches, had been examined by a doctor from Pujitang, who prescribed external ointment and internal medicine. The total cost was over forty taels of silver, and Dai Sanlang's mother was so enraged that she lay on the kang, clutching her chest, for the entire day.
The Dai family's luck is average.
When the entire Dai family escorted Dai Sanlang to Pujitang for treatment, they neither happened to catch the day when Doctor Wang was seeing patients nor did they encounter the time when Doctor Wang was inspecting the shop on a whim.
It just so happened that several of the best doctors stationed at Pujitang were also invited by people in the town to see patients.
The person in charge of Puji Hall is a disciple of Doctor Wang, who has just been on the apprenticeship for a few days.
This guy is very bold and has a very aggressive style of using medicine. He especially likes expensive and good medicine.
When this prescription was prescribed, Pujitang was happy, and the patients from wealthy families were also happy.
Although the poor are not happy, generally speaking, when they get sick, they can get through it. How many truly poor people would be willing to go to Pujitang?
Dai Sanlang's family was making a lot of noise, and their words and actions showed off their wealth without any scruples, and they also made a fuss to show how much they valued and cared about Dai Sanlang.
The doctor in charge naturally used his familiar routine with confidence and boldly prescribed medicine:
A bottle of plaster costs three taels of silver, and two bottles are needed for consecutive use.
The decoction costs one liang and eight qian of silver per set, three sets a day, and needs to be taken for seven consecutive days.
Not counting the medical fees, the total cost was more than 40 taels of silver, and including the medical fees, it cost a total of 48 taels of silver.
This made Dai Sanlang's parents very angry!
Dai's mother rolled her eyes and fainted.
The doctor in charge smiled brightly and said succinctly:
"Hurry up and carry the old lady to the back hall for emergency treatment! First, give her a dose of Snow Lotus Heart-Nourishing Soup. Waiter, go and boil the medicine!"
Dai's father hurriedly stopped him: "Oh, oh, I dare not drink such expensive medicine."
The doctor laughed heartily and said:
"Old man, don't be so naive as to sacrifice your life for your wealth! Your original wife is still the best!
Although this Snow Lotus Heart-Nourishing Soup uses precious snow lotus and ginseng, the total price is not expensive.
Eleven kinds of medicine only cost a total of two taels and three qian of silver.
And this medicine doesn't need to be taken continuously; just one dose will wake the patient up."
Dai's father quickly declined: "We are peasants. We are worthless. How can we afford such expensive medicine? Oh, I dare not, I dare not. Please, please, give me a different prescription!"
The doctor in charge frowned:
"Old man, this is where you're wrong!
Why didn’t you say it earlier?
The medicine has already been boiled, and you tell me you don’t dare to use it?
This medicine is targeted at the condition. It is prescribed according to your wife's condition and has been decocted. Now you just throw it away as soon as your upper lip touches your lower lip. Who should I sell it to?
Besides, the most important thing is money. If you act so casually, aren't you wasting money? "
The Dai family made a commotion in Puji Hall, attracting a lot of onlookers.
The Dai family thought that Pujitang would be scared now!
He immediately cursed Pujitang for being heartless and for forcing people to buy and sell things.
The doctor in charge was not afraid at all and spoke clearly, explaining the whole process. Everyone had heard that the Snow Lotus Heart-Nourishing Decoction was a life-saving medicine. Although they knew it was indeed expensive, they also felt that between the doctor and Dai's father, the latter was more annoying.
Especially among the onlookers, there were many old ladies, aunties, young wives, and young ladies...
When they saw that Dai's father was a stingy man who was willing to spend more than 40 taels of silver to treat his son's face but was reluctant to spend more than 2 taels of silver to save his wife's life, they felt angry and helped Pujitang to scold Dai's father.
The Dai family was so angry that they started fighting with the doctor in charge, but were stopped by the guards of Pujitang.
Dai Sanlang, the first to attack, was easily caught by the tall and strong security guard of Pujitang, who easily lifted him above his head and was about to throw him to the ground.
Dai's father and Dai Sanlang's two sisters hurriedly tried to stop them, begging, crying, apologizing and kneeling down, which made everyone laugh at them.
In the end, Dai's mother was also woken up by the family's noise, and the Dai family obediently paid for the Snow Lotus Heart-Nourishing Soup that caused the farce, although Dai's mother actually didn't drink a sip.
The idle people in the town watched the fresh and exciting show, and Pujitang received fifty taels and three cents of silver. Only the Dai family returned to the village in shame, staying at home for several days, not daring to go out and see anyone.
Fortunately, although the doctor in charge of Pujitang likes to use expensive and good medicines, the effect of this medicine is quite good.
After applying the medicine for a few days, Dai Sanlang's facial wound not only healed well, but even the scar was so faint that it was barely noticeable. At this rate, if he finished using these two bottles of medicine, there would most likely be no scar left.
Whether a man has scars or not actually doesn’t matter at all.
But Dai Sanlang has always thought that he has outstanding appearance, so how could he bear to have an imperfect face with scars?
These days, Dai's mother dared not speak loudly and walked very carefully.
Because she fainted, not only did the Dai family lose two taels and three qian of silver, but they also lost their precious face in front of so many idle people in the town and offended Pujitang. She had been scolded by her mother-in-law several times.
In fact, she was already very cautious.
But no matter how cautious you are, how can you escape if you meet someone who is deliberately finding fault with you?
Dai's mother had had enough of this kind of life, so she began to urge Dai Sanlang to bring his wife Jinhua back home.
It’s nothing, I just want to find someone to share the firepower with me.
Jinhua had just had a fight with Dai Sanlang, making the neighbors laugh at her. The reason they went to Pujitang was because Jinhua had scratched Dai Sanlang's face...
With this instigator around, no one will keep an eye on me, right?
Even if they continue to stare at me, at least they won't just stare at me.
