That's the truth. Gu Beiyi found her a group of female or young female doctors, saying they would arrive in two or three days. She would then teach them medical skills so they could quickly get started. So, in addition to treating patients, she would also have to take time out every day to teach them.
It's already difficult enough to take good care of the patients at Huimin Medical Clinic, let alone treat them.
Some illnesses cannot be ignored; the longer you delay, the more serious they become!
Upon hearing this, Madam Xu agreed, saying, "Alright, I'll discuss it with your mother and father later."
Rong Sheng took Xu Shi's arm: "If Mother really has nothing to do, then make a few pairs of warm shoes for Sheng Bao? The weather is getting colder and I stand there treating patients every day, and my feet get very cold! So please, Mother, take the time to make a few more pairs of cotton shoes for Sheng Bao, the warmer the better! Of course, Mother, don't be biased, make some for your four brothers, your father, and yourself too! Otherwise, Sheng Bao will be unhappy."
Ms. Xu slapped her forehead in frustration. How could she have forgotten such an important thing?
She said apologetically, "Shengbao, look how confused I am! I completely forgot about this. I'll go out and buy cloth and cotton right away to make shoes and cotton clothes for you! We'll make enough for the whole family!"
"Thank you, Mother!"
Xu was in a great hurry; she said she was going to buy cloth and cotton, and she went right away.
Rong Sheng couldn't help but chuckle. Actually, when treating patients in a hospital, cotton shoes are not necessary because they are not worn in sterile operating rooms.
However, it was necessary to wear them outside. The shoes bought outside were no worse than the ones made by herself. But Rong Sheng saw Xu Shi all alone and felt very lonely. So he found her some work to do, which made him feel a little better and helped pass the time.
Soon it was noon, and Rong Dong'an looked at Gu Beiyi: "It's almost lunchtime, go cook! Make something lavish!"
Gu Beiyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle, you've worked hard. I'll go cook right away. I'll make sure you have a good meal and eat your fill."
"You're not allowed to cook in my house!" Rong Dong'an said.
He didn't want Madam Xu to be angry when she saw Rong Dong'an, nor did he want Gu Beiyi to take this opportunity to curry favor with Madam Xu and get her to give in first.
How could Gu Beiyi not see through Rong Dong'an's little scheme? He just didn't bother to point it out!
He didn't want to cook at their house either, because there wasn't enough time. But if he went back to his own house to cook, he could do it quickly. His subordinates would definitely prepare all the ingredients, so he could just stir-fry vegetables and make soup, saving a lot of time.
Seeing how obedient Gu Beiyi was, Rong Dong'an felt a little heartbroken. If Gu Beiyi had gone against him, he could have easily sent him as far away as possible. But since Gu Beiyi was so obedient, he couldn't find a suitable reason to do so.
But it's okay, there's still plenty of time, we'll see!
Gu Beiyi prepared six dishes, two soups, and a cold dish—a very lavish meal. For an ordinary family, the cost of this meal would probably be half a year's worth of food. So, when Rong Dong'an and Madam Xu saw how generous Gu Beiyi was, the slight dissatisfaction in their hearts dissipated a little.
But they said one thing and meant another: "The food was just average, the taste was okay! But it's nowhere near as good as Sheng Bao Niang's!"
Despite their words, they ate everything on the table, leaving nothing to waste. They reasoned that it was better to finish than to waste food.
As a result, they ate so much that they could barely walk. Rong Sheng shook his head helplessly, took out a box of digestive tablets, and gave Rong Dong'an and Xu Shi two tablets each.
Time flies, and two days have passed.
These past two days, Rong Sheng and the others have been busy treating patients and saving lives, Xu Shi has been busy making cotton shoes and cotton clothes, Rong Dong'an has been busy fighting wits and courage with Gu Beiyi while treating his own illness, and Rong Mu has been working from dawn till dusk every day, learning how to do business while working.
That morning, as Rong Sheng and the others entered Huimin Medical Clinic, they saw Rong Hua carrying a girl and rushing into the clinic: "Sheng Bao, Sheng Bao, come quickly and let her take a look!"
Upon hearing the sound, Rong Sheng rushed over, "Big brother, what happened to you..." However, the next moment, Rong Sheng stopped asking, because she saw a thin, bony girl in Rong Hua's arms covered in blood, her sallow face deathly pale, without a trace of color.
Following Ronghua was a little boy, who looked to be only seven or eight years old. He was dressed in tattered clothes and was also very thin and looked pitiful.
"Quickly take her to the ward! I'll see her right away!" Rong Sheng led Rong Hua to take the little girl in her arms to the ward in the backyard. Then she sent Rong Hua and the others out and immediately began to treat the girl.
System: "Master, this woman is your elder brother's future wife, your sister-in-law!"
"What? Future sister-in-law?" Rong Sheng was startled. "What happened? System, tell me quickly what's going on?"
System: "Don't worry, host. She hasn't done anything with your older brother yet. This is their first meeting! Ask your older brother for details later! He'll explain everything to you!"
Rong Sheng didn't speak, but focused on treating her future sister-in-law's wounds, stitching them up and applying medicine. Because she was a woman, Rong Sheng was particularly meticulous, and she didn't want her future sister-in-law to have any scars.
Although she could exchange her medical ethics points for scar removal cream, she wanted to do even better, so that at least when her sister-in-law woke up in the future and saw the wounds on her body, she wouldn't be too sad.
Outside the ward.
Rong Dong'an and Madam Xu stared intently at Rong Hua: "Eldest brother, what's going on? Why are you carrying a girl to the county town so early?"
Ronghua said, "Father, Mother, please don't misunderstand. I didn't do anything to that girl. I came to the county town to find Shengbao today because my fourth brother's medicine is gone. Last night, when I was washing my fourth brother's clothes, I accidentally soaked the medicine that Shengbao left for him in the water, and it got ruined. So I came to find Shengbao early this morning to get the medicine for my fourth brother!"
On the way here, I saw someone chasing and beating this girl and this little brat! Seeing how pitiful they were, I rescued them and brought them to the clinic so Sheng Bao could treat them! As for who they are, I haven't asked yet!
"You soaked your fourth brother's medicine in water? Eldest brother!" Rong Dong'an was furious when he heard the news. How could he be so careless? That was a priceless medicine, and it was ruined by soaking!
"Dad, don't be angry, I didn't mean to!" Rong Hua felt wronged but didn't argue, because it was the truth. But it was his fourth brother's fault for putting the medicine in his clothes, and when he gave the clothes to him to wash, he didn't take the medicine out of the pocket. If he had taken it out, it wouldn't have spoiled.
"You're really something else! I haven't been keeping an eye on you for just a few days, and you've done this! Luckily, Shengbao had some medicine. If she hadn't, what would have happened to your fourth brother?"
