Chapter 22 My Promise



"I have money, so what?"

When Hu Gui found out the news, Master Yan also knew about it.

After all, Miss Bijun's actions caused quite a stir in Runan, and with the appearance of people from Deshengchang, who helped her purchase some medicinal materials, it didn't matter whether ordinary people knew about it or not, but people like Master Yan knew about it.

At the same time, people of all sizes in Runan City also took it seriously.

"Does money mean you can do anything?" Old Master Yan sneered, "Even if you have money, you can't bully others. I have the title deed, and she won't care about me no matter where I go."

"But sir, there's something about that house." A follower reminded cautiously.

"What happened to the house?" Old Master Yan interrupted him. "Who can prove that I did it? Where are the witnesses and evidence? Go and sue me. Let's see if the government will accept it."

The followers responded repeatedly but dared not speak any more.

"Isn't it just doing some good deeds with money? Like giving porridge to disaster victims and refugees?" said Mr. Yan, patting his fat belly. "You have money and you provide free medical treatment and medicine. People love and appreciate you, so what? You do good deeds and this is your reputation. What does it have to do with others? In this world, people don't care about things that don't concern them. Who cares about other people's business?"

The follower nodded.

"Yes, that's right. These people just want to take free medicine." He said with a flat mouth, "They are all poor ghosts with no money. Rich people don't care about her medicine. She is not a famous doctor. Who would go to her and who would know who she is?"

Master Yan smiled and nodded to his followers.

"This young man is teachable," he said, patting his belly as he walked to the corridor and teased the thrush in the cage. "Fame is a good thing, but fame also depends on whether it is useful or not. It depends on whether it is useful to useful people. Otherwise, it is just an empty name, with no other use except for being pretty."

Sure enough, after a few days, the number of people coming to the straw hut for medical treatment decreased significantly.

After all, poor people cannot get sick every day and take medicine as meals.

The poor people from far away had not arrived yet, and the first round of medicines for those nearby had not been finished. So most of them came purely for the free medicines.

Because of impure thoughts, conflicts also begin to emerge.

"Why don't you let me take these medicines? They are written on the prescription."

A sharp sound came from the straw hut, and a skinny woman stood up, slapping the table.

Hu Gui, who was watching from a distance as usual, also walked over a few steps.

"Uncle, this person was not sent by Master Yan, right?" the nephew asked in a low voice.

Hu Gui shook his head.

"That's not true," he said. "It would have happened sooner or later. There's no need for Master Yan to do anything."

Young people are still too young and don’t know how evil people’s hearts are.

Hu Gui smacked his lips and sighed.

God will not give you justice just because you are kind.

The poor people who have nowhere to go have already tested Miss Jun's character. Her reputation for doing good has also risen, so some people can take advantage of the opportunity.

In the past few days, many people have come with prescriptions intending to get medicine for free.

These people are poor but not in trouble. They come to see a doctor not for survival, but to get more for a bargain.

Miss Jun looked at the woman in front of her, her expression still gentle.

"Ma'am, your condition is not suitable for these medicines. Of course I can't give them to you," she said.

The woman reached out and patted herself.

"Why not? This was personally examined by Doctor Zhou of Guizhitang." She said anxiously, "Do you know Doctor Zhou? He is the most famous doctor in Caizhou Prefecture."

Lei Zhonglian stared at the woman blankly.

Miss Jun had told him to be in charge of getting the medicine, so he was in charge of getting the medicine. He didn't care about anything else.

Fang Chengyu also looked at this with interest as usual.

I have read a lot of books and know that people are different. But it is still very interesting to see it in person.

The atmosphere among the three people in the straw hut was calm, and Hu Gui shook his head as he watched.

Of course, he no longer thinks that the one who is lame and the other one is stupid, but he thinks that children from rich families do not know the evil of human nature.

These people won't reason with you.

"I don't know." Miss Jun answered bluntly, "Whether he is famous or not, this prescription is not suitable for your condition."

"Do you know how to treat a disease?" the woman shouted. "You actually said that the medicine prescribed by Doctor Zhou is wrong."

The people standing behind the woman began to talk and point fingers in this direction.

Miss Jun didn't say anything and just smiled.

"My child, Doctor Zhou personally cured me of my illness. I took some medicine. The capital is too far away. Since you are here to see me, I will let you take a look at me to see if I am feeling better. Then I can continue to take the medicine." The woman continued, looking helpless, and said to the crowd, "Why do you say that my medicine is wrong and won't give it to me? If you don't want to give me a free consultation and medicine, just say so directly. Why are you pretending to be a good person?"

This statement caused the people behind to nod in agreement.

"Yeah, if you don't want to give us the medicine for free, just say so."

"I knew it was just an act."

"You still say other doctors are not good enough. You are just a young person boasting."

There was a lot of discussion, full of questions and dissatisfaction.

"That's how she is. She smells good from far away, but smells bad when she's around." Hu Gui sighed to his nephew, "Look, when she just came back, everyone was happy to like her, but that was because there was no conflict of interest. Now, she has to make such a fuss. Now, even if she has a lot of money, she can't give me medicine for the rest of my life. She's always fighting for favors and revenge for others. In less than a month, she won't be able to stay in Runan City anymore."

The nephew nodded, put his hands in his pockets and looked over here with a bit of envy.

Miss Jun remained calm and watched the discussions and listened to the questions.

"Well, let's do this," she said. "Get a dose of medicine according to this prescription, and then get a dose of medicine according to my prescription. If that one doesn't work for you, try mine. Auntie, do you think this will work?"

The woman was stunned, and the people who were talking behind her were also stunned.

How is this possible?

"You mean, you gave me the medicine according to Doctor Zhou's prescription?" the woman asked in disbelief, "and gave me an extra dose of your medicine?"

Miss Jun nodded with a smile, picked up a pen and wrote down a prescription, and handed the woman's prescription to Lei Zhonglian.

"Get the medicine," she said.

Lei Zhonglian responded without asking any more questions and walked towards the medicine cabinet.

The woman was still a little dazed. She had so many tricks up her sleeve but before she could use them, it was over. She was a little at a loss.

The others behind were also stunned.

"Then can we get medicine with other people's prescriptions?" everyone asked at once.

"If someone else's prescription is suitable for your condition, of course I will prescribe the medicine. If I think it is not suitable, I will prescribe two prescriptions for you." Miss Jun said.

The people present looked stunned.

"Why?" someone asked, "Why would you do this?"

Miss Jun looked at him with a somewhat surprised expression, as if what he asked was strange.

"Because I've said it before, my Jiulingtang can cure any disease and bring people back to health. If you fail to do so, you will be discredited." She said, "Since you are seeing me, I can guarantee that you will get better."

Yes, there is this promise, but everyone has forgotten it and only remembers the free medical consultation and medicine.

However, this promise is not just a casual remark like wishing someone good fortune during the Chinese New Year. Can just saying wishing someone good fortune really make you rich?
