Chapter 1080 Poaching People from the Brothel
"What a joke! This old man has been a doctor his whole life, and I've never heard of him being good at gynecology. Is he examining Hua Niang?"
Madam Xin was furious. To come up with such an awkward excuse for seeking pleasure was even more shameless.
Hua Niang also needs to make a living, and Madam Xin has a clear target; she wants to bring Xin Youde home now.
There's no need to make up any excuses. Her servants saw people come to the brothel with their own eyes. Seeing is believing. Don't think she's a fool. You can't fool her!
If she wasn't confident, she wouldn't have come to the brothel to cause trouble.
“Oh dear, Madam Xin, even if you don’t trust us, you should trust Doctor Xin’s character.”
The madam looked troubled and stammered, "You and Doctor Xin have been married for so many years, you should know his character well, he puts his wife first in everything."
"No cat is immune to temptation. What does his coming to a brothel to seek pleasure have to do with my priority?"
Madam Xin waved her hand impatiently. "At this point, there's no need to hide anything. Just hand over the person."
"Doctor Xin came to the brothel to see a doctor, because..."
The madam sighed; there was more to the story.
In the brothel, there was a popular girl who contracted venereal disease.
That girl was the brothel's cash cow; after contracting the disease, she could no longer take customers.
Even if we can't make money anymore, we can't let people live with this disease forever. It's contagious and bad for the brothel.
The madam had been trying her best to keep it a secret; if her clients found out, who would dare to come seeking pleasure?
In desperation, the madam sought help from all sorts of people. When the doctors in the city heard that she was going to treat the prostitute, they exclaimed that she was unclean. The madam was willing to pay more money, but no one responded.
The sick girl was suffering terribly and was on the verge of death.
Upon hearing that there was a highly skilled and ethical physician named Xin in Yingcheng, the madam hurriedly sent someone to invite him.
The madam thought she was going to be turned away again, but to her surprise, after considering it, Doctor Xin readily agreed.
When he came to the brothel for a consultation, Doctor Xin had only one request: to keep it discreet so that his wife wouldn't find out and cause trouble.
"As Dr. Xin said, in the eyes of a doctor, human life is not divided into noble and lowly."
This matter was supposed to be kept secret, as it would affect the brothel's business if it got out. However, the madam didn't want Doctor Xin to be misunderstood, so she had no choice but to reveal the truth to Madam Xin.
Lin Yuesha, who was listening nearby, became somewhat interested in this henpecked doctor.
According to the madam, Xin Lang was a highly skilled and ethical doctor.
Yingcheng is about to launch universal healthcare, and it needs doctors like these to join the cause.
Madam Xin was half-believing and half-doubting, but in the end she didn't make a fuss about continuing to look for the person. However, she sat at the door and didn't leave.
After waiting for about half an hour, Doctor Xin finally came out shakily carrying his medicine box. He was terrified when he learned that the lady had found a brothel.
He was a skilled doctor who specialized in treating external injuries. Hua Niang's illness was located in a very hidden place, so he didn't have a good solution. He could only prescribe a medicine, burn off the growths, and apply a medicated ointment to promote tissue regeneration, treating both the internal and external symptoms.
No woman is born willing to be a prostitute; there are always various reasons why.
As medical professionals, we should treat patients with an equal mindset, rather than feeling ashamed of them from the bottom of our hearts.
However, Xin Youde trembled when facing his wife.
Oh no, oh no! The madam has always looked down on courtesans. Now that she's come to make a scene, he'll be kneeling on a washboard for at least half a month.
"Alright, hurry up and come home with me. Once we get home, take a bath with mugwort first."
Madam Xin stood up without uttering any words of reproach.
Although she always looked down on courtesans, her husband was, after all, a doctor, so what was there to be picky about when it came to treating patients?
Just as the couple was about to leave, Lin Yuesha hurriedly said, "Doctor Xin, please wait."
Because Lin Yuesha had spoken up for Madam Xin, Madam Xin had a very good impression of Lin Yuesha.
The beautiful young woman before her was the same; she had come with her to catch the adulterer in the act, and Madam Xin believed that she and Lin Yuesha were in cahoots.
"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"
Doctor Xin was uneasy, unable to believe that the matter had passed so quickly; he felt it was the calm before the storm.
"Well, I've heard that you're skilled in surgery, and I'd like to ask you a few questions."
When Lin Yuesha mentioned the questions Yan Yan had once had, Dr. Xin offered some insightful observations.
Xin Langzhong opened a clinic in Yingcheng, but because he often gave people credit, he had to pay out of his own pocket to keep the clinic afloat.
It wasn't a charity after all; losing a large sum of money every month was something even Madam Xin couldn't tolerate.
However, Xin Lang was soft-hearted and couldn't help but empathize with the poor people he saw. He would waive their medical fees and even pay for their medicine out of his own pocket.
"I would like to invite you to work as a physician at our clinic. The pay is excellent, and you will be ranked, starting from the ninth rank. I wonder if Physician Xin would be interested in giving it a try?"
Finding a doctor in a brothel left Doctor Xin dumbfounded, the madam stunned, and even Lin Yuesha somewhat incredulous.
Things happen by chance, it's all fate. If Madam Xin hadn't come to cause trouble, Lin Yuesha wouldn't have known that there was a doctor willing to treat courtesans in brothels.
Doctors have the hearts of parents, and Dr. Xin's medical ethics are noble.
Such a doctor is much better than a selfish and snobbish one, so Lin Yuesha took the initiative to extend an olive branch.
"Nine... Ninth rank?"
Madam Xin thought she had misheard. Even a ninth-rank official was not something an ordinary person could do; one had to be at least a successful candidate in the imperial examinations.
Scholars are highly valued, even more so than doctors.
The beautiful young woman in front of me spoke with the rank of ninth grader, which suggests that she could rise even higher in the future.
None of the Xin family ancestors for eighteen generations have ever held an official position, not even a ninth-rank official, which would have been enough to make their ancestral graves emitting auspicious smoke.
"That's right, the ninth rank is just a threshold."
Lin Yuesha was quite certain that large hospitals needed doctors to specialize in different areas, such as surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, and gynecology. In particular, surgical doctors could be further subdivided into trauma specialists, orthopedic specialists, and so on.
Those who come to the Great Medical Hall to treat the sick and save lives, and to provide medical care for the people, not only receive generous rewards, but also receive a rank.
If you do well in the future, there will be other benefits.
In the initial stage of universal healthcare, Yingcheng is a pilot city, and more cities will be added gradually in the future.
"This is my young mistress, Mrs. Qi."
Fearing that Doctor Xin might not believe her, Qingxing specially introduced Lin Yuesha's identity.
"this……"
Madam Xin's focus had completely shifted away from rank and universal healthcare, and instead drifted off to ask, "So, General Qi has also come to the brothel?"
She immediately regretted what she had said, as if she had stumbled upon a secret.
Lin Yuesha: ...Is that the point?
Explain why she should explain to unrelated people; if she doesn't explain, it will damage Qi Heng's reputation.
No, he's not here.
Lin Yuesha denied it decisively, and then lied earnestly, saying, "I heard that a girl in the brothel was sick and that Doctor Xin was willing to treat her, so I came here specifically."
She came not to capture Qi Heng, but to find Doctor Xin.
Dr. Xin was extremely excited. He never expected that the young mistress would value him so much. He was determined to join in and make a difference!
