Chapter 229: Pride

"If I say I have no ulterior motive, I'm afraid you won't believe me. So I'll tell you the truth. I'm going to open a clinic on Yongning Street to treat women. If you think these two doctors are good today, consider opening our clinic in the future. Of course, if you are all healthy, that would be even better. I'd be happy even if my clinic closes. But who can say they haven't had a headache or a fever in their lifetime? Tell me if this is true."

Shen Yuan is very pretty, with swirls around her lips when she smiles. This appearance makes people feel approachable, so when she speaks, people are willing to listen.

"That's right. Everyone has a headache or fever."

Someone else asked: "Why does this clinic specialize in treating women? Is there any reason for this?"

"Look at me and the girl next to me, and then look at these two doctors. We are all women, and we know the difficulties women face best. The doctors outside are all men. They can treat common ailments, but there are some things that are really embarrassing for men to see. Don't you think so?"

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately resonated with the onlookers. In fact, at such a large fair, most of the visitors were women.

"That's right. The doctors in the clinics are all men. They can just take the pulse, but there are some things that are really embarrassing for men to see."

At this time, the usually careless person couldn't help but say to the auntie who had just spoken: "The little girl is afraid to see it. If you are like this, she won't want to see the doctor even if you send her to her. What's there to be embarrassed about?"

When he said this, many men in the crowd immediately burst into laughter.

At this moment, a stone suddenly flew from the sky and hit the man who was speaking on the forehead.

"Who?! Who hit me?"

The aunt who just spoke was not someone to be trifled with. She stepped forward and grabbed the man's ear, "How dare you, you little idiot, tease me!"

All of a sudden, the object of the crowd's laughter immediately became this man.

While they were talking, Qiaoqin had already finished massaging the old lady and was about to apply a plaster on her. Qiaoqin had been serving Mrs. He before, and her massage skills were very good. She didn't need to look at other prescriptions or plasters. With just this massage, the old lady felt much better! She pulled Qiaoqin to ask when their clinic would open, and she would definitely go to see it when the time came.

The old lady’s family is not well-off, but fortunately her sons and daughters-in-law are filial. If they knew that her leg could be cured and she would no longer feel pain in the future, they would definitely be willing to pay for it.

After the plaster was applied, the old lady stood up immediately and said to the people around her: "This plaster is really good! It feels warm as soon as it is applied. Whether you believe it or not, I believe it."

This time, there were several more people who wanted to come forward to have their pulse checked by Fuling and Qiaoqin. Baizhi led them to line up and let them come one by one in order.

The first few were all minor ailments, but they were afraid to spend money and did not dare to go to the clinic. Fuling and Qiaoqin explained their ailments very clearly, and they were immediately convinced. What's more, they wrote prescriptions without asking for money or requiring them to go to any particular clinic to get the medicine. They only said that if the medicine worked, they could come back to them later.

If that's the case, he's definitely not a scammer. Slowly, more and more people lined up. Baizhi helped maintain order, and Qingdai helped the two people grind ink and pass things around.

Shen Yuan also joined them. When Qiaoqin was making plasters, she helped read the prescriptions, or she was busy telling the patients where their clinic was and what days it would open. Some people were worried that their clinic would charge a lot of money, and Shen Yuan patiently explained everything to them one by one.

There were also women who came to see the doctor, but they were too embarrassed to speak. At this time, Shen Yuan came out and asked those who were queuing and those who were watching to move away so that they could talk quietly without being heard.

At this time, a young woman was sitting in front of Qiaoqin. She lowered her voice and said softly, "Doctor, I have been married for two years, but I still haven't gotten pregnant. My mother-in-law asked me to try many folk remedies, but none of them worked. I said I wanted to go to the clinic, but my in-laws wouldn't allow me to go, saying they didn't have the money. Can you help me take a look?"

The woman had only been married for two years and was certainly not very old, but her complexion looked sallow, she was very thin, and her face was full of worry. She was even more distressed when she talked about her inability to conceive.

Qiaoqin comforted her, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll show you."

She took her pulse carefully, asked about her menstrual cycle, and then said to her, "From my pulse, there is nothing wrong with your body. You just have some deficiency of Qi and blood, but it is not a serious problem. Just eat some good food to replenish your body. It will not affect your pregnancy."

The woman couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. When she went back to her parents' home, they secretly found a doctor to see her. The doctor said the same thing, but she just couldn't get pregnant.

Qiaoqin looked at her expression and said tactfully, "It's not enough for a woman to get pregnant by just one person. If the man has something, the woman can't get pregnant."

"Really?"

The woman had been beaten and scolded by her mother-in-law and husband, who called her a hen that didn't lay eggs and said they would divorce her and marry someone else. But how could a woman who was divorced for not being able to give birth to a child have an easy life? She had always thought that it was her own problem, and she had almost taken medicine as her meals, but it was of no use.

"Of course it's true. Otherwise, why do men and women have to get married to have children? If it's none of men's business, then we women can just have children on our own."

Qiaoqin was just about to tell her to persuade her husband to go back to the clinic, but she stood up and walked away in a daze. Qiaoqin wanted to say something else, but another person sat down and waited for her to take her pulse, so she had to sit down too.

Shen Yuan also heard the conversation between the two. When the woman was about to leave, Shen Yuan followed her and said to her, "Our clinic is at the east end of Yongning Street, opposite the Jixiang Rice Shop. It opens on the 26th. The doctor Qiaoqin will be there."

The woman turned around to look at Shen Yuan, bowed and said thank you.

There was a horse-drawn carriage parked outside the market. Two people got off the carriage and kept their eyes on the free clinic stall.

Stone and Wood noticed the carriage as it approached, but when they saw the shape of the carriage and the people getting off it, they looked away.

He is their girl’s father, and also Lord Xie.

After watching for a while, Xie Hui was moved and said, "Uncle, Manman is really good."

Shen Yun glanced back at Xie and snorted, "I am her father."

The implication is that you don't need to tell me this.

The two came here together from the Dali Temple after getting off duty. They both knew that Shen Yuan would bring people here to provide free medical treatment today. They had originally planned to come and see Shen Yun when they got off duty. After learning that Shen Yun was also coming, they felt at ease to ride on the carriage of their future father-in-law.

Shen Yuan didn't know that someone was watching her outside. Some of the patients who came to see the doctor had illnesses that couldn't be treated outside. Shen Yuan was thinking about this situation and what to do.
