Chapter 6 Matchmaking



Song Yiren glanced at Su Jinyue's room, hesitated for a moment, and then walked over. She still wanted to know what Jinyue would say.

"Doctor Song, please give me some cold medicine. I've been sneezing a lot today and it makes me feel so uncomfortable." A middle-aged man walked into the clinic and shouted to Song Yiren.

"Oh!" Song Yiren responded helplessly and walked up to the middle-aged man. "Uncle Wu, do you have any other symptoms besides sneezing? Does your throat hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, it's just that my nose is itchy and I keep wanting to sneeze...A-choo!" As he said that, Uncle Wu sneezed.

Song Yiren quickly dodged to avoid being sprayed by the other party's saliva, "Then I'll prescribe some isatis root and anti-inflammatory medicine for you."

"Okay!" Uncle Wu nodded in agreement.

Song Yiren walked to the medicine cabinet, opened it, and took out a box of isatis root and anti-inflammatory medicine and handed it to Uncle Wu. "It's five dollars and two cents in total. Take it three times a day after meals."

"It's so expensive! How about I just take the Isatis root?" Uncle Wu frowned as he looked at the medicine in Song Yiren's hand. He could only earn a dozen yuan a month at most, and it was hard for him to spend so much on a prescription.

"Colds are caused by viruses, and only anti-inflammatory drugs can cure them quickly." Song Yiren advised.

Uncle Wu thought for a while and said, "Then I'll take a box of anti-inflammatory medicine, but not the isatis root." There are several mouths to feed at home, so he can save a little money.

"Okay, the anti-inflammatory medicine is three dollars and a half." Song Yiren handed the anti-inflammatory medicine to Uncle Wu. The people in Shangxin Village were all farmers, and they didn't make much money in a year. She could understand why they were reluctant to spend money.

Uncle Wu took the anti-inflammatory medicine and fished out a square vest bag from his pocket. He opened it layer by layer and reluctantly took out three one-yuan bills and a fifty-cent bill and handed them to Song Yiren. If the sneeze hadn't affected his work, he wouldn't have come to get the medicine and wasted money.

Song Yiren took the money and put it in the drawer. She glanced at Uncle Wu as he left, shook her head and sighed, then walked over to the medicine cabinet and put the isatis root back in. She was determined to find a job in the city next year. She didn't want to live like this, having to split every penny to make it count.

There were footsteps behind her. Song Yiren knew that it was Xu Tiansheng who came out. She turned around and looked at him. Seeing that his face was not very good, she bit her lip and said, "Master, I didn't mean it. I have already apologized to Jin Yue." Jin Yue must have told the master what happened. She should be honest and admit her mistake.

"What's going on?" Xu Tiansheng asked in surprise.

"Didn't Jin Yue tell you?" Song Yiren felt a little regretful. She was just confessing herself.

"Go ahead!" Xu Tiansheng sat down on the chair, waiting for Song Yiren to tell what happened.

Song Yiren pursed her lips and slowly recounted what had happened, "Master, I really have apologized. I didn't expect Jin Yue to fall."

Xu Tiansheng's face darkened, and he scolded, "Has all these years of Master's teaching you been in vain? You're so bold to inject penicillin into someone without even doing a skin test. If something goes wrong, can you bear the responsibility?"

"I was wrong! I won't do it again." Song Yiren lowered her head and apologized sincerely. However, she felt a little dissatisfied in her heart. This was not the first time she had injected penicillin into someone, and nothing had ever happened.

"Go and copy the Compendium of Materia Medica ten times and give it to me in three days." He had raised both Yiren and Jinyue, and he knew their personalities best. Relatively speaking, he trusted Jinyue more.

"Yes!" Song Yiren replied with a bitter face. She knew her master's temper well. If she dared to bargain, he would definitely make her copy more than ten times.

Mrs. Liu came in carrying a basket. Seeing Xu Tiansheng, she smiled and walked forward, handing him the basket. "Doctor Xu, take these eggs. If it weren't for Doctor Su today, I don't know when my second child would be able to recover."

"Mrs. Liu, you don't have to be so polite. It is our duty as doctors to cure diseases and save lives. You'd better take the eggs back." Xu Tiansheng waved his hand.

"That won't do. I'm giving these eggs to Doctor Su to nourish his body. Doctor Su is injured and eating more eggs will help him recover faster." Seeing that Xu Tiansheng was still trying to refuse, Mrs. Liu simply put the basket on the table.

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Xu Tiansheng could only accept it, "Then I will thank Mrs. Liu on behalf of Jinyue."

"What are you thanking me for? Oh, Dr. Su and Dr. Song are almost 20, right? They're still single, right? I happen to have a cousin who's a nice guy, lives in the city, and works for a state-owned enterprise. He earns over 50 yuan a month, and the factory even provides him with staff housing. If you're interested, we could meet," Mrs. Liu said with a smile. This was the real purpose of her trip.

"That's up to them, I can't make the decision," Xu Tiansheng said with a smile. Someone in the village had suggested a marriage for Jin Yue and Yi Ren before, but neither of them agreed.

Mrs. Liu looked at Song Yiren beside her and said with a smile, "Doctor Song, my cousin is really good. Why don't you meet him?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Mrs. Liu. I'm not interested in that right now," Song Yiren refused. She only had Zhan Yihan in her heart, and no other man was in her eyes.

"Then I'll go ask Doctor Su." Mrs. Liu refused to give up. In fact, she liked Doctor Su more. It would be great if Doctor Su could become her cousin's wife.

Su Jinyue put down the book in her hand when she saw Mrs. Liu come in. Mrs. Liu had just spoken so loudly, so of course she heard everything.

"Doctor Su, I'm here to act as a matchmaker for you. I have a cousin who is very handsome and lives in the city. He works in a state-owned enterprise. If you are interested, I will ask him to come and meet you. The young man is a really nice person." Mrs. Liu said with a smile.

"I appreciate Mrs. Liu's kindness, but I'm not interested in dating right now," Su Jinyue said. Not to mention that she already had Zhan Yihan in her heart, even if Zhan Yihan wasn't there, she wouldn't go on a blind date.

"Doctor Su, you should meet her and see for yourself. You might even fall in love with her. My cousin is a really nice guy, and many girls at the factory like him," Mrs. Liu insisted. Doctor Su was so beautiful and a great doctor, so being her cousin's wife was perfect.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mrs. Liu. I don't want to have a boyfriend so early." Su Jinyue picked up the book and continued reading.

Mrs. Liu looked at Su Jinyue for a long time, shook her head, and walked out. Doctor Su disagreed, and she had no choice.

Su Jinyue closed the book in her hand and turned to look out the window. Thinking of the scenes of her past life with Zhan Yihan, a bright smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Yihan, what are you doing now?
