Zhou Xiaoju didn't know what Jiang Nian was thinking, and couldn't help but defend her, "But your medical skills are obviously very good, and people around us all know it. Every time you treat an illness, the medicine works immediately. Besides, who would come to see a doctor and ask the doctor to guarantee that they won't get sick after taking the medicine? Isn't this just looking for trouble?"
Jiang Nian glanced over and she shut up in disappointment.
The eldest sister felt ashamed of what was said and walked away with a gloomy face.
The other two patients in the yard were a man and a woman, both middle-aged.
Jiang Nian asked them, "Are you still watching?"
"Look." The woman spoke first. Now that they were here, they couldn't just go back without taking a look, or go to town instead, right?
Just watch it first, if it’s good then watch it, if it’s not good then don’t watch it.
The woman was stung on the arm by a wasp. She had been stung before and nothing serious happened. But this time, after two or three days, her arm became swollen and the stung area began to rot. There was already a hole as big as half a fingernail.
Jiang Nian gave her medicine and charged her five cents, which she paid for with four eggs.
The woman didn't know whether this medicine could cure her, but it felt cool and refreshing when she applied it, and the burning sensation disappeared instantly, and it was quite comfortable.
The man's condition was more serious. A lump of flesh grew on his chin, and it kept growing bigger and bigger, until it was as big as half a finger. He also had one on his arm and one on his leg.
According to his description, the flesh lumps had lasted for more than a year, and he had undergone two operations at the city hospital. However, not long after they were removed, they appeared again in other parts of the body. In addition, his family was not well-off, so he just let them grow.
But because of this lump of flesh, he was often ridiculed, and some people with bad intentions said that he must have done something immoral, so he got this incurable disease.
He came all the way here this time because he heard from others that there was a female doctor with good medical skills in Zhoujia Village, and her fees were cheap, so he came here with the hope of giving it a try.
Jiang Nian prescribed him half a month's worth of medicine, told him to go home and take it, and told him to come back for a checkup after half a month.
After sending the person away, Zhou Xiaoju asked her, "I don't understand why you let that elder sister ruin your reputation. It's obvious that your medical skills are very good."
"Whether a doctor is good or not cannot be expressed with words, but must be proved with facts. And you have to understand that she is the one who needs to ask me for help because she is sick, not me who rushes to ask her for help. If she believes in me, I will see her. If she doesn't believe in me, I won't see her. It's not a big deal."
Zhou Xiaoju lowered her head.
Jiang Nian said again: "I answered your question, but I don't like others questioning my decision."
Zhou Xiaoju's heart trembled, "Sorry."
Because Jiang Nian was too kind to her, she had overstepped her boundaries, even though her intentions were good.
Jiang Nian asked her to stand against the wall for half an hour every morning, and also found a rope for her to jump 200 times every day.
Zhou Xiaoju initially thought this was a punishment for her, until a few days later when Li Rui came over and said casually, "Little girl, you should keep your back straight, so that you look energetic and much prettier than before."
Only then did she realize what was going on and she was secretly delighted.
It turned out that this was not a punishment for her, but was to enable her to stand up straight.
In the past, Zhou Xiaoju was a little hunchbacked. After all, she had been doing heavy work all year round at a young age, so it was normal for her back and waist to be a little stressed.
I just don't know what the purpose of skipping rope is.
Half a month later, Jiang Nian started to straighten her bones and open her back, and also asked her to start body shape exercises.
After all, he is the one who stays under my nose all day long. It would be inappropriate for him to be hunched over and timid.
The little girl should be prettier, so that people will feel comfortable just by looking at her.
Moreover, Zhou Xiaoju's arrival was exactly what she wanted. She was capable and careful. Now, apart from going up the mountain to collect herbs and treating patients, all other chores could be left to her, making Jiang Nian much less worried and laborious.
Zhou Xiaoju is also very satisfied with her current life.
