After dinner, Jiang Nian looked at the mud in the yard and thought, "Where can I get stones or slates here? When the weather clears up, we can pave the ground in the yard to avoid stepping on mud when it rains."
Even if you don't pave the entire yard, at least you should pave a gravel path so that they can walk more easily.
Ye Zhiqiu quickly said, "The slate needs to be polished, and the price is quite expensive. I know there is a gravel factory next to Balitun. We can get some gravel and spread it in the yard. If we spread it thicker and higher, it won't be like this now."
Jiang Nian nodded, "Then lay the gravel. Remind me when the mud on the ground dries."
Perhaps because the road was difficult to travel on, it was not until noon that a patient arrived. They were a family of five, three of whom were acquaintances.
It was Zhang Ershazi’s family from Xiaowangzhuang. They came with his sister and brother-in-law. Judging from their faces, the whole family seemed to be kind and honest people.
Jiang Nian originally asked them to come find her the next day, but the family never came, and she didn't take it to heart, thinking that others just didn't want to believe her.
Ye Zhiqiu was still a little scared when he saw them. It was a fear rising from the bottom of his heart that he could not overcome for a while.
But she still plucked up her courage and made herself look less embarrassed.
"Uncle, aunt, are you here to see my teacher for treatment?"
Her eyes couldn't help but fall on Zhang Er. The tall man had a look of aggrieved expression on his face, just like the expression he had when he first knew that she refused to marry him. He looked like a child who couldn't get what he wanted.
Father Zhang smiled awkwardly, a little embarrassed, "Yes, I remember that Dr. Jiang asked us to come to her. You know our situation. Our family is not rich, and we are afraid that we can't cure him, so we have been wasting time and dare not come. It's not that we don't want to believe in Dr. Jiang's medical skills, but..."
This is how an honest person speaks. If he doesn’t do what others tell him to do, he will inevitably feel a little ashamed when it comes again.
They were really forced to do so, and Jiang Nian's reputation was so loud that they finally made up their minds to give it a try.
Jiang Nian had heard their words in the room and said, "Zhi Qiu, take them to the clinic. I'll be there soon."
She still prefers challenging things. She has never encountered a situation like Zhang Er, but she has seen it in the medical books passed down from her ancestors, so she can't help but want to challenge it.
She has seen many patients with minor illnesses such as colds, fevers, and backaches, so she is willing to treat this kind of illness even if she doesn't charge them for the medical expenses.
There was a curtain in the middle of the clinic, and behind the curtain was Ye Zhiqiu's bedroom.
As soon as Jiang Nian came in, he saw Zhang's father with a worried look on his face. "Doctor Jiang, I still want to ask first, if my son's disease is treated, is it expensive?"
This is also what they have been hesitating about. If the patient can be cured, it is worth spending some money, even if it means selling everything they have. But the fear is that the money is spent but the patient is not cured, and life at home will become even more difficult.
After all, I only have this one son. When he was just getting stupid as a child, I ran around to take care of him, and this is the situation I encountered.
Sister Zhang also habitually played the victim, "Doctor Jiang, please don't be surprised, it's not that we are reluctant to spend money, but we are all poor. My parents are old, and our own conditions are not good. We really can't help much. We are also afraid that the medical expenses will not be renewed, and the efforts will be wasted. I hope you can understand." This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
