Isn't she afraid that she won't be able to make a living in Yanyang in the future?
As a result, Su Ruojin took the silver note and naturally stuffed it into her sleeve. With a smile, she said to the group, "I would like to thank all the doctors for their kindness. Please do me the honor of joining me for a drink at Wangyue Tower later."
It's just a few tables of food, how much can it cost? Even if you bring out all the most expensive dishes and drinks at Wangyue Tower, it would only cost ten taels of silver at most.
Ten taels of silver can be exchanged for five hundred taels of silver – a sure-fire way to make a profit!
Cai Fanzhou and his companions' last hope was dashed, and they cursed Su Ruojin in their hearts once again.
Several doctors glanced at Cai Fanzhou, seemingly unintentionally. Cai Fanzhou cleared his throat and said, "No need for a drink, but we have a favor to ask of you, and we hope that Doctor Su can help us."
Having just received five hundred taels of silver, Su Ruojin naturally wouldn't refuse, and asked, "What is it about? If I can help, I certainly won't refuse."
Upon hearing this, excitement shone through their faces.
The fish has taken the bait.
This time, it's Su Ruojin's turn to be embarrassed.
Cai Fanzhou said, "It is like this. Recently, I heard that Qingyang City in the north of Da Chu was hit by a snow disaster, and the people in the city are suffering terribly. In addition, the freezing weather has caused frequent diseases. Our Ji Rentang took the lead and donated a total of seven thousand taels of silver to Qingyang City together with the major medical clinics in Yanyang City. Today, I would like to ask Ren'aitang if it will participate in this donation and help the disaster victims in Qingyang City."
Upon hearing this, the way the surrounding people looked at Cai Fanzhou and his group changed.
"As expected of Jirentang, it truly lives up to the name 'benevolent doctor'."
"Yes, yes, that's seven thousand taels of silver in one go, that's no small sum."
“My cousin married and moved to Qingyang City. She recently came back and said that the snow disaster there was terrible. The houses were all crushed by the heavy snow, and the people had nowhere to live. They were living in dilapidated temples. In the freezing cold, many people froze to death.”
"How pitiful."
"Who can argue with that?"
......
Yanyang City is not very large, with no more than ten medical clinics in total. Seven thousand taels of silver is equivalent to an average investment of seven hundred taels per clinic.
This means that not only will Su Ruojin have to return all the silver she just received, but she will also have to pay an additional two hundred taels.
For a newly opened ordinary medical clinic, coming up with two hundred taels of silver is not a small amount.
Cai Fanzhou insisted on bringing this up in public, simply to force Su Ruojin to agree through public opinion.
Cai Fanzhou was convinced that Su Ruojin, a young girl, couldn't possibly have much money. She must have spent all her savings to barely keep the clinic running, so there was no way she could afford to donate any more.
Cai Fanzhou was determined to make Su Ruojin produce silver or medicine in front of everyone.
If she can't produce it, then she lacks compassion. How can a doctor who lacks benevolence be called a doctor? How can Su Ruojin have the face to live in Yanyang City?
Before Su Ruojin could speak, Cai Fanzhou added seemingly kindly, "Dr. Su's clinic has just opened, so she may not have much money. You can donate medicinal herbs directly. The new clinic must have prepared a lot of medicinal herbs. I believe Dr. Su can provide them."
Seeing Cai Fanzhou's amused expression, Su Ruojin was certain that Cai Fanzhou was involved in yesterday's warehouse fire.
If you want to force her to donate and make her look foolish, then let's see if you, Cai Fanzhou, have the ability to do so.
Su Ruojin smiled slightly and slowly opened her mouth.
