Manager Ren quietly tugged at her clothes. Although Master Dong's feet did smell a bit, he shouldn't be so obviously disgusted!
After all, they are the big spenders who came to give money to the clinic, aren't they?
He Jiuniang, however, wasn't having any of it. She covered her nose and said, "You stink like this, who are you trying to kill? Go back and wash yourself before you come back!"
After saying that, he turned around and went outside to get some fresh air.
Dong Dacai was both angry and embarrassed. He hit the steward, who hurriedly told a servant to fetch a basin and water to help him wash his feet.
This smell didn't develop overnight; it's probably because Dong Dacai doesn't like washing his feet. He Jiuniang finds it hard to imagine how the doctor who treated him before managed to put up with it.
Even after writing it three times, the smell was still there. He Jiu Niang wrote a prescription and asked the servant to get the medicine, grind it into powder, and put it into the foot bath water. Dong Da Cai soaked in it for fifteen minutes, and the smell was temporarily gone.
This whole thing was pretty awkward. The arrogant and domineering Dong Dacai was completely dejected. He was already feeling unwell, and after being tormented for so long, he had no ability to resist anymore.
He didn't even have the energy to dwell on the immense psychological trauma caused by He Jiuniang examining him while wearing a mask and gloves.
Whatever.
He had lost all will to live.
His condition is quite serious; it's inflamed. The most important thing is to reduce the inflammation and relieve the pain.
He Jiuniang first gave him a few acupuncture needles to relieve the pain, and then went to prescribe an anti-inflammatory medicine.
After receiving several injections, Dong Dacai felt completely comfortable and the pain was really gone.
Suddenly, I felt that all the humiliation I had suffered before was nothing. If I had come yesterday, I wouldn't have had to suffer so much!
This woman is really something!
Afterwards, she also applied medicine to his wound. He Jiuniang wore a mask and gloves throughout the process, and washed her hands carefully several times afterward.
Dong Dacai: ...
He will definitely wash his feet properly from now on!
Seeing that the matter was almost settled and Dong Dacai was about to leave, Manager Ren stepped forward with a smile and said, "Master Dong, today's consultation fee is two hundred taels."
"What?"
Dong Dacai almost couldn't sit still. So expensive?
Manager Ren chuckled twice and said, "This was instructed by Doctor He. She said her unique acupuncture technique commands a high price, and also... and there's also the wealthy Mr. Dong... who drove away some customers, so she has to compensate him as well..."
He really couldn't bring himself to say the last sentence, but when he thought about the two hundred taels of silver, and that their clinic would get one hundred taels, he figured it was a steal!
Dong Dacai: ...
He waved his hand, signaling the butler to take care of it.
Only after placing two silver coins, each worth a hundred taels, in Manager Ren's hand were Dong Dacai and his servants allowed to leave the clinic.
Manager Ren, holding the hundred taels of silver he had received, gave He Jiuniang a thumbs-up: "Brilliant! Doctor He!"
He Jiuniang made a net profit of 1,100 taels of silver in one morning. She calmly put the money away. Her son's dowry for his wife was now secured.
Now that his foot was no longer hurting, Dong Dacai was finally able to think about what the housekeeper had told him about the Gao family the day before.
"Send someone to visit the Gao family right now and find out what's going on there. If they're reliable, then make that bitch pay!"
He was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He had to get back all the humiliation he had suffered at Yuyuan Hall today!
"Understood, sir. I'll make the arrangements as soon as I get back!"
The butler agreed, and then they heard someone calling them from behind.
It was Yu Yuan Tang's young shop assistant again. He looked at Dong Da Cai, who was being carried, and said very respectfully, "Master Dong, Doctor He said that your gout is very serious. You will experience pain once a month from now on, so you must have regular check-ups!"
rough!
Dong Dacai almost swore. He used to only have an occasional attack of his illness, but after He Jiuniang treated him, he had an attack every month!
He knew it was that woman who was setting him up, but he couldn't produce any proof!
Going there once a month means sending two hundred taels of silver to that shabby clinic every month!
The butler asked in a low voice, "Master, is the Gao family still going...Master! Master!"
Dong Dacai fainted from anger. The butler had to pinch his philtrum for a while before he woke up. He looked ten years older than he had been before.
He was brilliant all his life, how could he have ruined it all because of that wretched woman!
After a long while, he said weakly, "As for the Gao family, let's just forget about them..."
He didn't want to have to make a big show of apologizing every month, costing 1,200 taels each time; he couldn't afford that!
The housekeeper agreed, although he felt it was a pity to lose such a large sum of money, but at the moment there seemed to be no other way.
He Jiuniang held the Dong family's lifeline firmly in her grasp, so they dared not act recklessly.
So the Lu family could happily set up their street stall again. For this matter, Boss Yu even made a special trip to Yuyuantang to confirm with He Jiuniang.
"Madam He, you've offended the Dong family. Aren't you afraid of their retaliation?"
Because the Dong family has been causing trouble lately, he doesn't dare sell any of the clothes in his shop, for fear that the Dong family will come knocking on his door.
Although he owns some businesses, they are nothing compared to the Dong family, and he wouldn't dare to go head-to-head with them.
"It's alright, you can sell with confidence. Dong Dacai wrote me a guarantee."
Of course, she wouldn't admit that she had manipulated things to make Dong Dacai have a recurring episode every month, keeping him firmly under her control, so she wasn't afraid.
"But as far as I know, even the county magistrate treats the Dong family with deference, so I'm afraid the guarantee won't be of any use!"
Mr. Yu was really worried for her. He Jiu Niang was clearly acting like a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers. After all, she was his son's benefactor, so he still wanted to remind her.
"It's alright. Dong Dacai has a lot of health problems, and I have something on him. Don't panic."
"What illness?"
He Jiuniang glanced at him and thought this man was a bit gossipy.
"Ahem, for example—being unable to have a son~"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Yu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "You have a solution for that too?"
He's interested in this!
He currently has only one son, and he and his wife have a good relationship. He has no intention of taking a concubine and naturally wants to have more children with his wife.
"no way."
Without a second thought, He Jiuniang continued, "I can't do anything about you, but I can do something about Dong Dacai."
"What's the meaning?"
Mr. Yu became even more curious: Does seeing a doctor discriminate based on the individual?
"Madam He, we've known each other for a while now..."
He became even more eager; these days, who doesn't want a son!
He Jiuniang was speechless. She had only wanted him to focus on his business, but now...
“Mr. Yu, you yourself said that we’ve known each other for a while, would I lie to you? You’re healthy, so having a child will naturally come naturally. Dong Dacai has a problem, that’s why I said I had a way, do you understand?”
This was actually discovered when we examined Dong Dacai before. Dong Dacai had a poison in his body, but it wasn't really a poison. It just inhibited the survival rate of that thing, making him unable to have children.
As a result, Dong Dacai is already quite old and still has no children. Even if he manages to have a child, the child won't live long, which is another problem altogether.
The Dong family is quite interesting.
