"Come on, come on! Don't miss out! Everyone, come and take a look!"
"Lord Dong is going to apologize to Doctor He! Come and see!"
Early in the morning, the sound of gongs was very loud and deafening, and the neighbors around the clinic and passersby on the street all came to join in the fun.
Such apologies are rare, let alone the scene of the wealthy Mr. Dong apologizing. It's something you can't miss!
Many people have heard of what kind of family the Dong family is in the county. They are always the ones who bully others, and they never get the chance to suffer.
Now that Doctor He has managed to get the head of the Dong family, Dong Dacai, to personally come to apologize to her, she is truly a capable person, so the onlookers are very excited.
Dong Dacai: ...
He had originally planned to do it in the backyard, but who knew this woman was so cunning? Not only in the clinic, but also at the entrance!
He was so angry that his chest heaved violently, and the pain in his feet caused his facial features to scrunch up; he was furious beyond measure.
"You! You! You've gone too far!"
Dong Dacai held back for a long time before finally uttering those words. The old butler beside him hurriedly tried to calm her down, whispering, "Master, bear with it, we'll deal with her later!"
Unfortunately, He Jiuniang had excellent hearing and heard everything clearly. She smiled and said, "You're already thinking about dealing with me later without even apologizing? I won't treat you unless the apology is at least a thousand taels."
Dong Dacai: ...
housekeeper:……
How can her hearing be so good!
Everyone looked at He Jiuniang in disbelief. Asking for a thousand taels of silver was outrageous!
Although Jingzhou is wealthy, not everyone can earn a thousand taels. Let alone ordinary people, even the Dong family would have some difficulty coming up with a thousand taels.
After all, the family has relied on the legacy left by their ancestors for so many years, and the shop business has not been very good. It has to be admitted that the Dong family has been on a downward trend in recent years.
However, in front of so many people, Dong Dacai naturally couldn't show that he was distressed about the money. He gritted his teeth, forced a smile, and said, "Of course, as long as Doctor He is willing to forgive our Dong family and treat my illness, a thousand taels as an apology is only right!"
He Jiuniang glanced at him in surprise, not expecting him to be so flexible; it seemed his leg really hurt.
She stretched out her little hand: "Since that's the case, what are you waiting for? Did you bring the money?"
Of course not!
Dong Dacai gave the old steward a wink, and the old steward immediately told the servant beside him to go back and get the money. He thought that he could get rid of her by giving her forty or fifty taels at most, but who would have thought that this woman would be so bold!
After the servant left, He Jiuniang, with her legs crossed, tossed three sheets of paper to Dong Dacai: "Take this opportunity to write the guarantee. Make three copies, one for each of us, and send one to the county government. If you dare to back out later, hehe..."
She didn't say anything more, she just smiled, little did she know that her laughter sent a chill down Dong Dacai's spine.
She wasn't trying to use the guarantee to get the county magistrate to intervene; she was just making such a big fuss so that everyone could witness it. If Dong Dacai did something against the guarantee later, it wouldn't be surprising if he faced retaliation.
When it comes to disciplining people, she never relies on the government. At most, she will teach them a lesson herself first, and then send them to the government to ask for a reward.
Hmm, referencing the previous "Crotch Guy" incident~
In front of so many people, Dong Dacai couldn't say anything harsh. No matter how ruthless he was in private, he still had to be amiable on the surface.
So, with a forced smile, he took the paper, and the clinic clerk promptly handed him a pen, indicating that Dong Dacai should write a guarantee in public.
Manager Ren asked He Jiuniang in a low voice, "Isn't this going too far?"
"Is there?"
Manager Ren nodded repeatedly.
He Jiuniang twitched the corner of her mouth: "Then why don't you write it for him?"
Manager Ren: ...
He Jiuniang reminded him again, "Don't forget how he just bullied you."
Manager Ren: ...Alright, the wicked will be punished by the wicked.
He's really seen something new today!
He Jiuniang seemed to have opened her third eye; even though she wasn't very close, she could clearly see what Dong Dacai was writing, or whether his writing was neat or not.
Anyway, He Jiuniang spent almost half an hour correcting the content.
"Write down clearly how you bullied my family members."
"Write your handwriting neater! Even a dog's scribbles are better than yours!"
"Have you forgotten how you bullied me, a weak woman, on the street yesterday? Do you want me to help you remember?"
"Will you dare to mess with my family's business again?"
What should I do when I meet my family?
"Finally, it should be clearly stated what the consequences will be if these things are not done."
"Don't give me any of that nonsense about being struck by lightning or anything like that. God doesn't care about your petty matters, but I might reluctantly do something about it."
Dong Dacai: ...
Everyone: ...
It really looks just like a teacher disciplining students!
But no one present dared to say anything more.
Even Dong Dacai was made to feel so aggrieved; how could ordinary people like them possibly be a match for this woman?
However, the biggest beneficiary of this incident was Yuyuantang, whose reputation was greatly enhanced by the event.
Yuyuantang has a miraculous doctor who can make Dong Dacai grovel and apologize and write a guarantee. What's more, the owner of Yuyuantang is an old imperial physician who came from the palace. From now on, anyone with a minor illness or pain will have to come to Yuyuantang!
After dawdling all morning, Dong Dacai finally finished writing the guarantee. He didn't even want to look at it and had the steward and servant give all the one thousand taels of silver notes that had been brought to He Jiuniang.
"Dr. He, are you satisfied now? Can you treat my illness now?"
Dong Dacai almost burst into tears. What terrible things had he done?
He Jiuniang ignored him and carefully read through the guarantee. All three copies were exactly the same before she put away her own copy with satisfaction.
Another copy was given to Dong Dacai, and the remaining copy was sent by the shop assistant to the government for registration.
When the magistrate learned that He Jiuniang was dealing with Dong Dacai, he was so shocked that he ate two extra bowls of rice!
That was so awesome! It was so awesome!
He had been in office for many years, and he felt extremely aggrieved when dealing with the Dong family. Unfortunately, the Dong family was a local tyrant in Daling County and had a great influence in the area. If he wanted to live a peaceful life in office, he could not easily fall out with the Dong family. No matter how aggrieved he felt, he could only endure it.
Today, Dr. He has finally made him proud!
At the clinic, the onlookers were finally dispersed, and everyone entered the clinic to receive treatment.
As the servants of the Dong family were directing Dong Dacai to take off his shoes, an indescribable smell began to waft through the air.
He Jiuniang couldn't help but exclaim, "Yue~"
Everyone: ...
