"How come there is no medicine? Don't you want to sell it to us?"
"I'll add a few cents, please sell it to me!"
"If you want to sell it at a high price, just tell me. Can't I pay more?"
…
The little guy was surrounded by a group of adults who were half his height. Some were angry, some were in disbelief, some were anxious...
Everyone was talking at the same time, and the scene was like hundreds of ducks quacking.
Seven days ago, they were dismissive of the deworming medicine, but after seven days of testing, they found that they really needed the medicine.
At the scene, they seemed to dislike the Lin family's crazy desire to make money and arranged a six-year-old girl to perform.
But after they returned, they immediately became suspicious.
During those seven days, as long as they were in the toilet, their eyes were as focused and sharp as they could be.
After finding nothing unusual for a day or two, they felt relieved.
But not everyone is lucky. There are always a few who have made discoveries. Add to that the villagers who had abnormalities before but tried their best to hide them, and the total number of people is even greater.
Otherwise, according to the nature of the villagers, even if there were gossips, they wouldn't be so numerous.
“Stop, stop, stop!”
"&@?#々%......"
"&@?#々%......"
"listen to me!"
"&@?#々%......"

Lin Shiyu: ...
Forget it, you guys can talk among yourselves!
She sat directly in the middle of the crowd, ignoring the words around her and thinking only about the delicious food she had eaten in modern times.
Wow! It’s so delicious.
Lin Anru pushed through the crowd and looked at her daughter sitting there, swallowing hard.
He paused, already thinking about going to the county town to bring back some delicious food for his daughter.
"Sister Yu."
Lin Anru called her softly and gently shook her body with her hands.
Lin Shiyu came back to her senses and found that everyone had quieted down without her noticing, their eyes fixed on her.
She said to everyone slowly:
"The medicine is really gone. No matter how much money you give me now, it won't help. It's gone."
Someone in the crowd wanted to make an uproar again, but Lin Shiyu spoke first:
"Just because there's none now doesn't mean there won't be any tomorrow. I'm not planning on raising the price. If you need it, you can come and register and pay a 20-cent deposit. My dad will go to the county town tomorrow to buy the medicine, and you can get it."
Lin Shiyu told her original plan and said frankly:
"Of course, if you think my medical skills are not good or the medicine is too expensive, you can go to the county town to see a doctor and get the medicine yourself. The choice is yours. Don't ask me which one to choose. I won't force you anyway."
All of a sudden, most of the villagers in need began to line up to have Lin Shiyu diagnose their pulse, while a small number of people chose not to.
Not every household can easily come up with two hundred coins. Even if they can come up with two hundred coins, with so many people in the family, it is still a problem as to who to buy the medicine for.
In that case, it would be better not to see a doctor in the first place. Life and death are determined by fate.
Of course, there are some people among these people who want to get something for free. Lin Shiyu ignores such people and makes them angry and curse.
There was no villager with particularly poor health among them, so Lin Shiyu was very quick in taking pulses, and the long queue was suddenly reduced by more than half.
On the other side, Liu was responsible for collecting money, and Lin Anru was responsible for registration, and they worked together quite quickly.
"A total of 1,075 coins, of which 600 coins are the cash money that Mr. Li and his family received for the medicine, 15 coins are the money that Lin Ping'an paid back, and 460 coins are for the medicine that will be picked up tomorrow."
The Lin family was the only one left in the lobby. Lin Anru's voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly.
Looking at the copper coins that looked like a small hill, the whole Lin family was so happy that they were grinning from ear to ear.
Especially Lin Anji, he only had ten cents for a villager to see a doctor, so the two hundred cents for his son's medicine was enough, and there was hope for the money for his daughter's medicine as well.
The two elders of the Lin family were also happy. The money their youngest son owed to half the village was like a mountain pressing down on them, making it hard for them to breathe. How could they not be happy now that they had the opportunity to earn money?
The only ones who might be unhappy are Zhang and Lin Shijie from the second house. The better the third house is doing, the angrier they get deep down inside. There's no way they'd be happy.
As for Lin Anxiang, although he was jealous of the pile of silver that was not his, that was all.
He didn't know how much his third brother could earn from a prescription, but it definitely wouldn't be much. After deducting the cost, he doubted that the money earned would even be enough to pay off his third brother's debts.
He didn't want the other two brothers to live too well, but he also didn't want them to live too badly.
"Dad and Mom, this money is not enough to buy medicine. I may need to lend you some. I will return it to you after receiving the balance."
The reason why Lin Anru counted the money in the lobby was because he did it on purpose.
If he takes his parents' money after the family splits up, his other brothers will think that it is a subsidy from his parents. Even if he says it is a loan, no one will believe him.
"Okay, how much more do you need? I'll go in and get it for you later."
The two elders agreed immediately.
"It will cost about one or two taels of silver."
Last time I bought the medicine, I didn't buy it one prescription at a time, so the clinic charged a cheaper price. Without rounding off the decimals, the average price of one prescription was about 40 cents.
There were twenty-three people who made reservations this time. In addition, there were two children from Lin Ping'an's family who were in charge of keeping accounts. Together with him and Liu, a total of twenty-seven prescriptions were needed.
About one or two taels of silver would be enough, and the seventy taels of silver he had on hand were enough.
However, after deducting the ten cents they paid to Lin Anji, they could earn about one hundred and fifty cents from each prescription.
Huge profits!
Very profitable!
The kind of huge profits that make people tremble.
Lin Anru didn't dare let outsiders know about such a lucrative business, even if that person was his parents.
Therefore, borrowing money was just a way to cover up their behavior of making a lot of money.
"Brother, I can only give you your money after receiving the final payment."
"Okay, okay, it's okay, no rush, no rush."
Even though there was no money, Lin Anji was still smiling happily.
"What money? Big brother, third brother, you made money without me, don't you think of me as a brother?"
Lin Anru glanced at him, decisively put away the copper coins, and left with his wife and children.
Doesn't this person know how disgusting he is?
Lin Anji followed suit, pulled his wife and children who were watching the fun and ran away.
Even the two elders of the Lin family just shook their heads when they heard his question and walked slowly back to their room.
The second one has been fighting with the other two recently. How dare he still have the nerve to seek benefits?
Besides, he didn't tell his elder and younger brothers where he made the money he used to buy the land some time ago. Now that they have made money, they are rushing to help him.
