Chapter 86: I'm a person, I went to the doctor, and I celebrated Qianyan's birthday.
The clinic operated as usual that day.
Three women who were somewhat attractive lined up for their medical appointments, and the crowd became a bit noisy.
A short while later, the curator arrived and pulled Mu Huaisheng aside.
"Doctor Mu, these three women."
"Can we please not treat them?"
Why?
They pay for the consultation too!
Mu Huaisheng was taking the pulse when he suddenly felt completely bewildered.
You're young~
You do not understand!
Those three women were from a brothel!
Upon hearing this, Mu Huaisheng looked over as instructed, and there was nothing he couldn't understand.
He paused, then said seriously to the curator:
"Master, it doesn't matter what they do."
They are sick and come to me for treatment, and I will treat them!
I know you're in a difficult position, but don't worry, I'll explain to the people queuing outside.
It won't affect the patients and doctors' work at the clinic.
Upon hearing this, the owner realized that the words were spoken in anger, and he didn't want to cause trouble for his cash cow and let it go to someone else.
"It's alright, it's alright~"
Dr. Mu treats all patients equally, you can take a look first~
I'm just putting on an act.
They came to talk to me, and I just came in to say something, nothing more.
You're busy, don't worry about it, just keep going.
Without wasting words, Mu Huaisheng sat down to take the patient's pulse, write a prescription, and carefully instructed him on the diet and how to use the medicine.
When it came to the women, they were treated the same way.
Upon hearing this, the women were all moved to tears and expressed their deepest gratitude, each giving two taels of silver as payment for the consultation.
"Thank you very much, Doctor Mu!"
No doctor has ever treated our illness like this before!
"My consultation fee is one tael, whatever the price is."
Just make sure you follow my instructions exactly when taking my prescription.
The women thanked her profusely and went to get the medicine.
Mu Huaisheng felt contempt for those doctors who picked and chose their patients:
Aren't those grand mansions also plagued by these same diseases?
Since opening his own clinic, Mu Huaisheng has gained a lot of knowledge and experience.
Those young masters and noblemen usually appear dashing and debonair.
Behind the scenes, there were a few who didn't have affairs with concubines or servants.
In aristocratic families, a prince who only had two concubines before marriage is considered an exceptionally good man!
The secrets and shady dealings within the inner quarters of the house were also constantly being exposed.
In reality, the Crown Prince's wife and noble ladies only prevent their concubines from getting pregnant before their own children's status is secure.
She was already a rare and relatively benevolent matriarch.
Those men, no matter how much of a playboy they are, are still precious.
Are these girls' lives worthless?
That kind of thing doesn't work here!
In the summer, the lords and young masters returned with their caravans after completing their missions.
The emperor indeed rewarded them.
The other ministers, not understanding the situation, were even a little envious.
Xiao Qianyan is ten years old.
Mu Huaisheng looked at the siblings, but neither of them mentioned the matter.
When no one was around, he gave her a set of high-quality writing implements.
I bought him a set of clothes and a silver crown.
Happy 10th birthday, Xiao Qianyan!
From now on, you will be a teenager.
May you cultivate a righteous and upright heart in the future, and may you enjoy health and happiness throughout your life!
The little guy's eyes were a little red. He rushed over and hugged Huaisheng tightly.
Mu Huaisheng gently hugged the little guy back.
I patted his head, feeling a surge of emotion:
In the blink of an eye, in two more years, they'll be as tall as me.
After a long while, the child suddenly seemed to remember something, abruptly let go, grabbed the things, and left!
Mu Huaisheng chuckled to himself:
You old fogey, I bet you're thinking about the differences between men and women again.
During Mu Huaisheng's free clinic, he picked up another little girl!
When Mu Huaisheng conducts free medical consultations, he always asks a kind-hearted small restaurant owner nearby to provide him with food.
Based on his own recipe, he provided four black steamed buns and one egg. After the free clinic ended, Mu Huaisheng went to settle the bill.
During a free clinic, Mu Huaisheng noticed a little girl, about five or six years old.
It seems like I've seen him several times before.
I'm always there to help the elderly, or do whatever I can to assist them.
During this free clinic, Mu Huaisheng needed to use the restroom.
There was a sallow-faced, emaciated man who started to act unreasonably.
"You doctor, if you're going to do a good deed, you should see it through to the end."
I'm also very anxious, please show it to me first.
It won't make a difference if I'm one more person!
Is this some kind of fake kindness? Are you really that upset that you can't see me?
Upon hearing this, Mu Huaisheng's anger flared up.
Just as I was about to retort, a child's innocent voice rang out:
"This uncle is so unreasonable!"
The doctor was providing free medical services, and you didn't pay him.
If everyone were as unreasonable as you...
Where are the doctors now, willing to come and treat people like us who can't even afford to eat?
Those around immediately chimed in, and began to criticize the person.
"I, I, I was just in a hurry, I'm not watching anymore! I'm not watching anymore!"
The man spoke as he walked away.
The little girl then praised those patients who echoed the criticisms leveled at the man.
Mu Huaisheng felt a certain appreciation:
This kid has amazing emotional intelligence!
After the free clinic ended, I saw that the child was still there.
He waved to her, and the little girl immediately ran over.
Huai Sheng held her little hand and asked with a smile:
"Little girl, why aren't you home yet?"
Shopkeeper, give her a few steamed buns and eggs~
The shopkeeper responded and came out with the food.
The little girl took the steamed bun and began to wolf it down.
After finishing a steamed bun, Huai Sheng asked the shopkeeper to serve her some porridge. The child finished it and replied:
I have no home.
This spring, there was a disaster, and my father couldn't get enough food, so he wanted to sell my mother and me.
My mother then took me and we secretly ran away to seek refuge with my uncle.
When we arrived at my uncle's house, there were two mouths to feed.
As time went on, his aunt began to speak harshly to him frequently.
My mother had no choice but to take me to live in the dilapidated temple.
Mother fell ill and couldn't hold on.
My uncle couldn't bear it, so he took me back.
After you came to provide free medical consultations, I saw that other patients were able to get food from the shops after their appointments.
I've come to see a doctor before and received some food.
Later, every time I came, I felt embarrassed to see a doctor again, so I helped out.
The shopkeeper, seeing how pitiful I was, would always give me some of the extra food.
With food available, I didn't need to eat at home for several days after returning.
Auntie, then you won't make things difficult for Uncle...
The little girl, who was skin and bones, spoke in a softer and softer voice.
Mu Huaisheng felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.
If the disaster is not handled properly, who knows how many more children like this will be lost.
The little girl glanced at Huai Sheng's expression, then suddenly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Doctor, I want to sell myself to you, please buy me!"
I've been thinking about this for a long time, but I haven't dared to ask you for help.
I'm willing to be your slave.
I'm also quick-witted; I can do any job, and if I don't know how, I'll learn!
"You seem young, but you speak clearly. Did you study at home before?"
"No, it was my cousin who came back to study, and I overheard some of it."
In our countryside, no one goes to school.
But my aunt was so stingy with money, yet she still let my cousin go to school.
I think reading is good; listening and remembering things will always be useful.
Mu Huaisheng secretly made a decision:
Knowing that children are struggling to survive, it's worthwhile to lend a helping hand!
"Good boy, I can buy you."
But you're too young, and your father is still alive.
If they want to buy you, they'll have to ask your father.
If you want to sell yourself to me, you have to go back to your hometown.
I'll buy you back when your father sells you!
"I understand, I'll think of a way."
I can't go back; I need to let my father know I'm here.
If he knew, he would definitely sell me off immediately to get food.
only..."
"Don't worry, you just need to let me know when your father comes to sell you."
I won't show my face; I'll find someone to buy you out.
Once you have news, go to Cao En Tang, the largest clinic in town, and find the most expensive doctor there.
During another free clinic, the little girl said that her father knew her mother had died and that she was the only one left hiding there, so he had rushed over.
Mu Huaisheng then sought help from Pingbo and explained the whole story.
Ask him to find two unfamiliar people to help him with this matter.
"But a contract with lifelong commitment is absolutely necessary."
Upon hearing this, Pingbo laughed and said:
"Don't worry, Pingbo is better at these things than you are."
"That's true, I'm just showing off my skills in front of Guan Yu, hehe~"
