Miss He was thrilled and became teary-eyed. She felt like she was hallucinating. She did not expect her and her husband to still be fine after spending a few copper coins and that Su Binglan could cure Lin Chai with just a few needles.
Su Binglan held Miss He’s hand. “I told you that acupuncture costs nothing.
You only need to pay five coins for the medicine.”
Miss He was somewhat at a loss and wondered if it was really only five coins. She thought it could not be so cheap and that Su Binglan was always trying to help them. However, she did not know what to say because she feared misspeaking.
Su Binglan noticed her expression and smiled. “That’s true. It was the same when I started my business, and it’s the same when I give medical services.” Only then did Miss He and Lin Chai finally believe that acupuncture cost nothing.
“Since you want to treat your husband, Mr. Lin, you can sit here. I’ll treat you with a few needles.”
Lin Chai was still in disbelief as he sat there in a daze, his entire body stiff, not daring to move. Su Binglan took a sterilized silver needle and pricked him a few times.
Lin Chai felt a strange sensation in his throat and tongue.
Su Binglan looked at him and said, “You can speak now, Mr. Lin.”
“Thank you, Miss Su.” Lin Chai was in disbelief when he spoke. He appeared utterly dazed because he could not believe he had spoken so smoothly. He did not stutter.
The most excited person was Miss He. She looked at her husband. “You spoke so smoothly just now! Speak another sentence.”
“Have I recovered?” Lin Chai was stunned.
Whenever he spoke in the past, he could never connect the first and second words. Instead, he would stammer.
Miss He became teary-eyed and nodded. “All right, all right.”
Lin Chai excitedly stood up and hugged his wife. “I’m fine! I’m finally fine!” He was typically reserved and would never do such a thing, but he was too excited. People always laughed at him for stammering when he was young. He also felt inferior, and his stuttering affected him mentally.
He dared not go out or talk to anyone for fear of people laughing at him. Lin Chai always felt that people were looking at him with sympathy. Therefore, he usually went to work in the fields alone without communicating with anyone. He was only willing to speak in front of his wife.
Miss He secretly shed tears because she had never seen him so happy. Lin Chai was like a child, and she was genuinely happy for him.
Su Binglan looked at them and laughed. ‘That’s great.’
When Lin Chai calmed down, he bowed deeply to Su Binglan. “Thank you so much, Miss Su! You’re our savior!”
‘Get up, Mr. Lin,” Su Binglan said, “I’m a doctor who gives medical advice, and a doctor’s job is to treat and save people.”
Although she said that, Miss He and Lin Chai were not ignorant. They knew Su Binglan had helped them tremendously. Otherwise, it would have cost a lot of money to cure them.
Still, Su Binglan did not take much, and the couple only spent five coins to get the medicine.
When Miss He and Lin Chai exited the room, the two were carrying medicine bags smilingly. There were a few people in line. They noticed Miss He and Lin
Chai’s expressions and asked, “Did you take your wife for a checkup, Lin Chai?”
“Miss Su is a kind person. She said my wife will be okay after a few days of recovery.” Lin Chai no longer stuttered and was willing to speak. He spoke so smoothly that everyone present was stunned.
“Have you recovered, Lin Chai?”
He nodded. “Yes, Madam Gui, I’ve recovered. I can speak normally now.”
Madam Gui slapped her thigh. “Oh my! Miss Su is a miracle doctor. That’s no ordinary medical feat because she genuinely cured you. I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t see it with my own eyes.”
After an afternoon of work, the entire Su Teng Village knew what Su Binglan had done. Everyone kept talking about how good Su Binglan’s medical skills were while they started a fire to cook at home.
Su Binglan was a miracle doctor who treated everyone for free. Even the price of medicine was low. No one knew how to thank her.
Su Binglan did not think about this as she was tired after a busy afternoon. On the other hand, Su Wenxiu did not feel tired but was thrilled instead.
‘Everyone is grateful to you, Sister.”
Su Binglan said, “Everyone will be grateful if a doctor has a kind heart and treats people sincerely. It was all thanks to Second Brother’s medicinal herbs this time. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to help everyone.”
Su Wenxiu chuckled in embarrassment and said, “If it weren’t for your suggestion to plant medicinal herbs, I wouldn’t have thought of this place. You dug up all these herbs from the back of the mountain and planted them here.
“They overgrew. Since we can plant these medicinal herbs ourselves, it doesn’t cost much. We can charge the villagers lower prices for the herbs we harvest.” Su Wenxiu packed his things and continued, “I feel more helpful now, Sister.”
Su Binglan looked at the book her second brother was holding and asked, “Those are notes you wrote down, Wenxiu?
“Yes, I typically note all the diseases I’ve seen and often read them. That way,
I’ll have more experience as a doctor in the future.”
Su Binglan nodded, “You’re good that way, Second Brother. Learn more, and you will become a fine doctor.”
Su Wenxiu was embarrassed by his sister’s compliment. “I’m going to plant more medicinal herbs, Sister. With your consultations, we’ll need more medicine and medicinal herbs.”
After some thought, Su Binglan said, “You can spend two days studying at Hundred Herbs Hospital. You can stay home and grow more herbs any other time. I will teach you when I’m home and bring you along to gain practical experience whenever I’m at the clinic.”
“All right,” Su Wenxiu said, full of fighting spirit.
After a busy day, Su Binglan ate dinner and returned to her room to sleep. When she entered the room, she looked at Luo Jin’an and said lowly, “I’m going to sleep.”
She could barely even open her eyes.
Luo Jin’an grabbed her wrist and looked down at her. He asked softly, “Did you
tire yourself out today?”
Then he lowered his head and could see the fatigue in his wife’s eyes. Su Binglan seemed a little weaker than usual. Her husband pulled her, and her entire body leaned into his arms.
She felt that he had grown taller again. He was more than a head taller than her, and even when he walked, he had an otherworldly temperament. Su Binglan had to look up at her husband even when she stood like this. She wanted to grow faster too.
Su Binglan rubbed her eyes and said, “I’m okay. I’m not too tired, but I’m just sleepy. ”
Still, she was tired after a busy day but did not want Luo Jin’an to worry..
