Miss He was gentle and spoke in a soft and slow voice. However, she was in a hurry and sputtered.
Su Binglan smiled and comforted her, “That’s perfect. You must take care of your body, Miss He. Your life will improve in the future.
Miss He’s restlessness and uneasiness calmed down when she heard what Su
Binglan said. Su Binglan was so young yet possessed a mature demeanor. Even Miss He thought her words were convincing. She could not help but feel that her family’s life would improve.
“Thank you, Miss Su.” Miss He did not know how else to thank Su Binglan besides saying it.
When she and Su Binglan entered the room, Su Binglan closed the door and said, “You’re too kind, Miss He. Please lie down on this bed and remove your clothes. I’ll perform acupuncture on you.”
It was late autumn, and everyone wore thick clothes, so it was inconvenient for Su Binglan to perform acupuncture. Miss He did not hesitate and listened to Su Binglan. She removed her clothes, leaving only her undergarments.
Then Su Binglan started her acupuncture treatment on Miss He.
“Miss He,” Su Binglan said, “I’ll have to trouble you to lie down inside for 15 minutes before I can remove the needles.”
“That’s okay, Miss Su. I’ll just lie here while you continue working outside.” Miss He remembered seeing many people waiting in line behind her.
The villagers relied on farming to earn money, so they typically had minor health problems. Initially, everyone thought they just had minor illnesses and did not need to see a doctor.
However, their families persuaded them to go for checkups when they discovered how affordable Su Binglan’s herbs were. If it were not for the villagers’ families, the unwell villagers would think they were well enough and not need to visit a doctor.
Nonetheless, they decided to visit Su Binglan after their family members persuaded them. It would be great if the unwell villagers could get cured by only spending a few dozen coins.
Still, they did not quite believe the news when they heard it. They only believed it when they went to line up and saw that people were only spending a few coins to buy medicine.
When Su Binglan exited the room, she said to Lin Chai, “Mr. Lin, your wife is on acupuncture treatment, so you can go in and keep her company. She’ll be fine in about 15 minutes.”
“A-All right,” he said. Then he nodded and entered the room to accompany his wife.
Meanwhile, Su Binglan continued to examine the rest of the patients. She said to Su Wenxiu while examining someone, “This is what happens to legs in old age. They quickly start hurting when it gets too cold. You should tell the patients to take internal and external medication. The patients can apply external medicine to their legs.”
Su Wenxiu had a good foundation since he studied medicine for a long time. That was why he could quickly remember everything his sister said. He planned to sort these medical cases at night, so he could read and learn more whenever he had free time.
“Yes, I’ll remember that, Sister.”
“It’s five coins for consumption medicine and another five for medicinal herbs for your external application. The external herbs can last you a month. After that, you will no longer feel pain when the weather gets cold again.”
Old Madam Lin was getting excited. “Is it just ten coins, Miss Su? I’m just old, and my leg starts hurting whenever it gets cold. I can’t sleep at night because of the pain.”
Old Madam Lin’s son and daughter-in-law were listening on the sidelines. Her son said, “Why didn’t you say so earlier, Mother? We would have treated you if you did. We didn’t know it was that severe.”
Old Madam Lin waved and said, “It’s natural when you’re old. It’s not like I’ve never gone to town to get medicine in the past. It was too expensive. Anyway, I don’t care much about my life. I’d be fine as long as the weather is warmer.”
Old Madam Lin’s son felt uneasy when he heard that, so he became misty-eyed. “Mother, it must be because you used to wash clothes for others in the past. You even washed them outside when it was cold and freezing. It must’ve affected your legs.”
“There’s no such thing. It’s an old people problem.” Old Madam Lin did not want her son to worry, so she said nothing more. She also brought up that matter because she knew it did not cost much to get treatment or medicine.
Su Binglan’s heart was heavy for the entire afternoon. All the villagers looked fine but had physical problems, constant headaches, and fevers.
She said softly, “Just apply the medicine like I instructed, Old Madam Lin. Take medicine, and your leg will be okay in a month. You can sleep well in the future.”
Old Madam Lin smiled happily. “I don’t believe what others say, but I believe you, Miss Su. Here are the ten coins.” She removed ten coins from her pocket and handed them over.
Then Su Wenxiu immediately went to get the medicine.
Old Madam Lin took it from him and walked back while her son lowered his head and did not say a thing.
“What’s wrong?” Old Madam Lin asked.
Her son sobbed, “Mother, it’s all my fault. I didn’t let you enjoy life with me in the past. Now that you’re old, your legs hurt so much that you can’t sleep. I didn’t even know.”
“It’s not that serious, so don’t overthink. Miss Su said I’ll be fine after taking medicine for a month.”
‘Yes, Mother.”
When it was Wang Quan’s turn, he told Su Binglan about his father’s bad back.
Su Binglan instructed Su Wenxiu to check on him. “It’s ten coins,” she said,
“Your father will be fine after applying the external medicine for half a
month.”
She calmly prescribed the medicine, and Wang Quan was stunned.
“H-He’ll recover in just half a month?” Wang Quan’s mother asked in disbelief. “That quickly?” The rest of Wang Quan’s family could not believe it because they had gone to town to see a doctor before, and Wang Quan’s father did not seem to get better even after taking a lot of medicine.
Su Wenxiu said, “If my sister says your father will recover in half a month, she meant it. Don’t doubt it. We’ll know when we see the results then. If you want to take longer to recover, my sister can tell you it’ll take a month instead.”
He had heard such words too many times and could not help but crack a joke.
Wang Quan laughed awkwardly. “We just feel like it’s too magical. All right, we’ll get the medicine.”
After a quarter of an hour, Su Binglan returned to the inner room and removed the needles from Miss Heo “Okay, I’ll prescribe you some medicine.
Take them, and you should feel better in a few days.”
Indeed, Miss He’s physical condition was a bit serious, but it was much better than Ding Wan’s. However, Su Binglan used acupuncture and her spiritual energy, so Miss He’s body would recover quicker.
Miss He got up from the bed while Lin Chai carefully supported her, asking, “A-Are you o-okay?”
Miss He took a few steps, and her eyes widened. “I-I feel much lighter and no longer tired.”
When Lin Chai heard this, he turned to Su Binglan and said excitedly, “M-Miss Su, m-my wife… T-Thank y-you! T-This… I-It’s so magical!”
He stammered in excitement.
Su Binglan looked at him and said, “Don’t you want a checkup? After just a few needles, you’ll be able to speak more smoothly.”
Miss He got excited this timeo “Miss Su, can you really cure him with just a few needles?! We’ll take the treatment. I brought some copper coins too!”
She was so excited that she revealed all her copper coins, her hands trembling..
