He Qin was happy for Uncle. If he could find a wife, they could live a good life, and with a companion, he would have a better future. When a person was young, he did not feel anything, but when they grew old, they knew how important it was to have a partner. Even if it was something like catching a cold, it would be very pitiful if no one was there to bring tea.
“Su Mian has returned, is she home?”
Su Mian looked up, wondering when a dozen people had entered her yard. Men, women, and children were present.
He Qin quickly went out and saw Liu Lao Ga Da at the front, “What’s wrong, Xiao Mian is home!”
“Sister, we have all come to find Su Mian to treat us. Having waited a whole winter, as soon as we started working in spring, all the illnesses came out!”
“Yes, sister, let Su Mian take a look at us. I have been coughing for over a month and it still has not gotten better.”
He Qin looked in the yard and saw around 20 people. She was a little worried. Her daughter was already working hard at school and when she came home, she still could not rest well.
Su Mian knew that this was hard on He Qin so she went out by herself. She was very weak right now, but it would be alright to take a look at everyone’s headaches and fevers.
Besides, these were all Apricot Village’s people. They were simple and diligent. Disregarding their gossiping nature, these people did not just stand by and watch when critical things happened.
In her previous life, after Su Mian had been imprisoned, Su Mian’s family and her second uncle’s family had completely broken apart. It had been the villagers who helped Su Mian choose a land with good feng shui and buried Su Jiang Hai.
People should be grateful when they are alive. Remembering her past life vividly, Su Mian could not refuse even more.
Now that she had this ability, she would help as long as she could. It was not easy to go to the county town. Not to mention having to walk 5 li and take the public bus, everyone’s situation was bad and they could not bear to part with even two yuan.
What was more, her medicine could not be compared to ordinary medicine.
“Alright, everyone line up. I will sort out some things on hand first and take a look at everyone in a moment!” Su Mian spoke as she held a bucket and walked.
A youth ran over and reached out, grabbing Su Mian’s bucket, “Sister Su Mian, you can treat everyone. Let me do these things!”
Oh! Su Mian uttered aloud, only to realise it was Xiao Liu Zi. He had grown a lot taller and had become cleverer and bolder. Later on when she had gone to school, she had not known how Xiao Gao’s wife’s body had recovered after miscarriage.
Now, Su Mian was quick at looking at these small ailments and could look at one in ten minutes. After looking, she would prescribe medicine and give precautions as well as advice on dietary restrictions.
In fact, none of the villagers had any major problems and many of the issues were root causes of problems that had occurred from their farming work all year round. Su Mian prescribed traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine could remove the root of the illness and had few side effects.
“Su Mian, where did you buy your medicine from? I feel like it works better than the medicine prescribed to me in town.” Liu Lao Ga Da spoke the truth. When he had visited Su Mian once during winter vacation, he had drunk it for half a month and had gotten better. This time, he had an issue with his leg and had gone to town, but the medicine he drank for a month had not healed it.
“Uncle Liu, as you said, medicine is the same. My medicines are purchased with the help of Dean Li at the county hospital. Your old legs will need at least three months of medicine.”
Although she was fast, there were a lot of people. At noon, she ate a few mouthfuls of food and continued treating patients.
He Qin’s heart hurt a lot. She could see that Su Mian was very tired, but she could not let the villagers go home unhappy so she just bore through it. Since Su Mian had not said anything, she could only watch Su Mian for another afternoon.
Only when the sun went down and nobody else came did Su Mian stand up and walk around.
After eating three big bowls of rice that night, Su Mian was really too tired. After eating, she fell asleep and did not even enter the tower space.
However, after Su Mian’s publicity, Dean Li’s reputation in Apricot Village rose suddenly.
