After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Lin Mingxuan and Nanxing did not sleep all night, their eyes were bloodshot. An old couple came to the door, saying that they had a severe cough at night and wanted to get some medicine. Lin Mingxuan asked them to sit down and asked them in detail. Several big men dragged the middle-aged man who was in charge of the shop to the clinic and pushed him to pay the medical expenses.

The steward reluctantly took out his purse and complained, "If you want to blame someone, blame him for being careless. If you want to blame someone, blame you for not cleaning the floor."

"The construction schedule is so tight and we are urged to work on it every day. We didn't even stop even when it snowed. How can you blame us?" said the big man who was in charge yesterday.

"Is it me who is anxious? It's the boss who is anxious. What can I do? When I first approached you, you promised very well, saying that you have experience, can endure hardships, and guarantee to do a good job. But now you blame me?"

"Tan Laowu," the big man pushed him, "What did you say at the beginning? You said that the big boss was generous and the wages were high. Who would have thought that you would put such a tight deadline on the construction. We brothers worked from dawn to dusk, and you even urged us to eat and pee... Stop talking nonsense, and pay the money to treat our brothers' illnesses."

"I..." The manager looked weak and helpless in front of several big men, and slammed his purse on the counter with a bang.

"Doctor, how much more medicine does my brother need to take, and how much silver will it cost?" the big man asked anxiously.

Xiaoqiang and his companions stood behind the counter, taking out the prescriptions for the next few days and the packaged herbs. The shopkeeper fiddled with the abacus, and after a moment, he said, "We'll need another three taels of silver."

"Three ounces? That's so much!" The foreman expressed doubt and pulled the prescriptions over. "Isn't it just a bamboo splinter? Can't you just get it out and apply some medicine?"

"My dear brother, the patient is seriously injured and we had a lot of trouble to save him. He needs treatment for external injuries and blood circulation. The doctor needs to come to your home for further treatment. Three taels of silver is not too much." The shopkeeper explained.

"Only two taels, no more." The foreman pushed his purse aside.

"You!" The big man grabbed him by the collar, "Don't even mention two taels, you have to pay me twenty taels."

"Why should I pay? I didn't push him down... You have a good relationship with him and you keep calling him 'brothers', so why don't you pay?"

"Isn't our money in your hands? Last month's wages haven't been paid yet!" Several big men nearby hurriedly chimed in.

"That's because the boss said to give it a few days. I didn't hold back on it. This is all I have!"

"Bullshit, I saw you drinking wine yesterday!"

"You have to pay for this."

"Do you want us to go to your house and look it over? Do you dare to let us go?"

Several people started quarreling, the old couple covered their mouths and started coughing again, passers-by looked around and talked in low voices, and the clinic was about to fall into chaos.

"Everyone, this is just a medical consultation. There's nothing exciting to see. Just do what you need to do." At some point, Ding Xirui came to the door. She was carrying a food box and Banxia was holding a small package. They persuaded the people at the door to leave one by one.

Lin Mingxuan was relieved for the moment and continued with the consultation.

Ding Xirui placed the lunch box at one end of the counter, turned around and took a step closer to the big men: "Please discuss this calmly. There are other patients in the clinic who need treatment. The eldest brother in the back hall is seriously injured, and there is also a pregnant woman." She deliberately emphasized the word "pregnant woman".

After hearing this, the few people really stopped making a fuss. The big man loosened the collar of the steward and continued to whisper something. Ding Xirui called Nanxing and Xiaoqiang over and learned about the previous conversation between the few people.

"I gave two taels of silver, which is already a great favor. He fell down accidentally. It has nothing to do with me." The manager spread his hands.

"It's all because you pushed me too hard... That Boss Xiao is nothing!"

"Brother, let's go find the guy named Xiao!" said another big man.

"You guys go look for him. The boss is in Qizhou now. Where can you find him?" The manager snorted coldly and put his hands into his sleeves.

"…When will he come back?"

"how could I know……"

Anger flashed in the big man's eyes again, and he took a step closer to the manager, "I don't care. Anyway, my brother is injured and can't work, and his wife is pregnant. The boss is not here, and you are the manager, so you have to pay the money."

The manager took a step back, but still said stubbornly: "You are being unreasonable. You are bullying me alone. Get out of the way. I still have to check on the other two shops!"

"Big brother," Ding Xirui's voice sounded, "the new shop is about to open, the boss must want peace and security."

Everyone was stunned and looked at Ding Xirui. The steward's mouth twitched, and he looked Ding Xirui up and down, and said unhappily: "This is nonsense."

"If someone almost died before the store even opened, I'm sure its reputation will not be good in the future." Ding Xirui continued slowly.

The manager swallowed his saliva, as if he had some reservations: "No one wants something like this to happen. It's not that I don't care. I've already given them the money. They are just greedy."

"You, I just asked you to pay for the medicine, I didn't ask for more from you!" The big man approached again, his eyes wide open with anger.

The manager leaned closer to the counter.

"Brother Manager, it's really great that you can offer two taels." Ding Xirui smiled slightly.

"Right." The manager straightened up as if he had received help. Several big men stared at Ding Xirui, some of them trying to divert their anger.

"However, only two taels is far from enough. The medicine costs three taels. In my opinion, it should be doubled to six taels."

"What?" The manager's expression changed immediately. The big men looked at each other, feeling a little puzzled.

"When the boss is not here, you are the biggest boss in the shop. If you do a good job, the credit is yours, and if you do a bad job, the blame is also yours." Ding Xirui said softly, "You just said that there are three shops in Lan County. This industry is not small. If the shop is not open yet, and the reputation of mistreating workers and not caring about their lives spreads, it will be difficult to do business in the future."

"How could you treat them harshly? This was clearly an accident." The manager slapped the counter. The big man next to him immediately pulled him aside and said, "You were harsh. If you hadn't been so anxious, how could an accident have happened?"

"Manager Tan, brothers, please listen to what I have to say first." Ding Xirui spoke again.

Everyone quieted down. The manager turned around helplessly, but he was surrounded by several big men and couldn't get out at all.

"Whether it was an accident or not, it has already happened. The big brother inside was seriously injured. If he hadn't survived last night, he would have lost his life. Fortunately, nothing is wrong now. Otherwise, the government would have to investigate and surround your shop. I don't know how long the rest of the work would have been delayed."

The steward surnamed Tan twitched his lips again, as if he was a little scared, "Isn't this nothing..."

"It will be too late if something happens. The shop hasn't opened yet, so reputation is the most important thing. In the middle of winter, the man is injured and can't move, so he can't earn wages, and the woman is pregnant and can't move easily. As a result, the employer still doesn't care. If the news gets out, will the shop's reputation be good?"

"Didn't I pay two taels?"

"Manager Tan," Ding Xirui ignored him, "if you can pay six taels, firstly, you can help the couple pay for their medical expenses, and secondly, you can also provide them with a household subsidy for a period of time. They will be very grateful to you and the shop, and the brothers will also remember your kindness, and the good reputation of the shop will spread. The neighbors will have a good impression, and they will naturally patronize the shop more often after the opening, so you won't have to worry about business. When the big boss knows about it, he will definitely give you a credit."

The manager seemed to be thinking about something.

Ding Xirui glanced at the big men and continued, "Otherwise, the big brothers will keep you company all day long out of brotherly love, and the shop will be delayed day by day, unable to open on time, and its reputation will get worse and worse. If the boss investigates, he will definitely say that you are incompetent. Can you still continue to be the manager comfortably?"

"Yes, I will pester you for one day if you don't pay me. Anyway, I can't get my wages now, so I might as well not work." said the big man in the lead.

"Yes, yes, it is you who is more anxious and urges us to do things all day long." The others echoed.

"Manager Tan, just pay the six taels of silver. It's auspicious and a good omen." Xiaoqiang said on the side.

"Six taels is too much." The steward touched his chest unconsciously and muttered.

"Can't Manager Tan pay six taels of silver?" Ding Xirui smiled. Buying and selling shops, rebuilding, wood, sand, workers, there are a lot of profits and water in it. He is definitely not someone who can't pay six taels of silver. Even if he is asked to pay ten taels, he can afford it. But ten taels is indeed too much, and Ding Xirui doesn't want to drag it out for too long.
