Siheyuan: A romantic village doctor, making trouble

Qin's father gave Zhang Jianjun the money, and then saw that the rain outside had lessened, so he wrapped Qin Jingru in a raincoat and carried her on his back. He said to Zhang Jianjun.

"Thank you, Doctor Zhang. If it weren't for you, this child would have been crazy from the fever today."

Zhang Jianjun said, "Uncle Qin is lucky. If he couldn't find the antipyretic medicine, even gods wouldn't be able to help. It's raining outside, so you must be careful not to let her get wet. Keep warm when you go back, and remember to drink plenty of hot water."

Qin Jingru's father nodded. Qin Jingru was now a little more energetic and much stronger than before. She lay on her father's back, wearing a raincoat, and looked at Zhang Jianjun and said sweetly.

"Thank you, Dr. Zhang. I feel much better now."

Zhang Jianjun nodded and watched the father and daughter leave.

When Qin Huairu heard in the kitchen that it only cost 5 cents, she wanted to find Zhang Jianjun immediately and ask him to let her go, but then she thought that there was still meat to eat here, so she might as well finish eating the meat first.

After a while, Qin Huairu prepared the food and brought it to the table.

Zhang Jianjun saw the food on the table. Qin Huairu's cooking skills were pretty good. She baked two pancakes with white flour. One was vegetarian-style beans, and the other was stir-fried eggplant with meat.

"Your cooking skills are good, but it's a bit wasteful. How can I eat so much food by myself? And in this weather, it can't be stored for a long time."

Qin Huairu heard Zhang Jianjun say this and thought to herself, doesn't he know that I haven't eaten either?

"Doctor Zhang, I'm working here, so you have to provide me with food."

Zhang Jianjun looked at Qin Huairu and said slowly, "If meals are provided, you will have to work here longer. After all, I can't let you eat for free. The meal fee needs to be deducted from your salary."

"Besides, if you eat this kind of food every day here, your daily wages may not be enough to cover the deductions. Then you will have to work as a long-term laborer for me."

Qin Huairu stared at Zhang Jianjun in amazement. "If you don't let me eat, what should I do if I'm hungry?"

Zhang Jianjun picked up the pancake and said while eating, "You have to consider this yourself. If you want to eat here, you have to work harder."

"Of course, you don't have to eat so well. I have some cornmeal in my room. You can make porridge. In this way, I can deduct less money from you."

Qin Huairu saw Zhang Jianjun eating with his mouth full of oil, especially the slices of meat, which made her drool.

After thinking it over, Qin Huairu decided to eat it first. The deduction of money would be a matter for the future, and it was good enough for her to have a piece of meat now.

"You can deduct money if you want. I will eat meat today, and I will eat cornmeal from tomorrow until you finish deducting all the money."

But Qin Huairu is so greedy, Zhang Jianjun said with a smile.

"This is your own choice. You can't blame me when the time comes."

"Words are not enough, written proof is needed. You need to write a written proof, otherwise people will think I did something to you."

Qin Huairu nodded and said to Zhang Jianjun.

"Can we talk about it after we finish eating?"

Zhang Jianjun shook his head. "Let's write everything down first, so we don't have to argue later."

After he finished speaking, he put down the cake in his hand, turned around, took a piece of paper and a pen from another table next to him, and started writing on it.

"Okay, just sign here, and our agreement will be settled. As long as you have enough money to pay me, you can leave."

Qin Huairu looked at what was written on the document.

Qin Huairu owed Zhang Jianjun 5 yuan for medical expenses, so she volunteered to work for Zhang Jianjun until the debt was paid off.

2% of the outstanding balance is charged as interest on a daily basis. Zhang Jianjun assisted Qin Huairu in her food and lodging during her work, and the expenses were deducted from her wages.

Based on the general income in the countryside, Qin Huairu's daily wage was 6 cents.

Looking at these contents, Qin Huairu was a little hesitant.

But under Zhang Jianjun's urging and the attraction of meat, she still signed.

"Okay, now that we've signed, let's sit down and eat together."

Seeing Zhang Jianjun speak, Qin Huairu quickly sat down, reached out to take a pancake, then picked up a piece of fat meat and started eating.

“It’s delicious and smells so good.”

Qin Huairu ate with big mouthfuls. She seldom ate white flour and meat in the Jia family. Even if she did, she would first give them to Jia Dongxu, Banggeng and Jia Zhangshi. She could only eat the leftovers, but most of the time there was nothing left.

Looking at Qin Huairu wolfing down the food, Zhang Jianjun was a little speechless. Her eating manner was a little too ugly.

……

After more than 20 minutes, Qin Huairu burped and looked at Zhang Jianjun embarrassedly.

"Doctor Zhang, I'm sorry, I haven't eaten so much in a long time."

Zhang Jianjun waved his hand and said to her, "You can't eat like this. Your injury has just healed, and eating like this will easily cause a relapse. After a relapse, you will need treatment, and you will have no money by then, and you still owe me money."

Qin Huairu heard Zhang Jianjun say that she might have a relapse, and asked quietly with lingering fear. "It shouldn't matter if I take it once or twice, right?"

Zhang Jianjun said seriously, "Don't always rely on luck. Do you know that many people rely on luck to turn a minor illness into a major one, and a major illness into a terminal one?"

"You must not rely on luck, and this must be clearly remembered."

Qin Huairu was very worried after hearing this. If the disease relapsed, it would be troublesome.

Zhang Jianjun saw her standing there in a daze. "Don't just stand there, clean up the table quickly. You don't have any work to do, do you need me to assign you anything?"

"Huh? Okay, I'll clean it up now."

Qin Huairu came back to her senses and quickly cleaned up the table and took all the empty bowls back to the kitchen to wash them.

Zhang Jianjun shouted to Qin Huairu in the kitchen again.

"Make me a pot of tea first, and then you can do it."

Qin Huairu put down the fire in her hand, made a pot of tea for Zhang Jianjun, and returned to the kitchen to wash the pot.

"Is Doctor Zhang here? Doctor Zhang."

Someone was shouting outside again.

"It's strange today. Usually when I look at you, there's no one here, but now there are so many of you."

Zhang Jianjun thought about it and shouted to the outside of the door.

"Come in, I'm here."

At this time, a woman came in from outside with a little boy, who was about seven or eight years old.

"Doctor Zhang, please take a look. This child is always listless and doesn't like to eat."

The little boy looked at Zhang Jianjun timidly and didn't dare to come forward.

But the woman grabbed him by the neck and brought him close to Zhang Jianjun.

"If you don't eat well, let the doctor give you an injection."

When the little boy heard that he was going to get an injection, he started crying.

"I want to go home, I want to go home, I don't want injections, I like to eat."
