The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it

"I thought it was a relapse of his old leg disease, and using a cane was normal."

Xie Qifen murmured to herself, with a look of sudden enlightenment on her face. Before this, she had never thought that Su Yu could have such superb medical skills and bring hope of recovery to Jiang Ziling.

"No wonder I haven't seen that kid running around outside these days. Come to think of it, you really are of great help to him. You are simply his lucky star."

Xie Qifen sighed sincerely and felt happy for Jiang Ziling from the bottom of her heart.

If the child who always had a bad fate could recover from his leg disease, it would undoubtedly be a major turning point in his life, just like finally seeing a rainbow after going through wind and rain.

The two of them walked and talked, the topic of which touched upon family matters. Their pace unconsciously quickened as they hurried towards the center of the town.

As the sun rises higher, the streets become bustling with people passing by.

Su Yuxian settled the horses in a nearby stable and made sure they were well taken care of, while the streets of the town were already bustling with people.

They went straight to the clinic. Su Yu had great ambitions in his heart and wanted to leave his own footprints in the medical field; Xie Qifen, having personally experienced the miraculous effect of Su Yu's prescription last night, was even more determined to seek medical treatment for Meng Yuanyou.

When I walked into the clinic, I saw some patients waiting to get their medicines. The clinic was filled with a faint scent of herbs, and there was a bit of busyness in the quietness.

Su Yu smiled and greeted Yuan Feng, who was in charge of the pharmacy, then sat down at his own diagnosis table, ready to start his day's work.

After Xie Qifen got the necessary medicine, she left first. She said to Su Yu, "Sister, I need to go back to my parents' home today. I may be back late. Don't wait for me to go home with you in the evening."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Su Yu watched Xie Qifen's back gradually walking away, and ripples of emotion arose in his heart.

She remembered that Xie Qifen once mentioned that because of Meng Yuanyou's illness, she had to bite the bullet and go back to her parents' home to borrow money.

In this male-dominated society, once a woman gets married, she is often regarded as an outsider, even her own daughter is no exception. This makes Su Yu worry about whether her sister-in-law's trip can go smoothly.

Crowds of people gradually gathered in the clinic, but most people still chose to seek medical treatment from Director Liu, who charged a relatively low fee.

I heard people talking nearby: "Look over there, that's the new female curator. I heard that her medical skills are very good. Even the asthma that has troubled the old Yu family for many years has been greatly relieved after taking a few doses of her medicine. But the consultation fee is fifty cents. Wow, it's not cheap."

Another person echoed, "It's indeed not cheap. For those of us with minor pains and ailments, it's enough to just go see Director Liu."

Su Yu sometimes takes the pulse and prescribes medicine for regular customers who come for follow-up visits, and sometimes new patients who suffer from long-term illnesses come to see him.

Despite the constant work at hand, compared to those crowded clinics, this place seems relatively quiet and not as busy as one might imagine.

She had hoped to meet some patients with skin diseases and take this opportunity to promote her carefully formulated beauty powder, which would not only help people beautify their skin, but also be a recognition of her medical skills.

However, the reality is that the number of patients coming for treatment is limited, and most of them are ordinary elderly people who show more signs of aging than the specific diseases she expects.

Su Yu was inevitably a little disappointed, but she was more determined to continue working hard so that more people would recognize her medical skills. For ordinary people, ensuring that the whole family is well fed and clothed every day is the whole focus of life. How could they have extra thoughts and money to pursue the seemingly luxurious beauty and skin care methods?

Su Yu secretly calculated that the precious beauty secret recipe in his hands should find the most suitable audience - just like Yueyue, girls who are in their prime but are overshadowed by skin problems, or those ladies and young ladies who come from wealthy families and do not need to worry about food and clothing.

As soon as this thought came to mind, a plan took shape.

A rich lady? Thinking about it carefully, Su Yu really had such a close friend - the wife of the Ning County Taiwei Mansion, and the respected old lady in the mansion.

Although there were only a handful of such friends, the Taiwei's wife had a wide range of social contacts, and her circle of friends consisted of daughters of officials and noble ladies. These people regarded their appearance as a treasure and were always generous with their appearance and spared no expense in maintaining it.

Thinking of this, Su Yu's eyes flashed with longing, as if he had foreseen those silver coins flying towards him.

It seems that it is time to expand the scale of production. Next time I go to the Taiwei Mansion for a follow-up visit to the old lady, I will bring a few beauty secret recipes with me so that the women in the mansion can also experience them.

With the golden signboard of "The Taiwei's Wife", how could her own secret recipe for beauty not sell well?

Su Yu's experience in Chuntang during this period made him deeply realize that, except for those rare and difficult to treat diseases, most patients still prefer to consult Director Liu.

It seems impossible to earn a high income here, so I have to find another way.

For example, today, only eleven patients were seen, and the total medical fees were only 550 coins. According to the convention, Su Yu asked Yuanfeng to exchange this money for equivalent medicinal materials.

Replenishing the inventory of medicinal materials is Su Yu’s current top priority. Only with adequate preparation can he ensure that he will be able to cope with emergencies like the one last night.

Looking at Yuanfeng packing the medicinal materials skillfully, compared to last time, he seemed more calm and confident when studying the prescription, without any unfamiliarity as when he first came into contact with it.

Su Yu joked, "How come you suddenly got the hang of it today? You can even understand my 'Heavenly Book'?"

Yuanfeng looked shy and quickly replied, "Director Su, you are too kind. I am not well-educated and have never seen the words in these prescriptions before. But I have studied each of your prescriptions diligently in the past few days. Now, no matter how flamboyantly you write, I can recognize them clearly."

Su Yu sincerely praised: "You are really smart, young man."

Yuanfeng's memory is truly amazing. He can remember a medicinal ingredient by heart after hearing about it only once. This talent is not something that ordinary people possess.

Hearing Su Yu's praise, Yuanfeng touched the back of his head embarrassedly.

The quantity of medicinal materials purchased was quite large, and it was difficult to pack them all at once. Su Yu also planned to purchase some other items, so he simply said goodbye to Director Liu and left.

She first purchased a batch of bottles and jars of various sizes and styles.

One cannot help but sigh that the ancients had reached the pinnacle of craftsmanship in making utensils. Those small and exquisite jars are so delicate that people can’t put them down.

Afterwards, Su Yu strolled around the market and bought two fine sieves, two sturdy medicine grinders, and some other medical equipment needed for daily life.
