The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it
Chapter 236 Humility
Director Liu is also highly respected. If this continues for a long time, it will inevitably cause displeasure among others.
After some thought, Su Yu gave a gentle suggestion: "I usually only see patients with difficult or serious illnesses. If you only have minor ailments, Director Liu is a good choice. His medical skills are also superb, and our treatment plans for common minor illnesses are almost the same. More importantly, his consultation fees are much more affordable than mine, so you really don't have to go out of your way to find me."
After hearing this, everyone felt that it made sense, exchanged glances with each other, and nodded.
Since Doctor Su was so frank and Director Liu's medical skills were widely praised, there was really no need to spend extra money on these minor headaches and fevers.
In this way, a group of people were moved by Su Yu's sincerity, lined up again, and turned their attention to Director Liu's consultation desk.
Before leaving, they did not forget to express their sincere gratitude to Su Yu, praising her for her kindness and consideration for others, which was completely different from the cold-blooded and money-making image rumored by the outside world.
However, just as the atmosphere was becoming more peaceful, a burly man walked into the clinic with steady steps and went straight to Su Yu's diagnosis table.
Su Yu looked up and felt that he had seen the other person's face somewhere before, but he couldn't remember the specific situation for a while.
Before Su Yu could ask, the man bowed respectfully and said sincerely, "Doctor Su, I am Wu Changding, the housekeeper of the county magistrate's mansion. I came here to give you an invitation."
"Invitation? What invitation?"
A hint of doubt flashed across Su Yu's eyes.
Upon hearing this, the man took out an exquisite invitation from his bosom and gently handed it forward, "Doctor Su, thanks to your help, Madam's life and the young master were saved. To express her gratitude, Madam sent me here to invite you to attend the young master's full moon banquet in ten days. I hope Doctor Su will be willing to honor you."
"Ten days later?"
Su Yu was quite surprised. Why did you send the invitation so far in advance? Wu Changding noticed Su Yu's confusion and smiled shyly, "A few days ago, my wife's maid came to get medicine but failed to see Doctor Su. She was afraid that she would miss the opportunity to invite you, so she asked me to come and ask every day. Today, I happened to hear the villagers talking about your miraculous medical skills, so I concluded that you had returned and hurried over."
Su Yu suddenly realized that the wife of the county magistrate obviously valued her future, otherwise she would not have gone to such great lengths to do so.
As to whether to go or not, that is really a difficult question.
Making friends with the wife of the county magistrate is naturally a great opportunity, but when attending celebrations of the rich and powerful, one must always prepare some decent gifts.
Although I have some savings now, I have many places to spend money. It would be inappropriate to go to the banquet empty-handed, but I can't give up overly expensive gifts.
If I don't go, how can I bear to let down someone's sincerity?
For a moment, all kinds of thoughts intertwined and collided in Su Yu's mind, and waves surged.
Wu Changding seemed to have noticed Su Yu's hesitation, and added at the right time: "The young master's full moon banquet is actually simple and plain, just like an ordinary family gathering. The purpose is to thank Doctor Su for giving me a new life. There is no need to be too rigid about etiquette. I hope Doctor Su will come."
Su Yu pondered over Wu Changding's words. If it was really as he said, without the red tape, perhaps there would be no need to worry too much about the issue of gifts?
Forget it, just do your best in everything. Worrying too much will only bring you trouble.
So Su Yu took the invitation and said to Wu Changding, "Please tell my wife that I will definitely attend."
Wu Changding was very happy to receive Su Yu's reply. Now that his mission was completed, he respectfully took his leave.
Su Yu held the exquisitely crafted invitation card in his hand, thinking about a suitable gift.
At this moment, there was a sudden burst of exclamations and discussions among the people waiting to see Director Liu.
"I heard that the county magistrate's wife was in critical condition during childbirth, and she was saved by the doctor from Huichun Hall."
"I always thought it was Director Liu who did it, but I didn't expect it was Doctor Su!"
"Eh? Doctor Su? But I saw with my own eyes that the servants of the Wu family hurriedly took Director Liu away!"
"You must have seen it wrong. The housekeeper came in person to invite people. How can he have a day off?"
The man who claimed to have seen Director Liu frowned and said to himself, "That's not right. Doctor Su and Director Liu not only look very different, but they are also different genders. How could I be confused?"
"Who knows? Maybe you're thinking about Director Liu so much that you're hallucinating."
A burst of playful laughter spread among the crowd.
The man who was being joked was embarrassed and waved his hands, saying, "Go away, go away. Why would a man like me miss him? Don't make trouble. Everyone in Qingshui Town knows that Director Liu's wife is a jealous person. If this gets to her ears, I, as a man, will be in trouble."
This made everyone laugh even harder.
At this time, an anxious woman came up to Su Yu and said urgently, "Doctor Su, please take a look. I have had this headache for several years and have never been able to get rid of it. Since you are a famous doctor, you must have a way."
When she said this, the people around her seemed to be inspired with hope again, and they rushed to gather around her, fearing that they would miss the treatment of this legendary doctor.
Seeing this, Su Yu had to patiently explain: "I did go to the county magistrate's mansion with Director Liu to deliver the baby that day, but due to custom, men were not allowed to enter, so all the honors fell on my head."
In fact, this is the result of our tacit understanding and joint efforts.
Su Yu's words were so powerful that almost everyone was convinced by her words.
However, the door opened slightly, and a crisp sound interrupted the atmosphere in the room: "That's wrong."
This sudden interruption came from Zhang Yufei.
Everyone's eyes turned to the door. Su Yu's eyes flashed with confusion and embarrassment at Zhang Yufei's attempt to sabotage them.
I thought to myself: Brother, don’t you understand that I am speaking for you?
Zhang Yufei walked into the room, looked at everyone with a determined gaze, and slowly said, "To be exact, I did go to the county magistrate's mansion that day."
Hearing this, the man who had insisted that he had witnessed it before immediately responded with a bit of pride in his tone: "Look, how could I be wrong?"
The others remained silent, wondering how the story would turn out next.
Zhang Yufei continued calmly, "At that time, the county magistrate's wife had problems with her delivery. The fetus was in an abnormal position and in critical condition. The experienced midwife and I were at a loss, so we had to urgently ask the government to invite Doctor Su. Thanks to Doctor Su's timely arrival and his superb medical skills, the county magistrate's wife was able to give birth to the baby safely."
When Su Yu heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Although what he said was true, his honesty was somewhat surprising.
After revealing the truth, Zhang Yufei did not stop and said to everyone: "In terms of medical skills, Doctor Su is better than me, I am ashamed to say that I am not as good as him.
