Chapter 134: Chapter 133: Complaining Even When It’s Free

Oh, so not asking me for the water charge is generous, huh?

Old Madam Huang turned her face and scolded Qin Changlin so much he was left dumbfounded. He truly experienced what it meant for someone to turn their face faster than flipping a book.

It wasn’t like this just a moment ago!

Alright, his purpose for coming here was Gu Youyou after all. Otherwise, how could a small village afford a doctor from Jisheng Hall to make a house call? Since he had found out all there was to know about Gu Youyou, it didn’t really matter whether he charged those few coins or not.

Qin Changlin glanced at Gu Youyou and nodded, saying, "Alright, alright, the medicine was provided by you all, so consider the consultation fee as payment for that glass of tap water, farewell!"

Qin Changlin left in a huff, and Gu Youyou, with a forced smile, followed closely behind him.

Meanwhile, Old Madam Huang continued to mutter, "Really not going to take the money, huh? Could it be that he didn’t cure our Sanya properly? That wouldn’t be a doctor but an apprentice who hasn’t graduated!"

Her voice was not low, and both Gu Youyou and Qin Changlin heard it.

Outside the Gu Family’s gate, Qin Changlin indeed hadn’t gone far.

Gu Youyou sneered and walked up to him.

"On purpose?" Gu Youyou cut to the chase and asked directly.

Qin Changlin responded with a forced laugh, "Sister Youyou, what do you mean ’on purpose’? I really don’t understand!"

"You don’t understand? How did you happen to come to make a house call in a small village?"

"Isn’t it because they invited me? We run clinics to make a bit of money, don’t we? If there’s business knocking on the door, why wouldn’t I take it, right?"

Gu Youyou’s face turned cold, and she sneered, "So you’re saying it was a coincidence?"

"Hehe, it was just a coincidence!"

"Coincidence my ass." Gu Youyou couldn’t help but curse, "You didn’t even take a consultation fee, and you still have the nerve to talk about making money?"

Thinking of Old Madam Huang’s face and those last patronizing words after taking advantage of the situation, Qin Changlin’s expression immediately darkened.

Gu Youyou, on the other hand, burst out laughing.

She thought to herself: This is the typical loser mentality. Complain if you charge them, and if you don’t, they suspect the quality of the service!

She laughed and said, "Do you believe if Sanya’s face ends up scarred, the label of ’incompetent doctor’ will be stuck on you for good?"

Qin Changlin was startled and asked, "What do you mean?" As the words left his mouth, realization dawned on him.

Considering the attitude of this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, if the little girl ended up with a scar, they would likely make a fuss all the way to Jisheng Hall in the town.

That would spell trouble. After all, he had made a house call without permission, and he really hadn’t graduated yet!

Gu Youyou chuckled contemptuously, gave him a look that said he was on his own, and briskly walked toward the thatched hut to the north.

The location of that hut was quite unique. From below in Lotus Village, no matter which angle one looked from, the house on the hillside was almost invisible unless one looked very carefully. Yet, from the yard outside that house, the entire Lotus Village could be seen.

Jin Zijin had chosen such a location, surely with a lot of thought!

The doctor didn’t take a single penny and left, and while Old Madam Huang was uneasy, she was also secretly pleased.

Even though he was an apprentice, he was a doctor from Jisheng Hall. Using the services of a doctor from Jisheng Hall for free was something to brag about.

But this Sanya... she’s already five years old, a child who usually runs around haphazardly, how could she have fallen so terribly?

This season everyone is busy in the fields, and since there’s nothing much for Sanya to do, they all went out to work.

Old Madam Huang stayed behind, keeping Sanya company in the house. Sanya’s face was wrapped in cloth, fearing she might not see well and fall again.

Huang Xiangwen was busy in the kitchen preparing dinner for the whole family; today, it was her turn.
