Chapter 265 - 265 I want to see her
265 I want to see her
Xie Yunjin’s heart thumped up and down and it went from cold to hot.
If Lu Jiao successfully operated on his legs, that meant she gave him a second chance at life.
At the moment, he felt like even if he broke every bone in his body for her, it still wouldn’t be enough to repay what she’s done for him.
Lu Jiao operated on him to save his life yet she’s said nothing to him.
Xie Yunjin’s heart cooled back down.
His handsome face turned into blotches of green and white. Hu Shan had no idea what was going on and he didn’t dare to speak.
Xie Yunjin took a second to calm down then said to Hu Shan, “If you truly want to thank my wife for saving the lives of your wife and son, you should stay away from us.”
There is little common ground for people with vastly different principles. Hu Shan’s friends were not good people and he didn’t even know to be scared of them. This might cause Xie Yunjin trouble.
It was Hu Shan’s turn to become green in the face. In the end, he gritted his teeth and left, “You think I want to be close to you?!”
Soon after he left, classmate Han walked in.
When he saw the look on Xie Yunjin’s face, he became worried.
“Yunjin, what happened? Are you sick?”
Xie Yunjin suddenly grabbed classmate Han’s hand, “Classmate Han, do you know who healed my legs?”
Classmate Han raised an eyebrow, “Wasn’t it Dr. Qi?”
Xie Yunjin shook his head, “No. It was Lu Jiao. She operated on my legs.”
“Huh?!” Classmate Han opened his mouth wide. Lu Jiao performed surgery?
He was very aware of how complicated that surgery was. Before, the Dr. Shi he invited complimented the surgeon profusely and claimed that even medical doctors could not do such a stellar job.
Yet Xie Yunjin was telling him that it was Lady Lu who did the surgery?
Classmate Han felt lost and blankly asked, “Maybe you are mistaken?”
Xie Yunjin shook his head. He’s never thought deeply about it before and now that he has, he realized how great of a doctor Lu Jiao was. She may not be a pioneer in the field, but she was still very capable. There was no other reason why Baohe Tang would do so much to retain her. Not only did they offer her ownership, they even agreed to all her strange rules. Such as how she was going to charge some people 5,000 taels of silver and others 500.
She was able to be unreasonable because she was so capable. Since Baohe Tang wanted to keep her, they had to do what she said.
“It was her. She’s a great doctor. Have you forgotten about how she pulled a barbed arrow out of someone in the middle of the night? Also, Hu Shan’s wife suffered from dystocia and Lu Jiao had to operate on her to save her life.”
The more Xie Yunjin retold those stories, the more certain he was that Lu Jiao was the one who healed him.
“You know, she once saved someone who jumped into the river and stopped breathing. She dewormed all the children in the village. You know, there was actually a worm inside one of the children’s stomachs? My master once almost died and she saved him.”
The more Xie Yunjin talked, the more classmate Han’s heart pounded.
How miraculous. How was Lady Lu so knowledgeable?
“She’s a miracle doctor. Yunjin, if your wife is so capable, she’ll be able to help us if we ever get sick. You should be happy.”
Xie Yunjin asked, “But how come she didn’t tell me that she was the one who operated?”
Classmate Han knew why this bothered Xie Yunjin.
“She probably didn’t think you would believe she’s capable so she didn’t tell you.”
Xie Yunjin jolted at the remainder. He was right. At the time, he wouldn’t have agreed if Lu Jiao suggested doing surgery herself.
She was afraid he wouldn’t agree, she used Dr. Qi as a facade. No matter what her mentality was at the time, all he cared about right now was that she cured his legs.
Xie Yunjin shot up and wanted to get out. Classmate Han asked quickly, “Where are you going?”
“To find her.”
He wanted to see her this very second.
Classmate Han didn’t stop him.
Along with Lin Dong, Xie Yunjin headed to Baohe Tang, which was two streets away.
There, including Lu Jiao, were four doctors.
Zhao Lingfeng introduced Lu Jiao to the other two doctors, “Master Lu is going to be our lead doctor.”
Other than Qi Lei, the other two doctors were unhappy about the decision. How could someone so young and inexperienced become the lead? How’s that justified?
Qi Lei excitedly shouted, “He should be! My master deserves this!”
The two doctors stared in shock. That young boy was Dr. Qi’s master? Was that true?
“Dr. Qi, this is your master?”
Qi Lei nodded, “Naturally. My master is an amazing doctor. Today, he’ll show you how this universe has no limit.”
Lu Jiao was speechless. Beside her, Zhao Lingfeng said, “Okay, are you guys ready? We are going to open now.”
The space here was a lot bigger than what Baohe Tang had back in Qili. There were four large connected shops up front, two rows of rooms on each side, and a small building out in the back. The size of this was way bigger than before.
This space was originally passed down from generation to generation. However, the younger generation of doctors was not good enough and therefore faced bankruptcy. Zhao Lingfeng offered a lot of money for this and rebranded it to Baohe Tang.
Other than manager Li, there were four doctors and five general workers. When everyone heard owner Zhao, they announced in unison, “We’re ready.”
Zhao Lingfeng had spread the word that Baohe Tang was opening today and offered free consultation. The doctors were going to consult patients for free and write them prescriptions. Therefore, before the shop even opened, long lines had formed.
Zhao Lingfeng asked the workers to open the door and set off firecrackers.
Quickly, the loud noises of firecrackers surrounded the area. Manager Li regulated the lines outside and each worker went to their post.
As the lead doctor, Lu Jiao wasn’t going to see patients with common symptoms. She was the freest out of everyone here.
Just then, a fat man walked in. The moment he walked in, a gross smelly scent spread through the shop. Lu Jiao observed and noticed the smell was coming from the man’s feet.
Many people started to mumble, “Is that businessman Liu? He’s here for his feet again? I heard he went to many places and none managed to treat him.”
“Baohe Tang needs to be careful. I heard that guy smashed up many stores.”
“Really?”
“Let’s watch.”
Manager Li personally greeted this businessman named Liu Fu and led him to Lu Jiao.
Lu Fu studied Lu Jiao for a long while before he confirmed, “This is the capable doctor you are referring me to?”
Manager Li nodded, “That’s right. He’s a great doctor and will be able to help you.”
Manager Li peeked at Lu Jiao, who nodded at him. Manager Li sighed in relief.
Liu Fu didn’t believe Lu Jiao could cure him. He came today so that Zhao Lingfeng would owe him a favor. That man was the third young master from the official residence of the marquees of Yongning. He had to show his support.
“Okay, then help me take a look.”
Lu Jiao didn’t even need to see to know this man had Tinea Pedis.
However, she didn’t know what type he had.
There are several types of Tinea Pedis, vesicular Tinea Pedis, erosive Tinea Pedis, scaly Tinea Pedis, and keratotic Tinea Pedis.
