Chapter 41: It Wasn't Effortless
Seeing this, Su Li understood everything. Sun Yuangui did not take her words to heart at all.
“I’ve seen your symptoms. It’s not very serious at the moment, but I don’t know how long this situation can last. If your cerebral vessels directly rupture, even the gods won’t be able to save you.”
According to the current medical abilities, if he wanted to perform a craniotomy, the success rate was 20%, and it did not exclude postoperative infections.
“Then, then what should we do?” Sun Yuangui had yet to panic, but Sun Ming, who was beside him, was panicking.
He did not expect his old master’s illness to be so serious. If he was not careful, he might even die. He had yet to get married and have children. If Old Master was no longer around, who would give him his monthly money in the future?
Sun Ming had a melancholic look on his face. He was worried that Sun Yuangui’s life would be in danger. He was worried that he would not be able to receive his monthly salary in the future!
Sun Yuangui gave him a knock on the head. “I won’t die so easily. Take back your expression!”
Sun Ming scratched the back of his head and chuckled.
Sun Yuangui said, “Ms. Su, you must have a solution, right? Recently, I feel that my symptoms are getting worse. Other doctors are helpless at it.”
Su Li said awkwardly, “It’s not that I don’t have a way, but I don’t have silver needles, so I can’t help you.”
Sun Yuangui immediately replied, “That’s simple. Tell me what you want. I’ll get someone to prepare it for you.”
Not to mention silver needles, even if it was gold, he would have to offer it with both hands. This was his life-saving straw. If he did not hurry up, he might die!
“My treatment is very expensive!” Su Li said again.
Sun Yuangui said without thinking, “As long as you can cure me, I’ll agree to any amount of money.”
“Cough cough…” Sun Ming coughed.
His master really dared to say that. What if Su Li asked for a sky-high price? Would he really agree to her request?
Su Li said, “Your consultation fee is five taels of silver and a set of silver needles.”
She had wanted silver needles for a long time. As a doctor, how could she not have her own set of tools?
However, silver needles were really too expensive. At the moment, she did not have the spare money to buy them. Now that there was a stupid person who came knocking on her door, how could she not rip him off?
Sun Yuangui nodded. Then, he took out five taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Su Li. “Alright, here’s five taels. Keep it first. I’ll prepare the silver needles when we get back.”
He had kept the silver with him before he left to express his sincerity.
Su Li calmly put the silver into her pocket. With this sum of money, the family could buy some more things. She had yet to deal with the roof leak last time. She had to deal with it quickly while the weather was good. Otherwise, it would be troublesome the next time it rained.
Chen Xiang watched as Su Li put the silver into her pocket. Her eyes instantly widened. Wasn’t this silver too easy to earn?
In just a few words, she had already earned five taels. If there was business every day, wouldn’t Su Li be rich?!
Su Li said, “Go back and prepare the silver needles first. I’ll go to town to deliver the goods in two days and do acupuncture for you.”
“I’ll send someone to pick you up,” Sun Yuangui quickly said.
As long as Su Li could treat his illness, he could even invite her personally, let alone send someone to pick her up.
Su Li happily accepted it. “That’s great.”
If someone came to pick her up, she could save some money on the fare. Moreover, there were more goods this time. Last time, Old Zhao had already made it clear that if she still had so many things, he would have to charge more next time.
Sun Yuangui bade farewell. “Then we won’t disturb you anymore.”
After sending Sun Yuangui off, Chen Xiang looked at Su Li with admiration.
“Sister, you’re too amazing. You can even treat patients and earn money.”
Su Li waved her hand and said, “It’s nothing. I’ll give you your salary in two days.”
After she went to the Exquisite Pavilion to settle the bill, she would give the salary to Chen Xiang. She did not intend to touch this sum of money.
Chen Xiang hurriedly expressed, “We agreed purely that I would just be helping. How can I take salary from you!”
Su Li charged five taels of silver every time she treated someone. Last time, she had even treated her illness. That would definitely cost a lot of money. Moreover, Su Li had given her a lot of meat. She didn’t even know how to return those things!
Su Li didn’t know what Chen Xiang was thinking. Even if she knew, she wouldn’t change her mind. She usually wouldn’t change her mind on things she has decided on.
After confirming that the brothers were asleep, Su Li flashed into the interspace.
She took the white mark leaves that she had picked during the day to exchange tor the second-level shop. The second-level shop opened and there were purple kale seeds inside.
Purple kale was a good thing. She had been worried about not having seeds to farm, but she did not expect the problem to be solved so quickly.
There was no purple kale in this world yet. If she could plant it, she would definitely be able to earn another sum of money. At the thought of earning money, Su Li’s heart started to feel happy.
She first planted some purple kale on the black soil. She realized that the black soil in the space was not only of good quality, but it also grew much faster than the crops outside.
Su Li felt that the spring water seemed to be flowing more than before. It was a waste not to finish drinking so much spring water. She might as well use it.
Hence, Su Li brought in a basin. She planned to soak in the spring water.
“How comfortable!” Su Li couldn’t help but sigh as she soaked in the basin.
After flashing out of the interspace, He Qingyao and his brother were still sleeping soundly. Su Li could not help but pinch their faces.
He Qingyao scratched his face and opened his eyes in a daze. He called out in a childish voice, “Mother!”
Hearing this, He Qingyao obediently closed his eyes.
Su Li was almost melted by his cuteness. It felt good to pick up two sons for free!
The next day.
Su Li woke up early. She was going up the mountain to pick herbs today.
Sun Yuangui needed to use Gynostemma, and Gynostemma had many effects. As long as she made a name for herself, she would be able to earn another sum of money.
After settling the two little guys down, Su Li carried her basket and went out.
Their harvest on the mountain was not bad. Su Li picked a basket of Gynostemma and a lot of wild fruits. These could all be snacks for the two children.
“Isn’t this the tea tree mushroom?” Su Li discovered the tea tree mushroom in surprise.
Stewed chicken with tea tree mushrooms?
At the thought of this, Su Li couldn’t help but swallow her saliva. She was a carnivore. She would be famished if she didn’t eat meat for a meal!
Su Li plucked all the tea tree mushrooms and sighed in her heart. “If only there was a chicken!”
There were no chickens at home. She had not bought any chickens when she went out on the streets these few times. Now that she suddenly wanted to eat them, what should she do?
At this moment, there was a commotion in the grass. Su Li gripped the scythe in her hand tightly. Could it be that a ferocious beast had descended the mountain?
Before Su Li could react, a pheasant bumped into her basket.
The things in the basket were scattered all over the ground, and the pheasant became dizzy. Su Li was instantly amused.
She quickly went forward and caught the pheasant. Tonight, she would eat tea tree mushrooms stewed chicken.. She had searched high and low for it, but she had found it without any effort!
