Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 257 The Bride Dedicated to the Mountain God (47)

After settling down, Wen Rushi began to devote himself to his career without stopping.

According to her original plan, she was going to set up a simple stall on a relatively busy street to provide medical treatment and consultation for ordinary people who could not afford to go to a big clinic.

As for the medical fee, it depends on the situation. If you have extra money, you can give more, and if you are short of money, you can give less.

She didn't do these things for the money, as long as she could have food to eat.

But this ideal is very hopeless, while the reality is very skinny. After setting up the stall for several days, no one was interested.

Every day Jiang Qiuchen and Wen Rushi would hold up their hands, support their chins, and stare blankly at the people coming and going.

Wen Rushi's initial enthusiasm was largely extinguished, and he even began to doubt himself.

Just when she was feeling depressed, Jiang Qiuchen, who was sitting next to her, suddenly spoke in a serious tone.

"We can't go on like this, it's time to make some changes!"

Wen Rushi was a little at a loss and asked blankly.

"Change? What change?"

Jiang Qiuchen looked around at the busy people and analyzed seriously.

"We have been here for several days in a row, but we have not come into contact with a single patient. This is undoubtedly a sign of failure."

"Since we already know this method doesn't work, we have to change the measures in time and find another way out."

"Otherwise, it will be a waste of effort to wait in such a boring way and achieve nothing."

Wen Rushi naturally knew this, but she didn't know how to change it.

She originally thought that since her consultation fee was low and her clinic was located in a busy place, there should be some people coming up to ask questions.

But apart from a few curious people who came up to take a look when they first arrived, no one else cared about them.

The market in Lingzhou City is huge, with countless merchants coming and going from the north and south, and the variety of goods is so great that it's dizzying.

Compared with the colorful stalls around it, this small medical consultation stall looks much simpler.

Apart from a sign for medical consultation next to it, there was also a table and the necessary writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, and nothing else.

If someone passes by here and just takes a few casual glances, it will be difficult to find it for a while.

Wen Rushi looked at others', then looked at his own, and sighed helplessly.

She thought Jiang Qiuchen was planning to decorate their stall to make the sign more eye-catching.

I thought this method was not appropriate, as buying too many things would result in a lot of unnecessary expenses.

"We are a stall that treats patients, not a stall that sells goods. We are different from others."

"To run a business, you have to spend a lot of effort to greet customers and attract them. Even the big shops have special waiters standing outside the store to attract customers."

"For a stall like ours, what else can we do except wait here?" "We can't just go around looking for patients and ask them to come to us for treatment, right? If we do that, we'll probably be chased away and scolded for bringing bad luck."

"So you should calm down and wait patiently."

Hearing this, Jiang Qiuchen shook his head disapprovingly, and spoke seriously in the other party's puzzled eyes.

"No, we can't wait any longer. Time is money, time is life. Wasting time is equal to wasting life."

Somehow, Jiang Qiuchen's mind unconsciously flashed back to the words that his homeroom teacher had told him every day during his high school years, and he spoke them out loud.

"In fact, we can't just sit there and wait for the patient to come. We should go out and find the patient!"

"Since patients don't come to us, then we will go to find patients. The process is not important, the result of curing the disease is more important."

Wen Rushi was almost confused by Jiang Qiuchen. She had just said that this approach would cause criticism and might even lead to people chasing after her who would mind it, and Jiang Qiuchen brought it up right after.

"How do I find the patients? Do I have to carry my medicine box and go door to door to ask?"

"Ordinary people are most afraid of birth, old age, sickness and death. If you go to someone's house to ask if there are any patients, you'll be scolded at best. If you meet someone with a bad temper, they might even hit you!"

When Wen Rushi thought of the two of them being chased and beaten by a burly man, he couldn't help but shiver. It was really too bad.

"Of course, we can't go door to door in the city to find patients. The streets in the city are densely packed, and there are countless families hiding in every alley. Doing so would be time-consuming, laborious and thankless."

"What I want to say is that we should not just limit our focus to Lingzhou City. Perhaps we can leave the city and go to surrounding villages and towns, as well as some more remote places to look for patients."

This was a direction that Wen Rushi had never thought of before. The helplessness on her face lessened a little, her back straightened a little, and she signaled with her eyes that Jiang Qiuchen should continue.

"Look, Lingzhou City is an urban area. There is no farmland in the city. Those who can stay in the city basically rely on various businesses and working for others for their income."

"If there were no natural disasters or man-made calamities, and if the city was well managed and taxed, the people in this city would not have a bad life."

"In terms of poverty, those who live far away from urban areas and depend on the weather for their livelihood are naturally poorer."

"Your original idea was to help the poor people so that they wouldn't have to suffer from illness. So, isn't it consistent with your original intention to help the people outside the city?"

Wen Rushi nodded in approval. Ever since she started studying medicine, she has always insisted on saving good people and the poor, so naturally she would not make any unnecessary demands on her patients.

"Why are we unsuccessful? I think a very important reason is that you are not famous enough!"

“If there is a miracle doctor who is famous all over the world, even if he lives in the deep mountains and forests, there will be many people looking for him.”

"On the contrary, if you don't have a reputation, even in the largest clinic, you will be less trusted than other doctors."

Speaking of this, Wen Rushi was extremely melancholy. For an ordinary medical student, if he didn't have a family teacher to support him, how difficult would it be to make a name for himself? Not to mention being famous all over the world.

If her past identity were used as a gimmick, it would surely attract a large number of people in no time.

But that identity and that experience were nothing more than a heavy shackle to her. Now that she had left that place, she naturally did not want to be bound by it again.

Some things, since they have passed, should be completely forgotten.

Not wanting to think about it or face it is both an escape and a self-protection.
