Jinyi Spring

Chapter 27 Bargaining
Mr. Ding gave Feng Chuchen five hundred coins.

If you ask a regular doctor to treat the hemorrhage, you will have to pay him 500 coins if he fails to save the patient, and 200 to 500 taels of silver if he does.

But Miss Feng is at most a traveling doctor and is not worth that much money.

Aunt Wang's face darkened. "If it weren't for my daughter, your daughter-in-law would have died. Her life is only worth three hundred coins?"

Old Man Ding argued, "I clearly gave you 500 coins, how come it became 300 coins?"

Aunt Wang raised her voice and said, "A bowl of hemostatic powder from my daughter is worth two hundred coins. I said three hundred coins. My daughter was brought up by my eldest sister. She can even perform Yin Shen needles. She saved a life, and you want to send her away with only three hundred coins. You are dreaming."

Aunt Xin also said, "I have been helping people deliver babies for more than ten years, and I have never seen a woman in such a dangerous condition being saved, unless it was the female doctor Zhou from the palace who came to treat her. I didn't expect that Miss Feng is so capable at such a young age."

In terms of price, peers definitely help each other.

What's more, she truly admired Feng Chuchen.

Aunt Wang snorted coldly, "Doctor Zhou? Her family can't even afford to hire her for a hundred taels of silver. She specializes in treating nobles. Let alone Doctor Zhou, even if a doctor came to your house to prescribe medicine, you can't just give him three hundred coins, right?

"My daughter saved your daughter-in-law's life. She gave her acupuncture for more than an hour. Ten taels of silver is not too much for your family."

Ding Youcheng walked in and said, "Dad, Miss Feng saved my wife. Now the mother and child are safe. We should thank her and not deduct her medical fee."

Old Man Ding was still unwilling, "She is a traveling doctor, three hundred coins is not a small amount."

Aunt Wang's eyes bulged, and she put her hands on her hips and said, "If you want to do this, let's ask the neighbors to come over tomorrow to judge the case. Otherwise, we can go to the government office and ask the officials to make a judgment. I can't let my eldest sister be cheated to death and my daughter continue to be cheated."

Ding Youcheng knelt down and begged, "Dad, it's because of Miss Feng's actions that our family's wedding turned into a funeral. We can't take advantage like Li Doufu did. Now many people are poking at his family's spine.

"Besides, if my sister-in-law and my wife encounter something like this again in the future, we will ask them to come to our house."

Old Man Ding thought about it and agreed that he couldn’t offend a midwife with good skills.

All he could say was, "Add another tael of silver."

Aunt Wang pursed her lips and looked at him coldly.

Old Man Ding gritted his teeth and said, "Three taels of silver, no more."

Seeing that Aunt Wang was still not satisfied, Aunt Ding said, "Give Miss Feng two pounds of brown sugar and a piece of cloth. The day after tomorrow, please ask my sister to be the midwife for my fat granddaughter. Sister, my family is not rich anymore, and we can't give more."

Aunt Wang looked at Feng Chuchen, and Feng Chuchen nodded.

Old Man Ding went into the bedroom and took out three taels of silver, counted out two hundred coins, and handed them to Feng Chuchen very generously.

Feng Chuchen didn't take it, indicating that Aunt Wang should take it.

Feng Chuchen was not happy either. If Old Man Ding had given her one or two taels of silver at first, she would have accepted it, after all, she was not well-known. But she had been busy for so long and saved a dying person, and he wanted to get rid of her with only three hundred coins.

It's too bullying.

Although the family was not very wealthy, they still had some spare money.

She looked gloomy and said nothing, leaving the bickering to the fierce Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang said disdainfully, "You are so lucky. My daughter is not famous yet. There will be no such good thing in the future." She added, "My home is far away, let Sister Xin be the midwife."

For a family like this, it would be great if they could get a few dozen coins for a new basin. It was only enough to hire a donkey cart, which was really boring.

Aunt Xin lived not far away and happily accepted the invitation.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Ding family cooked three bowls of vegetarian noodles and brought them in.

After the three of them finished eating, Aunt Xin went home.

It was already the end of the hour of Hai, and Feng Chuchen and Aunt Wang wanted to stay at Ding's house for a night.

Feng Chuchen was sweating all over and really wanted to take a shower and wash his hair, but he had to wipe it with a wet towel.

She was well protected and there were only a few blood stains on her clothes.

Aunt Wang's face and clothes were extremely dirty, with not only blood and amniotic fluid, but also feces and urine.

She said, "When I get home, I will make a set of clothes and masks like the girls."

The two of them rested in the west room of the upper house. Feng Chuchen slept on a small couch, and Aunt Wang slept on the floor.

Aunt Wang was exhausted and started snoring as soon as her pillow fell. Feng Chuchen couldn't sleep and was a little excited.

She saved a life today and opened a business.

Although Aunt Wang made a fuss for a long time over three taels of silver, her situation was much better than that of my eldest aunt, who only earned ten cents for her first delivery.

Think about the time-traveling woman who farmed and did business in the online novels of the previous life. She could bid whatever price she wanted. But to save lives, no matter how skilled you are in medicine, you dare not bid too much. Medical ethics comes first.

A hero never brags about his past achievements. Although she was an associate chief physician in her previous life and more popular than a chief physician, people who made appointments with her online had to wait in line.

In modern Chinese medicine hospitals, medicine prescriptions and acupuncture are separate. If anyone wants her to perform acupuncture and massage personally, they have to go to my grandfather's clinic and fight for a place to get in.

The ancients said that one is acupuncture, two is moxibustion, and three is medicine. Unfortunately, modern people have it reversed...

The next morning, Feng Chuchen and Aunt Wang went to see Mrs. Wu and the child, and they were both fine.

Feng Chuchen gave Wu another injection, which made the Ding family very happy.

The two finished their breakfast and said goodbye.

I bought a small bag of pine nut candy for Feng Buji on the street and then hired a donkey cart to return to Baima Village.

When we arrived at the entrance of the village, we saw Shaoyao and Feng Buji sitting at the door, looking anxiously in the distance.

Feng Buji also saw his sister and came over with a smile.

"Sister, aunt."

The voice was much louder than before and the eyes were sparkling.

Aunt Wang stopped her and said, "Stay away."

The little guy stood up and looked at his sister.

Feng Chuchen smiled and said, "Sister made money."

Feng Buji was so proud that he jumped up and down arrogantly.

He knew his sister was capable, "Has my sister entered the delivery room?"

Feng Chuchen said perfunctorily, "No, I'm dirty, don't come over."

She was bathing in the kitchen, and Banxia was helping her wash her hair. Aunt Wang was bathing in the firewood room, and Shaoyao was helping her wash her hair.

Feng Buji stood under the tree waiting for his sister.

As soon as her sister came out, she threw herself into her arms.

After Feng Chuchen finished acupuncture on Feng Buji, Aunt Wang came to hand over three hundred and sixty coins.

Feng Chuchen took it with a smile, put it into the public money box together with the money she earned, and kept a record of it.

In the evening, two large plates of fried leeks and eggs were made, and everyone could eat eggs to their heart's content.

After the others rested, Feng Chuchen took out his diary and wrote:
On the seventh day of the eighth month in the nineteenth year of Jianzhang, the window was filled with autumn colors and the golden osmanthus began to bloom.

Yesterday, I went to Ding's house with Aunt Wang to deliver a baby. The scene was shocking, uncomfortable, and heartbreaking. I used the uterine contraction injection to save the parturient Wu...

He also wrote a few words about his medical experience.

She put down her pen.

It’s frustrating that I can’t write down what’s really on my mind when I write a diary.

On the tenth day, a family in Bei'anfang in the capital city came to ask Wang Wenpo to deliver a baby. The woman in labor had just started.

If it wasn't for the difficult delivery, Feng Chuchen wouldn't have needed to go, and Aunt Wang would have taken Banxia with her.

The next morning, the woman successfully gave birth to a boy.

After breakfast, Aunt Wang and her partner went to Dechun Hall to complete the task assigned by Feng Buji.

　Thank you Menghui Moganshan for the reward, and thank you everyone for the monthly tickets and various supports.
