I transmigrated to the 1970s and became the female lead's vicious stepsister.

Chapter 163 It's not that my fees are high, it's that what I seek is even more valuable.

"Does the little girl like these?"

"Then we won't pay for the treatment; we'll just accept the written agreement as payment."

The old men started joking with Su Lingwu.

"Of course, no problem! I'll have to ask my grandfathers for more then!"

When it comes to treating these leaders, money isn't the most important thing; a single word from them can solve many problems.

"That's all for later. Let's start the treatment first. Once you gentlemen are well, please feel free to give me a few words of advice. I will definitely keep them as a family heirloom and pass them down to my children."

"Haha, you silly girl, it's just a few words, I'll definitely satisfy you."

To them, it was just a few words written casually, but to her, it was a living advertisement.

Su Lingwu first took the pulse of the old man, and then, according to their respective physical conditions, took out silver needles and performed acupuncture on the old men.

The spiritual spring water in the space was guided into various acupoints through the silver needles; this was a method that Su Lingwu had been researching for a long time.

She had a sudden inspiration: since the spiritual spring water was so effective, if it could be incorporated into acupuncture treatment, it would greatly enhance the therapeutic effect.

At first, she couldn't control the amount of spiritual spring water, but after continuous training, she was able to stably control and output the spiritual spring water in the space.

The smiles on the faces of the old men suddenly turned into expressions of surprise.

The moment the silver needles were inserted, they could clearly feel the warmth in their bodies, which was different from the feeling of their previous treatments.

I thought this girl was talented in medicine making, and that her medicine making was already amazing enough, but I didn't expect her to be so good at acupuncture as well.

Even though they knew that Su Lingwu had inherited the Liu family's Thirteen Needles of the Governing Vessel, and were somewhat prepared, they were still stunned by Su Lingwu.

They discovered that Su Lingwu's acupuncture treatment was even more effective than that of the Liu family patriarch during his prime.

Acupuncture is not simply about inserting needles; the doctor's condition directly affects the treatment effect.

When you are tired or lack energy, it is easy to mislocate acupoints. If the acupoint is slightly off, the stimulation effect will be reduced.

Twisting, lifting, and tonifying/reducing techniques rely on the strength, speed, and range of motion of the fingers and wrists. When a doctor is energetic, the technique is even and gentle, and the sensation of Qi is just right. When a doctor is tired, the fingers will feel heavy, the technique will become rough, either the stimulation is too weak to be effective, or the force is too strong, causing strong pain and local bruising.

Traditional acupuncture places great importance on the practitioner's spirit, emphasizing mental focus. It is believed that if the practitioner's mind is scattered, the effectiveness of acupuncture will be diminished.

But people age, and their bodies cannot remain in the same state as when they were young.

This means that once a doctor's prime is over, his judgment remains, but his skill level is no longer at its peak.

Therefore, many senior doctors basically stop acupuncture in their later years and switch to moxibustion and prescription drugs.

You can tell whether acupuncture is good or not as soon as you start practicing.

You have to understand how old Su Lingwu is. She's only twenty after the New Year, yet her medical skills are already so good.

"Old Fu, I'm so jealous of you! Such a wonderful treasure, and your grandson has taken it home."

Grandpa Fu felt a little smug when he heard the envious and jealous looks on the faces of the other old folks.

"My grandson has always had very high standards!"

"Haha, just kidding. It's all because the two children are destined to be together. As the old saying goes, 'Those who are destined to meet will meet even if they are thousands of miles apart.' This is all a blessing from heaven."

Which family wouldn't want such a capable granddaughter-in-law?

The key is that not only is he capable, but he is also outstanding in appearance. Now he has given the Fu family three great-grandchildren. Who wouldn't be envious and jealous?

She gave birth to three in one go. Most people can manage three or four pregnancies in ten years, which is considered lucky, but Su Lingwu accomplished it all in one go.

Grandpa Fu was naturally very proud; nowadays, which of these old guys didn't envy him?

Every family has its share of troubles. Some children and grandchildren are disappointing, some have wives who drag the family down, and some have no children. Everyone has their own worries.

He's different. His son and grandson are both capable, his daughter-in-law has a good personality, and his granddaughter-in-law is skilled in medicine and gave birth to triplets for the Fu family.

"Girl, I heard you donated a prescription to the army and provided medical treatment in the family compound, making it an affordable treatment option for everyone. You're a kind and good girl."

"Grandpa Ji, although I don't know much, I do know that people should be grateful. The army trusts me, gives me a high salary, arranges a job for me in the hospital, and solves all kinds of difficulties for me. Naturally, I should repay the organization, serve the people, contribute to the collective, and never forget my roots."

"If my skills can be used to serve everyone, then it has value. Not everyone can afford to see a doctor. Many people, because they can't bear to spend a dollar or two, end up making their health worse. Traditional Chinese medicine can have cheaper methods, and it might only cost two cents to cure them, so people are willing to come to me."

"Yes, you're a really good girl. The Lin family boy said that the families in their military compound are more willing to go to the hospital for treatment because of you."

They had naturally investigated Su Lingwu's affairs in the family compound thoroughly. How could they possibly bring her back to the capital for medical treatment without investigating?

"Oh, girl, I heard that the medicine you have is ridiculously expensive, something ordinary people can't afford. Didn't you treat a couple for infertility? They spent four hundred and eighty yuan on it!"

"The medicine Old Fu gave us costs eight hundred yuan per pill. How do you explain that?"

Grandpa Bi smiled as he looked at Su Lingwu, eager to know how she would handle the situation.

Su Lingwu didn't answer directly, but instead asked Grandpa Bi, "Grandpa Bi, do you think my medicine is worth eight hundred?"

Grandpa Bi raised an eyebrow but remained silent, because he knew in his heart that the medicine was indeed extraordinary. One pill could improve one's physical condition, making one feel several years younger. How could it not be worth it?

Health cannot be bought with money. After taking that medicine, the group's health improved significantly. They slept better at night, had plenty of energy during the day, and even their gray hairs started to sprout new black hairs.

I believe that eating it regularly will definitely prolong life, no wonder it's called the Seven-Flavor Longevity Pill.

It was only in those times that this was possible; if it were in the past, it would be priceless.

So many powerful and wealthy people are lining up to buy it.

The old men exchanged glances and smiled to themselves. This girl is something else!

"Grandpa Bi, I'm just an ordinary person. I need to eat, live, support my family, and raise my children. These medicines didn't appear out of thin air. I worked hard day and night, failed again and again, and spent so much effort and money to develop them."

"You mentioned that couple before. They had been married for many years but had no children. They had taken a lot of medicine and spent a lot of money, but they still couldn't have a child. You can imagine how difficult it was. It's like planting bad seeds, mute seeds, and withered seeds, but expecting the land to bear fruit. It's not an easy task."

"To outsiders, 480 yuan might seem expensive, but it allowed them to have their own child. Which is more important, 480 yuan or a healthy child?"

"I don't think this is a question I should answer; it's a decision for those who want children. Whether or not they choose to receive treatment is their freedom. I never force anyone to spend money on treatment with me."

"It's not that I charge high prices, but rather that what people are seeking is more valuable, so more expensive medicinal herbs are needed to achieve the desired effect, which is not something I can decide."

"Many problems can be cured for a penny or two, but some problems may cost a thousand or two."

After Su Lingwu finished speaking, the old men were all speechless.

Yes, because what is sought is more precious—a healthy body, a child—neither of which is easy to achieve. These are not things that can be accomplished with ordinary medicinal herbs.

Su Lingwu was telling them that her pricing was fine.

Seeing the old men's serious expressions, Su Lingwu smiled and said, "Grandpa Bi, I can't always pay for people's medical treatment out of my own pocket. I can manage within my means, but I can't afford to go too far beyond that. If I did, I'd probably be begging for food before long!"

"Haha, you silly girl, Grandpa is too one-sided and short-sighted."

"No, that's not true. All of you grandfathers are good leaders who care about the people, which is why you are concerned about the people's access to medical care. This is not short-sightedness, but rather a deep concern for the people and a genuine understanding of their plight."

The old men exchanged smiles, thinking that the Fu family's granddaughter-in-law had a bright future ahead of her!
