Chapter 115: Chapter 115 As You Say

Su Yu’s instructions were succinct and forceful, yet they carried an unquestionable authority.

Yuan Feng was momentarily stunned, clearly not expecting to spring into action so quickly, but he soon snapped out of it and chuckled as he turned around and swiftly navigated the rows of medicine cabinets, skillfully picking out each herb.

His movements were quick and accurate, flowing smoothly like clouds and water, displaying his deep reverence and familiarity with these spirits of the plants.

Xie Qifen glanced at Su Yu, a curious light flickering in her eyes as she asked softly, “How come you’re sitting in consultation here with us?”

Her words carried a hint of surprise and joy.

Su Yu lightly tapped the antique consultation desk beside her, her tone as casual as if discussing the weather, “It’s nothing much, just felt like getting a feel of being a director and sitting in on consultations.”

Her tone might have been relaxed, but her gaze held an unmistakable firmness and longing.

Upon hearing this, an incredulous look appeared on Xie Qifen’s face, followed by generous praise, “You really are capable, Su Yu!” Her words were filled with sincere admiration.

Su Yu smiled wryly, a hint of melancholy fleeting across her face, “It’s a shame, though, that even with the willingness, no one wants a young female director to treat their ailments.”

No sooner had her words fallen than her gaze involuntarily drifted outside the window to the queue waiting for treatment, which under the sunlight seemed exceptionally striking and yet ironically telling.

By then, Yuan Feng had already swiftly and accurately prepared the medicine, his hands skillfully wrapping each herb at the counter, while inwardly he couldn’t help musing: With such complex and hard-to-remember names of herbs, how did Director Su manage to remember them all at a glance?

Seeing this, Su Yu secretly admired, thinking that although the lad seemed a bit slow at times, his memory for medicinal herbs was outstanding, as if he were born for the field of medicine.

When it came time to pay, Xie Qifen took out slightly over two shiny taels of silver. Though reluctant, she resolutely handed over the payment for the medicine, thinking of the needs of the sick person at home.

Those heavy silver taels, each crisp jingle, signified deep love and responsibility for her family.

At the moment of departure, Xie Qifen suddenly knelt before Su Yu, her abrupt action causing Su Yu’s heart to tighten as she quickly reached out to help her up, her expression a mix of astonishment and confusion.

Xie Qifen’s eyes were filled with gratitude, her voice loud and sincere, “Director Su, your medical skills are exceptional. Your treatment for my family member is like that of a second set of parents. I can’t repay this great kindness, I can only bow to express my feeling!”

Having said that, she bowed deeply, her emotion genuine and undeniable.

Surprise and bewilderment interwove on Su Yu’s face.

She knew well that her medical skills were the result of real talent and study; such a grand gesture not only made her feel undeserving but also risked inviting unnecessary speculation and criticism from others.

However, with the onlooking eyes around her, she hesitated, realizing that any explanation might backfire, complicating matters further.

So, Su Yu chose silence, internally calculating how she could maintain humility without causing any unwanted misunderstandings.

After much consideration, Su Yu finally decided to go along with Xie Qifen’s wishes, adopting an almost performative stance as she spoke gently yet firmly, “Sister, please get up quickly. As a doctor, saving the suffering is our duty—how can it be considered a favor?”

Her voice was definitive and yet gentle, like a breeze in spring that endears one to her cause.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and with grateful tears in her eyes, Xie Qifen turned to leave Su Yu, glancing back thrice with each step.

The slanting rays of sunlight outside the door cast a warm and sincere glow on Xie Qifen’s slightly bent figure.

The sight prompted the patients in the queue outside to start whispering among themselves with the buzz of conversation rising and falling.

“Hey, did you see that? The elder sister personally came to express her gratitude. It seems Director Su’s skills are truly not to be taken lightly,”

one person marveled, eyes filled with admiration for Su Yu.

“Indeed, I noticed just now that the medicine purchased by the woman amounted to only several taels of silver, yet it had such a significant therapeutic effect. There must be some trick to it,”

another person agreed, their speech full of curiosity and inquiry.

“Why don’t we give it a try at Director Su’s place too? It’s certainly better than just waiting around here,”

a youthful voice suggested, tinged with a hint of urgency.

“But do you know? She charges fifty wen just for a diagnosis, not including the medicine. In this way, the expense is more than double that of Director Liu’s,”

someone immediately reminded, their words revealing a trace of hesitation.

This remark dropped like a stone into a calm lake, rippling through the crowd and amplifying the sounds of discussion.

At that moment, a composed voice interjected, “But have you ever considered why, in the same circumstances, she dares to charge such a high fee for diagnosis? Moreover, this is Director Liu’s turf, and he is renowned for his fairness and impartiality. How could he allow someone to arbitrarily raise their prices? I believe that the female director must have something exceptional about her medical skills,”

His analysis was clear and convincing.

“Now that you put it that way, it does make some sense,”

“That’s true, upon reflection, it is as you say,”

The attitude among the crowd began to shift gradually.

“Let’s go, I want to see for myself who this remarkable person is,”

one person stepped forward, taking the lead, and the others quickly echoed, immediately enlivening the atmosphere.

Watching the gathering crowd, Su Yu’s heart was filled with mixed emotions, her bitter smile tinged with a touch of helplessness.

The seemingly rough and direct method used by Sister-in-law He was indeed effective, making her medical hall instantly bustling with activity.

As the number of patients continued to grow, Su Yu became worried about Xixi, who was left alone in the medical hall, and she softly instructed, “Dear child, just play inside the medical hall, and you mustn’t run out to the street, okay?”

Xixi nodded her head obediently, playing within sight of Su Yu until she met another child of her age who was also a patient. The two of them soon squatted in a corner of the medical hall, absorbed in watching the busy ants, completely engrossed in the innocent charm of childhood.

With the rising number of patients, Su Yu quickly immersed herself in the intense and orderly treatment process.

Her movements were fluid, each examination, every session of acupuncture, and the prescriptions she wrote displayed her professionalism and precision.

These skills were a result of her following her master for over a decade in her previous life, learning and practicing.

In her memories, her master was a highly skilled national doctor, renowned throughout the land, who devoted his entire life to the field of medicine, finding true love only in his later years, eventually stepping into matrimony together.

Her master’s wife was also a highly respected figure in the medical community. Due to their dedication to saving lives and caring for the world, busy all year round, they chose to remain childless.
