Chapter 254: Living Better Than Everyone in the Village, Making Those People Envy and Jealous
Zhao Cui'e didn't come back until nearly an hour later.
As expected, she brought a middle-aged lesbian and a young girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old.
Zhao Cui'e introduced them.
The two are mother and daughter. The one who wants to see Xu Yu for skin care is the young girl. Her face is covered with acne and she looks very inferior.
In addition to Jiang Yi's aura, she kept her head down as soon as she came in.
Middle-aged lesbians are also afraid of Jiang Yi's aura, so they look a little timid.
Xu Yu saw it at a glance and subconsciously looked at Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi obviously noticed it, so he said to them, "I'm going to go out for a walk."
After saying that, he walked outside.
Xu Jianping hurriedly followed: "Jiang Yi, I'm with you."
The two men walked out quickly.
Xu Jianping, who was walking behind them, also helped them close the door.
Xu Yu then began to ask the young girl about her acne.
After the young girl finished speaking, Xu Yu did not make a conclusion immediately, but started thinking about how to help her with the treatment.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the middle-aged woman asked anxiously, "Comrade Xu, can the acne on my daughter Yinyin's face be cured?"
After asking this question, she also talked about Yinyin's situation: "My daughter Yinyin was originally planning to apply for a place in university this year, but she started getting acne on her face after the New Year. After seeing the doctor for several months without any improvement, she became unwilling to go to school and said she didn't want to go to university anymore."
At this point, her expression was both sad and helpless: "This child didn't tell us anything. I know she must have been laughed at by many people at school."
Yinyin, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly trembled when she heard this. She looked up at the middle-aged woman and whispered, "Mom, I wasn't laughed at by anyone."
But when she said this, her tone was a little tearful.
Anyone could tell she was lying.
Xu Yu asked the girl, "Do you want to go to college?"
The girl bit her lip tightly before lowering her head and saying, "If my acne doesn't heal, even if I go to college, many people will stare at me. I... don't want to be the subject of everyone's attention."
Xu Yu looked at her expression and understood the girl's inferiority complex.
After all, decades later, acne became a symbol of adolescent children. Although everyone was very accepting of it at that time and thought it was a normal phenomenon, there were still many people who became inferior and introverted because of the outside world's gaze.
She said, "I can help you cure your acne before you go to college, and I can also help you whiten your skin."
"really?"
The girl suddenly raised her eyes to look at Xu Yu, her eyes gleaming with light, but when she thought about how she had seen the doctor for several months without any effect, the light in her eyes dimmed again.
Xu Yu knew what she was thinking, so he continued, "I'll help you treat the acne on your face, but you have to follow my instructions. During this time, you can't..."
Xu Yu then raised a number of requests that needed the girl's attention. After saying this, she did not ask the girl to agree or disagree, but said to the middle-aged woman:
"I can guarantee that I can cure your daughter's face, but the herbs needed are both good and ordinary. Good herbs can heal faster, while ordinary herbs will take a long time. You have to choose for yourself."
"But no matter what herbs you choose, I will give them to her for a trial for ten days. After ten days, if you think they are effective, you can come back to me. If you think they are ineffective, then I will not charge any compensation."
"what do you think?"
The middle-aged woman was obviously not short of money. After hearing this, her originally skeptical attitude towards Xu Yu suddenly improved.
This was the first time she had encountered a doctor who offered to pay after trying first, and even waived the fee if the results weren't positive. Thinking her daughter had already been seeing doctors for months without success, and that trying for another ten days wouldn't hurt, she immediately agreed, "Then use the best herbs."
"can."
Xu Yu’s confidence gave the girl a glimmer of hope.
Xu Yu took the girl's pulse, then prescribed some medicine for internal and external use, and explained the things that needed to be paid attention to in the next few days. He also said that he would tell Zhao Cui'e after ten days whether there was any effect or not, and how much he would pay her. Then the mother and daughter left.
After they left, Zhao Cui'e asked in shock, "Sister, did you take too much?"
"Not much." Xu Yu took Zhao Cui'e's hand and said with a smile, "The herbs I give you are the best and most difficult to collect. If I could still not accept money openly, I would ask for more."
Zhao Cui'e was still a little worried: "Even if what you want is something, it is equivalent to money. I am afraid that someone will report it again."
"Don't worry, I went to the provincial capital to take the exam, so I'm a licensed doctor. No one can report me."
Zhao Cui'e was relieved.
Then Xu Yu took Zhao Cui'e's pulse and told her about the things she needed to pay attention to when she was more than three months pregnant.
Zhao Cui'e wrote it down carefully. At the same time, she was really happy that Xu Yu was pregnant with twins. She couldn't help but smile as she looked at her still flat belly and said, "That's good. From now on, no one will dare to say bad things about you and Xiao Jiang behind your back."
Although they always said that they supported Xu Yu's decision, Zhao Cui'e, like other people in the Xu family, felt very angry every time she heard others talking and pointing fingers at them.
Xu Yu knew what they were thinking, so he smiled and nodded, saying, "Now no one in the village says that Brother Yi can't have children anymore. What they say most is that they envy me for having twins."
"Just be envious. If I were you, I would definitely go in front of those people who say sarcastic things and let them feel the feeling of being slapped in the face."
This made Xu Yu laugh. She said, "I don't have the time to hang around them. If I had this time, wouldn't it be better for me to make more medicine and sell it to make money?"
"Haha... That's right. You're not going to have just two children. You'll live better than anyone else in the village, making them envious and jealous."
"Hehe...I thought so too."
The aunt and sister-in-law talked for a long time before they remembered the two men who were still outside.
The two of them went out and found them.
Then the two men cooked, and Xu Yu and Zhao Cui'e stood by and watched.
Xu Yu said to Zhao Cui'e, "Sister-in-law, you and your elder brother should go buy some furniture, at least a wardrobe and a table."
"What are we buying? Jianjun and I already have our clothes in the closet. Besides, we don't spend much time in the dormitory, so there's no need to waste money here... Even if we want to buy furniture, we might as well buy it back home."
Xu Jianping also asked: "Sister-in-law, are you planning to save money with your brother to build a brick house?"
"Yes." Zhao Cui'e did not hide it from the three people, with anticipation on her face: "Jianjun and I calculated that if we save a little, we can build a brick house next year."
She added, "In the eyes of the villagers, Jianjun and I both have respectable jobs. We can't work for years and still not be able to build a house, leaving our parents to be gossiped about behind their backs."
This is how the villagers are. There are many people who hate you and laugh at you. Especially since Xu Kui is the village chief of Hongxing Village and his eldest son and daughter-in-law have decent jobs. If he fails to build a brick house in time, he will be criticized behind his back.
As the eldest son and daughter-in-law in the family, Xu Jianjun and Zhao Cui'e certainly hope to bring honor to their parents.
Xu Yu understood their thoughts and said, "Even if you make money to build brick houses, don't overwork yourselves, especially you, sister-in-law. When the time comes, you can find more clients for me so that you don't have to do hard work."
Zhao Cui'e smiled and nodded.
……
Xu Jianjun didn't come back until seven o'clock in the evening.
When he learned that Xu Yu was pregnant with twins, he was truly happy for them.
A few people chatted while eating.
Xu Jianjun took on another route just for the five dollars.
He said, "I've driven on worse roads than that in the army before, so I took it."
Xu Yu and the others knew that they couldn't persuade him. Besides, at that time, everyone had a deep-rooted belief that being a driver was the best and most stable job, so they asked him to pay attention to safety.
Xu Jianjun nodded and agreed.
Then he and Zhao Cui'e discussed the time of return.
Because both of them were in the city, it would take most of the day to go back including the time for transfers and waiting for the bus, so they always swapped shifts with others, and finally accumulated a few days of vacation before going home together.
Xu Yu said, "If you arrive in the county town late, you can stay at our place. We have everything you need in the room. Don't rush back in the middle of the night."
After saying that, she gave the two of them a key to the front door of her house in the county town.
After dinner, they chatted for a while before Xu Yu and the others returned to the county town.
It was already past ten o'clock when they returned to the county town. Unexpectedly, there was a group of people standing outside their house waiting for them.
