“I’m not asking you to confront your father physically. You can ask the county magistrate for help and request that he intervene in your family situation or even reconcile with your mother from your father,” the old doctor said.
“Ah!” This wasn’t the first ti Jinli had heard such remarks. When he was buying groceries, he overheard people on the road saying that the current county magistrate allowed separation and remarriage.
However, as a common citizen, he had a natural respect for the local authorities.
Jinli really wanted the county magistrate to intervene, but he didn’t know what to do. He heard that if people entered the magistrate’s office, they could be punished. He also heard that the county magistrate was fond of locking people up, preventing them from living their lives normally.
Seeing that Jinli was moved, the old doctor imdiately struck while the iron was hot: “Your mother’s illness was caused by anger. Even if the doctor cures the disease now, once your father cos back, your mother will fall ill again. Human endurance is only so great. Now that your mother can still take dicine, if he risks his lives next ti, there is no guarantee that he can be saved.”
Jinli was enraged inside. It seed like a trivial matter, but he didn’t expect it could endanger a life. His mother had been seriously ill these days, he was contemplating what he would do if his mother passed away. Now that he had finally seen so improvent, he couldn’t let it go.
Jinli didn’t want to live a lonely and helpless life without his family by his side. He said with red eyes, “Thank you, doctor. I know that after my mother are settled, I will go and ask the county magistrate to intervene.”
The old doctor saw that his persuasion was effective, and he stroked his long gray beard with satisfaction.
“That’s how it should be. It’s good for both your mother and you. Now that Linxian County has opened up, you can make a living easily. Putting your father aside will help your marriage. When you grow up, you should find soone who is reliable and well-matched.”
The old doctor said very directly. After getting along for such a short ti, he was not optimistic about these two people. As an experienced person, he knew very well about Zhao Han’s current condition.
Regardless of whether Zhao Han was a popular person next to the county magistrate or a young master with a background, the two of them had different visions. He also believed that the county magistrate would not agree, and neither would the big shots behind Young Master Zhao. If it were soone intelligent and beautiful, it might still be possible.
It was a pity that Jinli didn’t possess any of those qualities. He looked ordinary, and at most, he could be seen as naive, but in the eyes of wealthy people, he appeared foolish.
Jinli nodded in a very polite manner. He had never considered marrying into wealthy family, he just wanted to find soone he could love to live a good life.
The old doctor looked at him and knew that his words had no effect.
“After you get ho, find a better ti to go! Don’t waste the opportunity, because the county magistrate will soon accept the inspection from above, and he is likely to be promoted based on his ability. If you miss it, no one can help you anymore.”
“I understand, doctor, thank you. I will definitely seize the ti,” Jinli said gratefully.
Although there were many precious dicinal materials in the dicine, Jinli didn’t know how to read and didn’t know how to identify the dicinal materials, so the doctor gave him a few dozen copies.
He had thought it would be much cheaper. Jinli’s mother was also very worried that this large pharmacy was too expensive, and he was always concerned about not having enough money.
.
When Jinli returned, his mother quickly took his hand and asked, “How much did the doctor charge you? Why were you there for so long? Did you get a lot of dicine?”
“It’s not expensive. The doctor just chatted with
for a while. Don’t worry. Well, I only paid a few dozen wens and the dical treatnt in this place is much cheaper,” Jinli said happily.
Jinli’s mother said with emotion, “It’s good to see a doctor in this place. At least you won’t be cheated.”
Jinli nodded in agreent.
.
The doctor watched the two people went away and said to himself, “Should I talk about this matter to the county magistrate? These are all my guesses. What if I am wrong? But what if I don’t stop this in ti? Doesn’t it beco a bad fate if love is deeply rooted?”
The little dical assistant looked at his master’s nervous look and found it strange. It was obviously a very simple disease! Why was his master as anxious as if he encountered a difficult and complicated disease?
“Master, what’s wrong with you? Do you want Baizhi to help you?”
The old doctor rubbed the baby’s head. “Master is thinking about sothing. There is one thing that I am not sure of the truth. If it is true, it will be very serious. If it’s not true, everyone will be happy. Master is wondering whether to tell others.”
Baizhi thought for a mont and said, “Master, I think Master should want to tell others. Your guess is never wrong; the master is the smartest and most capable.”
The old doctor listened to the child’s childish words and nodded happily.
The child’s idea was right. He should really talk about it. If sothing really happened, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life. He had lived a carefree and casual life for most of his life. He should not make himself unhappy because of this incident.
.
Liao Tingyu was very curious about the unexpected visitor. This person was a doctor in a dical clinic. He usually had nothing to do with him.
“What is he doing here?” Liao Tingyu asked doubtfully, turning to the waiter who reported, “Go and invite him in.”
