That was because the households in the village were improving. Many people had gone to work in the tofu shop. Their lives would be better if they received monthly payments.

Therefore, the villagers gathered in groups of twos and threes to chat even though the weather was cold. It was also a way to relax. If it were the past, they would be unwilling to leave their houses to chat whenever they were in a bad mood.

At that moment, two to three more people came out of the clinic.

“How was it, Mrs. Li?” Everyone asked as usual.

“It cost five coins for a dose.”

“Mr. Lin, how did it go?

“I typically have headaches and always feel dizzy. My son and daughter insisted that I come for a consultation. Miss Su said it wasn’t a big problem and told me to drink three doses of this medicine. These only cost me twelve coins. I didn’t believe it.

“If you have questions, please see Miss Su while you have the chance. In the future, when people from other villages know what Miss Su is doing, they will also line up to see her. There will be too many people here by then. Moreover, Miss Su’s diagnosis and consultation are fast, so she wastes no one’s time.”

“Miss Su’s medical skills are excellent, so how can other doctors compare? Someone could not help but say.

“That’s right. A Liu family member in Willow Village got bitten by a venomous snake. Other doctors couldn’t cure him, but Miss Su could.”

“Ding Wan’s condition is the most obvious. Everyone saw what Miss Su did, so they know whether or not Miss Su’s medical skills are good.”

When the other villagers discovered how cheap it was to get medicine, they stopped picking vegetables and ran home. Then they brought their folks who were not feeling well for a consultation.

However, the old folks insisted on not going. An older lady said, “I already said I’m not going, so I’m not. I’m already old, and my legs hurt. What’s the point of seeing a doctor and spending all that money?

“Mother, its just a small issue It doesn’t cost much to get medicine, either. At most, it’ll cost more than ten coins. Quickly go for a consultation. If you don’t, you won’t even get a number in the queue when Miss Su gets too busy in the future. If it only costs ten coins, I can earn it back in two days at the tofu factory.”

The older lady was astounded when she heard it only cost ten coins. “What did you say? Only ten coins? Is it that cheap to get medicine?”

Meanwhile, Wang Quan’s wife ran straight home and said to him, panting, “Quick, doesn’t our father have back problems? We should let Miss Su check on him. Maybe he’ll get better. Also, the medicine will only cost five to ten coins.

It’s very cheap.”

Wang Quan was at home feeding the chickens and ducks. The Su family had hired him to reclaim land, and he had completed his job. He was at home during his free time.

However, his wife was now working at the tofu factory, and her family was doing well. In the past, Wang Quan’s wife would help his mother feed the ducks and chickens, but he took over.

Wang Quan’s mother had told his wife to relax so she would have the energy and strength to work well at the tofu factory. Wang Quan thought it made sense, so he started helping with the home cooking.

Wang Quan’s wife felt that her status in the family had risen since she started working at the tofu factory. Her mother-in-law started treating her better and always let Wang Quan i s wife and child eat first.

Wang Quan’s wife knew those were the benefits she could enjoy because she could work at the tofu factory. Therefore, she worked even harder at the tofu factory, fearing getting picked on and losing her job.

Wang Quan quickly went to tell his parents about what his wife had said. “Father, your back has always been hurting, so visit Miss Su. Maybe you’ll get better. I heard it’s cheap and only costs a few coins to get medicine.”

Wang Quan’s father could not believe it. “What nonsense are you spewing? It’s not like I haven’t gotten my back treated before. Whenever I get medicine, it costs a few hundred coins. I’ve already spent a few silver taels for this, but it still doesn’t seem to get any better.”

Wang Quan’s mother also tried persuading him, “Let’s check it out. Even if the doctor in town can’t cure you, it doesn’t mean Miss Su can’t. She’s capable, and everyone in the village knows that.”

“Miss Su’s father, Su Fengmao, was in a worse condition than you. He couldn’t even walk. Look at him now. He can jump around and help his family with work. Don’t worry about spending a few coins. You can earn back the money once your back is better.”

Wang Quan’s father thought it made sense, so the whole family packed and brought him to Su Binglan’s place to queue for registration.

Su Binglan was indeed fast. She said it would take her one afternoon to treat patients when it would take other doctors several days. She could tell what was wrong with her patients with a simple look or pulse check.

The villagers ate and exercised often. They also worked and rested adequately. They typically worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, so they barely suffered severe illnesses.

If they were to suffer severe conditions, it would be the kind that affected their muscles or bones. Some could even heal themselves with essential medicine. However, some problems, like Su Fengmao’s, required surgery.

Still, he also needed to take medicine before the operation. Even so, only one or two people would typically need such treatment. Most people only had minor problems.

Meanwhile, it was Miss He and Lin Chai’s turn for a consultation. Miss He had a gentle personality. She looked at Su Binglan and said, “I’ll have to trouble you, Miss Su.”

“You’re too polite, Miss He. Quick) sit down.”

Lin Chai anxiously said, “M-M-My wife’s body is w-weak. H-Her body worsened when s-she gave birth to our third s-son. I’ll have to t-trouble you to check on h-her, Miss Su.”

Lin Chai stammered, but he did not care if he did in front of his wife.

Su Binglan was stunned when she heard his words. She looked at him. From her perspective, Lin Chai’s stuttering was a minor issue she could easily cure.

She checked Miss He’s pulse and said, “Indeed, your body is fragile because you don’t have enough qi and blood, so you must recuperate. However, it’s nothing significant. You’ll feel much better after five to six days. Follow me to the back, and I’ll treat you with acupuncture.”

“How much will the acupuncture cost, Miss Su?” Miss He asked lowly.

Su Binglan looked at Miss He and Lin Chai’s patched clothes. There were many patches, but they were spotless. After some silence, she said, “We just opened the clinic, so we won’t need to charge you for acupuncture. Ten coins are enough for you to get the medicine you need.”

Miss He heaved a sigh of relief when she heard it only cost ten coins. Honestly, she could not bear spending so much money—she could not even bear to spend ten coins.

Still, she decided to treat her husband when she thought of Lin Chai’s worried eyes. She also feared her body might give out one day, and she did not feel at ease leaving Lin Chai and her three sons behind.

“Thank you, Miss Su. You’re a kind person.”

Su Binglan sighed inwardly, “I didn’t do anything. However, you can work when you’ve recuperated, Miss He. You wouldn’t happen to know needlework, would you, Miss He?”

Miss He hurriedly reacted when she heard that. She said, “I know needlework!

I’m the one who typically sews our family’s clothes. I can make new clothes

She had also heard the news that Su Binglan was preparing to build a shop at the village entrance and might hire people. Since Su Binglan had asked her if she knew needlework, Miss He immediately thought of this.

She was so excited, she even exclaimed..
