Chapter 506: Renxin Medical Clinic Has No Heart
Since they have signed a contract to sell themselves, the work of these people needs to be redistributed.
Su Wan could read and had learned how to manage a household, so Yuxiu made her the housekeeper, and Linglong was responsible for following her around and running errands and helping out.
The woman with her two younger sisters was named Zhang Taoye. She was said to be a good cook and was in charge of the work in the big kitchen.
Her two younger sisters, one named Taohua and the other named Taozhi, also followed her in the kitchen to do things.
There are three men. The one who is going to help find his neighbor’s wife is named Li Sheng, and the other taciturn man is named Yuan Fugui. The two of them are temporarily responsible for guarding the gate, feeding the horses, driving the carriage, etc.
Wei Dahai, who was relatively familiar with Chen County, helped Su Wan with some chores that required going out.
As for the other women, they were responsible for cleaning and washing in the yard.
After making some rough arrangements, Yuxiu handed over all the subsequent matters to Su Wan.
"Just arrange these for you. If there are those who are unwilling to obey, we don't need to keep them because our temple is small. We can just find a human trafficker to sell them off..."
Yuxiu said these words in front of everyone, with the purpose of intimidating them and at the same time establishing the prestige of Su Wan as the chief steward.
It also makes people understand clearly that those who sign the indenture can only be disposed of by their masters.
Sure enough, when they heard that they would be sold if they didn't obey, everyone's backs straightened up immediately.
During those days in Miao Village, they heard the bandits talk about it countless times.
"If you don't obey, I'll sell you to a brothel. Once you get there, they'll have ways to teach you how to behave. You'll be so miserable that you won't be able to die even if you want to!"
Su Wan was indeed a very good manager. She seemed to understand a lot of principles. These people were very convinced of her and quickly arranged the affairs in the yard in an orderly manner.
On the second day after moving in, Yuxiu assigned two tasks to Su Wan.
First, look at the names in the booklet to see how many people were sold to Chen County, and try to redeem those who can be redeemed first.
The second thing is to send someone out to inquire and collect some information about Princess Corning.
A good servant will not question anything his master says, and Su Wan is like that.
After hearing Yuxiu's words, she didn't ask any more questions. She nodded and agreed and went down to make arrangements.
Fortunately, these people escaped death and cherished the opportunity to survive, so they did not cause any trouble to Yuxiu.
Su Wan took people to do these things, and Yuxiu couldn't just sit and wait at home, so she went out quickly.
It just so happened that the small system had restored Qingyun's identity, and he was soon placed in a hidden place by Yuxiu, and then ran out to meet her.
This county town is quite large. There are several bluestone-paved streets in the city, and both sides of the streets are lined with various shops of all sizes.
But I don’t know why, no matter what shop it is, there are no customers.
Apart from the shopkeeper who was fiddling with an abacus, there was a clerk who was wiping things here and there with a handkerchief. The place looked very deserted and depressed.
"Doctor, please save my son's life first! I will go back and raise money immediately. Even if I have to sell my two acres of land, I will pay back the money for the medicine..."
Just as they walked across a street, Yuxiu and her companion heard a familiar pleading voice coming from not far ahead.
"My son is burning all over. If I don't give him medicine, he won't be able to bear it. Doctor, please be flexible. Our family will be able to pay back the money even if we don't eat or drink..."
The woman's voice was very shrill. Yuxiu felt very sad when she thought of the string of copper coins she had given out with gritted teeth at the city gate.
If this child is really gone, would she, the "black-hearted" princess, be the culprit behind it?
"You are such an unreasonable woman! I told you, we don't sell on credit. If you have money, come and see the doctor and get medicine. If you don't have money, take your child home and wait to die. Beg me, beg me, money won't fall from the sky!"
A thin middle-aged man was standing on the steps of the clinic. He looked down at the kneeling woman, his eyes full of contempt and disdain.
"It's no use calling the doctor. I'm the owner of the clinic, and I, the owner, have the final say on everything!"
No money? They dare to go to the clinic without money. I have to say that these country folks are just daydreaming.
"Don't say that our clinic is unwilling to help you. As you are so pitiful and have a kind heart, I will kindly show you a way out..."
However, the words of the woman in front of him reminded him. The shopkeeper rolled his eyes, smiled maliciously, and quickly put on a compassionate look.
"Didn't you say you wanted to go home and sell the land? I happen to know a broker who is very fast and offers a fair price. If you really want to save your son's life, go find him..."
"Save, I'll save..."
The woman held the burning child in her arms, her heart filled with despair.
If the land is sold, the family will have no hope anymore and will have to wait for nothing. Sooner or later, they will all starve to death together.
But if she doesn't sell the land, her son will be dying.
Boundless despair and desolation enveloped her, making the woman's mind dazed and she almost fainted.
But there was still a glimmer of hope for the son in her arms, so she absolutely could not faint.
Even if they were going to starve to death together in the future, she would try her best to save her son's life now, and they could worry about the future later!
"I'm selling my land. I'm selling my land now. Please, boss, get some medicine for my son first..."
A trickle of bright red blood flowed from the corner of the woman's mouth. Yuxiu saw it clearly. She must have bitten her tongue, which was how she stayed awake.
"Well, go into the alley in front and walk all the way to the house at the back. That's the farmland dealer. Mention the name of our Renxin Clinic and he will definitely give you a good price..."
Hearing the woman say she was willing to sell the land, the shopkeeper's smile grew even wider. He stretched out his hand and pointed casually at the spot where Yuxiu was standing at that moment.
Yuxiu and Qingyun couldn't help but turn their heads to look, and sure enough, they saw a small alley next to them, with about seven or eight households on both sides.
The child's illness could not be delayed, so the woman looked up at the plaque above the clinic, holding the child whose face was red and who was unconscious, and struggled to stand up.
"This is unbelievable, host. With such a character, he still dares to call himself Renxin Medical Clinic. I think he has no human nature at all!"
Qingyun was watching from the side with his eyes blazing with anger. He wished he could rush up right now and pull down the shopkeeper who looked down on others and give him a beating.
Then we should take down the sign of the so-called Renxin Medical Clinic and trample it to pieces.
