Cheng Yu stood at the side and looked at Yao Jun’s clumsy appearance. In the end, he couldn’t take it anymore.
“Get up, you’re useless!”
This clumsy thing would take half a day to look at a medicinal ingredient. By the time he finished brewing this jar of medicine, it would be too late!
Yao Jun hurriedly handed over the things in his hand. He didn’t want to do such a thing in the first place. It was best if Cheng Yu could take over now.
After those people drank Su Li’s improved prescription, their symptoms gradually improved.
Cheng Yu looked for Su Li excitedly. “Madam Su, those people are starting to get better, and the effect is even better than the last time.”
He seemed to have forgotten their previous argument.
Su Li glanced at him and nodded calmly. “Yes, I understand. Make it according to the prescription just now. Send it to the villagers later.”
Cheng Yu nodded vigorously. “Alright, I’ll do it now.”
Su Li saw Cheng Yu standing at the side and not leaving. He even looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. She asked, “Why aren’t you leaving? What’s the matter?”
The corners of Cheng Yu’s mouth twitched as he said, “Madam Su, I misunderstood you previously. Please don’t take it to heart. Please forgive my ignorance and offense!”
When he was studying the prescription just now, he realized the deeper meaning of Su Li changing the prescription and testing on them. Moreover, he learned from Su Ze that these people had not only poisoned the well, but they had also come to the Su family to do something improper. The Su family had almost been killed!
Based on what he said, those people could be said to be unpardonably evil, and they were enemies. Who wouldn’t be ruthless to their enemies?
If it were him, he would first pick the tendons in their hands and feet. Anyway, this would not affect the effect of testing the medicine. Su Li smiled lightly and said, “I didn’t take it to heart.”
Was she that petty?
“Really?” Cheng Yu was certain again.
Su Li put the herbs back and said, “However, your words make me very uncomfortable. I feel that my young heart has been hurt.”
Cheng Yu quickly said, “Then what compensation do you need?”
Su Li blinked and said innocently, “I heard that your clinic has some rather old fleeceflower roots!”
Cheng Yu was speechless.
They had spent a lot of effort to buy it. They originally wanted to leave it there as a treasure to show off and show it to others when they had nothing to do. They did not intend to sell it. After all, this thing was relatively rare.
Who knew that this girl was so well-informed and even had designs on their fleeceflower root?
Cheng Yu said awkwardly, “Madam, I can’t give you that thing at all. You know that I only have this pitiful salary. Even if you kill me, I won’t be able to buy it!”
“Change to something else. As long as it’s within my ability, I’ll definitely think of a way to get it for you.”
Su Li raised her eyebrows and said considerately, “Alright then. I’m not the kind of person to make things difficult for others. Since you’ve said so, I’ll definitely satisfy you.”
“I’ve been developing some medicine recently. I need to use scalpel wood, yellow begonia, mountain driving whip, perforated leaves, and field foundation yellow. I searched the mountain but couldn’t find it.”
Cheng Yu immediately added, “Madam Su, don’t look for it. I’ll get someone to send these medicines to you when the time comes.”
These herbs paled in comparison to the fleeceflower root. Moreover, he was the one who offended someone first. He had to apologize no matter what!
Su Li smiled faintly. “Thank you then!”
Cheng Yu said, “No need to thank me, it’s what I should do!”
If Su Li refused to accept his things, he would have a problem.
After Cheng Yu brewed the medicine, he immediately brought it to the poisoned villagers.
Yao Jun volunteered, “Doctor Cheng, do you need my help?”
Cheng Yu thought of Yao Jun’s clumsy appearance and quickly rejected him.
“No need. Go do other things!”
If he spilled these medicines, he would have to brew them again.
Yao Jun was just being polite. He wasn’t so diligent as to find something for himself to do because he knew that Cheng Yu wouldn’t hand the matter to him. He touched his nose and said, “Alright then! Thank you, Doctor Cheng.”
Cheng Yu distributed the medicine to the poisoned villagers. As expected, the poisoned people in the village slowly improved after drinking the medicine. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and exaggerated that Cheng Yu was a miracle doctor.
Cheng Yu didn’t dare to accept this credit. After all, he was at most just an errand boy in this matter. Whether it was the prescription or the medicinal herbs, Su Li was the only one who was working on it.
Cheng Yu hurriedly explained, “This prescription isn’t mine. Su Li developed it herself. I’m just in charge of brewing the medicine!” Su Li was the one who developed the antidote?
Was she that capable?
Why didn’t they believe it!
“Doctor Cheng, don’t be humble. How can we not know what Su Li is capable of? She’s just a lazy woman.”
“That’s right. In the past, before she got married, she would either lie down and eat or sleep. She didn’t do a single thing at home.”
“She’s such a big girl, but she still has to be served by her parents. If she didn’t have to poop or eat on her own, I think she would have to ask her parents for help!”
“Exactly. I hate people like her the most.”
The corners of Cheng Yu’s mouth twitched. Why was Su Li’s reputation so bad, be it in her in-laws’ or her maiden family’s?
Could it be that someone was jealous of her talent and was trying their best to discredit her?
Otherwise, such a good person like her could be said to be both presentable outside and good at home. No matter what, her reputation would not be so bad.
Cheng Yu continued to explain, “This prescription was indeed developed by Su Li. Her medical skills are above mine. She should be able to treat any illness that I can’t cure.”
The villager was still in disbelief. “Is she really that powerful? Why haven’t I heard her mention it before?”
“That’s right. If it were me, I would probably tell the entire world. Why would I still be unknown.”
Cheng Yu thought for a moment and said, “Maybe she wants to hide her strength?”
Other than this reason, he could not think of any other excuse!
The villager pursed his lips and said, “Doctor Cheng, we know that you’re being kind and want to give her your credit so that her reputation will be better. However, I advise you not to waste your efforts. She’s just a useless thing. It’s not like everyone doesn’t know!”
“You’re too kind. She’s not worthy of you.”
Cheng Yu was speechless.
How should he explain it to them before they would believe him?
In the end, he spoke until his mouth was dry. The villagers did not listen to a word he said and even thought that he was being selfless.
When Su Li saw Cheng Yu return with a depressed expression, she asked,
“What’s wrong? Was someone poisoned to death?”
Cheng Yu felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Su Li’s clear eyes.. He said,
“Madam Su, I explained to them that you were the one who developed this prescription, but they didn’t believe me!”
