Old Madam Sun also saw Sun Yuangui and waved at him. “Yuangui, come to
Mother.”
Sun Yuangui was the third son in the family, and he had two older brothers. Old Madam Sun usually lived with her eldest son, and the three families did not live far apart. Old Madam Sun would come over to take a look when she was free.
Sun Yungui sat down beside Old Madam Sun. “Mother, why didn’t you inform me in advance that you were coming? I didn’t even have the time to prepare your favorite dishes.”
When Sun Yuangui said this, Old Madam Sun couldn’t stop smiling.
“Mother heard that you hired a powerful doctor, so she wanted to come over and take a look. Physician Su took my pulse just now and described my symptoms accurately. I’m preparing to have her help me administer acupuncture! ”
Acupuncture? Sun Yuangui’s scalp went numb when he heard these two words. Today was the day of his follow-up. He might even get acupunctured twice later!
“Physician Su, I don’t need acupuncture anymore, right?”
Sun Yuangui prayed silently in his heart, hoping that he could escape this time. Su Li said, “That’s hard to say. It depends on your recovery.”
Su Li gave Sun Yuangui a checkup and realized that he was recovering well.
However, if he continued to be acupunctured, the effect would be even better.
Thinking of Sun Yuangui’s frightened expression, Su Li felt that it was better to let him continue taking the medicine. Although it was slower, at least the patient’s mentality was not harmed.
“Physician Su, how is it?” Guan Xiyue asked nervously.
Su Li said, “He’s recovered quite well. He just have to continue taking medicine.”
“I don’t need acupuncture anymore?” Sun Yuangui asked.
Seeing that he was a little disappointed, Su Li said, “Since you want to do it, it’s not impossible. After all, the effect of the acupuncture will be better.”
Sun Yuangui quickly waved his hand. “No, no, no. I’ll just take my medicine!”
When Old Madam Sun saw Sun Yuangui like this, a smile appeared on her face.
“You’ve been afraid of needles since you were young. Aren’t you afraid of embarrassing yourself if word gets out?”
Sun Yuangui smiled and said, “Don’t blame me for this. This bad habit is inherited from my father!”
His father also had this problem, so this was definitely inherited. It had nothing to do with him!
Old Madam Sun looked at Su Li and said, “Doctor Su, can we start now?”
Dizziness had been bothering her for a long time. She wished she could cure it immediately.
Su Li nodded. “Sure. I don’t like others around when I’m doing acupuncture. Old Master Sun, please wait outside.”
Guan Xiyue and Sun Yuangui knew that she followed the rules and left with the servants.
Su Li took out the silver needle. When Old Madam Sun saw the long and thin silver needle, she felt terrible.
Su Li said, “Old Madam Sun, don’t be nervous.”
Old Madam Sun said stubbornly, “I’m not nervous!”
Su Li lowered her head and looked at her sleeve. It was already wrinkled beyond recognition!
Su Li reminded him, “Let go of me first.”
Old Madam Sun smiled awkwardly and let go of Su Li’s sleeve.
It was not that she was afraid of needles. It was just that she was a little old and dizzy, so she grabbed Su Li tightly.
After the treatment, Old Madam Sun lay on the bed unconscious like Sun Yuangui last time.
Su Li patted her gently. “Old Madam Sun…”
Old Madam Sun opened her eyes. “It’s over?”
She glanced at Su Li’s hand and heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that she was not holding the silver needle.
Su Li nodded. “Yes, it’s over.”
As expected, it was genetic. She fell asleep during the acupuncture. When she woke up, she asked the same question.
Su Li opened the door and said to Sun Yuangui and Guan Xiyue, who were waiting outside, “It’s over. You can come in now.” Guan Xiyue asked with concern, “Is she alright?”
“She just has to take the medicine on time,” Su Li said.
Sun Yuangui heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good, that’s good.”
His mother’s dizziness had been bothering her for a long time. If it could be cured, he would be thanking the heavens!
“Mother, how do you feel?” Sun Yuangui walked to Old Madam Sun’s side and asked.
Old Madam Sun smiled and said, “I don’t feel so uncomfortable anymore.” Su Li held a pen and wrote down a prescription for Old Madam Sun.
She handed the prescription to Sun Yuangui. “Follow this to get the medicine.”
Sun Yuangui looked at the prescription written by Su Li. Three cents of Ginger
Pinellia, three cents of Atractylodes Rhizome, one and a half cents of Tall Gastrodiae, two cents of preserved peel, and three cents of Poria. These medicines did not look very bitter, unlike his medicine that contained Coptis!
According to the agreement, Old Madam Sun had to pay her ten taels of silver. However, Old Madam Sun felt that her illness had not really been cured and asked Su Li to come back in a few days.
If she really didn’t faint anymore, she would pay Su Li the money as promised. If it didn’t work, she wouldn’t pay the consultation fee.
“Mother, why don’t we give it to Physician Su?”
Old Madam Sun glared at Sun Yuangui. “One has to keep her word. Moreover, Physician Su’s medical skills are so good. I don’t think she’s afraid of not being able to get the money!”
She then looked at Su Li and said, “Doctor Su, don’t you think so?”
Su Li chuckled. “We’ll do it according to the agreement.”
She believed in her medical skills. If Old Madam Sun wanted to go back on her word, she could still ask Sun Yuangui for it. She did not believe that Sun Yuangui would refuse to give her the consultation fee.
“Since there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first,” Su Li said.
There was still a patient and two children waiting to be fed at home. It was better for her to go back quickly.
Guan Xiyue opened her mouth and was about to persuade her to stay.
Old Madam Sun knew Guan Xiyue’s intentions and glared at her. She had yet to finish testing Physician Su. What if she was unskilled?
Guan Xiyue still wanted to ask her to stay to treat her. She was really brainless! Although Su Li had been right about her illness and she had indeed felt much better after the acupuncture, it would take a few days before the effects were revealed.
Guan Xiyue swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She trusted Su Li’s medical skills, but her mother-in-law had always been domineering. It was not a wise choice to go against her at this time. It seemed like she could only wait for the next time!
Old Madam Sun looked at Su Li and said with a smile, “Physician Su, I’ll get someone to send you back.”
Although she had yet to pay the consultation fee, she had to maintain a good relationship with the doctor. After Su Li gave her the acupuncture just now, she did feel much more energetic. She would know in two days whether it was useful or not.
If Su Li was really that capable, it would be difficult to look for her in the future after offending her now.
Who could guarantee that they would not have a headache or fever for the rest of their lives?
Su Li nodded. “Thank you, Old Madam Sun.”
It would be best if someone sent her back. She could save another fare. Besides, the carriage was much more comfortable than the ox cart. Every time she rode the ox cart, she felt like vomiting blood.
The person who sent Su Li back was still Sun Ming. After a few interactions, the two of them were more familiar with each other..
