Chapter 119 Small talk in the Green Clinic
Chapter 119 Chatting in Green Clinic
"Comes with a bonus message."
The slightly teasing expression on Green's face made Chen Yan suddenly think of the gossiping aunts on Walker Street on Sundays.
"I heard..."
Even the tone of voice is similar!
"A lot of people were injured in the past two days. You must know why... So, my business has been very good these two days."
This young man... seems a bit familiar.
Chen Yan looked at Green and blinked, his green pupils shining with excitement.
"I followed my father to see a doctor, and the man's wound was very strange and could not heal.
Even if you use my powerful ointment, it will only have a slight effect."
Green tapped the glass on the counter with his index finger:
"A message spread among them - there is a magical corner girl in the lower city, and her blood can heal any wound."
Chen Yan was speechless.
This news has spread among the extraordinary people...
Chen Yan said in a casual chatting tone: "Does anyone really believe this kind of thing?"
Green nodded seriously: "There are more people injured this time. When they know the news, it's like they have grasped a life-saving straw - everyone is looking for the corner girl!"
He complained: "I think those people are fools...
Extraordinary beings who can heal wounds with blood often have very high requirements for their own qualities, and most of them must keep themselves clean enough and take a lot of nourishing medicines all year round——
It is impossible for a corner girl to meet these conditions."
Green's tone was full of disgust.
"If it were me, even if I was injured, I wouldn't use that person's blood to treat the disease - because there are all kinds of viruses in their blood!"
"I warned a friend who was injured in this incident, and he actually told me——"
He clearly disfigured his friend and distorted the pronunciation of certain words to sound like another pronunciation.
"Ai, it's okay. Warts are no big deal. The chance of winning is very high!"
Another hateful homophone.
After Green finished speaking, he laughed.
Chen Yan couldn't laugh at all and just said in a calm voice:
"It's so sad."
Green sighed and put away the sarcasm on his lips.
"Who says it isn't?"
He doesn't seem to be inherently hateful.
"Most of those corner girls live a very miserable life, and there is no way out - they are used to making quick money and rarely change careers."
His words were half-articulated, not very coherent, and sounded strange.
Chen Yan asked thoughtfully:
“Are they not changing careers entirely because they like to make money?”
Green scratched his face with a look of reminiscence.
"Some of them are like this...most of them have not received a good education, have not experienced a normal family environment, and have no skills...In short, they have been forced by a bad life, and it is also because of their own depravity."
Another sentence with no preface and follow-up.
This guy Green seems to be thinking a little outside the box, and even his words are jumping around.
Chen Yan asked curiously: "How do you know these things?"
It was now class time at various universities on the high street, and there were no customers in Green's clinic. In addition, the young man himself talked a lot, so naturally he started chatting with Chen Yan.
"I went to a missionary school."
Green seemed to be a little distracted because he thought of something.
"Actually, although I went to a free missionary school, the Green family was not short of money.
The patent fees for any of our medicines are enough for me to squander for a lifetime.
My grandma once said, as long as I don’t mess around with myself, I can spend whatever I want.”
"But my dad doesn't think so."
He curled his lips.
"He felt that I should enter society, stay with all kinds of different people, and see their lives in order to understand what the world is like."
"So, he arranged for me to go to a missionary school and even controlled my living expenses. That old guy, he made me work-study."
Chen Yan's ears were calloused and his face twitched: "Actually, you can just say the key points."
Green grinned: "It was a few years ago."
"A female classmate and I were arranged to go to the lower city area to distribute food and some penicillin to the corner girls."
"You know, when they do that kind of work, they will inevitably get sick.
But medical care in the empire is not cheap. In order to save money, or maybe because of laziness...most of them don't go to the doctor."
"And food and penicillin will be of great help to them."
"That's the good thing about the choir - even though the choir is full of bastards who eat people without spitting out their bones, in order to maintain their holy image, they will always show mercy to the poor."
Chen Yan whispered: "Do you want to go to a place like a dirty street with a girl?"
Green shook his head: "Of course not... Mr. Chen, you may have some misunderstandings about the corner girls in Yanan City - although they are collectively called corner girls, some of them are not in the corner buildings in the lower city.
"
He said a number in a very calm tone.
"One-third of the women in Yanan City are corner girls."
"They not only exist in the lower town, but some also live in the upper town.
They are not just poor people with a miserable fate and no fixed abode, there are also some who are lucky enough to become canaries for the rich.
Some even got lucky and relied on their innate talents to become actors in the opera house."
Green made an "8" sign with his hand.
"For eight shillings, you can make those young girls, actresses who sing in the most upscale theaters in Yanam City, become your husband and wife for one night."
8 shillings...that's 960 pence.
What a huge sum of money.
Chen Yan thought of the young girls who had nothing to do in the streets and alleys when he passed by the city center.
They were dressed enchantingly and dressed coolly even in the winter.
Chen Yan originally thought that they just loved beauty and shopping.
"It's a shock, Mr. Chen. I was also shocked at the time."
Green squinted his eyes, wondering where his thoughts were wandering.
"The area we are responsible for providing relief is a small neighborhood in the Lower City. It is close to the industrial area and is not as chaotic as the dirty streets...
Mission schools are subject to public supervision, and they dare not place us in places like dirty streets, because if something happens to us, they cannot afford the pressure of public opinion."
"I met some corner girls...it was bound to happen."
"I am as curious as you are now, Mr. Chen. I chatted with them, and they were happy to chat with a handsome, knowledgeable, pure virgin from a missionary school."
Seeing Chen Yan's eyes gradually changing, Green immediately returned to the topic.
"To my surprise, they didn't mind speaking out about their experiences."
