Every time she goes to the city, Ye Chuqiu is always a little worried. She is always worried that she will meet Lin Qingchuan.
Therefore, when she went to the city this time, she specially put on a hat, a veil, and gloves to cover up the small birthmark on her hand. She thought that even if she met Lin Qingchuan, he wouldn't be able to recognize it.
"Dahu, I'll leave the house to you. Mom went to the city to buy saplings." Before leaving, Ye Chuqiu told Lin Dahu and went down the mountain.
She asked Lin Erhu to drive out the carriage at home. Now only Lin Sihu in the family needed more carriages. But when Lin Sihu was a teenager, even if he got up early every day, ran to school and came back at night, he would not be very tired.
, just think of it as exercising.
An Heqing, on the other hand, looked very sick. Even if he practiced Wu Qin Xi for a few days, how much could his body recover after practicing Wu Qin Xi for a few days? The lost vitality was not so easy to recover, so Ye Chuqiu specially let him
Lin Erhu drove a carriage to see him off. Wherever he wanted to go, he took the carriage to save him from walking.
Ye Chuqiu went down the mountain and walked quickly on the road. Along the way, he saw many people collecting medicinal materials.
Although there was not much Artemisia annua left on both sides of the road for them to collect, they still took the trouble to search over and over again. After all, it cost twenty cents per catty. Where could they find such a good thing? Of course they had to seize the opportunity.
.
"Mother, mother~"
As she was walking, admiring the scenery on both sides of the road, Ye Chuqiu suddenly heard someone calling her. She turned her head and saw a carriage coming from behind. It stopped beside her and saw Lin Er.
Tiger's face appeared in front of her, "Mom, it's really you. I was worried that I had mistakenly admitted the wrong person."
"My mother is wearing a hat and a mask. How did you recognize my mother?" Ye Chuqiu couldn't help but ask, is it possible that the Lin family is gifted?
"I recognize my mother's hat." Lin Erhu said, "You often wore this hat before. When I looked at the similar figure, I thought it was you."
"Oh, that's it." Ye Chuqiu nodded slightly and glanced at him again, "Where are you going? Have you investigated clearly the matters regarding the medicinal materials in the city these days? Are those drug dealers up to something?
"
"Mom, come up first, let's talk slowly."
Lin Erhu said to her, and moved away to make room for her. Ye Chuqiu jumped on the carriage and sat next to him.
Lin Erhu waited for her to sit firmly, then waved his horsewhip, and while driving the horse, he said to Ye Chuqiu: "You are right, it is these drug dealers who are doing something wrong. Now the drugs in the city to treat cold and hot diseases,
The price has increased a lot, and now a medicine costs fifty cents. Dr. An improved the prescription before to save everyone money, and he wanted everyone to be able to afford the medicine, but these profiteers have to make the medicine more affordable.
The price of medicinal materials has increased.
Dr. An first went to the city to dissuade the drug dealers from buying medicinal materials at high prices. Not only did the drug dealers not listen to him, they also ridiculed us. Later, Dr. An advised everyone not to sell the medicinal materials to them. He wanted everyone to
They all unite, but still no one listens to him."
"These people are just trying to make money, so of course they won't listen to him." Ye Chuqiu shook his head and said, "Anyway, their illnesses have been cured by Dr. An, so they won't care about others anymore."
"Well, when Dr. An treated them before, they didn't have money to pay for the medicine. Dr. An didn't even want to make money from them, so he told everyone that he would just pay five cents for the medicine. If they didn't have money, he would
One pound of medicinal materials can also be used to offset the cost of medicine.
At that time, no one was willing to give money and would rather give medicinal materials. I also helped Dr. An keep the accounts. But this time when Dr. An went to them to ask for medicinal materials, these people were unwilling to give them and even called Dr. An sanctimonious and a hypocrite.
, scolding him just for money and not worthy of being a doctor. He asked them for twenty cents a pound of medicinal materials when the medicine cost five cents. He was just crazy about money.
In the end, many people joined in and scolded Dr. An, and some even threw five cents at Dr. An. This time Dr. An was very sad."
Lin Erhu said, his heart filled with anger, but more importantly, he felt worthless for Dr. An. Ye Chuqiu did not see that scene at that time. A group of people surrounded Dr. An, insulting him, and some even took advantage of him.
The coin hit him, and Dr. An was so angry that his beard was trembling. At that time, he wanted to rush over and beat him, but unfortunately he was stopped by Dr. An.
Later, Dr. An lowered his head, picked up the copper plate on the ground, and said to him: With this money, we can buy a lot of medicinal materials, which can be used to treat diseases of those who cannot afford medicinal materials.
Thinking of this, Lin Erhu's eyes turned red again, "Actually, Dr. An asked them for medicinal materials, not for himself at all, he just wanted to use these medicinal materials to save more people.
The profiteers in the city are hoarding medicinal materials and want to make a lot of money from the sick people. Dr. An just wants to treat people who can't afford the medicinal materials. What's wrong with him? Why do these people treat him like this? It's obvious
They were also grateful to him before."
"Erhu, you don't have to be angry, this is human nature."
Ye Chuqiu comforted him softly, "People are like this. They only care about their own interests. How many of them would abandon their own interests to safeguard the interests of others? This is something even a mother can't do.
So I say Dr. An is noble because even though he knows that human nature is like this, he will still save them, and he will still move forward without hesitation, because he never asks for anything in return for everything he does. He only follows his own heart and gets the blessings of his soul.
peaceful.
So Erhu, don't be aggrieved. Although the common people don't remember everything you have done, your merit books have long been recorded by gods and Buddhas.
Moreover, I believe that not everyone has no conscience, there are always people who remember, right? There are always people who are willing to give you medicinal materials, but instead of remembering these people, you remember the bad people, because
Those people are angry and indignant.
From my mother's point of view, you should see the good side, see that although they are poor, they still remember their promises, you should remember those people."
Hearing Ye Chuqiu's words, Lin Erhu felt that a clear spring flowed through his heart, washing his soul again.
The same was true for An Heqing, who was sitting in the carriage.
He was actually very angry, frustrated, and sad before, so he didn't say a word.
But now, after hearing Ye Chuqiu's words, he realized that in Ye Chuqiu's eyes, he was actually so noble.
He stopped being angry all of a sudden. Yes, he has lived for so many years, hasn’t he seen this clearly yet?
When he saved them, he never thought that he had to ask them for medicinal materials. He just wanted to save them. He just thought that while he was doing good things, he couldn't break the rules and provide people with a kind of healer.
He should have the image of not taking anything, so he made the conditions.
But now, he wants more, so he shouldn't be angry. If he doesn't give it, he won't give it. If there is no medicine, the worst he can do is go to the city and save a few people.
Without him, An Heqing, the world would still be the same world, and Dunchuan would still be the same Dunchuan. Even if he had enough medicinal materials, the number of people he could save would be limited.
"Mrs. Lin, listening to you is worth ten years of reading." An Heqing, who had been sitting in the carriage, finally said.
"You are very complimentary. I wish I could help you." Ye Chuqiu replied.
In her opinion, An Heqing aged prematurely because he had too many things in his heart and thought too much.
"Your words have helped me a lot." An Heqing replied, pretending to laugh heartily, and then said: "I was the one who got into the phase before. In fact, I am not that noble. I have always been for everyone before.
He refused to return the medicinal materials to me and even insulted me to make me angry."
"Of course you should be angry, but I would be even more angry." Ye Chuqiu said, looking at Lin Erhu, "Erhu, when you helped Dr. An keep accounts, did you ask them to sign and sign?"
"Yes." Lin Erhu nodded.
He had been doing business for several months, and Ye Chuqiu also taught them by words and deeds, telling them that words should not be backed up and always leave evidence. Therefore, he asked those people to sign and sign, but Doctor An did not take it to heart at that time.
Even the people who had their fingerprints laid on them didn’t take it seriously at that time.
"Since there is a signature and a guarantee, let's go get the medicinal materials back." Ye Chuqiu said.
"Ah?" Lin Erhu was stunned.
"Ah what? Although Mom just said a lot of truth, it is just for comforting you. It does not mean that it is right for them to do that. It is obviously signed and signed, and it is obviously agreed by myself.
Now that I see the price of medicinal materials has increased, I don’t want to give it to them anymore. How in the world can such a thing be justified?”
Ye Chuqiu said, and ordered Lin Erhu, "Bring the account book, turn the horse's head, and mother will go find them to settle the accounts."
"Mrs. Lin, it's no need. I don't take this matter to heart anymore, and I don't want to see them again." An Heqing said.
"Dr. An, I know what you are thinking. You have always been noble, so naturally you will not take these little things to heart. But if you think about it, if you don't care, you will only encourage the arrogance of these people. This will be detrimental to those who gave you the medicinal materials.
Isn’t it a kind of harm to people?
These people who gave you the medicinal materials may face criticism from their own families when they return home, and may also be called stupid by others. Can you bear to see people with conscience being criticized instead?
Therefore, you should hold those people accountable. In this way, those people will know that they are responsible for their signatures and pledges. They will also know that a person must have integrity. They will pay for the medicinal materials with every word of spit and nail.
You have to honor it. You are kind and don't care. This is not a reason for them to regret it!
What's more, if you take these medicinal materials and go to the city, won't you be able to save more people? When the time comes, you can let these people take the medicinal materials to pay for the medicine. In this way, you can save the patients in the city as much as possible.
If you are saved, isn’t this a great merit?”
After listening to Ye Chuqiu's words, An Heqing suddenly realized that what she said made sense.
But he didn't notice that there were contradictions in what Ye Chuqiu said.
What Ye Chuqiu said before was to coax him. She only needed to convince him that he was willing to go to trouble with those people. Of course, even if An Heqing was unwilling to pursue the case, she would never let her family and friends be bullied like this.
