Siheyuan: What bad intentions could a veterinarian like me have?

Chapter 7 Do you want to say that you can do it too?

"It should, it should!"

Hearing Li Xiangdong say this, Yi Zhonghai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This guy asked for the consultation fee, which meant that Dongxu's matter was over. Thinking of how he was choked when he tried to control him just now, he suppressed his uneasiness and prepared to take money from his pocket, and asked gently: "I just don't know, Xiao Li...how much is the consultation fee this time?"

Hearing this, Li Xiangdong smiled slightly, "No more, no less, 88 cents!"

"I'll give you one!" Yi Zhonghai took out a dollar and stuffed it into Li Xiangdong's hand without hesitation. He was really afraid that this kid would say something shocking and embarrass him.

After putting the money in his pocket, Li Xiangdong picked up the small medicine box and silently looked at Yi Zhonghai. His eyes swept across the whole audience, setting the tone for the future. "My Li family is not a family of veterinarians, but rules are rules. Neighbors, please be more tolerant. Craftsmen earn their livings by their skills, and it is not shameful to ask for money. Sorry for that!"

In the past, the city of Sijiu was full of dignitaries, royal palaces and wealthy families. It was home to the most prominent people in the entire country. They had numerous carriages and carriages at home, and many tall and fine horses. Ordinary people who had a little bit of means also had donkey carts and ox carts at home. Livestock are bound to get sick, and animals are bound to reproduce. Relying on these livestock in the city of Sijiu, the Li family once lived a worry-free and prosperous life.

When visiting wealthy families and the homes of local gentry for medical consultation, the consultation fee will naturally not be small.

Work well and get extra time!
If you have good medical skills, you will not be short of medical fees and will naturally receive a lot of tips.

Ordinary people also cook their animals according to their condition.

The Li family would charge consultation fees based on the amount of energy expended and medicine used, based on their experience.

Of course, the Li family would not ask for money without permission, nor would they encounter poor people in need who insisted on asking for money. It was common for them to waive the money.

But the Li family has always followed the general rules.

As our ancestors said, veterinary work such as castrating pigs and donkeys all affects the natural balance of the world. The Li family must bear the consequences of killing and collecting medical fees. This unclear retribution is borne by the Li family, who are taking the blame for the host family.

Li Xiangdong didn't want to say much to the people in the courtyard, but what he wanted to tell these people was.

Don't try to cheat me or get anything for free from me. It all depends on my mood. Treatment costs money, and how much it costs depends on fate.

If word gets out that there's a doctor in Hongxing Siheyuan who treats patients for free, and I still have to pay for the medicine, isn't that unfair?
A thankless task!

If you really encounter difficulties and cannot afford to pay, that’s another matter. I, Li Xiangdong, am not an unkind person.

But don’t even think about getting it for free.

I, Li Xiangdong, am a good doctor. I want both fame and livelihood.

What's more, Li Xiangdong didn't believe that he could not make a name for himself in this poor era by relying on the traditional Chinese medicine technology that would win international awards in the future.

Sure enough, after hearing what Li Xiangdong said, the eyes of the neighbors around him who were eager to try and have him check their problems for free began to flicker.

After all, the fact that he handled such a difficult minor operation like Jia Dongxu's was enough to demonstrate the excellence of his medical skills.

"Hey, Xiao Li, don't say that. You guys are really a jack of all trades. I've seen your skills! You are really good at treating beasts!" Liu Haizhong put his hands behind his back, spit flying on his fat face, and patted Li Xiangdong's shoulder respectfully.

"Nonsense, my brother Dong must have something!" Xu Damao laughed and sat aside putting on his socks.

Humph, I think he has something, but definitely not much!
Sha Zhu turned his face away with disdain. What ability could a veterinarian like him have? It was just a blind cat catching a dead mouse!

Especially when he saw Qin Huairu looking at Li Xiangdong with gratitude, Sha Zhu felt numb all over, and his heart was sour and unhappy.

So Sha Zhu stiffened his neck and said contemptuously: "Is that all? I don't think it's a big deal, it's just this and then that and it's over!"

"Haha!" Li Xiangdong paused and looked back at him, "Silly Zhu, are you thinking that you can do it too?"

“……”Shazhu was stunned, scratched his head awkwardly and rolled his eyes.

"Hahaha!" Xu Damao, Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangqi around him all laughed.

Yi Zhonghai glared at Sha Zhu, walked up to him and asked carefully: "Well, Xiangdong, Dongxu just left his foot like that? Do you need us to do anything?" It was freezing cold, and the foot covered with disinfectant powder was frozen purple.

"Haha," Li Xiangdong smiled upon hearing that and looked at Sha Zhu, "Sha Zhu, you don't want your brother to have any sequelae, do you?"

"..."Sha Zhu looked at him with an unpleasant expression. He didn't know whether to answer or not.

"Uncle, please send it to the Sixth Hospital on a flatbed truck!" Li Xiangdong didn't even look at him and started giving instructions to Yi Zhonghai.

"Do we still need to go to the hospital?" Sha Zhu jumped suddenly and blurted out almost subconsciously.

"Look at you. You say that you don't want Dongxu to get into trouble, but what's the reality? I asked you to send him to the hospital so that the nurse can bandage him and deal with him as you would with a human being, like using bandages and protective plates. I don't have any bandages, and those things are only for dealing with animals. Since we're trying to save a life, we'll just have to save him to the end!" Li Xiangdong grinned and walked away.

Sha Zhu was speechless, but he had no way to refute what Li Xiangdong said.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but nodded and said, "Xiangdong's arrangements are very thoughtful. He is right. His things are indeed a bit rough!"

As he said this, he patted Sha Zhu on the shoulder and discussed with Liu Haizhong about borrowing a flatbed truck.

"Xiao Li, thank you so much!"

At this time, the young wife Qin Huairu, who had been in a daze, came back to her senses, came over and bowed with gratitude in her eyes, and there was already some admiration in her eyes.

"No need. I said it's not a big problem. I know what's going on! Just trust me!" Li Xiangdong waved his hand, raised his foot to make way, and after taking two steps, he suddenly asked in surprise, "Hey, Sister Qin, did Dongxu fall down from this staircase because he stepped on a nail?"

He pointed at the wooden ladder at the foot of Shazhu and turned his head in confusion.

Sha Zhu's whole body trembled and his face became a little stiff.

Qin Huairu held the child and sobbed sadly for a few times, then nodded and said, "Yes, Dongxu used this wooden ladder to get on the roof..."

"Whose ladder is this?"

Qin Huairu was stunned and said blankly: "This is...Shazhu's!"

Sha Zhu's expression froze again.

"Have you caught the mouse?" Li Xiangdong asked again with a smile.

Xu Damao stretched his head out from under the eaves and looked at the roof. He scratched his head and said, "There is a chicken-feathered mouse in the middle of winter. How strange!"

Qin Huairu shook her head, "I don't know either!"

Li Xiangdong smiled knowingly and glanced at Sha Zhu vaguely, "Tsk tsk, Brother Jia's house is a bit weird! And the rats are the same, they come out to steal in the middle of winter! Aren't they afraid of being seen?"

After saying that, he went straight into the house.

Shazhu stood in the crowd, his face as black as a pot lid.

The speaker has no intention and the listener has the intention.

Yi Zhonghai turned his head and looked at Sha Zhu's sudden silence, as if thinking about something.

The yard suddenly became lively again, with people talking, borrowing cars, and carrying people, all having a great time.

Li Xiangdong returned home and quickly put down his first aid box. He couldn't wait to enter the Lingquan Secret Realm to take a look.
