Madame Bovary Reborn

Charles passed the exam for his pharmacist license, which was the smoothest exam in his years of study. His self-confidence has soared, and he has more confidence in doing things than before.Emma was also very happy. She went to the second-hand market to find a large medicine cabinet, and asked Louise to carefully disinfect it. In addition to scalding it with boiling water, she also wiped it with alcohol. After two days of drying, she moved back to the small consultation room , specially placed some commonly used medicines and reagents.In the future, Dr. Bovary will be able to prescribe medicine and take medicine at the same time. The news will explode!Toth's pharmacist was called Benoit, and he always looked down on Dr. Bovary. Whenever a patient brought a prescription to him to get the medicine, he always satirized it completely, and he even had the audacity to try to change the prescription without authorization.Of course the patients would not let him succeed.

Charles is an honest person, which means that he is also honest when it comes to curing diseases and saving lives. He is not greedy for merit or quick success. He uses books as the standard in everything, obeys the teacher's advice, and regards the notebooks he used as a standard when he was in school.So he has never learned those little tricks, such as deliberately asking for more consultation fees, prescribing all kinds of messy and meaningless examinations, not to mention discussing with the local pharmacist like some doctors, always recommending patients to choose expensive drugs , and then share it privately with the pharmacist.This is probably why Benoit hates doctors so much.

Hearing that Mr. Bovary was in such a desperate situation, Benoit was angry and anxious, but he dared not say a word about the business license issued by the government.His wife, Dinah, was a smart woman. Seeing her husband so worried, she asked him about his troubles.Hearing that the doctor took a step forward, she couldn't help but feel cold. She knows her own family affairs, and of course she knows her husband's habits. Unfortunately, she can't get divorced and remarried. Now the family's food is gone. Wind, that's all for nothing, but my son, little Florent, wants to continue his studies!Just like all women who are disappointed in their husbands, Dana puts everything in her life on her son.

Dana racked her brains and thought for a long time, then got up and packed a few fresh and popular laces. This is her specialty, and she often relies on selling them in the city to supplement her family income. Madame Bovary.Emma is at home accounting for this year's grape harvest with Pardo, and asking when the eighteen barrels of wine for one year will open the cellar.The wheat and sugar beets have been harvested and sold. They are still customers that Emma contacted when she was at home. Father Luo and Teresa went to check the account personally. It’s a good time to recharge and take the opportunity to pay less for the goods.Because 9 acres of grapes were planted this year, the income from wheat and sugar beets was reduced, and the money handed over to Emma was only [-] francs.But Emma knew in her heart that she should have only [-] francs, and the remaining [-] francs were supplemented by her parents.Emma planned to give Nino a big red envelope when she returned to the farm at the end of the year for the New Year.Pardo said that he plans to brew new wine at the end of September, and the cellar will be opened at that time.Sir York probably came over at this time, and Pardo followed him to sell wine in the city.

Emma was about to say something, and Louise reported the news of Mrs. Benoit's visit.Pardo was taken by Carla to the garden to see the growth of the grapes, and Emma sat on the sofa and waited for the guests.Although Dinah had never met Madame Bovary, she had heard something about her.Miss Berto Grange!She came in and saluted politely. Emma saw that she was neither humble nor overbearing, but she looked much cuter than Benoit.So Emma smiled and asked her to sit down, and Louise brought coffee and dessert as usual.Dana took a sip from the cup, restrained herself first, and just said that she should have visited earlier, and presented her present together.Emma listened to it for a long time, opened it, and couldn't help but her eyes lit up: what a bright and delicate work!

Dana observed her expression carefully, and said: "We did this in our free time, if you like..." She is more than ten years older than Emma, ​​and they are of the same status, but she is so calm when she talks about you Ziruo, although respectful and polite, is not blindly flattering.Emma admired her demeanor in her heart, gently put the gift aside, and said first: "I also know the reason for your visit, it is because my husband obtained a pharmacist's license, although it may indeed delay Mr. Benoit's pharmacy a little bit." business, but there are often people who go directly to the pharmacy to buy medicines without seeing a doctor.” Her words can be regarded as heartfelt, and the use of over-the-counter medicines is not too much, but it is definitely not a lot.It's not too difficult to survive piecemeal.Dana knew what she said, and smiled wryly: "People don't trust my husband." Although Mr. Benoit monopolized Toth's pharmacy, he was a caring, profit-seeking person, and was never welcomed by others.This time I can get the medicine from Mr. Bovary, who will care about Mr. Benoit!This is not to destroy her prestige, Dana knew it clearly in her heart, in order to plan early.After hearing her words, Emma couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.It's a pity that such a sensible and intelligent woman should marry a short-sighted man.Sympathy is all sympathy, Emma cannot suspend the original plan. Since Dr. Bovary has obtained a pharmacist license, he will naturally have the right to sell medicines in the future, although their original intention is to seek convenience for the dispensing of medicines.

Dana already knew that this matter would not cause others to regress too much, so she seriously thought about the countermeasures, even if there were some sacrifices, it didn't matter.She gritted her teeth and said, "We want to ask the doctor to come to our pharmacy for a consultation. You may not know that we have a big consulting room, which is very spacious and bright..." After hearing this, Emma knew that what she said was that her own consulting room was too narrow Well, oh, this is indeed a problem.Only Dinah continued to say: "Let my husband help the doctor, he is sure to be obedient." Speaking lightly, Emma didn't give her a clear answer, but only said that she would discuss it with Mr. Bovary.Dinah did not express any disappointment either. It would be strange if Madame Bovary agreed immediately.Since she is willing to consider it, it means that there will be opportunities in the future.The lace is so beautiful, Emma asked Louise to put a bottle of the banana jam and blueberry jam that she just made early in the morning, and take them back to Mrs. Benoit. She said that you can eat walnut bread with some salt and butter, which tastes the best. .

After sending off the pharmacist's wife, Emma sent someone to call her husband.Sure enough, Charles didn't quite understand the situation in Benoit's place, but when it came to the spacious and bright consulting room, Charles had some impressions, because he had seen pharmacists in it consulting patients and even prescribing medicines.If it weren't for the pharmacist asking too much every time the lion opened his mouth, maybe he would win over some regular patients.Emma's eyes lit up. This was Mr. Benoit's trick. He dared to prescribe medicine without a medical license. If the authorities found out, he would be sentenced.Emma asked Charles if he wanted to move to a more spacious consulting room, and of course Charles said yes.It would be better to put down a few more beds. He is quite famous now, and more and more patients are visiting. In addition to the waiting room, the consultation beds are also vacant.

Emma told Pardo to study hard with Sir York, and asked Kara to pack the silver riding whip she had prepared for her father, the shell cosmetic box for Teresa and a lot of colorful toys into the box, Instruct Pardo to take it back, and promise to let Louise and Kara go back to help when brewing wine.After seeing Pardo off, Emma went to the pharmacy to inspect it herself. Seeing is believing. The room is clean, not small, well-equipped, and the location is great. Everything fits her needs.If Mrs. Benoit can really become the master of pharmacists, then she can consider taking over this pharmacy.

Dinah received a letter from Madame Bovary in the evening, and she replied almost without hesitation the next morning.Benoit could not help being furious when he heard the Bovary family's plan, and had a big quarrel with his wife, but Dinah's attitude was very firm. She could endure everything when he could make money. Now there is no way out, and she can no longer Put up with him.Little Florent also sided with his mother, so Mr. Benoit had to surrender. It was no problem to sublet the pharmacy to the doctor's house, but he didn't want to help that idiot.Dana didn't intend to take care of him, but she also declared that she would not give him a sou, because her son had to pay school fees.Benoit bluffed and was completely dumbfounded.

Charles obeyed his wife's arrangement and hired a few people to move the odds and ends of the small clinic at home to the pharmacy.Facing his new employer, Benoit was very helpless, but he also came to help with a dark face.Charles didn't learn how to be a master, and still addressed him politely as Mr. Benoit finally looked better.Dana decided to find a painter to replace the sign of Benoit Pharmacy with Bovary Clinic. Emma felt that Mrs. Benoit was a talent, and felt that under her supervision, the pharmacist should not be able to come up with any new tricks.Emma originally planned to continue renting the pharmacy, but then she thought that there was no good investment channel for the money in her hand, so she negotiated with the owner of the pharmacy and wanted to buy it. Even if the land price does not rise, she can continue to collect rent when she goes to Rong Town in the future, and harm nothing.It was not a small deal, and it was settled after several discussions, but fortunately it was affordable, and in the end it cost [-] francs.Although she was also given a small vacant lot near the pharmacy, Emma's dowry, the new income from the estate, and the recipe for the toddler pills had all been spent, and she now had only about a thousand francs left.And Mr. Bovary never cared about the family's financial accounts, and this transaction was extremely confidential, so Emma made the decision on her own.Grandma Bovary came to see her son, and she couldn't help being very angry when she saw her daughter-in-law domineering at home, controlling and neglecting her son everywhere.
