This was almost enough to take half of Grandma's old life, and you want to do it every few days?
A Jiu sat in the corner of the yard, propping up her chin and looking at the thatched toilet in the southwest corner.
This rain was both good and bad. For example, Mother said they could sell the spiritual spring water, but no one would buy it at a high price anymore.
Cai Lihua's bowel movement lasted for more than two hours.
When she came out, she was supported by Meng Shaode. Her complexion was extremely sallow.
"I'm fine. You go take care of our daughter and don't let her worry." Cai Lihua pushed Meng Shaode away and picked up the wooden bucket herself to fetch rainwater from the缸 for cleaning.
"Miss A Jiu, someone is looking for you."
Tong Zi in the front hall shouted towards the backyard.
"Dad, I'll go take a look." A Jiu hurried to the front hall and saw several constables. Among them, Yun Hao was the most familiar.
Perhaps they were here to deliver a message.
A Jiu led them into the clinic and then asked, "Brother Yun Hao, how is my Grandma?"
"Your Grandma is fine. Lord Wang has also prepared some food and wine." Yun Hao grinned, and it seemed there was no major problem.
"That's good." A Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm here with a few brothers to ask you to give them acupuncture." Yun Hao then called out, "Da Yuan, you guys come in. Miss A Jiu's needles are particularly effective."
A Jiu was stunned. Before she could react, the constable named Da Yuan came in and said politely, "Miss A Jiu, you really have to take a look at me. I injured my ear five years ago, and this ear has always been hard of hearing."
"Me too. My finger was broken, and old Mr. Liu fixed it for me before. Now it's numb." The fat man behind him eagerly extended his hand.
A Jiu took a look and couldn't help but sigh at old Mr. Liu's medical skills; he could fix it even like this.
A Jiu asked them to sit down and come one by one. This time, she was much more proficient and directly selected needles of different sizes without thinking.
After a few needles, Da Yuan walked away happily, covering his right ear and exposing his left ear, "Yun Hao, call me."
Meanwhile, A Jiu had started needling the fat man. "Your finger is in the same condition as those of the jailers. You must not have recovered properly afterward, so your meridians are blocked."
"Isn't that true? I had just taken office that year, and I wanted to perform well," the fat man said truthfully.
"After I finish needling, you should still use some plaster to prevent recurrence," A Jiu instructed as she removed the needles.
Actually, she only knew acupuncture and not how to mix medicine. She just remembered that her sister-in-law had arranged it like this last time.
"I can hear you. Miss A Jiu, your needles are truly miraculous." Da Yuan happily ran back. He found that he could still hear even when covering his other ear from a distance, which meant the treatment was successful.
"Miss A Jiu, your medical skills are superb. This guy is very wealthy. Just name your price for the consultation fee." Yun Hao added fuel to the fire from the side.
Tong Zi, who had been peeking from outside,'s eyes lit up.
"I don't know the regulations for consultation fees. Brother Tong Zi, what do you think is appropriate?" A Jiu put away her needle bag, feeling a little uneasy.
She had never thought about earning money by learning ear acupuncture. She had been worrying about how to make money just now.
But considering she was living in her sister-in-law's clinic, and now her parents had moved in, it would be too embarrassing to collect consultation fees privately.
"Ding dong! Merit points increased by five, merit points increased by five, your total score is sixty-one points."
A Jiu smiled silently, wondering what surprise awaited her when she reached one hundred points.
"This way, please." Tong Zi's eyes lit up as he led them to the counter. "The consultation fee at Hualan Medical Clinic has always been five wen. Prescribing a formula is five wen, and the medicinal ingredients are calculated separately."
"Good, good, good." Da Yuan said "good" three times in a row and happily took out five wen coins and placed them on the table. "And a few more pieces of plaster."
Tong Zi's face regained its former smile. "Okay, please wait. It will be twelve wen in total."
After seeing off the constables, A Jiu walked out of the clinic.
Tong Zi held the copper coins in his hand, listening to the clinking sound. "Miss A Jiu, we've finally made some income. Sister Cai'er will be overjoyed when she returns."
A Jiu smiled, her eyes like stars.
Just then, there was a sudden commotion in the street outside the gate. The crowd of common people scattered like waves. "The refugees are rioting! Run!"
