Chapter 261 That Child is Very Stubborn
After hearing this, Li's mother said anxiously, "How can you say such a thing? This is an opportunity. We don't need you to worry about us. Just go."
Li Qing stiffened his neck and said, "My brothers and sisters are still young. Who will do the housework? What about the work in the fields? What about your health?"
After hearing this, Li's mother said, "We don't need you to worry about us. Just go. I can't drag you down any longer."
Li Qing just didn't want to stop talking.
Shopkeeper Li persuaded him, "Li Qing, it would be useful for you to be a medicine boy. Didn't you like studying medicine in the past? Now is an opportunity. Don't look at Doctor Jin as a woman, her medical skills are rare.
We don't have a locust plague here. You don't know that the potion for the locust plague was developed by Doctor Jin. The emperor just gave him a reward for controlling the locust plague, don't you know that?"
Li Qing said in shock, "You are actually Doctor Jin?"
Jin Yuyao nodded: "I am."
The expression on Li Qing's face was one of embarrassment and anxiety. Jin Yuyao knew that the young man must be unsure of what decision to make.
Mother Li said, "I'm sorry, Doctor Jin doesn't have any tea leaves at home. Would you like some water?"
Seeing Mother Li's expression, he said, "No need, sister-in-law, don't take it too seriously. My life before was not much better than yours now, but I've also been through it, haven't I? By the way, sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"
Mother Li said, "Doctor Jin had his share of hard times before. I never expected this to happen. This is an old problem. My health has been getting worse day by day since I gave birth. I've seen doctors before, and they all said I was too weak and the medicine I took didn't work.
I just want to not be a burden to them and watch them grow up."
Jin Yuyao said, "I'm here today so I can show you."
Mother Li was obviously a little embarrassed and asked, "How could I trouble you with Doctor Jin's visit?"
Jin Yuyao said, "It's okay. I just want to see what's wrong with your body. Do you not trust me or think my medical skills are not good enough?"
After hearing this, Li's mother was so excited that she almost stood up and said, "Doctor Jin, that's not what I meant. Believe me, I really didn't mean that."
After saying that, he glanced at the shopkeeper Li next to him and said, "Brother, please explain to Doctor Jin that this is not what I meant. I...is..."
Jin Yuyao smiled and said, "I know you're worried about not having enough money to pay for the consultation. It's okay, I'll give it to you for free this time."
"Then why are you so embarrassed?"
After saying this, he stood up and took Li's mother's pulse.
Mother Li wanted to refuse, but Shopkeeper Li persuaded her for a few words before she extended her hand.
Jin Yuyao looked at the pulse and knew that the baby had been in poor health for too long. With so many children, all the food must have been eaten by the children, causing him to be malnourished.
Jin Yuyao said, "Your body just needs to be replenished with nutrients, and you need to recuperate for a while as you've lost too much energy from giving birth."
After she finished speaking, she saw Li Qing looking at Doctor Jin with an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Jin Yuyao said: "I will ask Manager Li to send you some medicinal herbs when I return. Li Qing, have you ever thought that you can also help your family with the money you earn and buy nutritional supplements for your mother and your brothers and sisters?
Your mother is obviously malnourished."
Seeing that Mother Li was very tired, she stood up and said, "I see you are tired, so we will leave now."
After saying that, he stood up and said goodbye.
Mother Li stood up and said, "Doctor Jin, I'm so sorry for making you come here for nothing. It's just that little bastard was so disobedient. I'm so sorry for letting you down."
After saying this, tears started flowing again.
Li Qing felt very distressed when he saw his mother's tears.
Jin Yuyao said, "If you're not feeling well, don't come out. We'll take our leave then."
After saying this, he and Shopkeeper Li walked into the yard.
Wen Zhu couldn't help but say, "Since we're all here, isn't Li Qing a bit ungrateful? This is clearly for their own good."
Jin Yuyao said: "Everyone has their own aspirations. We can't force others to do things they don't want to do."
Wenzhu said, "I just think you're so easy to talk to."
Jin Yuyao smiled and said, "Even if I force them to agree, what will happen? If he goes there but his mind isn't focused on it, it could be bad if the herbs are mixed up."
Wenzhu said, "What you said seems to make sense."
Shopkeeper Li said, "I'm sorry, Doctor Jin, it's so cold, and the road must be difficult to walk on. I didn't expect this child to be so stubborn."
They have just walked out of your yard and are walking on the streets of the village.
Jin Yuyao smiled and said, "How can you be so sure that Li Qing won't come?"
Wen Zhu said, "Didn't Li Qing say that if he left, there would be no one to take care of his younger siblings and his mother?"
Jin Yuyao smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a voice from behind: "Doctor Jin, wait a moment."
Jin Yuyao and the other two turned around and saw Li Qing running towards them, panting.
Shopkeeper Li said with a bad face, "Li Qing, why are you here? We have to hurry up or it will be dark soon."
Li Qing said, "Excuse me, uncle and Doctor Jin came out specially to ask you, I want to go to the clinic now, are you still willing to take me?"
Shopkeeper Liu said, "You didn't want to when I came to you just now, so why do you think it through now?"
Li Qing said: "I have seen that Doctor Jin's medical skills are really good. The doctors who came before all said that my mother was like this, but only Doctor Jin said that if she took good care of her mother, she would be fine. I was worried that there would be no one to take care of her at home, but my sister said that she would take care of my younger siblings after I left.
Besides, our family can't continue living like this, otherwise you will still be looked down upon in the village. I have decided to follow you to the clinic."
Jin Yuyao said: "What if you regret it one day? I can't train someone and then just leave. I have to sign a contract with you. Otherwise, I will train you for a long time and then you will leave.
Then my efforts would be in vain, wouldn’t they?”
Li Qing said: "You can rest assured that I will never do that. I am not that kind of person."
Jin Yuyao said: "We apprentices also have monthly silver, so how can you guarantee that you will always be here?"
Her words stumped Li Qing. He scratched his head, not knowing what to do.
Jin Yuyao said, "How about we sign a contract? That means you can't leave during the term of the contract, and if you breach the contract, you need to compensate me."
Shopkeeper Li didn't expect Jin Yuyao to sign a contract with Li Qing. He didn't know what it was.
He said, "Doctor Jin, are you asking him to sell his body?"
