Chapter 37 - Chapter 36. Isn't It Expensive?

"I say, young comrade. You're a doctor. You can't do this! When serving the people, you can't be emotional!"

"Old comrade, don't flatter me. I'm not a doctor at all. I'm just a student. As for serving the people, it also depends on different people. There are also class enemies within the masses. I keep my eyes wide open and won't let class enemies take advantage of the situation." Ethan said bluntly.

"Uh... I... I won't talk to you anymore! First, help me to the toilet. Let's talk about serving the people and class enemies when we come back. I don't believe today that I will be defeated by you." Oliver said to Ethan.

"Now if you beg me, I will treat you! How about that? If my guess is correct, you, old comrade, have blood in your urine already. Your body can't afford such trouble." Seeing the old man so stubborn, Ethan gave him a way out.

"Beg you? Wishful thinking! When I was making revolution in the old days, I didn't give in even in the face of the Japanese devils' guillotine. Bow to you? Little brat, don't dream about it! Humph!" With that, without needing anyone's support, he directly stood up and walked towards the toilet.

"All right... old comrade! You win! I lose, okay? I will treat you!" Ethan didn't dare to let him be so reckless, otherwise something really bad would happen.

"This old guy has always been this stubborn. No wonder you have stayed in Sunny County for more than thirty years! Many of your contemporaries are now top leaders."

"I'm happy to stay in Sunny County for thirty years! Serving the people in Sunny County, hum!" Oliver retorted to that person.

"Please be quiet, old man! If you keep talking so much, I won't care, kid!" Ethan said.

This time Oliver really shut his mouth.

Afterwards, Ethan directly started to massage the old man!

First, it was the lower abdomen, then the back, and finally the whole head!

Although it was the first time for him to do this, his techniques were skillful and the acupoints were accurate without the slightest error!

This made all the people beside couldn't help but give a thumbs - up!

You know, even those professional doctors may not be able to find the acupoints so quickly.

After a while!

"Hey... It's okay now! It's not as urgent as before!" Oliver said excitedly.

"Being okay is just your illusion! Just like during the operation, after the catheter is inserted, even if there is no urine, you will still feel a strong urge to urinate. You'd better go quickly. Otherwise, you will wet your pants soon." Ethan reminded him.

After a while, Oliver finally walked out again.

"How do you feel now?"

"Much better! Comfortable!" Oliver was as happy as an old urchin.

Ethan also felt relieved.

Then, he said to these people, "The medicine I prepared for Uncle Chen can only be taken by Uncle Chen himself. If you take it, it may solve the problem at that time, but there may be other side effects. So, give it back to him!"

Hearing this, those old men were not happy.

"Young man, what about us? Are you just going to watch us old men endure this pain here?"

"Each of you has a different illness and needs targeted treatment respectively. If you believe me, I can have a look for you. But, I must tell you in advance that my charge is not low. You should be mentally prepared." Ethan said frankly to these people.

"It's okay. That old Charlie Chen can afford it, and we surely can too." An old man said.

"Yes. If we can't afford it, let Charlie Chen pay for us. This old guy has made a lot of money from dealing with those handicrafts in the past two years!"

Several old men were talking in a disorderly manner!

If the current power - holders in Sunny County and those wealthy merchants saw this situation, they would be extremely shocked!

You know, some of them here are holding the economic lifeline of the whole Sunny County and the power alternation. Their influence is so great that it is no exaggeration to say that if they stamp their feet, the whole Sunny County will tremble!

Usually, those doctors are begging to treat them. But now... seeing a doctor still costs money, and most importantly, they are still worried that these old men don't have money!

"All right! Since that's the case, then come one by one!" Ethan said.

A few minutes later, Heath was the first one to finish the diagnosis.

"This is the prescription I wrote for you. Go and get the medicine according to this! When you come back, just give me ten times the money!" Ethan said.

Heath read it once. The total cost of these medicines was less than two hundred yuan.

"I give you ten times, which is only two thousand yuan! Is this what you call expensive?"

"Isn't it expensive? I'm charging ten times the original price! Isn't it expensive?" Ethan said.

When mother Grace Feng sold vegetables, if the purchase price was two yuan, she thought it was already very expensive to sell it at four yuan! Father Ethan Lee bought those bamboo boards home at three yuan each. After carving things on them, he sold them at five yuan, and the highest was only ten yuan. He also felt a bit guilty!

Now he has charged ten times the price, and he already felt that he was being too greedy!

Since childhood, no matter how naughty Ethan was, his parents would try their best to protect him, but it doesn't mean that Ethan Lee and Grace Feng were lax in disciplining Ethan.

Be honest!

This was the only lesson!

If it weren't for considering the hardships he had endured in previous studies, he wouldn't even have the heart to charge ten times the price.

However, looking at these old men's expressions, it seemed that he had charged too little.

"Expensive! Of course it's expensive! When we go back, we will have to sell everything we have!"

"Yes! I have to draw on my coffin money in advance." Several old men said.

"Stop pretending! Do you think I don't know that you are all very rich?" Ethan curled his lips.

"How can you tell?"

"Which poor old man would be as idle as you, walking the birds all day?" Ethan said.

...

After prescribing medicine for all the old men, Ethan left.

"Remember, everyone can only take their own medicine. If you take the wrong one and get sick, I won't be responsible!" Ethan said.

"Got it!"

"Kid, when you massage me tomorrow, let's continue our debate!" Oliver said.

He rarely met someone so much to his liking and thought it was very interesting.

"No time! Do you think I'm as idle as you?"

"Hahaha..." The old men beside saw this scene and couldn't help laughing heartily.

"Old guy, you are always the one to reject others. This time you are rejected by others too! How does it feel?" Someone gloated beside.

"Good boy! You have a temper. You are as good as I was when I was young!" Oliver said with a smile.

"Oliver, aren't you ashamed? What did you look like when you were young? And what does Ethan look like? There is a huge difference!" An old man mocked.

When leaving, Ethan had more than ten thousand yuan in his arms! Looking at the money, he couldn't help but smile!

"The money comes so fast! Hahaha..."

But it wouldn't be so easy to meet such a group of people who come to see the doctor together and trust him again.
