Chapter 365: Brother 193 Pit Slag_2
Secretary Zhao thought for a moment, seeming to recall something, “Ah, yes, I heard from someone at the iron shop that her last name is Lu…or was it Gu?”
As dusk approached, Gu Jiao finished her day of diagnosis and treatment, making a final visit to observe Gu Chenglin’s condition.
Gu Chengfeng had something to ask her.
Now, every time he sees meat and fish dishes on the table, he is reminded of Gu Chenglin’s surgery. Those successive images… were simply too horrifyingly graphic!
If this continues, he fears he might become a monk! He wants to know, is there any cure for his condition?
However, Gu Jiao didn’t give him a chance to speak and walked away instantly!
...
“Hey, you’re leaving just like that?” Gu Chengfeng asked, looking annoyed.
Gu Jiao glanced at him indifferently.
Gu Chengfeng composed himself, “What if there’s danger with my younger brother?”
“There’s Doctor Song.” Gu Jiao replied.
Gu Chengfeng was at a loss for words.
This Doctor Song looked like a newbie. He was the one who stitched Gu Chengfeng up after he got injured when the music hall collapsed. The stitches were off and looked horrible! Plus, it took an awful long time to heal!
“If you’re not satisfied, you can go to another medical hall.” Gu Jiao said nonchalantly, walked to the door, handed over some instructions to Doctor Song and encouraged him, “It’s rare to see a serious patient with a wound like this in the chest. Cherish this opportunity to practice.”
Doctor Song felt inspired: “I will!”
Gu Chengfeng wore a blank expression: “…”
Is it really cool to take advantage of patients like that at your medical hall?
“Ah, right. Let’s settle the bill.” Gu Jiao said, tossing a sheet into Gu Chengfeng’s arms.
Gu Chengfeng took a look: “Why is it another thousand taels?! Didn’t you say that my brother’s medication and all other expenses only cost a few dozen taels?”
Gu Jiao raised an eyebrow: “This isn’t for him, it’s for you.”
Guchengfeng widened his eyes, “What’s wrong with me?”
Gu Jiao shrugged, “I did give you an injection.”
Gu Chengfeng was furious, “And that costs a thousand taels?! You were taking advantage of me, weren’t you? Charging me after attacking me?”
Gu Jiao gave a sinister smile and glanced at Gu Chenglin, “If you won’t pay, we’ll see what happens.”
