Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1051 Goodbye Bronze Mirror
Seeing that they were almost done eating, Bian Mu sent a text message to Professor Shen, asking if the family of three was at home at the moment.

Not long after, Professor Shen sent a text message back: "We have moved to my sister's place. I will send you the location later. It's better to be safe than sorry. No one knows this place except you. My grandson has never been here... Doctor Bian knows the reason..."

Bian Mu quickly replied: "It's good to change the environment. I'll go over for a follow-up visit later!"

Professor Shen immediately replied, "Thank you for your concern, Doctor Bian! Can you prepare some coffee? Or tea? Or juice or something like that?"

"White tea, please!" Bian Mu replied with his head down.

"Okay! Doctor Bian, please be careful on the road!" Professor Shen edited a short message and sent it over.

The meal wasn't expensive, and Bian Mu was just about to get up and go to the bar to pay the bill when he suddenly noticed that the middle-aged waitress kept glancing at him. He guessed that the waitress might have something to talk to him about, so he nodded slightly to Tao Wenjie and walked towards the middle-aged waitress.

"Do you have something to tell me?" Bian Mu asked softly.

"I'm so sorry! My daughter, the eldest, is in her second year of high school. She went out boating with her classmates a few days ago, and she was accidentally scratched on the left face by a young man with a paddle. As a girl, she was afraid of being left with a scar...so...do you have any good solution?" the middle-aged waitress pleaded in a low voice.

"Male classmate?"

"Yes! He was from another class in the same grade. He usually got along well with my girl. But maybe because they were too close, they started joking around without knowing how to control themselves. They used wooden paddles to splash water at each other, and as a result... he accidentally..."

"Is the other parent's attitude okay?"

"He has a very good attitude. He will pay no matter how much it costs! His family is much better off than ours, and they are also worried about leaving scars afterwards..."

"It's not a big deal for a teenage girl. So...do you live far from here?"

"It's quite close, just three blocks northwest. It only takes me about ten minutes to go to work by electric bike."

"That's fine! Let's settle the bill first. I'll go to your house with you. Don't worry! As long as you're under 28, there's usually a way."

"Great! I'm the one who has the final say here. Forget about the meal expenses. It's my treat! Then... shall we leave later?"

"You know, our income is not low, and that guy is even richer! The meal bill has to be paid, otherwise... if our relationship becomes bad in the future, just give me a 20% discount." Bian Mu insisted on paying as usual.

"Then... give me a 40% discount!"

"Okay! I'll send that young lady away and then we'll leave!" Bian Mu said with a smile.

"I really don't know what to say... I'll wait for you!"

"It's my duty, don't worry about it!" After saying that, Bian Mu returned to the dining table and specially replaced the pot of tea for Tao Wenjie.

Watching from the sidelines, Tao Wenjie noticed that Bian Mu was whispering with the middle-aged female waitress not far away. She was a very proud person and only cared about the common people. She was too lazy to ask about the trivial matters!

...No. 129, Xinwenli, an old factory dormitory, an old-style apartment building. A middle-aged female waitress lives in the east unit, on the sixth floor. There is no elevator. There are seven floors in total, with three households per elevator.

Bian Mu insisted on taking a taxi, and he paid for the fare.

The waitress's husband was originally eating out at noon, but after receiving the call, he rushed home before the two of them arrived home.

The girl looked very quiet, and her skin was much fairer than her mother's. She had a thin gauze on her left cheek, and a piece of net cover on the outside. Bian Mu knew from a glance that the two families immediately chose to go to the best ophthalmology hospital in the city for relevant treatment.

"Do your two parents have acquaintances in the Provincial Eye Hospital?" As he said this, Bian Mu asked the girl to look in the mirror and remove the veil on her face.

"The boy's aunt is a financial officer at the Ophthalmology Hospital. She asked their vice president to sew stitches for the child. How come you doctors can see this?" the waitress asked in surprise.

"That's about the same! Girls! As long as it involves stitches, they will usually choose an expert in ophthalmology. The needles are small and the work is done delicately to ensure that there will be no scars in the future. Your family is lucky. The so-called aunt not only found the best doctor in their hospital, but also used the best burn ointment on the market on your daughter as soon as possible. That kind of ointment can only be bought in specific research institutes, occupational disease prevention and control centers and the like. It is not sold in general hospitals, pharmacies and the like. If the wound is not shallow, it's okay. If the wound is very shallow and floats on the epidermis, we will have to take a lot of risks to deal with it! Under normal circumstances, we are not willing to accept this kind of outpatient clinic." As he spoke, Bian Mu asked the girl to walk to the brightly lit place in front of the window.

After checking carefully for a long time, Bian Mu had a clear idea in his mind.

"At the moment... it's not a big deal, but... our Chinese medicine treatment methods are somewhat different from Western medicine, especially the habits of ophthalmology and burns, so... I have to ask you two parents to negotiate with the parents of the party who caused the accident. Why do I say that? Because I have to use a kind of medicine to dissolve the wound on your daughter's face again, so that fresh blood can ooze out. It would be even better if there is pus and blood. Then, I will use a medicine rope to re-treat the wound. I dare not guarantee it 100%, so... the three parties have to sign a certain agreement in advance..." Bian Mu explained for a long time with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, the waitress's husband immediately showed a look of hesitation on his face. It can be seen that he usually cares a lot about his precious daughter.

The waitress was quite resolute.

"It's okay, we'll listen to whatever you say, anything is fine with us!"

"You'd better discuss it!" Bian Mu said with a smile.

When the couple was discussing things, Bian Mu noticed that there was a large bronze mirror hanging on the wall of the large bedroom. Moreover, it was an old-fashioned bronze mirror with an antique style. If nothing unexpected happened, it should not be a fake.

The waitress's husband was very concerned about his daughter's appearance. No matter how the waitress explained, the man always seemed hesitant.

Obviously, he understood at least two-thirds of what Bian Mu said. Bian Mu guessed that although the man looked like a worker, there was a light in his eyes and he should be a very smart person. The reason why he was engaged in relatively simple physical labor was probably because of his specific life experiences. People like him tend to have more paranoid personalities.

Finally, the couple almost quarreled...

Bian Mu was not in a hurry at all. Instead, he walked to the door of the bedroom and looked at the ancient bronze mirror which looked very simple, solid, and heavy with great concentration...

In the end, the middle-aged waitress was more capable, and her husband finally compromised.

Bian Mu smiled and said, "Don't worry, the two of you! It's not urgent to recover from the wound. You can discuss it later. But... can I take a look at the bronze mirror?"

Upon hearing this, the couple was stunned.
