Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1120: Advance Calmly
Outside of normal working hours, Bian Mu almost never stayed in the clinic. On weekends, when residents in the community saw him suddenly appear in the clinic, those who were quick-witted and thick-skinned would naturally come forward to seek medical advice and ask for medicine.

After all, most residents still think that the medical fees charged by Bian Mu are still a bit high. Nowadays, "Bian's Clinic" has also started selling medicine. According to the uncles and aunts, the Chinese herbal medicines sold by "Bian's Clinic" are basically the most expensive among the surrounding clinics. Some people began to speculate that Bian Mu is a hypocrite. When he became famous, his fox tail was naturally exposed. After all, the ultimate goal of the surname Bian is to make money!
When Bian Mu heard such rumors, he had no one to vent his grievances to.

Using the principles of Go, Bian Mu sorted out his current situation and came to the conclusion that he should leave the "Four Seasons Harbor" community and seek other development opportunities. There was no other way. The "trend" had changed and it was becoming somewhat unfavorable to Bian Mu.

Playing Go is actually about "surrounding the situation". You have to think about what is beneficial to you at all times and in all places, and you dare not be careless at all. Once the "situation" becomes bad and gradually gets out of control, the game is doomed to be lost.

The same principle applies to running small clinics on the street.

Bian Mu's medical skills have improved. In terms of "momentum" alone, the radius of his influence has naturally increased several times. The size and technical level of his team can only continue to improve, and the scope of his medical treatment will only become wider. Inevitably, related costs will also "rise with the tide."

Bian Mu had to accept this reality.

With the unrestrained demeanor of "a gentleman is content with poverty", stay at "Four Seasons Harbor" honestly, evaluate professional titles, save money by living frugally, find a girl with slightly worse conditions to start a family, buy a second-hand house with a slightly smaller area in the "Four Seasons Harbor" community, probably on the first floor, and then retire without any illness or disaster? !

No matter how traditional and honest Bian Mu is, he absolutely cannot accept such a life.

How will my parents take care of their old age in the future? !

Where will my younger sister Xiaoyue get her dowry when she gets married? !
All kinds of troubles cannot be solved by "Bian's Clinic".

To take a step back, even if Bian Mu is willing, Nurse Ye and Luo Zhanqi will definitely not accompany Bian Mu to move forward. It is still unclear whether Zhang Jinsi will accompany Bian Mu to the end. However... based on Bian Mu's understanding of the mainstream life trend of the city, Zhang Jinsi will most likely fall behind halfway.

Bian Mu, alone, bravely moves forward along the safe and steady path of medical practice? ! Is it possible? !
The Chinese Medical Clinic must be opened! Bian Mu must be promoted!

However, Bian Mu actually always liked the "Four Seasons Harbor" community and thought he got along well with most of the residents. The amaranth trees planted throughout the community were particularly memorable. When the summer breeze blew, the petals fell in a riot of colour and swayed in various shapes. Whenever he passed under the trees, Bian Mu's mood would become unusually peaceful and comfortable...

If I didn't have so many expectations and burdens, in fact... I could buy a second-hand house in the neighborhood, bring my parents over, prepare a simple dowry for my sister, and find a simple and kind brother-in-law... wouldn't that be good? !
Alas! In a sense, Bian Mu was also somewhat helpless, of course, more should be "unwilling to accept"!
Therefore, when ordinary residents in the community seek medical treatment under his name, Bian Mu often shows special concern. Perhaps, only this piety can alleviate the "guilt" that has been hidden deep in Bian Mu's heart? !

Sometimes, Bian Mu himself couldn't even describe it.

"From your accent, you seem to be from Li Shi?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.

"My hometown is Xinye Village, Hong'an Town. I graduated from Li University. They said you are also from our area, so... I shamelessly came here to consult." The man spoke very politely and gently, like a graduate from a top university.

"Hey! Fellow countryman! Please take a seat! Cut a melon! Eat and chat."

"Hurry up! It's just a few words. My sister's illness is just a minor one for you. How can I disturb your rest?"

"Don't be so polite! I just came back from our place a while ago. The miasma in the mountains is quite serious. Eating some melon can ward off evil spirits! Besides, how can I eat a whole melon by myself? The rest can only be thrown away, what a waste! You have heard of the well melon, right?" As he spoke, Bian Mu picked a medium-sized watermelon and washed it under the faucet not far away.

"I'm sorry for my ignorance!"

"You're welcome! This watermelon is the best in the surrounding area, try it!" As he spoke, he cut the watermelon into even pieces. "Thank you! Hmm... naturally sweet and fragrant! Absolutely top quality! I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, I've never eaten such a good watermelon in my life." The man smiled and praised repeatedly.

"You still have enough energy, so eat more. Others can only eat a quarter at most. Watermelon is a cold ingredient, so eating too much will not be good for you." Bian Mu responded with a smile.

Chatting and laughing, the two discussed in detail the specific condition of the boy's sister.

"It doesn't sound like a big deal, it's just that it's been delayed for a long time and she looks a little weak. Fortunately you came in time today, otherwise... it might have developed into a duodenal ulcer! If it really comes to that, with your financial conditions... I'm afraid it will be very troublesome. If you want a radical cure, you have to see me. It depends on her free time. If you think the consultation fee is too expensive, then I can see her alone after get off work." Bian Mu explained generously.

"That's not the case... I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but my family is very poor. I'm 37 this year, and my girlfriends keep breaking up, leaving me at a loss. I have some money... I try to save as much as possible. If you weren't free today, I really wouldn't dare to come to you for advice!" The man replied truthfully with a somewhat ashamed look on his face.

"It's all the same! I've been thinking about bringing my parents into the city to take better care of them. Alas! Chang'an is not easy to live in!" Bian Mu said with a smile.

"You have real talent, unlike me, who was a coward and studied HVAC... There is no hope for me in this life."

"Don't say that about yourself. You'll get better slowly. I have to go out for a social event tonight. I'm free until eight o'clock. If your sister is free, ask her to come over so I can see what's going on."

"Okay, okay! I don't know how to thank you..."

"It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning."

"Then I'll go to the company and work overtime. We must arrive before 18: in the evening."

"Walk slowly!"

"Let me clean up the melon peels!" Without giving any time to discuss, the man took the initiative to clean up all the garbage in front of and behind the door.

……

The sun sets in the west, the weary birds return to the forest, and the day is almost over in a flash.

Li Yunhu called and asked if he wanted to come back to be on duty. Bian Mu said he was there and let Li Yunhu make his own arrangements. Li Yunhu said he was helping a friend, so in that case he would not go back to be on duty at night.

Not long after, Fan Sanqiao also called, and the message was similar to Li Yunhu's.

Bian Mu said that it was fine as long as he was there, and let Fan Sanqiao make his own arrangements. Fan Sanqiao said a few polite words and said that he would not return to the clinic to be on duty at night.

Bian Muxian sat under the eaves, looking at the elderly and children enjoying the coolness, feeling very comfortable...

"Doctor Bian...this is my sister, this is Doctor Bian!"

"You're here! Please take a seat. We're all from the same hometown, so don't be so formal." As he spoke, Bian Mu invited the brother and sister to sit down.
