Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 216 Free Medical Treatment
Li Ruru put down her chopsticks and said, "Xiao Wu and Yi Shan have something to do today, so they can't keep you company."

She thought the two generals her daughter mentioned were these two people, and that the three of them had always had a good relationship.

Xiao Yishan and Xiao Wu protected Yin Yin very well, ensuring she didn't suffer any injustice.

Yinyin shook her head and pointed at Qiqi, "I have Qiqi and Heizi, I'm not afraid of even the Heavenly King himself."

Qiqi barked twice, and Heizi echoed from below the cave.

Li Ruru was still a little worried. The two dogs could only use force; they wouldn't understand if she tried to insult them indirectly.

Sigh, let alone dogs, even Yinyin probably wouldn't understand.

Li Ruru was still worried about letting her daughter set up the stall alone.

Seeing this, Nie Tianlei put down his chopsticks and said, "I'll go with Yinyin. I can set up a stall too."

Peipei turned to ask, "What are you selling at your stall?"

Sell ​​it to me!

"What?" Peipei choked on her porridge and coughed.

Nie Tianlei patted her on the back and asked, "Did you forget to take your medicine on time?"

"I've already had it, oh, I haven't had today's yet." Peipei changed the subject, "You just said you were going to sell...you?"

What kind of outrageous things is Dr. Nie saying? She's seen people who have been sold, but this is the first time she's seen someone willingly sell themselves.

Everyone looked at Nie Tianlei with confusion. He slowly explained, "I meant selling my medical skills. Can't I set up a stall to treat people?"

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on, and Li Ruru nodded hurriedly: "Okay, then please keep an eye on Yinyin for me."

"Dr. Nie!" Yinyin tugged at Nie Tianlei's clothes and said in a childish voice, "Let's go."

Nie Tianlei thought to himself, "He hasn't finished eating yet. Can't you wait until he finishes eating and rests a bit before you go?"

Why the rush to sell candied hawthorns?

But the rosy-cheeked little girl in front of him kept begging, and he couldn't bear to say no to such a lovely girl.

I could only take paper and pen with me when I went out.

When Hei Zi saw Qi Qi come down from the cave, he happily pounced on him, and the two dogs played happily together.

Nie Tianlei carried two baskets, while Yinyin walked ahead, humming a song in a good mood.

The area under the soapberry tree has become quite desolate lately.

Most of the men in the village work in the workshops, while the women go up the mountain to dig konjac.

The Hai family is making konjac tofu as usual today, and Li Ruru is running both the maltose and konjac tofu businesses.

There were only some elderly people and children running around under the locust tree.

Yinyin only greeted the former politely, but the latter was her client.

"Dog Egg, Mao Wa, Ye Zi...would you like some candied hawthorns?"

The nicknames of children in the village are simple and easy to remember, but they also sound unpleasant.

It is said that the more vulgar a child's name is, the better it can protect the child and help them grow up healthily.

When the children heard about this good news, they swarmed around them.

Nie Tianlei placed the candied hawthorn on the ground and opened it to show them.

Someone took one and was about to take a bite when he snatched it away.

Nie Tianlei said with a stern face, "It's not free for you to eat, it costs 1 coin per piece."

In the county town, it costs 3 coins for two sticks, so Yinyin's price is very cheap.

But the children had no money and didn't want to pay.

Someone scoffed, "They're charging for those cheap candied hawthorns."

"We're all from the same village, what's wrong with eating two?"

"So stingy, as if everyone's never eaten before."

"Even your father doesn't want you, so what are you being so arrogant about?"

Although children may speak without restraint, their words are anything but polite and unpleasant.

Yinyin often played with them, and they said these things all the time. She was so used to it that she didn't really care anymore.

But she could endure it, while Nie Tianlei could not.

He only stayed at Li Ruru's house for a day, but he learned about Li Ruru's situation.

She was divorced, not a discarded woman, and not abandoned.

If not forced into a corner, what woman would willingly walk this incredibly arduous path?

Nie Tianlei pushed the children away with a dark face. "One penny a stick. If you can't afford it, don't act like a big shot. I'll stab anyone who insults me again."

He pulled two silver needles from his sleeve and threatened, "Children hate needles the most; they hurt like hell."

He took a few steps back and left reluctantly.

Nie Tianlei breathed a sigh of relief, but Yinyin was extremely worried.

"Dr. Nie, you've scared away all my customers! Who's going to buy these candied hawthorns now?"

Nie Tianlei patted her head and said, "There will always be a way."

He borrowed a table and chair from the village head and placed them under the tree, and also wrote a simple sign and erected it next to him.

After a while, a few elderly men approached and asked, "Young master, what are you doing?"

Nie Tianlei pointed to the sign, "Look there."

The old man said somewhat awkwardly, "I can't read."

Nie Tianlei was taken aback, then realized that these people were illiterate.

He said his signboard had been up for ages, but nobody was buying it.

"Medical treatment, free of charge."

"Free of charge? No money required?"

"Correct."

The old man happily greeted a group of elderly people, saying, "That kid at the village entrance doesn't charge for medical treatment."

Many people, though they didn't believe such a good thing could happen, still followed out of curiosity.

A crowd surrounded Nie Tianlei. "Young master, what illnesses can you treat?"

Seeing that he was young, the people were a little worried about his medical skills, fearing that he might be a complete fraud like the Taoist priest who came to the village last time.

Seeing that everyone had gathered around, Nie Tianlei said, "I can treat any illness, but it's not free."

"Tch, I knew it, another big liar."

"Why are all sorts of scammers coming to our village?"

"Get out, get out."

The crowd shouted excitedly. Nie Tianlei pulled Yinyin to his side, cleared his throat and said, "The consultation is free, but you must buy her candied hawthorns, one coin each."

The group of elderly people went from speechless to accepting in an instant.

The price of one penny is so cheap, it's practically free.

A doctor's visit costs only one penny, and you even get a candied hawthorn stick—where else can you find such a good deal?

They don't have many teeth and can't bite into candied hawthorns, but their grandchildren and great-grandchildren really crave them.

It would be nice to take it back for them to eat.

Nie Tianlei was a skilled doctor, but he had a terrible temper. He said in a deep voice, "Everyone, line up. Line up at the back."

His voice, neither too warm nor too cold, yet carrying anger and a sense of oppression, intimidated a group of people several generations older than him.

People with gray beards and hair actually lined up seriously.

Nie Tianlei carefully took the patient's pulse and wrote down the prescription. Before long, rumors spread throughout the village that he was a miracle doctor.

The legendary healer, through observation, listening, questioning, and palpation, could sometimes diagnose an elderly person's illness with just a glance.

The Chen family also heard about this. Chen Jingang, panting, said, "That miracle doctor, I was the one who saved him from the water yesterday."

If he hadn't pulled the sack up, he might have drowned long ago.

Upon hearing this, Zhao immediately said, "Let's go find him. He can't renege on the debt of saving our lives."

There are several sick people in the family now, and Chen Bingxiao and Chen Dagang are still lame.

Feng Yuzhu also wanted to find a miracle doctor to see if the baby in her belly was a boy or a girl.

That Taoist priest was a fraud. He swindled all the money out of her family and made her take some strange medicine. She's extremely worried now.

Chen Liang arrived at the scene almost entirely with the Chen family.

"Master!" Upon seeing Nie Tianlei, Chen Liang bowed deeply without saying a word.

Those in the crowd who had initially doubted Nie Tianlei's identity as a miracle doctor immediately ran to the back of the line upon seeing this.

Although Chen Liang's medical skills were not high, the people of Chenjia Village still recognized him, as he could cure headaches and fevers.

The person whom Chen Liang calls "Master" must be a divine physician himself.

Zhao pushed through the crowd, pulled Chen Jingang to the front of the table, and said, "Miracle Doctor, it was my grandson who saved you yesterday."

In return, all the money you earn from medical treatment in the future must go to my family.

He grabbed a few elderly men who were about to leave with candied hawthorns and said rudely, "Don't go yet, pay up!"
