Chapter 177 I have the final say
"My clinic has just opened, and people come here on weekdays and mainly on weekends. If there are patients who come to see me, you can help me register the appointment and take care of the clinic's facade. I will pay you 30 yuan a month. If you perform well, you will also get some bonuses. What do you think of this?" Chen Mu suggested with a smile.
He Hongling hurriedly shook her head and refused: "Brother, your medical skills are outstanding. It costs hundreds of yuan to see a doctor. Giving you thirty yuan is too little. But I can help."
"Silly girl, you know I want to help you. The thirty dollars I give you is a token of my appreciation." Chen Mu explained, "It's summer vacation now, and you have some free time. It would be nice if you can help with some household expenses. Do you want me to give you the key?"
He Hongling knew Chen Mu's intentions. "Thank you, brother." She was so moved that her eyes moistened. "Brother, I am very happy to see you, too."
"Okay, just agree to help." Chen Mu urged.
"Yeah." He Hongling nodded slightly in agreement.
"If you get into trouble when I'm not around, you can go to No. 20 Yard next door to find Xiao Zhang or Grandpa Shitou. They are my good friends and they will definitely help me if you mention my name. I will tell them later." Chen Mu added.
Looking at his gentle face, He Hongling's eyes welled up with tears. "Brother...you are really..." she said with a sob.
"Maybe it's fate. Seeing you is like having a younger sister. I'm very happy." Chen Mu smiled as he rubbed her head gently.
"I'm glad to see Hong Ling'er too." He Hongling's face flushed and she nodded slightly.
"Eat quickly, the noodles are almost mushy." Chen Mu reminded.
"Well, the noodles cooked by brother are really delicious." He Hongling praised.
"There's still some left in the pot. I'll take it to your parents later." After Chen Mu finished speaking, he picked up the grains and vegetables, and mixed a few sausages and bacon into the basket.
After seeing He Hongling off, Chen Mu turned around and went to Chaoyang Courtyard No. 49. As soon as he entered, he saw Qin Yanru humming a ditty and watering the flowers with a kettle.
"Brother Chen Mu, are you back from your business trip?" Qin Yanru's face was immediately filled with surprise when she saw him.
"Well, how are you doing lately? Are you adapting well?" Chen Mu asked casually.
"It's very comfortable to live here. There is nothing to do usually, just cleaning the house and taking care of flowers and plants. Occasionally I read a book." Qin Yanru answered with a smile.
"You like reading too?" Chen Mu said with a smile.
"I was just taking a look." Qin Yanru said shyly.
Chen Mu approached the study, and Qin Yanru followed him. Seeing a small bed covered with bedding, she asked, "Are you sleeping here now?"
"I think it would be more convenient to read here." Qin Yanru explained.
"It's up to you. I seldom come back to live here. You can live wherever you want." Halfway through his speech, Chen Mu noticed a book beside him.
Chen Mu picked up the book. Qin Yanru became nervous when she saw him and tried to take it back in a panic.
Chen Mu caught a glimpse of the three characters "Silver Vase Plum" on the spine of the book, and quickly grabbed the book and dodged Qin Yanru's outstretched hand. This dodge caused Qin Yanru to lose her balance and she fell completely into Chen Mu's arms. Chen Mu hurriedly supported her, and Qin Yanru hugged him tighter, even causing the originally stable Chen Mu to lose control for a moment and press her under his body.
Qin Yanru's pretty face was red with shame. She looked at Chen Mu with more and more tenderness, and her eyes were full of deep expectations. Her heartbeat accelerated, and she couldn't help but move closer to Chen Mu.
Faced with Qin Yanru's initiative, Chen Mu couldn't help but respond. The book in his hand fell to the ground. He had read this book before, and the plot of the book suddenly emerged in his mind, making it difficult for him to control his emotions.
Now that you're here, don't think too much about being bound. The night gradually darkens.
Qin Yanru called softly in Chen Mu's arms: "Brother Mu..."
"Don't worry, you are mine now, I will treat you well." Chen Mu pinched her cheek lightly and said.
"As long as you come to see me from time to time, I will be satisfied. I know I am not worthy of you."
Qin Yanru wanted to repay Chen Mu for saving her, but she didn't know how to do it. Chen Mu didn't need anything. She had nothing but her beauty and good figure, so she was always ready to devote herself. She knew she was inferior to other women and always felt inferior.
"Silly girl, don't worry. Since you are mine, I will not let you leave easily." Qin Yanru's favorability value is already full, and she can be trusted without a doubt.
However, it was not appropriate to take her back to ** at the moment. He gave her a Dingyan Pill and left her an amulet with a lightning symbol. After giving her some items and money, Chen Mu left quietly without saying when he would return next time.
He had forgotten about his grandfather's invitation to drink, and considering that it was getting late, he decided to give up on it.
After returning to Building 95, he told Zhuzi about He Yuxi's pregnancy, and the latter was very surprised. Zhuzi curiously asked him why he returned to Hong Kong alone from Beijing. Chen Mu made a few perfunctory remarks, and after a few drinks with Zhuzi, he immediately set off for **.
At the weekend, Chen Mu returned to Sijiu City. He Hongling was waiting in the Miracle Doctor's Hall early. However, there were no patients in the hall.
"Brother, you're finally back. Only three patients were booked this week, and they just arrived this morning." He Hongling said with a smile.
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Chen Mu said while gently touching He Hongling's hair.
He Hongling was a little surprised, "Is it because there are too few patients?"
"It's okay. We don't treat minor illnesses. We only treat serious illnesses, those that have no hope of being cured." Chen Mu explained.
Soon after, the sound of a car braking was heard at the door. A middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit got out of the car, and next to him was a man in his thirties also wearing a Zhongshan suit.
Chen Mu guessed that one of them was the person in charge and the other might be the secretary. "Excuse me, is there a doctor here?" the middle-aged man asked politely.
"Do you have an appointment?" Chen Mu asked back.
"Yes, I made a reservation two days ago at nine o'clock." The other party responded.
After checking the records, Chen Mu said, "Comrade Luo, huh? Please take a seat."
Comrade Luo looked at Chen Mu with some disbelief: "Are you a doctor?"
"Yes, sit down and stretch out your hand first so I can see." Chen Mu said and gestured.
"You...at your age, do you know how to treat illnesses?" the secretary next to him interrupted, with a slightly puzzled tone.
Chen Mu stopped taking the pulse, bowed slightly and said, "Those who do not wish to see the doctor, please leave."
"Young man, what do you mean by that?" The secretary's face suddenly turned gloomy. No one dared to speak to him so rudely.
"It's the patients who come to me for treatment, not me requesting treatment. If you don't want to be treated, please don't disturb me while I'm at the clinic. Just take a step back." Chen Mu's cold tone revealed impatience.
"you……"
At this time, a middle-aged man scolded: "Xiao Liu, don't talk too much." Then he turned to Chen Mu and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, sir, my subordinates don't know manners, you don't have to bother with him."
"It doesn't matter. Why bother with a dead person?" Chen Mu replied sarcastically.
The secretary was furious when he heard this: "What did you say?" Then he asked sternly: "You actually want to...?"
"Haha, ** you guys? This will only dirty my hands. What's more, you're a dying man, so it's not worth it for me to mobilize a large number of troops." Chen Mu said.
"What do you mean?" the secretary demanded.
"You have pale eye bags, a heavy face, bloodshot eyeballs like spider webs, and an irritable temper. These signs indicate that rabies has set in. Based on your current symptoms, you will definitely develop the disease before noon tomorrow," Chen Mu analyzed.
The secretary couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and turned to the middle-aged man and said loudly: "Team leader, that kid is just talking nonsense. He has never seen a dog bite, so how could he be infected with rabies?"
After hearing the secretary say that he had not been bitten by a dog, the middle-aged man believed it and decided that Chen Mu's groundless accusation was nonsense. He immediately prepared to leave.
Chen Mu smiled contemptuously: "It's hard to persuade a dead soul with good words."
"Brother Chen Mu, is what that man said true? How could he get rabies if he wasn't bitten by a dog?" He Hongling asked in confusion.
"Quite simply, rabies is not just spread by dogs. Originally called wolf pox, it can be carried by many species such as wolves, rats, squirrels, cats or other small animals. It only takes one bite to get the disease. In some cases, the rabies virus can incubate for years, and once it breaks out, it can be fatal. There are very few doctors in the world who can treat such outbreaks, probably no more than five, and they are all experts in traditional Chinese medicine."
"Of course that includes you, brother," He Hongling added playfully.
Chen Mu gently scratched He Hongling's nose and said with a smile, "Smart."
He Hongling's cheeks were slightly hot, but she was extremely happy in her heart.
Then, another car arrived at the door, and an old man got out of the car with the help of a middle-aged man, followed by a little girl who looked about twelve years old. Two armed guards followed.
The three of them walked in, and Chen Mu curled up a satisfied smile on his face, waiting for business opportunities.
"Hello, comrade, can everything be treated here?" the old man asked.
"Have you made an appointment?" Chen Mu asked.
The old man looked at the middle-aged man next to him, who quickly replied, "I have an appointment, for 9:30 in the morning, Mr. Tong."
Chen Mu recognized the old man in front of him at a glance, a soldier who looked to be over 80 years old.
But he still pointed to the "Three No Treatment" sign next to him and emphasized: "Please read it yourself. If you violate one of the principles, I will not take action."
Everyone looked at the words on the sign.
The middle-aged man frowned and said, "What is this 'three no-treatment' rule? How can doctors make such self-righteous rules? Shouldn't doctors do their best to treat ordinary people?"
"Are you affiliated with Gopu?" Chen Mu asked back.
"No." The middle-aged man responded impatiently.
"So, does anyone here know anyone from my fake society?" Chen Mu asked.
“No.” The middle-aged man raised his voice slightly.
"Well, since no one is a member of the Brother's Fake Society, I guess you are not villains either." Chen Mu analyzed.
"Puchi!" The little girl next to her smiled and agreed that those people in the fake society did not seem to be good people.
"As for my 'three no-help' principles, they are my personal principles. Usually, people come to me for treatment, and I don't want to go to their homes for help; secondly, if they want to come to me for treatment for a minor fever or headache, do they still have to go to the hospital? Besides, I have excellent medical skills and I have the final say." Chen Mu explained his rules.
