Capítulo 14: The Son of Third Uncle
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Shu Yu wasn't a proper doctor, and that was all she could tell.
However, she was certain that Lu Erbai's leg injury was definitely not as minor as what the physician had said.
She furrowed her brows, "Uncle Lu's leg was set by this Doctor Yan?"
"Yes, it's him. I knew that fellow wasn't reliable," The old lady said hatefully, "His leg hasn't recovered even after a year of treatment. That fellow is indeed a quack who is just a dog in the manger. Bah!"
"Ahem, mother," Lu Erbai quickly cleared his throat.
The old lady quickly shut up and did not say any more vulgar words. Then, she thought of something and asked, "Then, Miss Shu, can you cure my second son?"
Shu Yu shook her head, "If it had been when Uncle Lu's bone had just been set, I'm confident I can fix it. But now that so much time had passed, it's better to see a specialist in this. Do you know who here have the best medical skills in this area?"
"A specialist?" The old lady frowned.
Madam Ruan, who had been silent all this while, said in a low voice, "There's a doctor in the county with the surname Xu. He's good at setting bone fractures."
The old lady glared at her and said, "Doctor Xu is amazing, but how can ordinary people afford the consultation fee he asks for? Look at our family, we can't even get that money even if we sell you."
Madam Ruan shrunk her neck and didn't dare to speak anymore.
Expensive consultation fees?
Shu Yu asked, "How much is it? "
"Let's not talk about the money for the medicine, just the money for setting the bone fracture that I heard of costs this much," The old lady stretched out her hand and gestured "How can ordinary families like us afford it?"
"Five taels of silver?" Shu Yu had some money on her. Besides, Lu Erbai had hurt his leg to save her, so it was only right that she should pay his medical fees.
The old lady nodded.
Just as Shu Yu was about to speak, Sanya's painful cry came from the door.
The sound only rang for a moment before it stopped.
However, the few people in the room heard it and Shu Yu ran out immediately. Madam Ruan followed closely behind. The old lady also wanted to go out and take a look, but seeing that Lu Erbai was struggling to get up, she stayed and helped him sit down.
Before Shu Yu could reach the entrance of the courtyard, she heard an arrogant child's voice, "Hahahaha, ugly monster, you still dare to lie. Why don't you take a look at how poor your family is? With your dirt-poor family, how can you afford to eat candy? You can only dream about drinking sugar water."
Such words were really asking for a beating. When she got closer, Shu Yu realized that the person who spoke was a little fatty. He shook his head and showed a piece of candy in his hand to Sanya as he said arrogantly, "Do you see this? This is candy. My mother brought it back for me from the county today. It's sweet. You haven't even seen it before, have you? Not only are you ugly, but you're also a liar."
Sanya sat on the ground, tears welling up in her eyes, but she held back her tears.
She stood up in a well-practiced fashion and choked back her tears before saying in a soft but firm voice, "I didn't lie. I'm not a liar."
"You are. If you keep lying, I'll hit you," The chubby boy glared at her, his fat face contorted, and he waved his hands threateningly.
Sanya was very afraid of him, and could not help but take a small step back.
Then, she bumped into Shu Yu, who was now standing behind her. She looked up in a daze.
The little fatty also noticed Shu Yu, and his face was full of surprise, "Who are you? Why are you at my second uncle's house?"
Second uncle? So this was the son of her third uncle, who lived on the opposite?
Shu Yu suddenly smiled evilly at him. She took out a piece of candy and stuffed it into Sanya's mouth in front of the little fatty.
