CHAPTER 51: CHAPTER 51: NO CREDIT

Yun Jiao continued, "As for whether the leg can heal, no one can guarantee that. It mainly depends on whether the bone will dislocate in the future."

Jiang Youzhi nodded slightly, "I trust you, let’s use your prescription."

Doctors most appreciate patients who believe in them and are willing to cooperate with their treatment.

Mrs. Chen looked at Jiang Youzhi and thought, Sanlang is smarter than me and more knowledgeable. Since he says so, there must be a reason, so let’s listen to him!

She took out the silver she had, kept over twenty taels for settling the medical bill and transportation, and gave the remaining three taels of silver to Yun Jiao, "Once you write the prescription, use the silver to buy the medicine."

Yun Jiao accepted the silver and nodded, "The money for the medicine might not be enough, I’ll ask Manager Wang later to see if I can get it on credit."

Mrs. Chen was instantly a bit emotional, "It would be great if we could get it on credit. Don’t worry, the silver we owe, mother will definitely repay."

As she left, Yun Jiao quickly walked towards the Wang Family Pharmacy.

Today wasn’t a market day, so there weren’t many people in the pharmacy.

Manager Wang saw her, stroked his beard with a smile, "Didn’t you just come earlier? Why are you buying medicine again?"

Yun Jiao smiled, "Yes, but you know I don’t have enough silver, otherwise I wouldn’t have only bought one dose earlier."

"Can you give me some medicine on credit?"

Manager Wang raised his eyebrows and waved his hand, "No way, I never give medicine on credit here."

In this world, the majority are poor, and among those buying medicine, more than half are poor. Not having enough money is a common issue. Once this door is opened, then this pharmacy is no longer a pharmacy, but a charitable hall.

Yun Jiao felt extremely embarrassed, as she had oversimplified the problem.

She didn’t have any relationship with Manager Wang, why would he give her medicine on credit?

Manager Wang curiously asked, "I didn’t feel right asking earlier, didn’t you just get thirty taels of silver? You spent it all? That’s not possible!"

Yun Jiao thought for a moment and shook her head, "I have money."

Manager Wang raised his eyebrows even higher, "You have money, but you’re asking for credit?"

Yun Jiao smiled helplessly and stopped discussing the matter, instead she said, "I need to write a prescription, do you have paper and pen here?"

Of course, there is paper and pen around, as the resident doctor needs to write prescriptions too.

Manager Wang was about to say, what can a little girl write a prescription for, but then he reconsidered and watched to see what she could write.

He brought Yun Jiao to the doctor’s side, Doctor Liu made space, Yun Jiao pondered briefly, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and quickly wrote a prescription in a flourish.

Doctor Liu and Manager Wang both watched from the side.

Though not treating patients, Manager Wang, having worked in the pharmacy for many years, understood basic medical principles.

One glance at the prescription and he could see there was no issue, this girl truly knew her stuff.

Doctor Liu saw the prescription included Xu Duan, Gu Sui Bu, and Zi Ran Tong, and asked, "Whose bone is broken?"

"Could it be Scholar Jiang who fell from upstairs last night?"

This small county spreads news quickly when something happens.

Yun Jiao nodded and handed the prescription to Manager Wang, "Please help me prepare the medicine."

Then she added, "While you’re preparing it, I’ll step out for a moment."

Manager Wang pointed to the backyard, Yun Jiao went in, and indeed found a toilet, once inside, she took out some silver from the medicine cabinet, and then came out.

Once out, the clerk was still preparing the medicine.

Yun Jiao also asked the clerk to bring some bandages, and then asked Manager Wang, "How much in total?"

Manager Wang took out the abacus, calculated according to the prescription, item by item, and after calculating, Manager Wang raised his head, "Six taels and five coins of silver."
