But when it comes to getting things done, they are incredibly fast and decisive.
Fan Jian strongly agreed with this.
Ruoruo is happy when he has something he enjoys.
Moreover, Su Yu is a very reliable person.
Since he said he was going to do it, it must be for Ruoruo's good.
Si Nanbo nodded in agreement, and naturally, Qiong Liu Ruyu also agreed.
I felt a little envious; Ruoruo was already practicing medicine at such a young age.
Mr. Su is truly devoted to the children.
She was incredibly grateful that Sizhe had also become Mr. Su's student early on.
Fan Jian was also thinking of investing to support their success.
However, Su Yu refused. He had no shortage of investment and was certain that the clinic would be a sure thing.
The day the clinic opened.
Si Nanbo Fan Jian, along with Liu Ruyu and Fan Sizhe, also came to the scene to support Ruoruo.
Su Yu lifted the carriage curtain, and saw that only the carriage of the Marquis of Sinan was parked outside.
There were also carriages from Prince Jing's residence.
Prince Jing's heir and Princess Roujia, brother and sister, have both arrived.
The people gathered around the clinic.
A moment later, the Jishi Medical Clinic saw its first patient come in for treatment.
Su Yu smiled; it was a familiar face.
Chapter 85 Old Jin was moved to tears! Famous throughout the capital! The Little Goddess of Nanqing!
As Su Yu disembarked from the carriage, she glanced at the entrance of the clinic.
The first people to enter were a father and daughter.
The old father was wearing a durable and dirt-resistant blue linen coat.
His steps were slightly unsteady, and his face was full of sorrow.
His daughter, whom he helped inside, was pale and looked very weak.
Su Yu didn't have much of an impression of that little girl.
But the old father was a familiar face.
That was the vegetable vendor who delivered vegetables to the palace, Old Jintou.
But thinking of Old Jin's experiences, Su Yu couldn't help but sigh softly.
This is a person with a tragic fate.
The hardships of the common people at the bottom of the Qing Kingdom were vividly reflected in him.
Su Yu looked at the figures of the father and daughter.
Fragments of memories about Old Gold flashed through my mind.
And his tearful conversation with Fan Xian.
“When vegetables are delivered to the palace, Eunuch Dai of the Vegetable Inspection Office will accept a bribe.”
"Festivals and birthdays must not be missed."
“Once, on Grandpa Dai’s birthday, I really didn’t have any money, so he has been resented ever since.”
"If you keep saying my vegetables aren't fresh, that's disrespectful to the royal family and you'll be fined."
At that time, Fan Xian had just arrived in the capital and had not seen much of the evil in human nature within the deep palace.
At first, I couldn't understand why I heard about this.
"If the vegetables aren't fresh, can't we just not sell them?"
Old Jin sighed.
"Not sending it is treason, and that's punishable by beheading."
If this continued, he would be fined every day and owe money every day, accumulating a debt of five hundred taels.
How can a vegetable farmer, who sells vegetables and is exploited by that eunuch every day, save up so much money?
That means they can only pay with their lives.
Fan Xian naively asked Old Jin a question back then.
"Isn't anyone going to sue this eunuch Dai?"
Old Jin could only sigh helplessly.
"I'm just a vegetable seller."
"On what grounds are you suing?"
"By the law." (Group)
Old Jin gave a wry smile.
"That Eunuch Dai is the law."
The daughter he was holding hands with was a very sensible girl.
She deeply understands her father's hardships and doesn't want to see him driven to his death.
He had no choice but to sell himself to pay off his debts.
How could a father bear to let his daughter, who is so sensible, suffer?
After Old Jin's daughter entered Baoyue Tower...
He made many efforts to gain entry into Baoyue Tower.
Then came Old Jin's participation in that comical poetry impersonation contest. 5
They even considered the possibility of risking their old age by hiding inside a vegetable bin to sneak in.
He unexpectedly met Fan Xian, obtained his name card, and Fan Xian gave him another five hundred taels of silver.
Old Jin went in with a hopeful smile, thinking he could redeem his daughter.
So he walked with light steps and a radiant smile.
They practically skipped and hopped into Baoyue Tower.
Although this behavior seems extremely out of place for an old man.
But you can also tell that Old Jin was genuinely happy at the time.
I can take my daughter home now.
He was even thinking of telling Fan Xian that he would sell vegetables for the rest of his life to repay his benefactor, Fan Xian, the 073 yuan.
Unfortunately, he came out covered in dust and dirt, pale-faced, and covered in injuries.
When he came out, his face was full of sorrow and his eyes were filled with despair.
It felt as if I had been plunged into eternal damnation, and had walked through hell.
There was no trace of joy left on his face.
In fact, he only saw his daughter briefly and couldn't bring her with him at all.
They were still being insulted and had their dignity trampled on inside.
Whether as a father or as a person.
He felt wronged and frustrated, and he wanted to seek justice for his daughter and himself.
Unfortunately, Old Jin was ultimately just an elderly and frail vegetable seller.
They could only get a severe beating and be crushed on the ground.
They were also told that if they wanted to take his daughter away, they would have to pay a full ten thousand taels of silver.
When Old Jin came out, although he was walking with difficulty, he still bowed to his benefactor.
He told his benefactor what he wanted him to investigate.
It was only when Fan Xian asked about his daughter that things happened.
Old Jin could no longer hold back.
He broke down, his eyes filled with grievance, frustration, resentment, anger, and despair.
He apologized, and he slapped himself.
The benefactor's five hundred taels were also lost in the process.
The daughter couldn't be saved either.
He cursed himself for being incompetent, speaking with a mixture of grievance and anger.
"They said they would charge ten thousand taels of silver to redeem my daughter."
"Ten thousand taels."
"Even if you sold vegetables for several lifetimes, you still wouldn't have enough money."
Turning around, a shocking, deep, and long knife wound was visible on his back.
Old Jintou finally collapsed.
He looked up at the sky with tears in his eyes, feeling both resentment and indignation.
But with his last strength, he uttered his final four words.
"Just stay alive."
Unsurprisingly, Old Jin fell down and died.
Su Yu shook her head. At this moment, the misery and suffering of the lower classes became tangible.
