Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 4) Chapter 83.3: Playful Son (54)
The two young men looked conflicted at this moment.
Shao Yu said: “If this person had been a little more gentle and not so aggressive, I’m afraid you would just feel guilty right now.”
After hearing what Shao Yu said, the two of them thought about it and felt that what Shao Yu said made sense. They didn’t understand why he had such feelings. They just felt like they were holding their breath and couldn’t let it out for a long time.
Shao Yu said, “Jiashan, do you have a hundred taels of silver on you now?”
Shao Jiashan nodded and asked, “Dad, do you need some money? I’ll get it for you.”
The richest person in the Shao family now is Shao Jiashan. After Shao Yu handed over his family property, he was the only one who still had Da Han’s dowry.
Shao Yu shook his head and said, “I don’t want it.”
Shao Jiashan was full of confusion.
Shao Yu continued, “If Ah Hei asked you for money to gamble, and you didn’t give it to him, and Ah Hei refused to eat or drink and forced you to give him money, would you give it to him?”
Before Shao Jiashan could answer, Ah Hei said anxiously, “I won’t ask for money randomly. My mother said that decent people can’t ask for things randomly from others.”
Ah Hei didn’t know what gambling was, but he didn’t want Shao Jiashan’s money at all.
Shao Yu smiled and said, “This is an assumption.”
Ah Hei was still saying that he didn’t want money, as if he was afraid of being misunderstood by his junior fellow apprentice.
Shao Jiashan, however, was imagining the scenario Shao Yu had described, and said, “Ah Hei is my senior brother after all. If he threatens me with a hunger strike, I should give it to him.”
“After giving it to him, will you feel comfortable?” Shao Yu asked.
Shao Jiashan shook his head vigorously. Whenever he thought of that scene, he would feel a knot in his heart. He said, “If he does something serious, I can lend it to him, but if he wants to gamble, I don’t want to lend it to him.”
“That’s right.” Shao Yu asked again: “Should you give him money?”
Shao Jiashan shook his head and said, “This shouldn’t be given in this situation.”
“You shouldn’t give the money to him, no matter how he threatens you,” Shao Yu said.
“But he is on a hunger strike. What if he dies just like that?” Shao Jiashan was obviously very conflicted.
Shao Yu said: “If you really want to die, wouldn’t it be more convenient to kill yourself with a knife?”
“Dad, do you think Ah Hei is pretending?” Shao Jiashan asked.
Ah Hei listened to the discussion between the father and son and tried to explain: “Ah Hei will not go on a hunger strike, and Ah Hei will not seek death.”
Shao Yu said: “Don’t care what method he uses, even if he puts a knife on your neck, don’t care, don’t be threatened by him, and insist on doing what you think is right in your heart.”
Shao Jiashan listened thoughtfully.
Shao Yu knew that being a doctor was not easy and that he would face countless such moral kidnappings in the future. He did not expect that just a few words this time would make his son fully understand these principles, but it could be regarded as giving him a shot of prevention.
Shao Yu continued, “This is a kidnapping that Ah Hei carried out with his own life, and the man we met today is using your doctor’s heart to kidnap him.”
“The reason why you are reluctant and feel guilty is because you feel that you are doing the right thing, but because of the doctor’s heart, you are misled by his words and feel that you owe him something.”
After hearing this, Shao Jiashan asked, “Then what should I do to make myself feel better?”
Shao Yu said: “If your doctor’s heart is beating, it will be difficult for you not to be kidnapped. What you need to do is to get used to it, get used to being a doctor, and also get used to being an ordinary person.”
“It would be great if you could save everyone, but if you can’t, there’s no need to be too hard on yourself.”
Shao Yu never doubted Shao Jiashan’s kindness. He was just afraid that Shao Jiashan would be kidnapped by his kindness.
Shao Jiashan seemed to understand what Shao Yu said at this time, but in the long years that followed, he used countless experiences to verify what Shao Yu said.
On the afternoon of the second day, Shao Yu thought that after a day, the two brothers would reconcile, but every time they looked at each other, there was a hint of anger in their eyes.
The two brothers, who had originally had a good relationship, didn’t say a word the entire afternoon.
Shao Yu still didn’t care and let the two of them quarrel.
After leaving the government office, he took Shao Jiashan and Ah Hei to a fixed location for free medical treatment as if nothing had happened.
The scarred man from yesterday was waiting there early today. He watched the two brothers moving tables and chairs, but did not come up to help. He kept complaining.
“Why are you here so late? Do you know how long I’ve been waiting here? You weren’t here when I came in the morning, and you were still not here when I came in the afternoon. I was so worried.”
Listening to the man’s complaints, Shao Jiashan was displeased and couldn’t help but reply: “We come at this time every day, there is no early or late.”
“You clearly knew I was coming to see the doctor yesterday, yet you didn’t come earlier today. Are you deliberately bullying me?” said the scarred man.
Shao Jiashan was not good at talking and couldn’t win the argument, so he could only keep emphasizing that they really came at this time every day.
Shao Yu, who was standing by, said, “Knowing that you have been waiting for a whole day, but not giving you a medical consultation, this is called bullying you.”
After hearing this, Shao Jiashan and Ah Hei felt very happy.
But the scarred man was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said, “Is this your medical ethics? You’re still choosing the right dish based on the patient’s condition?”
Shao Yu looked at him and said, “If you continue to make trouble, I will really not treat you.”
The scarred man shut up immediately after hearing this.
Shao Yu said to his two disciples, “As a doctor, although you are supposed to be kind, that doesn’t mean you don’t have a temper. If you really meet someone who is unreasonable, then we should be unreasonable together.”
The two brothers nodded vigorously.
Although the scarred man was angry, he quickly ran to a teahouse nearby and helped a woman out.
The woman was in her early twenties. Her face was not very beautiful, but she looked very gentle.
The woman’s voice was also very gentle. She asked, “Brother Ah Hu, my eyes can’t be cured. Don’t waste your money.”
Ah Hu was ferocious to Shao Yu and the others, but he kept speaking softly to her: “It will be fine. This doctor is good at talking, so his medical skills should be great too.”
As if he was afraid that the woman would worry about the money, he added: “Don’t worry, this doctor will provide free consultations, no consultation fee is required.”
The woman smiled gently: “No consultation fee, it’s such a good thing, Brother Hu, you must thank the doctor.”
Ah Hu said, “Just wait and see. If he can’t cure it, I won’t thank him.”
The woman couldn’t see, but she immediately said, “I’ve seen so many doctors but they haven’t helped. This doctor is doing a free clinic, please don’t make things difficult for him.”
While speaking, the woman was helped to sit down on a chair.
Although Shao Yu didn’t like Ah Hu, he felt a little sympathy for the woman when he saw her appearance. And seeing that she was reasonable, Shao Yu didn’t mention the words that had embarrassed Ah Hu before.
After looking at it for a long time, Shao Yu said, “It can be cured.”
Ah Hu’s face was surprised at first, but then turned defensive and asked, “Are you lying to me? Don’t do this for the sake of reputation.”
Ah Hu said this because he had met such a doctor before. The doctor clearly could not cure the disease, but in order to cheat money he made exaggerated statements and finally ran away with the money.
The woman groped and tugged at Ah Hu’s sleeve, saying, “Brother Ah Hu, the doctor is a good man, you have misunderstood him.”
Ah Hu was unhappy and said, “How can you be sure that this random doctor on the street is a good person?”
Although the woman couldn’t see, she faced Shao Yu and said, “The doctor smells very good. I trust him.”
Ah Hu was helpless and said, “Why do you believe everyone?”
The woman was not angry when she heard this, but smiled and said, “This doctor will definitely not harm me.”
Shao Jiashan’s various annoyances caused by Ah Hu were calmed down by this woman, who said, “You are very knowledgeable. You are so lucky to have my father treat you.”
The woman smiled and nodded.
Shao Yu had already written out the prescription and said, “Get the medicine according to this, one dose per day, and come back to me in three days.”
When the woman heard that she had to take medicine, she immediately asked, “Are these medicines expensive?”
Shao Yu understood the market price and said, “A dose of medicine costs about two taels of silver.”
The reason why this medicine is so expensive is not because Shao Yu is asking for too much, but because it contains several expensive medicinal ingredients.
Upon hearing this, the woman immediately said, “Then don’t treat me.”
Ah Hu took the prescription and said, “If it can really cure your disease, I will buy it no matter how much it costs.”
He looked at Shao Yu again and said, “But if you are trying to trick me into going to the pharmacy to buy medicine, I will turn around and overturn your stall.”
Shao Yu didn’t expect that he would be suspected of being a medicine holder.
“If you don’t trust me and think I’m a pharmacy agent, then don’t buy the medicine here. Go to the pharmacy in the town below, the next county, or even the state capital to buy medicine.”
The woman pulled Ah Hu’s sleeve and said, “Brother Ah Hu, the doctor is a good man, don’t say that.”
Ah Hu had no choice but to lower his voice a little more and said, “I’ll trust him this time. If I really misunderstood him, I’ll work like a slave for him to make amends.”
After Ah Hu and the others left, the stall did not become deserted. Instead, more and more people came to see the doctor.
These people were either passing by or were introduced by others.
Although there are still not many people, it is much more lively than the previous two days.
When it was time to close the stall, a feminine male voice suddenly came from the side.
“Excuse me, is this a free clinic?” the man asked.
Shao Yu looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who was speaking had a pale face and a gloomy expression.
“Do you want to see a doctor? But I’m afraid it’s not possible today. Come back at this time tomorrow.” Shao Yu said.
The feminine man said, “The condition is very urgent. I would like to invite you to my home for a consultation. I can pay for it.”
Shao Yu said: “This is not about money.”
Seeing Shao Yu’s insistence, the feminine man gave up and asked, “Can you see the patient tomorrow?”
Shao Yu thought about the fact that he would have a day off tomorrow, and seeing that the man was anxious, he said, “If you are really anxious, wait for me here at noon tomorrow.”
