Chapter 559: Chapter 559
The beauty came to her senses and immediately smiled, saying, "Of course, of course, how much does the Divine Doctor charge?"
Lin Fan is now the resident doctor at a village clinic, and this money is collected for the clinic.
Lin Fan thought very seriously and said, "I think 50 yuan should be enough."
The prices at the clinic are about that, too.
Everyone was taken aback, that’s too little! They thought he would charge hundreds of thousands of yuan, after all, saving a life, even hundreds of thousands would seem cheap!
But he only charged 50 yuan, how honest!
Lin Fan heard Liu Zixing say that Old Liu charges the villagers a few yuan for minor illnesses, and a few dozen, or even a hundred, yuan for major ones. This time, saving the elderly from dying, charging 50 yuan is very reasonable.
Compared to hospitals, this is indeed very honest. Nowadays, hospitals are practically like robbers; a simple cold costs hundreds of yuan to treat. If you have a major illness, you often have to spend everything you have and go into debt, ending up back at square one.
"If the beauty thinks it’s too expensive, I’ll give you a 50% discount!" Lin Fan said.
Everyone almost fell over.
The beauty was stunned for a long time, not knowing what to say. This was too honest. In today’s society, everything costs money and nothing is cheap. High prices are the norm, so encountering such an honest price is quite an adjustment.
The beauty instinctively took a 50-yuan note from her bag and handed it to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan took it and said, "Thanks!"
Lin Fan himself isn’t short on money; he could offer free treatment. But since this money is for the clinic, he still needs to collect it.
The beauty said, "Divine Doctor, I haven’t asked for your esteemed name yet. By the way, let me introduce myself. My surname is Sheng, and my name is Sheng Wanqing."
Zhu Ming, sitting in the back of the vehicle, felt very embarrassed because he had failed to save the old man, and was now eager to get out of the car.
At this moment, he heard the beauty introduce herself, his eyes lit up, surname Sheng?
The surname Sheng is quite rare, especially in this county; people with the surname Sheng are likely from that family!
In this small county, there is a Sheng Family, said to be the wealthiest in the county. Besides the wealth, the Sheng Family has officials in the government: the County Committee Secretary is from the Sheng Family, and also, the local mayor is the son-in-law of the Sheng Family.
It can be said that the Sheng Family is powerful and wealthy locally, and countless people want to curry favor with them.
If this Sheng Wanqing really is from that Sheng Family...
Zhu Ming felt a pang of regret like losing a fortune, as he had a chance to connect with the Sheng Family, but because he failed to save an old man, he lost this great opportunity, leaving Lin Fan, this country bumpkin, to gain the chance.
For a moment, Zhu Ming grew envious and resentful of Lin Fan.
However, the possibility of Sheng Wanqing being from that Sheng Family should be unlikely; why would someone from the prestigious Sheng Family be on this country bus, of all places? Thinking this, Zhu Ming felt a bit better.
Lin Fan, however, didn’t know anything about the Sheng Family, had no thoughts about it, and said, "My name is Lin Fan."
Sheng Wanqing said, "So you’re Divine Doctor Lin. Divine Doctor Lin, what’s wrong with my grandpa? Will he get better?"
Lin Fan said, "Are you asking me to continue treating your grandpa?"
Sheng Wanqing replied, "Yes, I hope Divine Doctor Lin can agree. Money isn’t an issue; as long as grandpa can be cured, you can charge as much as you want."
Lin Fan said, "It’s not about money. Your grandpa’s illness is a bit tricky, and we’re almost to the city. I don’t have time now. How about this, when I have time, I’ll come and check on your grandpa. You can give me your address."
Lin Fan discovered the deep-rooted illness of the old man when he treated him earlier with the Silver Needle. Although they were strangers meeting by chance, he didn’t need to say more.
Now that Sheng Wanqing requested his help, it was a different story.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Wanqing gladly agreed, "Thank you so much, Divine Doctor Lin. Our home is at Bamboo Immortal Street in the county town. Here’s my phone number. Call me when you’re free, and I’ll come to pick you up personally."
Sheng Wanqing took out a pen and paper and wrote down a number for Lin Fan.
Lin Fan took it casually, put it into his pocket. He promised to go and when he has time, he will definitely go.
Bamboo Immortal Street! ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝕟𝕖𝕥
Hearing this location, Zhu Ming at the back was stunned.
Bamboo Immortal Street Sheng Family!
On Bamboo Immortal Street, there’s only one Sheng Family, the one that’s wealthy and influential!
There’s no mistake, Sheng Wanqing really is part of that Sheng Family!
Zhu Ming was instantly immensely dejected. There was no mistake this time, it feels like losing a fortune!
Lin Fan, you damn country bumpkin, the opportunity to attach to the Sheng Family was mine, and you, this damn country bumpkin, snatched that chance away!
Zhu Ming was gnashing his teeth in hatred.
Little did he know that Lin Fan didn’t recognize the Sheng Family at all, and even if he knew what the Sheng Family represented locally, Lin Fan wouldn’t care, let alone aim to curry favor.
Because Lin Fan is the richest man in Yun City himself.
Could the Sheng Family be wealthier than him!
If Zhu Ming knew that what he cared about was of no interest to Lin Fan, this would probably be the biggest blow of all.
Sheng Wanqing was very happy and even a bit excited; she never thought she’d meet a divine doctor, a real divine doctor, on this bus!
Her grandpa’s illness had persisted for quite some time, and despite the Sheng Family’s search for medical treatment, there was no improvement. This time, because she heard that there was a great old Chinese medicine doctor in a nearby rural area, Sheng Wanqing drove hundreds of miles to the remote backwater to find this old Chinese medicine doctor.
In the end, the old medicine doctor asked for a hundred thousand for a house call, and after prescribing a pile of Chinese medicine for grandpa, charged another hundred thousand. However, her grandpa’s condition showed no improvement.
Sheng Wanqing was helpless. The money was spent, and couldn’t be recovered, so she had to send her grandfather back to the county town.
On the way back, her car broke down, so she had to take the country bus with her grandfather back to the county town.
Perhaps it was fate. If her car hadn’t broken down, she wouldn’t have taken this bus and met Lin Fan!
Afterwards, when the rural bus arrived at the county town stop, the passengers got off one after another.
After getting off, the now-recovered old man, assisted by Sheng Wanqing, came to Lin Fan.
The old man enthusiastically shook hands with Lin Fan and said, "Thank you so much, Young Divine Doctor, for saving my life today. Just now I was too weak to thank you properly, so I specially came to thank you now. Besides, my granddaughter was rude to you, so I also want to formally apologize to you!"
Sheng Wanqing blushed and looked embarrassed.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "It’s alright, I didn’t mind."
"Young Divine Doctor, you truly have a broad heart. By the way, I’m Shengfu Sword." The old man said.
Lin Fan said, "My name is Lin Fan."
"Divine Doctor Lin, our Sheng Family has some connections locally, so if you need anything in the future, don’t hesitate to find me." Shengfu Sword said with a friendly smile, with a tone of confidence and pride, implying that not everyone could receive such a promise. He offered it to Lin Fan out of respect and regard.
Lin Fan casually responded with a nod, completely unaware of what the Sheng Family was or what Shengfu Sword was capable of, nor did he care.
Seeing this, Shengfu Sword felt a bit embarrassed. This Divine Doctor Lin seemed not to take the Sheng Family seriously, did he?
Sheng Wanqing was also curious, given the status of the Sheng Family in the local area, could it be that it didn’t catch the Divine Doctor’s eye?
This Divine Doctor, with his modest appearance, apart from his exceptional medical skill, appeared to have no significant background, right?
With these thoughts, the grandfather and granddaughter couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled.
"Divine Doctor, I originally wanted to invite you to our home right now, but I heard from Wanqing that you’re busy?" Shengfu Sword asked.
