After seeing Luo Gang off, Zhu Yanyi temporarily put the matter out of her mind.
She rested for a week before returning to work at the Capital Hospital. On her first day back, her very first patient was Wu Han. Seeing her, Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow slightly. "Mr. Wu, have you been poisoned again?"
"No, I am here to ask how the Little Master has considered our offer," Wu Han said directly. He was mainly asking about the Wu family’s decision to surrender their allegiance to her.
Zhu Yanyi tilted her head, looking at Wu Han. "Although I saved the lives of your family members, that was my duty as a doctor. I do not feel your family needs to surrender to me for this. If you do, the price your family pays would be too high."
Hearing Zhu Yanyi’s words, Wu Han spoke slowly. "Little Master, you are overthinking it. You see this as your duty, but for us Wu family members, you pulled us out of fire and water."
Wu Han looked serious and sincere. "To say nothing of other things, just look at the girls in our family. To avoid dragging others down, they could only borrow a seed before age seventeen. They had no happiness at all. For them, they could only walk in fixed environments every day. The outside world was completely strange to them.
"Not only that, but the men in our family, including mine, have never tasted love. Wives could not be trusted because they were exchanges of interest. The only thing we could do was constantly develop our careers. Now that our poison is cured, we have become normal people. We can live happily. For us, this is equivalent to reshaping a new life. Such a grace of rebirth cannot be solved with just words."
Zhu Yanyi still disagreed. "But even so, you do not need to surrender your whole family. This will restrict some of your actions."
"There are gains and losses. Compared to that, we can only be happy and at ease if we are accepted by the Little Master. Does the Little Master want this seventy-eight-year-old old man to die with his eyes open in regret?" Wu Han said directly.
Zhu Yanyi was speechless. "It is not that terrible, look at what you are saying." Zhu Yanyi sighed. "Since that is the case, let’s try for half a year first. After half a year, if you still do not change your mind, then I will accept you all."
"Good." Wu Han agreed immediately. "Not to mention half a year, even ten or twenty years will not change. This surrender was agreed upon after the whole family discussed it." Wu Han’s words showed how much the Wu family valued this matter. Now that the decision was made, it would not change.
Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly and did not oppose it further. "Good, then it is settled." She paused again. "Everything in the Wu family will still be managed by your family members. I will contact you when I have matters. How does that sound?"
"Deal." Wu Han nodded and agreed immediately. She also knew that her newly appointed Little Master was a doctor and would naturally not care about business, nor was she skilled at it. Zhu Yanyi’s suggestion was actually the best solution.
After Wu Han left, Zhu Yanyi sat in the consulting room. Although she had started working, today was not her outpatient day, so the people coming to see her were only a few former patients for follow-up visits.
"Little Divine Doctor." Yan Qiang entered, supporting Zhou Meixiang with one hand and carrying a basket of eggs with the other.
"Yan Qiang." Zhu Yanyi smiled when she saw Yan Qiang. "You are accompanying your mother for a check-up?"
"Yes, a follow-up examination." After getting Zhu Yanyi’s permission, Yan Qiang helped her mother, Zhou Meixiang, sit down in the chair in front of Zhu Yanyi.
After taking Zhou Meixiang’s pulse, Zhu Yanyi nodded. "There is no problem anymore. You do not need to take medicine anymore. Just eat lightly in your daily life. Come for a follow-up visit in half a year. If it does not recur in half a year, it means you are cured."
"Thank you, Little Divine Doctor." Zhou Meixiang and Yan Qiang exchanged smiles. In fact, they knew during this period that Zhou Meixiang’s body had recovered a lot. At least now her appetite had opened up, and her body was much better.
"Little Divine Doctor, this is for you." Yan Qiang placed a basket of eggs on Zhu Yanyi’s desk.
Zhu Yanyi was stunned. "Yan Qiang, what are you doing? You can sell these yourselves to get some money. Why give them to me?" She knew Yan Qiang’s living conditions were not good.
Yan Qiang scratched his head. "Little Divine Doctor, please do not be angry. These eggs are not bought. They are laid by chickens we raised ourselves.
This is from a small breeding farm I built myself. I sell quite a lot every day."
Yan Qiang scratched her head again, looking embarrassed. "The medical expenses for my mother’s illness were covered by the foundation recommended by the Little Divine Doctor. I did not spend much money myself. So I used my own money to set up a small breeding farm, specifically raising chickens and ducks. Now the chickens and ducks have started laying eggs. These are the first batch of eggs this year, picked this morning, so they are not precious. As for duck eggs, I did not bring them. My mother cannot eat chicken eggs, but she can eat duck eggs. I plan to supplement my mother with them."
Although both are eggs, chicken eggs and duck eggs are indeed different. Relatively speaking, duck eggs are mild in nature and suitable for everyone to eat.
Yan Qiang looked at Zhu Yanyi again and explained hurriedly. "Also, Little Divine Doctor, do not worry that we will not have eggs. We will have eggs again tomorrow, so I really do not lack eggs now. This is just for you to taste something fresh. Please do not refuse."
Hearing Yan Qiang say this, Zhu Yanyi did not refuse. "Since that is the case, then I will accept them. Do not send them in the future. Sell the eggs and save some money. In the future, marry a wife. Aunt Zhou must also hope you marry early so she can hold grandchildren sooner."
Although Zhu Yanyi was young, she was the Little Divine Doctor, so Yan Qiang did not feel her words were inappropriate. Instead, she nodded. "Little Divine Doctor, rest assured. I have remembered your words. When my mother’s body is well, I will ask someone to introduce a good girl to me. If I like her, I will marry her. Then I will invite the Little Divine Doctor to the wedding banquet."
"No problem." Zhu Yanyi smiled, then wrote a prescription for Yan Qiang. "This is a health-preserving medicinal diet recipe. Take it. Make it once every three or five days in the future. Auntie can eat it, and you can eat it too. The Chinese herbs on it are not expensive. They can be bought in general Chinese medicine pharmacies. They can help you preserve health and regulate your body."
"Thank you, Little Divine Doctor." Yan Qiang did not refuse. He put away the prescription, supported Zhou Meixiang, and left.
About half an hour after Zhou Meixiang left, the door opened. Zhu Yanyi looked up. It was Gu Jingtian. "Why did Senior Brother come over?"
