The people in line were stunned when they heard it only cost five copper coins for a dose of medicine. Their eyes were wide open as they looked forward, their eyeballs almost falling out.

They felt as if they had gotten struck by lightning and were simply too shocked. Although they had lived in the village and had not gone out much, they were not ignorant. They knew how expensive it was to get medicine.

Otherwise, no one would be apprehensive about seeing a doctor whenever they got a headache or a fever. Everyone would rather stay home and self-heal or use alternative remedies for treatment.

No one wanted to see a doctor because it cost money to see one and get medicine. Taking medicine just once might even cost several silver taels. The villagers knew how expensive medicinal herbs were.

Village folk typically had headaches, fevers, and discomfort but did not even consider seeing a doctor. They thought they would be okay if the sickness were not health-threatening.

These villagers probably would not have the courage to visit Su Binglan without her free consultation. That was because seeing a doctor meant spending money, and no one would be willing to do so.

That was the primary reason poor people could not afford to get sick or see a doctor. So when everyone heard Su Binglan say that one dose of medicine only cost five copper coins, they thought they had misheard.

Everyone returned to their senses and started discussing excitedly.

“Five copper coins for one dose of medicine. Did you hear that wrong?

“In the past, Miss Liu from our village had a stomachache too. She went to town to see a doctor and buy medicine, but one dose cost her five hundred coins, not five.”

“B-But Miss Su said five coins. Did we mishear her?”

“It’s for the medicine, not the consultation?

“You guys heard it too, right? It’s only five coins. I’m not the only one who heard it, right?”

Initially, everyone was nervous and did not say anything when they lined up to see Su Binglan. Still, they started excitedly discussing amongst each other when they heard it only cost five coins per dose of medicine. Some even heaved a sigh of relief.

Su Wenxiu looked at everyone’s reaction and felt rather upset. “The medicine costs five coins!” He thundered, “My sister won’t lie. The medicine is guaranteed to work.”

The woman returned to her senses excitedly and said, “Y -Yes, we believe in Miss Su. It’ll work!”

Then she carefully removed a handkerchief from her pocket and slowly opened it, revealing a few coins inside. She counted the coin by coin and finally reached five.

After counting twice and ensuring she made no mistakes, she handed the five coins to Su Wenxiu and said, “We’ll buy the medicine. Here are five coins.” After passing the five coins to Su Wenxiu, the woman carefully wrapped her remaining coins and put them away. Even a penny was worth a lot to the villagers, and they would try to split it into two if they could.

Su Wenxiu held the five coins, feeling their weight. He felt it was heavier than five silver taels because he knew the five coins were not a tiny amount to that woman’s family.

He was no stranger to how Liu Ye counted her copper coins. He remembered his mother also taking out her handkerchief to count her money whenever she wanted to buy something.

Shen Qiuhua would count coin by coin several times, afraid she would make a mistake. Perhaps she could not bear to use the money and wanted to keep it for a rainy day.

Su Wenxiu’s heart felt heavy and uncomfortable. “Liu Ye, I’ll get the medicine for you now.”

Last night, he and his sister had stayed up all night to prepare medicinal herbs, which people commonly used. It was also convenient to get the medicine.

Su Wenxiu had been learning at Hundred Herbs Hospital for a long time, so he was already very skilled in picking herbs. However, he still carefully checked them twice before mixing the herbs. He would not allow himself to make anv

mistakes since it was a matter of life and death.

Liu Ye held her daughter’s hand with one hand and the medicine in the other. She could not stand steadily and felt like she was floating because she could not believe what had happened.

‘Is it enough to get medicine for just five coins?

Of course, she would not suspect it to be fake medicine. After all, the villagers knew the Su family’s characteristics best. If it were not for the villagers asking Su Binglan if she wanted to be a doctor, she would not have done it.

People make a lot of money from doing business. However, the consultation was free and not profitable, so there was no need to lie to the villagers.

“Miss Su, thank you, thank you.”

Su Binglan smiled and said, “Your daughter is fine, Liu Ye. You don’t have to worry. Boil this medicine when you get home and split it into two bowls. Drink one bowl then and the other after dinner. She’ll be okay the following day.”

“All right, I’ll go home and brew the medicine for her.”

The people in line saw this, and their eyes lit up. They thought it was a good thing that they had mustered up their courage to let Su Binglan give them a consultation.

The medicine was cheap, and the people in line felt more relaxed.

Immediately after, the others went to see Su Binglan, one after the other. Most only had minor illnesses such as headaches and fevers, which cost about five coins for a dose of medicine.

Many grabbed their herbs and left, while a few women sat under a big tree nearby, picking vegetables and chatting. When someone exited Su Binglan’s clinic, one of the women could not help but ask curiously, “How was it, Liu

Liu Ye held her daughter’s hand, her eyes red with tears and emotion. “Miss Su is such a good person. We only paid five coins to get one dose of medicine. She said my eldest daughter will be okay tomorrow once she drinks the medicine.”

Everyone was astounded when they heard that. “What?! Only five coins for medicine?! Liu Ye, you can’t lie to us.”

“You know how I am. If you don’t believe me, you can go inside and ask around. This cost me only five copper coins. I wouldn’t be able to afford this herb if it was expensive. Here, this is the medicine.” Liu Ye lifted the medicine bag for everyone to see as she spoke.

Everyone found it hard to believe because they knew how expensive medicinal herbs were. When it came to getting medicine, the villagers could not help but think of the cost of the medicinal herbs and felt terrified.

They were shocked when they heard it only cost five coins. The women were in a daze for a long while. They only returned to their senses after Liu Ye left.

“It looks like it’s true.”

“The girl from the Su family is amazing. She has been helping our village so much.”

“If this gets out, people from other villages will envy us.”

One of the women could not help but sigh. “That’s right. My sister-in-law lives in Stone Village next door, and she used to think our village was terrible. She looked down on me when I went back to visit my family. Now that she knows how good our village is, she’s starting to curry favor with me.”

“Tsk, she thinks she can come and work in our village through you.”

“Hmph, how imaginative of her. Doesn’t she know that many of our villages can’t even work at the tofu factory yet? Still, she wants to work here?”

“However, the tofu factory needs to make many more products now because more people are using it. My third daughter didn’t have much strength initially, so she couldn’t work at the factory, but after the second round of recruitment, she made it in. Now she talks and laughs more..”
