Chapter 1,454 The Reason for High Charges

While talking, the two of them had already entered the main room.

Seeing no one here, Shu Yu knew that his family were all in the backyard.

She asked someone to serve Dr. Xu tea, and then sat down opposite him. "If Dr. Xu has anything to say, just say it."

Doctor Xu took a sip of tea and seemed to be organizing his words. After a while, he said, "I want to cooperate with Doctor Zhao to open a medical clinic."

Shu Yu was stunned and subconsciously replied, "Don't you have a medical clinic?"

Doctor Xu sighed, "You have also seen my medical clinic, which specializes in setting bones. It took me ten days and a half to meet a patient, and my whole body is about to get rusty. If this continues, the skills of connecting bones will be lost." It’s going to be useless.”

Shu Yu was speechless, "That's because your price is too high. As long as it's a little lower, with your medical skills, more people will come to seek medical treatment."

Speaking of this, Doctor Xu suddenly fell silent, his expression a little vicissitudes of life, "I didn't want to set the price so high. At the beginning, it was really out of necessity."

Is there any inside story here? Shu Yu couldn't help but leaned forward curiously.

Only then did Dr. Xu talk about the difficulties of the medical clinic. In the early years, he had offended the magistrate of Jiangyuan County. Oh, that's the corrupt official who was killed by Xiang Weinan.

The county magistrate was a vengeful man, so he was naturally unwilling to let Doctor Xu go.

But fortunately, Dr. Xu has good skills and has made many connections before. Not only from this county, but also from other places. Otherwise, he would not have sold the scar removal cream to the capital.

Someone came to help Dr. Xu, so the county magistrate did not send him to prison directly.

But it also caused heavy losses to Dr. Xu, and it took him a long time to regain his strength and open the medical clinic.

But even so, the county magistrate couldn't deal with him on the surface, but secretly he made small moves frequently. The eldest son of the magistrate's family would find someone to cause trouble from time to time.

Dr. Xu was in so much pain that the patients who came to see him were even more injured and frightened to the point where they no longer dared to seek medical treatment.

Over time, except for those rich, powerful and well-connected people who came to Dr. Xu's medical clinic, ordinary people did not dare to come at all.

However, there are only so many wealthy and powerful families, and there are even fewer patients.

The medical center began to be unable to make ends meet and gradually fell into disrepair.

Doctor Xu also thought about leaving Jiangyuan County and starting over somewhere else.

But this was his ancestral home, and the graves of his parents and wife were all here. He didn't want to wander around alone and end up dying in a foreign land.

Secondly, even if he wants to go far away, he still needs guidance. With the county magistrate stuck there, he won't be able to go far at all.

Dr. Xu had no choice but to get on with his life, so he slowly raised the fee.

The people who come to him for medical treatment are wealthy people who come for his medical skills. In fact, these people don't care about spending a few more dollars, as long as they can be cured.

There are few patients and high expenses. Dr. Xu's medical clinic is still open like this, barely able to maintain the expenses.

"When you asked me to cooperate and sell me the prescription for the scar removal cream, the money I could use was actually all my household expenses."

The medical center had to be maintained, the medicine boy had to be paid, and the medicines for the patients were all the best. He had to keep them on hand at all times, which cost a lot.

Shu Yu was surprised, "What if I had offered a higher price?"

"Then I can only borrow it. I can still borrow one or two hundred taels of silver."
