Chapter 821 - 822: Doing Publicity
Nianyang shrugged, "We did nothing wrong, even if she is the Princess, it doesn’t concern us at all."
The couple whose son was saved knelt down in front of Nianyang. The man said, "Thank you, Divine Doctor, thank you for saving my son, and even offending the County Lord’s daughter because of this. It’s all our fault."
The woman also said, "You are a great benefactor to our family. We are just poor folks and can’t do much for you. We can only pay you more for the medical expenses. Divine Doctor, name your price. No matter how much it is, we will give it to you, even if it means selling our pots and pans."
"Please get up. I’m a doctor, saving lives is my duty. It’s a matter of give and take, no need to be so polite."
Nianyang helped them up, smiling slightly, "In my view, patients are not distinguished by wealth or status. All patients are treated equally. Since you came first, I was supposed to save your son first. It’s perfectly normal."
The couple was deeply moved by this statement. Such a good doctor, so young, with such excellent medical skills.
They say talent makes young people arrogant, but this Divine Doctor is not arrogant at all, far kinder in conduct than those older, self-important doctors. Meeting such a good doctor is truly like smoke rising from their ancestors’ graves in good fortune.
Nianyang, in a joking tone, said, "Also, my place isn’t some black shop. The medical fees don’t need to be much, just the regular charges will do. If your family is short on money, you can pay sparingly, even in installments."
From the couple’s appearance, Nianyang could tell their financial situation was surely not good, and they probably couldn’t afford high surgical fees at once. To avoid embarrassment, she offered them a way out.
The couple didn’t expect Nianyang to be so understanding, and they felt deeply ashamed. Grateful once more, they insisted on writing an IOU for Nianyang, promising to repay in installments each month, and then they left with their son, looking relieved.
Watching them leave, Nianyang suddenly got an idea for gathering Faith Value.
Isn’t it said that the genuine gratitude and belief of the people in her medical skills are needed?
One surely isn’t enough; it requires many, so she can become famous, collecting lots of Faith Value. But for now, not many people seek her out for her medical skills.
Seeing the couple wearing factory workers’ uniforms, they must be employees, and there are many such factories in the remote areas of Pingjing, surely many families in difficult situations.
If Nianyang organizes a free health check-up event for the poor citizens, there would definitely be many attendees.
By then, would Nianyang still worry about not gathering enough Faith Value?
The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Hmm, the first Faith Value would be achieved.
With that decision, Nianyang discussed the health check-up plan with everyone. Of course, for everyone’s sake, she presented it as a way to boost Tongxin Hall’s reputation.
This plan received unanimous support, and after some discussion, they set the event to take place a week later on the weekend. Now it was time to prepare flyers for promotion.
Once business at Tongxin Hall was settled, it was time at home to try out the medicinal soap. As soon as Nianyang returned, the whole family, who had used the soap, enthusiastically surrounded her.
Shang Wan excitedly said, "Yangyang, your moisturizing medicinal soap is really effective. After using it for three days, my skin is so soft I can hardly believe it myself. Even when I was 18, my skin wasn’t this tender!"
