Chapter 413: Chapter 413: Queuing to See Doctor Xu_1

The enthusiasm had somewhat diluted in the next two days, but the sales were still quite good.

In just three days, half of the coal in one warehouse was sold, as well as one third of the quilts and winter clothes in the other.

The triple profit made Wei Ruo earn a significant amount of money.

Three days later, the temporary relief facility that Wei Ruo had envisioned was half built. Because of its simple structure, much of the timber used was readily available, and the craftsmen hired were skilled, so it took less time to build.

The structure of the relief station was simple but sturdy, entirely of wood, housing two large stoves, with three of the four walls partitioned with wooden boards and the fourth covered with a cloth curtain.

Once half of it was built, Wei Ruo immediately had people start using the built-in large stove to cook porridge and distribute it to the disaster-stricken people…

In less than half a day, news of the porridge distribution spread around.

Many people came in admiration, filling the area in front of the shelter.

The two large pots of porridge were all given out in less than half a day, more was cooked at noon, and distributed in the afternoon.

At the same time, the other part was also under vigorous construction.

This side was being made into a medical station, so its construction was relatively slow.

Although the medical station was not yet built, the news of Xu Heyou’s consultation had already spread.

Most people had not seen Xu Heyou, they had only heard of him last year during the epidemic.

However, the famous doctors in the city gave high praise to him, and the Government Office had also recognized his name and rewarded him for his achievements in controlling the epidemic, so everyone highly admired this unpublicized Doctor Xu.

Knowing that it was him who funded the relief station and provided food and free medical treatment, and that he would personally attend to the patients, the public was filled with anticipation.

The news spread within the Government City and also reached Wei Qingwan’s ears.

Wei Qingwan was familiar with the name Xu Heyou, because the Scar Removal Ointment she used came from this Doctor Xu.

After she had been applying Xu Heyou’s ointment for a while, the scars on her back had significantly lightened.

However, the ointment was consumed quite fast, almost half of the second box was gone and when the remaining half was finished, she would have to buy more.

But she did not have enough silver, she had tried all conceivable methods, but still lacked the money.

When the nurse Li went to Tongde Hall to buy Scar Removal Ointment for the second time, she tried to negotiate with the people of Tongde Hall.

But the people at Tongde Hall told her that they were just sales agents, and had no right to change the price.

To change the price, it must be agreed upon by Doctor Xu himself.

The people at Tongde Hall also said that Doctor Xu was very kind and would voluntarily reduce the price or even give his medicines for free to patients in difficulty.

If she could meet Doctor Xu himself, she might be able to persuade him to sell some at a lower price.

However, Wei Qingwan never had the chance to meet Doctor Xu himself and did not know where to find him.

But unexpectedly this time Xu Heyou himself was going to provide free consultation, and this was a rare opportunity to meet him in person.

So, Wei Qingwan had Cuihe go out and find out when the medical station would be finished.

After running around to find out, Cuihe brought back good news: the temporary medical station at the relief center would be completed in a couple of days, and the free clinic would most likely start immediately afterwards.

Weigh Qingwan sank into thought, her face looking very solemn.

“What’s the matter, Miss?” Cuihe asked with concern.

“I need to find a way to meet Doctor Xu.”

“Miss, you are a young lady of the General Residence, it’s inconvenient for you to go out, let me and my mother do it.”

“No, it’s more sincere if I go myself. In case you guys upset Doctor Xu, it will be difficult for me to see him again.” Wei Qingwan refused.
