Auntie Liang said proudly and looked at the apples contemptuously.
“Kind Doctor?” Ye Lulu was stunned. She had never heard of such a thing. What was it?
Upon hearing Ye Lulu’s question, Auntie Liang felt even smugger as if she had picked up a huge bargain. She looked at the apples Ye Lulu and the rest had bought with even more disdain. She said to Ye Lulu:
“That’s right. You still don’t know about the Kind Doctor, right? He’s a doctor hired by the government. Our government does things well and loves the people. This was originally a doctor hired by the government, but the county magistrate said that he knew that many poor families in the city can’t afford to spend money on their children’s illnesses. Many young children couldn’t treat their illnesses and died prematurely. He said that he felt sorry for the young children, so he specially pushed this doctor out to treat the children of the entire Yuan City for free. He’s in front of the government’s door. We call this doctor ‘Kind Doctor’.”
“‘Kind Doctor’ is the nickname provided by the government to the doctor who treated the children for free. We commoners also call him that because he treated the children for free. Everyone praised him and said that he saved many children’s lives and treated many sick children. He’s a good person. He deserves to be called ‘Kind Doctor’.”
Auntie Liang looked up and said to the two of them, “In any case, if there’s a small problem, I’ll bring Dan Wa out to see the Kind Doctor. I won’t spend a single cent. I’m not afraid that Dan Wa’s body is weak.”
Dan Wa was Auntie Liang’s two-year-old son. He was just like his name. His face was like a peeled egg, and it was indeed round and white.
“Why would I need to spend so much money to buy these expensive fruits like you guys?”
Auntie Liang did not forget to criticize the apples they had bought.
When Ye Lulu heard about the Kind Doctor, she was a little surprised and felt that this was a good thing. In ancient times, medical conditions were indeed too poor. Many children died easily and this was indeed very dangerous.
The officials had invited this doctor to be a Kind Doctor. It was indeed good to have such a guarantee and that he was doing good deeds.
However, other than talking about Kind Doctor, Auntie Liang also wanted to belittle them for buying apples. “You two are really generous. You’re so rich. You even spent so much money to buy fresh fruits that only rich people can eat.”
Ye Lulu paused and smiled politely. “Not really. Everyone is different. My children are craving food, so I’ll let them eat something fresh.”
“These triplets have eyes. They’re more expensive than each of our babies. No child in our village can eat fresh fruits. Your Guan family’s three babies are amazing.”
She did not expect Auntie Liang to keep going.
Ye Lulu was already fake smiling, but she was still angry. She only smiled and said, “What are you saying? Which family doesn’t dote on their children?”
“No family would buy such expensive fruits like your Guan family. This is the style of a big family. They also spend money on fresh fruits. They are rich and dare to spend money. However, by relying on the fact that they gave birth to triplets, the Guan family has carefully held them in their hands and is willing to buy them anything.”
“The Guan family’s life is really good. They don’t look like people from the mountains anymore.”
That Auntie Liang still refused to let go and further insulted the Guan family. The focus was on Ye Lulu and Guan Chibei.
The smile on Ye Lulu’s face faded completely and the corners of her lips curled down.
