Chapter 406: Gratitude
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Erlang? They all say that he’s like Hades.” Mrs. Luo froze for a moment before she couldn’t help but laugh and explain in a low voice, “However, he’s a fair and just Hades.”
The commoners were naturally afraid of the Imperial City government and Lu Ze. However, although the commoners were afraid, it wasn’t that they didn’t know right from wrong. Although he was ruthless after coming to the northern region, he didn’t target the commoners. Instead, he targeted those evil people who had once abused their power in the northern region.
The citizens of Cloud Mountain City were much better off now. Everyone saw this change, so they were naturally grateful to him.
Therefore, after knowing that General Wei Bei would preside over the ceremony the next day, a large number of people expressed joy. After all, compared to the Fourth Prince, who had never appeared in public in the northern region, Mr. Wei Bei, who would definitely stay in the northern region to take care of them in the future, was more popular.
Lin Suisui was about to prepare Lu Ze’s clothes for tomorrow when Yin Qiao rushed in from outside and reported that Sun Zhou wanted to see Lin Suisui.
“I heard that the county governor decided on this lawsuit very quickly. Madam Sun, no, she should be called Madam Zhou now. She gave Sun Yunzhong 500 taels of silver and a manor in the suburbs of the capital as the settling-in fee. After all, over the years, Sun Yunzhong had been operating the Pauling Medical Center conscientiously.
As for Sun Ruxing, he would be Zhou Ruxing from now on. He would enter the Zhou family’s genealogy and become the head of the family in the future.
…..
She came here to thank you.”
After Lin Suisui thought about it for a moment, she nodded and asked Yin Qiao to invite her in.
Zhou Huiniang brought her daughter-in-law to visit this time.
They bowed to Lin Suisui very politely and sat down. Then, Zhou Huiniang said to Lin Suisui apologetically, “It’s all our fault for causing trouble for you previously.”
Now that I’ve chased Sun Yunzhong out, I’ve also instructed the Pauling Medical Center to suspend operations. I’ll open it again after I sort out the accounts and herbs inside.
After Pauling Medical Center opens again, for an entire month, Pauling Medical Center will treat anyone who comes unconditionally.
This is also to repay the sins and mistakes of the Pauling Medical Center.”
Zhou Huiniang’s attitude was extremely good, but no matter what, she and Sun Yunzhong were still husband and wife. Didn’t she know that Sun Yunzhong was using the Pauling Medical Center for profiteering?
Moreover, every time Sun Yunzhong appeared, he would be accompanied by Sun Ruxing and his son. If Sun Yunzhong didn’t tell Zhou Huiniang, Sun Ruxing and his son should have told her, right?
At that time, she didn’t stop them. Now, although it wasn’t too late to make up for it, what had she done previously?
“She has been living in the manor outside the city.” As if sensing Lin Sui’s doubts, Sun Ruxing’s wife, Mrs. Zhao, who was sitting beside Zhou Huiniang, explained tactfully, “She has been living there since more than ten years ago and has never returned. My father-in-law didn’t allow us to visit her previously.
If we went, we would definitely be punished when we returned.
Moreover, not to mention others, even my husband didn’t know that his surname should be Zhou and not Sun.
Actually, my husband did know about my father-in-law using Pauling Medical Center for profiteering, but my husband has already persuaded him and said what he needed to say. He didn’t listen to my husband.
Now, my husband has already realized his mistake and he also discussed with my mother just now that in the future, Pauling Medical Center will do volunteer consultations for three days a month for free. No matter what, it’s a form of atonement.”
“But I don’t understand. Since you already knew that Sun Yunzhong wasn’t a good person, why didn’t you make the decision earlier?” As Lin Suisui looked at Zhou Huiniang, she recalled what Lu Ze had told her previously.
Actually, when Sun Yunzhong first showed his true colors, Zhou Huiniang’s parents were still alive. If they had taught Sun Yunzhong a lesson at that time, he probably wouldn’t have become more ambitious and the situation wouldn’t have gotten out of hand.
“At that time, my father and mother were worried that people would gossip. Moreover, our family was very unhappy about the marriage. I was my father and mother’s only daughter. If not for Sun Yunzhong, the family would have had sufficient reason to interfere in our family’s matters.
At that time, my father had always been in poor health, so for the sake of our family, he could only endure it for the time being.
I originally thought that he knew how to put himself in other people’s shoes, but in fact, he’s very greedy.”
At the mention of the past, Zhou Huiniang looked disappointed and she raised her hand to cover her face in frustration. After a long silence, she explained to Lin Sui, “Fortunately, everything is in the past now.
All of this is thanks to you. If not for you, our family would probably still be living in misery.
With Sun Yunzhong’s personality, it’s impossible for him to hand the Pauling Medical Center over to Ruxing. He’s only thinking about his cousin and the son his cousin had given birth to for him.
He has always felt that Ruxing is a source of humiliation to him!
But if my father hadn’t taken them in back then, their family would have starved to death in the snow!”
Lin Suisui didn’t ask further about this past that involved family matters and only nodded. Then, she saw Zhou Huiniang take a box from the servant behind her and place it on the table beside Lin Suisui with both hands.
“This is the bone reconnection method passed down from our family’s ancestors. Our family opened the Pauling Medical Center in Cloud Mountain City with this. There are records of the bone reconnection method and related prescriptions.”
Zhou Hui’s mother handed the slightly yellowed booklet to Lin Sui. “The reason Sun Yunzhong hasn’t divorced me previously is that he hasn’t obtained this yet.
Now, I’m giving this medical book to you as a thank-you gift.
The few bone reconnection methods and external injuries can be used by medical officers in the northern region. I can’t help with anything else, but I can help out by giving this to you.”
“This is a medical book passed down in your family, so it’s not appropriate to give it to me like this.” As a doctor, Lin Suisui naturally knew the value of the medical book Zhou Huiniang handed over, so she rejected it.
However, Zhou Huiniang was very determined to give her the medical book. In the end, after declining for a while, Lin Suisui finally had a suggestion that both sides could accept. “How about this? I can’t accept your medical book, but I can borrow it for a few days before returning it. This way, your family won’t lose the medical book..”
