Liu Kui suddenly looked up at Su Li and asked uncertainly, “Can you really cure

Su Li held her forehead helplessly. Why did this person only hear half of what she said?

Su Li explained, “I didn’t say that I could cure you, but I can guarantee that it will be better than now. Are you willing to give it a try?”

She did not see Liu Kui’s situation and did not dare to make a promise casually.

Liu Kui nodded hard and said, “I’m willing to try!”

In any case, he was already a piece of trash now. What was the difference between trying and not trying? Could it be worse than now? Su Li lifted Liu Kui’s blanket and began to examine him.

“Do you feel anything?” Su Li pressed Liu Kui’s waist.

Beads of sweat fell from Liu Kui’s forehead. He nodded and said, “It hurts!!” He felt like he almost lost his life when she pressed on his waist.

Su Li said in satisfaction, “Very good. The pain proves that you can still be saved!”

She was not afraid that he would be in pain, but she was afraid that he would not be in pain!

Su Li pressed Liu Kui’s thigh again. Compared to his waist, he didn’t feel anything on his thigh at all. It was as if Su Li wasn’t pressing his thigh.

“Don’t you feel anything?” Su Li asked.

Liu Kui said, “I don’t feel anything at all. It’s as if those aren’t my legs!”

Su Li checked a few more places and finally took his pulse. In the end, she concluded that Liu Kui’s nerves had been suppressed, so he could not feel his thigh. Furthermore, his waist was indeed broken, and the diagnosis given by those doctors was not wrong.

However, she could save people that others could not.

Liu Kui’s current symptoms were not incurable. Although it was a little complicated, he could still be saved.

“Can I still be saved?” Liu Kui asked nervously.

Su Li said, “Not only can you be saved, but you can also live a normal life like before.’

“Really?” Liu Kui’s face was filled with anticipation, hoping that Su Li would give him an affirmative answer.

Su Li nodded and said, “You can stand up, but there are many aftereffects. For example, you can’t sit for a long time. You’ll feel especially uncomfortable after a long time.”

Although she had a way to get Liu Kui to stand up again, he could not do heavy work in the future, nor could he sit for long periods of time. This was the so-called sequelae, but it was the best outcome for an injured person like Liu Kui.

When Liu Kui heard this, how could he be unwilling? Without thinking, he nodded and said, “Sure. As long as I can stand up, I’m willing to bear any consequences.”

Although he could not sit for long, it was better than lying on the bed. If he continued to be like that, he would just kill himself.

Su Li checked Liu Kui again and confirmed the treatment plan. She took note of the things to take note of during the surgery and all kinds of risks.

“You have to go to my house for surgery. Tell your family.”

Liu Kui said, “There’s only my old mother in the family. She’s old and doesn’t know anything. I don’t want her to worry.”

He didn’t expect to need his mother to worry about him at her age. He was really ashamed!

Su Li said, “You have to tell your family about this. Otherwise, I won’t dare to operate on you.”

If anything happened, she would not be able to take responsibility in the end.

Seeing Su Li’s determined expression, Liu Kui could only nod in agreement.

Seeing that Liu Kui had agreed to everything, Su Li began to talk about the conditions for the surgery. She wanted to expose Liu Kui’s thoughts and tell him her thoughts at the most critical moment. Otherwise, he would definitely not agree so readily.

“I’ve never operated on anyone for free. This surgery originally cost 600 taels. Seeing that we’re so familiar with each other, I’ll give you a fracture. Just give me 300 taels,” Su Li said.

Three hundred taels?

Liu Kui dug his ears to make sure that he had not heard wrongly. Was this not taking advantage of the situation?

“What did you just say?” Liu Kui’s voice was much louder.

Su Li said kindly, “The surgery fee is 600 taels. I’ll give you a discount and charge you 300 taels. This is on account of our previous acquaintance.”

Liu Kui lowered his head. “I don’t have money!”

The money had been taken away by that woman. There was nothing at home, so he could not take anything out for Su Li.

If it was in the past, he wouldn’t be able to take out six hundred taels of silver even if he sold himself!

Su Li said considerately, “It’s okay if you don’t have money. You can solve it in other ways.”

“How?” Liu Kui asked.

Su Li waited for him to say this and said with a smile, “When you’re better, work for me. The salary for your work will be deducted from your medical fees. Although you won’t be paid, I can provide food for you. This way, you don’t have to worry about starving to death!”

Liu Kui chuckled when he heard Su Li’s words. “You said it yourself just now. I can’t even stand for a long time. Can I still work for you? I don’t want to go over and cause trouble for you!”

The corners of Su Li’s lips curled up as she said, “You can stand for a while and sit for a while. I didn’t ask you to maintain the same posture. If you can’t complete the mission, you can work slowly. One day, you’ll be able to pay off the medical fees.

Liu Kui:   ‘ This idea was really good!

However, this deal was a sure win for him. Only a fool would refuse.

Liu Kui nodded in agreement. “Alright, as long as I can stand up, I’ll work for you. I won’t ask for a single cent.”

Su Li corrected him. “It’s not that you don’t want your salary. It’s just that your salary is used to pay off your debt.”

Su Li took out the paper, ink, brush, and inkstone. She wrote a lot of words elegantly and placed them in Liu Kui’s hand.

“This is the agreement I wrote for you. If you think there’s no problem, sign it!” Liu Kui gave it a cursory glance before quickly signing his name.

Satisfied, Su Li put the paper into her pocket. These were all important things!

“Lie down. I’ll perform acupuncture for you.”

Su Li took out the silver needles and started to prick Liu Kui. This could reduce Liu Kui’s pain.

“What are you doing?” An old woman’s voice came from the door.

Su Li turned around and saw a white-haired old woman standing at the door, glaring at her.

At this moment, the person who could appear in this place should be Liu Kui’s mother.

Su Li smiled and greeted Old Madam Liu.

Old Madam Liu looked at Su Li warily. “Who are you? Where did you come from? Why have I never seen you before?”

Su Li did not know how to answer Old Madam Liu’s three consecutive questions.

Fortunately, Liu Kui spoke at this moment, “Mother, this is a doctor. She’s treating me!”

When Old Madam Liu heard that she was a doctor, her attitude improved a little.

Su Li continued to perform acupuncture on Liu Kui. Not long after, Liu Kui’s body was filled with needles.

Old Madam Liu looked at the needles on his body and said with heartache,

“Son, tell me the truth. Does it hurt?”

Liu Kui shook his head and said, “No!”

Old Madam Liu grabbed Su Li’s hand and asked, “Doctor, how’s my son’s health now? Can he still stand?”
