He looked at Li Cuihua and the others with a cold smile, “alright, I won’t meddle in the Lin family Village’s problem anymore. So, don’t come looking for me if you have any health problems.” At this point, he paused for a moment, then he changed the topic, “However, Lan ‘Er is now under my tutelage, so she is my grand-disciple, and her business is my business. How is this meddling?”
Doctor Zhang’s words were direct. ‘If you don’t want me to meddle in the Lin Family Village’s business, I won’t. In the future, if you have a headache or a fever, don’t come to me. As for Lin Yuelan’s matter, since she is my grand-disciple, I am going to meddle no matter what.’
As soon as Doctor Zhang’s words left his mouth, the people around him suddenly panicked.
Doctor Zhang’s medical skills were brilliant, and his treatment fees were very low. He even treated them for free most of the time.
If Li Cuihua really offended Doctor Zhang and he refused to treat them anymore, what should they do?
In an instant, some people immediately turned on Li Cuihua.
“Lin Laosan’s wife, your words are not right. Now, the entire village knows that Yuelan is learning medicine from Doctor Zhang. As the saying goes, a teacher for a day is a father for life. Doctor Zhang is like half a father to her now. So what’s wrong with him caring about Yuelan?” Lin Jiu’s wife spoke.
“Auntie, if you really want to look for that girl, just wait for her to come back. Why are you accosting Doctor Zhang?” The slightly younger man also said in dissatisfaction.
“Auntie, you said that Doctor Zhang is an outsider, but does that mean that you can offend him as you please? Or is your plan to drive Doctor Zhang out of our village?”
Everyone chimed in one after another, making Li Cuihua’s face pale.
However, Li Cuihua was an unreasonable person. She did not have a good relationship with most of the people in the village. Every two or three days, she would quarrel with this person and cause trouble with that person.
Li Cuihua’s face turned red with anger. She turned her head angrily and scolded those who had accused her, “what are you saying? When did I say I wanted to kick Doctor Zhang out of the village?” Of course, she was just arguing for argument’s sake.
Then, she angrily shouted at Doctor Zhang, “Doctor Zhang, I don’t care what relationship you have with that jinx, but I’m here today for a reason. This house,” She pointed at the small thatched cottage and said with conviction, “it’s the Lin family’s ancestral residence. In the past, we pitied the jinx and gave her a place to say. Now that she’s capable and rich, she’s not filial to her elders and parents. Therefore, as her elders, we have the right to take back the place she’s living in!” She was really thick-skinned. It made it sound like her family had given Lin Yuelan the house and land out of charity and not because Lin Yiwei forced them to.
Now, they were even taking back the house and land.
When Doctor Zhang heard this, his face immediately darkened. He said coldly, “Three years ago, this land and house deeds were given to Lan ‘Er. How can you say that this place still belongs to your family? Are you planning to rob her?”
Li Cuihua argued, “So what if we’re robbing her? The land and house that were given to her originally belonged to the Lin Family. If not for the village chief’s interference, my family would not have given them to this jinx.”
If Doctor Zhang didn’t argue with Li Cuihua, it would be meaningless.
He looked at the other villagers and said sternly, “Since everyone is here, I need you to be my witness. In the future, I refuse to treat anyone from Lin Laosan’s family, whether they have a headache, fever, or any other difficult diseases.”
Li Cuihua’s face turned ashen at his words.
Who wouldn’t get sick in their lives? Plus, some illnesses could cause death if they were not treated timely.
Thus, who wouldn’t be afraid of sickness and death?
