C218 Heartwood

Baili Jinxiu sneered, looked at Wang Mengcai who was standing opposite him trying to steal something, and protected the miserable Xu Niangzi behind him.

"Stealing from a woman? Are you a man or not?"

Baili Jinxiu crossed his arms across his chest and looked at Wang Mengcai with contempt.

Wang Mengcai was originally an Elementary Scholar, the person who loved to show his face the most, but now that he heard Baili Jinxiu's words, his eyes burned with rage.

"Who are you? This is between me and her. She has delayed my life for a long time, and now I have listened to their family members not to go to the Imperial Examinations and become a doctor.

But now she can't have a baby, and she wants to leave me. I, Wang Mengcai, have a clear conscience. If you don't believe me, you can ask these fellow villagers here. "

"That's right, the people of Dr. Wang are very good. This Miss, don't meddle in other people's business. "

"Every time Dr. Wang helps us diagnose our injuries, he will always charge less. Compared to the pharmacy, Dr. Wang is really a great person …"

Hearing such praise, the corner of Baili Jinxiu's lips slightly twitched. Behind him, Xu Niangzi tightly hugged the box on her chest, her face completely wooden.

It was as if such biased words were already normal to her. However, when Baili Jinxiu turned his head to look at her, he could see the unwillingness in her eyes.

Baili Jinxiu was furious again, if he was not willing, then what right did he have to make these people bully him?

"Is this yours?" Baili Jinxiu asked Xu Niangzi in an ice-cold voice. Upon hearing Baili Jinxiu's words, Xu Niangzi nodded at him and said.

"This Miss, this is something from my mother's family."

"Do you want to give this to this person?" Baili Jinxiu pointed to Wang Mengcai who was standing opposite of him, and said.

Xu Niangzi raised her head to look at Wang Mengcai's pretty and fair face. However, what was reflected in his eyes was not a fair face, but a scarlet revulsion.

"No, what right does this wolf-hearted thing have to take my things? Ever since my family recruited him, he didn't dare to do anything, saying that he wanted to take the exam.

But after so many years, I still haven't been able to pass the exam, and I'm still disgusted that I don't have the means to be reared. So what if I can't raise a child? Is it because I have no way to raise you that I'm delaying your exam title?

When my parents died, you said that you had to learn the medical book, so I gave the pharmacy to you to take care of. But now that you've taken away the pharmacy my parents left me, you want me to give you a concubine?

Wang Mengcai, you are dreaming. We've already left each other, so don't ever think about getting anything from me again. "

Maybe that woman had been suppressed for too long, or maybe during the argument between her and Wang Mengcai, no one had ever protected her.

Now that Baili Jinxiu had stood out, Xu Niangzi's sorrowful voice completely released the grievances in her heart.

When Wang Mengcai heard these words, his face showed disapproval, and instead said indifferently: "You cannot have children, could it be that you want my Wang family to have no descendants?

Since you are unable to give me a child, then you should think for the future of our Wang family. But you are jealous. You even forced me to leave you.

Now that I'm familiar with pharmacology, if you give me that book, I can benefit the people. Fellow villagers, tell us, I, Wang Mengcai, have always treated everyone with caution.

If I meet a family in need, I won't accept any money. I've obtained medical skills, and I'll benefit the neighbors in the future. Is that wrong? "In the hands of the Xu, it would only be a waste of things."

"That's right, Xu Niangzi, don't go too far. You and Dr. Wang were husband and wife after all, and now that you are unwilling to treat others, Dr. Wang is doing this for everyone's benefit. "

"That's right, Xu Niangzi, hand over the medical manual."

The people around him should be the neighbors, but they were all helping Wang Mengcai.

He Sheng and Zi Shan looked gloomy when they heard it. It was obvious that they were stealing someone's family property, but why would it be normal for them? It was ridiculous.

Meanwhile, Jin Xiu was already anxiously staring at Wang Mengcai with a smile. This fellow was simply using the pressure of public opinion to force Xu Niangzi, a woman who had already broken off relations.

Wang Mengcai looked at Baili Jinxiu's sharp eyes and felt uneasy. However, when he thought about the medical manual in Xu Niangzi's hands, he realized that it was the medical manual passed down by the ancestors of the Xu family.

"This Miss, I wonder where you came from? However, looking at how you don't seem like a local, since you don't know about the matter between the Xu and I, it's best if you don't meddle in it. "

Wang Mengcai's words were rather cryptic, but the meaning behind his warning had been clearly conveyed.

Baili Jinxiu laughed coldly: "What if I do?"

"That will depend on whether the neighbors will agree or not." A sinister smile flashed across Wang Mengcai's face, and everyone around was also pointing and talking at Baili Jinxiu.

It was very obvious that everyone around Wang Mengcai was helping him.

"Miss, let's not meddle in this anymore." Seeing that all the people in the vicinity were helping Wang Mengcai in a way that wasn't on par with their standards, Yew felt a little apprehensive in her heart.

Xu Niangzi looked at the worried expression in Zi Shan's eyes, then looked at her neighbor, who was nearby, and said to Jin Xiu with a smile.

"Miss, you don't need to cause too much trouble. This matter has nothing to do with you. Even if I were to tear this book apart, I will not give it to this heartless person. "

Xu Niangzi said as she opened the box, and was about to tear the medical book in her hand.

"Wait a moment."

Wang Mengcai and Jin Xiu shouted out at the same time, but He Sheng had already quickly patted on the back of Xu Niangzi's hand, snatched over the medical book, and passed it over to Baili Jinxiu.

"Xu Niangzi, right? You don't have to worry, since you want to destroy this medical book, you might as well save some silver to live a good life in the future. Let me ask you, are you selling this medical book? "

When she flipped through the medical books, she saw that they were filled with cases of difficult cases. Speaking of which, it couldn't even compare to the solo book that his little disciple Wen Hechu had shown him.

However, it could also be seen that the techniques in the medical manual were extremely rich. If he could get help from them, it would definitely be a huge help to him.

"Miss wants it?" Xu Niangzi looked at Baili Jinxiu who was wearing a white brocade dress. Even though there was no gold hairpin or jade ring on her head, she could tell that she was no ordinary woman.

Baili Jinxiu nodded, smiled and waved his hand: "You unscrupulous man, since you want the medical book, right? Then Xu Niangzi and I will spend a hundred and fifty liang of silver to buy this medical technique.
