"Actually, it wasn't a big deal. During those days, there were a lot of villagers falling ill. They waited at Divine Doctor Wen's door, hoping she would co out and help treat their sicknesses. But after waiting a few days without seeing her, a few people lost their patience and barged in. It was only then that Divine Doctor Wen ca out, and we found out she was sick herself."
The man didn't dare to say the rest, like how even after she fell ill, she was forced to treat another man's wife while being threatened by villagers. Not only did they demand her help with no intention of paying a single penny for her services.
Even when Wen Jinjin said that she would charge for her dical services and asked them to maintain order, those people acted as if they didn't hear her. Forget about forming a line; they even questioned why Wen Jinjin treated others for free but charged them.
"Then why did you only tell half the story before? Why didn't you ntion she was sick? Were you trying to make the villain or were you using for your own convenience?"
The dark-skinned man initially just wanted to do a good deed but realized at the crucial mont that he was being used. The feeling of being exploited was truly awful.
"Brother Zhou, we didn't an it like that. At the ti, Er Gouzi's wife was dying. He had no choice and acted impulsively by barging in like that. Now he's at ho, full of regret."
Soone hurried to justify themselves, trying to stop the dark-skinned man from asking more questions. After all, they weren't in the right, and they understood the nature of the dark-skinned man better than anyone. If he found out and stopped helping them, what would they do?
"Er Gouzi regrets it? I rember when Er Gouzi's wife fell ill, I even helped him find a doctor. The doctor told Er Gouzi refused to pay, so he left. Later, Er Gouzi went looking for Divine Doctor Wen. Watching his own wife dying, he still wouldn't seek another doctor. Don't tell this is all because he just wanted to save money and get cheaper dicine from Divine Doctor Wen?"
Now it was obvious, the dark-skinned man was extrely intelligent. He quickly figured out the hidden truth, getting it almost entirely right.
"Er Gouzi is poor and couldn't co up with the money. Otherwise, who would let their wife lie at death's door and not have the doctor prescribe dicine?"
These words may work on others but saying this to him was just asking for trouble.
"You think I don't know? Recently, Er Gouzi divided the land, leased it out, and made a good sum. That money would have been enough to treat his wife. Why didn't he use it?"
Wasn't it just to save money?
Tang Rao watched the scene of internal strife unfold, with dogs biting dogs, and suddenly didn't want to interrupt their heated debate.
"Brother Zhou, Er Gouzi was wrong, but it was just him. The others are innocent. When Divine Doctor Wen returns to the Peach Blossom Land, we'll make sure Er Gouzi apologizes. What do you think?"
Among the villagers, the young n started to panic. So shared the sa thoughts as the dark-skinned man, planning to pursue Wen Jinjin when she returned to Peach Blossom Land. Others genuinely needed her dical help, so they followed along, hoping she'd co back to stay.
But regardless of their reasons, the ones whose words counted were not the villagers speaking but Wen Jinjin, observing coldly, and her 'husband' Tang Rao.
"Divine Doctor Wen, considering our sincerity, please agree to co back to Peach Blossom Land with us?"
They still wanted Wen Jinjin to go back with them?
"Hey, have you even considered my opinion? I have no intention of going back, and you've already decided for ?"
At this point, if Wen Jinjin didn't step forward to say sothing, her life might just be entirely arranged for her.
"Divine Doctor Wen, we were wrong before. We'll never let you suffer such grievances again. If you're willing to go to Peach Blossom Land, I promise you'll beco the most esteed person there."
The most esteed person in Peach Blossom Land?
Wen Jinjin never cared about such a title in Peach Blossom Land and didn't need those grand titles.
"No need. I'm out of herbs. Even if I returned to Peach Blossom Land, I wouldn't have any dicine for you."
Without herbs, even if she diagnosed patients, knowing their ailnts wouldn't help; the lack of dicine ant the illness couldn't be treated. Even if she went to Peach Blossom Land, she couldn't do anything.
"It's alright. We can pay in Purple Crystal for your services. We can source the herbs ourselves, so you won't have to worry."
The villagers offered such 'generous' terms to coax Wen Jinjin back, illustrating how much they valued her.
"Hearing those attractive conditions almost tempts , but no matter how favorable the conditions, they can't compare to the comfort of staying at my own ho, so please, go back!"
Wen Jinjin bead at the group, leading them to believe she might agree, but her next words dashed those hopes entirely.
"My 'wife' has made it perfectly clear. Given our small spot in Kao Shan Sect, we can't accommodate all of you, so please, head back."
Tang Rao was satisfied with Wen Jinjin's response and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up, praising her.
The villagers looked at each other. Having co such a long way only to return empty-handed; wasn't this a bit too humiliating?
"No, Divine Doctor Wen must return with us. Your house is on our Peach Blossom Land. Even if you don't want to return, you need to go back and deal with the land first!"
Their excuse was rough and full of loopholes, yet they dared to argue with such self-righteousness. The people standing behind Tang Rao, prepared with weapons, were signaled multiple tis by Tang Rao to hold off.
"Consider the house a gift to those without a place to stay, no need to thank . Let it be my last good deed for the people there."
Tang Rao marveled at Wen Jinjin's generosity, seeing her as nothing short of radiant. His woman had such a kind heart?
Gift it? There's no way they dared claim it. If they were set on bringing Wen Jinjin back, no one in Peach Blossom Land would dare to take the house.
So the land still needs Wen Jinjin to handle personally.
