Chapter 50 - 50 Too Much Money

50 Too Much Money

This time, Zhou Tian’s attitude was very firm. “You must keep the money. If you need any medicinal herbs, just let me know. If I don’t have them, I’ll use all my connections to find them for you. I believe that you won’t lie to me, and I also believe that you can save Rou.”

Looking at Zhou Tian’s determined eyes, Xia Wan was touched.

She was no divine doctor and was just a teenage girl, but the other party was the boss of a pharmacy, and he trusted her so much.

Xia Wan put herself in Zhou Tian’s shoes. If she were Zhou Tian, she might not be able to trust someone so much.

In the end, she still accepted the red packet and said to Zhou Tian solemnly, “Don’t worry, Sis Xiao Rou. I can cure you.”

After telling Xiao Rou some things to take note of, Xia Wan left with Xia Chen. They had agreed to come back a few days later.

Only after they walked out of the building did Xia Chen dare to breathe.

Xia Wan opened the red packet containing a stack of red notes amounting to about 3000 Yuan.

Xia Chen’s eyes widened. “Why… Why did he give so much money?”

Zhou Tian’s grandfather used to be a village doctor, and whenever he treated the poorer village folk, he would only ask for eggs or potatoes. However, this time, Zhou Tian gave them three thousand Yuan directly, and it was only the deposit. If his sister really cured the person, how much money would Zhou Tian have to pay?

Xia Wan was also a little surprised. Zhou Tian had indeed given her a lot of money.

She put the money away and said to Xia Chen, “Brother, don’t tell mom and dad about this money first. If they know that I’m going to treat people, they won’t believe me. We’ll tell them the truth after I cure Sister Xiao Rou’s illness.”

Xia Chen immediately nodded. “I’ll do as you say.”

The two subsequently headed back to the village together. Because they had made money on this trip, they were in a good mood. However, this changed when they saw two groups of people fighting not far from their house.

“It’s obviously your girl who’s the mean one, and you still dare say it’s our son’s problem? Our son is good in every way. How can your Xia Ru compare? All girls are worthless goods, and your Xia Ru is only more lowly!”

“How dare you insult my Ruru?! I’m going to tear your mouth apart today. My daughter earns her keep and is pretty, unlike your Liu Shi? You’re usually lazy and don’t know anything. How can you compare yourself to our Ruru?”

The two groups gloated about their children’s achievements while looking down on each other. Worse, the two women pulled each other’s hair while the men started to fight.

Upon closer inspection, Xia Wan realized that most of the Xia family were present except her parents.

Xia Chen’s heart tightened, and he quickened his pace. “Let’s go and take a look. It seems our family is fighting with someone.”

“Yes.” Xia Wan nodded. In fact, she could roughly guess who the person was in her heart.

When she left the village, the women in the village were discussing Xia Ru and Liu Shi. They felt that it was a coincidence that they had contracted a strange disease at the same time and that the two of them must have done something indecent.

The two families weren’t deaf, so they naturally heard these remarks and found each other more than unsavory.

Meanwhile, Liu Shi’s mother, Liu Hua, was pulling Song Yan’s hair, angrily cursing. “This shameless girl raised by your family seduced our Liu Shi in the middle of the night. I was wondering why there was movement then. So, she’s from your family. You said that our Liu Shi seduced your Xia Ru, so why is she coming to our house? Our Liu Shi didn’t go out last night.”

Song Yan didn’t know that Xia Ru had gone out last night. When she heard Liu Hua’s words, she immediately retorted, “Stop bullshitting. Our Xia Ru didn’t even go out last night. Your Liu Shi must have sneaked out. You couldn’t watch over your own son, and now you’re trying to frame our Ruru. Look at your son. Who would like him?”

Liu Hua was furious. This Song Yan actually dared to call her son ugly. “You’re scolding my precious son? I’m going to tear your mouth apart today!”

As they spoke, the two of them continued their aggrieved tussle. With wildly disheveled hair, they looked no different from two lunatics.
