Wang Ye was in the sky, observing the situation in the entire village clearly, so he only needed a glance to determine the location of Doctor Xu.
As soon as Wang Ye looked towards Doctor Xu's side, he heard the sound of arguing between Doctor Xu and his wife.
Doctor Xu's wife was named Xu Xiuqin.
In the room.
These ordinary houses were as if they didn't exist to Wang Ye; he could see the situation inside with just one glance.
"Doctor Xu! Xu Qingfeng!"
Xu Xiuqin, hands on her waist, scolded Xu Qingfeng angrily: "You are noble! You are selfless! You use our money to treat Zhou Shu!"
"If it was before, when Hui Hui was still here, it wouldn't have been a problem, but now Hui Hui has gone to Nine Dragon Mountain for a long time. To put it bluntly, she's likely already..."
Xu Xiuqin knew she shouldn't say such things, so after a pause, she continued: "That money, we won't get it back."
Listening to Xu Xiuqin, Xu Qingfeng just sat there, looking at the medical book in his hand, appearing somewhat absent-minded.
Being scolded by his wife like this, his mind certainly couldn't focus on the medical book.
After all, Xu Xiuqin had spent a long time with Xu Qingfeng; seeing his state, she knew roughly what Xu Qingfeng was thinking, and with a sigh of helplessness, she spoke to Xu Qingfeng:
"I'm not blaming you, but you know, we really don't have much money now. Your choice to treat people in this village doesn't make a significant profit."
"In this situation, you're still letting many people in the village owe medical fees. Even knowing others' illnesses can't be cured, you're willing to continue; if this continues long-term, we'll really go bankrupt."
"I know."
If Xu Qingfeng smoked, the room would probably be filled with smoke by now, but his hand gripping the medical book tightened.
"But Hui Hui and Zhou Shu are just children. Seeing Zhou Shu suffering so much at such a young age, I can't bear it."
Xu Qingfeng said this.
Suddenly he fixed his gaze on Xu Xiuqin, speaking almost pleadingly: "I haven't treated him for three days! During these three days, everyone in the village still doesn't know he's been starving for three days."
"Little Hui Hui was very insistent before leaving. I promised her; I can't let her come back only to find her brother dead, right?"
"Besides, Hui Hui has already given all the money she could; I can't just watch a life slip away right in front of me."
Even though Xu Qingfeng had long been accustomed to life and death during his time treating people in the village, he still couldn't bear to watch a young person die in front of him.
Xu Xiuqin frowned slightly, seeming a bit moved, but soon she spoke to Xu Qingfeng:
"No, we can't keep spending money on him. You can't fully cure him, and who knows when Hui Hui will return. He's like a bottomless pit."
"Here's what, you can bring him meals. I'll make extra each time I cook, so he won't starve to death. As for his illness, we can't do anything about it."
"I... sigh!"
Xu Qingfeng looked helpless, but he knew by now his wife had made many concessions.
There was no prospect of persuading her further.
Wang Ye, above, listened to the conversation between Xu Xiuqin and Xu Qingfeng, and sighed slightly.
He had been listening to their argument; to him, both Xu Xiuqin and Xu Qingfeng were actually good people.
It's just that Xu Xiuqin was a bit more practical.
There is nothing wrong with being practical!
If it were him, he might have been more ruthless than Xu Xiuqin!
As for Xu Qingfeng, he had a good character. Wang Ye might consider passing him some medical knowledge if feasible.
After all, Wang Ye was very proficient in medicine during his time on Earth Star.
He could directly transmit some medical knowledge to him via the Great Dao Imprint, even without Wang Ye teaching him in person, Xu Qingfeng could become a Divine Doctor.
While Xu Qingfeng and Xu Xiuqin were at a stalemate over this, an excited, urgent voice came from outside:
"Doctor Xu! Uncle Xu, I'm back! And I got a tael of gold from Nine Dragon Mountain!"
Above.
Wang Ye sighed.
That silly girl!
Why yell so loudly!
Aren't you afraid others will know you've struck it rich!
Wang Ye had already seen two suspicious-looking individuals start heading elsewhere upon hearing Hui Hui's words.
Clearly, they were reporting something.
Xu Qingfeng and Xu Xiuqin exchanged glances at Hui Hui's words, and Xu Qingfeng immediately stood up with a start.
A tael of gold!
What does that represent?
Even if everyone in the village pooled their wealth, it wouldn't amount to half a tael of gold.
Regardless of whether Hui Hui's words were true or not, she couldn't keep shouting them here.
If someone with ill intentions heard, involving a tael of gold, they would certainly try to take it from them.
"Hui Hui! Hui Hui!"
Xu Qingfeng called loudly, trying to cover up what Hui Hui had just said.
He sprinted to Hui Hui's side and whispered in her ear: "Keep your voice down. If this gets out, bad people might get other ideas."
"Even if it's fake, don't let it spread!"
Later, Xu Qingfeng reminded Hui Hui again.
Clearly, Xu Qingfeng didn't believe Hui Hui truly had a tael of gold. Even if she wasn't lying, it might have been fake gold given to deceive her.
In the house.
Xu Qingfeng spoke to Hui Hui: "In the future, whether it's true or not, don't speak so loudly. A tael of gold is a substantial amount, even if fake, some people might take a chance."
"Oh, oh."
Only then did Hui Hui realize her mistake, and she responded twice.
