Chapter 258 - Doctor Zhang is Angry
Chapter 258: Doctor Zhang is Angry
The next day, Li Cuihua brought Lin Sanniu over to cause a ruckus.
But what Li Cuihua didn’t expect was that Lin Yuelan wasn’t home.
Lin Yuelan wasn’t home, but Doctor Zhang was there with Xiao Tong. They were busy tending to some herbs in the courtyard, and occasionally they would hoe and pull out the weeds.
Doctor Zhang was an outsider. Li Cuihua would not be kind to any outsider. However, Doctor Zhang was a special case. He was a doctor. Usually, when the villagers had a headache or fever, they would ask doctor Zhang to take a look. When the poor families really could not afford the medical expenses, Doctor Zhang would kindly give them free treatment. The villagers were extremely grateful for this.
Therefore, even though Doctor Zhang was an outsider, no one dared to offend him. After all, he was the only doctor in the entire village. If they had a headache or a fever, they would either go to Doctor Zhang or go to the clinic in town. However, the journey to the town clinic was long and the expense would be especially high. For most farmers, their life savings would be gone when they got ill. Therefore, normal farmers wouldn’t dare to offend doctors, especially those highly-skilled ones.
Although Lin Laosan’s family was selfish and greedy, and Li Cuihua was shrewish and unreasonable, they still had to give Doctor Zhang some face. When they met Doctor Zhang on the road, they had to greet him respectfully.
Even though Doctor Zhang had announced to the public that Lin Yuelan was his grand-disciple, Lin Laosan’s family didn’t dare to do anything openly to Doctor Zhang. They could only secretly hate Lin Yuelan for being so lucky.
When Li Cuihua saw that it was Doctor Zhang who opened the door, she immediately panicked. She said to Doctor Zhang, embarrassed, “Doctor Zhang, why are you here?”
Doctor Zhang had never had a good impression of Lin Laosan’s family, especially the shameless and selfish Li Cuihua. Even if he didn’t have a relationship with Lin Yuelan, Doctor Zhang would think the same way.
Now that Lin Yuelan was his grand-disciple, he had to protect the poor girl.
Doctor Zhang’s face was expressionless. His sharp eyes swept over Li Cuihua and Lin Sanniu behind her. He coldly said, “what’s the matter?”
Doctor Zhang was the medical saint that even the officials and nobles had to curry favor with. Even if he was hiding in secret, he still had the aura of a master doctor.
Usually, Doctor Zhang would restrain his aura, but since these people came with ill intentions to harm his grand-disciple, he would not be polite.
......
Instantly, Li Cuihua, Lin Sanniu and the rest immediately felt a lot of pressure on their shoulders. They felt it difficult to breathe. Their backs were drenched in cold sweat, and they did not know why it was happening, but they felt fear and terror.
After a while, Li Cuihua’s reaction eased, and then she looked at Doctor Zhang with fear and horror.
However, she regained her courage when she thought of her goal that day. To her, money was her life.
Li Cuihua said, “Doctor Zhang, is that damn jinx at home?”
When Doctor Zhang heard Li Cuihua call Lin Yuelan a condemned jinx, his face immediately darkened.
He said sternly, “Li Cuihua, the damn jinx you speak of is currently learning medicine from me. She is my grand-disciple. You’re now insulting her in front of me. Are you doing this on purpose?”
Li Cuihua’s heart trembled, and she was a little stunned.
Although they had long heard that the jinx was studying medicine under Doctor Zhang, they didn’t think much of it. They believed that Doctor Zhang was just doing it out of interest.
Thus, when they were sternly questioned by Doctor Zhang, they were stunned.
Doctor Zhang was an outsider. Even though he was the only doctor around, he couldn’t bully the locals.
Li Cuihua immediately said with slight anger, “Doctor Zhang, this is a matter between my Lin family and the damn jinx. This is a matter of the Lin Family Village. Please don’t meddle in this.” What she meant was that an outsider like him had no right to interfere in the Lin family Village’s affairs.
When Doctor Zhang heard this, he raised his head and glanced at the crowd that was watching the show. Many people clearly agreed with Li Cuihua.
