She did not expect to encounter an ancient version of a medical dispute!
Chu Qingzhi turned to the man, speaking in a calm tone that felt especially profound to the listeners, “Your father is quite capable, working in the fields with a wound, even getting it wet. The infection and worsening of his wound have nothing to do with anyone else.”
The bystanders, after hearing this, started accusing, “What a filial son you are, making your injured father work, and now you come here to blame others. Where do you get the nerve?”
“Seriously, talking without taking responsibility. With a son like you, your father must have suffered a lot. He’s had a hard life.”
“Indeed, his father is clearly in pain, and he runs off to blame others first. I don’t understand his thinking!”
Their words, one after another, reached the man’s ears, making his face turn red. For the first time, he felt so helpless and embarrassed, wishing he could find a hole to hide in.
Yuan Hongjun and others approached Chu Qingzhi.
“Master.”
“Qingzhi.”
“Fifth Sister.”
The bystanders started discussing again…
“Isn’t that Miss Chu who organized the food festival? No wonder she looks familiar.”
“Yes, indeed. She changed her outfit, so I didn’t recognize her at first.”
“Never thought Qingning was Miss Chu’s sister. Both sisters are so capable. I wish 1 had daughters like them.”
Chu Qingzhi said to Yuan Hongjun and the others, “There’s no need to check his wound. Let them go to a medical hall instead.”
“Yes.” The grievance in everyone’s hearts was relieved.
Visiting a medical hall would cost a lot of money, which caused the man and the elderly man to worry. Their previously arrogant demeanor instantly deflated like a fire doused with water.
The man started making noise again, “You’re running a free clinic, why won’t you treat my father’s injury?”
With Chu Qingzhi’s support, Chu Qingning felt more confident, “Didn’t you just say we were quacks? How can quacks treat injuries?”
Yuan Hongjun added, “Besides, you wouldn’t let us check the wound. Since you don’t trust us, it’s better to go to a medical hall, right?”
Bao Linjiang also said, “We’re all out here to deceive people, so we can’t cure your father’s illness. You should seek someone more skilled!”
The crowd’s gaze towards the man and his father was full of contempt, seeing them as typical examples of those who bite the hand that feeds them.
The man felt that he had shot himself in the foot. He panicked. “I was talking nonsense. I’m sorry. Please treat my father’s wound.”
He staged all this to avoid paying for treatment, worried that the free clinic would charge them due to their own fault. He never expected his plan to backfire so spectacularly.
No one paid him any attention, leaving him to deal with the situation as he wished.
After making a fuss for a while and seeing that everyone still ignored him, he ran off, leaving his father behind.
The elderly man looked at his son with disappointment in his eyes.
The elderly man remained sitting there, from noon until the clinic closed. Seeing his pitiful state, they eventually decided to dress his wound.
The old man cried as he knelt down to thank everyone and apologize. After crying for a while, he limped away.
Everyone sighed.
In the Chu Village.
After leaving the free clinic area, Chu Qingzhi delivered some items back to the workshop. She joined everyone for lunch and then returned to Chu’s village.
The wasteland had been fully cultivated and was ready for planting.
Chu Qingzhi took the seeds she had soaked early in the morning and headed to the fields, planning to plant them all today.
Xiao Chen came running over to take the tray from Chu Qingzhi’s hands, “You don’t need to do this yourself. Just call us if you need help.”
“Alright, I’ll call you next time.”
The wasteland was divided into ten sections, each for a different type of seed.
As everyone worked on the land, several villagers spontaneously came over with hoes to help.
Chu Qingzhi silently noted their names in her mind, planning to thank them later.
By sunset, all the seeds were planted.
Chu Qingzhi called Xiao Chen and others over, paid them for their work, and then said, “1’11 need your help digging a pond tomorrow.”
“Yes, yes, yes. We’ll come tomorrow morning.” Xiao Chen held the silver tightly and felt touched. When he agreed, he didn’t hesitate at all.
After Xiao Chen and the others left, Chu Qingzhi took some biscuits and sent them from door to door. Everyone declined and did not accept them, but Chu Qingzhi stuffed them into their hands. They should be rewarded for their work.
Chu Qingzhi returned to the wasteland and walked around it. Actually, she quite liked farming. Seeing the sprouts slowly grow, grow, and mature, she felt an indescribable satisfaction in her heart.
“Qingzhi.” Tang Jinghong walked over, followed by the leisurely Da Bai and the three scared wolves.
Ever since Da Bai came to the Chu Village, it had taken over the alpha position, and the three wolves had been plotting revenge. However, Da Bai was too strong, and they had yet to succeed.
Chu Qingzhi turned to look at Tang Jinghong. “I haven’t seen you for the entire day. Where did you go?”
Tang Jinghong reached out and tidied Chu Qingzhi’s hair that was messed up by the wind. “I didn’t go anywhere. I had been at home. You were too busy. You left early and returned late. I haven’t seen you for a day.”
Chu Qingzhi looked up at the setting sun. “The day is almost over.”
“A day passes very quickly.” Tang Jinghong asked with concern, “Is there anything else? If there is, 1 can help you.”
“I plan to chop bamboo to fence off this land. The villagers have raised a lot of chickens. They will damage the sprouts.”
“Okay, I’ll go back and get the machete.”
“I’ll wait for you near the bamboo forest with Da Bai. 1 haven’t been with Da Bai for a day.”
“Okay.”
Tang Jinghong turned to go home, while Chu Qingzhi walked with Da Bai towards the bamboo forest.
When the three wolves saw Chu Qingzhi touching Da Bai’s head, they also wanted to come over and ask for a pat. However, after taking two steps, they received a death threat from Da Bai and dared not approach, looking at Chu Qingzhi with extremely aggrieved eyes.
Chu Qingzhi smiled, “Da Bai, you can treat them as your followers. It won’t affect your alpha position, and you’ll have a few more helpers.”
These words made sense. Da Bai turned around to look at the three wolves and let out a few low roars.
The three wolves lowered their ears as a sign of submission. They howled a few times, reluctantly accepting their role as a subordinate.
Chu Qingzhi comforted them, “Being Da Bai’s followers is quite impressive, don’t feel aggrieved.”
When the three wolves saw Chu Qingzhi talking to them, their grievances instantly disappeared and they ran over.
Actually, being followers wasn’t so bad; they could be close to their master. Ever since Da Bai came to the village, they hadn’t been close to a master for a long time.
However, they didn’t stay for long before Da Bai chased them away. Sharing a little bit was okay, but too much was not acceptable..
