“Fifth Sister, our family really doesn’t have any money right now.” Qin Shen whispered in Yun Zheng’s ear with a gloomy expression. “Let’s forget it and go back.”
Dong Qiang said with a smug look, “I told you, the Qin family is a bunch of poor bast**ds. They can’t even afford medicine for their own sickly child. Aunt Lan, don’t be fooled. The Qin family might need your Wu family’s help later!”
Wu Lan’s face changed sternly. Before she could say anything to kick them out, Yun Zheng said seriously, “Aunt Lan, our family doesn’t have any money right now, but I have a way to cure asthma, and Uncle Wu will be able to jump around again in less than half a year.”
“You can cure asthma?”
Wu Lan seemed to have heard a fairy tale. They were neighbors and had lived in the same village for so many years. She had watched Yun Zheng grow up. Did she not know Yun Zheng’s capabilities? Spoiled by the Qin family, she didn’t know anything about farming or physical labor. She dropped out of high school before finishing her second year. Did she really deserve to know how to cure diseases?
The villagers shared Wu Lan’s opinion, mocking Yun Zheng for overestimating herself. If even a little girl could cure illnesses, then everyone could be a doctor.
Doctors were such a desirable profession; even the village’s barefoot doctors earned a considerable amount. If Yun Zheng could do it, why was the Qin family so poor?
Yun Zheng had anticipated this reaction. She had already prepared her words, her long eyelashes fluttering brightly. “Aunt Lan, you flatter me. How could I possibly cure illnesses? I just went to the market in town with my grandmother and happened to meet an old man. He took a liking to me and gave me a medical book. It happens to contain a method for treating asthma, so why don’t I give it a try?”
After all, she did have some medical books in her laboratory, so this was her source.
“Is it really that far-fetched?” Wu Lanshi asked suspiciously. “How do I know if what you’re saying is true?”
“Aunt Lan, don’t listen to her nonsense,” Dong Qiang shouted. “Who doesn’t know that it takes decades to gain experience in treating illnesses? If everyone could cure illnesses just by reading medical books, wouldn’t the whole world be full of doctors?”
Wu Lanshi agreed. If it were really as easy as Yun Zheng said, she could cure her own husband. So she said coldly, “Zheng girl, stop joking with your Aunt Lan. Your Uncle Wu’s life can’t wait. I’m begging you, please let our family go.”
“Aunt Lan, you said it yourself, this is a matter of saving lives. I wouldn’t joke with you. Just let me try. If it really doesn’t work, I’ll take my brother away immediately.”
Yun Zheng’s clear eyes sparkled. She was still the same as before, but her temperament had undergone a complete transformation, untouched by worldly concerns.
This made it difficult for everyone to continue mocking him. They even couldn’t help but wonder if Zheng was some kind of medical genius, capable of curing people simply by reading medical books.
“Mother Wu, let Zheng give it a try, cough cough cough…”
Wu Gensheng walked over weakly, leaning on his cane. His face was gaunt and pale, his eyes bulging, and the area around his eyes was bluish-purple.
Anyone who saw him would think he was ready to die.
“Dad.”
Wu Wanjun immediately stepped forward, supporting Wu Gensheng’s trembling hands.
“Good child, it’s all my fault for dragging you down.”
Wu Gensheng looked at Wu Wanjun with guilt, then said to Yun Zheng,
“Zheng girl, I don’t have many years left to live. If you really have a way to save me, you’ll be a great benefactor to our family.”
“Father Wu, Zheng girl is still a child. Don’t rush into things like this. It’s safest to go to town and find a doctor.”
