There are already several elders who have always been quite prestigious in the village at the home of Village Chief Lu.
Qiao Huaping went in, and the Lu family quickly poured a bowl of hot water for Qiao Huaping: "Ms. Qiao, warm yourself up first."
Qiao Huaping waved his hand: "I heard something happened to Dr. Zhu?...What happened?"
The news about Zhu Xiangyi was brought back by a young man doing odd jobs in the county.
At the end of the year, many families in the county were buying New Year's goods, so this young man went to a grocery store that sold New Year's goods to help move and unload the goods.
The grocery store where he worked was quite big, and many wealthy families liked to order their New Year's goods there. While he was moving the goods, he listened to the gossips of those wealthy families.
Unexpectedly, he also heard news about Dr. Zhu from these people.
The young man's face was pale and he was extremely anxious. In front of the clan elders and Qiao Huaping, he explained the matter again.
It was said that he heard two buyers chatting there, talking about the fortune at the end of the year, and they sighed with emotion, saying that Mr. Wu was very ill and was about to die, and the Wu family didn't know where they heard about the situation in the countryside.
Dr. Zhu, who is very skilled in medicine, went to the countryside.
They invited people over, but it turned out that there was no way to save Mr. Wu. Unfortunately, Dr. Zhu went there. Not long after, Mr. Wu died - so the Wu family planned to kill Mr. Wu.
The blame fell on Dr. Zhu, who said he still wanted to report to the official!
As soon as the young man heard "Doctor Zhu", he became anxious and asked around again. He was really Dr. Zhu in their village!
How is this possible?!
Dr. Zhu rescued his mother on the way to escape the famine. The young man immediately asked the shopkeeper for half a day's leave and ran back from the county to inform the village to see if there was anything they could do.
"What the hell is this!" Village Chief Lu became anxious, "Dr. Zhu took care of us all the way. If it weren't for Dr. Zhu, our whole village wouldn't have to come to this town like this. Dr. Zhu
It’s our business!”
This is indeed the case!
Several clan elders immediately said that they would ask the young people in the family to go to the county to help Dr. Zhu and cheer him up! Doctor Zhu must not be bullied!
Qiao Huaping thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry. I'll go to the county first to see what the situation is. If we really need people from the village, I'll have someone come back to call for people."
Qiao Huaping has a high prestige and handles things appropriately. Everyone hears what she says and does not respond.
The old scholar Guo threw his eldest grandson out again: "Ms. Qiao, please take my incompetent grandson with you. If there is anything that needs to be run, just ask him to do it, and treat him as a child."
Just ask the servant."
Qiao Huaping said, "It's difficult to walk on the mountain road because of the snow at the moment. I plan to ride there by myself, which will be more convenient."
Village Chief Lu sighed: "I have to trouble you again."
Qiao Huaping said with a smile: "Doctor Zhu took care of my house all the way. This is what we should do. But there is one thing, I have to ask you for a favor."
Everyone hurriedly said: "Ms. Qiao, just talk."
Qiao Huaping said: "I'm going to the county now, and I guess I won't be able to come back in time in the evening. I have five children at home. If any of you aunts at home are free, can you stay at my house for one night?"
Naturally, there was no need to talk about this matter. Everyone agreed, and finally decided to let the eldest daughter-in-law of Guo Laoxiucai's family and his second daughter-in-law go there together, and they could also be companions.
The matter was thus settled.
Qiao Huaping returned home, told the children about the matter, and took out the bedding from the guest room and spread it out.
After doing this, Qiao Huaping rode out the door.
There was snow everywhere on this mountain road. Even if Qiao Huaping was riding a horse, it took him half an hour longer than usual to reach the county seat.
She didn't delay and went to the Good Doctor's Hall first.
Uncle Kun heard about it and hurriedly came out to greet her: "Why are you here today, Mrs. Qiao? It's difficult to travel on this snowy road, but was it okay along the way?"
Qiao Huaping exchanged a few pleasantries with Uncle Kun and then got straight to the point: "Uncle Kun, I want to ask you something. In the past two days in the county, did an old man named Wu pass away in the house of a foreigner?"
Uncle Kun's expression changed: "That's what happened -"
When Uncle Kun told the story, it turned out that when Mr. Wu first fell ill, he had also asked the doctor from their Shan Yi Tang. They even bought the health-building pills that Shan Yi Tang sold on behalf of Qiao Huaping.
However, Jianshenjianti Pills are for replenishing qi and blood, and are not some magical medicine that can bring the dead back to life. Mr. Wu's condition only improved slightly, but he was not cured.
At that time, the Wu family was quite critical. If the Shanyitang family had not been so big and easy to mess with, I am afraid that the Wu family would have caused trouble——
Uncle Kun shook his head when he mentioned this.
He added: "Speaking of which, I heard that the Wu family found a doctor from the countryside. He just arrived at the Wu family for two days, and Mr. Wu passed away. Now the Wu family is clamoring to let the doctor from the country.
The doctor is asking for his life!"
Speaking of this, Uncle Kun paused and saw Qiao Huaping's expression turned bad: "Ms. Qiao, what's wrong?"
Qiao Huaping said in a deep voice: "The country doctor that the Wu family is looking for is Dr. Zhu from our village. Our village fled all the way to this town, thanks to Dr. Zhu's daily treatment and medicine. To be honest, Uncle Kun, I
I came here this time because I heard that Dr. Zhu was in trouble, so I came here."
