Chapter 334: Quite biased
The girl walked over to Aunt Wu, tugged at her sleeve, and whispered, "Mother, don't we have a prescription? Why are you giving her the most unpalatable and least effective folk remedy?"
The girl tilted her head, looking at Aunt Wu in confusion, and continued, "Mother, I really don't understand. Tian Guilan is such a cunning person, and you gave her a prescription, and it's such an unreliable one."
The girl blinked her eyes and asked Aunt Wu with a puzzled look on her face: "Mother, please tell me why this happened. I can't figure it out."
After hearing what the maid said, Aunt Wu couldn't help but smile, and her smile revealed a bit of sophistication and shrewdness.
She patted the girl's hand and said, "What's so hard to figure out? Silly girl! She's the patient and I'm the doctor. How can a patient choose her own prescription? She has to take whatever I prescribe!"
Aunt Wu's smile deepened, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes piled up. She continued, "Girl, you're still young and don't understand the ins and outs of this. When it comes to seeing a doctor and getting medicine, you have to listen to the doctor. Even if Tian Guilan is so arrogant, she has to obey us when she comes to see us."
Aunt Wu tapped the girl's forehead as she spoke, her face full of pride. Xiuying once said that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, and now she has finally taken revenge.
Aunt Wu smiled and shook her head. She looked at the girl with a hint of resentment and said, "Silly child, this is so simple! She came to us to ask for treatment, and we have the initiative. How can she be picky about the prescription I prescribed for her? She just does whatever I say!"
Tian Guilan ran back home in a hurry. As soon as she entered the door, she grabbed Zhao Cunliang tightly. Because she ran too fast, she was panting and her chest was heaving violently.
She didn't bother to wipe the sweat off her face and said impatiently, "Store food, store food. I have an idea! I just came back from Aunt Wu's house. She gave me a folk remedy."
As she spoke, Tian Guilan took a deep breath, tried to calm her rapid breathing, and then told him the secret recipe given by Aunt Wu in detail.
Tian Guilan stared intently at Zhao Cunliang and said anxiously, "Cunliang, our child can be saved this time! I ran all the way back just to tell you. Aunt Wu said this recipe would work, and I believe her!"
Tian Guilan's voice became a little sharp because of excitement, and she was in a state of extreme excitement. She thought to herself how capable she was, using an old pumpkin to create a folk remedy.
After hearing what Tian Guilan said, Zhao Cunliang frowned, folded his hands over his chest, and stood there in deep thought for a while. Then he slowly said, "This folk remedy given by Aunt Wu is really weird! What the hell is going on?" Zhao Cunliang shook his head as he spoke, his face full of disbelief.
Upon hearing this, Tian Guilan's eyes widened and she raised her voice in retort, "You're just ignorant!" She put her hands on her hips and looked at Zhao Cunliang angrily. "How can it be called a folk remedy if it's not a folk remedy? This was given by Aunt Wu. Who is Aunt Wu? She's a famous witch doctor in our area. How could her remedy be wrong?"
Tian Guilan's voice became louder and louder, and her emotions became more and more agitated, as if Zhao Cunliang's questioning was a great insult to her intelligence.
Tian Guilan took a step forward, pointed at Zhao Cunliang's nose and continued, "Don't think about it here. Aunt Wu said it can be done, so it must be done! If you don't believe me, do you have any way to cure our child's illness?"
When Zhao Cunliang thought of his two eldest sons, Guangzong and Yaozu, who were lying on their sickbeds, a look of sadness suddenly appeared on his face and he sighed silently.
His eyes became dull and his brows were furrowed. His face was filled with worry as if it were etched with ink. He said slowly, "A strong man's first urine in the morning is easy to deal with. I can just put the first urine in a jar for my son."
There was a hint of helplessness and self-sacrifice in Zhao Cunliang's tone, as if he was willing to do anything for his son.
When Tian Guilan heard this, her eyebrows immediately raised and she raised her voice and shouted, "You need to be strong! Physically strong in all aspects, a man in his prime can do it! You are old and lack the physical strength to keep up, it's simply not possible! I think Butcher Li is the one who can do it."
When Zhao Cunliang heard this, he immediately became furious, veins popped on his forehead, and he roared with his eyes wide open: "What did you say? You actually let another man provide that for our son, you woman, do you have any shame!" Zhao Cunliang's chest heaved violently, and his voice was like thunder.
Zhao Cunliang took a big step forward, his finger almost poking Tian Guilan's face, and continued to roar: "I think you have lost your mind. You can come up with such a ridiculous idea! I, Zhao Cunliang, am not dead yet. It is not someone else's turn to meddle in our son's affairs!"
Zhao Cunliang stood there, his face so gloomy that it looked like water could drip out of it, thinking to himself: This is my dignity as a man! If I really go to beg Butcher Li, once this matter gets out, wouldn’t it be a blatant statement to the whole village that I, Zhao Cunliang, am not capable?
Zhao Cunliang's eyes were filled with confusion and anger. His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and the blue veins on the back of his hands bulged.
Zhao Cunliang frowned and kept muttering in his heart: "No, absolutely not! This is about a man's face. If I go to ask Butcher Li for help, how can I hold my head up in this village in the future? What will others say behind my back? They will say that I, Zhao Cunliang, am incompetent and have to ask others for help even for such a small matter." His breathing became rapid and the anger in his heart grew stronger.
Zhao Cunliang gritted his teeth, stamped his feet fiercely, and secretly made up his mind: "This is absolutely not possible! Even for my son, I can't lose my dignity. Going to Butcher Li for help is absolutely impossible!"
There was determination in Zhao Cunliang's eyes, and he was ready to fight Tian Guilan to the end.
When Tian Guilan saw Zhao Cunliang's angry look as if he wanted to eat someone, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat. At this moment... she remembered the last time she was beaten half to death by Zhao Cunliang for a similar matter, and the wounds on her body seemed to still hurt.
So, her tone softened instantly, and she said cautiously: "Boss, then it's up to you. I'll listen to you."
Tian Guilan forced a flattering smile on her face, with a hint of fear and obedience in her eyes, and her voice became soft and humble.
But then, she looked troubled again, her brows furrowed, and she added worriedly, "But, sir, it's just the whips of jackals, tigers and leopards. Where can we get them? They're not something you can see often."
