Chapter 946 Life is full of surprises
The Medical Girls' Courtyard was built at the foot of a green hill, not far away from a village consisting of dozens of households.
Liu Laosan and a group of people rushed towards the courtyard in a menacing manner, which alarmed many villagers. Some of them came to watch the fun, while others had received favors from Yang Qingqing and were worried, so they gradually gathered around.
The younger brother of Liu Laosan was born weak. He was in poor health since he was born and was sick all the year round. All the neighbors knew about this.
But they only knew that some time ago, the younger brother of the Liu family suddenly became critically ill, so they invited Yang Qingqing, a nearby village doctor, to see him.
The specific circumstances that followed are only speculation among gossips.
Now, after hearing what Yang Qingqing said, I realized that the Liu family's young brother had an incurable disease, and that using medication to keep him alive had to be approved by the Liu family.
However, knowing that someone is critically ill is one thing, and actually dying is another.
After hearing that the younger brother of the Liu family had taken medicine for more than half a month and suddenly died, they still had some doubts about Yang Qingqing's medical skills and use of medicine. This is the innate suspicion of the human race, which is unavoidable.
However, most of the people in the village have received favors from Yang Qingqing. They usually cure minor illnesses and pains, and the reward is just a few copper coins, which is much more economical than going out to see a doctor.
Some elderly people in the village also knew that Yang Qingqing was not a real village doctor. She did not belong to this village. She just lived at the foot of a nearby mountain and was willing to treat the villagers.
The few copper coins I collected each time I practiced medicine were just a token of my gratitude, a small subsidy for the cost of medicine.
Seeing that Liu Laosan and his gang were smashing and looting with red eyes and did not listen to Yang Qingqing at all, the older generation in the village frowned, worried that things would get out of hand, and quickly stood up.
"Liu family third brother, what are you doing? Didn't you agree to this when you were seeing the doctor?"
"The fifth child is a good kid. Everyone in the surrounding area knows that he is smart and well-read. He has the best chance of becoming an official. But he is born weak. This is his fate..."
The village chief walked into the courtyard with a cane. He first glanced at Tianyun, the stranger, and then scolded Liu Laosan with a cold face.
Liu Laosan, who was holding the stick, had red eyes, as if he didn't recognize anyone. Even when the village chief came out to dissuade him, he simply ignored him.
"You must pay with your life. Your medicine killed my brother. Give me your life!"
Although the younger brother was born weak, he was the smartest. Liu Laosan was a rough man who could only crawl in the fields all his life and beg for food from heaven.
He knew that he was just a peasant and had no other way out.
But the fifth brother is different. He is the hope of the whole family and the key to changing the fate of the family.
Although the fifth child of the Liu family was weak, he was born smart and had a good chance of passing the imperial examinations. The whole family devoted all their efforts to supporting him in his studies and learning etiquette. They held him in their hands for fear of dropping him, and held him in their mouths for fear of melting him. They treated him like a treasure and were reluctant to scold him. They never let him do any heavy work.
But in the past few months, the fifth brother's health was getting worse and worse, and he even couldn't get up from the bed. So they hurriedly invited Yang Qingqing to see the doctor.
The conclusion that he was critically ill and dying was like a bolt from the blue, and it chilled the hearts of the more than ten people in the Liu family.
They were shocked and desperate, feeling great pain in their hearts. They also secretly blamed Yang Qingqing. How could she make such a decision? How could she be about to die?
At that time, the Liu family had no choice but to ask Yang Qingqing to use her medical skills and prescribe medicine to keep Liu Laowu alive.
In fact, Yang Qingqing's medical skills are very good. She has inherited the master's skills completely and brought Liu Laowu back from the brink of death.
Seeing Liu Laowu gradually regain his vitality and even be able to get out of bed and walk, the Liu family was ecstatic.
They were just farmers working in the fields, with little knowledge, so how could they know that it was Liu Laowu's last breath? It was only Yang Qingqing's medicine that allowed him to survive for more than half a month.
Seeing that Liu Laowu was getting better, they thought that the disease had been cured and that he would be fully recovered as long as he took the medicine on time. They forgot what Yang Qingqing had reminded them of, were reluctant to spend the family's money, and held on to a fluke mentality, so they did not bother to find a better doctor.
This is a common problem among many elderly people in rural areas. They are reluctant to spend money and are optimistic about the outcome, which may lead to disaster in the end.
But...who can blame them? Treating illnesses is for the family, saving money is also for the family. Do you expect a farmer who has not read much to have a thorough understanding of the human body?
They also lack the determination to seek complete treatment because poverty makes them hesitate and afraid to bear the consequences.
Moreover, many diseases in this world are bottomless pits, and those seemingly foolish lucks are nothing but helpless attempts to avoid reality.
As a result, after taking the medicine one time, Liu Laowu had just swallowed a few mouthfuls of the medicine when suddenly a large amount of blood flowed out of his mouth and he died soon after.
After several ups and downs, the Liu family fell into extreme sorrow.
Liu Laosan had the most explosive temper and could not think too much under such extreme emotions. Looking at the soup bowl stained with the blood of his fifth brother, he felt that there must be something wrong with the medicine.
Word spread in the village that someone had died after taking Yang Qingqing's medicine, and they hurriedly called a group of people over to hold them accountable.
The death of the fifth brother of the Liu family almost took away the backbone of the Liu family. Most of the Liu family members could still hold on, but the third brother of the Liu family almost went crazy because he was furious because of the death of his fifth brother.
After finding out the whole story, the villagers who had come with Liu Laosan to cause trouble gradually put down their tools, sighed a few times and stepped aside.
They had no grudge against Yang Qingqing, they just supported Liu Laosan, and rushed over when they heard that someone had died from taking the medicine.
After knowing the whole story, they naturally no longer wanted to get involved in this confusing matter.
After all, someone died. Even if Yang Qingqing did nothing wrong and was right, people will always be suspicious.
The group of people gradually retreated, but Liu Laosan obviously couldn't listen to anything anymore. With red eyes, he smashed the herbs planted by the wall and smashed them all to pieces.
Seeing that Liu Laosan not only did not listen to the village chief's dissuasion, but instead became even more excited in smashing and destroying things, many villagers also talked about it, but seeing that he looked like a madman, waving a stick around, they did not dare to stop him for a while.
In front of Yang Qingqing, Tianyun frowned. Seeing Liu Laosan smashing the herbs that they usually took good care of, and seeing the courtyard become a ruin, he clenched his fists with a look of anger on his face.
"That's enough! You are totally unreasonable. Are you crazy?!"
Tianyun could no longer tolerate this. It was obvious that this family was being optimistic and not taking the patient's condition seriously. Why were they taking their anger out on the innocent Yang Qingqing? If the fuss continued like this, who would dare to seek medical treatment from Yang Qingqing in the future?
He didn't know why, but when he looked at Liu Laosan who was making trouble, some vague memories flashed through his mind. As if there was some kind of instinct in his body, he took a step forward, rushed forward like a dragon and snake, and punched out.
"do not want!"
Yang Qingqing failed to hold him back and immediately yelled in panic.
This silly uncle, with so many villagers present, the other party was in the wrong but still making trouble, under the watchful eyes of everyone. As long as Liu Laosan calms down, the matter will eventually be settled.
She was sad that the herbs were destroyed, but she could always plant them again. Compared to human lives, it was nothing.
But if the two sides start fighting and someone gets injured, the matter will be difficult to resolve!
