Zhang Fan: "It's extremely difficult. If it weren't for the Seven Flower Powder, there might still be a chance, but now..."

Upon hearing this, Sun Yan turned pale.

By saying this, Dr. Zhang was essentially issuing a death sentence.

However, she quickly accepted the result.

Zhao Lin overheard their conversation and chimed in, "Wife, don't be discouraged. What if Doctor Zhang comes up with a solution someday?"

Zhang Fan nodded: "That's true."

Perhaps there are still lost remedies in the world that can cure it.

Hearing Zhang Fan's answer, Sun Yan felt much better.

Ji Zhi drove to a bank in the city to deposit the gold bars before driving back to Zhangjiapo.

As they approached home, they could hear Li Chunyan arguing with an old woman from afar. Little Black was barking and jumping around nearby, baring its teeth as if it wanted to bite someone, but Li Chunyan was holding it back.

The person they were arguing with was Zhang Fan's fourth aunt, Qiu Sufen.

Qiu Sufeng was from her fourth uncle's family. She had prominent cheekbones and droopy eyelids that formed triangular eyes. Although she was not tall, no one in the village wanted to mess with her.

The reason is simple: she is a notorious shrew in Zhangjiapo. She had previously felt that someone had hoeed an extra furrow in the field, which had damaged her interests, so she sat in front of that person's door for three days and three nights, cursing them.

After Zhang Fan became mentally impaired, she not only didn't help him, but also verbally abused him, saying it was his retribution.

The reason she cursed like that was simply because when Zhang Fan helped Zhang Youde collect grain, she felt that since she and Zhang Fan were relatives, she should write more for her, but Zhang Fan did not do so.

After the grain is collected, a special person will review it again. If there is a discrepancy, Zhang Youde will have to make up the difference. This will also affect the overall reputation of Zhangjiapo, making people unwilling to buy from them again in the future.

Qiu Sufeng, however, did not think so. She felt that with so much grain already harvested, it was only a few hundred kilograms that could be skimmed off the top, so the impact would be minimal. For this reason, she held a grudge against Zhang Fan.

After her fourth uncle died, Qiu Sufeng remarried and moved to Baijia Village, and hasn't returned for a long time.

Qiu Sufeng put one hand on her hip and pointed the other at Li Chunyan's nose: "Everyone, be the judge. Human traffickers love to trick idiots into working in illegal factories, and they even sell kidneys. Zhang Fan didn't come home all night and went with a stranger, and Li Chunyan didn't even go to look for him."

"Three grown men staying at home overnight? Ugh, how shameless!"

Yan Wang's chest heaved violently with anger: "Don't spread rumors!"

Li Chunyan: "Zhang Fan went out with Boss Ji. I trust Boss Ji very much."

"Wow, they're calling each other so affectionately, calling each other 'boss, boss,' they're really playing hard to get!"

Zhang Fan rushed over and grabbed the hoe leaning against the wall: "Sister-in-law, let's see who dares to bully you!"

Seeing Zhang Fan's cold gaze, Qiu Sufeng trembled in fright and lowered her voice: "What an idiot! He wanted to hit someone, but he let them out."

The plump aunt chimed in, "Zhang Fan only beats up bad guys. We've never done anything bad. Zhang Fan is very polite."

She greeted Ji Zhi, and not only her, but everyone around her greeted Ji Zhi.

When Qiu Sufen saw that the other person came with Zhang Fan, she knew that this person was Ji Zhi.

She said loudly, "This is the person who tried to cheat the village tree."

Some villagers were standing by and judging the situation.

"Qiu Su-fen, don't say such harsh things. It was our own choice."

"That's right. Boss Ji helped us dig a well and put out the fire. If it weren't for him, I don't know if my home would still be here."

Qiu Sufeng frowned, her triangular eyes widening: "That tree could sell for over ten thousand yuan. If divided equally among each family, each family would receive over a thousand yuan. Are you all just going to give it up like this? Are you all fools?"

Qiu Sufeng's thought process left the villagers speechless, and they all started to speak up.

"You're so rude, did you eat shit this morning?"

“We did it voluntarily, unlike you, you ungrateful wretch. Without Boss Ji, your son would have starved to death long ago.”

"You're from Baijia Village now, why are you bothering with Zhangjiapo?"

“I heard that her second husband’s house burned down, he beat her up and kicked her out, saying he wanted a divorce.”

Only then did everyone look confidently at Qiu Sufen, and they saw faint bruises on her neck. Upon closer inspection, they saw several finger marks, clearly indicating that she had been choked.

Qiu Sufeng adjusted her collar, her triangular eyes looking down: "I don't care what you say, I'm going to get my money back today!"

Only then did everyone understand her purpose in picking a fight today, and they all laughed and said, "She's really obsessed with money."

Qiu Sufeng was sent back to her son Zhang Ping's home. Her son had already started his own family, and his wife had just given birth. At that time, he was sick and unable to take care of the child. Qiu Sufeng not only did not help, but also remarried because she found it troublesome.

The key point is that marrying into the family doesn't mean enjoying a life of luxury, but rather becoming their maid and taking care of their entire family.

Zhang Ping's wife developed health problems because she didn't take proper care of herself during her postpartum period; her head would ache whenever she was exposed to wind. Because of this, the couple held a grudge against Qiu Sufen.

When Qiu Sufen returned, Zhang Ping refused to let her stay, seeing the marks on her body from being beaten, and made her stay at his home for a few days to recover.

While recovering from her injuries, she heard about what had happened in the village.

She felt that Ji Zhi and the others had helped voluntarily, and that they should be paid the full amount due. She thought that if she gave the money to her husband, she could return to her home.

This time, I came to Li Chunyan's house to ask Ji Zhi for money, but I didn't expect Li Chunyan to say that Ji Zhi and Zhang Fan were not at home.

She suspected that Li Chunyan wanted to keep the money for herself, so she tried to scare Li Chunyan into revealing Ji Zhi's whereabouts.

To her surprise, everyone sided with Ji Zhi.

"Qiu Sufeng, hurry up and leave once your injury has healed." A man ran, panting heavily.
