"We still have several yards that we haven't reclaimed yet. The old house is empty and no one lives there. We have to repeatedly screen for rental conditions. Why bother?" The old lady sighed. "The money we have is enough for our retirement. What's the use of having a family property? It will only benefit that unfilial son."

Even if they don't treat their son who reported them, he will still get a good inheritance if they don't make any arrangements for his inheritance before they die.

Mr. Wang sighed heavily, and looked at the old lady several times. Seeing that she was not angry, he said, "I think so too, but after all, it is the legacy of our ancestors!"

"well."

The old lady's sigh made Mr. Wang feel even heavier.

"What can we do if we just guard our inheritance?"

Yes! They were already old, with one foot in the grave; what was the point of guarding this family property? Their descendants were not up to the task, not only unfilial, but also ungrateful. The Wang family was finished with this generation.

Mr. Wang was at a loss for words for a moment and became completely dejected.

The old lady reached out and took his hand, comforting him, "No one knows how many more years we have left to live. If that unfilial son comes back to cause trouble, we might be even more dead. It's better to sell what we can of our family property to someone who knows how to cherish old things while we can still move. At least we can find a owner who knows how to cherish them. After we're gone, they won't be abandoned and ruined."

"I have let you down in this life. Not only is giving birth to a son useless, but I also have no conscience. If ghosts and gods really exist, I will go and apologize to the ancestors of the Wang family after I die." Ever since her own son reported them, the old lady has never straightened her back.

"What's the point of asking for apology or not? It's not your sole responsibility that our son has grown up like this. It's my fault that I didn't teach him well, and we deserve the backlash." Mr. Wang couldn't bear to see his wife, who had shared the good and bad times with him, feel sad, so he tried to comfort her from the beginning.

The old lady chuckled through her tears, "You! You're still like this."

"Don't cry, we will sell the old house for a good price, and sell the yard we live in now. Then, I will take you out for a walk, and wait until the day we die. We can find a place and pay some money to hire someone to collect our bodies." Anyway, they were too ashamed to see their ancestors, so it didn't matter whether they were buried in the ancestral tomb or not.

After the deal was settled, Yan Rushan and Zhong Yuxiu had already arrived home. As soon as they entered the house, Gu Lingguo came to greet them.

"Comrade Yan, Comrade Zhong, you are finally back."

"What happened?" Seeing Gu Lingguo's anxious expression, Yan Rushan asked casually.

Gu Lingguo said, "Not long after you left, seven or eight people in white coats came to our house. They were a medical team sent from the provincial capital. They said they wanted to ask Comrade Zhong about the flu."

"Then let's go in and take a look first." Zhong Yuxiu spoke and walked away with Yan Rushan; Gu Lingguo followed. There were people present who didn't know the situation, so he couldn't leave.

Walking into the main hall in the front yard for receiving guests, the eight people inside turned their heads at the same time. Their eyes first swept over Yan Rushan, and then they set their sights on Zhong Yuxiu. Zhong Yuxiu had a tender face, and although she was not immature, she was too young. The eight people could not help but feel disappointed and angry.

They were disappointed because they thought it was an old lady with great medical skills; they were angry because their superiors allowed them to occupy someone.

Zhong Yuxiu ignored their gazes and said, "You are from the provincial medical team. What do you want to know?"

"I want to know everything." A young woman around 27 or 28 years old spoke.

"Can you be their representative?" Yuxiu raised her eyebrows slightly. The woman opposite spoke harshly, and she said something to her in a neutral tone.

The young woman's expression changed slightly. She looked at the others, then lowered her head and said nothing more.

Zhong Yuxiu didn't intend to delve into the details. "If you're here sincerely to learn about the flu and are prepared for a long-term battle against it, then I welcome you. If you're just going through the motions and don't want to commit to anything, then I'm sorry. The gate isn't far ahead; you can leave now."

"you......."

Not only did the young woman's expression become embarrassed, but the expressions of the other seven people also changed again and again.

"You are Comrade Zhong Yuxiu, right?"

"I am indeed Zhong Yuxiu, but I think you have recognized me just now; but you seem to look down on me and despise me?" Zhong Yuxiu asked the last question with confidence.

The young woman suppressed her temper and endured it again and again, but Yuxiu's provocation made her speak unconsciously, "We just look down on you. Look at you, you're already twenty years old. I don't know how a fair-skinned girl managed to climb up the social ladder, and yet you still need us to ask you for advice. Do you know what medicine is? Do you have your own opinions on medicine? What contributions have you made to the country, and yet the higher-ups insist on asking us for advice? You're so shameless!"

"Alright, I'll pass on your words to the higher-ups. You can leave now."

Too lazy to argue with them, Zhong Yuxiu looked at Gu Lingguo, Fang Guozhong, Captain Yu and the others, "Kick them out. Comrade Gu, call Comrade Xi and tell us about their performance. Is this the quality and character of the provincial medical team? Medical ethics is the key. Before you can be a doctor, you must first learn to be a human being."

"Understood." Gu Lingguo knew she was angry. He exchanged a glance with Captain Yu and the others. They tacitly separated Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan and walked over to the medical team. Without saying anything harsh, he spoke calmly, "You heard me. Please leave."

"Just go, who cares about coming here?"

The young woman was obviously more impulsive and left with the medicine box.

Seeing this, the others had no choice but to follow; when they left, no one said a soft word to Zhong Yuxiu, nor did they offer an apology.

After sending her out of the house and closing the door, Gu Lingguo returned to the main room; he saw her sitting on a chair and Yan Rushan was comforting him.

"Comrade Zhong."

"Have they all been sent away?"

"Yes, they're all gone." Gu Lingguo nodded and asked, "Comrade Zhong, now that they're gone, the flu in Province G seems to be getting worse. If it's not brought under control in time, I'm afraid it will get even worse."

The fear is that the flu will break out on a large scale, and by then it will not be a problem of just one province or city.

Zhong Yuxiu said, "Tell Comrade Xi that I can't direct the group of people sent from the provincial capital, and the source of the flu outbreak hasn't been found. Tell him to hand this over to the person in charge of this matter, and the rest of the matter is not urgent."

“But the flu…”

"As long as timely treatment is provided, there will be no deaths. For now, I need a laboratory. Please discuss with Captain Yu and see when you can help me build one. I also need blood from influenza patients. Please collect it and send it to me."

Gu Lingguo was surprised and uncertain, "You want to do the experiment yourself? It's the flu!"

"What are you afraid of? I have medicine to prevent it." He stood up and sighed, "If they were capable, why would I do it myself? Now I can only rely on myself. If I rely on them, I'm afraid they will pretend to obey but actually disobey."
