“…”
Hearing the old man next door say this, Bai Ying and He Shiwen subconsciously slowed down their breathing, for fear of disturbing the old man's interest.
Bai Ying didn't expect that Yue Zu, the charlatan, had such a past.
Perhaps, if she had not been reported, Yue Zu would still be working as her women's director, shining in her favorite position.
But unfortunately there is no if.
However, being targeted by others is not a reason for Yue Zu to do evil at will. Bai Ying still cannot understand why Yue Zu has come to this point.
"These villains!" He Shiwen clenched her fists excitedly and muttered in a barely audible voice.
If those gossipmongers were in front of her, she would definitely beat them up!
If it weren't for them, Yue Zu wouldn't be what he is today.
"After the county received the report... Ha!"
The old man next door said this, and then continued his story after a sarcastic laugh.
The county cadres were afraid that these male members would cause trouble, so they simply agreed to their demands - dismissing Yue Zu from her position as the women's director of the brigade.
Not only did Yue Zu lose his job, but he also became a laughing stock in the team.
In the countryside, it is not a good reputation for a girl to be too capable. Men are afraid that she will not be able to control herself after entering the house, so no one dares to go to the father-in-law's house to propose marriage. Even when the matchmaker mentioned the father-in-law's name, the other party waved his hands repeatedly as if trying to avoid her.
After a few rounds of this, my grandmother-in-law became an old maid who could not get married.
Without her leadership, the women in the brigade regressed to their original treatment. They had to take care of all the housework and work in the fields, earned the least work points, and the food was given to the men first.
Witnessing all this, Yue Zu seemed to have lost her soul, wandering in the fields. Everyone said she was "crazy" and no one dared to approach her.
The "crazy" Yue Zu came to the temple on the mountain in a daze. At that time, the temple was not what it is today. It was more elegant and simple, with a sign that read "Qingfeng Temple".
Yue Zu was so hungry and cold that he fainted at the door of Qingfeng Temple.
The kind-hearted nun in Qingfeng Temple rescued Yue Zu and brought her back to the temple. The abbess, Qingfeng, also took Yue Zu's pulse and treated her illness, and restored her health.
While recuperating, Yue Zu stayed in Qingfeng Temple.
Master Qingfeng discovered that Yue Zu was very talented in medicine, so she taught him everything she had learned throughout her life. It didn't take long for Yue Zu to learn all the medical skills that Master Qingfeng taught him.
Not only medical skills, but also Yue Zu learned a lot of knowledge by reading various books during this period.
When she heard that there was a woman who became emperor in history, she couldn't control her eager heart.
Master Qingfeng also saw Yue Zu's ambition, and knowing that she could not stay on the mountain, she drove her down the mountain. Before leaving, she told her to practice medicine to help people after going down the mountain and not to waste her medical skills.
After coming down the mountain, Yue Zu initially became a barefoot doctor in the brigade with his medical skills. His reputation improved, but his poor life remained the same.
The brigade where Yue Zu worked was relatively poor. Not only did she not make much money as a barefoot doctor, but sometimes she had to pay out of her own pocket to treat the villagers.
Once, when Yue Zu was seeing patients, he ran into a male Taoist priest who was telling fortunes for an old lady, and the old lady was completely confused.
In order to treat her seriously ill little son, the aunt gave all the money in the family to the male Taoist priest, exchanged it for a yellow talisman from him, and then went back to give her son the talisman water while holding the talisman and thanking him profusely.
My father-in-law had been to school for a few years, so he naturally knew that this was feudal superstition, and that no talisman or water could cure any disease!
She couldn't stand it so she went up and grabbed the male Taoist priest and explained to the aunt that she had been cheated. However, the aunt was too superstitious. Not only did she not believe her, she also scolded her for trying to steal the business from the Taoist priest.
The mother-in-law was scolded severely, and she just stared blankly at the aunt as she left.
The next day, she heard that her aunt's son had died of a high fever. However, instead of blaming the male Taoist priest who killed her son, her aunt borrowed money and begged him to go and pray for her son's soul to be reincarnated.
This incident was like a hammer that hit Yue Zu so hard that she saw stars. She, who always followed the rules, suddenly had a bold idea.
Since others can do this kind of thing, why can't she do it?
Not only can she gain the admiration of others, but she can also make money. She even really understands medical skills and will not kill people for money!
In an instant, Yue Zu seemed to have opened up her Ren and Du meridians. She began to claim that she was the reincarnation of the Jade Emperor's daughter and a genuine goddess who came to the world to save all living beings and help the world.
At first, no one believed it. After all, they had watched Yue Zu grow up, and they had never seen her have any magical powers before...
However, later on, Yue Zu used the knowledge of astronomy, geography and hexagrams that he had learned in Qingfeng Temple, and made up a bunch of nonsense, and added holy water mixed with painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs.
I can’t say it can cure all diseases, but at least it can treat most minor ailments.
If the illness can't be cured, my mother-in-law will say it's a case of evil spirits, punishment from heaven, etc., etc. The specific reason depends on her mood...
In a short time, Yue Zu made a fortune and became famous. Countless people began to believe in her and respectfully called her "Goddess".
At this point, the old man next door sneered again, "What goddess! It was clearly me, the Buddha, who saved her, and she actually turned around and flattered herself to the Taoists! If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have saved her in the first place."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ying, who was silently listening to the story, twitched her lips.
