"Come back! What weapons are you bringing?" Meng chased out and called out to them. She only had these sons now, and she was counting on them to farm and take care of her in her old age. She knew that her brothers from her mother's side were ruthless, and she was afraid that they would suffer if they brought weapons to fight.
There is already a hemiplegic in the family, and she doesn't want another one to fall.
"First, what do you say?"
"Begin with courtesy, then use force."
"Yes, yes, that's right. I, Xiaoliu, am well-informed. Things are different when I go to the county town restaurant."
Meng praised the sixth brother a few times, then scolded the eldest brother, "You just want to show off. Can you beat your eldest uncle or your second uncle? Go and talk to them first, and get the food and cart back. Don't just think about causing trouble. If anything happens to them, I will only ask you for your release when I come back."
The eldest son has always been valued by his parents. Ever since his father fell ill after returning from selling grain, he felt that Meng's attitude towards him suddenly changed, which made him very uncomfortable and resentful.
Lao Liu hadn't intended to fight, so he took the opportunity to snatch the hoe and shovel from their hands. As he was returning them to the woodshed, he stepped on something and nearly tripped. He looked down and saw a black box. He picked it up and examined it, but it wouldn't open. He shook it and there didn't seem to be anything inside, so he tossed it into the chicken coop.
Lu had taken this black box from the firewood pile in the side yard and brought it to the kitchen. She threw it into the stove and tried to burn it several times but it didn't catch fire. She dug it out and threw it into the firewood shed. Now it was thrown into the chicken coop by Lao Liu.
Trapped in the black box, Lao Wu's soul and spirit had already dispersed. He wasn't Feng Qingzi. For ordinary people without spiritual roots, their souls couldn't return to their bodies within seven days, and their lives were basically over. Even if Feng Qingzi came back and gave him his body, he would be a fool and idiot without a complete soul. It would be better for him to just die!
But at this moment, as a ghost with an incomplete soul, he could still hear them talking, but his consciousness was already blurred, and he could no longer clearly figure out who was talking and what kind of relationship he had with them. Once his soul completely dissipated, he would not even have the chance to be reborn as a human being.
Even if there is, the soul is incomplete and at best one can be reborn as an animal.
"Mom is so mean. She doesn't allow us to bring weapons. If a fight breaks out, won't we be at a disadvantage?" After the eldest brother and his friends left home, they didn't have weapons in their hands. The eldest brother always felt that he lacked some momentum and couldn't help but blame Meng.
"Brother, why don't we go find Captain Ma and ask him to go with us?" Lao Liu suggested. This was what Ding Youtian asked him to do.
The third brother was the first to object: "We went to his house to make trouble, but he would never help us. It's better not to go and cause trouble."
The eldest and second oldest brothers agreed with what the third oldest brother said and did not think that Ma Fuquan would help them.
Lao Liu followed Ding Youtian's instructions and said, "He's the county's head constable. If the villagers in the towns below cause trouble and it gets out of hand, with someone killed, and the matter is finally investigated, if the county magistrate knows that we went to him and he ignored us, he will also be held responsible."
The brothers thought what Lao Liu said made sense, but they couldn't bring themselves to ask Ma Fuquan for help. Lao Liu patted his chest and said, "It's okay. I didn't go to his house to make trouble. I'll go find him."
Ma Fuquan and the Taifu were busy with their men by the river behind the mountain. He asked Carpenter Xu to make a large hand-cranked windmill, using water power as the power source to create a generator.
The three elements of a generator are the power source, the magnet and the coil. Weidong and his team brought a large number of magnets and gold coils. Now we just need to solve the power source problem.
The sixth brother asked the eldest brother and the others to wait at the village entrance while he went to find Ma Fuquan. Meanwhile, Jian Ning had finished her work at the clinic. The clinic hadn't officially opened yet; the clan leader and the elders had chosen an auspicious day. It would take a few days for the clinic to open, but it had already begun treating villagers.
Seeing that Jian Ning had finished her work, Ding Youtian called her aside and told her that he wanted to ask Ma Fuquan for help. Jian Ning took off her mask, put her hands in the pockets of her white coat, and gave him a cold look, "If you are so nosy, why don't you go to him yourself? Why are you looking for me?"
"You're from the same place as him, so he definitely wouldn't refuse your respect. I can't say for sure. We didn't have much of a relationship before, and he's been incredibly busy lately. It's probably better for me to contact him than for you to."
After that, he flattered her with a smile, "They all say you look good in this white coat, and I think so too. Do all doctors in your area dress like this?"
In fact, the villagers told him behind his back that the white coat that Jian Ning wore looked like mourning clothes, and the sheets in the clinic were also covered with white cloth. Many villagers said they could not accept it and asked him to talk to Jian Ning and try to get them changed.
"Don't flatter me. I know they don't like it, but I won't change it. If you don't like it, don't come to see me. I want to have some free time."
Her medical fees were much cheaper than those at Pu Ren Tang. Even if the villagers were uncomfortable, they would still come to her for treatment. After seeing her treatment more often, they would gradually get used to it. She didn't intend to spoil the villagers; she had to let them learn to accept and adapt, rather than having her, as a doctor, adapt to the patients.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do, but that depends on what customs you are following. Those that need to be broken must be broken.
"That's right. After all, the disease is theirs. If we don't treat them, they will suffer. We are good doctors, so we shouldn't be afraid. They should be begging us."
"What does it have to do with you? Don't be so shameless."
"If you say that, I'm going to argue with you. Every time you have surgery, have you ever asked me to help you? When have you ever refused? And every time, you force yourself to endure the discomfort. Have I ever complained?"
What he meant was that he had never refused when Jane Ning asked him for help, so if he asked Jane Ning for help, she shouldn't refuse either.
Jane Ning was actually ready to help him, but after hearing what he said, she started to get angry. "You don't have to help me in the future. Who needs your help? It's up to you whether you want to help or not."
She raised her foot to leave.
Ding Youtian hurriedly stopped her and bowed deeply. "It's my fault. I apologize to you. Lao Liu is thinking about going to the river to find Brother Ma. Please be kind and go to the river when no one is around and quietly say hello to Brother Ma. I will obey you for the rest of my life and will never dare to disobey you. Okay?"
"No!" Jian Ning glared. "You mean if I help you this time, you'll listen to me in the future, but if I don't help you, you won't listen to me anymore. Is that what you mean?"
"Then I tell you clearly, I won't help!"
Ding Youtian was stunned for a moment, then slapped his mouth in frustration. "Damn it, you really don't know how to talk. I let you talk nonsense. You clearly didn't mean it that way, but when you said it, your meaning changed. What's the point of having this mouth of yours? It's better to cut it off. Bring me the knife, give me the knife, and I'll cut it off myself. From now on, it won't make you angry again!"
He held out his hand to Jane Ning, who patted his palm and then burst out laughing. Having lived two lives, she had only recently realized that she could be a bit of a temper tantrum, and that she hadn't been like this before.
Ding Youtian breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she had agreed to help.
