Chapter 102: You can be short of money, but you must not be short of morality
Fan Tong lied without blushing or beating his heart. What bad things did he do? When had he ever done anything bad?
The reason for withholding wages is that the farmhands did not do their job well.
He seduces decent women because the young wives want to gain some benefits from him.
Lending money at high interest rates is his way of helping those in need.
If they can't pay back the money, they will chop off their hands and feet, dig out their eyes, and cut off their ears. That's because they don't want to pay back the money and want to get something for free.
Farming and collecting rent is a matter of course.
As for whether the tenant farmers can have enough food, what does it have to do with him?
"Miss Chen, my Fan family is full of kind people, and I, Fan, have spent half my life thinking of others. I feed farmhands, lend money to the poor, and rent land to tenant farmers. I have done so many good deeds that if I were to trace them all, I wouldn't be able to finish talking for three days and three nights."
Mrs. Fan chimed in, "Yes, Miss Chen, what my master said is all true. If you don't believe me, you can ask around in Qingshui Town. Everyone knows that our Fan family is kind and friendly, and we often help the villagers in the surrounding villages."
Shi Taishou was stunned. The tenant farmers had long been complaining about the high rent.
The fate of the poor people who had their hands and feet chopped off, their tongues and ears cut off by loan sharks was even more miserable.
How come these evil things become good things in their mouths? No wonder his son got alopecia areata.
He was the housekeeper of the Fan Mansion. If he was really possessed by an evil spirit, he would be implicated as well.
Thinking of this, he coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "Master, please stop talking. Let's listen to what Miss Chen has to say first."
Hearing them distort the facts like this, Chen Qingqing's eyes showed contempt. They were so shameless. They did such evil things but acted like good people. They were so evil.
It is impossible for a person who has done evil to appear calm and composed on the surface. Who knows how frightened and anxious he must be inside!
Since you are not afraid, I have no choice but to continue teasing you.
Chen Qingqing laughed coldly, "Master Fan, since the Fan family has always been known for their kindness and generosity, I must have made a mistake. Just treat what I said just now as nonsense. Don't take it to heart. I have done my best to treat Master Fan's illness. As for his hair, I'm sorry, I can't do anything about it. Please seek help from others!"
Mrs. Fan hurriedly stopped her and said, "Miss Chen, you can't just leave like this. If my son never grows hair in his life, he will be too ashamed to see anyone."
Fan Tong was choked. He was really terrified. He had done so many evil things that he had to find excuses to cover them up. After all, no one dared to tell everyone about the bad things he had done.
"Miss Chen, please stay. As long as my son's hair can grow, you can ask for anything, and I will do it."
Chen Qingqing glanced at Fan Tongyi and said, "Master Fan, I am just an ordinary doctor. It is my duty to treat illnesses and save lives. What can I ask for? All you need is to pay my consultation fee. As for whether your son's hair is alopecia areata, you'd better find a fortune teller."
"No, no, no, I just believe Miss Chen. Since you can tell me, it means you understand. If there is any way to drive away the evil spirits, my Fan family will definitely do it." Fan Tong said sincerely.
"Yes, Miss Chen, please feel free to speak." Mrs. Fan agreed.
Chen Qingqing pretended to be helpless and sighed, "As the saying goes, if you don't do bad things in your daily life, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night. Everything has a cause, and every cause has an effect. Regardless of whether your Fan family has done evil things, if you want to drive away the evil spirits now, you can only do good deeds and accumulate virtue to break it."
Fan Tong breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought I had to find some bad things to solve this problem, but it turns out that just doing good things will solve it!"
Fan Hun felt relieved when he heard this. "Isn't it just doing a good deed? This is too easy. Tomorrow I will have someone throw the leftover steamed buns at home to the beggars."
The lady put on a generous look and said, "Hun'er is right. From tomorrow on, the leftovers at home will not be fed to the pigs. They will be kept for the poor beggars."
It's so stingy. He just wants to make some leftovers and be done with it. What a simple idea.
Chen Qingqing said seriously, "Doing good deeds can indeed accumulate virtue, but you are trying to get away with using leftovers. It shouldn't work. If it backfires, the Fan family may be doomed."
Fan Tong was panicking. "It's so serious. What should we do according to Miss Chen's suggestion?"
Chen Qingqing curled her lips and continued in a mysterious tone, "If he truly hasn't done anything harmful, all we need to do is prepare some special offerings, then find a ten-mile intersection, burn incense, and pray. I'm sure the gods and ghosts will find out the truth and leave the Fan residence on their own."
"What should I do if I do too many bad things?" Fan Tong trembled all over and asked hurriedly.
"Master Fan, please don't ask me. Didn't you just say that your family has always been honest and upright? As long as we burn some yellow paper, everything will be fine. Okay, it's getting late now, and I should go back and make medicine for you."
"No hurry, no hurry, Miss Chen, please stay." Fan Tong hurriedly called back Chen Qingqing, who was about to leave. "Miss Chen, just tell me, if you have done too many bad things, how can you resolve it?"
"Well, since you want to listen, there's no harm in telling me. As the saying goes, God is watching what you do. You can be short of money, but you must never be immoral. If you are short of money, you can earn it again, but if you are immoral, you are doomed.
As the saying goes, good deeds are rewarded with good, evil deeds with evil. It's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come. If you do too much bad things, you will naturally suffer retribution. At the very least, everything will go wrong and you will suffer from illness. At the worst, your family wealth will be depleted and you will end up with nothing. If you want to resolve this, you must do great good deeds to eliminate all disasters and resolve major difficulties.
After hearing this, Fan Tong's face showed a hint of doubt. This girl was only in her teens, how could she know so much? She kept asking him to do good deeds. Could it be that she couldn't stand what he did and was scare him with such alarmist words in order to make him lose money?
Thinking of this, Fan Tong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Miss Chen, you know quite a lot. I wonder who taught you all these skills?"
"Master Fan, are you suspecting that I have some ulterior motive?"
"Miss Chen is young, but not only is she skilled in medicine, she is also well versed in metaphysics. I am merely curious."
Chen Qingqing smiled suddenly, "To be honest, Master Fan, when I was a child, I was playing in the wild and met a master. Out of kindness, I sent him food every day. He taught me some medical skills and some principles. I have now mastered them thoroughly. It's a pity that I was too young to learn much."
After saying that, he made a look of regret.
Shi Taishou clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Miss Chen, you are so lucky! You must have met a hermit. Looking at the silver needles and other items you use, I know they are not from this world."
The tools she used were naturally not from this era. The silver needle and magnifying glass were modern things.
However, Shi Taishou was so cooperative with her that Chen Qingqing really wanted to give him a thumbs up. She nodded and smiled, "Butler Shi is right. These were all given to me by my master."
