When the Sun family mother and son entered the village, they were spotted by children playing at the village entrance. Two of them had taken the candy given to them by Uncle Xia and Uncle Xia and were staring intently at the village entrance. As soon as they saw the two of them coming, they immediately ran to inform them.
"Hey! They really came back? Come on, let's go see the show. I don't believe Xia Qingzhai can really cure diseases. The Sun family mother and son are definitely back to settle scores with him. I want to see how he will have the face to talk to people after this!"
Uncle Xia sneered, rolled up his sleeves and went out the door. He sent his son to call Uncle Xia next door, and then took the lead and ran quickly to the Sun family.
Meanwhile, most of the villagers also heard the news. Winter is boring enough, and it's rare to have something fun to do, so they immediately grabbed a bag of peanuts, cracked them open, and went to watch the show with great interest.
Sure enough, as soon as they arrived at the Sun family's door, they saw the village chief standing there with his eyes wide open, looking extremely surprised, clearly having heard something unexpected.
Uncle Xia knew that the village chief was biased towards Xia Qingzhai. He thought to himself that the chief must have heard that the disease hadn't been cured and that he must be ashamed now, considering that he had previously protected Xia Qingzhai.
He was overjoyed, grinning as he jogged over, shouting from afar:
“Sun Tiehu! I told you there was no cure for your illness, but you didn’t believe me. Go see Xia Qingzhai, and you deserve to spend money and suffer! How about that? You’ve been in the city for three days, running around every night. The county town isn’t as humane as our village. If the yamen runners catch you, they’ll beat you half to death!”
The villagers arrived a step too late, only to hear Uncle Xia's smug and arrogant whispers. Many gasped in surprise, their expressions hesitant: "N-it doesn't work? I even asked him to take a look before..."
"Is he a fraud?"
"I knew it! What skills could a mere greenhorn like him possibly have?"
"That's all, let's go home!"
Uncle Xia also ran to the Sun family's door at this time, waiting for Sun Tiehu to show a look of remorse and shame so that he could say a few words to ridicule him.
Unexpectedly, Sun Tiehu glared at him with his big, round eyes, grabbed his collar, and started cursing fiercely.
"What beating! I took the three doses of medicine Qingzhai prescribed for me, and I haven't been wandering around at night since. Even my heart palpitations are gone! My bitter taste in my mouth and red tongue are all gone! Qingzhai is a good doctor. He cured me of an illness that even doctors couldn't cure. If you keep spouting nonsense here, I'll beat you to death!"
The villagers' eyes widened: "It really cured him?"
Uncle Xia was caught off guard and was pulled up by the collar. His face turned red with anger. Uncle Xia rushed over and hurriedly rescued his brother.
“Speak properly, why resort to violence? If Xia Qingzhai is really that powerful, why didn’t he cure his sister when she was sick?”
Before Sun Tianhu could even reply, the villagers exclaimed, "You say it's his fault for not curing her? Isn't it all your fault?"
"The two siblings caught a cold and have been unconscious for several days. Madam Xia begged you to help her go to the city to fetch a doctor, but you two brothers kept delaying and refusing. You were unwilling to spend the money and too lazy to do anything, so you just wouldn't go!"
"It caused the two siblings to be in a coma for seven or eight days!"
“Qingzhai fell ill earlier. He fell into a coma before Chaojin got sick—but later Chaojin’s illness worsened, and she died before Qingzhai woke up. How can you expect Qingzhai to treat his sister?”
"If you two uncles and elders had gotten her a doctor sooner, she wouldn't have died! How dare you say that now?!"
