Chen Qingqing sighed softly, looking troubled.
“I can trust you, but one must have a conscience. Since I have accepted your consultation fee, I cannot ignore your condition. Even if you are ungrateful, I still have to cure you.”
If you insist on not seeking treatment, and the illness recurs later, it won't be as simple as just being delirious and talking nonsense.
As she spoke, Chen Qingqing curled her lips into a smirk and continued to threaten,
"To tell you the truth, mental illness is like rabies; if it's not treated promptly, it can very likely lead to sudden death."
For the sake of your long and healthy life, I suggest you bear with it a little longer. Once the evil energy in your body is expelled, you will be completely cured.
"Yes, that's right. Wang Laoba, who had rabies, did indeed die suddenly," Liu Dashan shouted.
Chen Zhancai tried hard to recall everything that had just happened. He felt that his illness was somewhat strange and seemed to be related to Chen Qingqing, but he couldn't come up with any evidence.
If what Chen Qingqing said is true, and he really did go insane, dying right after passing the imperial examination, all the hardships he endured in the first half of his life would have been for nothing.
But what if it's that brat secretly playing tricks on him? Wouldn't he suffer this heart-wrenching pain unjustly?
Never mind, I'll go to town tomorrow and find a good doctor to take a look before making a decision. Even if I'm really sick, I don't believe any other doctor can't cure me.
Having made up his mind, Chen Zhancai said loudly to Old Lady Chen, "Mother, I'm really better now. Come over and untie me. I'm in pain all over my body."
"My son, are you really alright?"
"It's okay now, it's really all better."
"Oh dear, the more you say that, the less confident I become." Old Mrs. Chen frowned and shook her head, her face full of disbelief.
Chen Zhancai was so anxious he wanted to bite his tongue and kill himself. "My dear mother, I'm really better! Why don't you believe me?!"
Grandma Chen didn't disbelieve him; she just didn't dare to believe him.
My son finally passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, and he was about to bring honor to our family. We must not let him suffer any setbacks.
She said with a bitter face, "My silly son, what mother doesn't believe in her son? But you really did get sick just now. Didn't Qing'er say that the evil wind in your body has been expelled, but the evil energy is still there. It must be eradicated completely, otherwise if you get sick again, and something happens to you, it will be the death of your mother!"
“Yes, son, listen to your mother. Even though you’re clear-headed now, it’ll be troublesome if the evil spirits get the better of you. Just bear with it!” Old Man Chen also helped to persuade him.
Chen Zhancai cried with snot and tears streaming down his face. "Dad, please stop making things worse. I'm really fine now, and my mind is perfectly clear. How about I tell you a little secret that only the two of us know?"
Old Chen was taken aback. "A little secret? What secret do we have between us?"
"Then I'll tell you. One night ten years ago, I went out to relieve myself and saw you sneaking out of the yard. I was curious, so I followed you, but you went straight to Widow Wang's house..."
"Alright, alright, stop talking." Old Man Chen quickly stepped forward and covered Chen Zhancai's mouth. "Son, I believe you. It seems you're really cured."
Hearing this, Old Mrs. Chen frowned and pointed at Old Mr. Chen, "What's going on? Quickly let go of your son's mouth and let him finish speaking."
"No, it's nothing, just don't let your son talk about it."
Old Chen shook his head and waved his hand, but his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to that night ten years ago.
He remembered that night was dark and windy. Seeing that Old Mrs. Chen had already fallen asleep, he tiptoed, dressed, and got out of bed.
He stuffed a few cornbread buns into his pocket and left home, heading straight for Widow Wang's house.
But to everyone's surprise, as soon as he stepped out of the hospital gate after finishing, he was blocked by Chen Zhancai, who was waiting outside.
I've said countless kind words before I finally agreed not to tell anyone.
He lived in constant fear during those years; he felt restless if he didn't go, but he was also afraid that his secret would be exposed if he did.
But how could he resist? Once it happens, it will happen again...
Only when Widow Wang remarried and moved away with her child did his worries finally subside.
He devoted himself to living with Old Mrs. Chen and dared not act recklessly again.
Thinking back to this, Old Man Chen gasped. If his wife found out about this, she would skin him alive.
He quickly changed the subject, "Old woman, it looks like Zhancai's illness is completely cured."
Old Mrs. Chen glared at her and demanded sharply, "Stop interrupting me! What the hell happened? What were you doing at Widow Wang's house in the middle of the night? Tell me!"
"Don't be angry, this is nothing at all."
"Bullshit! I suspected you and Widow Wang were having an affair when I was young. I never thought you really were such a lecherous old man. Confess now, how long have you been hooking up and how many times have you done it? If you dare to lie, I'll whip you and skin you alive in front of the villagers!"
"Old woman, stop joking! What are you talking about? How could I possibly do something so shameless!"
"Fine, fine, you still dare to talk back? I'll beat you to death, you old lecher!" Old Mrs. Chen's anger flared up instantly, and she began looking for something handy to use.
Seeing this, Wu Baoan quickly stepped forward to persuade her, "Hey, old lady, what are you doing? Zhancai is still sick, why are you fighting? You're just making things worse!"
"No, I have to make him explain himself clearly, otherwise I won't be able to get rid of this simmering anger."
As she spoke, Old Mrs. Chen pointed at Old Mr. Chen.
"You damned bastard, don't play dumb with me. A real man is bold and decisive. If you dare to lie to me, you'll be in big trouble. I'll get some rat poison and poison you to death, you womanizing bastard."
"Oh, my old woman, please have mercy on me! I really didn't do anything!"
Old Man Chen was so frightened that he lost his composure. He quickly winked at Chen Zhancai, signaling to help him out of the predicament, "Son, tell me quickly, what exactly happened? As long as you can calm your mother down, I'll believe you're cured."
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you." Chen Zhancai knew in his heart that he absolutely couldn't tell the truth, otherwise no one would speak up for him. Thinking of this, he began to make up a story.
"Mom, look what you're thinking. Don't you know what kind of person my father is?"
He blushes even when he sees a female dog, let alone when he tries to seduce a young widow.
He did indeed go to Widow Wang's house that night; I thought the same thing as you at the time.
They're definitely adulterers, they've done nothing good, so I followed them to see what was going on.
But by the end, it almost made me sick to my stomach.
At this point, Chen Zhancai paused deliberately, giving Old Man Chen a wicked look...
