Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside-Chapter 986: Good Luck

The medical expenses have been recalculated, and they are much higher than the previous thirty taels: "Consultation fee of thirty taels, medicine cost eight taels, poison test ten taels, accommodation five taels, ginseng chicken soup twenty-six taels, a total of seventy-nine taels of silver."

Yuan Jiagui was furious, pointing at Tian Xiwang’s family and cursing, "You dare to consume ginseng chicken soup, that’s something for the masters, and you dare to eat it!"

Tian Xiwang said, "Didn’t Hui’er fall ill, so she needed something nutritious? We only had the chicken soup. Who knew the clinic’s chicken soup was so expensive, it’s simply..."

The words to extort hadn’t been said before Yuan Jiagui interrupted.

"Shut up! Say another word, and you will pay for this silver yourself!" Yuan Jiagui was utterly disgusted with the Tian Family, truly like mud that couldn’t stick to the wall.

Relying on the Gu Family to redeem themselves, buy a house and land, they don’t think about living a good life but instead think about scheming against the Gu Family. Do they not know that the Gu Family, who has the means to redeem them and get a new registration, also has the means to make them disappear?

Tian Xiwang’s wife laughed, "We’re worried about your silver, you know, this seventy-nine taels of silver is no small amount. It’s a fortune that mud-stompers couldn’t earn in a lifetime."

A servant who was just redeemed dares to look down on mud-stompers. At least mud-stompers are of a good register, better than someone who used to be a servant.

After Tian Xiwang’s wife finished speaking, she tentatively asked, "Old Man Yuan, I heard that the Qin family’s kid gave you a sum of money, quite a lot, right? Otherwise, how could you have silver to help us pay the medical expenses?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Yuan Jiagui sneered, "Ha, who said an old man like me would pay your medical expenses?"

"What? You’re not helping us with the silver anymore? Oh no, how can you go back on your word? Isn’t this asking for the lives of our whole family!" Tian Xiwang’s wife cried and accused Yuan Jiagui, "Don’t think you can break your promise. If you don’t give this silver, you’re asking for my whole family’s life!"

Yuan Jiagui, seeing Tian Xiwang’s wife making a scene, truly didn’t want to help them, but if he didn’t help, the Tian Family people would go and cause trouble for the Gu Family, which would tarnish Gu Jin’an’s reputation.

Forget it, he’ll bear it for now.

But...

"I’ll at most give you fifty taels, the remaining twenty-nine taels you have to come up with yourselves."

"Don’t think about crying poor to the old man. I know how much your family has made. Give the twenty-nine taels honestly, or else you’ll have to pay all seventy-nine taels."

Tian Xiwang and his wife didn’t want to pay, wanting to bleed Yuan Jiagui dry, but Tian Hui’er said, "Dad, Mom, Grandpa Yuan has helped us so much, stop arguing, give the silver, and let’s go home quickly."

Brother Qin seems to treat Old Man Yuan well, she could use Old Man Yuan to get closer to Brother Qin.

Tian Xiwang’s son couldn’t bear to part with the money and didn’t want to agree, but a fierce glance from Tian Hui’er scared him into silence.

In the end, Tian Xiwang and his wife each handed over half of the silver to Doctor Liu.

After Doctor Liu took the silver, he said to Yuan Jiagui, "See, their family has silver, they just don’t want to pay."

When Tian Xiwang’s family heard this, their faces turned red with anger, "You quack, we’ve already given you the silver, aren’t you going to shut up? Looking for a beating?"

Ha!

Doctor Liu laughed coldly, directly ordering his apprentice, "Old San, throw them out. In the future, they are not allowed to step into our Liu Family Clinic; spread the word to the city’s clinics, pharmacies, and doctors to be careful, this Tian Xiwang family likes to renege on medical bills!"

Tian Xiwang’s wife, being a troublemaker, wouldn’t let it go upon hearing this, about to curse when she was struck by the attendant’s stick.

After a few thumps, the Tian Family people were disgracefully thrown out.

Yuan Jiagui took out a silver note of fifty taels and handed it to Doctor Liu, "Sorry to trouble you."

Doctor Liu didn’t accept it, "Keep it, I only intended to take thirty taels from them, but they insisted on making trouble, forcing me to calculate in detail. Now that they’ve been taught a lesson, there’s no need for your part of the silver."

Yuan Jiagui was greatly shocked, tried to give the silver again, and when Doctor Liu still wouldn’t take it, he put away the silver note, bowed, and thanked Doctor Liu: "Thank you, Divine Doctor Liu."

Doctor Liu was inwardly scolding himself for being too kind-hearted by not taking the fifty taels of silver note, but upon hearing the words ’Divine Doctor Liu,’ his eyes immediately lit up. He grabbed Yuan Jiagui’s hand, left the room, went to the front shop, and gave him ten medicine bags, "Come, come, don’t be polite, take them, take them, after you finish them, your body will be much better than before."

Yuan Jiagui was a bit confused, why was Doctor Liu suddenly so generous?

The attendants in the front shop were also shocked, this, Doctor Liu was being generous! Has he gone crazy?

However, after Yuan Jiagui called Divine Doctor Liu, the attendants were no longer surprised, continuing their tasks.

Doctor Liu hated people saying he was inferior to Doctor Xiao the most, and loved being called a divine doctor or hearing that Doctor Xiao was inferior to him. Every time he heard it, he would give a free consultation and offer medicine. If you didn’t accept it, it meant you looked down on him, and calling him a divine doctor wasn’t sincere!

After being confused for a moment, Yuan Jiagui caught on and, smiling, accepted the medicine, "An old man like me thanks Divine Doctor Liu."

After saying many good words, he finally left.

Tian Xiwang’s family didn’t leave, waiting outside for him. Seeing him come out with so much medicine, they were even more convinced that he had received a lot of silver from Qin San Lang.

"I didn’t expect that Qin family’s cold kid is so rich," Tian Xiwang sighed, but Yuan Jiagui completely ignored them, quickly returning to his residence.

They lived in two adjacent small yards in West City.

The small yard had only three rooms, with walls made of mud bricks, incomparable to the large houses in East City, South City, and Central City. It was specifically rented to some common folk, with a monthly rent of five hundred large money. You An paid for three months’ rent for them.

"Grandpa, you’re back." Yuan Jiagui’s grandson, Brother En, saw his grandpa return and hurried out to greet him.

Yuan Jiagui smiled, patting his head, "Aye, Grandpa is back. Where’s Xiaohe? Is she feeling better?"

The Yuan Family had a pair of grandchildren, with the granddaughter being younger and having escaped from famine, her health wasn’t good, often fainting or vomiting.

"Sister is doing well, she’s even saying she wants to learn to wash our clothes," Brother En took the medicine bag from Yuan Jiagui’s hands and carried it into the yard.

The Tian Family people wanted to follow inside but were stopped by Yuan Jiagui, "Stop, our families have cut ties; don’t come over anymore."

The Tian Family people didn’t look pleasant upon hearing this, and if not for Tian Hui’er stopping them, they surely would have cursed.

When they returned to their place, Tian Xiwang inquired, "Hui’er, why did you stop us? That Old Man Yuan is ungrateful."

Tian Hui’er laughed, revealing her interest in Qin San Lang, and continued, "We have to extract information from Old Man Yuan, so we can’t be forceful. If we push him too hard, what if he doesn’t help us?"

Ending with a scholarly phrase, "Small forbearance fosters great plans; our family must endure for now."
