I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 214 Relatives Come to Seek Refuge 9

No one else could understand what he said, but the two old men understood the deeper meaning behind it.

Hearing him say this, the two old men's faces suddenly changed. They didn't expect that Ning Cuizhi would actually tell Bai Chong all about her family's ugly deeds, especially this kind of ugly deeds that could easily make her man feel resentful towards her.

The two felt guilty and ashamed. Logically, their son-in-law, as a man who had met Ning Cuizhi before, should have stayed away from her. However, they pretended to be ignorant and tried to get Ning Cuizhi's family to take in their daughter's family...

They stopped their attack and Bai Chong said nothing more.

He bowed to the group of people and said, "Our temple is small, you should find another place to stay!"

Bai Jingzhou's aunt was so angry that she was about to say something unpleasant, but her eldest sister-in-law quickly pulled her and said, "Doctor Bai, could you please help us check the injured? I, I have no money now. Can this hairpin pay for the consultation and medicine?"

She took out a silver hairpin that she had hidden away in a hurry and handed it to Bai Chong through the patrol team who were eyeing them covetously.

Bai Chong is in this line of work. He doesn't care who he treats, but he really doesn't trust the character of this family.

"You should seek help from someone else. Although I am a doctor and will not refuse to treat someone just because I don't like him, I dare not treat your family. I am afraid that if something happens to the patient, your family will turn against me and say that I made the treatment worse or something."

"No, no, we definitely won't do that." The woman was almost crying, "Please help us, we really can't find another doctor."

Bai Chong thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll do my best. No matter what the result is, you can't cause trouble to me."

The woman nodded her head vigorously, "I swear, if anyone from our two families troubles you, I will make sure he/she dies a miserable death and be struck by lightning."

Bai Chong bowed in front of everyone and said, "Please everyone bear witness for me."

There were many villagers from Baijia Village around, and they all nodded and said that they would definitely testify for Bai Chong.

Bai Chong then took the medicine box and went to treat the injured from the two families. He meticulously felt the pulse, examined the wounds, applied medicine, and bandaged them. He then gave them two bottles of powder for external injuries and asked them to change the medicine regularly.

He did not want the woman's hairpin either. "There are only some common herbs in it, not worth so much silver. I don't want the hairpin anymore. Just consider the powder as a gift from me."

The woman was filled with gratitude, but at the same time she couldn't help sighing that her brother was such a fool.

She cried and thanked him repeatedly, and her husband and children also followed suit to thank Bai Chong.

Seeing that her sister-in-law and nephews and nieces were talking like clams, the woman quickly pushed the two children and asked them to thank Bai Chong on behalf of their father.

Her nephew was obedient, but her niece held a grudge against Bai Jingzhou's family for refusing to marry her. She snorted coldly, turned her head, and refused to say thank you.

Fortunately, Bai Chong didn't mind this. He treated these people's injuries because he saw that the woman was reasonable. He waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me. It's still early now. You should hurry on your way."

When the woman saw Bai Chong, she blushed and asked, "Well, Doctor Bai, can you sell us some food? To be honest, we can't bring any food out."

She handed over the hairpin and said, "After deducting the consultation fee and the medicine money, can you exchange the remaining money for some food for us?"

Her husband and two sons also came to beg with bruised and swollen faces. Bai Chong softened his heart, sighed, and turned to look at his wife.

Ning Cuizhi glared at her husband, then walked out of the crowd without saying a word and went home.

Bai Jingzhou took a look and hurriedly called Bai Jingshan, "Let's go help my mother."

When the three came back, Bai Jingzhou had several bottles of commonly used medicine pills and powders in his arms and a large bag of sorghum flour on his back. Bai Jingzhou's mother carried a basket of mixed flour steamed buns, a basket of white flour steamed buns and a small jar of pickles. Bai Jingshan carried a clay pot of hot water and a basket of old cooking utensils and tableware on his back.

Among the old cooking utensils and tableware that Ning Cuizhi took, only a kitchen knife was valuable. The rest were pottery and wooden items and were not worth much. But even so, the woman and her family were still deeply moved.

They didn't expect that such a thin silver hairpin could be exchanged for so many things. The whole family took the things and thanked Bai Chong and Ning Cuizhi repeatedly.

Bai Jingzhou's aunt was so angry that she wanted to say something sarcastic, but because the situation was more powerful than she was, she swallowed her dissatisfaction with her eldest sister's family and her own sister's family.

She was hungry and thirsty, and her husband also needed to use the medicine powder. She was afraid that if she angered Bai Jingzhou's family, they would take all these things back.

Moreover, she had to follow her eldest sister-in-law and her family to seek refuge with relatives on her husband's side. If her parents-in-law's brothers were unwilling to take them in, she might have to go to the home of her eldest sister-in-law's husband's relatives. Thinking of this, how could she dare to anger her eldest sister-in-law and her family?

She couldn't afford to offend either family, so she could only hold her anger in by herself.

Bai Chong and Ning Cuizhi didn't care what she thought. After the transaction was completed, Bai Chong directly gave the hairpin to his wife and said, "Keep it. When the world is peaceful, you can send the item to the county town to be melted down."

He would not keep other women's things on himself, nor would he let his wife wear things that had been worn by others, so the best thing to do was to treat the hairpin as silver. Whenever he had the chance to go to the county town, he would find a silver shop to melt the money, and then add some money to buy a more beautiful new hairpin for his wife.

The family knew they were not welcome, so they packed up their belongings, called their children, carried the injured, and planned to go to other relatives with their entire family.

Of course Bai Jingzhou's aunt wanted to go with them, but before leaving, Bai Jingzhou's aunt, who had already got the things, did not forget to sow discord.

She scolded Ning Cuizhi for being unfaithful and shameless, and for still thinking about her brother-in-law even though she was married. She also said that her man had good vision, unlike Bai Chong, who was blind and treated a fickle woman like Ning Cuizhi as a treasure.

Bai Chong was so angry that he was about to call for someone to beat up the woman to vent his anger for his wife, but Ning Cuizhi grabbed him and retorted with a sneer.

"He was dating my elder sister, but ended up hooking up with my younger sister. How can such a man be good? Only someone as blind as you would treat such a man as a treasure!"

"Don't worry, I not only don't like a sister like you, I also don't like a man like him!"

"My own man is a good man, and I won't think about that corrupt bastard from another man's family. But this doesn't mean that I have to greet you with a smile and endure the disgust to become relatives with you two dogs and bitches!"

"If you know what's good for you, take your man and children and get out of here, or don't blame me for breaking your family's legs!"
