164 Superstition
“You’re a doctor, stop talking nonsense! My son is as healthy as a bull. You’re just trying to cheat me of money to get medicine!”
Zhao Kuazi did not believe him at all.
Doctor Zhou must be in cahoots with that demoness Yue Jiaojiao!
Otherwise, that little demon must have used some kind of curse, causing Wencai to have some kind of deficiency.
“If you don’t believe me, you can take your son to another doctor to take a look. That’s all I have to say.”
Doctor Zhou didn’t want to pay attention to her pestering. As soon as he finished speaking, he asked the medicine boy to send them out.
Yue Jiaojiao and Li Miao had just walked out of the doors of the Medicinal Hall with their medicinal herbs when they heard Zhao Kuazi’s foul voice, “What a quack! What a wicked and harmful person! You’re just like that vixen that harmed my son!”
Li Miao was afraid that Zhao Kuazi would come looking for trouble again when she saw them, so she left quickly with Yue Jiaojiao.
“Wencai, don’t worry. I know a temple that can help us. Tomorrow, I’ll go and beg that man to come down the mountain and help you get rid of the evil spirits in your body!”
Zhao Wencai was a little flustered.
The doctor looked pretty serious when he spoke and many of the symptoms matched his situation, but he could not admit it in front of everyone. If others found out that he was the reason for not having children, wouldn’t he become a laughingstock in the village in the future?
Anyway, his wife had always been careful and afraid of being divorced because she couldn’t get pregnant. How could he let his wife have an advantage over him?
“Mother, you’re right. I think that Zhao Zhan’s wife is very strange too.”
Zhao Wencai just happened to see Yue Jiaojiao walking away. He grabbed Zhao Kuazi’s arm in a rushed state.
“Mother, be a little patient. Yang Dashan’s house has already been built and they’re just waiting to move in. When the time comes, Zhao Zhan and his wife will definitely visit them. You can invite the priest into the village when that time comes.
“If we can get rid of this little vixen as well, maybe we’ll be able to own half of Zhao Zhan’s house! Think about it, ever since that little vixen found Zhao Zhan, we’ve been down on our luck. In my opinion, Zhao Zhan’s heart is being controlled by that vile vixen!
“Haven’t you ever wondered how they could have earned so much silver in such a short time? It must be this vixen’s petty tricks that gave our family’s fortune to Zhao Zhan!”
Zhao Wencai’s eyes were filled with schemes.
After that priest deals with Yue Jiaojiao, he might be able to lock her up somewhere for him to play with her.
“I have the smartest son ever! Why else would I dote on you the most? Just you wait, when the time comes, I’ll definitely find a priest to take care of her!”
The mother and son looked at each other and laughed sinisterly. Yue Jiaojiao, who had already walked far away, did not notice at all.
“Mother, my legs are aching, shall we go to the inn to eat?”
Zhao Kuazi had always favored Zhao Wencai, and when she heard that he was in a bad mood, she didn’t care how much money she had in her purse. She felt a warm feeling in her head, and she immediately went to the inn.
Yue Jiaojiao had no idea that someone was plotting against her. She and Li Miao strolled around the streets for a while before returning to the residence.
Two days later, Master Chen sent all the furniture to Willow Village.
“Jiaojiao,” Zhao Zhan had dressed up especially today. He was dressed in a long, stone-green robe, and he wore the long hairpin that Yue Jiaojiao had bought for him the last time. He looked very energetic.
“Dashan is moving into that house today, and he’s treating us to wine for his welcoming house party.”
“Oh, that quick?” Yue Jiaojiao’s expression was one of shock. She lowered her eyes to look at the way she was dressed, then went back into the house and changed into a flowery dress. “I haven’t prepared a present yet.”
“I bought something on the way back just now,” Zhao Zhan said, pointing to the basket on the side. “Dashan had nothing when he moved out, so I bought him some food and meat as a gift. I borrowed a carriage from Fang Tianliu. We can drive the carriage back later. This way, you won’t have a headache from the cold wind when we come back later.”
