Wang Baoquan was about to attack, but after struggling, he found that the strength in the other party's hand was many times stronger than his own, so he immediately gave up struggling.

"Who are you and why are you meddling in our business?"

The old man smiled and stroked his slightly long white beard, then he held Wang Baoquan's wrist and gently put it down, saying slowly:

"An old man who practices medicine and consults on drugs, wanders around the world.

You and I are about the same age, so you may as well call me Lao Li. "

Who does Old Li think he is? Wen Baoquan is still nagging Wen Meijiu about the forty taels of silver and doesn't want to pay any attention to him.

"Old Li, right? We have no grudges against each other. If we are in the same business, please don't come and cause trouble. I am in trouble now."

He waved his sleeves and told Lao Li to go wherever he wanted.

Old Li's explanation was naturally not what Wen Meijiu really thought. She had her reasons for wanting forty taels of silver, and she had to make this clear to Wang Baoquan, otherwise the villagers would think she was cheating them.

"Grandpa Wang, I'm talking about the money for buying the horse, not asking you to pay for the medical treatment.

If you think five taels of silver can solve the problem, then fine, I'll stick to my original words. Exchange your two horses with mine, and I promise I won't take the five taels of silver.

We are fleeing from famine. Your Fat Tiger has made my horse sick. We will leave soon. Do I think I can wait here with five taels of silver for the other livestock keeper?"

Wen Meijiu was not polite and dumped all of Wang Baoquan's little thoughts out to him.

The plot was exposed, and Wang Baoquan's mouth twitched. He sneered, stiffened his neck, stretched out his hand and pushed Lao Li in front of Wen Meijiu and said:

“Wouldn’t this cure your horse instantly?

Forty taels is forty taels, so that others won’t accuse me of bullying the weak.

But I don't have that much money, just ten taels. If you see anything valuable in my house, feel free to take it and pay off the debt."

After saying that, Wang Baoquan turned and walked away, leaving a group of villagers looking at each other in bewilderment.

In everyone's opinion, Wang Baoquan has a very strange temper.

However, Wen Meijiu did not see it that way. All of Wang Baoquan's strangeness was to cover up his ulterior motives.

When his first plan failed, he came up with another one, intending to kill Wen Meijiu.

Let alone someone who suddenly appears on the road of fleeing famine, even your fellow villagers may not be able to help you sincerely, such as Wang Baoquan. What's more, this old Li Wenmeijiu who suddenly appeared is not known to me at all, and I don't know how good his medical skills are. Who knows if giving the forty taels to him will result in both loss of talent and talent?

Wang Baoquan is using Lao Li to escape, and although he has been "skinned", warming the wine may not necessarily have a good result.

Moreover, this "skinning" was simply cheating. Apart from the two carriages, Wang Baoquan would not be stupid enough to put valuables in the open for her to warm up the wine and take them.

Faced with Wang Baoquan's behavior, the village chief was also helpless. He shook his head and could only persuade Wen Meijiu to drink:

“Good wine, time is running out, why don’t you let this old gentleman treat the horse first, what if it works?

As for the money, let’s talk about it later. If it really doesn’t work, let’s all chip in. We can’t afford it.”

The village chief knew that even if Wang Bao's family had enough money, he had only bought two carriages and there was probably not much left.

Everyone is packing up. We have to set off soon. If we are any later, we will not be able to make it to the next town.

"Okay, Grandpa, I'll listen to you."

Wen Meijiu didn't want to waste everyone's time, so he readily agreed to the village chief's words. Then the villagers dispersed and went about their own business.

"Grandpa Li, my horse is over there. Please go and take a look first. I have something else to do here. We can discuss the consultation fee later."

To be honest, Wen Meijiu didn't really trust Old Li, but at this point he had no choice but to give it a try.

After sending Old Li away, Wen Meijiu discussed with the village chief and decided to go to Wang Baoquan to sign a document.

It doesn’t matter if Wang Baoquan doesn’t have that much silver. Just give him as much as he has. For the shortfall, just make a written receipt to avoid him denying it later.

Wang Baoquan didn't expect Wen Meijiu to come back to claim the debt. "Can she really think of writing a written agreement? No way."

Wang Baoquan didn't want to admit his mistake, but the village chief couldn't let him. "Then you can change the horse for them. You can cure it yourself anyway."

"That won't work."

Wang Baoquan was so angry that he walked back and forth on the ground with his hands behind his back, and was almost tripped by the dirt on the ground.

"This is not okay, and that is not okay. This is all your business. It is not your turn to have the final say.

Not to mention the little stuff in your house, even if you were sold you wouldn't be worth twenty taels of silver. Who are you trying to cheat?

To put it bluntly, no matter how good the wine is, it belongs to the Wen family."

The village chief was also anxious and finally had to resort to some means. These words were not the most unpleasant ones. If Wang Baoquan still couldn't figure it out, he would have something even more unpleasant waiting for him.

Wang Baoquan didn't expect the village chief to be so angry. He was so scared that he stood there, staring at him blankly.

After watching for a while, Wang Baoquan was very angry. He understood that the village chief's words were veiled in meaning and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were a threat.

Thinking about it the other way around, Wang Baoquan was not so worried. Mr. Li spoke in an exaggerated manner and asked for an exorbitant amount of medical fees. He was most likely a liar.

Since he is a liar, even if he gave Wen Meijiu a written agreement, Wen Meijiu might not be able to come to collect the debt in the end.

This is a desolate mountain area with disaster victims everywhere. Even if Wen Meijiu wants to treat Ma, it is impossible for everyone to wait for her together.

If everyone leaves first and Wen Meijiu's family is left behind, her family will definitely be in danger.

After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Baoquan had to bow his head and compromise.

"Okay, it's only you, the village chief, who said this, no one else can make it work.

Since you've spoken, I'll give her some face and not do it again."

Wang Baoquan reluctantly called his wife, took out ten taels of silver to give to Wen Meijiu, and put the rest in a document.

After getting the receipt, Wen Meijiu finally felt relieved. He said goodbye to the village chief and hurried to see how Lao Li was doing.

When Wen Meijiu went there, my mother and Lao Li were pressing the horse's belly. Soon the horse started to defecate, and it was all liquid.

"Hurry up and get some fodder."

Old Li rolled up his sleeves, turned around and ordered Wen Meijiu who was standing aside and watching.

Wen Meijiu didn't expect that the horse would slowly stand up after defecating. She responded and left like the wind.

The horse ate the hay, and although it still looked a little weak, it was much better than before.

"Give the horse some good food on the way, and it will be fine in a few days."

While cleaning himself up, Old Li spoke calmly to Wen Meijiu.

"Oh, thank you, thank you, doctor.

Doctor Li, you are such a kind person, can you please reduce the consultation fee?"

Wen Meijiu did not expect that Doctor Li was so capable. She lowered her head and wanted to give Doctor Li money, but was stopped by him.

"Don't worry about the money. The forty taels of silver I mentioned are not only for the animal's medical fee, but also for your father's leg."

"what!?"

Not only was Wen Meijiu surprised, but even his mother cried out in surprise.
