The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it
Chapter 37 A world of the weak and the strong
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't give it to me. Anyway, I have smashed the Jishiguan once with my hands, so I don't mind doing it again. By then, everyone in Ning County will know that the second young master of the Zhou family is a bad person who is addicted to gambling. For his own selfish desires, he actually killed an innocent customer who came to buy medicine..."
"I wonder where your Zhou family's face will be put by then!"
Her words were like sharp daggers, piercing the other person's heart.
Zhou Yao was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he was speechless.
"shut up!"
Master Zhou suddenly shouted, interrupting the argument.
He stared at Su Yu with deep eyes, as if he was weighing something: "I do have a treasure hidden here, which is carefully refined from ninety-nine and eighty-one rare herbs. It can detoxify hundreds of snakes, insects, rats and ants in the world. I would like to take it out for you to appreciate. I wonder if you will be satisfied?"
There was a sense of compromise in his words, but also some subtle temptations.
Su Yu's face was filled with incredible joy, his eyes sparkled with brilliant light, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement: "Is there really such a treasure? Bring it to me and see it!"
An unprecedented anticipation surged in her heart, as if the mystery of history was about to be unveiled.
Before this, Su Yu had accidentally learned from his master that the ancestors of their Su family mastered an extremely rare detoxification secret recipe. This secret recipe requires the collection of 81 rare and precious herbs in the world, and it must be prepared in a specific order and with precise quantities.
The process is so complicated that if there is even the slightest deviation, the antidote that can save lives can instantly turn into a deadly poison.
Only the direct descendants of the Su family can master such precious skills.
However, this precious legacy also brought about the family's demise.
As a result, the secret recipe was gradually lost and became a distant and sad legend in the family.
Now, I heard that the legendary antidote pill is right before our eyes.
Su Yu's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up, as if he could feel the resonance in his ancient blood.
When Master Zhou heard this, a complex emotion flashed across his eyes, and he immediately gave an order to his personal servant Bao Er: "Go, fetch the Hundred Poisons Clear and give it to this girl."
There was unquestionable firmness in his tone.
Bao Er was embarrassed and hesitant when he heard this. He quickly persuaded, "Master, this is not allowed. This 'Hundred Poisons Clear' is the most precious treasure in our Zhou family. There is only one. If the higher-ups investigate, how are we going to explain it?"
Bao Er's worries are not groundless. This detoxification pill has both value and risks.
But Master Zhou just waved his hand lightly and responded calmly: "It's okay. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Besides, this girl saved my life. A mere pill should be considered as a way of repaying her."
In his heart, Su Yu not only saved his life, but also made him realize the warmth and fickleness of human nature.
This gratitude is worth far more than the pill itself.
Su Yu did not delve into Mr. Zhou's thoughts and took the heavy detoxification pill.
A surge of ecstasy surged in his heart, and he turned and left with light steps.
Before leaving, she deliberately waved the treasure in her hand towards Zhou Yao, the young man whose face turned blue with reluctance.
The corner of his mouth curled up into a playful smile, and he said sarcastically: "Thanks, loser!"
This seemingly light-hearted joke actually implies a satire on Zhou Yao's dandy behavior.
Zhou Yao was so angry when he heard this that his teeth were chattering, and he almost turned his anger into substance.
He turned to his father and shouted at the top of his lungs: "How much trouble can a country girl like her cause? Why should we be submissive to her and obey her orders?"
Facing his son's ignorance and anger, Grandpa Zhou's eyes became deep, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Do you think the Zhou family can return to its former glory? In the past, I worked hard outside to win a place for the family. Later, as I grew older, your brother was able to move freely among the powerful. Who dared to underestimate the Zhou family at that time? But now, your eldest brother is disabled due to serious injuries, and the glory of the family has plummeted. And you, except for squandering the family wealth, have you ever made any contribution to the family?"
At this point, Grandpa Zhou's voice gradually rose, almost to a roar, his words full of disappointment and heartache, "The Zhou family is no longer what it used to be. Only you, a prodigal son who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, are still immersed in the illusion of the past! Although Su Yu was born in a peasant family, her vision and ability are far superior to yours! How unfortunate I am, Zhou Chengyi, to have a son as stubborn as you!"
Seeing that the situation was almost out of control, Bao Er hurried forward to ease the atmosphere. While handing over a cup of hot tea, he soothed him, "Old man, calm down, drink some tea, and calm down."
Grandpa Zhou sat back heavily in his chair, breathing heavily, and pointed at Zhou Yao with trembling fingers, almost shouting with all his strength: "You, get out of here immediately! From today on, no matter whether you rise to prominence or degenerate, there will be no more unfilial sons like you in the Zhou family!"
This sentence was like a thunderclap, shocking Zhou Yao so much that he stood there in a daze, from childhood to adulthood.
No matter how big a mess he got into, his father and brother would always clean up the mess for him.
Now this sudden determination made his world seem to collapse in an instant.
Today, I was just in the gambling house, surrounded by a group of gamblers who were addicted to gambling.
The verbal sparring aroused the fire of unwillingness to admit defeat in Zhou Yao's heart.
For a moment, his reason was shrouded in the fog of impulse, he even forgot the teachings of his old father at home, and threw himself into that meaningless gambling!
Unexpectedly, when night fell, Zhou Yao staggered back home.
What greeted him was not the usual kindness, but a scene where his father fainted on the ground due to extreme rage.
Thinking back, Zhou Yao felt a chill running up his spine.
An indescribable fear surged in my heart like a surging sea.
If his father met with an unexpected disaster because of his own indulgence, he would become the most unforgivable rebellious son in the world!
Then, Zhou Yao seemed to be poured with cold water and woke up instantly.
His knees softened and he fell to his knees in front of his father's bed. Tears welled up in his eyes as he spoke out his regrets with a broken heart: "Dad, I know I was wrong! It was me, an ignorant and rebellious son, who caused you so much worry. From now on, I will never set foot in that chaotic place again. You must take good care of yourself and wait to see how I reform myself."
After saying this, Zhou Yao slowly stood up, carrying a heavy burden of guilt and determination, and resolutely stepped out of the door of Jishiguan.
The lesson learned this time was like a brand, deeply engraved in his heart.
Reminding him that every step in the future must be solid and correct.
On the other hand, Su Yu was also gradually growing through his experience.
As a woman traveling alone in the world with a lot of money in her hands, she undoubtedly became the target of many greedy people.
