Wang Xinyao immediately stepped forward, pushed Mrs. Xie away, and began to check Xie Shiya's condition. Then she whispered to Xie Baihong, "Dad, don't worry. She's just unconscious. She's not in danger of life! I'll stop the bleeding from her wound." Then she took out a silver needle and began treatment.

Seeing someone trying to rescue him, everyone felt relieved, knowing that the man was not dead.

Seeing this situation, Wu Yuanwai was also frightened, so he looked at Mrs. Xie and said, "This girl of yours has a very strong temper. We in the Wu family can't afford to support her. Give me three hundred taels as an apology, and the matter will be settled!"

"Three hundred taels? That's all her fortune. Absolutely not!" Mrs. Xie thought to herself. Furthermore, Mr. Wu offered two hundred taels, which meant the matter could still be negotiated. So she said, "I can only pay fifty taels. No more!"

"Mrs. Xie, you are truly the best in the world!" Wu Yuanwai laughed out loud after hearing what Mrs. Xie said. "Think of me, Chen Qingfeng. I'm a well-known figure in Ping'an Town. Although I'm not a formal official, I still have a job with the government. Do you think my face is only worth 50 taels?"

Wu Yuanwai looked at Mrs. Xie with a mocking look: "You bullied me first, and then you acted arrogantly. If you had known when to advance and when to retreat, I would have made things difficult for your family. I tell you, if you don't pay me 300 taels today, I will make your family live in eternal turmoil!"

Xie Baihong knew that his family was in the wrong, and he also knew what kind of character his mother-in-law was. He had been strong all his life, but now he had to face such a terrible thing in his old age. He didn't want his daughter to die, but without the money, he was powerless! So, he looked at Wang Xinyao, his eyes full of pleading!

At this time, Wang Xinyao softened her heart. In fact, she softened her heart from the moment Xie Shiya hit her head against the wall.

"Dad, don't worry, leave it to me!" Wang Xinyao comforted him, then turned to look at Mrs. Xie: "Liu Jinhua, you can treat your own daughter like this, you really are a born bad seed!"

After hearing what Wang Xinyao said, Mrs. Xie was about to explode when Wang Xinyao added, "Your daughter is injured and unconscious now, but whether she can wake up depends on whether I am willing to save her!"

Mrs. Xie was shocked. She thought everything was fine. She didn't expect that Wang Xinyao would need to save her to wake her up. After all, she was the daughter she had loved for many years, and she didn't want to see her die. So she suppressed her anger, lowered her posture and said, "Xinyao, can you help me save her?"

"It's not impossible for me to save her, or even help you deal with Mr. Wu's problem. But I really hate you, an old woman. You living next door to me every day is really annoying!" Wang Xinyao paused and said, "Your house and land are worth less than 20 taels. I'll give you five days. After five days, I want you to move out of here and out of my sight. Moreover, for my father's sake, as long as you move out, the house and land will belong to me, and I can even give you 20 taels as compensation!"

Mrs. Xie was reluctant to move; after all, this was the house she had lived in for most of her life. But after pondering it over and weighing the pros and cons, she had to admit that this was indeed the most cost-effective option at the moment. After much deliberation, she finally agreed.

"Uncle Village Chief, I'm sorry to trouble you with the clerical matters." Wang Xinyao turned her gaze to Xie Zhengyi who was standing at the gate of the yard.

Xie Zhengyi immediately walked into the yard and said, "Okay, niece Xinyao, don't worry, I have paper and pen with me. I will write the document now."

Since helping Wang Xinyao's family manage the construction of the house, Xie Zhengyi has developed the habit of carrying paper and pen with him so that he can handle various matters at any time.

Then, Wang Xinyao turned to face Mr. Wu, bowed gracefully, and said softly, "Hello, Mr. Wu."

Wu Yuanwai, on the other hand, looked at Wang Xinyao carefully with a mixture of curiosity and admiration. He truly admired this girl, especially when Wang Xinyao openly told Mrs. Xie, "I hate her so much." Wu Yuanwai felt that this girl was straightforward and cute, very much to his taste. Moreover, Wang Xinyao was proficient in medicine at such a young age, which made Wu Yuanwai look at her with even higher regard. Thinking of this, Wu Yuanwai smiled kindly and said, "Miss Wang, you are too polite."

"Mr. Wu, I know full well that the fault in this whole thing lies with Mrs. Xie. A person like you naturally wouldn't care about such trivial matters. To you, money is just a number." Wang Xinyao studied Mr. Wu intently and said slowly, "I know that the reason you've been searching for daughters-in-law time and again is because the issue of offspring has been bothering you. After all, there are three kinds of unfilial behavior, and having no descendants is the worst. If I can help you properly resolve this issue of offspring, could you please forgive the three hundred taels of silver?"

She is seriously short of money now, and she is reluctant to spend so much money at once. So she can only find a way from other places.

"Tell me about it?" Mr. Wu said with interest!

"I know medicine, and you have seen it just now. I believe there should be a doctor in Mr. Wu's house. However, no one must have told you that you were poisoned, right?" Wang Xinyao said with certainty.

"What? Poisoned!" Wu Yuanwai jumped up from his chair in shock, his face full of disbelief, and shouted, "How is this possible? I don't feel unwell anywhere!"

"You've indeed been poisoned!" Wang Xinyao confirmed. "Your lips are a bit purple, which is obviously not a normal color. This poison won't kill you, but it will damage your kidney function. Long-term consumption will lead to asthenospermia, making it difficult to have children!"

"What?" Mr. Wu lost his composure. He hadn't expected that the other person, at such a young age, could tell at a glance that he had asthenospermia. He had seen many famous doctors, but they only knew the name of the disease, and no one could find out the cause! Therefore, all those years of drinking sperm-regulating medicines were in vain. No wonder none of his eight concubines were infertile. His son was fine when he was born, but he didn't know when he became mentally retarded. If there wasn't something wrong with him, he wouldn't have pinned all his hopes of continuing the family line on his foolish son!

Wu Yuanwai bowed solemnly to Wang Xinyao and said earnestly, "Miss Wang, I beg for your help. If you are willing to lend a hand, I will not only forgive Mrs. Xie's three hundred taels, but I will also give you a thousand taels as a consultation fee!"

"One thousand taels?" The onlookers were all shocked by the sum, their eyes flickering between the two. A thousand taels was something they could hardly earn in several lifetimes. In the past, seeing Wang Xinyao's success, they had envied her and even felt a bit jealous. But now, that jealousy had vanished. Wang Xinyao's achievements were beyond their reach, perhaps even in several lifetimes. With their jealousy gone, they secretly thought that if they devoted themselves to following Wang Xinyao's work, their lives would be stable.

Wang Xinyao was completely unaware of the villagers' thoughts. She probably couldn't have imagined that after this incident, everyone in the village would be on the same page with her, except, of course, Mrs. Xie and Xie Erzhu.

"Mr. Wu, it's not that I'm unwilling to treat you, but you need to first find out who framed you." Wang Xinyao pondered for a moment and then said, "I can check the pulses of your family members first, but you must not tell anyone about your poisoning!"

"Okay, thank you Miss Wang. I'll go back and make arrangements right away. I'll wait for your good news tomorrow!" Wu Yuanwai bowed and then turned to the servants he brought with him and said, "What you saw and heard today, you must not tell anyone when you return. I mean everyone! If anyone spreads this matter, no matter who spreads it, I will sell you all and your families!"

The servants all looked at each other, and then responded in unison: "Yes, Master!"

Wu then led his servants away. With just one sentence, the servants began to monitor each other, as this matter concerned the fate of their entire family. This shows that Wu was a ruthless man with his own methods, but fortunately, he still had principles!

The documents for the transfer of the house and land deeds had also been signed. When Mrs. Xie tremblingly pressed her fingerprints, Wang Xinyao still paid her twenty taels of silver!

At this moment, Xie Shiya slowly woke up. Wang Xinyao carefully examined her again, then said casually, "It's fine now. Don't let the wound get wet for the next few days!"

Xie Shiya had thought herself doomed, but she had miraculously survived and no longer had to marry that fool. The person who saved her from the fire and water was none other than Wang Xinyao, the very person she had always despised. She and Wang Xinyao were of similar age, and she had previously disliked her simply because she had taken away her eldest brother's affection. But now, she was truly grateful to Wang Xinyao. As much as she had disliked her in the past, she now loved her as much as she did. "Thank you so much, sister-in-law, for saving my life!"

He actually said thank you. This is really like the sun rising from the west!

The crowd had all dispersed, and Wang Xinyao said goodbye to Xie Baihong, "Dad, if you like this place, you can stay and don't have to move out!"

"Thank you Xinyao, I will consider it!" Xie Baihong said gratefully!

As Wang Xinyao turned to head home, the machine-like voice sounded again: "Congratulations, host! You have rescued a former enemy with kindness, turning hostility into friendship and earning her gratitude. You have earned 5 Kindness Points and are rewarded with a recipe for the Soul Gathering Pill!"

The recipe for the Soul Gathering Pill? It was something Wang Xinyao had longed for!
