"Wang Family Wife, come, drink this immortal's divine medicine. This immortal guarantees that after drinking one cup of medicine, the illness will be cured."
After hearing Lin Zaozao's words, the Wang Family Wife standing outside the fence immediately walked to Lin Zaozao's side, stretched out her trembling hand, ready to accept the divine medicine that Lin Zaozao handed over - a cup of clear water.
"Drink it! After you drink it, see if my god medicine works or not?"
Hehehe! Only after the Wang Family Wife drank the medicine could she sell the medicine given to her by the system at a good price.
Under Lin Zaozao and everyone else's expectant eyes, the Wang Family Wife took the cup from Lin Zaozao's hand, took a long breath, and then drank up all the water in the cup without leaving a drop.
"How is it? Does this immortal's medicine work?"
After hearing Lin Zaozao's words, the Wang Family Wife reached out and touched her body. The illness that had been tormenting her these days suddenly disappeared at this moment.
In order to confirm that what she was thinking in her head was not an illusion, the Wang Family Wife tore off the black cloth that had been wrapped around her head in front of everyone.
After she tore off the black cloth from her head, she turned around and looked at her husband.
"Ah Da, is my face better? Are there still rotten wounds on my face?"
"Wife, no, really no. Your face is all better."
As he spoke, her husband took a small copper mirror out of his arms and handed it to his wife.
Seeing the unblemished face in the copper mirror, the Wang Family Wife couldn't help but laugh.
But as she laughed, she couldn't help crying.
Her face was really better.
Then her life was also saved.
Seeing the Wang Family Wife who was crying with the veil on, Lin Zaozao bluntly said.
"Wang Family Wife, what about the one hundred taels of consultation fee you promised this immortal! You should know that every time this immortal saves someone, it takes a toll on this immortal's fortune."
"Give give give, Doctor Lin, I'll give it to you now. Ah Da, one hundred taels of gold! Give it to Doctor Lin quickly!"
After speaking, the Wang Family Wife took the gold handed over by her husband and respectfully handed it to Lin Zaozao.
"Xiao Taohua, take the money."
"Okay, wife."
Seeing Xiao Taohua taking the money, Lin Zaozao gave Ji Fantian, Xiao Taohua and Dashan each a cup of antidote to drink just in case.
Drink the antidote in advance, just in case.
After Dashan drank it, Lin Zaozao made six more cups of antidote and handed them to Dashan.
“Dashan, take them to Gu Shan. Remember, let them stay in the yard and don't go anywhere. If they're bored, have them tidy up the yard nicely for me. I haven't even been inside to visit the new yard I bought yet!"
"Okay, young master."
Seeing that Dashan had left, Lin Zaozao immediately resumed her serious look, starting her pretentious behavior!
"Come come come, everyone, whoever has more money, come and buy medicine from this immortal. Those with no money, go to the back of the line."
"But Doctor Lin, we don't have one hundred taels of gold!"
"No problem. From now on, this immortal will give you all a discount. Today, ten taels of gold for one life-saving medicine. Those with money drink first, those without money stand aside."
As soon as Lin Zaozao’s voice fell, those wearing gorgeous clothes in the crowd immediately squeezed to the front of Lin Zaozao and started buying life-saving water.
So in the following time, Lin Zaozao started her happy money-making life.
Damn, the feeling of sitting down collecting money is so f**king awesome. If she sells water like this for a few days, she, Lin Zaozao, will sooner or later become the richest person in Canglan Country.
Seeing the pile of gold around Xiao Taohua growing into a hill, Lin Zaozao's eyes were almost laughing.
When Lin Zaozao, Xiao Taohua and Ji Fantian were almost too busy, Dashan came back from the yard next door.
"Young master, this is the dessert Ruo Qiu made for you."
"Oh my! My darling Ruo Qiu is so good! He lives next door and still worries if his wife has eaten."
But when Lin Zaozao happily put the dessert Dashan handed her into her mouth, the smile on her face stiffened immediately.
Damn, so sour she could die.
Lin Zaozao looked at Dashan with a twisted face and squinted eyes, asking doubtfully, "Dashan, did Ruo Qiu tell you what he used to make desserts?!"
"It's the green fruit Uncle Zhang gave you yesterday. Young master, Uncle Zhang's green fruit is a good thing, eating it is good for the body."
"Is it?"
Facing Dashan's honest eyes, Lin Zaozao felt her teeth were about to fall out from the sourness.
So upholding the principle of one person suffering misfortune leading to calamity for the whole family, she also stuffed a piece of dessert into the mouths of Xiao Taohua and Ji Fantian.
Unfortunately, Lin Zaozao did not see their twisted expressions of sourness.
“Dashan, come, you eat one too!"
Seeing the dessert Lin Zaozao handed over, Dashan wanted to refuse at first. But seeing Lin Zaozao's pretended ferocious expression, he could only reach out and take it, threw it into his mouth and swallowed it into his stomach in three gulps.
He didn't know what Uncle Zhang was thinking. Couldn't he make the green fruit a little sweeter when cultivating it? Why did it have to be cultivated so sour?
Now as soon as he ate it, he felt like his teeth were about to fall out.
Seeing them eat it, Lin Zaozao beckoned and signaled that those with money could continue to come and buy medicine.
So Lin Zaozao sold medicine from morning until afternoon. Looking at the long line of people lining up behind, Lin Zaozao couldn’t help but complain inwardly.
Damn, there really are so many rich people!
She thought that with the price of one cup of antidote at ten taels of gold, there would definitely be fewer and fewer people. But she didn't expect that the gold she received in one day was almost piled up like a mountain, and there were still so many people buying medicine now.
Just as Lin Zaozao couldn't help complaining inwardly, she saw a shabbily dressed woman with a man behind her. She handed ten taels of gold to Xiao Taohua's hand.
"Doctor Lin, I'll buy a cup of divine medicine."
Seeing Xiao Taohua taking the money, Lin Zaozao handed the medicine to the woman.
But when the woman took the medicine, she didn't drink it herself, but fed it to the mouth of the man behind her.
"Wife, I can't hold on anymore, don't waste the god medicine, drink it yourself!"
"Qi, drink it quickly. As long as you drink the medicine, your illness will get better. Be good and drink it quickly."
"I won't drink it. Drinking it would be a waste of medicine. My wife, being able to walk this far with you, I'm already very content. We have no more money, so I can't drink this medicine."
"Qi, drink it quickly. You can't die, if you die, what's the point of me living alone..."
Seeing this touching scene of life and death farewell in front of her, Lin Zaozao was a little speechless and made another cup of water, handing it to the woman.
"Alright alright, stop pushing it to each other. This immortal has a kind heart, seeing that you two also have some good fortune, you have also caught this immortal's eye. Here! I'll make an exception and give you buy one get one free."
Seeing the antidote Lin Zaozao handed over, the woman immediately kowtowed to Lin Zaozao. She first fed the medicine to the man, then drank the cup in her hand herself.
"Alright, go go! Haven't bathed for so long, stinking."
After speaking, Lin Zaozao also disgustedly pushed the woman to hint her to get lost quickly.
After the woman left, Xiao Taohua sitting on the side couldn't help but laugh. His wife really had a sharp tongue!
She secretly gave the money back to the woman, but she still had to scold someone. She really did good deeds without currying favor!
Thinking to himself, Xiao Taohua started collecting money again. By nightfall, there was no one left lining up to pay money.
The rest were all some shabbily dressed poor people.
"Xiao Taohua, Ji Fantian, Dashan, let's call it a day and eat dinner."
"Okay, Zaozao."
"Okay, young master."
"Yeah!"
The dozens of poor people still squeezing outside saw Lin Zaozao leaving straight away. They felt their pockets but couldn’t even touch one or two pieces of gold for half a day.
So in disappointment, they could only lean on the fence outside Lin Zaozao's yard. Those who were too ill to sit up could only lie on the ground.
At dinner time, Xiao Taohua asked the question he had always wanted to ask.
"Good morning, may I ask why you only sold medicine to people with gold today?"
"Why else could it be? It's because they have money! They are so rich, what's the harm in me taking some of their gold?"
"But wouldn't your reputation be ruined if you did this?" Xiao Taohua asked puzzledly.
"Who cares if my reputation is ruined! What's a reputation worth, a few copper coins?!"
Lin Zaozao put down her chopsticks and looked at Xiao Taohua and Ji Fantian seriously, "Dashan, Xiao Taohua, and Fantian, you've helped me all day, haven't you noticed that the people seeking medicine today all have one thing in common?"
"They were all dressed lavishly, clearly all pampered people." Xiao Taohua answered earnestly.
"Correct. You say this plague, does it distinguish between the poor and the rich when it harms people?"
"No!" Dashan affirmed.
"Well then. Since the plague does not distinguish people, why were all the people who came to seek medicine today wealthy people?
That's because those rich people, in order to get the medicine first, artificially blocked those poor people outside Xiaoshui Village.
Since they are unkind, why should I talk to them about benevolence, righteousness and morality? So if I don't take this opportunity to fleece them for some gold, I would have let my hard work these past few days go to waste!
Most importantly, I would be letting down all this meat that has grown on my body for no reason!"
After saying that, Lin Zaozao picked up another chopstick full of dishes and stuffed it into her mouth. She had not eaten anything since noon and was practically starving now.
After finishing eating, Lin Zaozao squeezed her much slimmer belly and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Damn that system, it made her lose weight again. She was really looking forward to seeing what she would look like after losing weight this time!
