Chapter 350: Wu Family's Dispute over Chinese Medicine Books

Xu Guangchang had more than 20 thugs under his command. He asked his cousin Xu Guangsheng to lead and manage these thugs. Their main job was to exclude dissidents and participate in project demolition. They would also threaten and intimidate the bosses of the building materials industry to get building materials at a low price. Later, these thugs would also beat up the workers who were collecting debts. After being beaten, many workers dared not speak out and finally received a small salary and left the matter unresolved.

Xu Guangchang usually works in a company in Nanling County. If the gatekeeper hadn't called him, he wouldn't have come back.

At this time, Xu Guangchang called Xu Guangsheng and gave him some instructions.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Guangchang glanced at the idle ceramic factory in the distance, shook his head, then got in the car and left.

Xu Guangchang would not give up unless he got money and benefits from the military hospital project. He decided to create trouble for the project of the 203rd Military Hospital in Nanshi and tried to stop the construction of the traditional Chinese medicine processing plant.

Sanli Town is a remote and quiet town, which looks peaceful and tranquil, but darkness is everywhere. Since the day when humans got rid of civilization, the barbaric and low-level consciousness will always remain in the depths of their souls. If there is an inducement that triggers the low-level consciousness, even civilized people will become hypocritical.

Take Sanli Town for example. In addition to the domineering Xu Guangchang, there is also the evil-doing Wang Ermaizi, the sneaky Jia brothers, and Li Batian who bullies the villagers...

Xu Guangchang, Wang Ermaizi, and Li Batian, all three of them were notorious. People in the village could not afford to offend them, but they could avoid them. However, some people were hypocritical, sweet-mouthed, and treacherous. When these people did evil, it would be even harder to guard against them.

Ever since Tian Guiying's family renovated their big house, some people in the village began to keep an eye on Tian Guiying's house, and their minds were also on Grandma Tian's house. Especially after Wu Qiushui came back, there was one more person, and his mind was different from others, this person's mind was only on Wu Qiushui.

Wuzhuang has the most families with the surname Wu, but there are not many families who are related to Wu Qiu Shui. When the ancestors of the Wu family came to Wuzhuang, they considered calling this place Wuzhuang, so they settled down in Wuzhuang.

The ancestor of the Wu family who came to Wuzhuang married and had children here. Later, he had two sons, and both sons inherited the ancestor's tradition. They were both doctors of traditional Chinese medicine. However, the eldest son was able to get the true tradition, that is, the inheritor of the Wu family's traditional Chinese medicine, and this eldest son was the grandfather of Wu Hongyuan, the grandfather of Wu Qiushui. Wu Qiushui's branch was not prosperous. Wu Hongyuan's father had only two brothers, and his uncle went to live in other places. When it came to Wu Hongyuan, there was only one son, Wu Tao, and Wu Tao had no sons, only one daughter, Wu Qiushui. However, the ancestor's second son had a prosperous family. The second son had five sons, and the five sons all lived in Wuzhuang. The descendants of the five sons also had many sons and grandchildren. By the time of Wu Qiushui's generation, there were more than 30 descendants of the Wu family's ancestors, but very few of them knew traditional Chinese medicine.

Wu Taoyun and Wu Taoyang are both Wu Qiushui's junior uncles. Their grandfathers are the third and fourth of five brothers. Wu Taoyun and Wu Taoyang have a good relationship. Every time Wu Taoyun goes to Wu Taoyang's house, Wu Taoyang's father Wu Hongfa tells him the story of Wu's traditional Chinese medicine. However, Wu Hongfa always expresses his dissatisfaction indignantly. Wu's traditional Chinese medicine is something from the ancestors, why is it only passed on to the eldest clan as an inheritance? They are all descendants of Wu's traditional Chinese medicine, but they cannot inherit Wu's traditional Chinese medicine.

After Wu Qiu Shui's father Wu Tao passed away unexpectedly, Wu Hongfa found Wu Qiu Shui's grandfather Wu Hongyuan. He asked Wu Hongyuan to hand over the Wu family's inherited medical books and medical skills, but was rejected by Wu Hongyuan.

So Wu Hongfa called some cousins ​​together to put pressure on Wu Hongyuan. They believed that although Wu Hongyuan was the head of the Wu family's traditional Chinese medicine, after Wu Tao left, the inheritance of the head was broken, so the younger generation of the close branch was needed to inherit the Wu family's traditional Chinese medicine. However, Wu Hongyuan believed that the Wu family still had a descendant, Wu Qiushui, and Wu Hongfa believed that the Wu family's traditional Chinese medicine was passed down to males, not females. However, Wu Hongyuan insisted that Wu Qiushui could marry a son-in-law, and the child would continue the Wu surname, and the main line of the Wu family's traditional Chinese medicine could also be inherited.

After much arguing, Wu Hongyuan could no longer withstand the unlimited harassment from his cousins, so he handed over the three handwritten medical books to Wu Hongfa, Wu Hongliang and Wu Hongwei respectively.

The three medical books were "Treatise on Meridians and Pulses", "Three Secrets of Acupuncture and Prescriptions", and "Discussion on Medicine". However, he did not hand over "Pulse Talk" and "Six Collections of Acupuncture and Prescriptions", as he used the excuse that they were lost in the war.

There are more than 20 medical books handed down by the Wu family, all of which are the experience gained by the ancestors of the Wu family in practice. Each book is also the crystallization of the research results of the ancestors of the Wu family on traditional Chinese medicine. However, not everyone can become a famous doctor even if they have medical books, especially traditional Chinese medicine depends on talent and understanding, so a famous doctor will emerge every few generations.

When it came to Wu Jiatao's generation, besides Wu Tao, there were also Wu Taoyun and Wu Taoyang who studied Chinese medicine. Unfortunately, Wu Tao died young, otherwise he would have made great achievements in Chinese medicine. Neither Wu Taoyun nor Wu Taoyang was admitted to university, and both of them studied at Wushui City College of Traditional Chinese Medicine at their own expense. After graduation, they took different paths. Wu Taoyun returned to Sanli Town to open a clinic, while Wu Taoyang entered Nanling County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine through connections.

The medical skills of Wu Taoyun and Wu Taoyang are both average. In fact, it is mainly because they lack talent. However, they do not think so. They both feel that they have not received the true teachings of Chinese medicine from the Wu family, so they do not have superb medical skills.

After Wu Hongyuan passed away, Wu Hongfa was not satisfied with the medical book he got, so he organized the Wu family to go to Tian Guiying's house again to ask for the medical book. In fact, Tian Guiying originally planned to give the Wu family's medical books to Wu Taoyang of the Wu family, after all, only Wu Taoyang had some achievements in Chinese medicine. But Wu Taoyang followed Wu Hongfa to make trouble, which made Tian Guiying very dissatisfied. How can a person practice medicine without virtue?

At that time, Tian Guiying found that her granddaughter Wu Qiushui was very intelligent and was particularly interested in Chinese medicine. She felt that in time, her granddaughter Wu Qiushui would definitely achieve something in Chinese medicine. So Tian Guiying hid the medical books and planned to leave them to her granddaughter Wu Qiushui. She ignored the people from the Wu family who came to ask for the medical books.

Later, Wu Hongfa led people to search Tian Guiying's home. After searching twice, Wu Hongfa and others did not find the medical book, so they returned disappointed.

Tian Guiying, who lost her source of income, had to sell the Wu family's ancestral home and used the money to buy a dilapidated house to live in. Despite the difficult life, she was still determined to let Wu Qiushui go to school and receive an education. She decided to save the money from the sale of the house as Wu Qiushui's tuition, hoping that her granddaughter would achieve something in the future.
