Chapter 953 - 955: You Should Thank Him
"Uncle, I’m the kind of person who speaks bluntly, so I’ll just say what I think." Xiaoxiao was someone who couldn’t hold things in; she said whatever came to mind, seeing that this family seemed to be honest and good people, so Xiaoxiao spoke up.
"Go on, it’s okay," Old An nodded in response, knowing that the two young people in front of them were more perceptive than they were.
Xiaoxiao directly said, "I actually think you shouldn’t hate that Divine Doctor Xue; instead, you should thank him."
"My younger sister is dead, why should we thank him?" An Quan asked, puzzled, with hatred filling his heart. He blamed Xue Zhiyi, he blamed Medicine King Valley; if not for them, his sister wouldn’t have died.
Xiaoxiao thought to herself, this family was indeed good-hearted, but somewhat stubborn. Take the grudge against Divine Doctor Xue, for example: even though they were so poor they could hardly afford food, they still wouldn’t accept Divine Doctor Xue’s kindness, nearly ending up marrying An’an off to a fool.
"Let’s suppose for a moment, suppose you hadn’t met that Divine Doctor Xue. Would An Ping have been rejected from marriage?"
An Quan nodded. That family outright bullied them; they had long found someone better off than their family, just waiting to break off the engagement. Even if they hadn’t met Xue Zhiyi, his sister would have been rejected sooner or later.
"And if An Ping was rejected from marriage, would she still have tried to take her own life?"
An Quan nodded again. Yes, he knew his sister’s character; she wouldn’t be able to withstand such a blow.
"If she had tried to take her own life, would she have died?"
An Quan recalled the situation at the time when his sister attempted suicide and nodded once more. They had thought she was dead already, and if it weren’t for Xue Zhiyi, they would have buried her.
"So Divine Doctor Xue saved An Ping, allowing you more time with her. You should thank him."
An Quan wanted to argue but found Xiaoxiao’s reasoning compelling.
Xiaoxiao continued, "Let’s assume again, if An Ping had survived the attempt, would she have gotten sick later on?"
An Quan nodded again, presumably she would have.
"If she fell ill, wouldn’t you still have to sell everything to scrape together money for her treatment?"
"Of course," An Quan replied immediately without even thinking.
"You sought out treatment everywhere, and suppose you hadn’t gone to Medicine King Valley and chose Beijing directly; do you think An Ping could have been saved?"
An Quan shook his head painfully. Indeed, it was already too late even if they hadn’t gone to Medicine King Valley, because the doctor said they were already several days late, and Beijing and Medicine King Valley were so close, it shouldn’t have wasted time.
"So if you hadn’t met Divine Doctor Xue, you wouldn’t even have the chance to blame him. But now, because you met him, you blame him for this. To be honest, he’s quite wrongly accused."
Old An and An Quan fell silent, carefully reflecting on Xiaoxiao’s words. They suddenly realized they had been overthinking it.
"Let’s suppose once more, after An Ping died, would the Zheng Family still have come to take An’an?"
An Quan nodded again vigorously; the Zheng Family had long been plotting, they would certainly come to seize An’an.
"Divine Doctor Xue disclosed his identity to the villagers so that An Ping could stand up straight and not be looked down upon, which is why our family of three was drawn here. If he hadn’t revealed his identity, we wouldn’t be here today, and we wouldn’t have been able to save your An’an. If not for knowing Divine Doctor Xue, An’an would have married that fool. All of this is because you knew Divine Doctor Xue, so An’an was saved, and An Ping got to spend more time with you. Therefore, you really shouldn’t resent him."
