C2157 Not Good and Not Bad

But now Old Zhou no longer needed the help of these people. Because the current him was different from the past. In the past, his position in the family was not high, very low.

But now, he was also someone with status in the family. Actually, Elder Zhou was still in the dark. He didn't know why his status rose so quickly.

He had always thought that the reason why his position had risen so quickly was because he had asked Wang Xiao to treat his wife. As his wife's condition had been cured and recovered by Wang Xiao, he had received the reward of the patriarch.

In fact, he did not know that the main reason why the chief had raised his status was because of his recommendation. His wife and the chief had found a child that had been lost for many years.

"Gang Master Wang, I'll have to trouble you then. You must treat my wife and Madam. Our family will never forget your great kindness." One of the men said with a serious expression.

"Don't worry. I will try my best. Madam's matter is my matter." Wang Xiao nodded.

After exchanging a few polite words with Wang Xiao, these experts turned around and left. They were all praying that Wang Xiao could treat Madam. Madam's condition was really worrying. She had been ill all these years.

The men from before were also members of the Zhou Family. Although they had some ability, they were not direct disciples. Thus, they were unable to be placed in an important position. They could even be chased out at any time.

Fortunately, Madam found out about their ability, so she promoted them and allowed them to live in the family. There were so many members of the Zhou Family, at least a few thousand of them.

Although they were all members of the Zhou Family, there were still some distance between them. There were also direct relatives, collateral relatives, or branch families. Some collateral members who didn't have any ability would be chased out by their families.

Give them some money, then let them pack up and leave. They would never be able to enter the family again. Because the family wouldn't raise useless trash, they wouldn't raise rice buckets.

As for some family members, although they did not have any ability or ability, because they had some martial arts, they had the chance to stay and be hired thugs to take care of some of the family's business.

The more this kind of family, the more cruel it was. There was no kinship at all. The core of all the families was the survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest. It was not that they were inhumane, but that there was nothing they could do.

If all the people in the family did not live up to their expectations, they would all be useless. Then sooner or later the family would be wiped out and swallowed up by other forces. Hence, for the sake of the family's interests, for the sake of the family's permanent existence, they had no choice but to do so.

There were many members in the family. If they were to raise all of them, it might consume too many resources. After spending so many resources, they would definitely drag the clan into poverty. Those with talent would not be able to obtain sufficient resources to nurture them.

In order to save resources, and for those with talent in the family to obtain more resources to nurture them, every family would chase out all the useless rice buckets and give them some money to let them go out to survive.

Just like the Nie Family, it was also one of the four great families. Back then, Young Master Nie's family was kicked out of the house. However, when Young Master Nie grew up, he worked hard to become stronger. His family discovered his business talent, so they put him in an important position again.

"Gang Master Wang, let's go in." Elder Zhou said politely.

"Okay." Wang Xiao nodded.

Following Old Zhou, Wang Xiao entered the small courtyard. After entering the small courtyard, it was still the same as before. Wang Xiao had come here before, but when he came here again, he found that the scenery here was exactly the same as before. There was not the slightest change.

However, although the scenery here did not change at all, Wang Xiao's state of mind had changed. When he entered this place again, his state of mind had changed greatly. It was completely different from before.

In the small courtyard, strange flowers and plants were planted. They gave off a serene aura. This aura was very delicate, but it was not strong. There was only a faint fragrance. If the aura was too strong, it would not be good.

These exotic flowers and plants were very expensive. Any one of them was worth more than tens of thousands. Ordinary families would not be able to plant these plants. For ordinary families, there was not even a guarantee of life. How could they be in the mood to plant these flowers and plants?

In the small courtyard, besides these flowers and plants, there were also fake mountains, pavilions, lotus ponds, and so on. After passing through the lotus pond, one could see that the water inside was extremely clear and one could see the bottom. There were lotus flowers and aquatic plants in the lotus pond.

One could see groups of fish. Slowly, slowly, he swam back and forth in the lotus pond. These fish were raised artificially, so when Wang Xiao and Wang Xiao passed by the lotus pond, although they made a noise, they didn't scare the fish away.

When they arrived at the lotus pond, Elder Zhou stopped and looked at the wooden house in front of him. He cupped his fists and said respectfully, "Madam, Gang Master Wang is here. Madam, is it convenient for you now? If it's convenient, let Gang Master Wang in."

"Come in."

A woman's voice came from the wooden house. However, this voice wasn't Madam's. It should be the maid beside Madam.

"Gang Master Wang, you can go in. I won't go in. I'll wait for you here." Elder Zhou said politely.

"Alright, thank you." Wang Xiao nodded. Every time Elder Zhou came with him, he would just stand by the lotus pond and wait. He did not enter his wife's room.

Actually, Elder Zhou did not have to wait here at all. He could go back and wait for his good news. But he would stand here and wait every time. He probably wanted to express his loyalty.2

As servants, as long as they seized the opportunity, they would be good at taking advantage of it. It was like when a leader caught a cold, there would always be a group of subordinates who would rush to serve him. They would pour water, buy medicine, carry stools, and ask for warmth.

In short, those subordinates who surrounded the leader would rush to care for the leader. They would even worry that they would fall behind and the opportunity would be snatched away by their companions. Wang Xiao took a step forward and walked towards the wooden house in front of him.

This small courtyard was very delicate. It was a courtyard house. There was a front door in front of him. Behind it were wooden houses, and in the middle was a courtyard. This kind of building originated from a very ancient era.

In ancient times, almost all the wealthy merchants and bureaucrats would build this courtyard house. But in modern times, this kind of building was very rare.

Why? It was because although this type of building was very beautiful, the area it occupied was too large. Even though it took up quite a lot of land, and it also had a lot of money. Therefore, other than the extremely rich and wealthy, Very few people build this type of house.

When he came to the wooden door, Wang Xiao stopped for a few seconds. After that, he raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.

Elder Zhou stood beside the lotus pond. He realized that Wang Xiao was actually preoccupied today. What was going on? Why did Wang Xiao have so much on his mind today? Every time he invited Wang Xiao to treat his wife, Wang Xiao was in a good mood.

But this time, he found that Wang Xiao's mood was very heavy.

What was going on? Could it be that Wang Xiao was not confident in curing his wife's illness, so he had a lot on his mind? However, it was impossible. It did not make sense. Wang Xiao's medical skills were very good. How could he not be confident in curing his wife's illness?

Moreover, Wang Xiao hadn't diagnosed Madam and treated her. He didn't even know what her condition was. Hence, how could he know if he could treat Madam's illness?

Perhaps the reason Wang Xiao was worried was because he was under a lot of pressure. After all, Madam was the wife of the Zhou family's patriarch. Her safety was related to the fate of the entire Zhou Family. Therefore, Wang Xiao felt the pressure was great, so he was worried.

With this thought in mind, Elder Zhou felt that it was really difficult for him to do this for Wang Xiao. Every time Madam fell ill, he would invite Wang Xiao to treat her. He owed Wang Xiao a favor, as well as all the members of the Zhou Family. He owed Wang Xiao a favor as well. If there was a chance in the future, he had to pay it back.

Wang Xiao gently knocked on the door. He could not help but feel nervous, as if his heart was beating. If he went up to the mountain of blades and went down to the sea of flames, Wang Xiao would never hesitate, or even worry.

However, when he thought about how he was about to meet his wife, he couldn't help but become nervous. He felt inexplicably anxious and nervous in his heart. He really wanted to control his emotions. He really wanted to be calm and calm. It was just meeting his wife. It wasn't a big deal. He didn't need to be so nervous at all. However, the more he wanted to be calm, the more he couldn't remain calm.

He didn't expect himself to be so cowardly and cowardly. Even his wife didn't dare to meet him. In the past, his wife and the patriarch had come to Wang Xiao several times, but he did not want to see the two of them, so he avoided them. It wasn't that he really didn't want to see them, but he didn't have the courage to see them. Of course, he also had some hatred in his heart, and there was also a hurdle that he could not let go.

Creak!

When the door was opened, Wang Xiao saw a very delicate and pretty woman. This person was the maidservant beside Madam, and also the person Madam trusted. One must not underestimate a maid. A servant who could be the master's maid was also the most important person among all the servants.

Servants were divided into several types. Some people trimmed flowers and plants, some people cleaned and cleaned, some people did manual labor, some people took care of the master, and some were the maidservants that the master was closest to.

The closer the maidservants were to the master, the higher their status was. This was because these types of people could see their master every day and often accompany her by her side. Thus, their words carried some weight and had a status among the many servants.

This was just like those eunuchs in the ancient times. Although eunuchs did not have power, they stayed by the Emperor's side every day. Sometimes words could influence the Emperor's thoughts and decisions. It was because these eunuchs often stayed by the Emperor's side and could say a few words in front of the Emperor that the ministers tried to get close to him.

There was also the driver beside the Secretary, although he did not seem to have any power. But people like that can talk. If he asked the secretary to do something while driving, the secretary usually wouldn't refuse. If his steering wheel accidentally veered off, everyone would be finished.

Wang Xiao had seen this woman before, and this woman knew him. As long as it was the servants by Madam's side, Wang Xiao would generally know them. This woman was very pretty, she was definitely a beauty.

However, Wang Xiao was not in the mood to see a beauty right now. He only cared about Madam's health, and only about her health. No matter how beautiful she was, he was not in the mood to look at her standing in front of Wang Xiao.

"Hello, Gang Master Wang."

When the maid saw Wang Xiao, Wang Xiao bowed slightly and greeted her politely. The maid beside the madam was different. Not only was she polite, but she also looked like a flower or jade.

Although this woman was only a servant, her looks and figure were definitely school beauties. Even if there were many school beauties, they probably wouldn't be as beautiful as her.

"How is Madam's health?" Wang Xiao asked.

The woman shook her head. "I can't say it's good, but I can't say it's bad either. You'll know when you go in and take a look."
