No one in the family responded to Wang Yao's uncle's request . Everyone just has to mind his or her own business when it came to family . Wang Yao did have money, but he worked very hard to earn it . He couldn't just throw his money around like wasted paper . Even though his uncle was a family member, he wouldn't be able to provide ongoing financial support .
The atmosphere at the dinner table became a bit awkward .
Wang Yao's uncle drank a lot of alcohol . His aunt's husband drove behind his uncle's bicycle in case something happened .
"He has complained to us . He must have complained to your grandparents as well," said Zhang Xiuying .
Wang Yao's grandparents were not in good health at the moment, so Zhang Xiufang was quite worried .
"I have an idea . If he really wanted to start his own business, I could give him some money, and my aunt can contribute some money as well . The factory could be considered owned by three families . We'll just let uncle to manage it," said Wang Yao .
"I don't think it is a good idea," said Wang Fenghua, who rarely expressed his opinions .
"The factory could only belong to one family . You know your uncle . I don't want any family dispute caused by money," said Wang Fenghua .
"You're right . Just ignore what I said, then . " Wang Yao opened his palms up .
He didn't think it over . In fact, a lot of people fell out with their families due to money .
Wang Yao went out again at night . He walked to the south end of the village and entered his clinic . After walking around the place and making sure everything was fine, he locked the door of his clinic and went back to Nanshan Hill .
Once he had returned to his cottage on Nanshan Hill, he took out a book he had purchased online and started to read . The book was related to acupuncture . He had already finished reading one book related to acupuncture and placed the book on the table . He had also finished reading part of the second book .
It seems the author didn't proofread the book .
The errors were not about incorrect Chinese characters . The acupuncture points described in the book couldn't match up with the meridians described . For example, acupuncture points which should be on a meridian; instead, the author described in the book that the acupuncture point was on one of the eight extra channels of human body .

Not sure when I can get the medical book written by Sang Guzi .
When he was in Cangzhou, Sang Guzi told him that one of his biggest wishes was to write a book about all his medical experience . He could pass the book onto the future generations . Wang Yao had an in-depth conversation with Sang Guzi . They discussed the knowledge Wang Yao obtained from the system, and Sang Guzi was quite amazed of those knowledge .
Given Sang Guzi's medical skills, his book about acupuncture would be very valuable .
Although the book Wang Yao was reading certainly had some errors, it still had some concepts worth learning . Given Wang Yao's current medical knowledge, he knew very well of all the meridians and acupuncture points of human body . What he needed to learn from the book was the basic methods and process of acupuncture .
He didn't stop reading until the middle of the night .
Wang Yao went off Nanshan Hill very early in the next morning . He went to his clinic to water the plants he planted yesterday afternoon . Then he planted the rest of the plants .
After he had planted all of them, he set up the battle array . The battle array he set up around his clinic was different from the Spirit Gathering battle array, which could cause significant change to the courtyard . The battle array he set up around his clinic was purely to enhance the airflow . It didn't even trigger any wind . The only function of the battle array was to change the environment and atmosphere of the courtyard .
After he had made arrangements to the courtyard, he planned to add some furniture into his clinic .
He required herb cabinets, tables, chairs, and beds .
He had already made a list of the furniture he required . Apart from those ones he was going to purchase himself, he asked his friends to purchase herb cabinets for him, as he wanted antique herbal cabinets .
Wang Yao couldn't get all the things ready within one day . Fortunately he was in no hurry to open the clinic .
The next few days would still be quite hot . Wang Yao had been staying on Nanshan Hill most of the time in the last few days . He worked on the hill after he got up in the morning, then went to his clinic twice in the afternoon to look after the plants in the courtyard . He watered those plants with diluted ancient spring water daily .
When he was on the hill, he used the silver acupuncture needles to practice acupuncture on his own body according to the books he purchased online .
Shaoshang, Hegu, Yangxi, Yangchi . . . Wang Yao put a fine needle into these acupuncture points on his arm and felt the changes in his body .

He was practicing on his own body . Of course, he only chose those minor acupuncture points to practice as he ran his Qi throughout his body . If anything went wrong, he would use his Qi to block the acupuncture points .
As the needle pierced his skin, he felt a bit sting . When the needle reached the acupuncture point, he felt a bit itchy and numb .
Wang Yao only practiced acupuncture on a few points every time . He just wanted to feel the process . As he had grasped Chinese massage, he could identify acupuncture points very accurately . The needle got into the point every time . Identifying acupuncture points accurately was the most important thing when conducting acupuncture treatment . If a needle went into a wrong place, the person's life could be in danger .
. . .
It was gloomy, humid, and hot on the 18th of July .
Tian Yuantu had a distinguished guest .
"Hello, Mr . Sun, please take a seat and I'll make you a cup of tea," said Tian Yuantu .
"Thank you," said Sun Zhengrong .
Tian Yuantu called Wang Yao an hour ago to tell him that Sun Zhengrong was visiting his company again . Wang Yao told Tian Yuantu that he would meet Sun Zhengrong later . Sun Zhengrong just needed to wait for a short while . However Sun Zhengrong had been waiting for two hours already . If he was to meet anyone else for anything else, he wouldn't be so patient . Sun Zhengrong was not impatient at all while he waited for Wang Yao in Tian Yuantu's office . He was smiling and having tea . As for what was really on his mind, no one could know .
It was nearly noon by the time Wang Yao arrived at Tian Yuantu's company .
"Hello, Mr . Sun," said Wang Yao .
"Hello, Dr . Wang . I'm sorry to bother you again and ask you to meet me here . " Sun Zhengrong stood up right away .
In fact, he wanted to visit Wang Yao in person . It would make make any future contact easier for Sun Zhengrong if he had been taken to Wang Yao's place . However, Wang Yao didn't give him the opportunity .
"That's fine . Your son is sick again?" asked Wang Yao .
"Yes . He had an episode 15 days after he had taken your decoction the first time . I gave him the decoction to take again . It has been a week now . I'm afraid he might have another episode soon . That's why I came to see you . Please advise me . What I should do?" said Sun Zhengrong politely .

According to what happened after Sun Yunsheng had taken the decoction the first time, he might have another episode a week later . Therefore it was understandable why Sun Zhengrong was concerned .
Rumble! Suddenly there was a big sound of thunder outside .
"Come back here in three days and I'll give you a decoction," said Wang Yao .
"Great! Thank you, Dr . Wang," said Sun Zhengrong as he waved his hand .
The stoic man, who had been standing behind Sun Zhengrong, came forward with a wooden box .
Not again! thought Wang Yao .
"I've brought a little gift for you . Please accept this," said Sun Zhengrong .
"I accept your gratitude . As for the gift, I'm sorry, but I can't accept it," said Wang Yao .
"This thing inside was just a pile of useless paper for me . However, it might be of great use to you," said Sun Zhengrong .
A pile of useless paper? So this is?
Wang Yao could guess what it was .
The stoic man brought the wooden box in front of Wang Yao . Wang Yao took the box and opened it . There was a thread-bound medical book, which looked very old . Wang Yao guessed it was an antique book .
A Collection of Acupuncture Prescriptions .
There were four ancient Chinese characters on the cover of the book .
Wang Yao's eyes brightened up .
This is great! This book was written by a famous Chinese Traditional Medical Practitioner in Ming Dynasty . The author was very good at acupuncture .
Sometimes after you had tried your best to look for something, the thing you were looking for just fell right in your lap . Wang Yao had gotten exactly what he had been looking for .
He liked the gift very much . Everyone in the office could tell .
"Thank you, Mr . Sun . " He accepted the gift right away . He could give Sun Zhengrong a discount on the fee in return .
"I'm glad you like it . " Sun Zhengrong was thrilled . Now he knew what Dr . Wang liked . It would be easier to buy gifts for Wang Yao from now on .
It was not easy to find ancient medical books . However, he would make sure to find a few, as long as he was happy to pay .
Now he has the book . What about acupuncture needles?
Sun Zhengrong thought a lot .
Wang Yao left at lunch time . Both Tian Yuantu and Sun Zhengrong couldn't manage to keep him for lunch .
"Hao, I want you to collect as many ancient medical books and acupuncture needles as you can," Sun Zhengrong said to the stoic man after he had gotten into the car .
"Sure," said the stoic man .
"We will stay in Lianshan for three days," said Sun Zhengrong .
"Okay, I'll arrange our accommodations now," said the stoic man .
Thunder rumbled outside . Soon, it started to rain heavily .
Wang Yao had lunch at home after he had gone back to the village . Then he went out with an umbrella . It was quite windy outside, and the rain was heavy . He went to take a look at his clinic in the rain . The plants he planted two days ago were growing very well in the rain . All of the plants looked nice and green .
