most of the pork, beef, and lamb were sold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haha, when business is good, I make more money, and when I make more money, I’m happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And of course, when I’m happy, I smile…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingyue, did you pay attention in your tutoring class today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was really focused!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl named Mingyue assured earnestly, but as she spoke, her eyes kept darting around, revealing a hint of slyness, obviously lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingyue’s father nodded, satisfied, and said, “I’m just a pig butcher without much prospects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your mother is sick and can’t earn money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So you must study hard and earn more when you grow up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ll need to support the family when your mother and I get old.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Studying hard doesn’t necessarily lead to a good future though!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingyue pouted, speaking dismissively: “Han Xiaomei in our class dropped out last year to help her parents sell clothes, and she made a lot of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she even has her own car.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So what, do you also want to drop out and help me butcher pigs?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingyue’s father was displeased, glaring at his daughter and scolding, “I’m warning you, if you don’t study hard, I’ll spank you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Fang Bai still standing in the yard, watching with a smile, Mingyue felt embarrassed and frustrated, stamping her foot and saying, “Dad, I’m already a big girl, and you still keep threatening to spank me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not shameful for you to not earn money, but I’m embarrassed enough!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you know it’s embarrassing, then study hard for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you do well, you’ll be rewarded by your dad;

he rented all three rooms by himself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paid a year’s rent, and I’ve given it to mom to keep safe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingyue’s father waved Fang Bai over, and once Fang Bai approached, he asked with a smile, “Young man, what’s your last name?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, uncle, I’m Fang Bai.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, Fang Bai, are you studying in Yanjing, or are you working here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m a student at Zhongzhou Medical College, preparing for a one-year internship at Yanjing Hospital.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>well, Yanjing Hospital is a big hospital…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and being a doctor is a good profession with a lot of prospects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young man, work hard, and in the future, you’ll make a lot of money to support your parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t be like my daughter, half-hearted in her studies, having teachers come for home visits for no reason, and having to spend money on summer classes, not even sure if it’s useful…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ouch, Mingyue, stop pinching me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who told you to speak ill of me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingyue reached out and pinched her father’s waist, then dodged away and made a face at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh, my daughter has been rebellious since she was young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I tell her to go east, she goes west; there’s just no controlling her…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did I end up with such a mischievous girl?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingyue’s father rubbed his forehead in distress, looking as though he was deeply disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle, I think what Mingyue said makes sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diligent study doesn’t necessarily guarantee success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know quite a few university graduates who aren’t doing so well, while some who only finished elementary or middle school are doing pretty good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, no one can say for certain what the future holds; it all depends on chance and opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In my view, as long as a girl doesn’t follow bad influences and become corrupted, she should be left to make her own choices!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad, did you hear that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Bai is an outstanding student from the medical college, and even he says studying is useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why do you have to be so strict with me…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I might as well not go to that tutoring class anymore!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s so annoying to study!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingyue felt as if she had found a kindred spirit after hearing Fang Bai’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You wouldn’t dare!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingyue’s father glared with a threatening look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We spent two thousand yuan enrolling you in a tutoring class; you think you can just say no and not go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That money would be wasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Say you won’t go again, try me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he rolled up his sleeves, as if ready to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingyue let out a scream and dashed into the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she came back out, she was pushing a wheelchair with a middle-aged woman in it who looked about the same age as Mingyue’s father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Bai knew this woman must be Mingyue’s mother, who had been talking with Mingyue inside the room just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingyue’s mother seemed frail and pallid, with a complexion that looked as if it had a layer of dust on it, similar to the color of the sky in Yanjing on days when the air quality was poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, dad’s going to hit me; you have to take my side!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingyue wheeled her mother out from the room to intervene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is Mingyue’s mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s unwell and can’t walk easily.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingyue’s father saw Fang Bai looking at his wife and lost the will to reprimand his daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed and the smile faded from his face, his expression growing somber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mingyue’s mother smiled weakly at Fang Bai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Bai glanced at Mingyue’s mother’s face and knew instantly that her father was lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mother didn’t have a sickness, she had been poisoned by something called the “Man-Eating Flower.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This type of poison was something Fang Bai had encountered in his previous life in the Cultivation World, made from the pollen of a flower called the “Man-Eating Flower,” mixed with several other toxic venoms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The “Man-Eating Flower” poison wasn’t particularly strong; it was not the kind that kills someone almost instantly after ingestion, but rather, it had a slow and enduring toxicity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once afflicted with the “Man-Eating Flower” poison, the toxin would gradually seep into the internal organs, bones, and bloodstream, slowly devouring a person’s vitality until they eventually died, which could take months or even years.\u003C\u002Fp>",1315,"2026-06-10T05:14:13.374Z",1,"novelbin.me","76238514b983ab6c101a6ccc92d77dd39afa4a4e68ac128c18da4d574de71652","urban-extraordinary-immortal-doctor-chapter-118","urban-extraordinary-immortal-doctor-chapter-116",2473,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-extraordinary-immortal-doctor-cover.jpg"]
