After Zhang Dao sold all his land and property to the ancestral hall, the previous covetous glances vanished. It wasn't because those people had given up, but because they could no longer get their hands on what they desired. Moreover, word had spread that Zhang Dao was going to follow this Rural Doctor to study medicine and planned to leave for other places.
Since the man was already preparing to leave his hometown, what more could anyone want to do? Even killing him wouldn't grant them his land or house.
In the end, they could only give up and retreat.
As for robbing him of his money, no one truly dared.
Word from yesterday was that he had been as pale as a corpse, seemingly on the brink of death, but now he was ruddy and full of vigor. This could only mean the doctor was indeed highly skilled. The fact that Zhang Dao was willing to follow him to learn medicine only further underscored this point.
The village was small, so news naturally spread quickly.
