In Li'an City, Pingde County, Zhang Village.
At the home of Zhang Yuhui, number 36, Group 7, she had long given up on medical treatment. She hadn't even dared to tell her children about her cancer. While Zhang Yuhui herself didn't really believe that practicing the Taotie Jue could cure cancer,
She was somewhat familiar with the publisher and had privately verified their identity, so she hadn't sold the account to someone else.
At the same time, she wanted something to pass the time,
And to avoid dwelling on her own thoughts.
So after pondering for an hour, she naturally began to attempt cultivation. Following the breakdown and analysis in Ding Yun's teachings, she tried to practice.
For the first few days, she felt nothing.
But fortunately, she was not impatient. After three to five days with no sensation, she could still calmly follow the process. Thus, by the seventh day, she had successfully completed the transformation of her stomach and cultivated the Taotie Stomach, gaining entry into the Taotie Jue.
Upon mastering the Taotie Jue, she could clearly feel a very subtle wisp of Taotie true qi being born in her stomach.
And it could freely circulate throughout her entire body.
When this wisp of true qi reached the cancerous areas, it caused a tingling and slight pain. Although Zhang Yuhui could not see how the true qi was devouring the cancer cells, this tingling and slight pain undoubtedly made her feel that the Taotie Jue might indeed be effective, and truly consuming the cancer cells.
Therefore, she naturally cultivated even more diligently.
Following Ding Yun's instructions, she also prepared some nourishing medicinal meals that could regulate her body and enhance the devouring and nourishing effects of the Taotie true qi.
For a long time afterward, Zhang Yuhui neither took hospital medicine, nor tried any folk remedies recommended by others, nor went for hospital check-ups. She simply spent about an hour each day practicing the Taotie Jue, and she could clearly feel her body improving.
Her complexion became rosy.
She no longer felt tired when working in the fields or doing housework.
It felt like returning to a few years prior, before she had been diagnosed with cancer. In short, she felt relaxed and at ease.
Out of gratitude, and out of kindness,
She voluntarily helped Ding Yun promote those two cultivation methods. For those who were truly skeptical, there was nothing she could do. But for those she was familiar with, and for some people she considered friends, she genuinely and enthusiastically recommended them, showing them her former and current condition, and her previous examination reports.
With her help, gradually, some people, half-believing, reluctantly began to cultivate.
It was a pity that some were inconsistent, practicing for a few days then stopping.
Very few truly persevered.
After another half a month, only three people successfully gained entry.
Overall, the propagation and development speed of the Taotie Jue and the Five Elements Taotie Jue was quite slow. In half a year, only over a hundred people had successfully cultivated and gained entry. At this rate, it was unknown how long it would take for the world to truly believe.
Fortunately, Ding Yun was not in a hurry, so she lived peacefully for the past six months, entering an early retirement.
On the contrary, her children.
Were greatly troubled by Gu Jianguo.
The little bit of father-son and father-daughter affection they once had was likely worn away through these repeated troubles.
As for how he troubled them, it was generally just one thing: after Gu Jianguo got drunk outside, those he was drinking with would call them to pick him up. This kind of operation, where they had to pick him up when he was drunk, was acceptable once or twice. Gu Mingxia and Gu Haomiao could manage, after all, he was their biological father. But having to pick him up every day, sometimes even twice a day, was more frequent than clocking in at work.
Who could accept this?
Not only did they have opinions, but their spouses also had opinions. They didn't even want to bring up their own children, and only considered having children if their parents or in-laws could help them raise them. Now, instead of experiencing the troubles of raising children, they were experiencing the trouble of being burdened by a drunken baggage.
Who could tolerate this? Who could be happy?
Imagine, after just finishing overtime, getting off work past nine o'clock, not having had dinner or a late-night snack yet, and not even having reached home, a call comes in, asking them to pick up a drunk Gu Jianguo.
Or, on a rare occasion when they weren't working overtime, after dinner and a bath, comfortably lying on the bed watching TV, or enjoying marital intimacy, another call comes in.
Asking them to pick up Gu Jianguo.
Each pickup involved a hassle, taking an hour, and sometimes there were onlookers.
They had truly lost all face.
After half a year of this, Gu Haomiao and Gu Mingxia unanimously decided that they no longer cared about their reputation or what others said. They blocked all the numbers.
If anyone called them to pick someone up, they would directly curse at them, stating they had no time and could not possibly pick him up. They told those who drank with Gu Jianguo to either let Gu Jianguo stay the night or find someone else to take him home. They also stated that if Gu Jianguo encountered any danger on the way, or died from drinking,
They would definitely sue for compensation.
And told them to take care of themselves.
After blocking seven or eight people like this, Gu Haomiao and Gu Mingxia's daily lives finally became somewhat normal. They no longer had to go out in the middle of the night.
This affected their sleep quality and marital harmony.
As for whether Gu Jianguo would be in danger, he wasn't a child. He was an adult. Let alone danger, even if he were crushed into a pulp by a car, he would deserve it.
However, Gu Haomiao and Gu Mingxia's drastic actions did not make Gu Jianguo quit drinking. They only made Gu Jianguo and his drinking companions change their drinking locations. Instead of drinking at others' homes or in hotels, they began to pack dishes and alcohol and drink at Gu Jianguo's home, sleeping there afterward.
And because they drank directly at home and didn't need to be picked up, Gu Jianguo drank even more recklessly.
As for where he got the money?
He had no money. The alcohol and food were all paid for by his friends. He was simply a freeloader.
He relied purely on his thick skin and willingness to show up whenever called.
He never refused to pay for drinks, nor to socialize.
Generally speaking, Gu Jianguo would only slightly sober up from his drunken stupor and start working odd jobs, only needing to work for three to five days at a time, when he ran out of money to pay for electricity and internet bills. Then, as soon as he got the money, he would continue drinking.
In other words, he only worked when he was broke.
As long as he had a little money to pay for utilities and internet, he was too lazy to move or earn money.
Similar to the "Sanhe Gods."
His future was almost entirely predictable.
Either he would die suddenly from drinking one day, or he would develop some illness. Then, he would either die because he had no money for treatment,
Or his children would have to pay for his treatment, burdening them.
Oh, and he hadn't paid for medical insurance. In previous years, the original host paid for his insurance. He was unwilling to pay for it himself, and now that Ding Yun had divorced him, who would be willing to pay for him?
