Meng Yan's Transformation

Chapter 208 Letter of Recommendation

The "great god" cupped his hands, but bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Dr. Zhan, for saving us today and saving us from being humiliated by everyone. We admit defeat, and we accept it wholeheartedly. Please let us go."

"The two brothers do not bear a grudge against me and are grateful to me, which shows that you are open-minded and generous people. I have no intention of detaining the two brothers. You can leave at any time. I have no intention of humiliating you today. I just want the villagers to break the feudal superstitions, go to the hospital when they are sick, and believe in science." Zhan Yu said sincerely.

"We know, we know." "The Great God" and "The Second Great God" began to pack up.

"Brother, we have lost face this time. No one in this area within dozens of miles will ask us to perform shaman rituals anymore. We have lost our jobs today." The "Second Great God" said to the "Great God" while packing up his things.

"Stop talking so much, pack up and leave. I want to crawl into a crack in the ground now. I don't want to stay here for even a quarter of an hour. Didn't you see that after Zhang Xincheng explained and revealed our French method, everyone wanted to eat us? If it weren't for Doctor Zhan who drove everyone away, would we still be able to stand and talk? We would have been torn to pieces long ago. It's a blessing in disguise that we can escape unscathed today." The "Great God" whispered.

"Zhang Xincheng is really a piece of shit. If it wasn't for his mother Wang Baoqin begging us to come, would we have suffered such humiliation today? This mother and daughter, one with a good face and the other with a bad face, have done us a lot of harm. We used to be on a high altar, and everyone would show us respect. Now we have fallen to the bottom, how are we going to live in the future?" said the "Second Great God" with a sad face.

"I told you to shut up, why are you still talking? Let's pack up and leave." The "Great God" lowered his head and shouted.

"Brothers, please stay." Zhan Yu said.

"Doctor Zhan, are you going to go back on your word, detain us and send us to the police station?" exclaimed the "Second God".

Zhan Yu looked at the two men looking at him in fear and confusion. He smiled and said, "Brothers, please don't misunderstand me. A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. I, Zhan Yu, mean what I said and I will not send you to the police station. Although I hate you for cheating people of their money, you are also trying to support your family, but your means are not acceptable. I cut off your source of income today, and I don't want to force you into a dead end. I want to give you a fair way to make money."

"Doctor Zhan, if you can give us a good way to make money, my brother and I will definitely turn over a new leaf and stop doing this deceptive magic. We have elderly parents and young children at home, seven or eight people who need us to earn money to support them. Doctor Zhan, you also know that shaman dancing is dangerous. In order to practice basic skills, my brother and I have suffered a lot and got injured countless times. If there is a good way to make a living, who would be willing to take risks? We are really forced by life and have no choice." The "God" said in a crying voice.

"Here is a letter of recommendation. Take it and go to the county cultural bureau to find Deputy Director Li. He will arrange for you to work in the county acrobatic troupe. I saved his wife from giving birth, and I cured his mother of rheumatism. He promised me that I would find him if I had any problems. You two brothers have certain talents. You can find a place to use your talents in the county acrobatic troupe and earn money to support your family. It may not be as fast as your shaman dance, but today your shaman dance was exposed in my house. It may be difficult for you to find a job in the surrounding villages. It is better to get a long-term and safe job."

The "great god" took the recommendation letter from Zhan Yu. The two of them knelt down and said, "Doctor Zhan, we two brothers thought we had met our nemesis today, but it turns out we have met a noble person. Doctor Zhan, you are our second parents, and you have given us a second life. Don't worry, if we two brothers can work in the county acrobatic troupe, we will live up to Doctor Zhan's recommendation, work hard to train good programs, create a good spiritual life for the people of our hometown, and repay you well..."

Zhan Yu hurried forward to help the two men up before the "God" finished speaking and said, "Brothers, please don't be so polite to me. It's too embarrassing. A man has gold under his knees, and he only kneels to heaven and earth and his parents. I don't ask for your repayment. As long as you work in the county acrobatic troupe with peace of mind and live a happy life, that's enough."

Zhan Yu took out a few dozen yuan from his arms and said, "You two have worked very hard today. It will be hard to report to your wife if you earn a penny when you go home. This is the medical fee I earned from seeing patients for many days. It's not much money. Don't think it's too little, brothers. Just take it home for emergency use."

"Doctor Zhan, you introduced us to jobs for free. This is a great favor and we have no way to repay you. How can we ask Doctor Zhan for more money?" The "great god" said evasively.

“Take the money first. Consider it a loan from me. Pay me back when you start working in the county acrobatic troupe and get paid. You’ve been out all day today and haven’t earned a penny, while your elderly and children at home are waiting for you.” Zhan Yu said as he forced the money into the pocket of “Second God”.

"To be honest, my mother is 88 years old and has been bedridden for many days and hasn't eaten for several days. My wife asked me to buy a bottle of canned peaches for my mother after I performed the shaman dance so that she can eat and escape from the sick bed. I will only take the money for one bottle of canned peaches. Doctor Zhan, you can take the rest back. You also have patients at home, so buy a bottle of canned peaches for them as well. I can use the homonym of the word "peach" (escape) for good luck, so that she can escape from the illness and recover soon." The "shaman" said as he went back to give the change to Zhan Yu.

The two pushed and pulled. Zhan Yu almost fell down. Finally, unable to refuse the kindness, the two "great gods" took the money and disappeared into the night under the starlight...
