Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Before the old yamen runner almost got angry, another younger yamen runner, perhaps because this was his first business trip since he took office, was relatively soft-hearted. Faced with the tragic scene of the eldest lady of the Gao family with blood all over her face, he was moved by her shrill cries and pleas, and he tugged at the sleeve of the old yamen runner next to him and whispered a few words to him.

The old yamen runner looked at his new colleague in embarrassment, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded reluctantly, indicating that he should decide for himself. If anything went wrong and made Doctor Xiaoshen angry, or if Zhao Tou found out, he would not be blamed for it.

The young yamen runner immediately laughed, stepped forward, lowered his body, squatted in front of the eldest lady of the Gao family, and whispered to her, "I can ask for you, but there is no guarantee that the little doctor will agree. Moreover, even if the yamen runners ask the little doctor to feel the pulse and ask for a consultation, they have to pay (yes, Zhao Tou did not hide it from them and told his subordinates that he paid the little doctor out of his own pocket. What Zhao Tou wants is to let his subordinates know his contribution and let them be grateful. It is not the way to do good things without leaving a name). So the implication is that you can't let the little doctor come to treat your husband without paying anything, you have to pay for it."

The eldest wife of the Gao family nodded repeatedly, indicating that she understood the rules. She took the opportunity to roll up her sleeves and handed a few silver notes to the yamen runners, saying that this was just a reward for the yamen runners, and she would give the doctor another one. She repeatedly emphasized that if the doctor really couldn't save her husband, she would accept it, but she would definitely not be vague about what she should give to the doctor.

The eldest lady's words gave the young yamen runner some peace of mind.

Don't let the doctor be blamed for not being able to save the woman's husband. Wouldn't that just offend people for nothing?

After receiving the silver note, the young yamen runner asked her to wait here while he went to communicate with the young doctor first.

The eldest lady of the Gao family thanked him repeatedly and kowtowed several times.

Lin Xiaoyue was on the other side. Although she was leaning against the mountain wall with her eyes closed, she was still listening to the movements in the cave.

Naturally, what happened in the exile area could not be hidden from her keen hearing that surpassed the five senses of ordinary people.

However, she thought there was no need to step forward herself, as the bailiffs might just stop them, saving her the trouble of taking a few extra steps.

But I didn't expect that this yamen runner would be so easy to talk to and so soft-hearted? He came over after just two or three sentences?

Humph, I'm afraid they made a lot of money from this.

"Girl, look at that..." The young yamen runner ran up to Lin Xiaoyue, but did not pass her. He went straight to the tent to call for help.

I guess he felt that since these four girls got along well, it didn't matter who he talked to. As long as one of them agreed, it would basically be a done deal and there would be no problem.

But he never expected that he would hit a tough obstacle with Lin Xiaoyue.

Lin Xiaoyue heard the footsteps and knew someone was coming. But when the person stood in front of her, she raised her head slightly, opened her eyelids, and closed them again. The meaning was self-evident: she heard it, but didn't want to care, so let it go, goodbye.

The bailiff was a little embarrassed. The girl rejected him without even saying a word. She was too cold.

But who can blame him for having a little miracle doctor by his side? I can't afford to offend him. I can't afford to offend him.

Tomorrow, half of them still need the little doctor to take their pulses. He couldn't really offend the little doctor for those exiles, could he? Besides, he had made it very clear to the eldest lady of the Gao family when he came here. He was just asking on her behalf. Whether she agreed or not, he couldn't make the decision on behalf of the little doctor.

The interaction between the young yamen runner and Lin Xiaoyue was naturally seen by the eldest lady of the Gao family. She was so anxious in her heart, why did he reject it? Can you at least give me a chance?

The eldest lady of the Gao family did not give up, but remained kneeling on the ground, crawling on her knees in the bumpy cave towards Lin Xiaoyue.

Upon seeing this, the old yamen runner hurriedly took two steps forward to block the way for the eldest lady of the Gao family.

The eldest lady calmly took advantage of the old yamen runner's attempt to stop her and quickly stuffed a few more silver bills into his pocket, begging him to be flexible.

The old yamen runner squeezed the silver bill in his hand, symbolically stopped the man, and then let him go.

Well, this is about spending money to pave the way.

Lin Xiaoyue: ...How dare you stop me without taking it seriously?

Old yamen runner: There’s nothing we can do. We also need to eat. Who lets others give us so much?

……

In the blink of an eye, the eldest lady of the Gao family came to Lin Xiaoyue on her knees. She didn't dare to jump up and pull off Lin Xiaoyue's pants. She just kowtowed from a distance of two steps, begging for her mercy, hoping that the young doctor among them could help save her husband. If her husband was in trouble, the future of their children would be soaked in coptis.

Maybe it was because the eldest lady had been away from the team for too long, and the discussions around woke up the two sleeping children. They opened their sleepy eyes and looked around. They saw their grandmother sitting beside their father, whose face was flushed and eyes could not be opened, sobbing and wiping tears. Combined with the discussions around them, the two three-and-a-half-year-old children, who knew what was going on early, roughly knew that their father was seriously ill at the moment.

I looked up again to search for A Niang, and saw her kowtowing to someone near the cave entrance, probably begging for help.

Along the way, the two twins were already accustomed to this kind of scene in the group of exiles, but now it was not their own mother who was begging for help instead of standing as insignificant bystanders watching others beg for help.

The two boys moved faster than their brains. They subconsciously took small steps and stumbled towards A Niang's direction.

As for grandma and daddy..., even though the two little ones couldn't understand why they often pointed at them and scolded their mom, they could still sense that grandma and daddy didn't like them.

Mrs. Gao, who was crying and wiping her tears, was still immersed in sadness. When she looked up, she saw her twin grandson and granddaughter holding hands and running towards the cave entrance. It was obvious that they were running towards their mother.

Madam Gao glared at the two little guys fiercely and spat secretly, "They didn't see that their father was so sick, but they didn't come to care for him. They are really ungrateful. Pah."

The two little ones quickly came to their mother. When they heard their mother begging the big sister in front of them to save their father, they obediently followed their mother and knelt down, kowtowing to Lin Xiaoyue.

From Lin Xiaoyue's attitude towards the people in the village, it is not difficult to see that she is not a heartless person. As long as no one actively hurts her and the people she cares about, as for other insignificant people, Lin Xiaoyue usually ignores them.
